Wrong covers downloading to iTunes

When copying my discs to iTunes, most artwork downloads automatically and attaches to the albums, but some artwork simply doesn't appear. In such cases, I scan the original covers and drag the images into iTunes. Fine, most of the time, but on a few occasions, different artwork attaches itself. Example: a Weeds cover has attached itself to my Deadwood CD. When this happens, the correct (scanned) image is rejected, so that I'm stuck with the wrong cover, which refuses to budge or be deleted.
Any ideas how to ditch the false covers to make way for my scanned ones?

Past experience as I'm a bit OCD about album covers

  • ITunes / CoverFlow/CoverArt displaying wrong covers / Need help

    Hi,
    I'm having severe trouble with iTunes and CoverFlow/CoverArt. My problems began when I noticed that sometimes wrong covers are displayed.
    Although all of my songs have embedded covers, CoverFlow/CoverArt displayed not the covers that are embedded. I learned that CoverFlow does not display the cover of each song, but the cover of the album th song belongs too.
    Although in my opinion this feature (CoverFlow) should always display the embedded cover and only use the album cober, when there is no embedded cover (there should be a propertiy where I can select how CoverFlow should work).
    Now I downloaded and installed iTunes 8 and the first thing that I have noticed is, that CoverFlow works even worse. To verify my problem, I changed some of my songs in my iTunes library. For this test I changed all of my ABBA songs. I delete every album information (and the sorting album information) from all of my ABBA songs. For iTunes it should look like there are some ABBA songs that do not belong to an album. Now CoverFlow can't display any album cover because there is no ABBA album anymore.
    Although I deleted every album information there are still some ABBA songs that are display with a wrong cover. I have learned that CoverFlow displays AlbumCovers. But why are some of these ABBA songs still displayed with the wrong cover - although there are no album informtion?
    *Hey apple - although I'm a great fan of iTunes and the CoverFlow feature (with is great when using PartyJukebox)- I'm now totally mixed up when trying to understand how this works.*
    Can anyone help me understanding how CoverFlow works and how I can manage to get CoverFlow to display the embedded cover of my songs instead of some mysterious album covers.

    See if you can find a window PC and do a restore there. After that reconnecting it back with your Mac

  • Itunes imports wrong covers !!!

    hi,
    i was excited to try the new options in itunes 7. specially the automatic cover download. phew, now i am so disappointed ! itunes has imported so many completely wrong covers. it has even replaced good quality covers with a lower quality.
    do i do something wrong ? is there anyone with the same problems ?
    thanks for writing back !
    cheers, peter

    When you ask a question like "is there anyone with the same problems ?", it's usually a good idea to do a search in that forum to find out.

  • After my successful download of iTunes 64 bit,I continue to get an error message that it's missing Apple Application Support. What am I doing wrong?

    After my successful download of iTunes 64 bit,I continue to get an error message that it's missing Apple Application Support. What am I doing wrong? I've installed it and uninstalled it several times already, but each time I get that error message...

    I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

  • Will I get all the album covers if I download the iTunes essentials albums?

    Will I get all the album covers if I download the iTunes essentials albums or will I just recieve the iTunes essentials album cover?

    Since no one seems to have answered ...
    I get the impression that iTunes essentials are just lists of tracks.
    iTunes uses the Artist and album information to determine the artwork so it should pick up the appropriate artwork for each track if the album and artist are correct.
    Certainly this is the case for an album consisting of tracks from several albums - if the artist and album name are set to the original album.

  • Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

    Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

    Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

  • I got a new Ipad 2 and I am trying to get it work in vain. I have downloaded the iTunes on my PC, but even after executing the program nothing happens to the IPAD. I still get the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo. What am I doing wrong?

    You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it -  and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
    If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again.

    It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
    From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
    <description>...</description>
    tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
    You should really have a language tag, e.g.
    <language>en-us</language>
    (you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
    It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
    <itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
    it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
    You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

  • I downloaded latest itunes 12 now when i try to open itunes i get error message 7 with ( windows error 5 ) I have latest windows framework. Help me please !

    After downloading latest iTunes 12 I cant open iTunes window says not installed correctly please re- install error 7 ( windows 5 ) PLEASE HELP

    Take the unpacked components of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file and move them to the root of drive C:. Try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe which drives the original installer, or iCloud.msi unless you have Vista). You may get a more useful error message regarding any problems during the install.
    msiexec /i C:\AppleApplicationSupport.msi /l*v C:\Log_AAS.txt
    msiexec /i C:\AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi /l*v C:\Log_AMDS.txt
    msiexec /i C:\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi /l*v C:\Log_AMDS64.txt
    msiexec /i C:\AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi /l*v C:\Log_ASU.txt
    msiexec /i C:\Bonjour.msi /l*v C:\Log_Bonjour.txt

    msiexec /i C:\iTunes.msi /l*v C:\Log_iTunes.txt
    msiexec /i C:\iTunes64.msi /l*v C:\Log_iTunes64.txt
    You can triple-click a line to select all of it, then press Ctrl+C to copy, switch to the command box and click the icon at the top left of the window to access the paste menu.  Which components you have depends on whether you've unpacked the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer.
    The log files might provide further clues as to what is going wrong.

  • Cant download new itunes 11.1, says needs OSX 10.6.8

    tried plugging in my iphone4 as usual and now nothing comes up, says iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. Then i got to download the Itunes 11.1 then is says This update requires OS X version 10.6.8 or later. Which all my stuff is up to date. Im so F'in confused!!!!!!!

    I see why you are confused.
    Please understand there is a big difference between "update" and "upgrade".  You are running OS X 10.5.8 (Lion Leopard), and you do have the very latest software that can run under Lion Leopard.
    But if you upgrade (which means you would have to spend some money) to Mountain Lion Snow Leopard(OS X 10.6), you would then be able to run more recent software.
    You could purchase Snow Leopard here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You could then update (free) to OS X 10.6.8 and then run iTunes.
    ... or you could get even more current with OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion) if your hardware supports it.
    UPDATE - Sorry I got some names wrong above.  They're right now.

  • How can I play apps that I've downloaded with iTunes on my Windows laptop?

    I have downloaded the itunes for 64 bit windows, as my laptop is running windows8.1. Is there anyway I can play apps from apple itunes store or have I downloaded and installed the itunes software wasting my time for nothing. I downloaded Hay day, clicked on the icon in the itunes app but all it does is higlight it or if I right click it just gives my info as you would expect. Am i doing something wrong or just wasting my time, Thank you in advance

    Apps that you download via iTunes are designed for iDevices (iPod, iPhone, iPod). They will not work on any traditional computer.

  • 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...

  • HT2729 Why won't certain videos (downloaded from iTunes) sync on my iPod?

    I have a new iPod Classic and it won't sync some of my videos. I've reset it. I've got everything checked. All files and videos play in my library. There all in the same location and files. Its  After syncing I get the "some videos were not synced because the format is not supported". All the vids were downloaded from iTunes Store. WTH? Can anyone think of a solution? What is wrong? 
    Thanks,
    WB

    Hey Willm700,
    Great question. iTunes defaults to downloading HD content when available, whereas your iPod classic is not compatible with HD playback. The solution would be to download the SD version of the content from your purchase history:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4223
    The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device.
    Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation):
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
