IPod album artwork - scrambled; how to fix?

The album artwork on my iPod is all scrambled up (but it is perfectly fine on my computer). Some albums have the artwork from another album, some have a black square, some have a white square, and some have four small albums patched together in one giant square. What gives? Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

you could try restoring your ipod from itunes but make sure your music, apps, ect are backed up on the computer first

    ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

    Connect it to itunes, and see if itunes recoginizes it.
    If not, then hold home and the power button to do a soft reset.
    If not, then you will need to go into recovery mode.
    To get into recovery mode you need to Hold Power + Home at the same time. After it goes blank, continue holding the home button while releasing your finger from the Power Button.
    You should be able to do it. Otherwise, you may need to send your Ipod in for repair.
    NOTE - Using recovery on your Ipod will erase all data and reset all settings.

  • My ablum artwork is in my Itunes Library but won't transfer to my Ipod. Anyone know how to fix it?

    I've tried uploading album artwork ( from the advanced button) and it still won't transfer.

    Hello firelight789,
    I would try restoring the Nano to factory settings via iTunes. This will clear your iPod's artwork cache and rebuild it. Here are instructions on how to restore your Nano.

  • CD to iPod album artwork?

    Hi - this is my first time posting. I have a 5G iPod - the 30GB one. I have downloaded about 50 songs from iTunes and I like how it shows the album artwork on my iPod when I am playing it. I also downloaded a lot of music from CDs (like 1000 songs) when I first got the iPod a few months ago - but the album artwork for these does not display. I just tried (a few minutes ago while my iPod is charging attached to the computer) dragging them into that dotted line box in iTunes, but it didn't work. Is there anyway to get album artwork from CDs to display on your iPod - or does it just work for downloaded music from iTunes? Thanks so much for your help!

    Thank you SO much - I will give that a shot - don't have time right now, but will try later tonight. I'll let you know how it goes! Thank you! I have my iPod set to manually download changes (since my husband puts some things in our Library that I don't want on my iPod) - will I have to manually re-download all the songs (after adding the album artwork in the Library) onto my iPod or will it automatically download that change? I don't want to end up with duplicated songs so I hesitate to redownload the songs, so I am hoping it will just update that change. Sorry for all the questions before I've even tried what you suggested - I really appreciate the help though!

  • My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. I ran the troubleshooter and followed all of the steps to fix it....itunes still does not recognize my ipod.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    My ipod is recognized in windows but not in itunes. It shows up in devices and gives me the ok to eject prompt, so I know that the connection is good. I ran the troubleshooter and did all the recommended fixes.  Hours and hours later, I still have the same problem. I uninstalled itunes and all its folders, restarted the apple device services and changed the drive letter. Checked my security settings and everything else I can think of. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Did you remove all Apple related software including QuickTime, Safari, Software Update utility for Windows, etc using the exact instructions in this Apple support document?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port and not a USB or similar?  Have you tried different cables to help rule out a faulty or damaged cable? 
    Does it connect to iTunes okay on another PC or Mac?

  • In iTunes I can't see my iPod album artwork...

    I bought the new iPod nano two months ago, and it has always had this problem with my iTunes. I have selected the option for displaying album artwork in the bottom left corner, but even though I actually have album artwork assigned to songs (it is displayed on the actual iPod) it doesn't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know why this is or what I can do?

    In iTunes in the bottom left corner of the program there are four buttons - "Create a Playlist", "Turn shuffle on or off", "Play playlist once, repeat playlist or repeat item" and next to those three (the far right) is a little icon that resembles an arrowhead in a box. If you click on that the artwork viewer will pop up, and you can either set it up so that it shows only the artwork of the song you are listening to, or the artwork of the song highlighted.

  • IPhone 4's iPod Album Artwork Mixed Up

    So, in my iTunes, all albums have the proper album artwork. It's always been like that. Now, with my iPhone 4 I've never had any issues until recently. After syncing all the music to my iPhone 4, everything seems alright at first. While scrolling through the albums, I see all the matching artwork, but when I play a song, the artwork changes to that of a different album. It happens with all music on my iPhone 4.
    So in other words, only while playing a song/album, the wrong artwork is showing. Not a huge deal whatsoever but it would be nice to have this fixed.
    Also, this doesn't happen all the time. It just happens whenever the phone feels like doing so.

    If it is the same albums doing it, you could try unsynching then resynching those albums. That has fixed the problem for me in the past. Admittedly it's a bit problematic if it is totally random.

  • IPod Album Art Scrambled for Many Songs

    For some odd reason, when I recently connected my iPod to iTunes -- I have the latest software versions for the iPod and iTunes -- I noticed that many of the songs are displaying album art for the wrong albums. For example, all the songs from one of my Aerosmith albums is displaying the artwork for one of my J.S. Bach albums. Not the same thing!
    Has anyone run into a similar problem? Does anyone have a solution?
    Regards,
    Keith
    P.S. For the record, the album art displays correctly in iTunes; it's wrong only on the iPod.

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    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.

  • Iphone Album artwork scrambled, ok in itunes

    The artwork on my iphone 3G recently became scrambled. It shows entirely different photos for albums that were ok before that. On itunes the artwork is ok, but no about of resetting or resynching is helping.
    Any advice?

    Hi,
    I was having this problem on both my iPod Touch and brand new iPhone 4G. Specifically, a few albums showed the incorrect artwork, but many showed no artwork at all for individual songs, even though when the album list was displayed the correct artwork thumbnail appeared.
    This advise TOTALLY RESOLVED the problem for me. This had stumped Apple phone tech support and the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. Thanks a million!

  • IPod Album Artwork

    In the song info tab when I add artwork, it displays on the iPod and in iTunes, but it doesn't display in the artwork tab for me to delete it... Here's a screen shot:
    http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x209/linxsay/iPodIssue.jpg
    As you can see, the song is playing and the artwork is being displayed, but it's not showing in the info tab.
    It hasn't always done this and it is like this for every single song in iTunes. It doesn't matter if I put the artwork on there manually or automatically from the iTunes store.
    Any suggestions?

    click on the space where it should be and then press delete and see what happends

  • IPod is disabled.  How to fix?

    iPod 5tg generation reads 'ipod is disabled'.  Followed online instructions but to no avail.  Any other remedies available?

    Disabled

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • SCRATCHED MY IPOD VIDEO SCREEN..HOW TO FIX?!

    I've just purchased a 30gb ipod video, along with a skin. While i was putting on the skin, it roughly damaged the screen and scratched it. I am very dissapointed for the screen is suppose to prevent scratches, but while putting it on. It actually created a big scratch and smudges on it. And it is quite unbearable to watch videos with it. Does anyone know how to remove, or if the apple warranty covers it?

    I have had success removing scratches with Brasso and a cotton ball. It takes a bit of effort. Wait until the Brasso dries then wipe it off with a face cloth, then buff with a microfine cloth.
