Album Artwork won't display correctly.

I've been having this issue for a few months now. My music doesn't have the right cover art on my Ipod touch 4 (running 6.1.6) but it displays correctly on iTunes 11.1.4 for PC. What happens is cover art for other music that i own will be on albums that don't match the artwork. I've tried clearing and redownloading the artwork, reinstalling (the same version) iTunes, deleting my entire library and starting from scratch, and restoring backups of my ipod but to no avail. Is this fixed with iTunes 11.1.5 or am i stuck like this?

i am having the exact same issue right now
on the music list (also in itunes) it'll display the correct album artwork but when i play the song it'll display a different artwork rather than the original :/
i want to find a way to fix it since it's bothering me a bit

Some album artwork won't display on iPad

Hi guys,
Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
Any ideas?

in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
What's going on, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance..

Album artwork won't display on iPod?

I have been struggling with this problem for awhile now -- any help would be appreciated!
When I have my iPod plugged into my computer, I can see all of the album artwork that is set for my music on my iPod through iTunes. However, when my iPod is playing on its own, none of the album artwork will display. I have "display album artwork" set in the options. I have tried unchecking this option, ejecting the iPod from the computer, reconnecting the iPod, then rechecking the option, but this hasn't worked. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I believe this may have to do with how you are assigning the artwork to the albums. It seems like you have to assign the album art to every song in the album in order for it to show correctly on your ipod. For example, if you have a song playing in iTunes and you paste the artwork in the "paste artwork here" in the lower left corner; that is only updating the current song (even if you select multiple).
I have found the easiest thing to do is as follows (windows):
Highlight all the songs in an album. Right click-->Get Album Artwork. Pray that works. If iTunes can't find the artwork then plan B:
1) go to Amazon.com or or google images and find an image and the copy (just right click-->copy).
2) select all songs for an album-->right-click-->Get Info-->Check "Artwork", right-click-->paste

My album artwork will not display correctly on my iPod Touch

I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. Recently, I've noticed that a lot of my album artwork is displaying incorrectly in coverflow, and sometimes not at all. I can not figure out why this is happening, as the artwork displays fine in iTunes, and actually shows up in coverflow on the iPod occasionally. However, when I turn my iPod to portrait orientation, they disappear, turn upside down and perform various other acrobatic stunts.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

How are you adding the artwork to the songs?
You should try adding the artwork to the songs in iTunes first, not directly to the songs on the iPod (through iTunes).
If you add artwork directly to the iPod, the artwork is sometimes not displayed when playing songs.

Album artwork won't display on my Nano

I tired everything, enabling the "display album artwork" from itunes. changing the size of the images, renaming them, etc.. but nothing worked! Any advise?

I posted in a similar thread about a problem I noticed. If you sync your songs without having "display album artwork" selected and then later select it, the artwork does not get moved over. I had to remove the songs and reload them to get the artwork displayed. Hope this helps!

Album artwork won't display on ipod! help!

my album artwork shows up on my itunes library, but doesn't show up on my ipod. what am i doing wrong?

So you're saying you no longer have your music library in iTunes? That's pretty risky behavior. At some point, most folks end up having to Restore the iPod, which erases it. If you don't have your music in iTunes, you'll have to rip it all over again. And you'll lose anything you've purchased from the iTunes store.
And enabling "Show Album Artwork on iPod" isn't going to do any good if you no longer have your music (and artwork) in iTunes to resync with the iPod.

My album artwork is not displaying correctly, what should I do to fix it? And yes it's correct in my iTunes library.

Please help, it's starting to get annoying, also the problem only starts after I restarted my iPod Touch.

I had the same problem with my 4th generation iPod Touch. A "restore" did the trick and set everything right. It took about an hour. I have 14GB of music -- 3,000 songs plus or minus.

The album artowrk won't display on my iPod.

To put it basically, the album artwork does not display on my iPod any more. It is shown in iTunes, and when I right-click on a song and look at its "info" It shows the artwork.
I have tried deleting all of the songs and re-adding them from their original files, but nothing happens. What can I do?
All songs have been purchased from iTunes.

Well you should be able to do this with the newest iTunes, I have no trouble doing this.
I just copy/paste an image into the artwork box. This doesn't work for you?
Doing this didn't didn't work in iTunes 7, but does in iTunes 7.0.1.

The album artwork wouldn't display on my iPod touch 5th gen

Some of the album artwork doesn't display when I synced my iPod.

If not this:

If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Some album artwork no longer displays

I recently started having a problem where some of my album artwork will not display on my Ipod. It does show on Itunes. Some are Itunes purchases and some not. I tried deselecting artwork and resyncing, then selecting it and resyncing again with no luck.

I removed all music from my ipod, then synced it back on, all 15 gig worth. That got artwork back, but some songs are showing artwork from different albums.

ITunes U artwork won't display in iPhone

_Short version:_
This is the issue...this is how my iTunes U list displays in my phone:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/25438b106212904
But audiobooks display normal...
http://www.imagebam.com/image/85e882106212891
Obviously, the iTunes U list should display like the audiobooks list.
_Long version:_
This is a really annoying issue and I have tried a lot of fixes. Basically everything works normal in every other circumstance, but when I view my itunes U list in the iPhone, every single thumbnail that is supposed to display next to the album/course name appears instead as the default blank music note.
Artwork images display fine when I'm viewing the list of music albums, audiobooks and anything else. I have assigned an image to every individual episode of iTunes U content...and when that specific episode is playing, the artwork is shown like normal. So the ID3 tag is there...and even the phone can recognize the image...
It's only when viewing the list of iTunes U courses that the artwork doesn't display (and frankly this is the most important, as it helps identify which course/lesson I'm about to choose).
Attempted solutions:
I have tried everything I can think of. I read that some MP3 audio files, "have known issues displaying track Artwork information" and that Apple recommends either converting the files to MP3 files tagged as ID3 version 2.4 or converting the files to the AAC file type format (.m4a). I tried both of those things.
I removed all iTunes U content from my phone, used iTunes ver 10.0.1.22 to convert the ID3 tag of one episode in one course, and to convert one episode from another course from mp3 to m4a. I deleted the images tied to those, and then reassigned new images. I then synced the phone...same story.
I tried using smaller images. I tried using different image formats (jpg, png).
The only thing that (kind of) worked is downloading directly from the iphone in the itunes app. The weird part there is though, the thumbnail image that displays is actually a completely different image from what is on the ID tag...when I sync the phone with itunes on the computer and the episode that was downloaded straight to the phone shows up on the computer...the image is completely different. And if I sync the phone again...the iTunes U list in the phone is devoid of artwork again.
ANY NEW IDEAS?

I'm having a similar problem. I'm not creating the podcasts, but I am trying to view one that has chapter artwork. The podcast is "gdgt weekly" which you can download through the iTunes store.
The chapter artwork displays just fine on my iPhone, but won't display in iTunes 9, yet I can click on the Chapters menu and see small thumbnails of the chapter artwork.
How do I get the chapter artwork to display in the main window during playback of the podcast.

Album Cover won't display properly

I just purchased a TV Season of a show, and every episode downloaded properly, but the Album Art cover does not display correctly. I really hope I don't have to delete, and purchase this season again. Has this happened to anyone else? How is there a way to fix it?

I have a 9 GB iPOD touch and this very thing happen to me. I can see the artwork via iTUNES but some of the artwork would not transfer to the iPOD. When looking at the album covers on the iPOD you'd just get a blank area where the album artwork would be.
I was unable to find any place inside of iTUNES or on my iPOD that would allow me to select or deselect artwork artwork as has been stated above.
My solution was to do a restore to factory settings. After I did this and did not use the back up... that may have been messed up too... All my artwork was there and the iPOD seems to be acting much better... it was sluggish after I updated to 2.x
Anyway if anyone is having issues and you have not resolved it try doing the restore as if it was a new iPOD.

ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'

The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?

Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?

PDF won't display correctly after being sent from iPad/iPhone

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me, we have a PDF come in to one of our users outlook accounts, it opens fine on the computer. However, he has then proceeded to forward this to a colleague through his iPad and when the colleague opens it on their computer, it gives an error message 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. From here the PDF doesn't display correctly, whereby it only shows when scrolled halfway down the page, when you scroll back up all information dissapears as though it were a blank page.
FYI the software we are using to open the PDF is Adobe Reader, which we updates to the latest version to test for this issue. In short, when opened on the local computer it works fine, but as soon as it is forwarded from an iPad it won't open properly (the document opens fine on the ipad before it is sent). I have also tested this through my iPhone and i get the same issue.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Any chance that a Microsoft Exchange Server is in the mix? Could depend on what version of exchange is used.
You will need to try a work-around. Apple seems slow on fixing this issue.
