I have a strange problem with my artwork when syncing my iphone with itunes, some albums are not syncing the correct artwork.
for example here's two pics one from my itunes and one from my phone, both the same song, in fact the whole of the album displays the pic of the macbook which is from a podcast(i think)
theres also album artwork which is wrong and taken from other albums on my itunes!!

Odd, all my artwork was synced properly (with the appropriate song)
Try to right click the song, get info, make sure there's only artwork.
Now when you plug your iPhone, then when it sync, it should say Updating.
Copying 1 out of X : Song Name

Have you tried un-plugging it then reconnect it and re-sync it again?
 
here's another problem on the albums view its correct but play a song and its the wrong artwork

That's odd, you have the right artwork then, so somehow the syncing process was faulty but I don't know if it's hardware's fault or software's fault.

Is it only happening to some particular songs but not everything?

correct only certain songs are affected??
very odd:confused::confused::confused:
 
I just asked Apple about this because I had the same problem. They told me to restore my phone and sync everything separate from the music, then sync the music by itself. It worked.

Now, for some reason whenever a song from one particular album comes on, the phone freezes. I guess it's time for yet ANOTHER restore...
 
I used to have the same problem. At some point I removed all the music in the phone and re-synced. It would seem fine at first then it would happen all over again to other songs. It was like a moving target. My phone was running firmware 1.1.2 back then. Since I updated to firmware version 2.1, I never had that problem again.
 
I had the album art work syncing issue when i first had a iPod toouch,

Everything was fine on Mac but wouldn't sync right, it took a several syncs to get it right
 
I find that sometimes the pics from pod casts can become the artwork of songs I import via CD, annoying but nothing to major.
