Wrong Cover Art on iPad

Curious situation.
I copied a playlist to iPad (New) from iTunes with all the cover art for each track.
When I play the tracks on the iPad the cover art is wrong for every track.
When I play the exact same tracks - from the iPad - using iTunes on my MacBook Pro - the cover art is perfect.
Exacts same tracks - wrong art when played on iPad, correct art when played from the iPad through iTunes on my Mac.
Any ideas?

When accessing movies using the movie app on iPad and the movie thumbnail doesn't match, go to general setting on the ipad > movie > and logout (or enter the wrong password so that it logs off) of sharing, then log back in. It will refresh all your music and movie thumbnails to match the movies you share using your home network. All credit goes to the person that posted this fix via the link above.
Not sure yet if it has to be done again after new movies are added, but it's an easy short-term fix and works better then pulling your hair out.

No volume, wrong cover art

hi,
i've installed v8 of iTunes and now have no sound. i get the message 'volume is set to lowest....' but it is not & i can listen to stuff on you tube & internet, but no sound when i play a cd either, so it must be iTunes somehow.
my sound settings in preferences are correct/on.
also, i get the wrong cover art on my iPhone & iPod. it's correct on iTunes though, but is mixed up on the gadgets.
help much appreciated!

I've been having lots of trouble getting most of my jpgs, pngs to load into the cover art spaces. It doesn't matter whether I drag or browse/choose a small photo, most of the time (90%?) the cover art won't load. I'm trying to load different art for different songs in a single playlist - I never had this problem before - any thoughts or suggestions? Oh, and often the art will show on the individual id tag, but when I use the grid or Cover Flow playlist View only a couple photos show up
Perhaps I need to go back to iTunes 7 (I installed 8 but am not using the extras in 8)? Doesn't seem to matter what size or whether they're jpgs or pngs or what - I've tried changing everything around. I'm not new to Mac ither - I've been Apple-powered since 1994. Thanks, Rachel

Metadata issues - wrong cover art, missing ratings etc

Hi,
I just bought a new iPhone 4S and upon setting up Home Sharing, I noticed that when I connect to my shared library albums and movies are displayed with incorrect cover art. In addition, the watched / unwatched status (the blue dot) for movies is wrong.
When playing music tracks, no ratings are displayed on the iPhone.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and do you know of a fix?

I am also having this issue, please fix this Apple, it all worked so well before the iOS5 update.
Ive tried fresh installs and restores yet home share video artwork is all messed up, and it seems completely random every time.The artwork shows fine when files are loaded locally onto my iPod touch 4G its only in Home Share that its wrong all the time and so annoying.

Wrong Cover Art in iTunes 7.x.

I let iTunes find the cover art for songs that I haven't gotten it for already and am now scared to death that it has replaced others that had art. As I have encountered the songs that iTunes picked the art for and it's way off. The songs are completely and accurately labeled and still I get "Three Burials OST" for "The Big Chill OST"
What is this all about?
G4 FW800, 2GB RAM, 2-DVR110s, 4-500GB HDs, 3-Monitors, 2-Turtle Doves, 1-iTTUSB Mac OS X (10.4.9) Totally Stuffed/Max'd Out with lots of great toys.

You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

Wrong cover art

Some cover art is wrong on my iPod - it picked up another CD's cover and applied it to several other CDs. How can I correct them?

Step 1. Find the album art you are looking for.
Step 2. Save the image to your computer.
Step 3. Open iTunes. (If it isn't already open.)
Step 4. Highlight the songs you want to tag with the album art.
Step 5. With the songs highlighted, right-click and choose "Get Info."
Step 6. Find the image you saved to your computer. Copy the image.
Step 7. In iTunes, with the "Get Info" box open, paste the image into the "Artwork" box.
Step 8. Click "OK."
Step 9. Sync your iPod. The correct Artwork should now appear on your songs.

Wrong 'Cover Art' - Upgraded the Art but still showing the Old one !!

Hi,
I have just added a New Episode to my Podcast ( using Garageband & iWeb, just like before ), at the same time I updated the 'Cover Art'. More glossy, attractive and original image and corrected the category, from just Education to Higher Education.
This has now passed the 'iTunes' inspection ( the new episode ) and has been included into my iTunes Podcast. Here is the problem, even though I 'UPDATED' everything, "Cover Art & Category", iTunes are still showing my OLD Cover Art and the wrong Category. Why !!!
I thought that when you added a new Episode or somehing and had made changes to the whole thing ( Podcast ) that it was changed ( updated ).
Am I missing something, or is it that iTunes have 'missed' something.
I do hope that someone can help and lead me in the right direction.
Oh one more thing, I have used the '&' yet I get the '&amp' on my Podcast, yet I have seen on other Podcast's the '&' without the 'amp'. Any reason why mine is different ?
Look forward to your comments.
Steve

Someone else posted about this. Actually, this is the reason why I am searching on here. I have the same exact problem. Mine has not been upgraded yet. But someone else suggested, when you change the image in your feed XML file, try renaming the picture first. It helped someone else. I guess when iTunes searched for a different file name is was finally able to change the image (which seems to be in a cache somewhere in iTunes, even though you host the files).
It didnt work for me though. If you figure it out, let me know.

Ipod nano 4g - wrong cover art appearing

I manually transfer music and youtube videos to my ipod nano 4g from Windows XP (home) and Windows 7 (office) computers. I have iTunes handle podcasts that I follow (about a dozen). Both machines are kept current with OS updates and iTunes updates.
Lately, however, it seems something about the ipod memory has been corrupted, because most of the "cover art" on the podcasts have become fouled up. For example, 7 or 8 different podcasts now show a still frame from an entirely different podcast as their cover art.
This has extended itself to a number of music files also ... enough that it's bothersome... Do I just need to reformat the lot and recopy them over? I'm curious how it happened, but I'd also like to know how to correct it... and most importantly, how to keep it from occurring again in the future.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
James

This problem has happened to me. This is usually caused by two albums having the same description like "Greatest Hits". Right mouse click on a song you know has a bad art cover and look at the Get Info tab. Right mouse click on a song that is on the art cover causing the problem and also look at the Get Info tab. Compare the two. If the album description or any of those fields are the same you need to make them unique. Make sure you change all the songs on the album the same way. Next time you synch your album art will properly be displayed.

Wrong Cover Art For Complete Led Zeppelin...

This is frustrating. I just purchased the complete Led Zeppelin from Itunes and it gives me the Led Zeppelin I cover art instead of the Black Zoso Cover.... How can I get this cover...?

You can always search for it yourself on Amazon, Google images, etc. Download a version you like and then manually add the artwork yourself.

Urgh...wrong album cover art...how do I take it off

I have?a Zen Vision M, 30gb, and I have a problem removing unwanted cover art. I suppose it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things...the songs play, and they're where their supposed to be. But I find this HELLA annoying
!!! Since I've transferred a great deal of my CD collection into it, I like to organize things (and search) by album. But since I also have a lot of random songs that I have downloaded from various places, and I don't want a whole bunch of incomplete "albums" to search through, I filed them into an "album" tagged "Miscellaneous."? So last night I'm?making new tags and reorganizing some files, and when I unplug my Zen from the computer, I go into my "Miscellaneous" and see that?ALL the songs now have the cover art?from ONE of the songs in that folder. What's even stranger is that that specific?cover art doesn't even show in Windows Media Player, so I have NO idea how it became attached with all my miscellaneous songs. To top it off, I transferred some CD's into my Zen who's cover art DID show, but it doesn't come up in my Zen. To that I say "whatever"... I'd like to have the cover art, but I can li've without it. But to have the WRONG cover art for?A LOT of my songs just makes me?incredibly aggrevated!? So what can I do to remove the unwanted cover art?
Oh, and I should point out that I got my Zen when it'sfirst came out, so I have like the oldest MediaSource Organizer that doesn't support cover art.

I don't own a Vision M, but I know how my other players from Creative work. They use the ID3 tags in each track for artist, album art, etc. I use media monkey to tag all the tracks on my computer before I transfer them to the player. Here's the bad news. In my experience, you will have to remove the tracks from the player and throw them back on once they are tagged properly. I know of no way to change the tags on the players themselves. Eric

Messed Up Cover Art

My Retina display iPad 32 gig's cover art is completely messed up. The wrong cover art is with most tracks, even my video files are showing cover art from iBook covers!
Any ideas on how to straighten this out - short of completely Restoring the entire iPad?
Thanks

Most cover art disappeared after syncing

I just put a few more CDs onto my iTunes, and after I synced my iPod, all the cover art except for the few CDs I just added disappeared from the iPod. It's all still in my iTunes though. All pictures for video are gone too, but my photos still work fine. (The iPod is a Classic 160 GB)
Thoughts? Ideas?

I was having a similar problem. For me it happens only with ripped tracks not available through iTunes. My solution was to uncheck “Automatically download missing album artwork” on the General Tab under Preferences.
Once I unchecked it, the disappearing covers stopped happening. Although it was an intermittent problem, it's now been 5 months since I changed it and I haven't lost any artwork.
This solution also has one obvious drawback. While iTunes purchased music is still downloaded with cover art, once you uncheck the "automatically download missing album artwork" box, music you rip and then import into iTunes won't have cover art. My take is I'd rather add cover art once when I import a song, then constantly have to re add random batches of artwork.
All I can figure is that when you have "get artwork" checked, iTunes goes through your library and replaces all artwork added by hand because it doesn't recognize either the file type or naming convention. For the most part we don't notice it, but when it hits a song it doesn't own the rights too, blam, gonzo.
Further proof that iTunes doesn't recognize or like the hand added cover art is that I had a song that iTunes automatically downloaded the wrong cover art for (van halen 1 instead of 2). I fixed it with the right cover from Amazon but I noticed it changed back to the wrong cover about a week later.
I have a couple of blog entries about this problem that go into further detail, check them out here:

Recent itunes convert, organizing, cover art, etc.

im trying to gather as much best practice info about ripping large quantities of my cds to mp3 using itunes. ive previously used other windows or opensource apps in the past, and the folder organization can always be counted on (but unlink itunes, they dont download cover art).
also, ive run into a few situations where a popular/recent album is unable to find cover art. is there also some sort of best practice that covers getting the highest probability of it actually finding the right cover art? (ive also had some movie soundtracks pull the wrong cover art too)

Ok, Richsadams et al: I think I have all this artwork missing problem figured out, here is how.
We just need to chill out and simply wait. They will all eventually show up there on their own. It took me few hours to realize all that, but it is true, it will be there on their own, as long as you have them in your pc/mac library hard drive.
Thanks all for the replies. This is a brand new service, and of course it will have its problems at the beginning, especially when millions of people do it at the same day. At the end, we'll all be happy with iTunes match and iCloud, I know it! Especially streaming all your iclouds library via Apple TV is simply awesome!!
I’m not sure how "waiting" would have helped in this case. Had I not been proactive, the cover art would still be missing. Overall the service is still "buggy" IMO and users shouldn't have to wait or go through some pretzel logic to resolve problems. If it were one or even a couple of issues that’s one thing...but this did not go well on a number of levels.
I understand "early adoption" caveats, but based on numerous posts here and elsewhere, this was not a pleasant experience for a lot of folks...with many still struggling to get things back on track.
We have admittedly been spoiled by Apple's usual high standards. However with all of the issues with the rollout of iOS 5 and now iTunes Match, recent events have been very disappointing. Apple has previously set the customer experience bar very high and almost always met or surpassed it. These past couple of fairly major events felt rushed and unpolished.
I'm the first one to come to Apple's defense and will continue to do so, but this experience has soured my outlook on Apple's ability to continue to deliver at their previous levels. I hope they are able to regroup and learn from this because I truly want them to succeed and stay on top.

Music cover art problem

I just recently got a new computer and new iPod touch, I am getting messages stating that iTunes cannot find the cover art for over half of my albums, and another quarter of those that it does, gets the wrong cover art. For example, Disney's Enchanted doesn't get any cover art, and the soundtrack for "A Walk to Remember" gets the cover to "Top Gun". The soundtracks for both Blues Brothers movies gets covers from Aretha Franklin music and iTunes cannot find cover art for any of the Star Trek movies.
Since this is with a completely new computer, new iPod, and first time creation of an iTunes library, I am at a loss to find how to correct this.
Any ideas what can be done?

I would like to bump this since I'm having the same problems. iTunes 7 got them all but the new is messing up simple stuff, like Weezer's Blue and Green albums.

Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad. The movies runs fine and cover art is visible. Great. However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing. The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini. Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

Is your album cover issue resolved?
If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

Cover art wrong on phone, but correct on computer?

I just recently got the iPhone 5c, and when I went synced all my music onto the phone, half of the cover art for my albums were wrong. I've deleted songs off the iPhone and tried resyncing many times. But they just keep showing up in the wrong places. Also, when I open iTunes, many of the albums I've bought are grayed out and I have to redownload them from my phone. I don't know if that could contribute to this issue. But does anyone have any idea how I could fix this? I'm beginning to feel a tad helpless.

i'm having a similar problem, but even with songs I didn't edit in the genre view. For example, Nate Dogg's "Regulate" from the Above the Rim Soundtrack is still classified as "Soundtrack" in my iTunes Library. However, it shows up in the "Classical" genre on my iPhone. Similarly, tracks from an old 2005 iTunes New Music Compliation Sampler show up in my "Classical" library on my iPhone, even though it is labeled as "Pop" in my iTunes computer library by Apple.
I wonder if it's a problem with Apple's/iTunes labeling of music, though I can't for the life of me figure out why a Pop song labeled as such by iTunes would be showing up in my "Classical" iPhone library.
