Album art disappears from ipod touch

Album art for both complete albums and single songs often disappears from the device when uploading new music. However, the art work still appears when you look at the individual songs; i.e., when the device is connected to the computer, you open iTunes, highlight a song and click Apple-I > Artwork.
Also, song order for albums and playlists often gets thrown out of whack. Songs ends up alphabetized.

I just thought about if the music file recognize the song on iTunes store OR every song file that you have album art on then that should be no problem, the only problem is when some of the music/song which is not from iTunes store or they don't have any information for the song, so that will not have album art show up on any of your ipod device unless you add the album art yourself on iTunes when you import song into your iTunes from the file in your computer.

  • ITunes 11 downloaded album art disappeared from first song of many albums

    In iTunes 11. the downloaded album artwork disappeared from the first song of many of my albums.
    This just randomly happened; it wasn't after an upgrade or any other noticeable event.
    The artwork is still associated with all the subsequent songs of the album, just not with the first one.
    I do not want to embed the artwork into the music files.
    Nor do I want to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" and redo "Get Album Artwork" for the affected albums, since some of the albums are no longer in the iTunes Store, so I won't be able to download their artwork anymore.
    The best that I can think of is to:
    1) remove the song that is missing the artwork from itunes without deleting the file from the hard drive
    2) in iTunes, copy another song from the same album
    3) delete the newly copied song from the hard drive without removing it from iTunes
    4) in iTunes, "Get Info" on the newly copied song, which will tell me that it can't be found, and give me the option to "Locate" the file
    5) "locate" the file by selecting from the hard drive the file for the song that was mising its artwork, and that was removed from iTunes in step 1
    Unfortunately, this will remove the song's rating, play counts, etc., remove it from any playlists, and change the date added, etc.
    Does anyone have a better solution?
    Thanks.

    Oh ok. I have just set it to automatically pull cover art but I might try doing each track as you suggested. I just assumed this would be automatic for every track not just the first one.

  • Album art disappeared off iPod! Won't go back on! Please help-

    This is frustrating beyond belief! Anyway, this is how it went down:
    I was updating & synching my iPod (the new iPod video version, 80GB) as usual. Bored, I was looking around in the different tabs while I waited. On the music tab, I saw a check box that said "Display album artwork on you iPod" and it was unchecked. Confused by this, as my album art had always shown up before, I figured I might as well check it just in case to keep my album art ON my iPod. :O Seemed like an okay idea at the time, but the second I clicked "Apply" my iPod started synching with the message "Deleting Album Artwork from iPod" (or something basically like that". I was like HOLY CRAP that's not what I wanted (more like exactly the opposite...), so I clicked "Cancel" but the darn thing continued and finished anyway. Turning on my iPod, I found that indeed all my album art was gone and all my text was center justified, as if it had never existed. (While it's all still there in my Library, displaying just fine~)
    So I figured I better uncheck that box (even though it was called "Display album artwork" in the first place) and try to undo what had just happened. I did and on the next synch, it said something like "Optimizing Album Artwork for iPod" and I thought YAY. Maybe it's going back on. But the synch lasted only a few minutes (not seeming long enough for 4,000+ songs worth of artwork to get on there) and, again, when I turned my iPod back on the album artwork was STILL not back on, this time my text being completely left justified (like there SHOULD be artwork) but there was nothing else there...
    I've always been a stickler for my library, making sure all my albums are organized and have artwork (often making my own when I can't find it) and I will be VERY upset if I can't figure out a way to get it to display on my iPod again!!! TT__TT I'm so sad. Now both checking or unchecking that box that started this in the "Music" tab do absolutely nothing, and nothing seems to put my artwork back on. Please, if anybody can suggest anything, I would be SO grateful... (Restoring the iPod is the only other thing I can think of [it's software is completely up to date[ and I really don't have the time for that right now.)

    Sounds very weird and talk about unintended results ...
    By the by restoring the ipod is not a bid deal (although takes some time).
    How about this (have not tried it) and assuming you still have artwork on your music library in itunes. Turn on manual synch mode once the ipod is connected. You should see the list of songs you actually have on the ipod. Delete every song and synch (I know, it will take time since you have 4000 + songs). and then turn back automatic synch and re-synch. May be once in manual mode, you could try re-synchinig only a portion of your library to see if it works That's the best I can think of.

  • After i downloaded IOS5 most of my album art on my iPod touch is missing, but its still on my computer.

    some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?

    Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.
    Regards.

  • A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.

    I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.

  • Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

    I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

    "And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
    are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

  • Music disappearing from iPod touch?

    I have had my iPod touch nearly a year now and until today it was problem free. I was having problems with it syncing first of all and then when i ran a diognostics it suddenly connected but with the expense of my music??
    It says that nearly 7MB is in use under 'other', however this is neither shown on my iPod or iTunes.
    Anyone had similar problems or any idea how i can fix this problem?

    Yes. An iPod can only sync to one iTunes library/computer. To change syncing computers do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • I was changing album art on my ipod touch 4th gen with a different laptop then all my music disappeared (the titles are still there but the music is gone and the space is empty) i recently updated to ios 6 and the laptop im using just got itunes on it

    i chose not to sync my ipod for fear i would lose all my songs because the new laptop had no songs. ni chose to manage files manually, and after around 3 chages my ipod only read my purchased songs. so i unplugged my ipod and pluggd it back in. the laptop said i had all of my music in my ipod. after this the titles appeared but they were that light gray color and i couldnt play them. what happened???

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Album Art Disappears after not using iPod for several days...what up?

    I've searched all the forums about this, but couldn't find anything on point. Album art loads fine from itunes to the ipod. as long as i'm using the ipod regularly, there's no problem.
    but, if i don't use it for awhile, some of the album art has disappeared. More album art disappears if i wait longer b/t uses (i think). This is where you turn on your ipod and you get that apple screen, then after a while the normal first screen comes up (play lists, artists, albums, etc.).
    Any ideas on why this is happening and what i can do to fix it? I'm running the latest itunes and the latest ipod updater (1-10-2006 i think). It's a 30gb color ipod.
    thanks!
    jeff

    You didn't mentioned the last version of iTunes ... I had a similar problem with album art but after installing iTunes 6.0.3 (with iPod updater 2006-01-10) and going thru the drill of deselecting and selecting "Display album artwork in your iPod" everything was fine.
    Hope this works.

  • Music's Album Art Disappeared

    Music's album art disappeared. All of it. And I didn't even sync it or update it or anything. This just happened randomly in the middle of my day.
    After I synced it to my computer, it disappeared from there too.
    So, like, what the f?
    And can I get it back somehow? Or do I have to re-look up artwork for 3,000+ songs and re-upload them one by one?

    Sounds very weird and talk about unintended results ...

  • Not all album artwork showing on ipod touch (4th gen)?

    A while back, I added some of my own artwork to some songs I downloaded to my library. At some point after that some of the album art disappeared when I was viewing the album list on my ipod (4th gen with iOS 6.1.6), and only then - artwork remained for songs and when looking in the album itself. The missing artwork seems to be at random although albums I recently bought (last few months) still have their artwork. I have restarted my ipod many times since the problem occurred, with no effect.

  • Delete songs from ipod touch

    how do you delete songs from ipod touch if can help me that would be great.

    planb77 is wrong. There is a way to delete songs, artists, albums, and playlists directly from your ipod touch. Simply click the song, artist, album, or playlist you want to delete but dont let go and slide your finger to your left (or right) and a red button will pop up to the right of the song, album, artist, or playlist title saying "Delete". Simply click it to delete it. To cancel and hide this button or option, simply slide right or left again or tap your finger anywhere on the screen away from the "delete" button.
    BTW I am not absolutely sure if this will work on all previous versions of the Ipod Touch. I am running iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 to be excact.
