Album Artwork sucking in other albums

I have already looked at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468
Say I have audio books A, B, and C. Each of them is a 4 part audiobook.
When I look at them by Album scroll list, I see 4 of A, 4 of B, 4 of C. Tracking?
So, I right-click on on the 4 parts of A, choose Get Info, and then group these together as parts of a compilation. I am trying to have album view only show ONE artwork per book . . . .and this appears to work for Book A. Only one picture of the Album cover shows. Great. So, I proceed and do the same with B and C.
Here's where it gets funky.
I choose the 4 parts of B in Album view, get info, say Yes to compilation and . . . in the Album view the 4 parts of B get sucked into A. Now, according to the Album View, A is composed of 8 parts. What's odd is the correct artwork still shows in the Selected Item Window, but the artwork for Book A now has both A and B in the Album View list. I try it with C, and A ***** that one up as well.

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics One cover, too many tracks and One album, too many covers. You shouldn't need to set as part of a compilation unless you have different "Artists" reading different parts. Each book should have a single Album title with track numbers used to order the parts.
Audiobooks
With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.

Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

HT1386 I am unable to synch photo albums from ipad 3 to itunes on my windows pc. In addition to camera roll and ipod cache albums, i have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!

Dear Community members,
I am unable to synch photo albums from iPad 3 to iTunes on my Windows 7 pc.
In addition to Camera roll and iPod cache default albums, I have 6 other albums made from pix derived from the camera roll. Eg - Family pix in a folder, Office pix in another, Plant pixs in another, House architecture pix in another.......all also exist in the camera roll.
I have trawled the net for the last 8 hrs in vain!
I have ios5 on Ipad 3 and the latest Itunes on Windows PC.
As a precaution, I have used the windows "add pictures from...." to keep a copy in a separate folder in the windows desktop, but again it has all the pics mixed up together and not sorted as per the various albums in the ipad!
How to replicate the albums in the windows PC???
Regards
Sohal NS

Sync the photos back to the iPad using iTunes. You have to place the photos into a folder from which you sync photos. All photos that you want to sync to the device must be included in the main photos folder and selected to sync each time that you sync.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the Sync Photos From heading in order to select it.
Select the photos folder that you want to sync from.
Select all of the albums or photos within the folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Album artwork mixed with other artwork

my album artwork has been mixed with other album artwork of songs that I have removed off my phone. the mixed up artwork is only in the purchased songs. any suggestions on how to fix this? I am not looking to download apps or jailbreak my phone to fix this problem.

I have the same problem and this is how I get it to work.
Although the artwork in iTunes seems correct, you still need to check individual Artwork on each Album. (The new iTunes seems to mass them up.)
Go to iTunes Music and right click "get info -> artwork" on each of your song.
Make sure the artwork shows up.
In my case, some of the artwork is missing and some of them looks strange. Reset any artwork that is missing.
Uncheck the music sync so the existing music in your ipod is removed.
Before resync, go to your ipod to make sure all the music files are actually removed.
Resync.
Hope this help.

Can't delete some album artwork & put in new album artwork

When I got this new iPod (had an older one, pre-color) I used the feature that loads album artwork for you. Fine & dandy, except some of the artwork it found is wrong, wrong, wrong. For instance one of them says "Pure 80s!" which is not the original album's artwork (although, yes, it is an 80s song). I cannot for the life of me get rid of that album cover even though I "delete" it and put the correct album cover in it's place. Any help on this, or am I stuck with "Pure 80s!" instead of the real cover art from the original album the song was on? Argh!! (been trying to fix this intermitantly for several months). This is just one instance, there are several others like this and it drives me bonkers because I'm kind of anal.

Let me clarify one thing. When plugged into the computer & itunes, the album artwork IS correct. When I disconnect and the ipod is on it's own, the artwork is INcorrect.
Also, I don't sync because I use my laptop which doesn't have enough memory to hold all my music. I do load everything onto an external harddrive, but that is incase of a catastrophic emergency and the whole thing needs to be redone.

Album artwork not found for album in iTunes music store

I have ripped the Foo Fighters album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace CD and was hoping to grab the album artwork in iTunes, but iTunes claims "Artwork for 'Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace' could not be found".
I have double checked the spelling of the artist and album names, as well as checked for errant spaces or other characters, but I don't see why iTunes doesn't want to download this album art.
Has anyone overcome an issue like this before?
Thanks.

Yes, statistically you are correct. Although when you take into account that additional art enclosed in each song could in some cases cause a single file to tip over into the next 'block' of disk space (is HFS+ using 4K blocks these days?), and multiply that by the 13,600 songs I have ripped into my iTunes database, it is not something that interests me.
But if you're only missing a few album covers, then adding them manually won't add much space. I let iTunes find what it can find, then add the few it doesn't find manually.
And yes, if you look at my previous posts I have double-checked and even re-entered by hand the artist and album names to exactly match the ITMS entries with no success.
You wouldn't be able to detect, for instance, an extra space at the end of an album name. It's also possible that the artwork database doesn't exactly match the displayed data in the iTunes Store. You might be right that it's a problem with your iTunes, though; mine is almost never unable to download artwork.

Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes. Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up. I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have. Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means. But maybe someone else reading this post is.

How to restore album artwork on a few albums only?

how to restore my album artwork on one album only ?

Try deleting/unsyncing the songs and resync them. However, sometimes that does not work and sometimes a restore of the iPod id required

How do you return your album artwork to the right album?

ok on my ipod touh i had somehow accidentally rearranged the album artwork from one album to go to another album of a completely different song/album/genre
how can you fix this??

If the artwork is okay on your computer, then I would clear all the music from your iPod by choosing not to sync any music in iTunes to clear all music from the iPod. Once the music is removed from your iPod, sync it back.

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

Album artwork not showing in album tab

I don't know why but the album artowrk for one of my albums is not showing on my iPhone. Each individual song in the album has the artowrk, but it doesn't show up in the albums tab on the bottom of the music app. So in the albums tab where you can scroll through each album, the artowrk is missing. The album artowrk should be right next to the name of the album, but it just has that defualt musical note for stuff that doesn't have artowrk. I didn't download this album off of iTunes but I made sure the info for each song matched the info on iTunes. I get a little OCD when it comes to my music library, and I even deleted all the artwork for each song on the album, and redownloaded the artwork by right-clicking each song and clicking "Get Album Artowrk". Like I said, all the info matches the info on the iTunes store. Even when you view the album in cover flow it displays the album artowrk just fine, and when you play each individual song in the album you can see the artwork. Me being OCD about my music and all, it is just driving me crazy having that one album not have artwork while the rest of my albums do. I have never had this problem before and I just can't stand it.

Just a guess: make sure you have the album's name exactly the same, including capital letters in every song.
Also: you can select all songs from that album, right click, get info and change the album name for all songs at once, that should fix it.

IPhone4 Music album art swapping with other albums?

So my iPhone 4 has been going through some issues since the release of 4S:
Slow performance; freezing whilst receiving messages (both iMessage and standard txt); phone vibrates and makes the noise, then 30 seconds later lights up with the alert/notification on the screen.
But the strangest of all, is that randomly the music album art swaps with each other. What is clearly a male artist and his album art, randomly gets Kylie Minogues Album art? However, in iTunes, the album art is correct? I have repeatedly Sync'ed, however, don't want to "restore" the iPhone. But I feel I am fast approaching this as my final option.... :-(
Any idea's?
This might be the conspirer in me - but issues like this occur whenever Apple bring out the newer version of the iPhone... a plot to make us upgrade out of frustration?
Many thanks,
BN0079

Hi, mine's having the same issue, but only of late. I have posted a similar question on here - but judging from your's being posted in August lol - maybe I won't have any luck.
My next stop is to delete all albums and music from my iPhone4 and then BackUp. I'll restore my phone to factory settings and start again.
If that fails to solve the issue, Apple will have to issue me a new phone over the Genuis Bar in-store. :-)

When syncing Ipod to itunes some of the albums pull music from other albums and place the songs in an album that doesn't relate or of the same artist. I have reloaded the ipod twice with the same affect. Any ideas??

I appreciate any help on this..very frustrating listening to Led Zep album and another groups song is listed in the album. If I look at the album in itunes all albums look perfectly correct.

I feel your pain! I have the same exact problem. Have you gotten a solution yet?

How do I get rid of the wrong album artwork when the "get album artwork" assigns the wrong image?

My message is simply the question. Anyone know how? Thanks.

In iTunes, select the song, right click or control click and use Get Info option. In Artwork tab, select artwork and press delete,
