My song art is all screwed up!!!

some songs on my iPod (not in iTunes) have different album artwork than it should. i don't know what to do, and i'm not even sure what i did to get it this way. Please help!!!

I've been reading on this forum you need to reset/format your iPod and update the iPod software. I'll give it a go once I've finished ripping my CD's and have backed them up.

    After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

    I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
    At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
    I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
    I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

  • ITunes music all screwed up

    Hello.
    I like to think of myself as a very proficient Macintosh user. However, from time to time, things stump me. This is one of those things.
    So, I was manually adding some folders (the way iTunes likes to organize them, by artist titled folders) in the proper directory (iTunes was open) but my songs didn't show up. So, I closed it and opened it back up again. Nope, nothing. So I moved the iTunes Database File (what is this file??? please explain what this is even for..) one directory up. Big mistake... All my stuff was gone. So I thought that at this point it wasn't too bad, because I thought I could reverse it back. I was wrong. I moved it back and it just converted the original database file to the new one (the one with no songs)! So now I have a new database file that has lost all the information that I needed. Maybe I would better understand the issue if I knew what those were really for. But aha! I didn't stop there. I impulsively trashed iTunes' .plist file. Now I was really in for it! Not only were all my songs "gone" (I know, I know, they're not gone, I have them all neatly organized in folders by artists, it's just that iTunes can't see them) but I was about to go through a set up wizard. But I didn't stop there! I completed the setup wizard, making one mistake along the way: To have iTunes search for my music for me and import it. So now I have every audio file being imported into my library, but they would go in by doubles, triples, and sometimes even quadruples! I got really scared then. iTunes gave me a warning saying that there wasn't enough room for it to copy all the music into it's library. Good! I don't want it to! (Does it mean copy, literally? Like duplicate? Would that explain the pairs that were imported?) So now I am really all screwed up. Ahh, the consequences of mucking with files you shouldn't be mucking around with. While it was determining gapless playback information, I stopped it. Somehow, the duplicates went away, I think. But there are still lots left. What should I do? Where can I startover? I don't like this! I just want the music in my iTunes music folder to be put into my library exactly how it is. Acutally, it's quite similar to the request of this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=854588&tstart=0 user. (Sorry, I don't know how to make hyperlinks)
    Can anybody offer ANY suggestions?
    Thanks for your time,

    If I remember your problems started when you moved things from within the Finder. The plist was just fine. If you trash the plist then iTunes will generate a fresh default plist. You will need to set your prefs before continuing. The Library file is related to the data base of tunes not your prefs. The plist is related to your prefs and not your Library file.
    You should be able to open iTunes - blank library in the main window then 'add' the tunes back into the library. You can use the File menu 'Add to Library' (+O) or you can navigate via the finder to the tunes and drop them into the main iTunes window. +O is the easiest for me. You will get the same result. Navigate from within iTunes - not the Finder. iTunes will ask you the path.
    Now comes the potential messy part. If you grab an folder that has multiple albums in it - i.e.: Beatles White album + Sgt. Peppers - and add those to the library at the same time you will likely get the tunes out of album order- iTunes will add a couple of White Album then a couple of Sgt. Peppers then a couple of White etc. If using the 'Date Added' as the view then it looks really disorganized. So if that is a view that you normally use and order is important to you then it will take some time to add tunes back in an orderly fashion. If order is not important and using the sort by 'Album' is suitable for you then never mind. Try a couple and you will see what I mean. You can add multiple folders back at the same time if you want.

    I have a iPad 2 and need to print of a invoice can I print on my hp photos art 3110 all in one if so how do I go about it please

    your printer doesn't appear in the compatible Airprint printers listed in this basic article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    There might be an app HP has to help you out, but there's no Apple supported way, as it's not an Airprint printer.
    Anyways, hope this helps

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • ITunes 10.6.3 not playing song previews at all

    Since Wednesday my iTunes 10.6.3 is not palying song previews at all. Clicking the play radio button shows it response as poitning at it I can see teh stop button. But no sound no movement on the playback progress bar at the top. I have upgared to Mountain Lion but this problem started a  week before the upgrade. I have reinstalled iTunes twice and checked on my other Macbook same problem. Frustrating as one cannot buy song beofre previewing.

    Hi,
    yes I understand that. I assume that your mac is "authorized"?  You might also have a problem with IPV6 causing interferrence.  Have a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3202188?start=0&tstart=0
    to turn off IPV6.

  • I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time ever my content is all screwed up.  Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps.  However, the music library is intact.   Any ideas?  Thanks.............

    I just downloaded the newest reconfigured version of iTunes, and for the first time  ever my content is all screwed up.  Specifically, all of my playlists are gone, so are my apps.  The good news is that my music library is intact and that I've got more than one device with everything as it should be on them; the bad news is that my PC does not recognise my devices and keeps defaulting to " lets sync your devices to this new computer loose all of the playlists I've spent years compiling".  I don't get it.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • I just deleted and restored iTunes because I had 4 or 5 of each song. After all that I STILL HAVE 4 or 5 of every song. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

    I just deleted and restored iTunes because I had 4 or 5 of each song. After all that I STILL HAVE 4 or 5 of every song. HOW DO I FIX THIS? Or do I just stop using iTunes?

    Since this a potentially drastic approach I will remind you that at this point you ought to have a complete backup of your library in case things get worse rather than better...
    Select the Music source, select all (ctrl-a), delete, DO NOT SEND FILES TO THE TRASH!
    Repeat with other media sources if you wish.
    Import your media, get it organized, backup again.
    I can recall if I've sent you in the direction of this information yet...
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another without breaking the links between the library and the media and being self-contained is much easier to backup
    ... but if you are going to start over I'd recommend you work with iTunes rather than fighting it. If you want your own folder structure for your media (I know I do, but generally recommend people don't because it is less hassle) then turn off the option under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to Keep the iTunes Media folder organized, but place your structure somewhere inside the iTunes media folder. That way you get the advantages mentioned above and are much less likely to create duplicates by accident again in future.

  • I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs.  How do I fix this?

    I tunes can't find original song files of all my songs.  How do I fix this?

    Itunes stores ripped cds in the 'itunes' folder called 'itunes music' which under normal installation should reside into your 'My music' folder. Your music folders on the DVD then have to be copied into the 'Itunes music' folder for itunes to find it.
    The tracks with the exclamation marks have registered with the incorrect location into the library. You can do two things:
    Either search in the folder where you copied them from the DVD at the earlier step described above which means that you will have to do this for every single track, or the fastest way, delete all the incorrect entries and re-import by drag and drop into library the folders with the music you want to show in the library.

  • I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music, how can I get them back

    I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music , how can I get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • HP Photosmart C3180 prefs all screwed up

    After doing the latest 10.5.6 updates, the printer has gotten all screwed up. It now prints in magenta and white. it won't remember presets and changes the presets I do have. I want to do fast draft B&W printing for invoices from Quickbooks and it keeps reverting to photopaper, high res and color ink. Is there any way to erase the prefs and start over?
    TIA

    PS This makes my wife and her office staff hate me for doing updates on the office computer as this happens almost every time.
    It's a 2.5 Ghz Intel iMac.

    If the above doesn't work see if there is a Quickbooks preference plist in home/library/preferences. Trash it and relaunch Quickbooks.
