IPod touch album art

Have a 4th generation iPod touch. When I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.6, iTunes started acting faulty and when I synced my iPod again, it wiped out ALL of the album art. I've deleted my entire library, reinstalled iTunes and reimported all of my music and nothing is changing. I am beyond frustrated and have no idea what's going wrong.

Right Click on a song in itunes and click on get album art work. I think there is a way to do it to the whole library but i couldnt tell you how.

Ipod Touch album art problems

After I updated to the latest firmware 2.1 my album art started to lag as I scrolled through the album art. Before it was nice and smooth but whenever I scroll through the albums some albums appear to be missing but appear after I select them. At first I thought it was because i had to much music but i still noticed after all my music was deleted and only a few albums were present. How do I fix this? I tried reinstalling the firmware and restoring my itouch but nothing has changed.

I'm having a problem with this as well. I bought a 2G iPod Touch for my gf and after putting in some of the albums from my library, certain albums are not showing the correct album. For instance, as I put in Nelly Furtado's album, it would end up showing Ne-Yo's album cover. I checked in iTunes to make sure the correct album was in there which it was. Is this some kind of bug?

Ipod video album art problems

Hi i've just got a new 30Gb ipod video and synced it with a g4 powerbook. Everything worked fine until i tried to turn it on and listen to music. All songs without album art work fine but the ones with (which is about 2/3 of them) seem to be causing porblems. When i start a playlist the first track doesn't play, instead he ipod tries to load the album art. As soon as the album art appears, it skips onto the next track without playing anything at all, very frustrating! when eventually a song does start playing there is a 2 second silence after the song's started while it tries to load album art again. I thought maybe it was the art itself but songs bought from itunes with the official apple artwork appear to be worse if anything!?! anyone had any similar problems/solutions?
any help would be much apperciated

IPod Touch album artwork issues

Hi all,
I recently changed a whole album's artwork to something different. I selected all the songs under Devices>ipod Touch>Music and did a multiple edit with the new artwork. After the sync, only certain ones changed. I then went into each individual playlist and changed them (using the multiple edit again). Still, only a few are changed. I've done multiple sync's to make sure it didn't stop in the middle of the sync as well. Any ideas?

Amazon is a good source of (good quality) album artwork. Songs though, well that's illegal, If you get my drift.. Hope you've got hard copies.
Regards,
Peter.

IPod 5G Album Art. ThumbNail while playing ok. Magnified show rubblish

I have a 5G iPod 30G White. During playing the album art shows fine. But when the select button is pressed if will scroll to a bigger view of the art work. A couple of my album art work show fined. But some albums showed a "noise" image. That means a rubbish image. My iPod is in Windows format.
Any ideas any one.

yeah i had that too. Well i had it when first playing a track, then going over to photo slideshow. When ending slideshow to menu back to now playing, the art work would be noise. click to full screen artwork, it would be fine, click back to minimize in time/sec mode of track, it would be noisy again. I restored my ipod to earlier update. I think this new update caused problems.

IPod photo album art test! Please read!!

One day, while is was not paying attention, my one year old daughter was walking around with my iPod photo. So naturally I gently removed my most prized possession from her greasy grasp and analyzed it for damage. No damage was done, but I noticed something peculiar. The songs album art was being displayed in the large format and it was staying that way! I spent the next several hours trying to repeat the glitch and this is what I came up with:
Step 1:
First, select a song that has album art and play it like normal. While the song is playing, press and hold the select button first, and then press and hold the menu button. If the screen changed while you did this , then start over, otherwise proceed to Step 2.
Step 2:
While still holding down the select and menu buttons, let go of the select button and then release the menu button. Timing in this step is very crucial. You must let go of the select button first and the menu button immediately after. If you have done this correctly, the screen will either show the full screen album art, or go back to the previous menu. If your iPod is now in the previous menu just select the song you are playing and the album art should show up immediately.
In this mode, you can change songs or increase the volume without affecting the album art. If you would like to get out of this mode, just press select a few times and your iPod should return to its former self.
If you would like to display the album art and star rating, then follow the steps above, but begin in the position bar screen first. Here is what I mean:
progress bar<<large album art<<position bar<<Star rating<<progress bar
For those that are still lost, if you press the select button while a song is playing in iPod photo, the screen will change in the succession above.
I can reproduce these glitches without any problems. If this works for you, please let me know by email or by a reply to this post!

Raymond,
The key here is not how long you would hold the buttons, but the timing involved with releasing them. Some things to remember are:
The song must have album art.
You must be in the progress bar screen. (initial screen)
Press and hold the select button first, and then press and hold the menu button.
The tricky part is releasing the select and menu buttons. The select button must be released first and then the menu immediately afterwards. I mean within a tenth of a second. (Almost as if you are releasing them at the same time!)
It does not matter at all if you hold the select button for 10 seconds before pressing the menu button, just as long as you release the menu button after the select button.
Hope this helps!
Feel free to rate the initial post if this works out for you.

IPod Classic Album Art Issues

I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
Any thoughts?

What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

IPod has album art issues

I'm pretty sure this is a top problem amongst iPod users. I've been trying to find a solution, but so far no good.
My iPod has had some album artwork issues lately. This problem doesn't affect a majority of my songs, but it's a really annoying problem. Despite me adding correct covers for each song on iTunes, the artwork for certain songs don't appear like they do on iTunes. They get switched with other covers from other songs on my iPod, get switched with screenshots from my iPod videos, and sometimes don't appear at all. This is despite the fact that they appear perfectly fine on iTunes.
Case 1: Album covers get switched with other album covers. In one case, the album art used for a Jason Mraz song was the album art for an Owl City song that was also on my iPod.
Case 2: For some songs, screenshots from my iPod videos appear as album art. I've got a screenshot from a Futurama episode where my Rihanna album cover should be.
Case 3: For some songs, nothing appears at all except the standard musical note icon, despite me having added covers to these songs on iTunes.
Case 4: Likewise, for some of my videos, album art from my songs appear for icons, instead of a selected screenshot from the video, which is usually what appears. In fact, the album art that does appear is the art from songs where Case 3 applies.
This is a really irritating problem that I'd like to see get fixed. The most commonly cited solution to this problem, restoring the iPod, didn't permanently work for me. Please help!

IPod touch - album artwork

I have an iPod touch (4th gen) and an iPhone 4. Both are running iOS 5.1. I recently added new songs (with album artwork) to both devices. The album artwork displays fine on my iPhone but not the iPod. I've tried closing the iPod app and then restarting the device (this usually works). However this did not solve the problem. This problem started happing after I updated the touch to 5.1. What can I do?

Yeah. I deleted the songs in question and resynced them. Sadly, it did not work. I also tried deleting the artwork in iTunes and redownloading the artwork directly from Apple. Then I resynced them... did not work. I also deleted the songs from iTunes and reimportanted them, resynced them... did not work.

IPod library album art problems

I have this issue too, bit frustrating.

Ipod classic album art work

Hello some of my albums in the coverflow on my ipod classic are in the wrong order for example the strokes, the doves and others are at the end of the coverflow in the ipod classic. please help me?

If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try , it can often sort out wrong artwork problems:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes (Right click on the iPod icon and choose Sync from the menu)
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

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.

Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

IPod album art does not match song

Whenever I play songs on my iPod the album art is messed up. The art does not show up with the correct song and I don't know what to do. I have checked and all of the album art is correct on the computer. I don't know what is wrong with my iPod and I would like to be able to solve this problem without having to send my iPod out to Apple. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the "get album artwork" option in iTunes. You don't actually need to purchase anything from the iTunes store, just to have or create an account. Provided that the album or song for which you are looking to add artwork is available for sale in the store, iTunes will find it and add it to your library.
If you go to preferences/general in iTunes and check the box marked "automatically download missing album artwork", it will automatically add the artwork when you import a CD into iTunes.
One downside to this is that if you have an album or song misspelled in your iTunes library, it may not be found by iTunes because it will be looking for a match.
See: How to add artwork using iTunes.
If you don't have an account or don't want to create one, here are a couple of other methods.
First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.  Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.   You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.

Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.
