Cover art incorrect or missing following restore

Hello. My ipod died. I had to restore it. Whilst syncing after the restore, I got an error message window 'Attempting to copy to the disk "Js Ipod" failed. An unknown error occurred (-53).' I kept pressing sync until the sync completed.
All songs now re-synced, BUT the cover flow art (which is correct in iTunes) is either missing on the ipod (I can see that multi-coloured TV-fuzz square) OR bizarrely, the early alphabet artist cover work has somehow picked up images from an enhanced-with-images podcast instead of the correct cover art. The podcast cover art is also all incorrect.
I have tried getting all of the artwork off the internet again in iTunes. I have tried re-syncing. I have rebooted computer and tried re-syncing, but with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas please? Thanks!

Try unchecking the box that says Display Alblum Artwork and then click apply, then check it again and click apply once more. If all else fails restore your ipod and load all the music back onto it and the artwork will come with it.

The latest iTunes version is 11.3.1. If you have iTunes 12 beta, you will need to ask your question in the Developers Community.

ITunes 10.6 Cover Art for Movies Missing and Wont Redownload

After the upgrade to 10.6 all my cover art disappeared on my movies. When I right click and ask it to redownload nothing happens

I have just encountered this problem as well. When I clicked get info on the 30+ movies that my artwork disappeared on only about 7 repopulated. I then quit itunes and restarted my computer and the rest of the movies are still blank. All the info is in the get info section including the artwork but it will not show up in my library.
Any new ideas on this subject?

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.

The cover art is missing on my playlists songs, but not for songs in the cloud on my iphone 5s

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, not 8.0.2 (still haven't done that update), the artwork on my music is missing for any songs that are on my phone and in my playlists. My music that is stored in the cloud still has its cover art. All of the songs still play, but I really want the artwork back.

I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like' and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
a) Name -
b) Artist -
c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
b) Artist - Daniel Powter
c) Album - Bad Day
Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

Metadata issues - wrong cover art, missing ratings etc

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 4S and upon setting up Home Sharing, I noticed that when I connect to my shared library albums and movies are displayed with incorrect cover art. In addition, the watched / unwatched status (the blue dot) for movies is wrong.
When playing music tracks, no ratings are displayed on the iPhone.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and do you know of a fix?

I am also having this issue, please fix this Apple, it all worked so well before the iOS5 update.
Ive tried fresh installs and restores yet home share video artwork is all messed up, and it seems completely random every time.The artwork shows fine when files are loaded locally onto my iPod touch 4G its only in Home Share that its wrong all the time and so annoying.

Missing cover art in album section

My problem is pretty basic. My cover art for some of the albums I've uploaded do not appear when I click on the albums section. They also don't appear when I click on the artist and then pick an album. When a song plays the alblum cover art appears. I've tried clearing it and then placing the cover art back on but it does not change. What can I do to resolve this?

This seems to be a bug in the 3.1.x OS. When I updated to 3.1.1 I noticed the same thing where only some of the small artwork icons for albums are missing in the Album or Artist menus. No problem with Now Playing or Coverflow, just the small icons. The problem persists with the 3.1.2 release.
I've removed and re-loaded affected albums and still have the problem. I've even gone as far as resetting and restoring my 2G Touch (for other reasons) and still have the problem, so I believe this is a firmware bug (so nothing you can do).

Podcast cover art missing after IOS5 update

I updated to IOS5 yesterday. All went well except almost all my podcast cover art is missing. The cover art for all my music is fine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

I had the same problem. Resolved it with the following sequence:
- SYNC'ed with iTunes using USB cable (Windows).
- Selected my iPhone in the DEVICES list.
- Clicked the Podcasts menu item for that device.
- Changed the Sync options to Automatically include "all unplayed" episodes of "selected podcasts" (it was set to "all podasts".
- Unchecked the podcast with missing cover art and clicked Apply. This removed the podcast from my device.
- Checked the podcast with missing cover art and clicked Apply. This put the podcast back on my device.
And now the podcast has cover art.

Missing cover art from iTunes on iPhone

Some of the albums on my iPhone (bought via iTunes) are missing their cover art. On my iMac all the albums in iTunes have their cover art. When I sync the iPhone on my iMac, the cover art doesn't update on the iPhone! The iPhone iTunes cover art used to be there, some of them were even bought from iTunes while on the iPhone.
Can anyone please please let me know how I can update all the cover art for albums on my iPhone?

Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad. The movies runs fine and cover art is visible. Great. However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing. The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini. Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

Is your album cover issue resolved?
If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

Select the song and open the "Get Info" window (Cmd + I or File > Get Info). Select the artwork tab. Select the artwork and click the "Delete" button. Use the "Add" button to select the replacement art or just drag it into the window. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Media Sync Misses Some Cover Art

I have Cover Art for all of my songs in iTunes, yet Media Sync only brings over some of them. I have ample space on the media card. Is there something I need to verify or change in iTunes so the missing ones get transferred?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

on an audio file, the cover art is stored within the id3tags of the music file.
there are some formats for id3tags. For the old format (ID3v2), the cover art is stored in a field called PIC. the v2 format has deprecated and replaced by a newer one.
in the new format, the cover art is stored in a field called APIC which is better (mainly because you can store PNG). Unfortunately, Apple iTunes uses the deprecated format.
what you can do is use another music file management software to add the correct APIC field. You can use tag&rename (there's a free full trial) or Songbird (free forever). When the APIC field is stored, the magic is that iTunes can read it too.

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.
~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information
