Nano cover art issues (covers loaded, but don't always display)

Just picked up an 8GB Nano yesterday, and while the whole idea of having cover art displayed is nice and all, it doesn't seem to be working correctly. I can load the art just fine, and it displays in the Cover Flow view (after a small delay when loading each one), but when just playing the songs and moving back and forth between them with the next/previous buttons (even within the same album), the album art seems to always disappear after one or two songs, only to be replaced by the increasingly-irritating "music note on a gray square".
Is this a known issue with the 3G Nanos (or iPods in general), or am I looking at a defective unit?

I actually thought of that last night after I posted that, so I did a test:
I played the first song in an album that had cover art present. When I hit the "next track" button, the album art promptly disappeared. I then went back to the previous menu and went straight to the song where the cover art disappeared and selected that one. Once again, hitting the "next track" button made the album artwork disappear.
I'm not a huge fan of iTunes, though, so I've been using Winamp to manage the Nano, especially since I can have Winamp automatically get cover art for songs without having to give it a credit card number.

    Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
    If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

    If you are on a self hosted site or worse yet using some file storage service like Dropbox - then you are going to have issues. 
    Again - this leter from Apple does not mean anything is wrong wth your show specifically - it is a generic letter going out to all podcasters.

  • Cover art wrong on phone, but correct on computer?

    I just recently got the iPhone 5c, and when I went synced all my music onto the phone, half of the cover art for my albums were wrong. I've deleted songs off the iPhone and tried resyncing many times. But they just keep showing up in the wrong places. Also, when I open iTunes, many of the albums I've bought are grayed out and I have to redownload them from my phone. I don't know if that could contribute to this issue. But does anyone have any idea how I could fix this? I'm beginning to feel a tad helpless.

    i'm having a similar problem, but even with songs I didn't edit in the genre view.  For example, Nate Dogg's "Regulate" from the Above the Rim Soundtrack is still classified as "Soundtrack" in my iTunes Library.  However, it shows up in the "Classical" genre on my iPhone.  Similarly, tracks from an old 2005 iTunes New Music  Compliation Sampler show up in my "Classical" library on my iPhone, even though it is labeled as "Pop" in my iTunes computer library by Apple. 
    I wonder if it's a problem with Apple's/iTunes labeling of music, though I can't for the life of me figure out why a Pop song labeled as such by iTunes would be showing up in my "Classical" iPhone library. 

  • I'm having cover art issues...

    I love audiobooks, but I'm having issues with cover art showing up. When in "audiobooks" view in iTunes all of my cover art shows up, but when I switch to "authors" view some authors have cover art next to their names while others doesn't. I suppose I'm a little OCD but I really like having cover art next to the author's names.
    I noticed this happened after I did a bit of editing so it may be my fault. Several of my audiobooks are series. For example, Christopher Paolini wrote the Inheritance Cycle which consists of Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr & Inheritance. I recently combined the files into one "album" while letting the track names differentiate between the individual books.
    1 Eragon (Part 1).m4b
    1 Eragon (Part 2).m4b
    2 Eldest (Part 1).m4b
    2 Eldest (Part 2).m4b
    3 Brisngr (Part 1).m4b
    3 Brisinger (Part 2).m4b
    4 Inheritance (Part 1).m4b
    4 Inheritance (Part 2).m4b
    Each book has it's own cover art and when I send the whole series to my iPhone they show up as one audiobook "The Interitance Cycle" with the 8 files listed above being listed as tracks. When clicking on the individual files to play them, they display the cover art for the book they represent. Seemed like an easy way to consolidate my files until the cover art next to author names started disappearing in iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Well I'm here to own up.  My dad was over today and he has an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1 and mine ran 6.1.2.  Over the table both on my wifi I tried to call him on facetime and he tried to call me, in both cases it failed due to lost connection as previously discussed.  He said they had used it to call my brother in england yesterday with no issue.
    I bit the bullet and decided with extreme reluctance to do the upgrade.  I did a full backup whilst downloading the update on my windows pc and after the sync I applied the update.  Luckily for apple's sake the facetime connection now works both ways but I'm still left with this hideously atrocious UI color scheme.  I can however report that i can see no noticable reduction in performance so far.  As per suggested on some sites I disabled automatic downloads & updates and tweaked the accessibility settings to "reduce motion" and "increase contrast" including enabling button shapes and reducing white point.  Everything seems to work fine and Thankfully I don'rt feel like I have a hobbled device.  Clearly something between 7.0 and 7.1.1 has brought iPad 2 back up to speed so to speak.
    Oh and I still hate you Apple, cheers.

  • Cover art not being loaded in iTunes 7

    How does iTunes get the artwork it displays in the new cover browser? From the artwork included with the id3 tag of the mp3 file, or from the directory the mp3 file is in?
    I have cover art in most directories (directories organized by album), but it is not being loaded. Does the filename have to be in a specific format? Or does the artwork actually have to be embedded in the id3 tag of the mp3 file?
    Thanks.

    The artwork must be embedded with each individual song, just having it in the directory doesn't allow iTunes to find it.

  • Cover art synchs on Ipod, but music doesn't.

    Hello,
    I've purchased a bunch of songs from an Itunes gift card. All the songs loaded onto my G5 as expected. But when I manually synched them onto my Ipod, the album art shows up, but not the music. When I attempt to play the song, the artwork appears for a brief second and then the Ipod jumps to the next song in the cue.
    I next downloaded a free song of the week from the Itunes store and the same thing happened. The song loaded, but just the artwork synched.
    I've tried to re-synch it over and over and I'm still just getting the album cover, not music. The songs still play on my IMac, but not on the Ipod.
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what could be the problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try removing the tick mark next to Sync Podcasts from under your iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes and applying the changes.  Once it has finished, reapply the sync option and again apply the changes to resync your iPod.
    This should remove the stranded podcasts.
    However, if it doesn't,  A restore of the iPod may be in order.

  • Cover Art Issues

    I got a strange issue with the cover art on my Ipad 2. I added the artwork to the song on Itunes and can see it no problem on Itunes coverflow view. Now when I look at it on my Ipad 2 under songs it pops up when you click the song. When you look at it under albums it show the artwork but when you look under artist it does not show the cover art. What am I missing here?

    Never mind I didn't have the composer filled in under the get info for the song.

  • On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

    On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Why doesn't my podcast cover art show in store but appears in iTunes library after I subscribe?

    My podcast cover art is not showing up in the iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liberation-radio/id591038133
    As soon as I subscribe via iTunes on my computer and look at the podcast in the Library, the cover art is there. I can't figure out what's wrong. The image is 1400x1400. The original feed submitted to iTunes is here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/LiberationRadio
    Can anyone assist? Thanks in advance!

    Great, that explains it. We had moved the image to a new URL and actually updated the original feed that we input into Feedburner with that URL ... but we also had Feedburner Smartcast turned on which creates its own iTunes tags and overrides any that may already be in the feed, and the image URL in Smartcast there was the old one.
    In any case, we not only updated Feedcast Smartcast with the correct image URL, but we also put a copy of the image at the old URL so that even the URL presently used by iTunes should work.
    Any idea how long it takes for the store to update the cover art? Anything we can do to expedite it?
    Thanks!

  • AS3 - Font Loads but don't display... what might be happening?

    I'm trying to load a custom font to use at runtime in AS3.
    The code seems to work but the font is not displayed properly.
    Could you point what I'm missing?
    [*]The SWF with the font item inside Library, which is
    exported with "GoodTimes" name, using "flash.text.Font" as the
    superclass.
    [*]FLA and its respective AS document class file. The code is
    quite simple, look:

    No, but if you don't already have a backup, you must back up immediately, before you reset the SMC or do anything else.

  • Strange problem with Audition 3.0 - Tracks Load, but don't appear, no tracks listed?

    I've a collection of 15 songs I've been working on.
    A few weeks ago, I loaded one of the sessions, only to find that the progress bar showed the loading of each track as normal, but there was no track data visible once the session opened!
    Fortunately, I kept a back up, and transferred this over. However, now the backup has done the same thing, and I've done work on it since and don't want to have to go back to the old back up again.
    What's weird is that, the files are all there listed in the directory, and appear to load, the session attributes and settings are all the same, but just no audio tracks are visible.
    I'm sure there must be a way of recovering this, but I don't know what it is.
    I've deleted the cache, which didn't help. I've copied the directory somewhere else, and back over again. - but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Pic 1 and 2 show the loading process (i.e. it's definately loading something from somewhere)

    Please help me solve this, this project is so close to finishing and this problem is really annoying me.

    Still haven't solved this, even the backup no longer works...Would anyone be interested in helping me by letting me send them a project, making one simple change for me, then saving the project, returning it to me and exporting it as wav?

  • Internet connection loading, but don't know loading what...

    I found my iphone was connecting to the internet and loading something, but i didn't open any apps , so what's it loading? will it cost me a expensive 3G bill?!

    As long as an iPhone has reception - via a wi-fi connection or cellular, it is always connected to the internet. An iPhone is also designed to have a data plan with your cellular provider. If not, it is pay as you go for data uploaded or downloaded via the cellular network. Visual voicemail messages are downloaded to the iPhone via the cellular network only.
    Do you have an email account or accounts that are automatically checked for new messages?
