Artwork on ipod but doesn't show up when synced to itunes

I have a first gen. touch and I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto a new computer running Windows 7. Everything is working fine expect that when the touch is synced the artwork on the ipod doesn't show up in the itunes display window. The artwork in my itunes library displays, the artwork is displayed when using the touch...but itunes won't show any of the touch artwork in the artwork window. In other words all the artwork is there but itunes won't display it when ipod is synced.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Happened after I tried activating iTunes Match (not sure if it's related though).

  • My ipod touch doesn't show as a device in itunes sidebar

    My touch downloaded my playlist from my PC windows xp just fine the first time.  Now when I plug into the PC it has a triple ding like it recognizes that it is plugged in, but doesn't show  up in itunes sidebar.  However, my touch has no problem  being recognized when syncing with my Mac. All of my other devices, nano, ipad also have no problem syncing with my PC, or showing up in itunes sidebar. I have cleared the touch and reset all settings.  Any suggestions now as to how to get the touch to appear or be recognized? (It also dings when plugged in to PC, but it is a different sound than what the nano and ipad make when being plugged in.

  • A song I bought is on my iPod Touch but doesn't show up when I plug in my iPod to my computer. Why?

    I recently bought a song off of iTunes. It shows up on my iPod Touch, but when I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't show up with the rest of my songs. I tried deleting the song directly from my iPod by swiping the screen (which I normally do) but the delete button doesn't show up. When I try deleting other songs directly from my iPod by swiping the screen, the delete button comes up. Why is this happening? How can I get my song to show up on my computer? How can I delete the song?

    It worked! Thank you!
    But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

  • Ipod 160g music library shows up when connected to itunes, but empty when disconntected from computer

    At some point last night the mac i had connected to my ipod 160gb went to sleep and when it awakened, I ejected and disconnected ipod, instead of going right to the music menus, the ipod restarted, and opens up the language selection screen, as if it is empty.  There are 0 music files, 0 videos, playlists etc., actually it even says 0 KB available.
    When i reconnect to my computer i have access to my ipod library on my ipod like normal.
    I have tried doing the hold switch toggle and then holding menu/select until the apple icon appears, at which point it restarts, but the ipod still appears without any access to the music.
    My ipod is set to sync manually, i.e. i dont have it backed up on itunes.

    It is a big risk to keep your only copy of song files on an iPod.  It can become lost, broken, or in need of a Restore.  That's what your iPod probably needs now, a Restore.  There is probably data corruption on the iPod's storage.
    Your computer seems to still see the song files on the iPod, so you may be able to off-load them to your computer's drive.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, add them to your current iTunes library.  Then (after confirming all of your songs are there), do a Restore on your iPod.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  You can then sync your songs back to the iPod.
    Going forward, you should keep all of your songs in your iTunes library (not just on the iPod).  And then back up your iTunes data on the computer, along with your other valuable personal data, to protect against your computer failing.

  • Ipod Classic Randomly Loses Tracks/Songs when sync with Itunes

    My IPod Classic Randomly loses Songs from playlists. I can sync with iTunes and it will keep say 8 songs out of 10 in a playlist (sometimes all 10 if I’m lucky) but if you re sync it will have 7 or 9 different tracks in the playlist. Its Very annoying as my girlfriend uses it for teaching and songs are always missing.
    I have tried updating IPod, re-installing ITunes and restoring IPod
    Any Ideas??? Apart from buy a new one but from what I can guess seems like a software issue.
    Thanks

    I was having the same problem. 
    I have an i pod classic 80GB (with the wheel) I think it's 5th generation
    I would start a Sync, it would sync 2 or 3 songs then stop or hang up, which did not interfere with any other function, so I would not say it froze.
    Once I ended the sync by clicking on the X next to the sync progress bar at the top of the window, I ejected the ipod and then plugged it in again.  Then  I selected my i pod under Devices in the menu on the left-hand side of iTunes.  Clicked on the summary tag.  Clicked on  "Manually manage music and videos" Clicked ok and apply.
    When in manual mode, you cn drag songs from  iTunes to the device icon in the sidebar. Once I downloaded the song or songs or album that was causing the problem, I then unselected manual load, and everything else was able to sync normally on automatic mode.

  • Album is on iPod but doesn't show in Artist list

    I have a 60g iPod and I noticed that a few albums on my iTunes don't appear in the artist list on my iPod. I can find it by Album title or song, but not by artist.

    It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
    The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

  • ITunes deleted all my music from my iPod, but they still show up when I plug in the iPod.

    Hi!
    I had my iPhone 4S plugged into my computer, and I was listening to the music on my phone from the music library on my phone through iTunes. Well, after the phone got disconnected, I plugged it back in, and I was unable to play any of the songs on my iPod. I figured it was a glitch, so I unplugged and plugged it back in, but still, the same thing happened. Then I checked my iPhone, and found that only 24 songs remained, all of which could be played just fine, and all of which I had downloaded directly to my phone from the iTunes app on my phone. However, whenever I plug in my phone, all of the songs show up, but when I try to click on any of the non-24 that are on my phone, I get that exclamation point.
    Is there a way to fix this? Or is the only option to readd all the songs?
    Thank you!

    Also, what causes this, so I can avoid it in the future?

  • Older iPod doesn't show podcasts when syncing with new iTunes

    Although I have had my older iPod for approximately 7 years, I have never had any problems with it until this latest iTunes update. Since the update, I my podcasts are not showing up on the iPod. When I click on "sync" it completes almost immediately (in the past it has taken time for my weekly podcasts to transfer). I think this might have something to do with the new podcast app organization that is used with my iPhone and newer devices that utilizes aps. However, I use my iPod for my daily commute, and if I can't find my podasts to listen to, I am going to be VERY disappointed in Apple's latest change. I am hoping that there is an answer to this problem, but am afraid my old iPod may be be in the process of becoming outdated...
    Yes, I did scroll through my albums and artists to see if I could find the podcasts, but without success (unless I am just looking in the wrong place).
    Help!! Has anyone else experienced and/or resolved this issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi Arryla
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Take a look at the following link. It should tell you how to do what you want.

  • My ipod classic doesn't show up on windows or itunes, i have restored it quite a few times, it doesn't seen to make any difference

    my ipod classic (new to me- ebay) does not show up on windows or in itunes, i've gone thru troubleshooting, can't really tell if i've successfully restored it or not, and can't seen to add it to my device mgr. I have tried rebooting computer, any ideas would be great

    Hello bithedz,
    Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document related to your issue? If not, it would be a good place to start.
    [iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410]
    And if no luck there, try manually forcing your iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instructions provided in this Apple support document with your iPod connected to your Mac. This should help your iPod mount as an external drive at least on your system so that you can view it from a Finder window and perform a reformat on it if desired.
    [Putting iPod into Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]
    And if you are able to finally get your iPod recognized by iTunes, I would definitely recommend performing a restore of it there.

  • IPod touch 4g will not back-up when syncing with iTunes

    I was wondering why my iPod touch 4g will back-up when syncing in iTunes. I have tried rebooting the iPod and pc, but still no luck. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks if you can.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?                                            
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HT4539 Why I can download from iCloud on 1 iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I can download from iCloud to one iPod but not the other.  It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app?  Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

  • Music is on the shuffle but doesn't show in iTunes

    Okay. I've never had this problem before; I've got a 160GB iPod video and an old pink mini, both of which work fine with my computer(s) and iTunes.
    My problem is the shuffle. I got the 2GB one brand new, straight from Apple. I keep all of my music on an external drive. When I first hooked up the shuffle along with the external drive it had a major freak out and one would disconnect the other one every time I tried to use both at once. So I googled, read that sometimes you can't have other things plugged in at the same time as the shuffle. Ended up hooking both to a USB hub and they worked perfectly together.
    Plugged the shuffle back in today and there was no music listed on the shuffle in iTunes, however, it said that I had used up however many megabytes, with 71 songs on the shuffle. (You know the little bar down at the bottom?) Ejected it, hit play, and the music is all there. Reconnected, added one song, and it wiped out everything on the shuffle. So I readded everything I had on there, ejected, made sure I didn't have any playback problems, reconnected, and now the same thing is happening again. The bar shows that I've used the space but doesn't list any of my music. I haven't tried to add any more songs because I don't want to go through readding all of that stuff again right now.
    So, any thoughts? I disabled automatic syncing for all of my iPods, and I don't use the autofill option. I've only used one of my computers to add music so far, and haven't had any problems adding purchased content.
    Any help would be greeeatly appreciated. And if anyone is in need of a visual for what I'm talking about, screen caps are here:

    but the iPod shuffle doesn't show up in the drives section so I can't change it to begin with.
    Per the article above, you don't start with changing the drive letter of your iPod. You start by changing the drive letter of your networked volume (usually, an external drive).
    "Resolution
    Solution
    This issue is documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base document 297694, "New Drive or Mapped Network Drive Not Available in Windows Explorer".
    Changing the drive letter of your network volume should resolve the issue. If you are unable to change the drive letter of the network volume because your programs depend on a specific drive letter, then you can use the following steps to change the drive letter of your iPod instead.
    Important: Changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter the iPod uses on subsequent connections, so it is not the best long-term solution. If you are unable to change the drive letter of your mapped network drives, contact your system administrator."
