IPod doesn't display album info

Hi everyone.
I'm desperately writing this topic due to a strange problem I began to face with my iPod Nano after installing Windows 7 Ultimate. After setting the PC up, I re-installed iTunes - as well as other programmes - and opened my old library - I had made a backup of it with a DVD. iTunes seemed to work properly while I synced it with the iPod. When I first used my nano, though, I noticed that some album info were missing. Covers, track's duration - even some tracks themselves - etc., despite of appearing normally in iTunes, wouldn`t be displayed in the iPod. At first, I reckoned it to be a small issue and followed the "Troubleshot assistance five steps". Nothing worked up to now, and it's starting to get to me. Does someone have a clue of how to solve this problem?
I'm really grateful.
iMatt-Hew.

You posted to the wrong area of discussions. This is the 5th Generation iPod group (the video full sized iPods that were released previous to the "Classic" models). If you are asking a Nano question, you want to post to this area...

  • Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs.  Why?

    I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles.  Why not?  Is there a setting I need to fix?

    You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
    Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
    I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
    Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
    (If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.)

  • Neo iOn-2 iPod  Vehicle Adapter doesn't display tune info on vehicle screen

    I recently bought a "Neo iOn-2 iPod to GM12" for my 2004 Chevy Avalanche. It plays GREAT thru the factory installed Bose system but does NOT display what's playing on the XM/Radio screen. I was told by the Mp3YourCar.Com people that they are awaiting an upgrade from Apple for the iPod classic (160GB). This adapter is supposed to work in TWO modes -- direct or advanced. Direct means the iPod wheel is disabled and only six playlists can be accessed/played. Information is displayed on the vehicle screen in this mode but remaining MANY tunes cannot be accessed.
    Advanced allows control via iPod wheel AND displays on vehicle screen same as on iPod. Plays beautifully but does not display on vehicle screen -- only on iPod.

    I'm STILL waiting from some sort of assistance on this. The mp3yourcar.com people said there is a known problem with the unit and iPod and Apple is supposedly working on a fix that should have been available as an update about a month ago. To date -- NOTHING!!!
    PLEASE! Doesn't anybody have any suggestions or ideas?

  • Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

    I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    My ipod had this exact same problem.

  • IPod doesn't show Album Artwork

    There are several albums in my iTunes that have the artwork in iTunes, but the artwork doesn't show up on my new nano. I read on the apple website the following instructions on how to display album artwork, however when I get to STEP 2, the only option on the music tab for my iPod is "sync music". There is no "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox. I have a 5th generation nano and there are some album artworks that DO show up on my nano...I just can't figure out how to get the rest of them...
    For iTunes 7 or later
    1. Select your iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane.
    2. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
    3. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
    4. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

    can anyone help me??

  • XMP doesn't display proper info in Photoshop CS2 for Mac.

    Dear List members:
    I have just recently installed Creative Suite CS2 and begun to explore the functionality of XMP. After purchasing Bruce Fraser's book on Camera Raw for CS2, I downloaded Metalab (Pound Hill Software) and created my first custom XMP panel that can be seen under the file info in Photoshop when an image (digital photo) is open.
    The problem is that I noticed a few odd things and began to question myself if there is some kind of bug or a problem with my installation of CS2.
    1. The window that opens under the file info command has several categories of information on the left to be chosen from, in the following order:
    (1)Description, (2)Camera Data 1, (3)Camera Data 2, (4)Categories, (5)History, (6)IPTC Contact, (7)IPTC Content, (8)IPTC Image, (9)IPTC Status, (10)Adobe Stock Photos, (11)Origin, (12)Advanced
    The Camera Data 1 option when selected opens a panel in the file info window that seems to contain all the information it is supposed to contain. The Camera Data 2 panel, on the other hand, doesn't display any information at all. Although the fields are there, they are empty. The fields are:
    (1)Pixel Dimension X and Y, (2)Orientation, (3)Resolution X and Y, (4)Resolution Unit, (5)Compressed Bits per Pixel, (6)Color Space, (7)Light Source, (8)File Source.
    All these fields are empty but when looking at the same file under Bridge the information is there, displayed under the metadata menu.
    This is something I noticed "before" installing Metalab so I know it is not a compatibility issue generated by the installation of the software.
    After installing CS2 I noticed that CS1 remained installed in my system. The version I purchased of CS2 is the upgrade one. Since I have no use for CS1 as I am now totally converted to CS2, I would like to uninstall CS1. The following are some of the questions I have:
    1. How can I uninstall CS1 without causing any problems to my installation of CS1 ? Is there an uninstall utility with the software or will I have to uninstall the entire package manually ?
    2. My G5 came with only one internal 160 GB drive where I originally installed CS1. I then purchased another internal 400 GB HD and copied the original drive onto it. This week I am going to replace the original 160 GB drive with a second 400 GB drive so that I can do regular "mirror image" back-ups between the two drives. Shold I expect any problems as I remove the drive where I originally installed CS1 ? Since I used disk utility to "copy" the 160 GB drive onto the 400 GB drive, my understanding it that any Adobe software key or authorization was also transferred to the drive. Is this right ? In case it hasn't, how can I transfer this information so that after I remove the 160 GB drive I will not experience any problems when trying to run CS2 ?
    3. How can I fix the problem with the Camera Data 2 panel under the file info window and command ? I noticed that the folder that is supposed to hold the Custom File Info Panels (HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>XMP>Custom File Info Panels) has files for CS1 and CS2. Could this be a problem ? There many more files with .dat extenson than there are with the .txt extension. Bruce Fraser specifically says that the ones with the .txt extension are the ones that hold the XMP templates for information related to the image files. The files I have in this folder with the .txt are:
    (1)Camera1_CS2.txt , (2)Camera1.txt , (3)Camera2_CS2.txt , (4)Camera2.txt , (5)Categories.txt , (6)History.txt , (7)IPTC_Contact.txt , (8)IPTC_Content.txt , (9)IPTC_Image.txt , (10)IPTC_Status.txt , (11)StockPhotoInfo.txt
    The only ones that have two separate files one each for CS1 ad CS2 are Camera 1 and Camera 2. Camera 2 seems to be the only that is now non-functional. What should I expect to happen if I were to manually uninstall the ones that relate to CS1 ? Could that cause any problems ?
    My apologies for the long post but I didn't really know how to make it shorter.

    The Photoshop and/or Bridge forums would be more likely places to get answers to your questions. This forum is inhabited more by programmer types interested in implementing the XMP specification in applications we write.
    I'd expect CS2 to ignore CS1 panels so I doubt that's the issue. Panels don't interfere with each other--they just offer different views of the data. In any case, move the extra panels to your desktop and see what happens.
    As far as I know, all you need to do on the Mac is drag the CS1 application folder to the trash to uninstall it.

  • IPod does not display album cover art

    I recently updated to iTunes 9 and also bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I synced my old iPod color with my new Mac. Since then my iPod does not display the album art work anymore. I was looking through iTunes 9 for the option to display the artwork on the iPod because I remembered that setting from older versions but could not find it. Does iTunes 9 just asume my iPod can't display covers because it is a 4th gen even though it is the color version?

    hi mduran, no i could not find any solution. My iPod (60gb, probably the same as yours) is filled to the top and has been before the iTunes update and then it worked fine. I think this is a bug in iTunes. It's interesting to see that this happens in the Mac and Windows version of iTunes. Is there any way of telling Apple about that so it will be in the next update?

  • My ipod doesn't display what is playing?

  • IPod Photo not displaying album artwork

It still shows the artwork when the iPod is connected to my computer. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?

  • Front Row Doesn't Display Album Artist?

    Hi
    One thing I have just noticed about Front Row is that it does not seem to make use of the Album Artist field from iTunes. In my library I have featured artists included in the Artist field, with the main artist displayed in the Album Artist field. For example, the song Smooth by Santana would have the Artist as Santana Ft. Rob Thomas, with the Album Artist as Santana.
    This is all fine in iTunes - but in Front Row, when browsing by album, it displays such an album as by Various rather than whoever the album artist is. This seems particularly odd, considering in Cover Flow in iTunes, and even on the iPhone, the Album Artist field is used in correctly.
    Is this just me with this problem? Or is it something that Apple are aware of and hopefully will correct? Surely it can't be that big a fix...

    Hello there,
    this maybe not will answer your question, but it explains issues with missing artwork in front row i've experienced.
    2 albums of my collection refused to display their artwork in front row (these artworks were displaying perfectly fine in itunes, coverflow, finder songs icons and ipods off course).
    After trying different things like deleting & replacing artwork, changing size of picture, and so on, nothing changed so i felt really disappointed...
    until....I remembered that i have created an itunes music store "wishing list", with 2 songs of these 2 albums. After deleting these 2 songs from the wishing list, everything is back to normal, and front row display correctly the artwork..
    thank you for reading, and hope it will help some of you guys.

  • IPod Touch not displaying album art in "now playing" view

    I recently migrated my iTunes library from my iMac to my MacBook. I did not experience any problems with the migration, and did it over my wireless home network.
    Since then, some of my album artwork will not show in the "now playing" view on my iPod touch, but they do show in cover flow and in iTunes. I have synced numerous times, but that has not solved my problem.
    Help! This is driving me crazy!

    I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
    I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
    Problem solved!
