Incorrect Album Art on my iPhone 13

Did you mean to direct this question to me, jyfgcviyrcfuyrf ?

I SYNC whole playlists.

I have owned an iPhone or iPod since 2009 in various iterations. As a power user, I would frequently drag and drop music files off of, and ONTO my phone. Apple Support says that I was doing it all wrong. While I NEVER had a problem with the WRONG artwork until I purchased an iPhone 13, I can report that SYNCING the device (instead of dragging and dropping) does resolve my *wrong artwork* issue. I hope that this is helpful to anyone reading this. Also? In iTunes, I always back up directly to a Mac, so there's always a recent copy of said phone with me, rather than in the cloud. I know I know. Its called "MUSIC" now -- -NOT iTunes. I will start to wrap my head around that! Thanks for reading.

Mac OS: 10.15.7 iTunes/Music version: 1.0.6.10 mobile device: iPhone 13 with OS: 16

I have tried all suggestions to fix this (right click on album artwork in itunes and resynch, delete music and app on the phone and reintall, delete cache, check which OS you are running etc etc). Even worse, in my case some of the CD's I ripped to iTunes don't copy and some claim they cannot be played because I am in the wrong region. Let's now talk facts. Everything worked fine on my iPhoneX. I have two iPod toches, which also work fine. So out of sheer frustration I purchased an iPad today and everything synched. No partial sync, no regional issues, album artwork all nicely aligned. But the less-then-useless iPhone 13 still has mixed up artwork, does not synch all songs and claims for some I am in the wrong region for some songs. The only good news is I can confirm there is no issue with my PC, or my iTunes Cache, or my OS version or anyother excuse that Apple seem to come up with because it is working ABSOLUTELY FINE WITH ALL OTHER DEVICES. The issue is therefore the iPhone 13 and it is clearly not fit for purpose. Thank you Apple for an absolutely distaster of a product. I have other words I would like to use to descrbe it but I will keep those to myself.

I found a solution for my iPhone 12 synced with my Mac. I unchecked Sync music in the sync window to clear all music from my phone. After applying, I checked the option again to sync the music back onto the phone.

This was after trying signing in and out of my Media & Purchases and restarting the phone, neither of which worked.

This is really annoying. I just had another issue where sync just didn't recognise the music on my phone anymore, and refused to sync as it determined I did not have enough space to add the already added music.

I could not remove the music via sync either, even though it clearly labelled it as media.

I went in to settings on my iPhone and just deleted the data for music from there, then sync finally accepted my music was gone and resynched it.

I have near 100GB of music, so this took like 12 hours?

And now all my album artwork is completely messed up, there's no rhyme or reason to it, all the tracks of an album have the same artwork, just from completely different albums.

I don't want to have to try again by deleting the app and then wait another 12 hours to find out it it worked or not

This is an absolute joke! How has Apple not come out and given any kind of statement on this issue!? It's clearly a problem and people need a solution. Don't make me buy a Samsung... I'll do it!!!!

This didn't fix my problem.

That fixed my artwork. Thanks for taking your time!

Try the earlier recommendation of deleting all albums from iPhone library and Music app from your phone. Then re-sync with Mac. It worked for me. :)

Question about Shiukwan's entry. Will this same thing work on iphone XR? All artwork is correct on my windows desktop, just got jumbled up on iphone XR after updates.

Yes, should work for your iPhone XrR. Suspect the problem is a general software issue affecting all iPhones.

Mindboggling that Apple can't seem to fix this.

I’m running 1.0.6.10. iTunes

Are you able to synch whole playlists or did you mean drag and dropping individual music files?
