Iphone 5c wrong album cover for song

Ok so I have an iphone 5c and I have had it for about a year, all of the sudden I went on it to listen to music the other day and the album cover was different from the song. This happened to a around 48 of my 130 songs. I have all the songs and album covers, but they are switched around now. For example, say I want to listen to Summer by Calvin Harris, I clicked on the cover, and it plays Find You by Zedd instead of Summer which now has a Shakira cover. This is seriously starting to **** me off so can someone help me?

Hey there,
It sounds like you are tapping on a specific song to play, and rather than play it the device will play a totally different track. That's definately some unexpected behaviour, so lets see what we can do about that. Start by closing all the running apps on the phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would recommend backing up your phone to iTunes on your computer directly with this:

And restore it from your backup with this article to install a fresh copy of the iOS:

  • When i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?, when i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?

    A couple songs on my iPhone 4s show the wrong album cover but they play the wrong song. When i go to albums it shows the right cover but when i pick the song it will show a diffrent cover. Its like some of my song covers are switched. How do i fix this?

    There are 2 things you can do, the first (and by far the easiest) is to delete all of the music off of your iPhone and then put it back on. Also you might want to check that everything is in the correct place on the iTunes library. If you downloaded any music from iTunes without using a cd and it is not in your iTunes library you can go to the iTunes Store and on the right side under "Quick Links" and select purchased. It will let you download anything you have ever purchased in iTunes.
    The 2nd option is to backup your iPhone and save ALL of your apps to iTunes on your computer. Restore the iPhone and set up as a new iPhone, Don't worry all of your contacts will be in the cloud if you have it enabled. Once you set it up you can re-download all of your lost apps for free. Make sure your iTunes music is all in order and then sync the music back up.
    I hope this helps!

  • Album cover and song info while using visualizer

    Does anybody know of a way to make the album cover, artist, song title, and album title remain on screen while the song is playing?

    Im not for sure how to do that, but the viz itself is part of G force as stated in "About iTunes" in the help menu. They may have some info about doing this. Here is a link to the G Force web site http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/

  • Displaying Album Cover When Song Played on iPod

    I have downloaded and synched several songs. When I play the songs on my iPod, it flashes the album cover for the album the songs came from. Very nice.
    I recently copied one of my CD's into iTunes and then synched all of the songs on the CD to my iPod. When I play a song from the album, no album cover appears.
    Why not and what can I do to display an album cover when I play a song from the CE?

    Some music downloading sites have the artwork and artists/album/song name info pre-connected to the audio file through ID3 tagging. You can put the information in yourself by right-clicking the song/album (in iTunes) and clicking "Get Info". You can then edit the song name, artist, album, etc. You can also add/remove artwork, I simply search on Google images and then copy and paste it into the "Artwork" spot. You can also right click on the album and then click "Get Album Artwork", although that doesn't always work.
    Also if you go to the file in Windows Explorer you can edit the ID3 tags for album, year, artist, etc.

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • HELP - Album artwork for songs jumbled up!!!

    I took so much time getting album artwork for each of 2000 songs in iTunes expecting them to transfer to 5th Generation iPod and was soooo disappointed when they came up jumbled. I know I'm anal but I like the look!!! The videos come out OK, it's just the tunes.
    My iPod is up to date with latest software. Any others with the same problem and some possible solutions? I have completely erased all songs/videos on the iPod and done an Automatic Update from iTunes and they still come up jumbled. I have tried to pick them out one at a time and getting very frustrated.
    Thanks!

    I took so much time getting album artwork for each of
    2000 songs in iTunes expecting them to transfer to
    5th Generation iPod and was soooo disappointed when
    they came up jumbled.
    Does the album art show-up correctly for each song in the lower left-hand corner of the iTunes window on your computer? Did you drag the art to that window to add it, or did add it through the tab under Get Info?

  • Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

    Hello
    Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
    Thanks

    My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
    Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
    There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
    Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
    By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
    No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
    If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
    However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

  • IPhone displaying wrong album/song information

    I am having a problem with the information of an album on my iPhone/Itunes. The album itself is syncing but the information displayed on my iPhone is incorrect. On iTunes the 'year' column correctly states '1975' yet when I look at the exact same album on my iPhone the year displayed is 1999. There was a remaster of the said album released in 1999 but I don't understand why this is happening, anyone have any ideas?

  • [Poll] Do You Have An Album Cover For Every Song In Your Library?

    I know I do
    What about you?

    Yes! For ones not downloaded by iTunes, I have located the original art online or used a fitting graphic (for rare compilations, etc., where the actual artwork couldn't be found online). For one I have a graphic of an album on a turntable. But every album has something.

  • 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

  • ITunes is deleting my album cover art + songs -- please help!

    Hello:
    I am running Windows 7 and iTunes v. 9.2.0.61. Just recently, from Grid view, iTunes seems to be deleting cover art as well as songs. It seems to be chance when it happens, but when it does happen, it is always this way:
    - From Grid view (album thumbnails), I double click on an album thumbnail, and the album art image disappears. I CANNOT re-add the art to that particular album after that, either, even manually.
    - The album folder opens up after the double-click, and then when I double click a song to play it, it starts playing, but then I notice it has disappeared from the tracklist. I cannot select it again -- it is GONE. I checked to see if in fact the song is deleted not only from iTunes, but from my C: drive storage location, and it is GONE. DELETED for GOOD.
    What is going on here? This is very frustrating, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

    Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

  • The music on my iPhone is WRONG, plays a different song when I click another one.

    I recently plugged in my iPhone 4S to sync music with my relatively new Macbook Air. I had a song that someone had sent to me (a mix, not from iTunes) that I wanted to add to my phone. When I (safely) unconnected my phone and checked it, I found that a playlist (with only 2 songs) I had created earlier had disappeared. I then checked another playlist (3 songs),the one that had my new song in it, and when I clicked play, it played the 2 songs from the playlist that had disappeared. Now, ALL my music is mixed up. It seems like music is one song behind the cover art but even when I click on the same song three times, it plays three different songs, none of which are the one I clicked. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I tried to resync it by taking all the music off my iPhone and then readding it but the same problem occurs. I even tried adding all my music manually and nothing changes. The music on my iTunes on my Macbook is fine. All my updates are done on both devices. PLEASE HELP!! Will be going in to the apple store this weekend if I can't fix it.
    ALSO, if a song plays to the end, it stops, even though it isn't on repeat and there are songs after it. It just gets to the end and freezes and I have to manually click the arrow to go to the next song.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • IPhone uses wrong exchange account for outbound email

    I have two Exchange accounts that I need to keep separate. I cannot figure out how to get iOS to not send ALL outbound emails through one of the accounts. If I'm in Exchange account "A", I want outbound emails to go out through A... if in B, then B. This use to work fine but now all outbound email goes through account A.
    In the email, I can set the account, but regardless of the account I choose, it always goes out from account "A".
    Any thoughts on how to solve?

    Same problem here, same situation - two accounts on one iPhone. No matter which acct used for sending all outbound emails had account "A" for address. I checked all the options in settings and in the email send for choosing the correct account but all email was delivered from "A" no matter what.
    I discovered that the default "A" account was setup for SMTP but the "B" account did not have SMTP validated. It showed a password but it also showed account "A" as a secondary SMTP server.
    I took account "A" off account "B" as a secondary SMTP server. The next email sent from "B" required a password. When I opened settings, completed the password for "B" and the SMTP server validated.
    Now email sent from "A" is delivered from "A", email from "B" is delivered from "B".
    Thanks for pointing me to the solution!

  • Iphone using wrong apple id for updates

    This has been working in the past but today it is not. I have updated to iOS software 7.1 (11D167) but I don't know if that caused this problem. I only know that I have successfully installed software updates in the past but when I tried today I could not.
    I have 5 apps showing as needing updates. They are Bing Search, Lose It!, Yellow Pages and Ancestry. When I try to update all or even each one individually, it prompts me to sign in to iTunes Store and asks for the apple ID password and shows my apple id. What is showing is a very old ID and not my full email address. When I put my apple ID password in it does not recognize it.
    I then decided to try and install a new app and see if the app store would have the correct apple ID. When I selected to install the new app, it prompted me for my apple ID password and had the correct apple ID (my full email address showing). I entered my apple ID and the install proceeded successfully.
    I saw on another post that there might be old apple IDs in settings for messages, itunes store, etc. so I checked those settings and all of them have my correct full email address for the apple ID.
    What's mostly frustrating is that these apps were free to start with so why do I have to enter in a password at all for the updates?
    Does anyone know why my phone has reverted to an old apple ID for app updates only, and why now when it was working before? Is there a way I can get apple to destroy any reference to my old unused (and now unacceptable format) apple ID so that it won't pop up to haunt me again?
    Thanks for any guidance...

    Delete the apps from the phone and re-download or re-purchase them with the ID you intend to use.

  • Album artwork for songs is sometimes not there

    it changes from time to time, but the album artwork on my computer remains correct but when i sync my ipod touch it sometimes is not there or is some other image, like a screen shot from a random video or a different artwork.
    Please tell me how to fix this and if anyone else experiences this
    thanks!
