Mismatched album art unsolvable problem!

When I sync or manually add music to my Ipod touch (gen 4), the album art is wrong. An (already deleted) custom art is showed instead.
I tried to sync, uncheck, sync again, make playlists etc. Nothing seemed to work. I looked in the forems but I can't find useful discussions or solutions on this problem.

Did you
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Mismatched Album Art... Help?

    The album art on my iPod no longer matches the artist/album it belongs to. For example a song from artist x album a shows artwork for artist b album z... if you get my meaning.
    The album art in iTunes all matches the proper artist/album. I thought that deleting everything from my iPod and reloading everything from iTunes would fix the problem... but it didn't the album is still mismatched.
    Any suggestions for possible fixes?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Add Album Art - Having Problems - HELP!

    I'm having problems adding album art to my itunes library. I've already done the "advanced"--->"Get Album Art" thing but there are quite a few albums that iTunes DIDN'T find. So, I selected one that iTunes didn't find and I drug a .jpg file from a folder, into the bottm-left corner of iTunes and it associated that image with all the files I'd selected from that particular album. Great...so far.
    The problem came when I tried to do the same thing a second time, with another album. Now, the little window at the bottom left reads, "Album Art not Modifiable!" I've tried dragging images of the album cover into the space anyway, but to no avail. WHAT GIVES?
    Can someone tell me how to fix these missing album covers?
    Also, some of the albums iTunes didn't 'find' the artwork for are albums that are even sold BY iTunes! How could it not find the album art for albums I can find right there in iTunes?? I have a new iPhone and, because of the way you can surf albums and songs, it's really important that I get all the album art stuff squared-away!
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
    Thanks, in advance!

    Instead of trying to drag the art into iTunes, you
    can copy and paste it. To do this, right click on a
    song with incorrect or missing artwork. Choose "Get
    Info" from the menu that opens. Then click on the
    artwork tab--if there's wrong artwork showing, click
    on the album cover and then the delete button--now
    you'll have a blank box. (If you've already
    right-clicked and selected "copy" for the correct
    jpeg you've found)--right click in this blank box and
    choose "paste". Then click on the ok/yes/save
    button--whatever it is in the lower right corner and
    your correct artwork should show up in iTunes.
    If you want to do an entire album--hold down your
    shift key and highlight all of the songs on the
    album, right click>get info>say yes when you get the
    protest box>choose the artwork tab>right click and
    choose paste.
    Your song tags have to exactly match the way songs
    are tagged in the iTunes store to have the artwork
    download automatically. Sometimes a misplaced space
    can be the culprit. Often iTunes downloads the wrong
    artwork--so allowing iTunes to handle your album art
    is not foolproof!
    When I try to do what you suggested, I get a iTunes warning that says:
    "The Song "Song Name Here" cound not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    If I click "Yes" I get a browser window, and if I click "Cancel" I get the info page you talked about; but I can't click on the image because the "Artwork Tab" doesn't exist! I checked some other files and it turns out, that the "Artwork" tab ONLY shows up on files where there's ALREADY some artwork showing! My problem is not that the WRONG artwork is associated with the song or album, it's that there isn't ANY artwork associated with it.
    So my question is still: HOW do I associate artwork with music that doesn't show a picture, even after iTunes has searched for the appropriate one and come up with NO image at all?
    I'm wondering why iTunes can't locate the original file on some of these songs, though. The only thing I can think of is that, because I'm in the process of re-organizing my music on my computer into album folders, I may have moved a lot of files from the location where iTunes originally found them. Some songs, iTunes has no problem locating, but they seem to be the songs that are part of complete albums I've created outside iTunes and then ADDED to my "My Music" folder, where iTunes seems to find it, shortly after it's added to the folder. So, this makes me think I would be better off deleting EVERYTHING from my Library (except those songs/albums I bought from iTunes) and then RE-add ONLY the re-organized music folders- keeping all the stuff I have yet to straighten-out, completely out of iTunes until it IS organized. How do I clear my library and, then, how do I rebuild it from the music folders I choose? Do you think this would fix my problem?

  • ZEN 16 GB Album Art Question/Problem

    I've noticed that any albums with the same name will get assigned the same album art...
    I have several albums that are "Greatest Hits" from several different artists, all albums get whatever album art was pasted last...
    I know I could fix this by change the Album name to "Greatest Hits - <Artist Name>", but I should have to, shouldn't the ZEN know that these are different albums?

    I have had the same problem with my new Zen 6gb player.
    If you name the albums like this-
    Greatest Hits
    Greatest Hits2
    Greatest Hits3? etc:-
    the Zen treats them as different albums and displays artwork correctly.
    Same applies to albums called Best Of, Very Best Of,Ultimate Collection etc:-
    Hope you get the idea.
    It's a pain remembering to edit file tags before loading on the Zen but I haven't found
    any other way around this problem to date.

  • Large Album Art Display Problem

    I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
    Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

  • Album Art Sync Problem

    I purchased a Ipod Touch two weeks ago. Everything works fine except the loading of album art. I can only load 13 of the 23 album art pictures onto Ipod. They all appear in Itunes but only 13 sync to Ipod. All the music syncs no problem. I tried re-syncing, recreating Ipod and even recreated the ITunes database. Is there a limit on how many can be loaded onto Ipod? Anyone, experience similar problems?

    I was having the exACT same problem. It may have come from when I first set up my iPod, I didn't realize it was going to automatically sync with my entire library right off the bat so I canceled the sync, then said the heck to with and re-synced it. I had like six out of 80 albums which all had artwork found from iTunes. So after reading a few posts, I tried restoring my iPod and this time I'm manually syncing only the albums I want. So far, everything is working great! So I would definitely say, try a restore and resync. If that still doesn't work, try to add albums manually in chunks.

  • Fix Mismatched Album Art w/ Manual Management

    While my album art displays correctly in iTunes, it is often mismatched on my iPod.
    I saw a solution for users who ask iTunes to automatically update, but am wondering if there's a solution for those of us who manually manage music? I have a 5-gen video iPod and am running iTunes 7.
    Thanks.

    just connect your iPod and have it not display art work by unchecking and then select apply... this is going to remove all artwork...
    then unplug it... plug it back in... check the display art work option again and then select apply...

  • Still having ipod album art work problems

    My IPOD SHOWS NO ALBUM ARTWORK! I don't know why. I have the checkbox under itunes selected "display album artwork on IPOD" I contacted itunes support and they never help with anything. they are completely worthless. They directed me back here, to the forums, for help. They have no answers. I've tried nearly everthing. I've restored my ipod many times over. I've also tried deselecting that checkbox under itunes then resyncing my ipod. And its still a no go. I think that I'm missing some files on my ipod that enables my ipod to show the album artwork. Can anyone help me out?

    I had the same problem all you have to do is connect your ipod then click the options for your ipod then un tick the show album art then update your ipod, disconnect it then re connect it and click the options again then tick the album artwork box unpdate again and viola everything works smooth from then on mine has been perfect since i did it last week

  • Album art sync problems.

    My iTunes is transferring the album art, but not all of it. Also, some albums get artwork from other albums or even from other bands. Can anyone help me out?

  • Mismatched album art

    Ever since I upgraded to 2,1, some albums have the wrong artwork. Maybe this because I have included some self-refreshing Smart Playlists. (Last Played & Last Skipped are not in the last X days.) This results in an exchange of songs every time I sync, even though the playlists are the same.
    Any ideas to fix this? Anyone else have this happen to them?

    I don't think a restore would work as you'd just be putting the wrong album art back on again - Resetting the phone will remove all data and settings so the correct artwork should be sync'd from iTunes. I'd try removing the music and re-syncing first though.

  • Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

    Hi There,
    I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
    I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
    Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
    I am using itunes version 11.01
    I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
    Many thanks guys

  • The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen.  How do I fix this?

    My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod.  At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs.  Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back.  Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art.  How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data?  I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

    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/delete 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:

  • Get Album Art rant.

    I am importing my CDs to Itunes on my new computer. I have it set so it always gets album art. Problem is sometimes it asks what CD version it is, and the options it shows me are the EXCACT same description. If I pick the wrong one, Itunes says it can't find the art or it gives me the totally wrong artwork.
    Is there anyway to fix this? Why does'nt someone at Apple check this stuff.

    When you are being asked why CD version it is it is asking so that it can match the CD to the metadata in the CDDB, which is a database of track listings. For iTunes to be able to download album art the details for the songs must match what is in the iTunes Store. If the album or artist is not an exact match it will not find the album art.
    One thing you can do is to check for the album in the iTunes Store. If you can find it check to make sure the details are the same on the songs in your library. If not you will have to update the details to match before you can manually select Get Album Art from the pop-up menu when you right-click on the song(s).

  • Album Art Is Wrong - Mismatched

    The videos on my iPad (i.e. TV Shows, Music Videos, and sometimes Movies) have mismatched album artwork. For example, one of the seasons for a TV show I have on my iPad shows the artwork for a movie that I have on my iPad. It happens a lot. When I check the album art in iTunes it shows correctly. It is only messed up on the iPad. Anybody else notice this problem? Solutions? Thanks in advance.

    I have experienced this as well.  Not only did I upgrade to the new iOS 5, but I also synced my iPad to a newer computer.  Many of the icons on the music and movies/TV shows were wrong.  The only fix that I found for myself was to delete an item at a time on the iPad, sync, and then move on to the next incorrect item.
    With the individual sync, the correct pictures came up.  I think there's a glitch with batch uploading.
    Hope that helps some of you.

  • Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

    Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
    Well I am having a few problems/questions:
    ---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
    ---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
    1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
    2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
    ---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
    ---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
    ---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

    Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around
