Wrong album artwork syncing to iPhone

on my Mac and from what I've seen on my iPad as well the right album artwork displays but on my iPhone it seems to like mix up the artwork on some songs, some downloaded from iTunes, some ripped from a CD, like I might have a song from Adele but on the iPod and also on the lock screen it will show maybe the artwork of Jack Johnson! I mean its not a big deal but does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you

It gives you the ability to use multiple computers to manually add your own music, i.e. music you have legitimately acquired, to your iPod. For example, I have 2 computers, I manually manage my music on my iPod Classic so I can hook it up to my MacBook Pro and put songs on that I don't have on my Mac Pro.
I also has a car that will go much faster than the speed limit. Just because it gives me that ability does not allow me to drive 120 mph on a local street.

ITunes will not sync all album artwork to my iPhone

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, some of my album artwork will not sync to my iPhone even though it's on my iMac. Songs that I have gotten from places other than iTunes, such as CDs, sync their album artwork to my iPhone without a problem. Songs that I have purchased from iTunes after updating my iPhone sync their album artwork as well. The only songs that will not sync their artwork to my iPhone are the songs that I've purchased from iTunes before updating to iOS 5. Any suggestions?

You have to turn your iPhone on otherwise it wont work.

IPod displaying wrong album artwork; connectivity issues

I have an iPod Classic 80GB, model #A1238. It's a little over 2 years old. I use it on a PC with Windows Vista. And I am currently using the latest version of iTunes.
My iPod is pretty much at full capacity (music only!)-- if I want to add something, I have to delete something else. Lately, a lot of the new music I add displays the wrong album artwork in my iPod (even though everything's correct in iTunes). Usually, the recently added songs/files displays the artwork of another recently added album... but now, my recently added albums are displaying artwork for other, "older" and random albums in my iPod library! It's driving me crazy since my iPod is so neatly organized!
I have a feeling it has something to do with syncing? For the past year or so, I have had issues connecting my iPod to my computer. From time to time I get one of those "this device can perform faster" messages. That sometimes leads to other error messages about not being able to eject my iPod b/c the "device is in use," or I get an excessively long period of syncing or "verifying" my iPod. When those things happen & I'm stuck in a certain process, I typically try manually ejecting the iPod... and when that doesn't work, I restart my iPod.
In fact, I've been restarting my iPod a lot these days. I try to restart it every time I'm about to plug it into my computer to remove/add new music (I figure it might not have issues with wrong album art if it gets kind of a "fresh start!"... and that only works some of the time).
So what do you think the problem is with the album artwork?!? It seems so trivial, but it really drives me crazy-- I really love looking at the artwork, as silly as that may sound! I've heard that I might have to restore my iPod back to factory settings, but I'm REALLY hesitant to do that-- I have about 16,000 songs on my iPod & to get them back, I'd have to re-import my many, many CDs! It will probably take days! I'm also afraid I might start having the same old issues if I start getting those error messages about the device performing faster (I feel like all my little complications arose from those issues).
Some things to keep in mind: If it's not clear already, I manually manage my iPod's music library-- I don't sync entire libraries or playlists or anything. And most of my album artwork is downloaded automatically when I import CDs or purchase music from iTunes. Once in a while I manually add the album artwork (like, I find the album art from the Internet, copy it, right click my song files on iTunes, select "get info" & manually paste the image in the artwork box). That sometimes helps, but those files can still sometimes display incorrectly in my iPod, ditto song files purchased from iTunes (though more often than not, I don't have issues with those files' artwork).
Lastly, is it bad for me to be repeatedly restarting my iPod?
Any help would be much appreciated!! (And be forewarned: I am NOT too tech-savvy!)

The only way to get things resolved will be to restore your iPod. Since, as you imply, you've been manually managing your iPod and not keeping copies of your media on your local hard drive, you will need to recover the content from your iPod before you restore. There are plenty of threads here detailing just how to do that. If you haven't got the space then you will need to start, I guess, by buying an external drive big enough to hold all your media in one go.
Your iPod shouldn't need resetting on a regular basis. For myself I found that when I had a large number of playlists on the iPod (basically everything in my library at the time) it was more likely to freeze when playing games or even moving around the menus so I cut down the number and complexity of those I put on the device which seemed to fix things.

How can I remove "Album Artwork" from my iPhone and iPad?

I've posted about this before in other threads, but the silence from Apple has been deafening, Others in the community have agreed with the request but haven't been able to answer it.
I thought a thread of its own might get attention, since Apple won't talk to me otherwise.
I use music on my iPhone and iPad a lot, playing through speakers in my study or through the car system. It worked well at first, until I updated the operating systems.
Now, where I used to have a list of albums, music, or playlists I have large blank areas where album artwork would go if there were any - which in most cases there isn't. The iPad used to display 50 or more playlists in one screen,with some details of them. Now, it shows 15 blank squares with a crotchet on them, and the name of the playlist. That really isn't much use.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can there be a way to turn OFF album artwork on the iPhone and iPad? It wastes an enormous amount of screen space for stuff I don't have and don't want. It's a very unwelcome new "feature" (ie "bug").

Apple does not participate in these forums, so that would explain why you have not received a response.
I am not aware of a way to turn off Album art on the devices. If you want to let Apple know of your desire for this setting, go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. That is where you communicate with them. They will receive the feedback, however they do not respond to it.

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

Why won't iTunes sync album artwork to my iPhone?

Today, I plugged my iPhone 3GS into my Windows 7 (32) computer. iTunes pops up and tells me that another computer is handling my library. Long story short- My phone loses everything. I decide to take this as a oppurtunity to fine tune my phone's library and I start dragging music to my phone. All of my music appears on the phone but none of the albums include any artwork. When I select an album from the iTunes library the artwork is present. When I take that album and drag it to my phone, the artwork doesn't come with it. Why? Is there some way to get the album artwork to show up on my phone without manually adding the 204 album covers one by one?

Similar problem with the new iPad. Could not sync H.264 1080p video.
Tried to move as both video and photo but received error message both times. Confirmed CODEC was H.264. The same video rendered as H.264 720p would sync. Also, if the same video was rendered as as a MOV file (much bigger file), the file would sync.
Purchased iMovie and iPhot for iPad but they were no help. Furthermore, in iTunes, adding 1080p video for transfer to iPad using both apps seemed to work (iPad memory decreased and files appeared in iTune transfer area) but could not find the files on the iPad using any app.
Apple tech support was courteous but could not help. Bottom line: If iTunes would get out of the way, the iPad would be useable.

Why can I not see album artwork on my iphone but I can on itunes

I have downloaded album artwork onto itunes, however some of it is not downloading onto my iphone. How can I get the album artwork onto my phone?

On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes. That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option. So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history. I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me. And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
Thanks for asking.

Can't get new photos added to existing iPhoto albums to sync with iPhone

I tried talking about this in the iTunes area, but there was no response:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20660036#20660036
I thought I'd drop by the iPhone discussion area next.
The problem in a nutshell is that I can't get new photos added to iPhoto albums to sync with my iPhone 5. I can even unselect the albums, sync, see the albums deleted on the iPhone, select the albums again, sync, see the albums recreated - but the recreated albums don't include the photos I added yesterday.
I don't know if this is an iTunes 11 bug, an iPhoto bug or an iPhone bug.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
doug

Yes, but which album will be empty?
Anyway, as soon as I saw how creating albums locally on the iPhone actually worked I said to myself, "This is not reasonable" and as much as I dislike iPhoto decided to keep doing it there until that feature is improved.
It seems like an obvious thing to improve. Then the albums can sync between the iPhone, iPhoto and other iOS devices more like "it just works" (which it doesn't do now).

I keep geting the wrong album artwork

I put the soundtrack to singles on my Itunes(http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=192995929&s=14344 1). When I hit get album artwork It downloaded some wierd electronica album cover. I searched what it said on the cover on the Itunes store (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=102738695&s=14344 1). Also when I uploaded Led Zepplin 4 It gave me the Complet Led Zepllin Cover. So how can I get the correct Album cove?

The iTunes database is messed up on those Led Zeppelin covers. THere is an older topic here on discussions about it.
Tell Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
For the Singles soundtrack, try putting Various Artists in as the artist name on one track. Get the artwork for that one track and see if it's correct.

Album Artwork missing from Iphone 3GS after upgrading to IOS 5

I just updated my phone, and the majority of my album covers have gone missing.
Is this because I do not keep any of the albums on my Itunes (lack of storage space)
Can anyone help with this?

when i first upgradexd to 5.1 (last friday) my personal hotspot was also gone - i tried all the suggestions i could find on these forums but nothing worked - mysteriosly it just cam back today - and i havent done anything like a sync or reset - im wondering if it was something the phone company did (in my case ATT)

How do I get rid of the wrong album artwork when the "get album artwork" assigns the wrong image?

My message is simply the question. Anyone know how? Thanks.

In iTunes, select the song, right click or control click and use Get Info option. In Artwork tab, select artwork and press delete,

ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

Ugh. Here I go again.
I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates.
My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
(1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch. I managed to get that fixed.
(2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined." A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
(3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch. I have 600-800 albums. All of the artwork is correct on iTunes. About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch. (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
Does anyone have a more direct solution? Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs? (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
Any ideas? All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere. It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400. Weird.

There is no way to change the media artwork on an iPhone. The instructions you found applies only to iTunes on your computer.
