How to correct album art work on iPhone 4

On my iPhone 4 music app. I have the wrong album art work on the wrong songs

OK Gang... Since I didn't get a resolution here I decided to forego the 30 minute hold time and called Apple support. (I was just tired of seeing Prince's face on my James Taylor album!).
Here is how to resolve this issue:
In iTunes, select your phone and choose the 'Music' tab
Unselect 'Sync music' then click 'Apply' (basically sync again)
All your music should be removed from your iPhone at this point
Now select the 'Sync music' option again and sync again
Good luck

Getting correct album art work ?

I am having difficulty with getting the correct album art work.
For example today i imported the Howling Bells album, whilst importing the art work i noticed itunes had the option of 3 different album covers - the incorrect one came up by a band with Howling in their title too.
How do i correct this - as it has happend a couple of times - of their being different versions of the covers - or bringing up covers by different artists with similar names.
Thanks for any information.

I'm having this same problem... going back to what you said originally, that it gave you an option of 2 or more albums with the same name and you had to pick one. Mind you it gives you no real way of knowing which is correct or not. If you pick the wrong one then there's no way to get back to that first dialogue box and choose the other one.
Importantly, that other one may very well be correct and save us all the time of manually looking on Amazon etc. for the artwork. Besides, often other artwork's aspect ratios (Amazon, et al) don't match the iTunes aspect so your ipod will have white bars and stuff. The only alternative for me besides looking at Amazon or whatever is to delete the album from iTunes and re-rip from CD, then choose the OTHER option for which album I think it is. Dumb.

Album art work on iPhone issue

Recently I removed all the music from my iPhone 4S and stared from scratch. 99% of my Music in my iTunes has album art work and it's really helpful for me when look for a song on my phone cause I remember what the cover looks like. After a put music back on my iPhone a lot of my albums don't have there art work displayed. I have also come to notice that it only from some of my purchased song from iTunes and does it. I thought IOS6 would fix this but it didn't. Is there anyway this can be fix without restoring my phone and starting from complete scratch? It also seems to be happening on my iPod Touch (4th Gen) and my NEW iPad..
Thanks!

How does the album art work?

Hey there!
How do you associate album art with songs? is there a naming convetion that i should know about?

Hi Tudor,
You need to first scan in and add the album artwork to your iTunes library before it will be synchronized with your iPod Nano.
To do this, firstly scan in an image of the album artwork that you wish to associate with your songs in jpeg format. Then open up iTunes, search for the album, select all of the songs and drag the album artwork file into the small white box under your playlists in the left-hand corner of your screen.
If the box isn't showing you may need to enable it using the 'View' menu (I think). Sorry I'm not in front of my computer at the moment.
You can also quickly find artwork files by using
images.google.com
Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I will provide you with more detailed step-by-step instructions.

How do i turn off the feature that browses album art work in landscape view?

How do I turn off the feature that browses album art work in landscape view? My videos will not play full screen since I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.

I don't believe that feature can be turned off.
I'm not experiencing any problem with full-screen video play on IOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5.

How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

Dang You Autocorrect.
You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

How do I get album art work to download? Some do and some don't.

How do I get album art work to download? Some do and some don't.

Can you help me? I've been trying to download the art work for CD's that I downloaded from home. Thanks.

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

Album Art Work not rotating

My album Art Work is not rotating when songs are playing on my computer (WINDOWS). In other words, the album art work is there and loaded, but only the first album art work in my library shows. When the song playing changes, the album art work does not. This only happens when playing songs from my "MUSIC" Library. If I play the songs under "Purchased" this does not happen and it works fine.
Anyone has any idea how to correct this?
Thanks
Mary

Click on the title bar over the artwork that says "Selected Item" and it will change to "Now Playing"

I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

IPad doesn't display correct album art

I could really use some help here, I am at the end of my rope. I have HomeSharing on so that my iPads and iPhones will play music and movies from our iTunes library. I have an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4S, an iPad 4 and (2) iPad 2 models. Both iPhones and the iPad 4 will display the correct album art in the movies but the iPad 2's scramble up the album art. For instance on the iPad 4 shows the Aladdin album art where it says Aladdin is but on the iPad 2 (both of them) it will display random album art. So you'll be looking at a picture of Bug's Life but the line states that the movie is Aladdin. Now when you select that movie and it enters the info page where the play button is, the album art comes up correctly. It's just in the title screen or selection screen this happens. Then to add to that, the music and music videos all displays fine, the correct album art every time. For some reason, this is only happening in the movies. And again, only happening on the iPad 2's. There is no issue with the newer iPad or the iPhones. So is this a setting that is goofed? A software issue that I can't resolve? I would appreciate any input you can provide, especially if you can help me fix this!!
FYI, the iPad 2's are my daughter's so I have the PG restriction on making sure that they can't watch anything PG-13 or over. Although it won't display a PG-13 or over movie, it will display the album art (for instance it will show Hills Have Eyes instead of Aladdin although the text shows Aladdin and again, if you click on it the correct album art shows Aladdin in the info screen). I thought maybe the restrictions were the problem so I shut them off but that didn't resolve the issue.

Me Too. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this...
I can't explain it. All my songs show the correct art in iTunes but it's often mismatched on the Nano. I've noticed that selecting a problem track in iTunes, get info and clicking "ok" on the already correct art, sometimes corrects the issue (for that one track) on the Nano after the next sync.. but not always.
p.s. Other posts say "restore" is the answer. I'll try that tonight.

ITunes 11.1.5 Album Art Work Does Not Display in Vehicle

Since iTunes 11.1.5, none of my album art work displays in my vehicle (Honda Civic 2013). I'm fairly certain the fault is with iTunes, since I tried a new iPod Classic AND an iPhone 4 in my vehicle, with the same results.
Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a fix? Or do I need to wait for an iTunes update?
Last question: Apple Support seems like a ridiculously LONG, convoluted process. Is there a "bug" link where I can easily report?
Regards,
Nancy

I somehow doubt Apple would even see technical support for playing their devices in third party players as their purview and you first step would be to go to Honda for this kind of issue.
You can't delete a post but if you mark it as "solved" people will tend to skip it in the listing unless they are looking for an answer to a similar question.
