Artwork does not match iTunes artwork

After two months of no issues, I have found at least 50 songs on my iPod where the artwork does not match iTunes. What's more, the incorrect artwork is the same on all the songs affected. I have reset, deleted that offending artwork, and tried manually inputting the correct artwork, but the incorrect artwork remains. Any suggestions?

Try this (message copied from a previous thread):
unfortunately this is a annoying bug in itunes, and the only way to override this is to do this:
make sure you have all the songs you want to upload to the ipod in you library then delete all the songs from the ipod, turn on manual update click enable artwork to turn it off, click ok and let itunes delete the artwork on your ipod.
after it has done this go back to ipod options and enable auto update and enable artwork, and press ok, just let itunes update all your songs again, when it has finished eject ipod and check songs, all the songs you put artwork for should have it now, and the bad thing about this is you will have to do this every time you update the ipod, i am angry about this myself and wish itunes would sort this annoying bug out.

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for movies, TV Shows Nd some songs

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for Movies, TV Shows and some songs & Albums. Is this issue resolved? If so what was or is the fix. I have not been successful in locating that. I found posts stretching back into late 2010.

most of these items were downloaded from eihter iTunes or in the case of movies, imported into the app and then loading them to TV Series or Movies as appropriate. They were all fine until about two days ago when I did a sync. Then the artwork went haywire. I tried manualy removing and replacing the artwork in iTunes with the correct jpg's. and then re-sync. iTunes shows everything OK, but the iPad is the one with it all messed up.

Shuffle play no longer works properly and the artwork does not match after iOS5 upgrade.

When I use shuffle play, my ipod touch stops playing after one or two songs and the artwork does not match the song.

i have what sounds like the exact problem; thought it might be related to a) my recent replacement phone, or b) my recent upgrade to OS 5.0.1

My album artwork does not match the song in my playlists

After making playlists with music purchased from itunes in my music app, the art work does not match the title of the song / album. How can I fix this problem?

Hi freezerman84,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Album Artwork on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, it may be best to completely resync your iPhone with iTunes. To do so, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone:

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.

ITunes 7.3.2: ArtWork does not match Images on Cover Flow View and iPod

Hello everyone, this is my first post, thanks in advance for any and all help.
I have loaded most of my music collection onto iTunes, and authorized it to get album artwork. It has only found about 60% of my cover art (I have a lot of international discs, etc.), and of what it does find maybe 60% is correct. So I have spent a lot of time adding artwork by either scanning in cover art or cutting and pasting from the web. I go to "Get Info" and check the artwork tab all the time to make sure that only artwork that is correct or that I have added is attached to each of my song files.
However, I have noticed that there is a significant amount of my song files that, when I use cover flow view, or when I play the songs on my video iPod, the artwork that is on the artwork pane and what appears on the cover flow view don't match. Or the artwork that is in the artwork pane (and the only artwork in the get info artwork section) and what shows up on my iPod, don't match up. It is, for an OCD completist like me, rather annoying.
As an example, I have a lot of compilation albums. I have probably 13 different albums by different artists but which all have the same name of "The Ultimate Collection". There are some tracks for each album where the artwork pane and the cover flow view artwork match, but not all of the tracks.
I selected "group compilations when browsing", but that doesn't help. I selected all the tracks from the same album and clicked yes to whether it is a compilation, and that didn't work.
Does anyone have a simple, QUICK solution for making the artwork I have put in the artwork pane override or force itself on the cover flow view? Horrible phrasing I know, but thank you in advance for your help!

I had the same problem when I updated to 7.3, but I was able to fix it.
As far as I can tell, itunes 7.3 sees all music files (in your user/itunes/music folder) with the extension .mpg as quicktime movies, not mp3's and itunes won't let you add a cover to them. The problem is that songs imported as mp3's by previous versions of iTunes were all given the extension .mpg and not .mp3 (at least on my machine). I was able to fix the problem by simply changing the .mpg to .mp3 for all of my songs. As soon as I did this, the album artwork showed up again.
You have a few options for how you change the extension. You can right click on every file in your itunes library and select "Show In Finder" to change the file extension, or if you have many songs to fix (I had 793) you can download 'A Better Finder Rename' (search for it at www.versiontracker.com, it costs $20 to change more than 10 files at a time) which will make the changes automatically. If you are cheap you can always set up an automator work-flow to get the job done.
Hope this helps

Artwork does not match songs, how do I fix?

My artwork no longer matches up with ny songs. It used to, but now it all mixed up. Is there a way to fix this problem?

- Try a reset . Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then resync.
- Unsyn and then resync
- Restore from backup
Your artwork problem is not uncommon after iOS 5.

# of songs actually on iphone does not match itunes count

I have synced and re-synced my new iphone. When connected to itunes, itunes claims there are 3829 songs on the phone. I look at the phone and there are only 529. What gives. And how in all that is holy do I resolve this?

You just have to go thru the steps and do the math. How many videos does it report on the ipod, and how many videos do you have listed in iTUnes?
goto edit>preferences>ipod tab and go thru each sub tab to see how you have the ipod set to update Music,video,podcast
THeres a trick you can do in creating a "Unchecked" smart playlist for unchecked songs in iTUnes.
creat one smart playlist and match the following rule
Artist does not contain 123456
UNCHECK limit to
Check BOTH Live updating and Match only checked songs and name this smart playlist "Checked"
Create another smart playlist and match the following rule
Playlist is not checked
UNCHECK match only checked songs and limit to
CHECK Live updating

Number of Songs on iPod does not match iTunes

I am showing 2110 songs in iTunes, but only 2093 on my iPod. What would cause this? All songs are checked to sync & the sync settings are set to all songs and playlists. Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem and asked a similar question earlier today. totally toastin replied:

Iphone available space does not match itunes available space

On my iphone it shows I have 5.8 GB, but when I connect to itunes and sync, itunes shows 6.8 GB. Why would I have a delta?

If you have deleted files from your Mac in the past.....these files will usually stay on the Time Capsule for some period of time. Could be months or many months.
But, at some unknown point in time....Time Machine will delete those files from the backups to clear space. When it does that, you would think that the sparsebundle would then show more available space on the drive....but it does not do that.
Sparsebundle files are curious items......they "grow" as files are added, but they do not appear to shrink when files are deleted.
For example....The sparsebundle file might have grown to 100 GB. But Time Machine deleted 5 GB. The sparsebundle file will continue to show as 100 GB until the space that was gained when the files were deleted fills back up to 100 GB. At that point, the sparsebundle file will start to "grow" again.
This is very likely what is happening on your Time Capsule at this time.
If you have been checking your backups by going into Time Machine and everything appears to be normal, then I would not be concerned.
It is possible to "shrink" the sparsebundle file and have it display the actual space that is being used. But, you have to use Terminal commands to do this.
We can give you the commands to "compact" the sparsebundle if you want them....but unless you are an experienced Mac programmer, I would stay away. The Terminal is a very scary place.

Album artwork does not match songs!?!?

for some reason the top played songs on my ipod are on my ipod are not displaying the correct artwork on my ipod itself on my itunes the correct artwork corresponds to the song. What is makes it stranger is if i press the middle button in on my ipod to change the display, a completley different artwork is shown can anyone halp

Hi,
If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

Apple ID/password does not match ITunes Apple ID/password

I just received an Apple Touch IPOD and can purchase downloads from my computer using my Apple ID/Password that I created; BUT am not able to download anything from the actual touch IPOD (keep getting message stating my ITunes password was incorrect)Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Hi all,
I know this is an old post, but having had the exact same issue and failing to find anything of value out there, I figured I would share what I did to fix this.
On your iPhone, go to "Settings" and scroll down to the "Stores" app. Select it. Once in, the Apple ID that is shown to you will be the one that shows when you try to download new apps or update old ones. Assuming you are here because you changed your iTunes ID and the change is not reflected on your iPhone, you simply need to then "Sign Out", and sign back in again using your new ID.
Back in the AppStore in your iPhone, the new ID should now show, and all you need to do is validate your password to get going.
Hope this helps.

When I add an artwork to a song on iTunes, it is only on iTunes, I mean, When I see the song file on Finder, it does not have the artwork. What Can I do?

If I open the file on Windows or in a SmartPhone, it does not have the artwork. How can I "paste" the artwork to the song file?

Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart

After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.
