Wrong album artwork in iTunes for Windows

Same problem here. I just purchased iPhone 13. When I synced it side by side with my old iPhone 8 I noticed a few songs didn’t transfer over. So I connected to my iMac. It duplicated most of the songs on my phone and switched all the artwork to random wrong albums. So irritating. For someone with OCD this is super annoying. I can manually delete the duplicates, but there’s 4,000 of them!!! And it will probably happen again when I connect my phone again. There must be a fix??

Exactly the same issue I’m having. Artwork on my iMac is unchanged and matched correctly, but the artwork on my iPhone is scrambled. Some is, some isn’t but a fair amount is scrambled.

Apple support suggested logging out of my Apple account, restarting and logging back in. Which changed nothing. I’ve synced with my iMac a few times, same result.

I had the same problem.

Figured how to delete wrong image: select the album inside iTunes, right click, select "album info". When box opens, select artwork from top line of options, click on the image (should show as selected), press delete. Image should vanish (of course, it should vanish when you press "clear album art", but it didn't for me).

Then I went to internet, searched for album. Loads of imagea came up, including one of the cover I wanted. Right clicked, Copied the image to desktop - it appeared named just .jpg. Renamed to "album art.albumname.jpg.

Opened itunes again, selected edit album, artwork, and inside that window pressed CTRL+V. Image appeared. Clicked OK and image appeared on album in library!!!!!!

I tried to get this sequence complete. I wish you luck.

Later created new picture folder named "album artwork" and will put such images there.

Unfortunately this didn't entirely work. The app is still stored in the cloud so after I deleted it and reinstalled it some of the artwork was still wrong on the phone, but is correct on my desktop iTunes. It did however remove all the duplicate songs.

Could you please provide a better solution ????

By the way I provided and better one, that should solve the problem.

Could you provide a non bodged one ????.

These methods are not working. I save a JPEG copy of the correct album art from Discogs on my desktop. It looks like it's being accepted when I add the artwork on the add artwork tab, it appears to save it properly but it then disappears when I leave the edit and go to the library. Your methods worked fine until I bought a new computer.

If you're unable to update artwork see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows - Apple Community.

This isn't a solution, it's a bodged workaround that only covers up the problem until iTunes updates and you have to do it all again
