My Album covers appear on My IPOD incorrectly.

My album covers are all correct on my computer, but they display incorrectly on my IPOD.

Yep mine is doing exactly the same thing. I've been working for the last several months putting my mp3 collection together and finally uploaded it all to my brand new ipod this past weekend and noticed that every 3 songs or so the album artwork is incorrect. I'm thinking it's some type of bug that Apple needs to correct with this model because I've taken everything off and put it back on several times and I"ve played with the "display artwork" button and I've even restored the pod and to no avail it's still screwed up!

Album covers displayed on Video iPod?

How do I get album covers displayed on my Video iPod?

Copy the album artwork from somewhere like Google images or Amazon or where I like to get from http://www.thejosher.net/iTunes/ and go to the song you want with that artwork and right-click to get info and go to artwork and paste it; You can do the same with multiple songs except you would have to press and hold the CTRL button and click on the songs at the same time.

N97 Album Covers

I have 2 phones: Nokia N97 and HTC Desire Z. With both of these phones, I transfer the music from my PC to them by connecting them via USB as USB storage devices, I then copy the music files and directories onto both phones. On my Desire Z, the album covers appear on my music player. On my N97, they do not. I'm sure that the album cover info is copied over to both phones as I noticed files in addition to the MP3 files are copied over.

Since iOS5 update, album covers missing

A couple days ago, I upgraded to Lion and also udated my iPhone4 and iPad to iOS5. Today, I synced the iPhone4, then made changes to app layout and applied changes. When iTunes was running to apply the changes, I saw a message under the sync status bar that said "updating album artwork." It appeared to be updating all of the artwork. I went back and added a few pdfs that I wanted to sync and applied those. I again saw the message "updating album artwork." So, I checked the phone and about 95% of my albums don't have any artwork.
I rebooted the phone and synced again. Same message and still almost no album covers.
I don't keep music on iPad so no other device to compare to. All album covers are in iTunes library.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix other than a full restore?

Found a fix. Had to uncheck Music in iTunes to remove library from phone. Then rechecked Music to reload library. All album covers appeared.

Ipod touch won't play movies or songs w/album covers

Hi all - Before I left for a very long trip I downloaded a bunch of tv shows, movies and songs from itunes on a 32G ipod touch. I also was asked to update the software to 2.1 - which I did.
Prior to this, everything worked great!! I even had a movie on the ipod that worked fine before, but I hadn't finished watching it, so I left it there to finish now.
Sunday night, I got on the plane for my first leg of the trip, and tried to finish watching the movie and got the error message "this movie could not be played." I then tried every other video I had downloaded from itunes and got the same error message each time. Sometimes it would display the play, pause and volume controls, but never any video - and the error message would always appear.
Then I went to play my music -- nothing!! Except, I realized today, songs that do not display album covers play fine... I know this sounds odd - but it is true. I can only listen to songs that do not have album covers connected to them. The others are silent until they end.
So basically, EVERYTHING (music and videos) that I have downloaded from itunes does not work and every song that I downloaded from a CD does work. And Sunday morning, before doing the software upgrade, it all worked fine...
I have turned the device off and on a bunch of times -- I have reset all settings at least five times. I let the battery drain out and recharged it and still no change... I would even be willing to wipe the device clean and start over - However, I will not be near my computer for several weeks.
Can someone please help me - At 4am PST I leave for the airport to get on another plane for a 10 hour trip and cannot maintain my sanity without my music and videos.
Thank you in advance for your help and thank you on behalf of all of the passengers on my next two flights too!!

Hey!
I recall encountering this problem myself after the 2.1 update.Albeit only with some of my iTunes purchases(only the ones I'd bought thru my iPT).
I did a couple of resets,which did nothing to resolve the problem.
In the end, I re-connected to my Mac and did another 'sync'.Which then cured the pod of it's problem.
Not much use to you at the moment I know,but it was(in my case) an easy remedy to the problem.
Cheers,
John

Can't load Album Covers onto my ipod. Keep getting error message

Well, I want to put albums cover art into my ipod to show when play music, and I have all the artwork already but when i go at iTunes and "Ipod Options" and mark "Display album artwork at your iPod" and press OK, it show iPod is updating and suddenly an error message appears and say: "The "X's iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)".
I only end up getting about 2 albums loaded onto my iPod. Please help. I am desperate here. I have tried everything and I am at the end of my rope. Has anyone else had this problem?
Windows XP

I'm getting the same problem with my iPod ("unknown error (-50)"). I can get more than 2 albums loaded, but I am still missing many of the album covers which appear on iTunes.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Album cover wont appear on my iPod - why?

I can see all the album covers when I'm in iTunes, but they will not appear on my iPod :/ Can someone tell me why?
I have read two previous topics that has similiar problems to mine, but they didn't work out. I tried to remove all pictures I had on it to see whether that could help me get the album covers to appear, that didn't work. I tried to unmark all songs so that my iPod contained no songs and then marked all songs back, but that didn't work either.
I have plenty of songs where I have copied album covers in, but I also have quite the few where the album covers has arrived while I used a CD. They don't show either. I've never used iTunes shop as I don't want to pay for these things, so please don't ask me to make an account there even though I've seen that could work out.
But the thing is also, that I did have all album covers into my iPod for a very long time, before they suddenly dissapeared around two-three weeks ago. I've really tried everything I can so now I've come to you guys for some help and I do hope you can help me and that I have explained my problem with as much details as possible.
Hoping I'll get an answer from you soon,
-Carrie

Yes, a restore will erase the iPod. It is a bad idea to only have your stuff on the iPod (this issue you are having is a good example why) since if anything happens to the iPod, you lose everything.

I have an iPod touch, with iOS 5.0.1 I have manually added lyrics and album covers on iTunes, but they aren't syncing over. Why? How do I fix it?

I have an iPod touch that I bought recently, and have updated everything to the iOS 5.0.1 version. I have checked my music settings, and it has Lyrics and Podcast Info "ON". I have manually added the lyrics to several songs, as well as album covers, and neither one are transferring over to the iPod touch when syncing. How do I go about fixing this? I have double checked all the settings I can think of to get this transferred over. I have even double-checked the online manual to make sure where I would even find the lyrics, and how to get to them...yet....nothing.

I didn't realize I had to delete everything and sync again. WHEW! Thank you so much. That worked.

Album covers in my ipod

Some of my album covers in my ipod are showing audiobook covers not the correct album covers associated with my songs....but when I go into itunes it shows the correct album cover there. Why is this happening?

Try unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when youd iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Album covers keep getting deleted from ipod

Everytime I shut my ipod off I lose all access to my album covers. Once I plug the ipod back into my computer they are once again able to be accessed until I turn it off again. This problem just started to happen all the time now. I was getting this before when the battery was very low, but now it is happening when the battery is fully charged. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Daniel
You've posted on the iPhoto 6 forum. You might have more luck on the iPod for Windows forum:

Album covers not all appearing in Cover Flow

I have a new iPhone 5, (IOS 6.0.1) and I restored all of my apps from a backup of my iPhone 4 (IOS 6.0.1). I notice that my album covers do not all appear in Cover Flow mode. I checked my iPhone 4, before resetting it, and it had the same problem. I deleted the music from my iPhone 5 and restored all of the playlists from my MacPro and still have the problem. I cannot detect and differences between those that appear and those that do not appear. Any ideas?
And btw, I manually installed he Album Art on each Album, I did not use iTunes to search for Album Art.

Does this article help?

Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
Other infomation that may assist in answers:
-The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
-All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
-There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
-The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
-My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
Thank you if you answered responsibily, and if you responded like a tool then I dislike you.

Disappearing Album covers with iPod Photo

I have an iPod with photo, and I am experiencing something a little odd. It seems that, if I go for a while without docking the iPod, it will stop displaying the album covers. Dock it, and they return. Anyone else experience this, or know the reason?

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.

My Album covers appear on My IPOD incorrectly.
