Mixed up album art in iPhone's iPod

When viewing albums in Coverflow the album art is all correct. However whenever I flip the phone around some random album art is shown in place of the correct one.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? I am working on re-syncing my music (which takes forever by the way) to see if that fixes it.

Although this discussion is a bit old I think it's still worth answering it as google points to this page.
The only reason for the above to happen (Different cover art appearing in horizontal and vertical) I can think of is that Iphone Cover Flow is an Album Art only.
iPhone and iTunes has at least two modes to display your music in that is:
* Song mode - where tune's art is pulled from the file if any exists.
* Album mode - where album art is shared by multiple tunes with the same "ALBUM NAME".
So if many of the songs has no ALBUM NAME at all or share something like Unknown etc. It's is likely that in Cover Flow Mode (Which is Album View) those will have some strange things displayed.
On the other hand I currently have slightly different problem hence my search. My Art is mixed up especially among the podcasts. Totally... I'll try full resync.
BTW. If you got the Art in one way or another but after uploading the tunes to iPhone you don't see it it's likely that you downloaded Art only for one of them and iTunes is showing that one for all that share the album name. If you get the art from iTunes Store then Highlight all tunes that should contain the art and right-click>Get Album Artwork, otherwise Get Info and double-click on the Artwork field on the right-hand side.

Mixed up album art on Iphone 5

I have recently backed up my Iphone to my computer, this was successful and my music is now stored on my computer. The problem is that the album art is all mixed up so when I play a song it shows a picture from a completely different song which is really irritating! can this be solved?

Hi, I'm afraid this didnt work but thanks for the advice anyway

Sharing my fix for blank album art in iphone

Just wanted to share this. I have had the problem many have had where artwork displays in itunes but shows up as blank in the iphone. The fix (v 3GS) was to in itunes, select all the songs of the affected album, right click to get info. When the dialog appears, check only the art box, cut and paste the artwork in the box. Itunes then rebuilds the songs with the art, and the next sync pushes the changes to the phone.
Also found out that if you accidentally paste the wrong art onto an album in itunes (where you drag and drop the art while a song is playing), you can drop new art over it, but the old art is still displayed. Doing a get info for the song that was playing shows both art images on the art tab and you can delete the one you were trying to get rid of.
Got direction from this forum. Hope this is useful to someone....

Is there a good way to update album art directly on my ipod?

Hi, new here.
So I have an ipod nano 5th gen: 16GB.
I have ~1500 songs on it and have been facing a slew of interesting issues with my album art.
1. I prefer to add songs manually as I tend to want only some of an artist, genre, or similar, and I like the control it gives me. The problem that I've been having is that there is no efficient way to add artwork to the songs / albums on my ipod that I have ripped from CDs, and are already on my ipod. Going through all my songs and seeing if they have art would be tedious and time consuming, and the only better way to do this seems to be deleting songs off of my ipod and re-copying them. Normally, I would just delete all my songs and re-copy them all, and go do something else for half an hour or so, but there are some songs on my ipod that may not even exist on my computer anymore, and I can't get them again. Is there a better way to just synch songs with the ones in my library and update those that have had art added? (The synch button at the bottom of the ipod tab / window doesn't seem to do that.)
2. At one point, I tried manually adding artwork to albums using Wikipedia images / etc, and I know that many people like to put their own artwork for their albums. The problem I had is that adding the artwork directly to the album only updated the firts track, and the rest still had the big note on them. Is there a way to adress this and make it apply the picture to the whole album?
3. When I was finally able to update my images because they required an apple id, and I didn't have a credit card to give, the custom images on the albums stayed. Is there a way to override this? The artwork that was downloaded looks better then what I had.
I know this is a lot, but I think these questions are related enough.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Can I have more than one album art Image displayed on ipod per song?

Can someone help?
My issue is that in itunes I can add more than one image (album art) to an individual song. While it's playing, in the display album art (bottom left corner) I can flick through all the images a particular song contains. I got exicted and came to the assumption that not only can I display album art (covers) but also single art (covers) for songs that got release from an album on my ipod. However when I downloaded all the tracks on to my ipod it only displays album art and not single art (covers) for released songs. Is there a way I can have both album and single art displayed on my ipod for a song? I spent hours finding these single art covers on the internet!

On the iPod you can only display one picture attached to that song. The one that gets assigned to the song is the first picture on the list in iTunes.

Album Art not showing on iPod

This has been an annoying problem the past several years of using iTunes, I was able to get some versions of the iTunes to work but I just uploaded the new 7.5 iTunes version...and when I try to add an album art to the songs on my iPod they don't show up except on iTunes.
Is this iTunes version being screwy? Anyone else with the same problem, anyone with a solution?

I'm having the same problem, iTunes could not find the album art for several imported albums so I scanned the cover, it shows on iTunes perfectly but not on my iPod

Album art not syncing on iPod Video

Hi.
I'm new to iPods. Don't hate me.
I purchased a bunch of songs at work on my G5. That's not my "home" Mac. I copied them to my iPod in drive mode, brought them back to the "home" Mac. Added them to iTunes by drag and drop. Synced. They show up in iTunes and on my iPod, but the album art is not there. What happened?
Again, I purchased them on a different computer and loaded to my "home" Mac.
Is it at all possible for the art to show up?
Thanks!

The album art is stored in the iPod's database. This should work...

CAn't sync album art to iPhone 3GS ver3.0, why?!?!

I tried to sync songs which have album art to the iPhone 3.0 by using iTunes 9, but some can, while some can't. Anyone would like to tell me the reason? All album art I downloaded from google. Picture type are JPEG. Is it because of the resolution or something like that? Please help!!! Thanks so much!!!

Thanks^^ but some of my songs didn't appear on iTunes, since some are Korean, Japan, and Chinese songs :o( so I need to download their album cover from Google. Is it because of the picture's resolution or size?

Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6

I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs: I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable. I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone. As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone. All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back. I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?

Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone. Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

How do i sync album art from itunes to ipod

Make a playlist or lists for all of your audiobooks, then in your iPod preferences, change to sync the iPod to only those specific audiobook playlists.

How to get album art from itunes to ipod?

I've already copied songs from my itunes library to my ipod, but when I did that I didn't have any album art. Now that I've got the album art in itunes, what's the best way to get the album art over to my ipdod?
Thanks

First plugged your ipod, wait until appears on itunes, then click on music label, at the end click on the square that says" Display Album Artwork on your Ipod"...

Incorrect album art on iPhone even when I try to manually correct the album art in iTunes.

I recently replaced my iPhone 3GS with a new iPhone 4S. The album art is fine when viewed via my iMac in iTunes, but when I sync an album to my phone, it gives it a random album cover from my library instead of the correct one. I go to iTunes and manually re-upload the album art but when I sync again it's still incorrect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think I have the same problem with an iPhone 3GS running 6.0.1 and iTunes 10.7. I didn't have this problem with 6.0.0. My album artwork is fine in iTunes but when I transfer it to my iPhone, I get either the wrong album art or no album art. I've tried deleting the music from the phone and re-adding it. I rebuilt the album art cache. I reformatted all my music as an audiobook and then back to music (don't laugh - this worked for someone!). I loaded Media Monkey to see if there was something wrong with my mp3 files. My mp3 files are fine and if I load my iPhone with Media Monkey, the artwork is fine. I think the problem is that the vast majority of my music is 300 bps or better mp3 files. Even if the artwork is imbedded in the mp3 file, iTunes is doing something wacky with the album art and I can't figure out how to fix it. If it weren't for all my iTunes playlists, I would just use Media Monkey to manage my music on my iPhone.

Album art is wrong on iPod but right on iTunes

I have album art for a good amount of my music. In iTunes the it is all correctly assigned but when I use my iPod it has the wrong album art on about 70% of my music. I have tried deleting everything from the iPod and reloading it. It kind of worked but everytime I buy new music and assigned ablumn art it messes it up. Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
