Cover Art All Screwed Up

I recently had to restore my Ipod classic as it was not sending play counts back to Itunes... that problem is now fixed, but I have another. Much of the cover art is now missing when I play tracks on my Ipod, and what there is is now all jumbled up. (By which I mean.. the art is for tracks I do have, but they are all assigned to the wrong artists.)
I have synched 8000+ tracks - all in mp3 format with the correct cover art embedded in the original files.
So, my question is, can I force Itunes / my Ipod to recheck the artwork either from the mp3 files themselves (ideally, as I know they are correct)or failing thta, from Apples database. i don't really want to restore again if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Hello, I am trying to use a photo,that I've opened up in pages on a blank landscape, taken from my camera roll and use it as album cover art. All the custom text's will not paste when I copy.  Pic and texts are saved as a PDF, how can I paste the doc ?

  • On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

    On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • I click on one song and another one starts playing.  Cover art for one artist shows up on another album.  All of my music isn't showing up.  Please help.  Why is this happening?  How can I fix it?

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • I updated to 1.0.2 and all my album cover art disappeared

    i've tried several times now to reset it by telling it not to show cover art, syncing, then telling it to show it and syncing again. however, unlike in the past (with 1.0.1) it hasn't worked. I'd reset the whole thing, but it took me about a week to get my 90gb collection into my ipod with my beat up old laptop, and I can't be sure it'll make it through that again.

    It is not supposed to swtich off when you close the cover. It is supposed to go to sleep. Check Settings>General>Lock/Unlock>On. If the iPad is already set up that way, try resetting the device and see if that fixes it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Same cover art on all albums!

    Hi I have some albums on my iPhone. In iTunes the albums show different cover arts, however in my iPhone all albums got the same cover art from one of the other albums
    How can I get the cover arts working as they should? Everything worked just fine till I added two new albums yesterday

    Somehow the database has become corrupted. This can happen when unplugging the phone while it is still syncing or being accessed by your computer.
    You will have to remove all music from the phone and the resync it once more. That's the only way to fix the artwork.
    I've had to do this a few times on my iPod Classic and the only way to fix it was to remove the music then resync.

  • What happened to my cover art? It's all still in my iTunes library, but some of it missing on my iPod Touch, and appears instead as a white square with a gray music note or a black square. Please help me out.

    Plus, some of the cover art is mixed up and some of the covers have even been replaced with combinations of multiple albums. And every once in a while, a song will play on its own, without me pressing play, and it skips as if I'm holding the forward button. This iPod is only a few months old so I'm really worried! This just started today after I had it plugged into my computer and synced it. It might have been caused by a tree that fell and knocked out the power in our area while the iPod was plugged in. Can someone please tell me how to fix it? Would taking it into an Apple store help?

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • REMOTE app on iPhone does not display Cover Art

    I use the Apple REMOTE App on my iPhone to control my iTunes music library on a Mac. The REMOTE App controls the iTunes playback properly. However, the Cover Art for each song does not display on the "song" screen - showing the song currently playing. Across my iPhone screen (where the Cover Art should appear) are the words containing album of the song). The name of the song and album correctly appear at the top of the screen.
    What is interesting is that when I hit the back arrow (left side top on song screen), all of the Cover Art appears in small thumbnails. The Cover Art also appears in other displays (for example, the currently-playing Album) using REMOTE on my iPhone. This means that the cover art is being transmitted to my iPhone - HOWEVER IT DOES NOT DISPLAY ON THE SONG SCREEN.
    Can anyone kindly help me resolve this - because I would really like the Cover Art to display properly on the song screen.  Thank you.  Dale

    Nezmo, This is really unbelievable.  I have suffered from the issue I described for SEVERAL YEARS.  Today, for some reason I decided to make this post on the Apple discussion board.  And, today the issue was fixed by Apple.  I just downloaded the update to the REMOTE app and the cover art now shows beautifully on my iPhone 6 plus.  Thanks.  Dale

  • I am a PC user using 3 PCs w/ iTunes Match. 2 of my PCs sync fine, but my new PC (used to remove duplicates, cover art, update playlists) does not sync with Match. Whats the problem?

    So, to begin I own 3 PCs and the latest iPad/iPhone running iTunes on all 3 PCs. For simplicity, I will refer to the PCs as old, laptop, and new.
    My laptop was my primary PC which i used to set up iTunes match. The old PC had all of my music files which have appeared to have been uploaded to Match. Note that I had already transferred most (if not all) of the music to my laptop but I enabled match so that I could download new files to my old PC. Note that I did quite a bit of cleaning, retagging, and ordering files and that I was told by Apple that Match would recognize duplicates, and as such, would not upload these files to the cloud in Match (this does not appear to be the case, however). My laptop PC (originally set up on Match) indicates there are alot of files in the clould (Match) to download. These seem to be duplicate files which were already cleaned on the Laptop and were uploaded on the old PC machine. Thus, it appears that Apples matching alogorythm is not strong enough to detect minor differences (i.e. cover art) in files and decides to upload them anyway (quite annonying if you ask me). 
    Now, to my problem; I purchased a new PC and have been removing the last duplicate songs, updating cover-art, playlists, among other things. My new PC (which I will refer to as "new") is not recognized by iTunes Match. I have tried uninstalling each app associated with iTunes, starting fresh with a new playlist and library to no avail.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Apple Care does not seem to have much knowledge about Match, which is a bit frustrating. All I wish to do is tell Match that my New PC should be the primary PC which will be used to deliver playlists, music, etc since the other 2 machines have many duplicates and the playlists have errors within them. I thought about these solutions (none of which are no appealing) 1) using the laptop as my primary iTunes Match PC since this was the PC Match was created on (this would require rebuilding playlists and removing a massive amount of duplicates, again), 2) creating a new iTunes Match account based on my New PC (basically starting over), 3) forgetting Match all together and going back to the old school store & sync.
    Anyone have better ideas or experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx!

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • Urgh...wrong album cover art...how do I take it off

    I have?a Zen Vision M, 30gb, and I have a problem removing unwanted cover art. I suppose it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things...the songs play, and they're where their supposed to be. But I find this HELLA annoying
    !!! Since I've transferred a great deal of my CD collection into it, I like to organize things (and search) by album. But since I also have a lot of random songs that I have downloaded from various places, and I don't want a whole bunch of incomplete "albums" to search through, I filed them into an "album" tagged "Miscellaneous."? So last night I'm?making new tags and reorganizing some files, and when I unplug my Zen from the computer, I go into my "Miscellaneous" and see that?ALL the songs now have the cover art?from ONE of the songs in that folder. What's even stranger is that that specific?cover art doesn't even show in Windows Media Player, so I have NO idea how it became attached with all my miscellaneous songs. To top it off, I transferred some CD's into my Zen who's cover art DID show, but it doesn't come up in my Zen. To that I say "whatever"... I'd like to have the cover art, but I can li've without it. But to have the WRONG cover art for?A LOT of my songs just makes me?incredibly aggrevated!? So what can I do to remove the unwanted cover art?
    Oh, and I should point out that I got my Zen when it'sfirst came out, so I have like the oldest MediaSource Organizer that doesn't support cover art.

    I don't own a Vision M, but I know how my other players from Creative work. They use the ID3 tags in each track for artist, album art, etc. I use media monkey to tag all the tracks on my computer before I transfer them to the player. Here's the bad news. In my experience, you will have to remove the tracks from the player and throw them back on once they are tagged properly. I know of no way to change the tags on the players themselves. Eric

  • Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

    So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
    I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
    must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them. 
    I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

    Hi haydnan
    It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
    If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
    In Windows Explorer
    1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
    2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
    3. Now click “advanced”.
    4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
    5.Click ”OK”.
    6.Click”Apply”.
    7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
    Now go to your music library and see if it works.

  • How to see cover art while browsing playlists?

    Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
    I can't only see the art cover when I select a song, but not before. It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
    I'm using iTunes v4.7.1
    Thanks in advance!

    Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
    Yes, when you have a song selected.
    I can't only see the art cover when I select a song
    You mean you CAN only see it when a song is selected?
    It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
    This feature was introduced in iTunes 7.
    You can view all the artwork with the songs.

  • No cover art when importing CD to music library...

    I travel alot and have a vast CD colllection. That's why I bought my iPod. It's a convenient way to take my music with me on planes, trains, and where ever. While I am very happy with that decision, one of my disappointments that when iTunes downloads CD information from the internet, it does not download cover art.
    I own the CDs and use the music for personal use, so I don't see this as a copyright issue. If I rip the same CD using Widows Media Center, or almost any other software, the downloaded information includes the album cover. Why the hestitency with Apple's iTunes? All I want to see is a picture of the album cover next to the name of the tune that is playing.

    Hello Anna,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There could a couple of different things happening here. First of all, are you having iTunes automatically retrieve album information from its database and filling in these details automatically, or are you entering the album information in by hand?
    If you are entering this information in by hand make sure the Album name is the same throughout each track. To make sure, highlight all the tracks in the album at once by holding down the CTRL key. Then right->click on them and choose "Get Info" from the menu. From there, head over to the Info tab and re-enter the album name.
    If that is not the case, is this album a compilation, meaning that it has tracks with various other artists as well? If so, its probably marked as part of a compilation in iTunes and you can remove the tick mark next to this option from the Info tab as well.
    For now we'll start there.
    Hope this helps.
    B-rock
