Incorrect Album Art in iPod (G5, 80g)

Some of the album art is incorrect on my iPod. It's OK in iTunes.
The last time this happened, I had to restore.
Is there another way?

Thanks for the reply. At least I know that other iPod owners have the same problem. For the time being, I've tuned off album art on my iPod.

  • IPod Nano (1st gen) Displays Incorrect album art.

    I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride with my nano when I realized it was showing incorrect album art for some of the songs. I have not noticed any pattern. I also have a 60gb photo that IS showing the correct album art so I'm pretty sure its just the nano (I updated them both today to check, and still same situation). I have tried restarting the iPod already. Anyone know what I should do?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    iTunes 6
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    iTunes 7
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

    My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

  • Album art on iPod Touch

    Help! I've downloaded Album art for every song on my iPod Touch - although the album art matches each song correctly in my iTunes library on my desktop, about 1/3 of the songs have the incorrect album art on my iPod. For example, a song by Chicago that has Chicago album art on my iTunes library, displays album art for Flo Rida when that Chicago song is playing on my iPod. Some songs have the correct album art, but others do not. I've tried to delete the album art, re-download it and then reload the song to my iPod, but it doesn't always work. Any suggestions?

    Fixed my problem with the artwork. I just went to amazon.com and searched for the albums where the artwork was getting mixed up on my iPod Touch. I would right click on the album artwork on amazon.com and select copy. Then I would select all the songs from that album in my iTunes and right click to get info for all the album tracks. Then just paste the album artwork. It took two syncs (for some reason), but at least now all my album artwork is right in both my iTunes library and iPod Touch. Easy to do, but time consuming. One downside, some images on amazon.com aren't the highest quality. In those cases I would do a google search of the album name and click the images tab to find the best quality images. Then use the same copy and paste technique.

  • NEED 2 GET ALBUM ART ON IPOD USINING ITUNES 7

    don't know how to update album art on ipod but
    library art is updated

    The next time you connect your iPod, and you are automatically syncing, the iPod will be updated with that information. If you are manually managing the songs on the iPod you may need to re-add them.
    In another thread when the songs were not loading the artwork, it was resolved by unchecking the album art option, and rechecking it.
    Your iPod needs to be one with a Color Display to support artwork. This includes iPod Photo, iPod w/Color Display, iPod 5G, or iPod Nano.

    My Walkman homepage shows incorrect album art on some songs:

  • No ALBUM ART on IPOD (already tried many fixes)

    I used iTunes Art Importer by YVG Software to import album art for most of my music. I can see the art in itunes/winamp/etc but not on my ipod. When i first loaded all of my songs onto my ipod it would show up for every song without problems. I then put my ipod back in its dock (connected to computer), let it charge, then disconnected. After that all the album art disspeared. I have already tried these fixes:
    -Disable album art in ipod options, disconnect, reconnect, enable
    -Uncheck all of my songs in itunes (select all, right click, uncheck)
    Now when i uncheck all of my songs on the ipod in itunes it temporarily fixes my problem and all the album art will show up again after a disconnect. As soon as i plug my ipod back into my system and open itunes the songs will be checked again. Of course, this disables my album art. It takes about 15 minutes to uncheck all of the songs again and really bogs my computer down in the meantime. I find this to be completely unacceptable for a $300 piece of equipment. Is there anyone else out there with this problem and is there any known fixes for this? Hopefully this is addressed in 1.2...
    Thank You

    Please help me.

  • Wrong Number of Songs On My iPod Shown/Incorrect Album Art

    I have two things that are wrong with my iPod Touch 4G that are bugging me and I don't know what to do about them. One thing is that the number of songs I have on my iPod is incorrect. When I go into the Settings menu > General > About it currently states that I have 55 songs when I don't, I have way less than that. Does anybody why this is happening or what can be done about it? Second of all, for some of the songs I have on my iPod, the album art is incorrect. It shows a video clip from a video I have on my iPod instead of the album art it should have. I don't know why it's like that now, it wasn't like that before, it used to have the correct abum art. Can anything be done about this?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
    I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
    running through songs on iPod
    I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both
    Please Help me, someone!!!

  • Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

    Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

    You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
    Maybe you should read the manual:

  • Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

    Hi there,
    I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
    As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
    I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
    I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
    Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
    I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
    Any ideas?

    That happens sometimes
    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.      

  • Album Art on iPod touch gone

    On my W7 PC I moved my Music foder to a different drive. From C to D using a W7 tool to do the move. Everything is perfect in my iTunes, the music plays and all the info and Album Art covers are OK.
    However, on my iPod touch, although the music is all there and plays correctly, the Cover Flow just shows the Note icon. No album art. I tried all kinds of syncing but it does not show up.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    No, the backup should only cover stuff like the data & settings related to your apps. The apps themselves and any media remain in the iTunes library. After restoring the iPod it should be possible to restore the device from the backup and have all the settings and data come back. I've done a full restore once on my iPhone and that went OK but there's always a risk that you'll have to go back to an "as new" setup. Once the device is restored the media library will be rebuilt from scratch which should repair any issues you currently have with the artwork cache.

  • Can't get album art on ipod classic since iTunes 9

    Hi there,
    I have an 80GB iPod and since iTunes 9 i've had artwork issues.
    On the first sync i did since iTunes 9 the artwork got mixed up on many songs (i.e. while playing one song it would show the album art for a different song on the ipod).
    So I re-formatted the iPod and re-synched everything to it (which took hours since I have almost all 80GB used). Now there is no artwork at all on the iPod and I can't figure out how to get it back! I see no option anywhere saying to sync album art as well as music, and I swear I saw it in a previous iTunes.
    The artwork is definitely in iTunes and definitely written into the ID3 tags of the songs so I'm not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
    Thank you!

    same experience here, looks like itunes 9 doesn't edit id3 tags for album artwork coz it has a separate cache or folders where artworks of the songs are stored. so when i play an mp3 in itunes it shows that it has an album artwork but it wont show up when i use to play the same file via wmp or winamp. as of now, the work around that i know of is to manually add the album artwork in ur ipod via itunes.

  • Album art on ipod

    Hey
    This is no biggie but today I noticed that with the album art on my ipod it shows up fine with the song, i'll double click the centre button to show a bigger picture of the album cover and it comes up as a blank box. This is really wierd coz like half of the songs in the same album will do this, but half will show, so this is really random. Does this mean its a problem with the ipod? Everything is set to have album art displaying in itunes so thats no problem...
    Laura.

    Laura,
    Have you tried resetting your iPod? This could be just a temporary glitch in the iPod that restarting would fix:
    Press and hold the Menu and Select (middle of clickwheel) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to try this several times.
