Wrong Album Art Displaying

I have the iPhone 3g and updated to 2.2. Now, when I play music, the wrong album art is displayed. It doesn't happen on every song, and I checked the song information in iTunes on my Mac and they are right. When I play it on my computer, the album artwork is fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for the help!

That's strange - I find this problem on iTunes. I include the album art correctly, but sometime later a different album cover appears for the same song. I don't know how this happens.

Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

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.

Wrong Album Art Displayed

I could not find anyone who has the same problem as I do. When I play music on the iPod I love adding album art. However when I installed the latest update for the iPod I encountered a glitch when playing music on the device.
For example, if I decide to play Beck's album Odelay, a different album art is displayed on all songs in the album. However if I change the iPod screen to album art only while the song is playing, the correct album art is displayed. I don't think that this is an iTunes bug as this problem does not occur on iTunes. It occurs only on my iPod.
Is there a way to fix this bug?

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.

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.

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!

Right-hand icon from the group of four at the bottom left of the screen.

Wrong album art shows

all the sudden wrong album art is showing up for various album its all mixed up like 2pac is showing lamb of god artwork and beatles had 2pac..i use iart to get the album art

Try unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when youd iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Large Album Art Display Problem

I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

What do you do when iTunes provides the wrong album art?

What do you do when iTunes downloads the wrong album art? I haven't found an easy way to override this or notify the iTunes store about it.
I have gone in and deleted, and re-updated the artwork. I have also gone song by song and looked to see if more than one piece of artwork is associated. Neither fix this.
Specific current example is the Amon Tobin album "Chaos Theory". The artwork was correct on this until just recently. Currently the artwork downloaded is for the Chaos Theory Remix album (for both the original album, and the remix album).
Who controls this? The content publisher (e.g.-Ninja tunes)?
Thanks

Go into the track ot tracks en block and get info. Go to the artwork tab and delete the downloaded artwork. Google to find alternative artwork and then add it to the track(s).

Wrong Album Art 4 Certin Albums

When going thur the iPod on my iPhone I c a few albums with different album art(both thur coverflow & albums). But this does not happen on my laptop.Does anybody else have this problem? If anybody can help or give me an idea as to why this happens that would be a great help. Thanks a mill!

I was having the same trouble with album artwork being displayed on the wrong albums or not showing up at all even though it is correct and in place in iTunes. What i did to solve it, although a bit of a hassle, was to delete all of my music from my iPhone and sync it all back in groups of 60-90 songs at a time after the 1.1.3 update and now everything looks and works great. Hope this helps...

Album art display

Ipod 80 gig works fine, but.... With some albums, the tracks show the correct album art, but when I double click to have the art fill the entire display, a different album's art appears. It is only a problem for some of the albums on my ipod. Is there a way to correct this?

Give this a try, it usually sorts out wrong artwork problems:
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.

Coverflow shows wrong album art

I have a problem with coverflow in iTunes. Some of the album art that is shown during a song is from the wrong album e.g. when I am playing "Greatest Hits" by Stevie Ray Vaughn, it displays the cover of "Greatest Hits" by ZZ Top. I have looked at the art info on each of the tracks, and they are correct. Ideas???

I am having the same problem. Help...anyone??

Wrong album art when using PC library

I have a new iPad 2. I also have iTunes running on a PC.
On the PC, all of the album art is correct, but when I connect over Wi-Fi to my iTunes library on the PC from my iPad using the Music app, some of the albums have the wrong art work. Most are correct but some albums (which works out to quite a few) show the art work to other albums in my library.
Also, when I connect to my iCloud library from the iPad, all of the albums have the correct artwork. So, the problem only occurs when I connect to my PC's library from the iPad.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Is there a way to force the Music app to forget what it thinks it knows about my PC library so that it'll have to start from scratch?
I'm using iTunes Match on both the PC and the iPad.
I've searched the web and found some other people complaining of the same thing but always with different scenarios and the rare times a solution is suggested it doesn't seem to apply to my scenario.
iTunes v.10.5.1.42, on PC (Win 7, x64)
iPad v.5.0.1

I think I just figured out one way of forcing the Music app to start over with the library. Log into a different account, reboot, and start the Music app. Then log back into the correct account, reboot again, start the Music app, and connect to the PC library. It should start from scratch.
Perhaps there is a simpler way to accomplish the same thing.
The album art appears to be correct now.

Missing/inconsistent/wrong album art after installing iTunes 10

Ever since I installed iTunes 10, weird things are happening with the album art in my iTunes libraries and across my iPods and iPhone.
Before the update, most of my library had album art -- in fact, I had gone to the trouble of pasting it into the individual songs so that it would be "embedded" in the file.
It's still there in the library, but not on my phone or iPods, random tracks are missing artwork, or display artwork from a different track.
Makes no sense, or at least I haven't been able to figure out what the commonality is with the affected tracks. Anyone else seen this?

If all your music is in iTunes, you could try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
Alternatively if your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
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.

Album art displays very slowly!

I hope someone can help me. I called AppleCare and some guy didn't even know what I was talking about. I have a lot of music I bought at the iTunes Store which is saved in the ITunes folder via artist, then album, then tracks. I have checked the icon preview button so that my album art will display on every track. Before I updated to Leopard 10.5.3, the redrawing of the album art was very fast; now however it is slow as molasses. I would appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

This is an update to my original post. It appears my iTunes Library file is corrupted, because when I created a new iTunes library file, all my art work on my tracks displayed very fast, no slowdown at all. Also when I logged in as a different user, same thing. No problems with my album art being displayed. Is there a way of fixing a corrupted iTunes library file? I have a lot of music, videos and TV shows, all neatly arranged in various playlists I created. Just to do it over again would take me weeks. Also since I've been backing my internal drive using Time Machine, can I go back and retrieve my iTunes library file before it became corrupted? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Album art displays in ITunes but not on iPod for some album

Hi, I have setup album art on iTunes for my ipod, and in itunes all the art shows correctly.
However the iPOD just displays album art for only some of the albums, not all...
This is really frustrating Apple. How can I report or fix this problem?
Thanks
Simon

I have THE EXACT same problem. Except, I added all album art by hand, to my ipod playlist after hand-selecting all 356 songs to my nano. Only to find that when I attempted to transfer the album art to my nano even after checking and unchecking the album art option, it does not work. Does anyone know if the album art needs to be added to itunes before songs are put onto the nano?
