My iTunes album artwork is messed up big time!

Suddenly, almost all of the album artwork for my albums in iTunes library on my iMac is incorrect! The wrong album artwork is displayed for almost all albums in my iTunes library. I'm using iTunes Match, which may have caused the problem, because I never had a problem like this prior to iTunes Match. I've tried disabling then re-enabling iTunes Match, and the album art is still foobar.
Oddly, I have a MacBook Pro which on which I'm using iTunes Match, and all of the (same) albums artwork appear correct.

I had this problem. I found if you turn iTunes Match off on your iPod/iPad/iPhones then sync the device to itunes. Uncheck Sync Music then click sync. This will remove all your music (i guess you knew that ), now go back to your iOS device and turn iTunes Match back on. After about 5 mins or so (well it was in my case) all your songs and art work will be as it should...
The only downside to this is you will have to download form the cloud all the songs you want to take with you
I can only guess that Apple thought we would stream most of our music and not keep it on our devices?
I just wish Apple would be more clearer on the workings of Itunes Match, its a very good service but not having clear instuctions leaves many to write it off as a bad idea.... as I almost did.
Still I hope this helps.

Album artworks messed up. Any way to restore without erasing device?

I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20901279 thread already, and this is not a good-enough solution.
I have an Ipod touch 5th g.
After upgrade to ios7, it went all insane - I could not sync it with my iTunes. I was "okay, major upgrade, let's reset it".
After reset, everything went fine til now (I reset device on 20th september or so, it makes about 3 months).
Today, after morning re-sync, my album artworks (&some artist artworks) are messed up.
Most of my music is from iTunes store. Some (15%) is from my old CDs.
What should I do?
Reset is an option, but it stinks (e.g.: any iDevice is a thing that supposed to 'just work')

Well okay, I've unsynced/synced the device and waited a week.
For most time it was O.K., however after 2nd purchase my album art is all messed up again.
Unsyncing again.. Feeling somewhat strange.

Album artwork mess

I recently upgraded my computer's hard drive. When I moved my iTunes info over and had to reformat my iPod because of the move I lost a lot of album artwork. I never used an outside source. All artwork was grabbed using iTunes.
I have incorrect artwork for albums that was correct before the move. Example: The cover for The White Stripes "Elephant" album that was correct before the move shows artwork for "Elephant Art" by The Nyquist Emergency.
Before the move I had the artwork for Robbie Williams' "The Ego Has Landed" and now I do not.
Is there anyway I can fix this (using iTunes)? I'm a bit miffed.

Welcome to AD!
The itunes store database for artwork gets messed up from time to time. For a while, Led Zeppelin "Mothership" was listed under artist name = Lead Zeppelin, and the only way to get the artwork from iTS was to change your tags so the Artist Name was Lead Zeppelin, get the art, and change the artist back to the correct spelling.
Apple has since fixed that one, but other Led Zep covers are bringing back the wrong art.
Funny you should mention White Stripes. I have been unable to get iTS artwork for +Get Behind Me Satan+ and +White Blood Cells+ for ages. They worked OK today.
But when I DLd artwork for Elephant, I also got artwork from The Nyquist Frequency, same as you! So their database is messed up.
You have 2 options:
1) Use itunes menu > Help > Provide iTunes Feedback and tell them the artwork is broken. Leave your artwork blank. Wait for them to fix it by periodically checking. They will never email you, and it might take months.
Like I mentioned, I added some White Stripes albums. That was back in September. iTS did finally have the correct artwork today for them...it's not like I've been checking every day or anything. Who knows when they fixed it!
2) Get it someplace else on the web and paste it into the artwork box.
The iTS DL'd artwork goes in a special folder on your PC....on XP it is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\Album Art
Vista is a similar, but shorter path.
So when you changed your hard drive, that folder was probably lost.
Along with your itunes ITL database file, and that is why you had to erase your iPod as well, since it was not the same itunes library file as before.

Who's been messing with my album artwork?

I have recently bought Cubis 2 for my 80gb video iPod. Before, I also bought zuma and minigolf. No problems with the latter. However, when I loaded cubis on my pod, a bunch of my album artwork went missing. I am very frustrated with this. An explanation of why and how to fix this would be wonderful.

Try these in order. If one doesn't work, go the the next.
1: reset your iPod (hold down center + menu keys until the Apple logo appears)
2: In iTunes remove all of your songs, than re-transfer them back to your iPod
3: Reformat you iPod (under iTunes)
Also, just make sure that you have album art, and only 1 piece of album art (you can do this by right clicking and selecting get info, then under artwork, either add or remove).
Good luck
-David

Ipod Messing Up Videos and Album Artwork

My ipod is switching my album artwork with other songs and even videos and when I plug it into my computer it shows the correct artwork.
With one of my videos in the middle of it the movie stops and plays the sounds of the begining for a few minutes, then it continues the movie.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Joe,
Contact me at [email protected] and I can help you out as to downloading high resolution album art covers.
Thanks.

So frustrating...album artwork is all messed up!! Please help!

I have been spending the last few days getting album artwork for about 200 full-length albums on my 120 GB Ipod Classic. They were all in order in cover flow for awhile now it's all the wrong artwork. If I scroll through sometimes it would go through almost 10 of the same cover art. I have tried everything from deleting artwork and starting again and still the same thing. I was thinking about restoring the Ipod but cannot find the "restore" button. On the summary page it says "If you are experiencing problems with your Ipod, you can restore it's original setting by clicking restore" but there is nothing that says restore anywhere on the page.I need some serious help with this!

Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries. Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view. How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

Can no longer get album artwork

Just got a new iPhone and wanted album artwork for all the songs I have loaded. Last night I found that some of the older songs I had loaded in my library had no album listed, so I would just find the correct album name, add it into the "Get Info" section - then I could right-click on it and the iTunes store would download the correct album artwork for me.
There were a few songs that iTunes didn't have, so I went out on the Internet, found the appropriate images and loaded them with those songs.
However, now, for whatever reason - even when iTunes finds the song, artist, album - when I right click and try to download the art, it is unable to do so. I've even been copying the information directly from iTunes to make sure that the song name, artist name & album name are correct. I just keep receiving "Unknown Error" - is this a temporary thing, or did something mess up by importing my own images?

Worked this morning, now doesn't work for me either.

Hello!
I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed. I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged... lol

Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums. They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab. I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album. In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found. I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail. It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18? Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

How do I stop iTunes changing my album artwork?

I do not want iTunes changing my album artwork. I spend a lot of time getting this right. iTunes 12.01 has started messing with this, substituting new artwork and removing what I put there. How do I stop this happening?

Hi Alan,
I have always kept this option unchecked. I've looked again just now and the option has remained unchecked. For some reason iTunes 'selected' 4 (that I've noticed) out of my 1775 albums and did its automatic update anyway. I guess this is a bug in the latest version, perhaps during the updating process.
I've changed the album art back to what I want and will keep an eye on them. I'll feed back to this thread if iTunes changes the art again.
Thanks for getting back to me,
Phil
