Album cover lost in sync

When i add album covers to my iTunes library on Windows 7 and then sync with my iPhone ( 64Go, if that matters ), covers are lost. The weirdest thing is, if i play any song i did add covers to, the cover shows in the back. But it won't show in the album tab. To make it simple, it seems like songs do have cover, but the album doesn't. ?_?
I tried :
- Using older / recent iTunes
- Restore / Update my iPhone
- Reboot computer / iPhone several times
- adding covers in the iPhone instead of the library
- changing image extension for the cover
- changing resolution
_Somehow, a cover did work on an album, and after several sync, it just disappear, but as i was saying, songs do have covers when played, but the album cover doesnt work. It's just blank.
I spend several hours on my computer / internet trying to solve this, in vain.
Need help :c

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.

Why aren't my album cover arts being synced after updating to ios5?

They display fine in the iTunes library.
It only started happening after upgrading to ios.
Any solutions?
Thanks for your time.
(iPod touch 4gen)

Just updating the discussion with the current events.
After fixing the problem and having it fixed for about a month, iTunes decided to resync all my library and deleted about a third of my albums' artwork. Even though I use manual sync, all my albums were still on my hard drive and they all had their covers correctly assigned.
This is certainly a bug on either ios5 or iTunes 10.5.1

IOS 5.1.1 my album cover art is mixed up?

After installing the latest iOS 5.1.1 in my iPhone 4S all the album cover art is mixed up when I add new albums. It seems to pick any random album cover, rather than syncing the correct one from iTunes.
How do I fix this, or is this a bug in 5.1.1 ?

After some testing with an ipad pre 5.1 and an iphone and ipad at current patch level it appears this is a problem with the latest ios update. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Since downloading the "NEW' itunes my ipod touch will not sync correctly - songs I've added to playlists on my pc and podcasts that have newly downloaded do not synk to my ipod - I want the old version back with the album cover display - help

Now running itunes version 11.0.1.12 since the update I've added songs to playlists and they won't sync - I was able to get the songs into my ipod library by downloading from the cloud but they wouldn't even sync from my pc library to my ipod - when I first downloaded this crappy update - so sorry i did - the thing wouldn't sync at all after rebooting my windows xp pc three times it says it syncs fine and goes through all the motions but it won't pull over new content at all - songs or podcasts - on top of that the new version seems to have done away with the album cover display - I just got an android phone as a gift i was going to take back I may keep it now and drawer my beloved ipod now that apple has made it obsolete

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

Lost Album Cover Art

When you download music from iTunes, you also download the album cover. I ended up wiping my hard drive a few months ago due to a virus, and had backed up all my music, but lost the album cover art. I would like to back them up, but I don't know where to look. Where are they stored in the computer?

OK in windows media player, it will pull the album art up, but it doesn't attach the art to the song, instead it hides the art in the system and attaches a series of numbers to be ID. In iTUnes tho the art is attached to the songs tags.
Now there may be some program you can find on the net that will automaticly do this for you, I have no idea but heres how to do it manually.
Now the art work will reside where the song is. Since most music is put in the "My MUsic" folder i'll focus there, but if you have songs in another folder there artwork will be in that folder with them. Open My Music folder and goto tools>folder options>view tab Now check "Show Hidden Files and Folder" then UNCHECK "Hide Protected Operating System Files" You should now see all the album art listed.

How to prevent album cover artwork from being synced to the I Phone

The album cover artwork is nice enough on the Mac but it is unweildy on the I Phone (I Phone 5 S). It spaces out the real information needed which is simply folder, playlist information. In fact, I can't shuffle music among all playlists contained in a single folder, a related problem. If necessary as a solution I could live without the album cover art anywhere in I Tunes, including on the laptop.

Thanks for responding. Even when a tune is playing and the lower left photo is toggled to "now playing," the photo on the left is different than the album cover up on top. Both are the same ONLY on the first track of the album. The album cover on the top is apparently no longer available on Amazon, CD Universe, etc., so I can't move it to the desktop and enter it as a new piece of artwork. If I am too vague about what I'm attempting to do, please call me collect at 760.471.8011.

When i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?, when i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?

A couple songs on my iPhone 4s show the wrong album cover but they play the wrong song. When i go to albums it shows the right cover but when i pick the song it will show a diffrent cover. Its like some of my song covers are switched. How do i fix this?

There are 2 things you can do, the first (and by far the easiest) is to delete all of the music off of your iPhone and then put it back on. Also you might want to check that everything is in the correct place on the iTunes library. If you downloaded any music from iTunes without using a cd and it is not in your iTunes library you can go to the iTunes Store and on the right side under "Quick Links" and select purchased. It will let you download anything you have ever purchased in iTunes.
The 2nd option is to backup your iPhone and save ALL of your apps to iTunes on your computer. Restore the iPhone and set up as a new iPhone, Don't worry all of your contacts will be in the cloud if you have it enabled. Once you set it up you can re-download all of your lost apps for free. Make sure your iTunes music is all in order and then sync the music back up.
I hope this helps!

ITunes Missing Album Cover / Artwork Search feature (future update)

Hi,
I would like to request a future iTunes search function. I know that iTunes allows you to save a Notifications report after you "Get Album Artwork" feature for missing covers or issues where it could not find Album covers. However, can you add a function where you can list all the tracks/albums where iTunes could not find the album cover within iTunes, almost similar to the view, Show Duplicate Items function. It would be great to list all the songs without covers within iTunes itself, so that one can work on fixing all the tracks with issues.
Thanks
p.s. still waiting on 2-way sync feature request, its been years now since i first requested. For example, if you create an on the fly playlist on your iOS device that iTunes imports the playlist and merges any metadata updates, instead of creating duplicate playlists, etc.

A single album cover is going on multiple albums at random.

This problem has been going on for quite a while on and off, and ready to delete that album. I downloaded Volbeat Beyond Heaven/Above **** and it keeps going to different albums. Linkin Park Hunting Party, Reel Big Fish Turn off the radio and Soundgarden Badmotorfinger just to name a few TODAY. I've tried deleting the Volbeat Album cover and syncing my iPod to reset the Album covers, I've tried deleting The non-Volbeat albums covers to rest them. and it hasn't worked. I should mention that they had the right album covers for about a half hour (not including Soundgarden). Another thing I forgot to mention is that when turn my iPod to the side, the album covers are correct, like they are on my laptop. Just my iPod doesn't have the correct cover.

iTunes cannot handle multiple references for one song file.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

After downloading the latest ujpdate from itunes it is impossible to see album songs individually, the screen is black and all that shows is the album cover.

Trying to find music to download and buy but the screen is black with no facilities to view the records on the album.
When I click on the album it plays and offers a single purchase on that song playing, but no other option to
buy the whole album. It also displays 4 pictures of the same album cover.
Have tried deleting and downloading again and pressed repair, but the same thing happens.
What do I do now please?

Hello hsielglad,
Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7. If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.

Album cover screen saver?

If I set the screen saver to album cover all I get is a black screen when the screen saver kicks on. I am streaming all of my content and not synching but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the black screen. I'm assuming that this setting should display a floating album cover art on the screen of whatever song is playing at the time the screen saver kicks on right? Anyone else having this problem?

Yes - I get the same thing. I read on another site that only album covers from synced content show up here. I tried it out and it works. Hopefully a future update allows cover art from streamed content as well....

Black album cover image?

So I just received my Ipod Nano, synching songs works well and all, but when I play a song, the little square for album cover are black for every song.
Album cover shows up in every program I listen to my mp3 in except on my nano ?!

Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
Cheers,
Patrick

HT1473 How do I get the albums Icon eg. Ed Sheeran's + album cover on iTunes? ._.

So I uploaded several CD's hoping that the CD icon ( front of album cover) would come up.. It only occured to me when I synced my ipods that it didn't do it, so I just have the plain musical note instead of the artists icon. :/ Please can someone help meh!

How are you "creating the album" on the iPhone 5?
As to PhotoStream that feature is not supported in OS X 10.6.8 - see this page for requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
