Album art problem after downloading iTunes 5.0

I downloaded iTunes 5.0 this morning, then I downloaded some songs. When I updated my iPod, about 1700 songs had their album art switched around. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What the heck is going on here?

I ended up calling Apple support. they had me restore my iPod (wipe out the disk) and then plug back into iTunes and reload the iPod. Although it took 2 hours to reload, it was a lot faster than redoing all the album artwork. I continue to be amazed at how much maintenance is involved with the iPod. It is a huge dis-satisfier.

Some of my album art disappeared after downloading iOS 8?

I checked my iTunes library after downloading the new update and I discovered that a ton of the album art on my songs are gone. When I went onto iTunes today to restore them, (I already know how to do that) it appeared that all of the art was fine. I synced my device for good measures. I went to check on my library once more, but I found that it was still the same, all blank. I tried once more and some were restored, but still a majority were blank. I know it's not a big deal, but I'm a sucker for everything all set and ready.

Sound/Video Problem after Downloading iTunes 10.5

I recently downloaded the most recent iTunes update, 10.5. After downloading it, I am having problems with the sound and picture of television shows. When I try to watch a tv show, the sound is muffled, and the picture slows or skips constantly. This happens on every tv show I've tried to play, not just one. I haven't noticed any problems with sound from songs though. I had this problem once before after downloading the previous version of iTunes, and completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to solve the issue, and it worked. However, I tried doing it once again this time, and there was no success. I've tried disabling sound enhancements, and that also had no effect. Quicktime is installed and updated as well. I'm running Windows 7. Any help or advice is appeciated.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean. iTunes doesn't save a folder of playlists, but if you mean that the iTunes library is empty, or doesn't contain playlists that it had before the upgrade then either restore your backup or make use of the following...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps youshouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Problems after downloading itunes update

I downloaded the itunes update so my computer would quit asking me if I wanted to. Now about half of my music library is missing. There seem to be pieces of it in the music folder and on various playlists, but there are several duplicates, so I know it's not the whole library. I tried consolidating the library, but nothing happened. The songs I had on my nano are still on it, but I had lots more than I could fit. Also, my computer is not automatically transferring new stuff to the ipod, even though I get a message saying the ipod sync is complete. To get new songs on the nano, I have to drag and drop them. Any ideas?

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.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

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!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

the album art appears correct on itunes but when i play the songs on my ipod the artwork for the wrong album will appear, like they all get jumbled. and not all of my songs for certain artists will go on my ipod, they play on itunes, but won't show up on my ipod. please help.
fifth generation Windows XP

I have had a similar issue, but much more...started with the messed up album art, and now the following problems are happening (5th Generation 30 GB ipod):
won't play video - Just black screen for 10 seconds, then back to menu
sometimes won't play podcasts - when clicking on podcast it goes to the play screen and then without the timer moving it acts as if it's played the entire podcast, and goes back to menu.
also, sometimes the music or podcast gets terribly garbled almost like "electronic noise"
I have restored 2 times, and reset numerous times, but it continues to happen!!

Album Art Problems Galore

So basically, I started having album art problems recently where the album art would appear correctly in my iTunes, but shows up on my iPod as a black square.
I was told to turn off album art and turn it back on, which helped, but then some of my album art just stopped showing up altogether (even though it's still visible in iTunes).
So I'm wondering what options I have? I was thinking about just completely wiping off all the album art and re-applying it; but #1, I don't know what the easiest way to wipe them off would be; #2, I don't know if re-doing all my album art will even fix the problem. With my luck, it'd have the same issue after I redid all my album art >.<

Not sure if this will be of any help but, if you're willing...
In itunes, convert the problem songs/albums' ID3 Tags to v2.3, even if they're already v2.3. (Right Click on song(s), on the menu that appears, "Convert ID3 Tags")
Then uncheck "Display Album Artwork on ipod", sync ipod. Then re-enable the "Display Album Artwork on ipod" again and sync it again.
Another possibility is that the artwork for those songs is, somehow, unpalatable with the ipod. If so, just get artwork from another source (amazon, wiki, etc.) on one or two songs (just to see if it works) and sync, see if it works then.
Don't know if these will work though. Good luck and keep us informed.

Album Art - Why can't iTunes do what WMP does!!?

I'm having problems with my album art on the iPod - I have a 40gig photo. It got screwed up with the previous updater (would only show Mercury Rev's deserter songs for ALL albums!), and has now completely vanished with the latest updater, although all artwork is still on iTunes.
I was downloading some CD's at work today using Windows Media Player, and not only did it automatically download the album artwork, it also displays this when you click on the folders in Window's explorer - much more elegant than iTunes...
Why can't Apple implement this for iTunes.
And how do I fix my Album art problem!???!!

the reason iTunes is different than WMP is twofold:
The auto downloading, if I understand correctly, is under contract from a service that Apple didn't sign up to. Therefore WMP gets the files, iTunes doesn't.
The art in iTunes is kept, as per the official specifications, within the file itself, no in the folder.
You can probably fix the art problem by clearing and reloading the iPod.

HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2. Why is this?

Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
1) As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions] (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone. Then ejected iPhone from USB.
2) Reconnected iPhone via USB. iTunes did not start up. Started up iTunes manually. Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button. Let iTunes run its application process.
3) Then checked the "open iTunes" option. Selected APPLY button. Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES. Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes. Reconnected iPhone via USB. AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!). Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing. Ejected iPhone. Closed out iTunes.
4) Connected iPad via USB (on computer). AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered. I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance. Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.
