Album art not transferring to N85

It's a small problem but kind of a nuisance. I don't understand why, when I transfer music to my N85, the album art is not transferred with it.
I do it using sync from windows media player 11.
Any solutions, anyone?

  • Album art not transfering from iTunes to iPod

    Manually managing my ipod. When copying songs over to the iPod, only about half of the album art that is in my iTunes shows up on the iPod. I deleted all of the music from my 160 and copied it over again to see if it would fix the problem but nothing changed. Some album art comes over, some does not.

    Are you auto-syncing the iPod? If so, when you add artwork to songs in your library the songs should be replaced by iTunes on your next sync. If not, you can force a new copy on your iPod by (a) set your iPod to sync only checked items, (b) un-checking the problem items, (c) re-sync your iPod, (d) re-check the problem items, and (e) re-sync again. But this process should not be necessary if you're on auto-sync -- any tag changes should automatically trigger a replacement of the updated song on your iPod.
    If you're manually managing your iPod, if you update songs in your library the updates will not automatically transfer to your iPod. To do that, you should delete the songs from your iPod which have been updated with artwork in iTunes, then add the updated copies from iTunes back to your iPod.

  • Album art not transferring

    Gday, I am trying to get album art onto my 4th gen nano. I have an 8 gig nano, and about 11gig of music, so i transferred as many songs as i could onto my nano. Then tried to get album art onto the nano (Advanced > get album art). It reckons it has got all the album art possible, yet there is no more than before... I know that there is more because it retrieved far more album art (for the same artist / album) when i did the same on my entire library. Please help its quickly giving me the s#..
    Cheers

    Actually, all my album artwork was added in itunes prior to me even owning the ipod so all my artwork was in place before the initial copy of my music to my ipod. Another issue is when I browse through my music via the horizontal album cover scroll and I choose a album and song to play, when I rotate my ipod vertically, sometimes the album artwork that is supposed to fill the screen in the center as the song plays disappears and I again get the ?, even though the artwork is physically there. If I rotate it back horizontally, it's still missing until I thumb through a couple album covers then it pops back in.

  • Album art not transferring to nano!

    I just took this 4gb nano out of the box, and I can't get my album art to be displayed while any song is being played. I have checked the box in itunes to "display album artwork on your ipod", but the art is still nowhere to be found. The art is on the library music, and the list for my ipod on itunes says the art is there, but it just isn't there when you actually play a song on the ipod's screen. I'm in desperate need of help.

    I had this same problem with my 60gb iPod colour. Try turning the album art off in your iPod settings. This will delete all the album art. After that, turn the album art back on on the iPod from settings. This worked for a while with me, then the problem re-occured. I eventually returned it and got a fresh one. But, i've got friends who this procedure worked seemlessly for. hope this helps, sorry if it doesn't

  • 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.

  • Installing art when "Album Art Not Modifiable"

    I was recently trying to drag and drop album artwork into the iTunes photo receptacle in the lower left hand corner and noticed that it read "Album Art Not Modifiable". Does that mean I can't paste anything there? There's no art at all currently, even when I ask iTunes to find the album art for that CD. If anyone knows of a way to override this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

    Is that really true?
    'Cause being new to this, I've only just added a few albums as .wav and succesfully downloaded album art, using the functionality within Itunes. And this should not have been possible?For instance Loretta Lynn "Van Lear Rose", Emmylou Harris "Stumble into grace" and Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach "Painted from Memory" all worked just fine. But Itunes was not able to download album art for all my albums - Simply Red "Greatest Hits" from 1996 was one that did not work. So I browsed the internet and was able to find jpegs of this album art, which I know have stored locally. But how do I get that into Itunes?

  • 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.

  • TS1815 download album art not available thru itunes

    How do you download album art not available in iTunes store.
    I could copy and paste in the older version but not since the latest update
    I'm using windows
    Thanks Mark pianoman

    I, too, relied on the name of the iTunes library being displayed on the top header bar of the iTunes window. I have 2 iTunes libraries that I go back and forth on all the time, and now I really have to look at the contents to figure out which library I'm in at any given moment.  What a pain!!  And what a stupid move to diminish functionality, Apple.  You folks have been doing this more all the time lately -- taking away perfected functionality -- and either deleting it or changing it just for the sake of a new look.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!  Please! 
    A good example of that is the dim grey text in all too much Apple everything these days.  Black is beautiful, please!  And especially useful in reading!!  And, apparently, enough people thought so, too, since I see black text is back in iTunes 11.  It went grey, and you heard from enough people that that was something no one should have changed.  Well, as the Gipper said: Here you go again!  Bring back the Library Name.  You've got plenty of room; you don't need to put it in another vertical space -- just put in in line with the other stuff you've got there.  Put it left of the "Search Library."  That would be fine.  But, just do it!

  • Album art not being synced correctly

    I used an external tagging program to embed album art into all my song files. They show up correctly in iTunes when selected or playing, but they do not, in all cases, sync to the iPod. However, I have found that if I go to an album that has art in iTunes and does not sync to the iPod, and play each track just for an instant, and resync, the art transfers. What's weird is that it's not consistently NOT showing up on the iPod... and I certainly don't want to have to hunt down every piece of music with art that doesn't sync to the iPod and play that song. Is there a way to make iTunes refresh the library without deleting the database? I don't use iTunes to manage my physical music files.

    Thank You, now I can see the art work when I play the songs in itunes but now when I play a song on my ipod it doesnt display the artwork with the title on the ipod itself.
    I've tried everything.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Zen Vision : M - Album Art not displaying and other probl

    Hi,
    I bought a Zen Vision : M from Hong Kong last week and of course the first thing I did when I got home was install all the software that came with it and started uploading songs.
    The player is great and I love it but there are just two annoying little things.
    Two problems I encountered.
    . I uploaded the album art using the Media Explorer by clicking and draging the JPEG into the explorer as instructed, sometimes the album art shows on the player and for some albums, it just won't show on the player, however it shows correctly on the explorer. Has anybody else experienced the same thing?
    Is there going to be a new firmware to fix that?
    2. Sometimes after closing all the Creative applications and explorers, it still does not release the player. It still saids that it is docked. I have to either shut down the computer or manually pull the USB cable out which is something I don't want to do if it is still transferring information between the player and the PC... In the next firmware, there should be an option to undock the player.
    Also the website claims to have all these accesories such as the docking station and leather case for the player but I cannot find any online store that has it!?! I have searched the Europe online stores and Asia online shops yet I cannot find it. Where would I be able to find it's As I am always afraid that the connector that comes with the player will break as it feels quite fragile.

    The undocking issue are you sure the arrows are still moving. I made that mistake when I first got the vision M. I thought it was still updating.
    The arrows stay still when you can remove the Vision M and kinda rotate, actually move when you are tranferring songs.
    Looks similar.
    As for the album art ill try that today and get back to you.

  • Album Covers Not Transferring to iPad2

    Clarifications: I have an iPad 2, and I am using Windows.
    So I have my iPad 2 and computer fully synced, and all the purchases transferred, but for some reason, after going through and retrieving album artwork for my library, not all of them are transferring to my iPad.
    I had the same issue with my iPhone 4, but with that I was able to just delete all the music on my phone, and then drag everything from my library to it, and it al synced up perfectly well.
    But it won't let me delete songs from my iPad. At all.
    So can anyone tell me 1) why can't I delete songs from my iPad, and 2) how do I get my album covers transferred?
    Thank you.

    I'm having the same issue. Once, I got the standard white music note icon for a album art that didn't transfer properly, and just now I got flat black.
    I've attempted to apply the artwork directly to the iPhone itself, but this did not work, only to the artwork that was white. Any suggestions would be helpful. Also, knowing why this happens would be great.

  • Album Art not synching, I have 1 iphone 4s, 1 ipad G4, 2 ipod touch G4 and 1 ipod touch G3

    Hi, I have all the aforementioned devices listed, all with the latest ios version availabe for the device and allways have the latest version of itunes installed.
    when sysnching if the album art is provided by apple, then it will synch, but if is manually added it, some time it will be transferred and some time not, do not have  idea of what can be the problem. Please help. BTW and the album art that is/not transferred is differen in each device some time some song will get it on the ipod, some times it will not to go to the iphone and so on.
    Pleae help

    The update applied to the device is the update that the device qualifies for. In your case, all of the devices you listed qualify for the now current (Dec 17, 2014) iOS 8.1.2. If you update any of the devices you listed, they will be updated to iOS 8.1.2. You cannot install an intermediate iOS version (for example, iOS 7.1.2). Even if you had the .ipsw file (iPod Software Update) for your particular device with the version you wanted to update to, the update would fail as Apple checks the device along with what iOS version it's qualified for at the time of the update. If the iOS version you are trying to update the device to is older than what is current for your device, the update will not proceed.
    You can always choose to stay at your current iOS version on your devices and they will run/work just as before. However, if you want to run more recent apps that require iOS 7.x - iOS 8.x, you will need to update the device to iOS 8.x

  • Album art not tagged properly iPhone 4

    In iTunes, ALL my songs have their album art covers TAGGED PROPERLY!
    Upon transfer to iPhone, the art covers are NOT Synced/Tagged properly as the art covers of songs uses art covers from other songs!
    EVERY TIME I correct this, it still is messed up!!
    I had to RESTORE my iPhone then load back up ALL the songs, etc... back onto my iPhone 4 and it still does NOT WORK!
    I then used MP3Tag to PROPERLY TAG ALL the album art covers to my songs then re-import those songs BACK INTO ITUNES 10.x.x.
    Even when I manually correct it and it shows the art cover properly in iTunes, when I disconnect the iPhone and go to those SAME songs that I fixed, the art covers are MESSED UP AGAIN!!!
    Weird thing is...
    1. This problem ONLY occurs on the iPhone!!
    2. This problem does NOT occur on my iTouch or Nano or iPods!
    3. This issue has been around since the Original iPhone and still present through iPhone 4 as I've looked online and found MANY users have posted about the same problems!
    WTH IS GOING ON?!?!
    Why hasn't Apple FIXED this **** problem by now?!
    Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm really PO about this!
    Thank you!

  • Album art not showing on other Mac

    On my iMac all the album art was present in iTunes. After matching and uploading all the songs (afterwards I deleted them and redownloaded to get the 256kbps version) everything was still ok on my iMac. However on my MacBook Pro only several cd's display album art. I can't really seem to find out why some have and why some don't have the album art, it seems to be random. On my iPhone 4 most of the album art is showing, with just a few exceptions. For this I also have no explanation.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Ken Hermans - Belgium

    Make sure that in iTunes on the music tab for the ipod you have a checkmark in the box saying "Show Album Artwork on Ipod" or something along those lines. If it is not checked, do so and click apply. If it is checked then uncheck it and click apply. Then recheck it and click apply. This should get the artwork on the ipod. It may take awhile depending on how many tracks you have that have artwork.
