Songs and album covers don't match up?

On my 4s, when I enabled Icloud and downloaded my music library something got out of sync. Now, most songs don't match up to the album cover etc. displayed on my screen. I have tried deleting and downloading again and the problem remains. Any suggestions?

Album cover images depend on whether you downloaded the album/song off the pre-installed iTunes store on the iPod or you downloaded an mp3 from your computer into iTunes then synced it to the device, the only solution in this case without consulting apple help directly would be to try purchasing a song or album from the on-device iTunes store and seeing if you get a cover image then, otherwise I'd seek help from apple themselves as it may be a software issue and you could possibly get your device looked at or replaced under your 1 year warrantee. That is if your still covered.
hope this helps, olly.

1. Make sure you are using the latest software
2. Sign out, reboot and sign in again
3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
4. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
5. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

On my phone the album covers don't match the songs.

I don't have Itunes Match so that is not the problem. I tried resyncing it but I'm not completely sure I did it right since nothing changed.

I have the same problem.
When I upload new music on my iphone, the album covers are all unmatched! In iTunes files are correct and if I put the same songs into my iPad, the covers are all alright. Another "funny" (not at all) stuff is that if I erase and then reupload the same song, cover art are different from the ones uploaded before... Everything started when I upgraded my iOS to 6.1.4.
I think this is a software bug, please check and provide a solution!

Click to play a song and album covers start to multiply!

Two new issues with my iTunes. When I click to play a song for some reason the album cover will start to multiply and I will have 3 or 4 duplicate album covers. This ISN'T an organizational issue. I am incredibly meticulate when it comes to organizing my iTunes, so incorrect album info is not the problem. Also recently I tried to play a song and it wouldn't load, even though it is in my library. So I removed the entire album from my library, and then added the whole album folder again, but the only song that will load is the one that wouldn't origionaly play. Now it won't add the album, even if I try to do it song by song. When I click to add, it just doesn't do a thing. The file directory and path is correct, and the files do exist on my computer because I can play them in windows media player.
Any help here would be very apprecieated.
Cheers,
Kurt

My best guess would be to reset the iPod by holding the home and power button for about 15 seconds or until Apple logo appears. No data will be lost in this reset.
Other than that, I do not know what the cause could be.

HT5622 After installing iTunes Match I have lots most of my iTunes songs and albums help please

After installing iTunes Match I have lost most of my songs and albums help?

iTunes Match on the computer will not change the library content. The iTunes Match 3 step process must complete on the computer based library before being associated with any IOS devices.
It is always important to make a secure backup of your Song files prior to these activities.

Album Covers aren't matching up

The album covers don't match with the correct albums on the iPad. They are correct on the computer in my iTunes account but not on the actual iPad itself. Any ideas on what to do??

Delete the music by syncing with iTunes with the music unelected then re-select the music and sync with iTunes to place the music back on your iPad.

I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.

If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
This is all covered in the User's Guide.

How do I stop Genius from recommending songs and albums that are already in my iTunes music library?

With greater and greater frequency, Genius is recommending songs and albums that are already in my music library. Up to 80% of the recommendations!. I am hesitant to give these suggestions a thumbs down, as I like the songs (afterall, I own them) and don't want to give the impression that I don't like the artist, genre, etc. as I appreciate how Genius works, when it does work.
I have updated Genius and updated iTunes Match, to no avail.
This quirk -- recommending music already in my library -- used to be a rare event. Now, most of the recommendations I get are for music I already own.
How can I fix this?

To be a little bit more accurate the said book sits in my Documents on my Macbook, purchased through iTune for free in iTunes Store>Books. I can find it with Finder on my Macbook. It says it is in my Documents but it does not appear in the Documents folder in my Dock. Great! Even the iTunes Store says it is downloaded already. And why when I search for it with Finder on my Mac and click on the result does a window open up full of comoter language? I need some help.

Album illustrations don't match

Since a while the album illustrations don't match up on my iPhone. They're synchronised on iTunes, but when I play music on my iPhone, I never get the right album illustration. What's up with that?

Ok did some searching and found this stuff,
This happened to me. Go to where it says "show album art on ipod" in itunes. Uncheck that and sync. When it is done, go back and re-check the box and sync again. It worked for me.
and
what i did was go into itunes:
-devices
-music
then click on settings and ticked replace all items when auto-filling
then i clicked auto fill and it worked!!
this is itunes version 10 and using iphone 4
im still looking for more info, see if this works!
I never had this problem with my ipod touch?

Why is iTunes automatically changing edited song and album information?

Hi guys, I've seen this question asked several times but I haven't seen an answer or advice that specifically relates to the problems I've been having with my iTunes library of late.
I've got a pretty big collection of music on iTunes - almost 1000 albums - and I'm pretty anal about the way it's stored and managed and I regularly change the song and album information to suit my own "house style". All my music was stored on a Dell laptop and was fine - I had no problems with changing and editing the information. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and shifted all the music files from the old machine onto the new one (a lengthy and frustrating process) and since then, I've had a lot of hassle in terms of amending and organising my iTunes collection. A lot of the music I've purchased from the iTunes store has reverted back to its original state, no matter how many times I've changed it.
For example:
Lana Del Rey's Born to Die (Deluxe Version). I've removed the "Deluxe Version" from the title but I quit iTunes or sync it with my iPod, it automatically adds it back. I've changed the information in the song info, I've even changed it in the sort info just to be sure, but it always changes back.
The same with the Anthems Electronic 80s compilation. I want to call it Ministry of Sound: Electronic 80s and remove it from Various Artists (by deleting the album artist from the information). But after iTunes is quit or its been synced, the same thing happens. It appears as two albums on my iPod - a handful of tracks appear under the old title while the bulk of them appear under the new one.
It's happening across loads of albums, all ones I've downloaded (the stuff ripped from CDs seems to be okay). I've done as much as I can in terms of the song info but no matter what I do, it just reverts back when the programme's quit or I sync my iPod. I don't know if it's anything to do with the fact they're in the Cloud or they've been imported from a Dell laptop or there's an underlying problem with iTunes (a couple of posts elsewhere on this forum suggest it might be the case) but it's really frustrating.
I apologise for the length of my post but I wanted to be as thorough as possible to outline the problem. If anyone's in a position to offer me any advice, I'd be hugely grateful!

A handful of others have complained about this recently. Seems to happen to iTunes Store purchases only. Somehow they are connecting back to the Store and refreshing label information. There may be a solution but few seem to try experimenting with settings to see if something stops it.
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
Until then send feedback to Apple:

Can't purchase and download app songs and albums..

When ever I have to put my password in to buy download an app, purchase a song and album a please try again or unable to purchase/download the app or song pops up every time. The other day I pre-order an album and the error message came up but it said I already purchase the songs you were able to buy but it's not in music folder. Anyone experience this before this error message?

Do you live in Canada? If so, you will need a credit card to purchase apps. Gift cards can only be used for music, movies, television shows and music videos.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

From and/or subject don't match msg body

Hello all. Two weeks ago I posted this problem under a different head, but got no replies, so let me try again as it is messing up maybe 5% of my email.
Every morning I collect email--from 40 to 70 messages, many forwarded from Gmail--and message filtering usually works efficiently to transfer from Inbox to folders. But somewhere along the line, 1 to 3 emails get muddled together: the from and/or subject don't match the text, and sometimes the displayed text includes the Msg Source, including text, from some other, unrelated email.
I've been using FF and TB for more than 10 years now, and believe this kind of email muddling dates only to the last couple months. I use the latest Thunderbird under Windows 7 on a Dell desktop. I have 4 hopefully innocent addons. Of course I can send screenshots and forward the message source for analysis.
Hoping this time to attract attention to the problem! Thanks!

This is an indication of file corruption. Lack of maintenance on your email folders is the usual cause of this.
You can try to repair the file tables and see if that helps. Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad.
Right click the problem folder. Select Properties and then Repair Folder.
Then read this article about best practices to help prevent this in the future.
