Seeing only album art - no volume bar or song titles

One day this week my iPod started to display the album art in full screen format. It no longer displays the artist, title, and volume bar along with the "smaller size" album art. Even if the album art isn't available -- I just get a blank box with no volume bar or song info. Does anyone know how I get back to normal?
(PS - I tried unchecking "display album artwork" in the user preferences, but that only resulted in me getting blank boxes -- still no volume bar or song info)

Try hitting select (the middle button) about five times from the Now Playing screen. If that doesn't work, you'll have to reset, which is no big deal.

Cover Flow Album Art won't change with Song Change

When I play songs in Cover Flow mode (landscape), the album remains on the same album that I first played even though the song has advanced to another album. Is this behavior consistent with anyone else or is this only my iPhone that is acting this way? Seems like the album art would change when the song changes, as it does in portrait mode.

I have many problems occuring randomly when i try to use Spotify on my Ipad Air 2 in the BMW car in offline mode.
*After some time Album Art and track names are no longer updated
* After some time some of the HMI buttons get greyed out
I was able to solve all these issues by temporarily enabling WLAN hotspot on my mobile phone, then spotif on the ipad will correct itself.
Of course that's no permanent solution to fiddle with the mobile phone while driving, it must be some sort of bug of spotify that will hopefully get fixed to have proper offline usability in the car.

Album art does not correspond with song

My album art doesnt correspon with my song example: life in the fast lane b van halen instead of the Eagles!! How can i fix? Any info would help. Thanks.

I had the same problem and the only thing I could get to work was to erase everything on the ipod and reload it back from itunes. First I had to put all ipod files on my hard drive, clean out itunes and reload the saved files back to itunes and then back on the ipod. I think 1 of the songs has a bad id3 tag that messed it up. But after clearing everything out and then reloading it fixed it. Good luck

I Can't See any album art on my ipod Please help

For some rerason all of my album artwork won't show up on my ipod anymore. The only way to make it show up is to put the album art on in the library before putting it on my ipod but I have over 1700 songs and it is not worth deleting them to do that. I tried clicking the box to show album art so that it won't show covers and then reapplying it but that won't work. I used to be able to put album art even on files that were already on my ipod. Is that still possible?

there is a work around. i had the same problem

Deleting only album art or leaving it off of iPod?

Is there a way to delete all of your album art or just leave if off of the iPod (preferable) when transfering your music from iTunes. I am trying to maximize space and prioritize music on a very full iPod. Thanks.

Connect your iPod to the computer. Change the settings for music management on the iPod so that album artwork are not shown on iPod (uncheck the box)

When my nano is on shuffle, it won't load the song information like artist, song title, album. Only album art.Is this normal?

My nano 6th generation is just a few days old, and I had to reset it earlier because it refused to play some artists, so the troubleshooting was successful.
However now when I use the shuffle mode, I noticed that it doesn't display the song information such as artist, song name, album, just the album art. When I shake to shuffle, it usually doesn't. This is sporadic: sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Is this an error or is there a way to fix this? But when I shuffle manually, it shows the information. Should I have this fixed?

I had a similar issue and spoke to someone at Apple, who sent me this:
1. Sign out of iTunes on iPhone.
2. Put the iPhone in airplane mode
3. Delete the incorrectly named albums from the iPhone
4. Edit your album names in your iTunes library to what you want
5. Move the songs & albums from your iTunes library back to your iPhone
6. Disconnect
7. Turn off airplane mode
I've had some slight issues arising from it, but the original problem appears fixed.
Hope it helps,
Will

While playing songs in iPOD, Volume bar and Song time bar does not appear !

Hi ...
I bought a new 30G iPOD and have added nearly 500 songs. It worked fine for 2 weeks. But now it is experiencing an issue while playing songs - It does not show volume bar as well as Song time bar. But I checked the same for videos, it is working perfect.
Kindly help me resolve this issue ...
Thanks & Regards,
SANUP

Sometimes, if you don't allow the screen to refresh before pressing another button, it gets stuck.
See this for help.
iPod "stuck" on the artwork or rating screen.
As you will see, updating the software can cure this.

Album Art not displayed on all songs for Album

I have an iPod touch and before I got it, I made sure I had album art on all of the albums, by starting a song and then dragging artwork image. Naturally now, only track 1 per album has the album art.
How can I make sure that when I drag album art that the WHOLE album displays the art, instead of only one song having the art and all the others having the standard eighth-note background? Thank you.

Get Info on the entire album, and drag the art to the Artwork pane in the lower right.

Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

Hello,
I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC. I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all). Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Parkesian,
I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
Clear the Windows Media Player database
========================================
1. Close Windows Media Player.
2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
4. Restart Windows Media Player.
At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
What’s the result?

Album art work missing on new songs

I've been noticing that the album art work is missing on some of the new songs I just purchased from iTunes. I have iTunes 9 and have updated my iPod Touch software. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks!

Just RIGHT click the song, and near the bottom of the drop-down menu, hit "get album artwork".

How can see my photos?when i press on photos folder,just can see only albums.but can't see pictures

iam using now i phone 4, 16 gb ..iam new in i phone. i took alot of pictures.but i cannot see any one in photo folder.i can see there just albums.but i cannot open it.if i want see all the pictures,i have to go to camera and want go to camera roll.how can i open in straight away in photo folder?

You need to read the iPhone User Guide to learn how to use your phone properly. I've included the link at the bottom of this reply.
Photos taken by your iPhone reside in your camera roll. From there, you need to import them onto your computer for safekeeping. You can arrange them into albums and THEN synch them back to your photo albums.
How to do all of this is covered very clearly in the User Guide

Sort by grouping whilst seeing ALL album art (list view)

I recently bought all of the ABBA albums *The Albums (Bonus Track Version) [Remastered]* which unfortunately all have the same album name and the individual albums are denoted using grouping...
Is there any way to view all the albums with their separate album covers in list view or am I going to have to edit the album info...?

Two and a half years on, the album artist feature is still not supported by iPods? What the ****? Is this even on a 'todo' list at Apple?
I'm really happy with iTunes, the album artist feature is a godsend, but seriously, why can't iPods support it?
I quite agree... In the meantime you might find my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums useful, it details workarounds for this and other quirks in the iTunes/iPod system.

Album art does not match the song after iOS 5 upgrade

The subject pretty much speaks for itself

I think I figured it out: Connect your ipad/iphone to your iTunes PC/MAC. In iTunes, click on the iPad/iPhone. On the "Summary" tab for your device (in iTunes), select "Sync with this iPad/iPhone over Wi-Fi". On your iPad/iphone go to "Settings", then "General". Toward the bottom you'll see "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync". Select it. Select the "Sync Now" option. It's the only option. iTunes should start syncing the missing album covers.
I'm doing this as I'm writing this. Good luck!

Can't get album art to work for 1 song albums?

Basically I've got this one song which doesn't come from an album it's just on it's own. I have the artwork for it, and I want it in cover flow. When I do right click -> get info on an album with multiple songs, there's a blank square on one of the tabs for artwork. However, if I do this for my album with one song, I don't get that option.
I tried adding another song and then adding the artwork to both together (I put them with the same album name) but when I deleted the second song, the artwork also disappeared.
I can't use ID3 tags because i'ts a .wav file so I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Owen

IPod album art not functioning properly

When I go to play a song on my iPod Video, the album art appears next to the song title as usual. But if I click the center button twice, the expanded art doesn't appear, all I get is a white box with a grey outline. I don't know how to fix this and. Someone please help me out!
Dell Windows XP Current version of iTunes (7.2.0.34)

I haven't done a search to see if others are talking about this problem, but I know it exists as well. My solution was to manually highlight one track, copy the art, then paste it back into the entire album. Which I know defeats the purpose of iTunes downloading the art for you. The only plus thing about it is the iTunes art is usually nice, clear and very large so they look great when you print out the cover art.
I am also having a problem that I will post elsewhere, but I am betting it has something to do with this as well, so I'll spit it out here too. If I take any of the newly imported music (from-CD) drag it to another harddirve to re-import, the tags are completely gone except for the song title.
