Wrong Number of Songs On My iPod Shown/Incorrect Album Art

I have two things that are wrong with my iPod Touch 4G that are bugging me and I don't know what to do about them. One thing is that the number of songs I have on my iPod is incorrect. When I go into the Settings menu > General > About it currently states that I have 55 songs when I don't, I have way less than that. Does anybody why this is happening or what can be done about it? Second of all, for some of the songs I have on my iPod, the album art is incorrect. It shows a video clip from a video I have on my iPod instead of the album art it should have. I don't know why it's like that now, it wasn't like that before, it used to have the correct abum art. Can anything be done about this?

I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

    My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

  • IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
    I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
    running through songs on iPod
    I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both

  • IPod Nano (1st gen) Displays Incorrect album art.

    I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride with my nano when I realized it was showing incorrect album art for some of the songs. I have not noticed any pattern. I also have a 60gb photo that IS showing the correct album art so I'm pretty sure its just the nano (I updated them both today to check, and still same situation). I have tried restarting the iPod already. Anyone know what I should do?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    iTunes 6
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    iTunes 7
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Reset iPod = videos unplayable, album art gone?

    i'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but every time i reset my iPod (menu and middle button) all my videos disappear from the Video section in my iPod. When i check in iTunes, i can still see the video files, but the little TV icon beside them indicating that they are video are gone, and they just play as sound files.
    Also, all the album art and lyrics i had for my normal songs don't display anymore. But i can still see them in iTunes.
    has anyone had this problem? is there a way to reset the iPod without this happening?
    thanks

    Try restoring the iPod. Then, after a restore, try resetting your iPod.

  • Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

    I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
    For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
    I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
    Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?

    I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.

  • Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

    Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

    You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
    Maybe you should read the manual:

  • IPod Classic display album art via TV-Out

    Just purchased an iPod Classic 80Gb with the new Apple Dock. I am thinking about getting the new composive AV cable to display video etc. on my TV as well as playing tunes through my hi-fi. Does anyone know if the album will display on the TV when playing music?

    I just got the Universal Dock and the Component A/V cable as an early Christmas present, and as stated before there's no album art. Initially I would have thought that the entire iPod UI would be visible on the television, but it is not. The only thing that shows are movies, tv shows, and photos. :/

  • Incorrect Album Art in iPod (G5, 80g)

    Some of the album art is incorrect on my iPod. It's OK in iTunes.
    The last time this happened, I had to restore.
    Is there another way?
    G5, 80g   Mac OS X (10.4.8)    
    1.42 GHz,G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    1.42 GHz,G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks for the reply. At least I know that other iPod owners have the same problem. For the time being, I've tuned off album art on my iPod.

  • IPod displays random album art that I've never added or downloaded

    I've noticed sometimes that album art on my iPod would be missing or displaying art from another album or track in my library but what I noticed today is really confusing me.
    I've noticed a couple of albums so far are displaying weird images that I've never downloaded or added to iTunes. They aren't from another album, track or podcast. One is of the Golden Girls posing with their Emmys! How did this random artwork get applied to tracks on my iPod? The artwork is perfectly fine in iTunes and the thumbnails in the iPod's list view tend to be correct as well. It only shows up when I play the track or album.
    No one has been using my iPod, plus I have a passcode on it. It seems like a restore is in order but I'm just curious to know if others have had this problem and know the cause.

    I'm not running iOS 5 but it could be related to iTunes. The artwork seems to be completely out of the blue but I'm still seeing regular artwork being mixed up from album to album. The other weird images I don't recognize could possibly be from chapters in some podcasts that I never noticed before, I suppose.
    A full restore of the iPod is likely the only solution to this fix I would guess.

  • Playlists reporting wrong number of songs

    I have a 120gig video ipod. When I go to some of my playlists (not all though), all the songs for that playlist show up, but when I start playing the playlist,it will say 1 of 1, and it won't move to the next song. I then have to manually go to the next song. I have rebooted the Ipod several times and have re-synched it too and nothing has worked so for. Any idea's?
    Brian

    That was it, so now here's the question. All these songs within playlists are mixes, so they are not the full song. If I don't say skip when shuffling, how do i have them NOT play when I am just under the main music folder and shuffling songs from there? Does that make sense?

  • IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

    First post !
    Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
    Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
    Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

    did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

  • Ipod displays the album art BLACK

    I've got a 80GB ipod video 5th generation, and some songs of some albums appear black... but on the pc they are just fine.... what the **** is going on?
    All my songs have the correct art on them... but some appear as a black box on the ipod. HEEEEEEEEEEEELP

    i have the same problem for ages since itunes 7.2 and 7.3 arrived i guess, but no techy apple guy can give an explanation or fix this bug even on itunes 7.4.
    when your artwork is on itunes it's fine, by copying it to your ipod will get the exact copy at first. but when you edit the artwork direct on your ipod, say maybe you changed the artwork, it will display black after disconnecting.
    now before getting into trouble and taking hours of restoring your ipod, you may simply delete that file from your ipod and drag a new copy from itunes library. with this you'll see the artwork perfectly.
    on a last note i also find annoying that you can no longer customize what fields you can view (rating, last played, date added, etc.) on your ipod settings when you plug it into itunes. the settings are at default everytime you connect your ipod.
    i hope this helps. seems apple is not listening to our little concerns which we all find annoying.
