Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

  • IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
    I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
    running through songs on iPod
    I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both
    Please Help me, someone!!!

  • IPod Nano (1st gen) Displays Incorrect album art.

    I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride with my nano when I realized it was showing incorrect album art for some of the songs. I have not noticed any pattern. I also have a 60gb photo that IS showing the correct album art so I'm pretty sure its just the nano (I updated them both today to check, and still same situation). I have tried restarting the iPod already. Anyone know what I should do?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    iTunes 6
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    iTunes 7
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Tracks often displaying incorrect album art in playlist and podcast modes

    Strange one this, and not at all consistent.
    I'm often noticing that the album art for another unrelated album is being displayed when I am playing music from a playlist or playing a podcast.
    Any ideas how to stop my iPod Touch doing this, and to display the correct artwork?

    I too have the exact same problem, and pretty often too. It's really a pain when I've taken the time to find almost all of the correct artwork for all 18,000+ songs (92+ GB) in my iTunes library, and yet it won't be displayed correctly on my iPhone. I've tried countless reset's, restore's, starting fresh with a new library, etc. Nothing I can think of works. Does anyone have a successful solution? I sometimes get an error when trying to update my iPhone 3GS with the number (-6999) at the end of it. I'm wondering if there's any correlation there...

  • Wrong Number of Songs On My iPod Shown/Incorrect Album Art

    I have two things that are wrong with my iPod Touch 4G that are bugging me and I don't know what to do about them. One thing is that the number of songs I have on my iPod is incorrect. When I go into the Settings menu > General > About it currently states that I have 55 songs when I don't, I have way less than that. Does anybody why this is happening or what can be done about it? Second of all, for some of the songs I have on my iPod, the album art is incorrect. It shows a video clip from a video I have on my iPod instead of the album art it should have. I don't know why it's like that now, it wasn't like that before, it used to have the correct abum art. Can anything be done about this?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • Ipod displays wrong album art & skips entire songs since updating to 1.2

    I recently got the new itunes update and the ipod update 1.2, and ever since that it has been skipping entire batches of songs and shows wrong album art for the songs that DO play. I have a 30 Gig Video
      Windows XP  

    Try this: Open itunes> plug in your ipod> select your ipod icon> click the music tab> uncheck the box that says display alblum artwork (unless its already unchecked)> click apply> check the same box again> click apply. If all else fails you can restore your ipod and the artwork will come with it.

  • IPod displays random album art that I've never added or downloaded

    I've noticed sometimes that album art on my iPod would be missing or displaying art from another album or track in my library but what I noticed today is really confusing me.
    I've noticed a couple of albums so far are displaying weird images that I've never downloaded or added to iTunes. They aren't from another album, track or podcast. One is of the Golden Girls posing with their Emmys! How did this random artwork get applied to tracks on my iPod? The artwork is perfectly fine in iTunes and the thumbnails in the iPod's list view tend to be correct as well. It only shows up when I play the track or album.
    No one has been using my iPod, plus I have a passcode on it. It seems like a restore is in order but I'm just curious to know if others have had this problem and know the cause.

    I'm not running iOS 5 but it could be related to iTunes. The artwork seems to be completely out of the blue but I'm still seeing regular artwork being mixed up from album to album. The other weird images I don't recognize could possibly be from chapters in some podcasts that I never noticed before, I suppose.
    A full restore of the iPod is likely the only solution to this fix I would guess.

  • Ipod displays the album art BLACK

    I've got a 80GB ipod video 5th generation, and some songs of some albums appear black... but on the pc they are just fine.... what the **** is going on?
    All my songs have the correct art on them... but some appear as a black box on the ipod. HEEEEEEEEEEEELP

    i have the same problem for ages since itunes 7.2 and 7.3 arrived i guess, but no techy apple guy can give an explanation or fix this bug even on itunes 7.4.
    when your artwork is on itunes it's fine, by copying it to your ipod will get the exact copy at first. but when you edit the artwork direct on your ipod, say maybe you changed the artwork, it will display black after disconnecting.
    now before getting into trouble and taking hours of restoring your ipod, you may simply delete that file from your ipod and drag a new copy from itunes library. with this you'll see the artwork perfectly.
    on a last note i also find annoying that you can no longer customize what fields you can view (rating, last played, date added, etc.) on your ipod settings when you plug it into itunes. the settings are at default everytime you connect your ipod.
    i hope this helps. seems apple is not listening to our little concerns which we all find annoying.

  • Creative Zen 2 Gig displays incorrect album a

    My creative Zen 2 G with the current firmware stores incorrect album art for artists that have the same album name such as "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits", The only way around it is to rename all of my greatest hits to something unique such as Rolling Stones Greatest Hits, I have thoousands of these songs tagged that way.
    Any Ideas?

    It is listed at the top of the forum to read the FAQ before posting. I don't work for Creative though, so am not responsible for the other content.
    I don't know why your files aren't working. The theory is that as long as the files are tagged with this, and you are queuing them via the album part of the music library, they will queue in order. If they aren't queuing then there's either some specific bug with the player, or there's something wrong with your files. You might want to try another tagging program to double check that it isn't some issue with the way MP3Tag writes its files, and also make sure to remove the v tag just in case this is causing an issue.

  • IPad doesn't display correct album art

    I could really use some help here, I am at the end of my rope.  I have HomeSharing on so that my iPads and iPhones will play music and movies from our iTunes library.  I have an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4S, an iPad 4 and (2) iPad 2 models.  Both iPhones and the iPad 4 will display the correct album art in the movies but the iPad 2's scramble up the album art.  For instance on the iPad 4 shows the Aladdin album art where it says Aladdin is but on the iPad 2 (both of them) it will display random album art.  So you'll be looking at a picture of Bug's Life but the line states that the movie is Aladdin.  Now when you select that movie and it enters the info page where the play button is, the album art comes up correctly.  It's just in the title screen or selection screen this happens.  Then to add to that, the music and music videos all displays fine, the correct album art every time.  For some reason, this is only happening in the movies.  And again, only happening on the iPad 2's.  There is no issue with the newer iPad or the iPhones.  So is this a setting that is goofed?  A software issue that I can't resolve?  I would appreciate any input you can provide, especially if you can help me fix this!! 
    FYI, the iPad 2's are my daughter's so I have the PG restriction on making sure that they can't watch anything PG-13 or over.  Although it won't display a PG-13 or over movie, it will display the album art (for instance it will show Hills Have Eyes instead of Aladdin although the text shows Aladdin and again, if you click on it the correct album art shows Aladdin in the info screen).  I thought maybe the restrictions were the problem so I shut them off but that didn't resolve the issue.

    Me Too. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this...
    I can't explain it. All my songs show the correct art in iTunes but it's often mismatched on the Nano. I've noticed that selecting a problem track in iTunes, get info and clicking "ok" on the already correct art, sometimes corrects the issue (for that one track) on the Nano after the next sync.. but not always.
    p.s. Other posts say "restore" is the answer. I'll try that tonight.

  • Problems displaying SOME album art for Home Movies in iTunes 11.1.4

    I have a number of home videos in my iTunes 11.1.4 library on my Mac.  I have manually added album art to each video, but only about half the movies actually show the album art when viewing the movies from the Home Videos tab in iTunes.  The other half of the movies just show a frame of the movie.  I double checked Get Info for the movies that aren't displayed the album art and confirmed that the album art is listed.  All the album art I uploaded is of the same size and file type.  Not sure why half the art displays and half doesn't.  Anyone else see this before?  I'm puzzled.
    Thanks

    I don't know if you got your answer this this post is from about 3 months ago. I've also been having the same issue.
    On my end, I've been keeping all of my movie files on an external drive and just as your situation, only some of them appear and some of them are missing. I don't know if it's as a result of having them on an external drive and anytime I launch iTunes, it's not always plugged in. I'd have to do a bit more testing on that.
    I did notice that as soon as I select the "Get Info" on a movie file with missing artwork and confirm that it's there in the metadata by just clicking "ok", it appears automatically in the iTunes window. Seems like a quick and easy solution for now, but not so if you have 300+ movies and you have to do the step for every other one.
    If you figured out a solution for this or what worked for you, I'd be glad to hear it.

  • How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

    How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

    I think the Sidebar preview image is gone. But found that when I'm playing music either from the entire library or a playlist you can click the tiny thumbnail at the top to open a Artwork based player that is scalable. Reduce (minimize) the main Itunes window and the player is actually Nice.  Hope that helps.

  • Front Row not displaying all Album Art

    Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and imported all the music I had to it. I started downloading all the album arts for all my albums, and finally placed them all in order. They look perfect in iTunes in Coverflow.
    Then, when I started Front Row, I noticed that not all of my songs displayed an Album Art, only some of them. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

  • Incorrect Album Art in iPod (G5, 80g)

    Some of the album art is incorrect on my iPod. It's OK in iTunes.
    The last time this happened, I had to restore.
    Is there another way?

    Thanks for the reply. At least I know that other iPod owners have the same problem. For the time being, I've tuned off album art on my iPod.
