Videos showing up as album art

This is really weird....I press play on my videos and they show the first frame as the album art...audio still works fine. I'm using firmware 1.0 and the same videos worked yesterday.

I have only experienced this once. It was really weird. All I did was play song in music, and then went back to videos. After that it worked fine.

  • Genius mixes showing up as album art

    I started getting genius mixes as my album art for random songs. Started with one, then all the songs in my playlist showed up with the genius mix art.
    I cleared all the art work for the songs in that playlist and nothing changes. I cleared all of those songs, synced, and then added them again and nothing changes. Its very odd and frustrating.

    Actually that is known to be a common bug in iTunes 9. I also have the same problem and what I did is turn off the Genius feature and then restore your iPod. It worked for me for about a week but then appeared again. I read in a forum that Apple engineers are working to deliver an update to fix this. I think we have to wait but give the restore idea a try, it may work.

  • Movies showing up as album art

    I have "Phantom of the Opera" on my 30gb iPod, but when I go to it through movies, I get the audio, and a still picture of the WB symbol showing up as album artwork. How can I fix this? Please help.

    On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
    Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

  • Video Play Issues, Thumbnails/Album Art Only Comes On

    So in a fit of frustration, my bf has given up on trying to fix his iPod.
    Problem? When he goes to play a video, it doesn't play. Instead the screen will look like it's playing a song, and a clip of the video is the album art or thumbnail. There's no movement, it's just a clip. We're done the resetting thing, adjusted the TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen options back and forth. We're not trying to connect to a tv just trying to watch a video on the iPod. It was working fine two days ago but not so much today.
    Any help?

    Here try this and see if it solves the problem: go into your iPod, choose video's or movie's ( on the main screen) , then go to video settings and make sure "TV Out" is set to "off"... now your iPod should play video.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

    I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
    And can happen with artist and other tags.
    probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
    I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

  • Using iTunes Match, very little album art is showing

    I'm using Mavericks on a 2009 unibody (white plastic) Macbook.  This is not my main computer so I'm trying to free up storage space.  I had the idea to delete all of the music files from the Music folder and just use iTunes Match as a streaming service, just like on my iPhone and iPad.  (The music files are stored on my main Mac with multiple redudant backups.)
    I may have gotten overzealous in deleting data.  I saw an album art folder with over 1 gigabyte of data and deleted that as well.
    Now all of the music still shows up in the Album view - as it should - however very few of the tracks have any album art.  I gave it some time to see if the art would download from iTunes Match, but it's not happening (get album art is enabled in preferences).
    I had the idea to hold down the Option key while restarting iTunes and create a new library, then let iTunes Match populate it.  I don't want to download any content, I just want everything to show up with album art. 
    Will this work, and how would I remove the corrupted library if it does?

    Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
    To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
    The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

  • Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

    I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
    I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
    Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

    Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

  • Album art fails to show after 1st track

    ipod classic 80G fw 1.0.3
    The album art shows properly in CoverFlow
    When I start playing from coverflow, it shows the proper album art in the first song I play, but if I go the next song, it shows the "music notes" placeholder like there is no art in the file.
    Now for the kicker: if I press the center click from coverflow to show the track list, then start playing the album on track #2, then it shows the artwork, but if I move on to the next track, it fails to show the artwork again.
    Basically it acts like it can't find artwork when moving from one song to the next.
    All my tracks have album art embedded into them (I checked with Mp3Tag. Art size varies from about 100x100 all the way to 500x500

    I figured it out. Thanks to going click happy on the interface. Click on Advanced, then Get Album Artwork". It will then tell you to login and a warning that the song info will get sent to Apple. I've been trying to move my songs over to this thing on and off for months. I really think Android is the way to go as forcing you to convert your songs to a format that takes your rights to play a song away is rediculous. No ringtone using my own songs... seriously? My ancient Blackberry had that option with no special software necessary, you just put your music in a folder and let there be sound! I'm not upgrading to the new iPhone.

  • Album art does not always show.

    I posted this question before, but never found an answer.
    Album art works most of the time, but not always.
    After ripping a CD, I highlight all songs, get the info dialog, and drop the album art on the info dialog. This works most of the time. But not always. Sometimes, there is a song on a CD that does not appear to have any album art at all. Sometimes it shows the incorrect album art that iTunes had automatically downloaded.
    For example, I'm just listening to my "Ultra Dance 02" album on my iPod. I remember that after ripping, iTunes incorrectly added album art for "Ultra.iDance 05". I fixed that by select-all, get-info, and drag-and-dropping the correct art. After syncing with my iPod, all songs show the correct "Ultra Dance 02" artwork, except for track 6, which still shows "Ultra.iDance 05"
    What's going on? How do I ensure that the changes that I make stick? And how do I fix such an error?
    Also, is there a way to associate album art with a whole album, rather than each song individually?
    -Ron.

    Even if iTunes recognized it, you cannot use iTunes to transfer from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). You need to use a third-party program. Here is an article on that topic.

    However, if your hard drive's data is in bad shape, it may be difficult to recover all of your songs files.
    Note: The hard drive may have data corruption, but the iPod may work better after you use the Restore button in iTunes. The Restore process erases the iPod and initializes the iPod's software. It won't fix a hardware problem if the drive is becoming faulty. But it may fix the problem if it is only data corruption.

  • Where did the album art display go?

    In iTunes 10.6 for Windows, the album art display in the Library column is gone. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put it back. For clarity's sake, I'm talking about the thumbnail at the bottom left corner, right under Playlists – the one that shows 'now-playing' album art or videos. What (hopefully simple) procedure am I missing, or otherwise doing wrong?
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Album Art Bugs?

    I recently purchased a 5th Generation iPod, my 5th iPod, my previous one was an iPod Photo. I am experiencing a problem with album art. If i select an album, the most recent was Madonna's new album. I've added the album art in the same fashion I have since my 3rd iPod, and It shows up perfectly in iTunes. Howerver when playing on the iPod, It will start by showing Madonna's album art, and then with switch to an 'Nsync album cover.
    This problem is not just with Madonna's album, It is now happening with EVERY song! It doesn't happen right away, however after a few songs of a playlist or album, there is Nsync's album cover again!
    Any suggestions?

    Yes there is a major bug here! I cant believe there isn't more people than this complaining about it?
    I have a 5th Generation video iPod. running on a G4 Mac.
    My problem is similar but involves random podcast images/album art taking over my pre existing song album art and not all of the songs from an album either just some of them?
    This really *****! and I don't think that this is going to be fixed with anything other than an iPod update.
    I have decided to not sync my ipod until this is fixed incase it screws with thousands of my songs and is not reversible other than manually re entering album art.
    I too would like to complain and get this new update fast tracked to fix it.
    Where do I do that?

  • My new iTunes messed up my iPods album art

    I updated my 5G video iPod... and everything seemed fine until I tried playing an album on my iPod after the update. Apparenlty if I'm playing, lets just say the song "One", by U2 on the album Achtung Baby, for example... it will play fine, BUT IT WILL SHOW ANOTHER ALBUM'S ARTOWKR WITH THE ALBUM. For example instead of showing Achtung Baby's cover for the song "One", it shows the cover for a Pearl Jam album or something.
    I have no idea how to make it stop, and just show the normal album art. I've played Mars Volta, Pearl Jam... etc... and they all show other bands album art for the albums. It seems to be entirely thrown off and doesn't know how to show an albums PROPER album art.
    Someone please tell me they know how to fix this.

    Highlight the ipods name in iTUnes. Hit the "Music" tab and UNCHECK "Display Album artwork on your ipod" then hit "Apply" in the lower right corner of itunes. THis will update your ipod. Wait for it to finish updating.
    When its done updating just CHECK the box again and hit "Apply" again and let it update.
    What happend is the ipods DB (Database) got allittle "Fudged up" and doing these steps makes iTUnes rewrite the ipods DB. Its not an issue with the update or iTUnes, its happened in other versions

  • Album Art Missing / Displaying Wrong Art

    I just updated both iTunes and my iPhone to the latest version. After I synched my iPhone, two issues occurred:
    1 - The wrong album art was displaying for the now playing song
    2 - Then after I synched again, album art is missing for all music, podcasts, video on my iPhone (it is still in iTunes)
    Anyone having the same issue or know how to fix this?

    Same here. The album are is correct in iTunes, but if I play the song from my playlist, I get the wrong picture.
    This only happens for the last playlist I created. Earlier playlists I created show the correct album art.
    I may try deleting the playlist, and recreating it.

  • IPod Album Art Mixup, Choppyness, Doesn't Sleep

    I have a few questions about my new iPod 5.5G 80GB I was hoping to have cleared up. Some of these may simply be me doing something wrong on the iPod.
    1/ When I'm scrolling through some podcasts on my iPod, as well as some music, I'll see the album art of another song, podcast, or video in it's album art part. As an example, I went to play CNET's Buzz out Loud and got the album art for Pirates of the Caribbean instead of the Buzz Out Loud logo. Is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong? How can I fix it?
    2/ I've noticed that menu scrolling and some game play (Brick, specifically) is really choppy. Almost every five or ten seconds when playing Brick and having music playing in the background, the ball will freeze in mid air for a split second. It does this when I'm scrolling through my songs too... on my iPod 2g mini silver 4gb, I never had problems with this. It may be because of my amount of music, I'm not sure. It just won't go through all of the songs instantly. I have to wait a second for it to get to the next screen of songs, almost like it's having to think real hard to load a single bit of text.
    3/ The last thing I'm having troubles with is that it won't sleep when I hold down the play button. Sometimes, it will, and sometimes it won't. Most of the time, it won't. I then have to do a hard restart to get it to sleep, because even selecting it in the menu won't put it to sleep.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Other than those three issues, I'm absolutely loving my iPod. It's a huge step up from my iPod mini!

    I have the same problem. I just bought a 80GB Video ipod a couple of weeks ago. I have the newest version of itunes. I spent hours getting all the artwork on the itunes, synched my ipod and it all worked fine and then all of a sudden after my last synch (yesterday and after the last update) the artwork is all messed up. It displays the wrong artwork for the song and artist I pick. And when I click on the artwork (from my ipod) it shows a different album/artist artwork. This is really frustrating considering I put so much time in to make sure that all the albums had the correct artwork and that they were properly organized. Anybody have any solutions or been having the same problem?
    Deleting the artwork is not an option. It shows up fine in itunes but is all messed up on the ipod and it is almost every file if not every file. So deleting and reinstalling over 7,000 songs would take forever.
