Small and big album art not matching

I bought an 5G iPod only ten days or so ago, and I have recently finished to transfer all my song database.
I'm seeing something strange happens with the album art. Sometimes I take a look on the screen, and it correctly displays the song info: artist, album, song title and also the small album pic are OK. But when I push the central button to see the enlarged album art, sometimes the album picture I see belongs to a different artist or album that I also have in my library. It also happens the other way around, i.e, if I display the big album pic and then I switch to the artist/title screen.
Does anyone know how can I fix this and why does it happen?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I have just seen that sometimes the work art displayed is plain wrong in both small and big sizes. I have checked on ITunes and the album art is looks fine there, though. Is it possible that something went wrong during my last iPod-iTunes sync?

yeah mine too, and i've tried re-setting it, and wiping it and re-sync ing etc,
still seems to do the same, and is generally rally annoying seeing how it is such a relatively useless feature, it would be nice if it at least worked...!
any ideas..?

  • Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

    Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
    Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

    You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
    Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

  • Album art not matching correctly between iTunes and iPhone.

    So as much as this might not seem as an issue for some, I notice that my album artwork in iTunes does not always match up with the album art on my phone. If I think that some artwork for a song or album is unappealing or not matching, I will change it to my own artwork. Normally, this has never been an issue for me until recently. What happens is I do the normal album art changing procedure (go to get info, add/delete album art) and it works fine. The odd thing is that when I go to select an album on my phone, the album art is the same as what it was in the iTunes Store and not what I added, but the individual songs have the album art that I added myself.
    I've managed to fix this issue on some albums by converting them mp3 format, but that only works for some and I don't know why. I would prefer the song art and album art be the same, just because I'm really nitpicky about things matching. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? Does anyone else happen to have this issue, or any clue what the problem might be? Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    What you are trying to do is clear but iTunes Match / IOS 6 does not work that way.
    You can sync playlists from computer to iDevice using the options under the music tab for your iDevice on the computer.  This will provide a local copy on the iDevice of each Song included in each Playlist selected for sync.
    With iTunes Match / IOS 6, as Songs are played from the iCloud (ie not those already downloaded in playlists) IOS 6 does in fact 'download' the Song to a local cache.  In theory this cache should be managed by IOS 6 such that it does not overload your iDevice memory - Apple have not chosen to share exactly how this operates.
    Given your notes above would suggest starting from a refresh restore on the iPhone 5 with all synchronisation performed afresh and iTunes Match switched on.

  • Album art not matching up when synced from itunes to ipad2?

    Has anyone had this issue. Songs are correct but they matched up with the wrong album art?

    I think you're right KeRaMa19.
    I also have my iPod set up to be managed manually. I don't want to take up hard drive space on my boot drive with 130GB of music (I back up all my music to an external HD).
    I think that, unlike the prior version of iTunes, iTunes 11 doesn't access the iPod's Album Art cache… though with BBEdit (display hidden files, enable everything), I see that there is a database on my iPod under *iPodName* / iPod_Control / Artwork / ArtworkDB
    Curiously, the ArtworkDB file is only 1.7MB. However, I have 4 .ithmb files that are 73.6MB, 460.2MB, 13.8MB and 66 KB (and 2 .tmp files that are 1.5MB and 16KB).
    The other curious thing is that, when I use iPod Access to copy/rip songs from my iPod to my desktop, the resulting copies of the mp3's DO display the artwork in iTunes when I play them (off my desktop).
    As I said, it appears that iTunes 11 no longer accesses the artwork database on the iPod. I hope they fix that, because it's an inconvenient pain in the a§§

  • Track List and Grouped Album Art not right

    I purchased a 2 disc album from iTunes. I did nothing but click buy. I have not changed any default settings. When viewed under "+view grouped with artwork+", most tracks are separate instead of being grouped together under one album image. There are a few that are grouped together randomly. For example: +track 1 of 16 on Disc 1+ is with +track 1 of 15 on disc 2+, or +tracks 3, 4, 5, & 10 of 15 Disc 2+ are grouped together.
    Another problem is with the order of the tracks. When I downloaded to my iPhone, the tracks are out of order. For example: +#16 of disc 2 is now #1+, +#1 of disc 1 is now #17 of 31+.
    Finally, The artwork downloaded to my iPhone for most, _but not all_ of the tracks.
    What on earth am I doing wrong!?!?
    Thanks for your help

    I've since started over from scratch with a 'clean' phone.  Formatted the SD Card, created Music & Videos folders & copied all respective files using a card reader with the PC.
    SD Card installed in the phone & when switched on ALL tracks appear in respective artist/album location - only once.
    Connecting the phone to the PC to add new albums results in all new albums being detected once BUT with NO artwork (cover image).  Deleting an album results in that being deleted the list available in the 'Music+Videos' App.  Copying the album back results in that being detected BUT with no artwork.
    Trawling through the web, I've discovered a brilliant app MPAtool which magically restores the missing artwork. It's not 100% effective as it doesn't necessarily locate all artwork, but these can be found manually either by , locating them in Music or, if that also fails, copy the artwork to 'camera roll' & point MPAtool to that location.
    So far, I've had no more duplications & all albums have their respective artwork.
    It is also important to ensure that the MP3 tag is 100% correct.  Using Winamp to rip my CDs to MP3, the CDDB imports the information for artist, album, track etc & populates all the necessary locations without error.  However, some earlier MP3 tracks that I have had had erroneous entries which confuse the Windows 8 software.  Also when ripping albums with more than 1 CD, Winamp identified each CD as 1/2 & 2/2 with track numbers 1 - n on each rip which Windows 8 interprets as 2 albums.  I prefer to see all CDs in an album as one & use Tag & Rename to ensure at references to 1/2 & 2/2 are removed & track numbers are changed accordingly.

  • Album Art not synching, I have 1 iphone 4s, 1 ipad G4, 2 ipod touch G4 and 1 ipod touch G3

    Hi, I have all the aforementioned devices listed, all with the latest ios version availabe for the device and allways have the latest version of itunes installed.
    when sysnching if the album art is provided by apple, then it will synch, but if is manually added it, some time it will be transferred and some time not, do not have  idea of what can be the problem. Please help. BTW and the album art that is/not transferred is differen in each device some time some song will get it on the ipod, some times it will not to go to the iphone and so on.
    Pleae help

    The update applied to the device is the update that the device qualifies for. In your case, all of the devices you listed qualify for the now current (Dec 17, 2014) iOS 8.1.2. If you update any of the devices you listed, they will be updated to iOS 8.1.2. You cannot install an intermediate iOS version (for example, iOS 7.1.2). Even if you had the .ipsw file (iPod Software Update) for your particular device with the version you wanted to update to, the update would fail as Apple checks the device along with what iOS version it's qualified for at the time of the update. If the iOS version you are trying to update the device to is older than what is current for your device, the update will not proceed.
    You can always choose to stay at your current iOS version on your devices and they will run/work just as before. However, if you want to run more recent apps that require iOS 7.x - iOS 8.x, you will need to update the device to iOS 8.x

  • Why can't i directly cut and paste album art

    The older I-Tunes was able to cut directly and paste album art pictures, (when the find album album art auto feature failed) I now have to save album images to my hard drive,' Apart from the new coloured (I spell Colored with a "U" as I'm British)  icon Red instead of blue the rest of it is just the same 

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)
    The new icon is the least of the changes.

  • Album art not transferring to N85

    It's a small problem but kind of a nuisance. I don't understand why, when I transfer music to my N85, the album art is not transferred with it.
    I do it using sync from windows media player 11.
    Any solutions, anyone?

    Use the search discussions and type Album art and you will find these:

  • Album Art not showing up?

    Has anyone else had a problem with their album art not showing up in coverflip? These are all CD's that I own and ripped onto my computer with iTunes, and if I look at them in iTunes I can see the cover art. But when I turn my ipod sideways to flip through the albums, I see a bunch of black squares. Some of the albums I can see the artwork when it's not the selected album, but if I scroll to it, the art disappears and it's just an empty black square. The only albums where this seems to work properly are the ones I bought and downloaded digitally through iTunes, but most of my music collection is CD's, so I'm really hoping there's a way to fix this.
    I've already tried googling pictures of the album art and re-tagging the songs with the picture on there, and it does do a sync afterwards, but I'm still seeing black squares. I also tried deleting one of the albums from my ipod entirely, and reloading it, and that worked the first time I went into coverflip, but in subsequent tries it has reverted back to being just a black square.

    use the search discussions box. there are loads of threads on this. you definitely aren't alone
    the only real solution i've seen is to re-sync the problem tracks, i've probably missed some though, so it's worth looking around.

  • Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

    I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
    Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
    If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

  • Album Art Not Displaying/Disappearing

    I've had the iTouch for a week & all of a sudden most of the album art disappeared from the iTouch. I synced again, some came back but much of the album art does not display even though it's in the iTunes library. Also, album art is duplicated for other/different artists. What's happening? Any solutions?

    This is also happening to me.
    First the album art vanished, and then I would resync, and the album art would go to different albums.
    my Breaking Benjamin album art went on my Frank Sinatra album, and my Gnarls Barkley album.
    My 50 Cent album art went to the Brad paisley album, and the Rufus Wainwright album .This is doing this, even after I updated the iPod.

  • Installing art when "Album Art Not Modifiable"

    I was recently trying to drag and drop album artwork into the iTunes photo receptacle in the lower left hand corner and noticed that it read "Album Art Not Modifiable". Does that mean I can't paste anything there? There's no art at all currently, even when I ask iTunes to find the album art for that CD. If anyone knows of a way to override this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

    Is that really true?
    'Cause being new to this, I've only just added a few albums as .wav and succesfully downloaded album art, using the functionality within Itunes. And this should not have been possible?For instance Loretta Lynn "Van Lear Rose", Emmylou Harris "Stumble into grace" and Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach "Painted from Memory" all worked just fine. But Itunes was not able to download album art for all my albums - Simply Red "Greatest Hits" from 1996 was one that did not work. So I browsed the internet and was able to find jpegs of this album art, which I know have stored locally. But how do I get that into Itunes?

  • How do you enter and display album liner notes

    Ipod Touch, 16gig, 2nd generation. I have a sizeable jazz collection and am ripping a lot of CDs. No problem on adding album art. Question is, how can I enter album information such as side men (like the album may be Cannonball Adderley, but I want to note that John Coltrane played tenor on tracks x, y and z), when the album was recorded and where, historic facts of interest, etc. When I right click an album I've entered in the music section, I go to a page where I add my album art and I see a comments section. Is that it? But, as important, when I'm listening to the album on my Touch, how do I retrieve the notes on the Touch screen to read them?
    Thanks for any help!

    Paste the liner notes into the lyrics field in iTunes. They will then be visible on the Touch when you tap the album art (not in Coverflow)

  • Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

    I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
    I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
    I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
    I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
    I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
    But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
    Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
    How do I prevent it?
    Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
    Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
    Thank You

    Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
    I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
    Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.
