Wrong album covers can't be deleted

Hi
I have stubborn wrong album covers that can't be changed or deleted in my itunes library / covers view. The Info-> Artwork view is ok! They only show up in the covers flow..
Fixes tried:
delete artwork. replace artwork, add artwork, move song to desktop - delete in itunes - reimport (nope)
The same album cover shows for several different songs/artists, I think it's just one - that was grabbed by itunes "get album covers" (and can you imagine how annoying it is to see "robbie williams escapology" for a bunch of alternative music songs..)
Ideas?

Thanks Rob,
I had similar problem, where the Cover Flow artwork was not even close to the artwork. I went into iTunes info, as suggested,and unclicked the box "Part of a Compilation". So, far I've had to go in to each incorrect song separately. It was frustrating me, until that great suggestion. I would track down the CD artwork I wanted; it would show up correctly in the Now Playing window (lower left) in iTunes, but the Cover Flow was way off...the crazy thing was I couldn't find the incorrect artwork in the iTunes artwork window...it would be blank; even when I dragged the correct artwork into that window, it would NOT override it, UNTIL I discovered The Secret! Again, UNCHECK the box labeled Part of a Compilation. I tried grouping 2 or more incorrectly labeled songs, but that didn't seem to work. So far, it looks like you can do it, but it's ONE at a Time. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone found a quicker way, do tell...I've got thousands of tunes to pour through.

  • Embeded artwork - how to remove wrong album covers

    I wish to replace wrong embedded artwork with correct album artwork from google etc - how do I do this?
    VMT - RTD

    Select all the tracks of the album, right-click (option-click on Mac) and click *Get Info*. Paste your new artwork into the square artwork box and click OK. If you just want to remove incorrect art for now, tick the checkbox while leaving the artwork box blank and the art will be removed.

  • How To Delete Album Covers in iTunes?

    Sometimes I want to delete the album covers I have for songs in iTunes. How do I do that? It'll add more than one cover but I can't seem to delete old or unwanted, or wrong album covers! Help!
    Lee

    Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library hold down the Command (⌘) key and click on each of the songs you want to highlight).

  • My album covers are messed up on the Iphone, but not one Itunes....

    I don't know what's going on, but basically, alot of the albums/artists have the wrong album covers...ie, I see an album using another artist's album cover, sometimes for more than one artist. I can have up to 3 different albums all using the same image, but in itunes, the artwork is correct.
    Only in my iphone is it messed up...any solutions? Thanks.

    I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
    At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
    I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
    I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

  • The album covers on my new downloads are wrong on my iphone, but correct on my itunes account, how can i fix?

    The new AC/DC I downloaded has Adele and Aldo Nova (current songs on my iphone) as the album covers, how can i fix them to the correct ones.  In my itunes account they are correct, just not on my iphone 4s.

    So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner.  When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first.  The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app.  HELP?

  • Album Art - How can it be deleted?

    After not being able to get iTunes to retrieve the album artwork for a few of my songs automatically, I searched for the album on the Internet and found a picture there. But by accident I dragged the wrong photo into iTunes and now there are two photos there for one song, but only one of them that I want there. How can I delete the other unwanted picture? Thanks!
      Windows XP  

    Find the song in iTunes, right click on it and select "Get Info". When the box opens, click on the "Artwork" tab. When this screen opens with the album artwork, click on the delete button.

  • Can i use my album covers as a screensaver

    MAybe an idea for the next version (7.0.2?) of Itunes, to ensure that you can have your own album covers collection as a screensaver on your computer?

    Actually, there is a way to limit the amount of space Time Machine uses for backup so that it won't eat up all your disk space...for example, I have mine set to only use 65GB, and then it starts to overwrite older backups...Google it for more info. To begin with, I deleted my Sparse Disk Image Bundle from Time Capsule, and used Disk Utility to create a Sparse Disk Image Bundle (turn off backups first!!!) with a capacity of 65GB in HFS Journaled, Case Sensitive...The Image must be named as follows "Full Computer Name_Ethernet MAC Address" (The ethernet MAC address is used even if you plan to solely use wifi for backups). for example, my Sparse Disk Image Bundle name is "Ahmad Atiya's MacBook Pro_00254b9d8f72.sparsebundle" Move this image to your time capsule's main directory (if you didn't create it there to begin with). Go to your Time Machine preferences, turn it on, and set it to use your Time Capsule. It should start using the image you created. If you click "get info" on the disk image, it'll show a capacity of whatever you created.

  • Is There Any Way to Stop iTunes from Deleting Album Covers?

    I have just spent hours organizing my music library, only to close iTunes for a moment and open it again to find half my album covers have been deleted. I know how to fix it, but you can imagine my frustration. "Get Album Artwork" seems to have stopped functioning as well, so thats manually fixing around 30 albums. I've seen people ask about this problem before. It's happened to me before but never to this extent. My main questions are:
    1. Why does this happen?
    2. How can I stop it from happening in the future?

    I guess there's no way to make it stop, judging by the lack of any response.

  • Something is wrong with my Ipod touch and its album covers

  • I have a iPhone 4 and I can't delete my pictures in the albums. Can anyone help me??

    I have a iPhone 4 and I can't delete the pictures in the photo albums. Can anyone help??

    There are two ways to get rid of them on your iPhone:
    1.  Get rid of them on your computer, and then sync your iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    2.  Plug your iPhone into your computer, open iTunes, click on your iPhone's row on the left, go to the "Photos" tab on the top right, and uncheck "Sync Photos", then click "Apply" in the lower right.

  • 1st I'm legally blind hard to search your database. Issue = when I upgraded to firefox v4.0.1 Album covers on Amazon can no longer be seen on screen. They can be seen using Explorer browser. What must I do to re capture this feature in Firefox?

    I have been using Firefox for sometime and when latest version was available I upgraded to the new version 4.0.1. After the upgrade I am unable to see pictures in my browser, when viewing the amazon.com site. Before the upgrade I was able to view music album covers, movie covers, etc. beside titles descriptions and pricing information. If I return to my Explorer browser these pictures can still be viewed. Pictures do not appear when using the upgraded Firefox browser. Because I am legally blind I sometimes use the pictures to help me identify what I am looking for at a glance. Because I do not want to capture all my bookmarks or reinstall Firefox I would like to know if there is a simple fix. Thank you, DJ

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.
