Album art not syncing on iPod Video

Hi.
I'm new to iPods. Don't hate me.
I purchased a bunch of songs at work on my G5. That's not my "home" Mac. I copied them to my iPod in drive mode, brought them back to the "home" Mac. Added them to iTunes by drag and drop. Synced. They show up in iTunes and on my iPod, but the album art is not there. What happened?
Again, I purchased them on a different computer and loaded to my "home" Mac.
Is it at all possible for the art to show up?
Thanks!

The album art is stored in the iPod's database. This should work...

If not, try copying songs from the mac to the mac...

  • Album Art Not Syncing Correctly!!!!

    Howdy! I really need help with my brand new iPod Touch! The album art doesnt sync correctly!!! What do I do to fix it?!?!?!?!?!?!1

  • Album art not syncing

    This was briefly mentioned in a couple of threads, but I thought it should have a thread of its own.
    I got my pre-order Touch yesterday (week 38), and everything for the most part looks great. I've had no internet problems, screen problems, syncing problems, etc.
    When I first synced my iPod, it took a while, which I expected. After syncing, I immediately began listening to music and strolling through cover flow. Everything looked fine. When I synced it again, removing some albums that I just never listen to, I noticed that some album art isn't present. Also, when I synced it this time, it said that there was some diagnostic information from my iPod being sent to Apple.
    Now, there is no album art for albums beginning with T through those starting with #'s. In cover flow, you can see the album art only when it's not being viewed directly. If you go directly to it on cover flow, you just see the blank box. In list mode, it just shows the typical blank box for album art for these albums. A change had to take place, because the first album I listened to had album art. Now, it doesn't.
    Are there any others having this problem?

    I am having this issue and too want to know how to fix it. :[

  • Movies and TV Shows will not sync with iPod Video 80gb -

    Okay, here is the problem:
    I have an iPod Video. Previously, I have had roughly 20 movies that I ripped from my OWN DVD's to mp4 format. They all played fine and synced fine with my iPod.
    Then I updated my iTunes version to 7, and now I cannot get the Movies or TV shows to sync to my iPod. I get no error message. I cannot get them to sync manually or automatically. I spoke to tech support and they refused to help me because they only offer sync support for content purchased from iTunes. Of course, when I told them that I had purchased several TV shows from iTunes, they told me to send an email to the iTunes store and have them let me re-download the tv shows??
    What is going on here? It worked fine before? Same iPod, same computer? The movies are either mp4 format or h.264?
    Help!

    I'm having extremely similar problems with my ipod right now
    The only differences are: I have a 30gb and I already have movies on my ipod, it just won't let me add anything new to it!
    I have about 12gb of free space left (the movie I want to add isn't that big)
    I can manage (add/delete) songs and photos on it, it's just not letting me do anything with my movies! It keeps saying this whenever I try to copy my movie to it "[movie name] was not copied to ipod because it can't be played on this ipod." Which is total BS because there are already about 34 movies/music videos on it!
    Help!!
    Oh, ps, it's not letting me put album artwork on there anymore either... due to error code -50 (which I have NOT been able to find any help articles on!)

  • Album Art not syncing properly since updating Touch and iTunes (Mac and Win

    Both my partner and I are both experiencing problems with cover art on our Touches.
    He uses Vista and I use a Mac - before we updated everything was fine. iTunes displays the right album art but when you run through coverflow on the touches you end up with random album art. Currently I have a Janet Jackson album cover on an album belonging to A-ha.
    The same problems occurs with my partners touch.
    Is this a bug in the Touch update or iTunes update? Can it be fixed - I am not sure how though as iTunes appears to be displaying the right information!

    I have not seen this behavior, but you might want to try a restore on the Touch to see if that helps.
    I have to wonder about something possibly being wrong on your library - possibly outdated or bad ID3 tags.
    YOu could try to fix this by: (I saw this fixed issues for others elsewhere, but I have not done it)
    Open iTunes.
    Select all of your music in your library.
    Goto the Advanced menu and select "Convert ID3 tags"
    Select ID3 tag version and select 2.4 from the drop-down menu, click OK.
    It will take a while, depending on how much music you have.
    Restore the iPod(s) and sync again.
    Does that fix it?

  • Album Art not showing on iPod

    This has been an annoying problem the past several years of using iTunes, I was able to get some versions of the iTunes to work but I just uploaded the new 7.5 iTunes version...and when I try to add an album art to the songs on my iPod they don't show up except on iTunes.
    Is this iTunes version being screwy? Anyone else with the same problem, anyone with a solution?

    I'm having the same problem, iTunes could not find the album art for several imported albums so I scanned the cover, it shows on iTunes perfectly but not on my iPod

  • Album art not syncing on 3G

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, it only syncs some of my album artwork, and then about half of it appears with the standard blank, even though it has artwork assigned to it on iTunes.
    Any ideas what the issue could be?

    Just discovered a way to not fix this problem, but stop it from happening again.
    I suspect our lost artwork was from copy/pasting the artwork into itunes. somehow the syncing with the iphone, has made itunes 'forget' where it saved the temporary file of the copy/pasted artwork.
    So...
    i created a folder in itunes (user > music >itunes > album artwork) call 'manual'. i physically saved the JPEGS in there for all the artwork i wanted to add manually.
    i then went back to itunes, selected the albums with the missing art, did 'get info' (apple I) on one of the songs in each album, and then instead of copy/pasting the art into Artwork tab, i did 'Add' then selected the JPEG file from my 'manual' folder.
    next sync (and all subsequent syncs so far), the problem has not re-appeared.
    HOWEVER! oddly it still affects one CD. no idea why. the artwork is in Itunes, but just doesn't show on the iphone. no idea why.
    BOTTOM LINE Apple need to fix this bug. It's really irritating.
    And one quick way around this is to stop users having to manually add album art all the time. All my songs are on itunes to buy, so there is no reason why iTunes couldnt supply the artwork. Apple need to link the database they use to recognise CDs (when you 'rip' them to iTunes) with their own itunes store database, so if the track data or album art is missing, you have the option to 'find this album'. this would be a fantastic feature.

  • Album art wont sync to iPod, why?...

    My iTunes library has all its artwork. However, when I put my songs on the iPod, the album artwork does not transfer as well. When I click "Get album artwork", it gets it for my iTunes library and not my iPod. Is there any way to fix this problem, or do I have to manually add artwork?

    What I did when that happened is that I went to my Ipod under devices, went to music and unchecked "Display album artwork on your iPod". I synced, and then let my iPod sit for a second. I reconnected and clicked "Display album artwork on your iPod" for a second time (so it was then checked), and synced. After that I looked in Cover Flow and everything was OK again!

  • Album artwork not syncing

    Ever since the new iTunes and Yosemite I find most of my album art is missing on my iPhone 5S.  It's all in iTunes and looks just fine.  It's mostly missing on my iPhone.  I've tried removing my music library from the iPhone and then re-syncing it from scratch.  Still hasn't worked.  I thought maybe some one here might have an answer.
    Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26
    iOS 8.1.2
    Thanks!
    Steve

    These instructions will have to be modified if you've moved the iTunes folder from its usual location.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/Cache
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a subfolder named "Cache" selected. Quit iTunes if it's running. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Relaunch the application and re-download all album artwork.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Album Art not showing up?

    Has anyone else had a problem with their album art not showing up in coverflip? These are all CD's that I own and ripped onto my computer with iTunes, and if I look at them in iTunes I can see the cover art. But when I turn my ipod sideways to flip through the albums, I see a bunch of black squares. Some of the albums I can see the artwork when it's not the selected album, but if I scroll to it, the art disappears and it's just an empty black square. The only albums where this seems to work properly are the ones I bought and downloaded digitally through iTunes, but most of my music collection is CD's, so I'm really hoping there's a way to fix this.
    I've already tried googling pictures of the album art and re-tagging the songs with the picture on there, and it does do a sync afterwards, but I'm still seeing black squares. I also tried deleting one of the albums from my ipod entirely, and reloading it, and that worked the first time I went into coverflip, but in subsequent tries it has reverted back to being just a black square.

    use the search discussions box. there are loads of threads on this. you definitely aren't alone
    the only real solution i've seen is to re-sync the problem tracks, i've probably missed some though, so it's worth looking around.

  • Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

    I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
    Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
    If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

  • Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

    I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
    I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
    I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
    I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
    I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
    But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
    Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
    How do I prevent it?
    Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
    Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
    Thank You

    Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
    I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
    Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

  • Purchased albums- do not sync in order

    My purchased albums do NOT sync in the playlist order of the album. Shuffle is NOT on.
    Now I am getting messages that my software is too old, click on the tab on my nano. WHAT TAB?
    Gateway crap desktop   Windows XP   Intel Pentium III, over 512mb RAM

    In iTunes, on the screen that comes up when you plug in your nano, there is an Update button. Does it say that the iPod needs to be updated or does it need updating?
    If it needs an update, update it.
    Also, how are you viewing the albums? That may be affecting what order you are seeing them in. Go to Music>Albums>then find the albums. does that help?
    If not, try a Restore. (right next to the Update button).
    Also, the iPod nano Forums may help you more in the future.
    I hope this helps and post back!
