Mixed up album art?

After I synced two of my albums are having issues. The art is art from other songs I have on my iPod. When I am viewing all my albums it is fine but when I select the album the art is wrong. It is also wrong when the music is playing. It only happened to two of my albums and I don't understand why. Any help would be appreciated i really would like this fixed. I don't like the art that replaced it.

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

A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.

I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.

You are not alone. Try:

Music album art and movie chapter shot mixed up

Hi I am new here.
I just noticed that the album art for my music and the shots in the movie chapter got mixed up. more details:
1) for the music, the album art are correct in the album view of iPod, and the blown up image when the music is playing. However, when I clicked the back arrow to get back to the main iPod screen, the album art in the lower left hand corner under "Now Playing" is messed up. it could be a) cover from another album 2) a question mark 3) a random shot in one of my movies (Monster Inc. if this is helpful...)
2) in movies, when i click on chapters, the chapter image for some movies which I bought from itunes are messed up. they could be some random shots from other videos (not movies) that i transfered myself. However, some movies (e.g. Monster Inc.) do not have this problem.
I didn't pay attention when this started to happen, but i am pretty sure at one point everything is alright... so... is there are way to fix this besides trying to delete everything and add again (I do not sync my library for music and movies, only pictures...)
any advise would be much appreciated... and oh... i have the most updated version of the firmware...
thanks much in advance

I have the exact same issue, with videos that i own the electrionic version, including home videos.

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.

Genius mixes showing up as album art

I started getting genius mixes as my album art for random songs. Started with one, then all the songs in my playlist showed up with the genius mix art.
I cleared all the art work for the songs in that playlist and nothing changes. I cleared all of those songs, synced, and then added them again and nothing changes. Its very odd and frustrating.

Actually that is known to be a common bug in iTunes 9. I also have the same problem and what I did is turn off the Genius feature and then restore your iPod. It worked for me for about a week but then appeared again. I read in a forum that Apple engineers are working to deliver an update to fix this. I think we have to wait but give the restore idea a try, it may work.

Mix CDs and Album Art

Does anybody know how I can get a Mix CD onto my iPod (5th Gen) so there is no gap between the tunes, as it is on the CD, but I can still skip between the tracks so it is not just one large file?
And also, how do I get album art for the CDs which I have put onto iTunes?

1. Yo can't
2. You find the album art, ex in Google pictures, and copy and paste it. Highlight the songs from the same album in iTunes and paste the picture in the bottom left hand corner in iTunes

IPod Album Art replaced by Genius Mix Art

Picture of the glitch:
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7195/ipoderror.jpg
This happens to albums which fit within the given Genius Mix, albums which do not fit within the given Genius Mix, and oddly enough, to TV shows. It is quite annoying, as I go to great lengths to make sure my album art is all good quality and well cropped. It's all fine on iTunes, but on my iPod it just randomly chooses albums not to work for.

Hi,
It's the same with me. It appears that only manually added artwork displays. Songs with downloaded artwork show a blank in iTunes when I play them from the iPod, although on the iPod itself the artwork shows.
This has to do with the fact that downloaded artwork is not embedded in the mp3-files, in contrary to manually added artwork.
What you could try is to embed downloaded artwork yourself (wait for a rainy sunday afternoon though). Use this program to extract downloaded artwork from your iTunes libray: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iaae/

Custom Album Art for Mixes??

Is there anyway to assign a custom album art/photo to a playlist (a personal mix)?

Thanks, Chris. Good suggestion. But the problem hasn't gone away. Here's what I did:
I ran Repair Permissions but it did not solve the problem. Then I ran verify disk and it checked out OK. Then I ran verify disk permissions and got these 3 i-Tunes related items in the results:
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Frameworks/iPodUpdater.framework/Versions/A/C odeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/CodeResou rces", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Then I ran repair disk permissions a second time, and the same 3 i-Tunes-related "permissions differ" items showed up in the results. Problem still not solved.
I dug down to these 3 files. Only the iTunesHelper/Contents/CodeResources had a permissions setting available. It was set to rw-rw-r. I don't know what lwr might be or what to do about it if anything.
Bottom line, I still can't drag my JPEG into the iTunes artwork box. Now it doesn't even flash.
Thanks,
Scott

Album Art on my 4th gen iPod Touch is all mixed up?

It is all fine on iTunes, but when synced to my iPod the art changes for most of the songs, to the wrong album art. I have tried restoring, deleting all album art and putting it back, and nothing worked.

Not a preferred solution but it did work. Set it up as a new iPod. Fixed everything. Thanks.

Album art mixed up on Ipod 5G

Hello,
I have a 5g ipod and recently finished riping over 200 CD's to Itunes. I added album art to every song on every disk . My Ipod is displaying the album art but it is displaying the wrong art on many songs. Sometimes it shows one art image on the small version next to the song info and then when you click through to the full screen version you get yet another image. All these songs art looks fine when viewed in Itunes on my PC. I spent tons of time getting these on there and now at least 40% are crap on my ipod. Anyone else have this problem?

. My Ipod is displaying the album art but it is displaying the wrong art on many songs. Sometimes it shows one art image on the small version next to the song info and then when you click through to the full screen version you get yet another image.
You do know you can have more than 1 piece of art for each song?
Go to the album anbd open the first song.
Get INfo and Artwork.
There is a little slider under the artwork which zooms in/out. Move it to see if there is more than 1 cover. If so, just select it and hit delete.
Also, when putting artwork in, find it and copy it to the clipboard, select the ablum, make sure the Album Artorwork box (bottom left of iTunes) displays Selected Song, then paste into this box. Easier than doing it one at a time for same album.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

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.
