Wrong album art shows

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.

  • 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.

  • In Album View Same Album Art Shows On Mulitiple Albums

    Hi,
    When I view my music collection in "album" view in itunes 11 many of the albums I have are using the same cover art, ie the album art from a single album is being incorrectly repeated across multiple albums.
    This is not the case for all my albums as some have the correct album art showing.
    In cases of albums were the incorrect artowrk shows in "album" view if I then go into "song" view and select the first song in the album and go into "get info" and then "Artwork" I can see that the incorrect album cover is showing.  And this is the album art that is also used in the album view in itunes.
    However, if I look at the second, or sometimes the third song in the album in "get info" "artwork" the correct artwork is actually showing.
    So it looks like somehow itunes has taken one randon album cover and applied it to the first song of many of my albums, but left the correct artwork for the remaining songs of an album. 
    So the correct artwork is still "there" but it is only applied to the second and following songs of an album.
    I have hundreds of albums in tiunes and am hoping for a slick way to fix this.  As slick as Apples advertising.  I would prefer not to have to have to spend a weekend moving files around so simple is good.
    I have tried to delete all the cover art files and the get artwork again but same thing happens.
    May thanks in advance.

    Thanks for you help turingtest2.
    I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder.  one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
    I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
    I then restarted itunes.  I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly).  It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
    The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
    I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder.  Not sure if that means anything.
    Hmmm.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • 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.

  • Album art shows up as black square

    Hello all. I'm having an issue with album art on my new itouch. I've purchased albums directly from the itunes store. The first couple of days everytihg was fine, I have albums sync'd from my itouch to my itunes program on my computer. Now for some reason, album art does not show up on the itouch (where it did before). On my computer, i can see it just fine in itunes- on the itouch it shows as a black screen on album view, or when scrolling albums. It's only happening with a couple of them, but pretty annoying. I dont even get the square with the question mark when artwork is unknown or cannot be found. It's as if there is no cover. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    itunes gets wrong covers alot but i do not know what to tell you about ipod thing

  • Movie "Album Art" showing in iTunes but on on Apple TV

    I'm backing up my collection of DVDs onto my computer's hard drive so that I can have the library at the click of my Apple TV. The Apple TV is the brand new version. I added a bunch of movie covers via the Get Info > Artwork option and they are all showing up properly in iTunes.
    However, when I power up my Apple TV, its not showing up. Its showing like the first frame of the movie instead. Any idea how to remedy this? I rebooted both my computer and the AppleTV, left them off overnight, etc. Nothing seems to work.

    I gave that a shot but it didnt seem to do anything. Funny thing is I added a movie tonight along w/ the album art, etc. Same process I did as the others. The one I added tonight works fine but the ones from a few days ago dont.
    Not the end of the world, but I guess I like things to work and be uniform. If anyone else has encountered this let me know.

  • Zen Mozaic 8GB, the same Album Art shows up on every f

    My Zen Mozaic froze last Sunday but I brought it back to life using that wonderful reset button (or whatever it's called). It works as it should except for one thing - every single music file appears to belong to the same album. This might not have been an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I actually have more than one album on my player. Also, some of the tracks doesn't even belong to an album at all since I recorded them myself using Audacity. Thus, I am quite sure that something is wrong.
    The background image when playing any file changes to this album image, and when I click the white button a few times to change to the playlist, the album image pops up again (as it normally should... If the song actually belonged to the album). The image used should normally only be present on one track though this one track, according to Creative Centrale, doesn't even have an album image. :smileyvery-happy:
    I removed the song that naturally should have that album image, turned the player off and on again but the problem is still there. This never happened before the player froze. I attempted to bribe the player, but it didn't help either.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

  • Album art showing up as white box on iphone

    I have an issue with album art displaying in the ipod app on my iphone. If you take a look at the pic linked here: http://yfrog.com/0rimg0091up
    When albums dont have album art they show up with a generic grey music icon (#1 in the image), but I have albums with artwork in itunes, but the iphone displays the art as a white blank square (see #2 in the image).
    Anyone have this issue or can suggest a solution? Thanks.

    I just noticed this on my phone today.
    17 out of 360 albums have 'white box' artwork.
    I'm sure they were showing up previously, and I haven't recently synced my phone either.
    Tried turning off & turned back on, but still the same.
    Interestingly, when you actually play any tracks from the album or browse in horizontal 'cover flow' view, the artwork displays fine.
    It's only in the 'artists' or 'albums' list view that they display incorrectly.
    weird.
