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?

  • 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 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.

  • Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

    This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
    I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
    I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
    I'm using Windows Vista.
    Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
    iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

  • ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

    I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

    If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

  • Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

    hi
    like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
    they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
    i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
    should i do it one by one ?
    thanks.

    it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

  • Album art in itunes but not on ipod

    Just updated to itunes 9.0.2 and when i tryed to sync my ipod itunes stopped responding so I killed it and ejected my ipod through windows. This seems to have damaged the music database because my ipod still had all the files on it but couldn't detect any of them. The next time i pluged my ipod in itunes reset it and copied all my media back onto my it. It now works fine except that no album art has been copied for music or movies. How do I get this working properly?!?!?!?

    Not sure what that means.
    Have you tried restoring the iPod?

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
