Album artwork is not transerring to Ipod Classic

Hi,
I have a recently purchased Ipod Classic and prior to now, album artwork in Itunes was being copied to the Ipod when syncing. I do have the album artwork option activated. I downloaded all the artwork that was available and it shows in Itunes.
What's up with sudden inability to get the artwork to the Ipod? I'm concerned something happened to the Ipod, tho I can't imagine what. All the albums I'm trying to add artwork to on the Ipod, were added to my music library from CD's not purchased and previously I had no problem with this.

Hi,
Yep that did it..except for the albums it wasn't able to get artwork for. The funny thing is, other albums that previously had artwork that were from albums synced from my laptop, lost their artwork in the cache rebuild. I'm hoping if I do something similar on the laptop, it'll restore the artwork without messing up the ones I just fixed on the desktop.

  • Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

    I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
    What's going on, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance..

    in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

  • Some manually artwork does not appear on ipod classic

    I spent 5 hours yesterday searching for and adding cover art to my itunes albums. When I synched it to my ipod classic some of the art shows and some does not. I tried turning off the ipod and resetting it but no luck.
    any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded or downloaded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from the first track to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists for the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them simply create a Smart Playlist with the rule *Has Artwork is False*. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize a smallish image you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably a good minimum size. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600 which is probably a good maximum.
    If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Control-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I've created a script for Windows users that can replicate art from any track found to have art into any other tracks from the same album (stored in the same folder) which you can find at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache *(Pre iTunes 9 only)*, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again. *Post iTunes 9*, the only option is a full restore of the iPod.

  • Album artwork does not sync to iPod

    I am hoping somebody has encountered the same and has a solution to the following issue:
    I successfully had iTunes 7 automatically download the album artwork for most of the titles in my collection (i.e. those that appear in the iTunes music store). These were all ripped CDs, not purchased songs. I can see the album artwork in iTunes just fine.
    However, when I sync my iPod, none of the art is transferred to my device. The only workaround seems to be making a change to the tags - forcing iTunes to recognize the files have changed. However in doing this, it seems my iPod is getting bloated by 1-2MB of artwork files per album. That seems like a lot. Furthermore, re-syncing all 40GB of music with tag changes will take a long time.
    Does anybody have a solution as to why the auto-downloaded cover art is not automatically being transferred to my iPod, and in a space-efficient manner?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem, and the suggestions here didn't work (other posters have made similar suggestions). Not sure if it's relevant, but all my iPod artwork is manually entered via the "Get Info" function. I didn't have this problem before iTunes 7.

  • ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'

    The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
    The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?

    Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
    When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?

  • Nano3rd: album artwork does not transfer

    my album artwork is not transferring...when i click on "display album artwork" and click "apply", it optomizies halfway through and then i receive an error message. it reads "ipod cannot be synchronized"...some of the artwork is from songs i have purchased from itunes. whats up? is it a computer error with nothing to do with itunes or nano?

    I've read posts where you need to
    1) untick the option to send artwork to the ipod
    2) sync the ipod
    3) eject the ipod
    4) reconnect the ipod and tick the option to sync artwork
    5) sync the ipod again.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

    Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
    I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

    Good to hear you found the solution.

    You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
    BTW this is the iPod touch forum.

  • Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

    i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

    It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes.  Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up.  I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have.  Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means.  But maybe someone else reading this post is.
