Wrong artwork pasted

I pasted the wrong artwork to an album I imported to my Library, is there anyway that i can delete it, or is it always going to be there?
Windows XP

One way to do it is:
type your album into the search box
then highlight all the tracks (hold shift, then click the first track, then the last track)
right click>get info
Check the album check box, then click ok...
That seemed to work for me.

How do you fix wrong artwork?

I am downloading artwork for a 24000+ library and as I look through, I notice a lot of mistakes, particularly, but not exclusively, on compilations. One thing that happens is that on a given compilation it will download the artwork from the artist album correspnding to the first artist on the compilation and then use that for all the songs.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this? thanks

I just posted a solution for changing the artwork on multiple songs, basically you can create a playlist for the songs that are wrong and past artwork over the incorrect art.
But on the subject of songs that have multiple artists but are on the same album, I have noticed through trial and error of course, that the "Album Artist" field in the info for each song is for just that issue. That field needs to say the name of the artist who's album it is so that the correct art will be shown for that song. In most cases when all the "Album Artist" fields are the same the songs will display the correct art and act properly.
Hope this helps

ITunes album artwork - how can I stop iTunes downloading the wrong artwork?

I was delighted to see that in the upgraded iTunes there is a facility to download album artwork using, I presume, much the same methodology as downloading track listings.
While my experience of downloading track listings has largely been OK - save for the odd niggle; my experience of the artwork function has been appalling.
Firstly, any release that is territory specific, e.g. UK only, or compilations, downloads the wrong artwork or no artwork at all. But also, the wrong artwork is attributed for classic albums by established acts. E.g. Genesis' Duke, downloads the artwork for Three Sides Line. Also, I have two Led Zeppelin albums and in each case, the art work downloaded was for the cheesy tribute group DREAD Zeppelin!!
Can anyone from Apple comment on this?
Also, if I manually insert the correct artwork; will this be overwritten if in the future I scan for updated artwork across my music collection? I have 65GB+ music on my hard drive, so that is an awful lot of album covers to get through!
Thanks,
A

Manually added album art will not be overwritten.

How do I fix wrong artwork?

I have an iPhone with about 1,000 songs, a lot of them are singles and not part of any special album. I spent weeks adding artwork to all of them so when I held the phone upright (portrait orientation), when a song played it always showed the right artwork.
Normally when using the iPhone in iPod Touch mode I hold it vertically in what I call Portrait position. I noticed that when I turned the phone sideways - landscape view - that songs not part of an album did not always show the artwork for that song, or just showed a blank grey screen. One day I decided to go through those songs in the album view in iTunes and add artwork to the ones which had no artwork.
Since then almost all my song artwork has gone down the toilet. In portrait view a certain song will play but shows the wrong artwork. If I check the GET INFO feilds in iTunes the right artwork is there but it won't show in the portrait orientation.
BUT, if I turn the phone to landscape view I see the album covers rotate until the right artwork shows. Have I ruined all my hard work or can I undo whatever I did? I am not fussed about the album view, would much prefer to use the phone in portrait view and see the correct artwork which is still in the data field but just not showing.
I am using latest iTunes with Windows xp, on a 1st generation iPhone. NOTE, the program did not give me the choice of listing my hardware as a 1st gen IPhone so I listed it as an ipod touch, the closest option.
thanks

Howdy Kathleen,
It sounds like your iPhone is syncing to your library, but seems to be getting stuck on the last step. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve that issue, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Cover Flow showing wrong artwork, Now Playing showing right!

I am going to lose my mind if I don't get this figured out.
I have several files in my iTunes that show the wrong artwork in the Cover Flow. They show the correct artwork in Now Playing, as well as when I go to Get Info. The correct artwork is there, and it is the only artwork there (i.e., there aren't two different images there).
What in the world am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? I thought at one point it had something to do with marking something as part of a compilation, but I've unmarked anything that was marked as such but it didn't help...
HELP!! Thanks....

At some level iTunes sorts & groups tracks on the basis of a bunch of fields, i.e. track no. disc no. album, artist, album artist, sort album, sort artist, sort album artist & the compilation flag. (I think that's all of them.) If you have a bunch of tracks with no album name and marked as a compilation it's probably a good bet to assume they are all part of the same album. In cover flow iTunes only shows one item of art for each album hence the effect you see.
To use the old maxim, +it's not a fault, it's a feature+.

Songs Continuously Skip and Wrong Artwork

My 60g iPod is currently authorized on 2 computers. I recently moved my iTunes music folder from a 3rd computer that I deauthorized to another computer without any problems. Right after I did that, I noticed that the songs and artwork did not match up. A few days later, I connected it to the other computer and downloaded new podcasts. I did nothing to the songs on the iPod. Now, the new podcasts play perfectly, but all of the songs skip from one to the other and they also display the wrong artwork. I have no idea what I did wrong. Anyone else have this problem? Do I need to completely restore my iPod? Any help would be appreciated.

On the art issue remove all songs on iPod then put them all back on.

Displaying wrong artwork

For some of my albums in iTunes, the album artwork attached is the wrong artwork. I have cleared the artwork and asked for a new download, but still shows the wrong artwork. Is there a way to correct this? The albums are in the itunes store just mapping to the wrong artwork.

It's easy to search out and add artwork manually. Just type the album title and artist into your browser and hut return, then select images. You can even fine tune the selection to find high resolution art work.
Then select your track or all the tracks fom an album, the Command I the drag the artwork into the artwork window.
I'd also make a folder elsewhere and drag the artwork into that too and store it on DropBox in case (as happened to me) iTunes 11 strips some of it out.

Wrong artwork with song after syncing.

my computer crashed and i had to reload itunes to a new pc, and use my touch to add the songs back to it. i then synced my touch to the new pc. everything went w/ out a hitch, but now some of my songs are displaying the wrong artwork. all my songs are purchased, and once had the correct artwork displayed. when i check in itunes, they all have the appropriate artwork in the get info, artwork tab. how do i fix this?

I don't see an answer here and this problem is driving me insane. Ios5 took a big step backwards.

Wrong Artwork Downloaded for Imported CD

I have imported Weezer's Red Album (Deluxe edition) into my iTunes library, but the artwork for their Blue Album got downloaded for it. Twice I have cleared the downloaded artwork and re-downloaded it, but the Blue Album artwork comes right back.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

OK... I just didn't know if there was a different way to try to get the correct artwork to download. It seems like they have the wrong artwork associated w/ Weezer's new album. Regardless, I grabbed the artwork from Amazon and used that instead. Thanks for the tip!

Wrong artwork being shown

This is a rarity. Some songs display the wrong album artwork. I have checked with iTunes to make sure that there isn´t a problem or corruption there and there wasn´t.
Obviously I don´t know how pervasive this problem is as I don´t stare at my iPod5 lovingly all day. Maybe I should

The artwork was attached to songs in iTunes. When I saw the wrong artwork I made a note of the song and then checked with iTunes. The artwork is correct in iTunes. One thing I have not checked to see if the song file has multiple pieces of artwork....The next time I see an erroroneous picture I will make a note and check in iTunes.
I am unsure about the randomness of the problem. I use my iPod when I am working or commuting and I haven´t checked each song as it is played. I did try to do that in the office yesterday and found that the problem is more extensive than I thought. What I haven´t tried is to go back to a problem song and see if the wrong artwork is still being shown.

Coverflow and Front Row display the WRONG artwork

I have tried all the answers I can find and also some more in depth ones as well....
(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284758)
I have made sure there is only ONE artwork in the 'get info' of the track (the correct one)
I have deleted the Album art folder (download and local) in the iTunes music folder
I have deleted cache and preferences where I could find them for both iTunes and Front Row
I have restarted!
YET the same **** WRONG artwork still shows in the COVERFLOW and when using FRONT ROW to access your music with the remote!
Can't find anything about this from Apple.... Surely this is an easy fix for Apple......?
The last changed artwork (by modify date) is the one that coverflow and Front row should use...???
iTunes displays the correct artwork, 'get info' shows there is only ONE artwork (the correct one)
I have deleted everything I can think off and yet Coverflow and Front Row still display the old, incorrect artwork! and get this... if I delete the artwork completely, so it is the default "no artwork" icon that itunes displays Frontrow and coverflow STILL display the old incorrect one!
Reading these forums I am amazed that something as basic and integral to the iTunes/iLife experience has been so blatently ignored and left to the users/forums to muddle through!
Come on Apple! get your act together! this is crazy...
I am NOT the only one with this problem!
ANYWAY.... any advice?

Me Also.
Right now I only notice it on one album.
Both the song playing and the artwork in the info box are correct, it's only coverflow that is wrong.

IPod Touch shows the wrong artwork when playing songs

Recently my iPod Touch has just decided to display all the wrong artwork when playing songs. For example I will be listening to Chris Brown and It will be showing a picture of a Jay-Z album. How do I fix this?!
I've read that all you have to do is 'uncheck "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.'.. however I manually add the songs onto my iPod so I can't uncheck the music option as it's already unchecked!
Please help, my iPod looks so ugly showing the wrong artwork lol

First:
SOLUTION(FIX): Editing Song titles and...: Apple Support Communities
Then:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Music Video displays wrong ARTWORK. Displays a POSTER FRAME rather than the JPG that I have given it.

I am using ITunes 11.05.5 on Windows 7 Professional.   Have thousands of videos ... MP4 Music Videos.   I make my own "ARTWORK" (on JPG per artist for all music videos by that artist). I place the artwork in the file by "GET INFO", "ARTWORK", copy in my own JPG Image.    I confirm that there is only one image in the ARTWORK and that it is the correct image.   When I save and go back to the GET INFO everthing is fine.   When I view it in MS Explorer or in ID3-TAG the ARTWORK is also fine.   This process works fine for most everything but unexplainably fails and I can't fix it on certain occasions.
THE FAILURE:    Let me explain the problem that occurs on rare occasions (and once it occurs I can't ever fix it).   Lets say I have 5 music videos from the artist, John Jones.    I embed my own artwork (the same ARTWORK for all music videos from this same artist, John Jones) and all five videos group under the proper. same ARTWORK in the GRID VIEW.   Now, I obtain another music video from John Jones, once again I put the same ARTWORK on this file and now when I go into GRID VIEW it displays a POSTER FRAME (of that artist, John Jones) that I have never seen (although it must have come from the video since it is a POSTER FRAME of John Jones) ..... from that point on, all six music videos from John Jones also display that same ARTWORK (the wrong poster frame - but same poster frame for all John Jones music videos) even tho the first five were displaying properly before (but not longer).     It is as if a POSTER FRAME of John Jones is in cache and associated with the artist John Jones and can not be deleted.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes, but it doesn't work.    I have tried deleting the new Music Video that I added and that started the problem (number six); hoping the the original five would return to nomal ... but that does not work.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Skipping songs and wrong artwork - Restore or reload to cure

I've had a 60G colour 4G for a few months now. So far on three occasions I've noticed that certain songs have the wrong album art (swapped with others in my collection) and some songs are just skipped over when playing.
Turning off 'display album art on iPod', re-syncing and then turning it back on and re-syncing, cures the artwork problem. But to cure the un-playable tracks problem, I have to remove all music and add it again. I've done this with (and without doing) a Restore.
Is this what other people have found with skipping tracks?
Has anyone else noticed the swapped artwork?
Better yet - why does this happen and how do I stop it?

I'm overwhelmed...
So I guess nobody else has artwork problems combined with skipping tracks?
