IPhone iPod "Artist" Menu Selection - Album Artwork

How come in the new iPod on the iPhone when I am inside the "Artist" listing for my music, it shows completely random artwork from previous/newer albums of artists I have? This was never a problem before, but its ridiculous to have different album artwork for an artist when you don't even have the album that the artwork it is showing. Apple, fix this...

OH MAN. This. I have the same gripe/problem.
I can only assume it is pulling the artwork from the iTunes database.
However, I have proper album art set for everything in my iTunes Library. What I don't want is some horrible software design decision ruining the experience of browsing & listening to my music.
Going to file this as a bug report. Not sure what on Earth the team was thinking with this "feature."
The worst part is, when instead of an artist photo, it pulls down a random cover of one of the artist's albums and uses that! This one album by this one artist that I have on my iPhone, since it does not have an artist photo, uses cover artwork from an entirely different album than what is loaded.
Argh!

  • Selective album artwork

    Just wondering if there was a way to get selected album artwork instead of everytime you do so, iTunes going through your entire library again to find the missing artwork? Kind of like the way you get selected track names from CDDB. Also, in 7.4, iTunes would automatically find artwork for a cd when online. 7.5 doesn't seem to do so for me.

    *Yeah but with the widget i just select the individual songs and get artwork*
    That's doesn't do the same with the artwork. It saves it to the actual song file, increasing the file size for every song it adds artwork to.
    *If you right click and go to get album artwork in the advanced options*
    What advanced options? I never suggested to do that.
    iTunes prefs -> General.
    Uncheck Automatically download missing artwork. But you are downloading artwork so not sure why you would uncheck this.

  • IPhone iPod "Artist" Crash

    So, I'm having this really weird problem where I uploaded new songs to my iPod and when I went to listen to them, whenever I click on the "Artists" tab on the phone, or even when I try to click the "Back" buttons to go back to the artists page, the app crashes. It even crashes when I try to go to landscape mode to access the artists. It's really bothering me as everything else on the iPod works well. All the other tabs and it even plays the music well. What should I do?!

  • Showing Artist info and Album artwork on TV through AV cable

    I just hooked up the iPod through an A/V cable to my TV and the videos / movies look great... I am trying to get some information on how I can get the artist info / album artwork to show through the same system. I am tired of looking at the iPod to tell artist / album when connected through the A/V cable.... Anyone know how this is done?

  • IPod doesn't show Album Artwork

    There are several albums in my iTunes that have the artwork in iTunes, but the artwork doesn't show up on my new nano. I read on the apple website the following instructions on how to display album artwork, however when I get to STEP 2, the only option on the music tab for my iPod is "sync music". There is no "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox. I have a 5th generation nano and there are some album artworks that DO show up on my nano...I just can't figure out how to get the rest of them...
    For iTunes 7 or later
    1. Select your iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane.
    2. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
    3. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
    4. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

    can anyone help me??

  • Why does my iphone 4s display the incorrect album artwork when a song is playing?

    When I rotate my phone, it makes no difference what song is playing at any given time,  the artwork and track list is incorrect.  For example when I rotate my phone horizontally from a song list view or a album track list view the album artwork is diplayed on the left and the track listing is on the right. Additionally the pause button is at the bottom of the album cover.  The problem is that iTunes is not diplaying the song and ablum that is currently playing.  What is the solution?
    The image below is what is diplayed when a track is playing.  How did the iPhone select this ablum to display?

    Thank you for your help but it did not solve the problem. My lyrics are working again though so that's good. Additionally iTunes has duplicated some of my albums. Some albums appear normally but those that are duplicated show the iCloud download next to it.

  • Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

    Dear,
    I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
    The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
    Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
    I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
    Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
    Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
    Regard,

  • IPod Syncing Problem for Album Artwork

    So everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch using iTunes,most of the artwork for my albums/songs changes. I've had this happen several times in the past. It seems that many albums take the artwork from one album.

    When I try to check the "Display album artwork" box and update my ipod, I get this error message:
    The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).

  • After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5 my album artwork was gone. I've tried syncing again, no change. How do I recover the artwork?

    I'd really appreciate any help that someone might have.

    I discovered that the majority (but not all) of the album art that did make the transition from ios 5 had the "album artist" field completed in the "info" box for each song/artist. I therefore made sure that the album artist field was completed for each artist. You can right click on the artist's icon in artist view and edit the album artist for every song/album stored in iTunes at one time. I then resynched and every album cover appeared where it should. This was pretty quick but when I resynched I also discovered that some songs duplicated on my iPad. I deleted all the duplicates songs (but retained the file) and then resynched.  Every album cover stayed put and it looks as it should. Now if I can just figure out how to force an artist's particular album the default view for an artist on mynipad like a can set in iTunes on my Mac.

  • My iPhone 4s has all the album artwork but when I click on artists in the music app it doesn't show any pictures for them

    It shows that all of the albums are there with artwork and it says that the artists are there but it is only showing the blank white tile with the writing on it instead of the picture for the artists.
    Can anyone fix this?

    So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!

  • Iphone 4s (6.1.3) album artwork missing

    I have this annoying problem where I purchase music from the iTunes Store via my macbook pro (10.8.3, early 2011 model, if that matters), then, in an attempt to transfer the music to my iPhone 4s (6.1.3) I sync the phone to iTunes (my iPhone is set up to sync over Wi-Fi). It syncs okay, the music is there, the artwork is also there, but then if I start listening to something else then come back to the recently purchased music the artwork has been replaced by that music note thing (additional information: if I go into the song selection submenu where it lists the album info and has a picture of the album right next to it, the artwork shows up there, but it doesn't when I'm just scrolling through my albums). I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and whether or not anyone figured something out. I figured out that if I just delete the album and re-sync it the artwork re-appears, but (as first-world problemish as it is) I would rather just not have to do that in the first place.

  • ITunes on iphone/ipod -- Artists no longer in Alphabetical Order(!)

    Help!
    I recently updated my itunes library on both my iphone and my ipad.  I used seperate itunes libraries (hosted on the same Windows computer) in order to have  a larger "master" library on my ipad since it has more memory.  I did this via using the "depress the shift key while starting itunes" trick to select the library for each device.  That all seems to have worked just fine - I got the library I wanted synced with each device.
    Unfortunately, the alphabetical order of the Artists is only "mostly" correct.  As an example, under J, I see:
    Howlin' Wolf
    Humble Pie
    David Bromberg
    J.J. Cale
    James Brown
    and the rest of the J's.  Likewise, when I look at the K's, it starts off with J's and a few other seemingly random artists, before getting into the Ks.
    How do I get the system to re-alphabetize my library???
    Help!!!

    Seems like a bug that I hope Apple can fix soon.  Does anyone from Apple scan these boards?
    Occasionally.
    But it is much safer to send feedback using the feedback form, if you want the developer team to see your feedback.

  • Is there any way to group "artists" section on iPhone by Artist name, NOT album artist?

    I add music to my iphone 5s manually, by playlists. sometimes I add music manually by dragging it to my iPhone. When I go to Music and then Artists, a lot of the names are not alphabetical because they are sorted by "Album artist". Is there a way to change it to just "Artist" so it will sort it according to JUST artist name?

    Nobody?

  • IPhone not synching all selected albums

    With the iPhone connected to the computer and the music tab selected on the iTunes/iPhone page, "Sync music" is checked and the radio button for "Selected playlists" is selected. In the window containing my playlists, several playlists are checked. If I click on "Apply," only some of the playlists are transferred to the iPhone.
    Also, if I uncheck "Sync music," I get a warning that all music will be erased from the iPhone, but that doesn't happen either.
    Any suggestions?

    Sorry Ralph, not answering your Q but I have the opposite problem. For years I happily downloaded checked playlists on to my Nano. I'm now the proud owner of an iPhone and when I check playlists and synch many, but not all albums are downloaded to my iphone too. I cannot find how to stop this.
