Album art displays in ITunes but not on iPod for some album

Hi, I have setup album art on iTunes for my ipod, and in itunes all the art shows correctly.
However the iPOD just displays album art for only some of the albums, not all...
This is really frustrating Apple. How can I report or fix this problem?
Thanks
Simon

I have THE EXACT same problem. Except, I added all album art by hand, to my ipod playlist after hand-selecting all 356 songs to my nano. Only to find that when I attempted to transfer the album art to my nano even after checking and unchecking the album art option, it does not work. Does anyone know if the album art needs to be added to itunes before songs are put onto the nano?

Music display in iTunes, but not iPhone

I've had this phone a while now and never had this problem:
I dragged/dropped music to the phone (manually managed) and the music shows up "on the phone" while iTunes is open. It has an artist and album name is also not part of compilation.
The music won't display on the phone once I disconnect iTunes. I can even PLAY the music directly from the phone through iTunes - so it's on there somewhere....
I am NOT syncing over wi-fi and wi-fi is disabled....
mmmh....when i search by song title it comes up - and i can play it - along with a display the album art.
BUT the artist/album appear as "unknown" even though in iTunes they are named and display as such....
iPhone 4 on Verizon running iOS5.

Photo albums appear in iPhoto & iTunes, but NOT iPhone

Shot a bunch of pics with the iPhone. Imported into iPhoto - those libraries synced with iTunes & now I have five albums that appear in iTunes.
Selected "Sync photo from iTunes" & checked the "all photos and albums" radio button. Sync progress completes without errors.
No albums appear on my iPhone.
Just says "camera roll".
Why won't the albums sync?

Try the selected albums options, or the selected events options, and check all the boxes.
Note that while pics taken on the phone go into the Camera Roll, pics synced from the computer go in the Photo Library.
Do you have 'albums' or do you have 'events'? By default, iPhoto imports pics as events; albums are manually created in iPhoto. If you have synced 'all photos and albums' checked in iTunes and you have no albums, the photos should still show up in the Photo Library.
After you sync, what shows up in your Photo Library (with the generic sunflower icon)?
EDIT: Ok, you tried that. In the Photos app, do you have a Photo Library?
Also, what version of the iPhone OS and what version of iTunes are you running?
You might see something like this:

Ever since I turned on ITunes match, album art shows in coverview but not in other views on my iphone. Anyone else having this problem?

Problems with artwork displaying in iTunes but not on iPod screen

I have iTunes (7.6) and a 5th gen, 80GB, firmware 1.2.3 iPod.
Not infrequently, I find that a song's artwork is visible in iTunes, but not on the iPod itself. Sometimes the artwork is displayed simply as a black rectangle on the iPod.
The converse situation also sometimes happens - when album info is retrieved from the CDDB, sometimes album artwork is also retrieved - but this is not displayed in the iTunes software, only on the iPod.
And yes, the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox is selected in iTunes.
Does anyone have any more info about this?
Are there any restrictions on image file formats? Maximum size? Type? Interlaced or not?
Last time I asked this question I got zero response
It is an irritating problem, cos there's no way to check what the artwork looks like on the iPod without disconnecting it from my PC :/

OK to drag this thread back on topic:
I think the "sync" thing is irrelevant anyways.
What I tried in the end was viewing my iPod in iTunes,
navigating through to the check box for "display album artwork",
UNcheck it, and click apply.
At this point, iTunes said, with NO confirmation "Are you sure?" dialog, "DELETING ARTWORK ON iPOD" !! :-O I was not pleased
However I then re-selected the "display album artwork" box and clicked Apply. The process took about 10 minutes to complete.
When I then disconnected the iPod, the black squares were gone, and the artwork was NOT deleted (phew!) and was displaying correctly. I was pleased
The amount of "other" megabytes on the display in iTunes for my iPod's contents had shrunk.
I dunno what all this actually did - are the artwork files embedded in the MP4 files on the iPod? Or are they stored seperately and linked to them?
I'm wondering if the "black square" thing is caused by an MP4 having an embedded image, and there also being a conflicting image file elsewhere on the hard drive? But this is just guessing.

Album artwork appears in itunes but not ipod nano....please help

some songs have album artwork (the ones i purchased from itunes and downloaded from cds) but the ones i got from my sister's computer with itunes will not show the album artwork even though it's in itunes.....please help if you can

The same thing is happening with me. I don't know what to do. I have some album art on my ipod but most doesn't show up. I am so frusterated. I hope you figure it out.

Movie "Album Art" showing in iTunes but on on Apple TV

I'm backing up my collection of DVDs onto my computer's hard drive so that I can have the library at the click of my Apple TV. The Apple TV is the brand new version. I added a bunch of movie covers via the Get Info > Artwork option and they are all showing up properly in iTunes.
However, when I power up my Apple TV, its not showing up. Its showing like the first frame of the movie instead. Any idea how to remedy this? I rebooted both my computer and the AppleTV, left them off overnight, etc. Nothing seems to work.

I gave that a shot but it didnt seem to do anything. Funny thing is I added a movie tonight along w/ the album art, etc. Same process I did as the others. The one I added tonight works fine but the ones from a few days ago dont.
Not the end of the world, but I guess I like things to work and be uniform. If anyone else has encountered this let me know.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

Art displayed in library but not 'Now Playing' window

This is odd.
It's not the case with all the albums that I've got but in the view in iTunes where you can scroll through album artwork the images appear, but for some of them they don't appear in the 'Now playing' window.
I can't even find where the images that I can see are stored. When I do a Get-Info on the album/song there is no artwork in the info pane, but it's there in iTunes, just not in all places.
I've sourced most of artwork through Widget Foundry's Amazon Album Art widget, although a signifant number of the images where dragged and dropped from Google Images.
Any clues?
Thanks.
PS - using latest OS and iTunes

This is odd.

Music > iTunes > Album Artwork ?
I think new artwork goes here if downloaded by iTunes because if CoverFlow had to scan through all your tracks to find the embedded artwork it would slow it down too much.

Album Art Display on iTunes 10

When I saw that iTunes 10 brought back the "Digital Jukebox" browsing mode (that's the one in which the album artwork is shown on the right side of the song list for that album) I was very happy.
But the way it works in iTunes 7 is a mess. The sizes available for the album art are all way too small, and having the album and artist names shown on the right side of the album art is very messy.
I think the sleekest, most convenient display or browsing method iTunes has introduced to date was the iTunes 7 incarnation of the "Digital Jukebox". You can choose what size you want the album art to be, the album and artist info is shown BENEATH the album art, and the design of how it looks is the sleekest yet.
I'm wondering if anybody else misses this display mode and if there's any way to effectively convey to the Apple people that it would be a good idea to bring it back.
It would be grreat if iTunes was a bit more customizable in that sense: choosing colors for icons and having much more power over how your library is displayed.

First, go to View > as List.
Then use the search bar to your advantage. Type the name of the artist for the album at the top right. This will only show the songs pertaining to that artist/album. Then just Ctrl + A and edit multiple items and go from there
Hope that helps.

MP3 plays in iTunes but not iPhone

I have the iPhone 3G running 2.0.2 software. I have a bunch of .mp3 files that I loaded into iTunes and then sync'd with my iPhone. There is one mp3 that plays just fine in iTunes but will not play on my iPhone. When I select the song on the iPhone, the artwork shows up for a second but then it just skips to whatever the next song is. I tried deleting the song from iTunes and re-sync'ing my iPhone and verifying the song was no longer there, then re-adding the song back to iTunes and re-sync'ing my iPhone but it still just skips the song. There is nothing special about the mp3, it's 5.4mb, 128kbps, 44.100kHz, -9.8dB, MPEG-1 Layer 3. Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply. Converting to AAC worked but why out of 653 mp3's, I ended up finding 13 different files that wouldn't play on iPhone until converted? Very odd. Does that "Consolidate Library" option in iTunes convert everything to AAC? I'm wondering if I should go ahead and do all my files. I'm wondering what the advantages/disadvantages are?

Album artwork shows in iTunes but not on ipod

Hello all, I have a 30g video ipod and am having trouble getting the album artwork to show up. In itunes I have clicked the show or hide album art button and when I click ipod in the source list and play the song I have loaded the album art onto I can see it in the bottom left. I have also clicked the options button and the display album art box is checked. The artwork still doesnt show on my ipod.
Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, it is safe. You're simply putting your iPod back to its original state as it was when new. To do this, you should have an 'iPod Software Updater' folder somewhere either in your Control Panel or simply on Drive C. I'm on a Mac and its in my applications folder.
Anyhow, when you find the folder, just open it up and you'll see your iPod update files. Choose the most recent one and double click. It will then give you the option to "restore" your iPod to its original state. Once you do this, your iPod will be completely erased and you can start from scratch.
I'm glad you got your images to appear once again. You can use the info above for future reference in case you need it.

Why does the album artwork show in itunes but not on my iphone?

When im in itunes all the artwork shows but when i sync it not all of the artwork comes up on my iphone.

I guess I have successfully solved that. Somehow  predicted this problem's appearance and added a function of ID3 tags version conversion. Just convert all of your mp3 files' tags to version 2.4. worked for me, now bitrate gets downgraded and artwork is safe.
p.s.: some of the artwork (especially files that originally were higher bitrate AAC converted to 128 kbit/s) won't show the artwork in the artist or album list at first. just play any of such songs and artwork will show up.

My findings -- Album art shown in iTunes 7 but not in iPod

Well, after several round of testings, here's my conclusion:
For song in iTunes library, i can change the album art and upload the song to iPod. The album art shows in iPod and stays...however if i decided to change the album art later for the same song by directly dragging the album art to song info box in iPod, the updated album art displays in iTunes BUT not in iPod, in fact NO ALBUM ART is displayed at all...even though how many times i check/uncheck the DISPLAY ALBUM ART box.
The only way to change the album art again is to drag the new album art to the song in my iTunes library and later drag that song again to iPod.
As a summary, it DOES NOT allow me to add or change any album art directy to songs stored in iPod. The only workaround is have the exact copies of songs stored in iTunes library and do auto sync.
For me this is totally not flexible as in order to save hard drive space, i believe most of us will store songs in Ipod and remove them from iTunes library (correct me if i am wrong). And all we can do is wait til the next release of firmware from Apple.........
Hello Apple, r u listening out there!?!?!
BTW, i am using iTunes 7 and iPod 5G 60GB 1.2 firmware.

phewww. Been going crazy, thinking i waas the only one with this problem. It was never a problem with 6.5.
and yes, we all dont save tracks in the media library. i have never even used it
So fix ASAP.
