Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

  • Can I force iTunes not to embed custom album art, but store it separately?

    (I only use iTunes to manage my 16GB iPod nano 5th gen and update my mother's iPad.)
    Now as far as I am aware, when iTunes downloads album art, it stores it separately from the audio files, and thus several tracks share the same image file for their artwork. This seems economical to me, considering the space limitations that most Apple devices have.
    But if you set your custom album art, iTunes embeds it into the audio files themselves, so each has a copy of the artwork, and thus the total size of artwork increases about tenfold. Now this is okay when storing the audio files on personal computers, but is quite stupid for devices with limited storage capacities. It really depends on the size of the artwork and the bitrate your audio is encoded to, but I calculated I could put an extra 300MB of music onto my iPod if I could just somehow force iTunes to store my custom album art separately, not embed it into the audio files by default.
    Does anybody have an answer/solution to this problem, or do I have to look beyond iTunes to do this?
    Thanks!
    (Note that I do not wish to use the iTunes download artwork service, as it is quite unreliable and the artwork is of low quality.)

  • Download ipod album art but NOT into itunes

    I keep all my music on my ipod. some of it had album art when it was on my computer, which transfered fine, and I can see it on the ipod. now I would like to update all the album art on the ipod, but none of the music is on my computer. there seem to be many freeware utilities out there to update album art but they are all for itunes and not just the ipod. I will not move all the music back to my computer just to get the art; there must be a way to do this easily. I'd also like to avoid setting up an itunes store account just for the privilege. thanks!

  • 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.

  • New user of Firefox. Webpage I made not displaying correctly in Firefox but OK in Win IE. Why is this?

    Im new to Firefox. Just found out the website Im maintaining does not display correctly with Firefox but OK with Win IE. Why is this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I'm going to make a prediction here:
    The webpage will contain a lot of code written specifically to the non-standards compliant way IE works, and will also "not display correctly" in the following standards compliant browsers:
    Chrome
    Safari
    Opera
    and the solution will be to code the pages according to the standards meant to be followed so it displays correctly in all non-IE browsers, '''then''' see how it displays in IE.

    Sounds like they did not simply compose the email, but used some kind of css html to create a template.
    Email clients don't render HTML in the same way as browsers.
    i would inform the sender about how their emails appear.
    Does it look any differnt if you use other options:
    I'm assuming you are currently viewing using OriginalHTML.

  • My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name

    My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name. Can I restart everything from itunes? I know this sounds cunfunsing, (and it is) but yeah.
    Once again to try and clarify, The song(which itunes says is by artist,band,person, etc) is mixed up with another song out of my libary.
    If there's something you dont get ask me!!! thanks

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Not only do I get a messed up library, but since I've let iTunes handle my music files, they too have been shuffled around - placed in different album folders and sometimes given names of other songs... With quite a large library, the cleanup makes me feel a bit like Sisyfos pushing the rock uphill - it's a never ending story. Only positive side of this is that I get to play a lot of music quizzes while guessing who plays the song that is disguised as eg. Buddy from De La Soul, and then afterwards try to track down the real 'Buddy' as this has also found another folder to hide in...
    Shazam has come to the rescue a few times so far...
    @Apple: this is just not good enough!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • How can I quickly get the same album art for all tracks on an album without manually doing them one at a time?

    I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.

    Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
    This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1

  • While playing, Front Row does not display album art but a white image only

    When I go through my music library via Front Row, the album art is still visible, however, as soon as I play a track, the cover disappears and there's a white square instead that, as usual, changes its position from the left to the right side. Could that be due to size limitations? My album art is 2400 x 2400, approximately 4 MB each. Thanks.

    Same for me on my Mac Mini: I can see the shared pictures but can't see the ones in the local library. Funny thing is that I can see that library from my other Mac.
    Also I noticed that one picture appeared in the middle of the (empty) slideshow, only 1 of 67. In the list view, those pictures appear normally, as you can see in this screenshot http://d.pr/eiXB
    I'm a first-time iLife user, so I don't know if the issue is '11-specific.

  • 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.

  • ITunes 10.5.1 for Mac: Album artwork is there, but does not show in album overview

    I have certain self-sampled albums which have the correct artwork embedded in every track, but in the album overview the artwork does not show. However, the artwork is there, because as soon as I select the album, the artwork presents itself in the left lower corner of iTunes.
    Is there a way to rebuild the artwork thumbnauils that are presented in the album overview - similar to iPhoto?
    Thank you very much for your kind help, Stefan

    In Post iTunes 10.5.1 Album Artwork Dilemma, User cul cul la praline recommended a user with a similar problem to apply the script "Embed Artwork" from Doug's applescript page. I followed his advice, but chose the script "Re-Embed Artwork".
    Funny enough, the script resolved part of my problem. I the album overview, some albums still carry the grey note, but when I single-click them, they change to display the cover art ...

  • Album art iphone NOK album art ipod, ipod touch OK

    I have the following problem
    When using my Ipod photo, ipod nano or Ipod touch (OS 2) I have no problem with getting all album arts over to the devices from Itunes. However when using Iphone with OS 4 or 3 almost all album arts are missing. I have similar results with 2 different Iphones. When using the apple remote app on my Iphone connecting to the same Itunes library the album arts are shown in the app correctly.
    I have done a complete clean install of my apple mini but I am still having the same problems. Does anybody have any good suggestions on what might be the problem?

    I'd just simply restore the iPod, which just takes all of your songs/ videos/ pictures off, like a major reset, and puts it all back on.
    Album art was being freaky with my 2nd Gen nano once, and restoring helped.
    Dont freak about it taking all of your songs off your iPod, they will still remain on your computer & iTunes.
    It just kindof cleans things up if something like your problem comes up.
    When you plug your iPod in, and it opens in iTunes, make sure you're looking at the main iPod menu in iTunes, and click Restore iPod, under the Check For Update button.
    Hope this solves your problem!
    Oh, and let me know if restoring doesnt work, because I have another soulution that might work if Restore fails.

  • 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.      

  • Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

    I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment.  The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!! 
    I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago.  No problem in media payer  - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
    Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
    Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album.  Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.
