Nano + iTunes 7 = Messed up Album Art

when I updated to itunes 7 my album art now is messed up. About one of five of every piece of album art is just a bunch of random colored pixels.
Anyone else experiencing bugs like this?
I am running the latest version of the updater. It also occurs when I use the previous version of updater (which I've had to do to get my audio books to function without hangs (another bug).
I'm hoping these get addressed in the next versions of iTunes and the updater. I love my nano, esp when it is functioning smoothly.

Is the artwork messed up in iTunes, on your iPod, or both?
Also, the iPod Updater doesn't really exist anymore. The iPod Updater is built into iTunes. So, when you connect your iPod up to your computer, update its software through iTunes.

ITunes messed up album art, artist name, song

IOS 5 is confusing artwork on my iTunes library. For instance, I'll tap to play Eagles "One Of These Nights" and while it's the right song, I'll be looking at an unrelated album cover. This includes my audio books. Anyone have a fix? I'm sure Apple will fix this...
Thx!

Can you please describe in a little more detail?
Did you restore to factory settings on the iPhone? (settings-general-restore-restore all settings)? Then syncing again?
I see some suggest to disable music syncing (removing all music) the reenable music syncing. That will take long time!
I also see some suggest first disable "show album artwork on iPhone", syncing, reenable "show album artwork" and then syncing again.

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Sync Messed up Album Art

The last time I synched my iPhone, album artwork from a few of the songs was transferred to podcasts. For instance, "Car Talk" podcasts now have the "Speaking in Tongues" (Talking Heads) album cover art. How can I fix this and restore the NPR Car Talk logo?
Thanks.

I have had a similar issue, but much more...started with the messed up album art, and now the following problems are happening (5th Generation 30 GB ipod):
won't play video - Just black screen for 10 seconds, then back to menu
sometimes won't play podcasts - when clicking on podcast it goes to the play screen and then without the timer moving it acts as if it's played the entire podcast, and goes back to menu.
also, sometimes the music or podcast gets terribly garbled almost like "electronic noise"
I have restored 2 times, and reset numerous times, but it continues to happen!!

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

No. No.

ITunes jacked up album art after adding music to iPhone

After adding some new music to my phone last night, I noticed several files either lost the album art or it was wrong altogether. This has happened before and it took several frustrating hours of documenting which files were messed up and correcting the album art. But when I corrected the discrepancy, others that had the right artwork originally got messed up. So I had to constantly check and recheck to make sure the music had the right art.
The funny thing is, in iTunes the album art 'appears' correct under the iPhone device section. It's just wrong when you physically look at the phone. Do I need to go through the entire list of songs on the phone and delete every piece of album art and start all over again? Just so I don't have to go through 5 or 6 iterations before iTunes gets it right?
We're dealing with 1s and 0s here so what causes iTunes to mess this up?

I am having the same issue. I recently update my mac and then want to update my iphone. I notice my art album on my iphone is all mess up. I check my music on iTunes the art album are correct. What am I suppose to do to correct this problem. This problem just happen yesterday (10/30/2013). Please help because I don't want to go throughout my entire music when it's apple fault..please advise on what to do. Thanks

Messed up Album Art

The album art for my Queen greatest hits 1, II, and III were the way they were supposed to be origionally, but I transeferred my files onto another computer and now when I try to get the album art from the files of mine that I've imported Itunes retrieves the wrong art. This is puzzling because I can see in the store that they have the appropriate and origional artwork that I had. for greatest hits one I get Queen Ekanem greatest hits and for greatest hits two I get the artwork for #3, which is as it should be.

Can you please describe in a little more detail?

ITunes fetching default album art from installed iOS app

Hello,
Whenever I import an MP3 file (by dragging it from Finder) with -no- embeded artwork into iTunes I'd expect this to be added with the default double quaver album artwork.
However the default artwork is instead taken from an iPad/iPhone app from my iTunes library! iTunes was assigning the icon from the World Atlas app, I removed this app, tried importing the MP3 file again and iTunes instead assigned the icon from a differrent app.
This happens with -all- MP3 files with no embedded artwork. MP3 files with embedded artwork are fine, with iTunes using the correct artwork from the file.
It seems iTunes has somehow lost the double quaver (I suppose it's still in iTunes/Contents/Packages somewhere) from a cache? But clearing this cache may not be a solution as, as I mentioned before when I delete the app from where iTunes assigns its image, it then proceeds to get the image from -another- app.
MP3 files with no embedded artwork show the double quaver fine in Finder.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?
Thanks very much in advance.

I've read it, and I'm not a legal person, so if you want to be sure you need to contact MS support or a legal expert, but my take is this:
- The mass download doesn't conflict with the TOU, just as long as it's an end user initiating the mass downloads. Once agents, robots, scripts and spiders initiate a mass download you are violating the TOU.
- Copy, store, cache is allowed assuming the end user has a valid subscription.
but the sample they gave with fetching data does not check for the user subscription, it checks for my developer subscription...
I contacted microsoft directly...let's hope they answer soon...I will post their answer here...
I can use the API as long as I put the "available on xbox music" badges on the album art as well

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.

ITunes sorting question - album art

Hi,
I currently have my itunes setup whereby it shows the album art for each album (this is the third possible viewpoint, of the four that you can select).
The trouble is, some of my albums have multiple singers in them (e.g compilation albums).
So, if I "sort albums by title", I get multiple versions of the same album art in a row, one for each singer. If I click the album art, only that one song comes up, rather than all the songs in the album.
In other words, I just want each album art to show ONCE, and for all the songs in that album to be displayed when I click on that album art. This works fine if the album has just the one singer on it, but if it has multiple singers, the problem above occurs.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks

Setting the Album Artist will fix most of the problem, but for more information see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Using iTunes to Download Album Art

I hope this hasn't already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find any threads.
What are the requirements to use iTunes' built-in method of obtaining album art from the store?
Does it simply match up Artist and Album terms? Or does it check other fields for consistency?
I've been using GimmeSomeTune (which only matches Artist/Album) and its been great, but if the same feature is built into iTunes, I may as well use that... the problem is, that it doesn't seem to be working on some albums and I am not sure what is missing. Thanks.

I think you're right, it looks at artist and album. It may also use Album Artist (which I always leave blank) and track number, but I'm not sure. Also, sometimes it just can't get the artwork right or the album isn't on iTunes. BTW, I'm going to try GimmeSomeTune now that you mentioned it.

My iTunes Deletes My Album Art! Please Help!

I have two quick questions:
1. Why does iTunes(v6.0.4.2) mysteriously delete the album art i put for some CDs i import a few weeks after i have imported them and place long strings of numbers in the 'comments' column? (this has been driving me crazy!!!) and also...
2. Is it possible to encode mp3s with iTunes without having to import it directly from a CD?
Any help for either of these would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!

I think it might have something to do with my id3 tags... but most of my mp3s use id3v2.3 which is the latest version if i remember right... someone help... please?

Moving iTunes Libraries and Album Art

I’m running iTunes on a Windows desktop and have about 700 albums. I’ve manually added album art to about 100 of these. I have a need to determine the BPM of all my songs so I can group them accordingly. I’m using Tangerine to do this. It is a Mac-only app (and is fantastic!) so I port my entire iTunes folder from the desktop to a MacBook via a USB drive. When I view the library on the Mac, it doesn’t show the album art for those 100 albums, nor does it do so when I move the iTunes folder back to the Windows desktop after Tangerine has updated the BPM values.
What can I do to keep this album art?
Thanks, MERunner

Make sure your ID3 tags are v2.3. iTunes default imports as v2.2.
Just highlight the songs, right click > Convert ID3 tags.
Also, you need to add the artwork to the ID3 tag of each file. iTunes by default puts it in a folder on each PC to save space, by just having one artwork file per album, not per song.

ITunes showing correct album art in "get info" but album previews still wrong.

I've looked through countless iTunes album art threads yet I still can't figure this problem out.
In my itunes library I have one album which doesn't display the correct preview artwork, yet when I check each track the listed artwork is correct. I've tried deleting the itunes album artwork cache, using doug's applescripts, and deleating and readding the tracks, yet nothings worked.
Here a picture of the problem:
Any ideas?

Maybe the album artowork cache needs to be refereshed.
Quit iTunes and open your iTunes library folder and then open album artwork. Delete the cache folder in there, and then re launch iTunes
See how that works.
