Album artwork not copying over to ipod touch

Hi there, run into a bit of a problem, I upgraded to 1.1.3 (not 1.1.4 just yet), when I came to re-load my entire library back onto my ipod, it copies the tracks over but fails to transfer the album artwork for abou 98% of the albums.
On my PC EVERY album has artwork as I painstakingly sat there for days on end downloading images and importing them to itunes via the "Get Info" section.
How do I get the album artwork to transfer onto my ipod along with the tracks...?
Thanks, dragon2309

Same here. I spent all day today transferring my library from one computer to another and now this. Artwork shows in itunes but not on the touch...kind of stupid that the touch doesn't have the "display album artwork" option like all the other ipods.
If someone has a way to fix this that doesn't involve removing all the music from the touch and then putting it back on that would be best.

  • Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

    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.

  • Album Artwork won't show on iPod Touch

    I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on my Windows Vista laptop and iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch. I have transferred some new albums to the iPod and the album artwork don't show on the iPod. It does show up in iTunes and if I look on my iPod through iTunes, I see the artwork when I "get info" but it won't show up on the iPod itself. Anyone out there having the same problem?

    I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
    1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
    2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
    3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
    4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
    5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
    6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
    You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

  • Could not copy song to Ipod Touch due to unknown error (-50)

    I just received a new third generation Ipod Touch as a gift and installed the latest iTunes directly from Apple's website onto my computer (Windows 7 32-bit). I added my music folder to the library and imported an m3u playlist to iTunes. Then I connected my iTouch, followed the instructions to set it up, and then I wanted to sync my songs to my iTouch. I only wanted to sync the songs on my "Favorites" playlist that I imported, so under the Music sync settings, I selected the option to only sync selected songs, playlists, etc. and selected the Favorites playlist.
    Then I attempted to sync the songs, but only a few songs would sync before an error popped up saying that it could not copy a specific song to the device due to an unknown error (-50). This error sometimes repeats for multiple songs and then the syncing stops. Each time I try to sync it again, it might sync a few more songs, but will always be interrupted by the error, after which it stops syncing. These songs are MP3 files. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    I've managed to fix the problem and discovered the reason for it. When I dragged the playlist to the iTouch section in my iTunes (instead of pressing the "Sync" button) to sync the playlist to my device, it synced everything except for the handful of songs that were giving me errors. Then the error messages it displayed were more helpful in indicating what the problem was. They could not locate the song in the playlist on my computer because I had changed the MP3 tags a long time ago, sometime after I added them to the playlist, and it never updated. (Note: the playlist I was syncing was originally made in Zune player and then I saved it as m3u format) Hope this helps someone with a similar problem in the future.

  • Album artwork not getting on my iPod nano?!

    I tried everything to get my artwork to show up on my iPod nano. I read every topic in the forums about it and I did what people said to do and it still isnt showing up. The album artwork shows up in iTunes but not on my iPod. Can anyone help me?

    Cheers,
    same here. I have downloaded artwork to iTunes and after that synced music to iPod (nano 4g) manually. But artwork doesn't show either when playing the music or in the coverflow. Don't even know whether the artwork was downloaded to iPod (is there a way to check this?) Seems to be so common problem, so hopefully Apple fixes this or gives instructions how to fix it.

  • ITunes playlist Folders not copied over to iPod?

    I have some of my playlists organized by folders (chapters of a book), but the folders do not show up on my iPod. Instead I see a flat list of play-lists -- a problem since that gives me duplicate playlist names. Am I doing something wrong?

    As far as I am aware, the iPod Touch doesn't support playlist folders. I recall many posts when playlist folder syncing was first introduced about the function being missing from the iPod Touch and the iPhone. You can however confirm that if you wish by posting in the iPod Touch forum in case a subsequent software update introduced the option: Discussions - iPod Touch

  • Album artwork not syncing to my iPod from iTunes.

    No problem seeing artwork in iTunes but none of the artwork is syncing to my 160GB Classic. Setting is OK in iTunes to get artwork and show it on my iPod. Please help. I don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance.

    It might help to force iTunes to renew all the artwork on the ipod. Disable the option to include artwork, sync, then re-enable it & sync again.
    iTunes seems to cope if at least one of the tracks on the album contains art however the Cover Flow & Album views on the iPod only work if they find artwork for track 1, and the now playing screen needs artwork embedded in each track.
    To find all the tracks in your libray that don't have artwork use http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs.
    If you're using a search engine to locate suitable images they should be square, 200x200 pixels or above and ideally borderless to give the best results in the various menus on the iPod.

  • Album artwork will not sync with my Ipod Touch

    I have the latest 8GB Ipod Touch.  I have gone into the info setting and changed the settings so that I can copy/paste album artwork not found by Apple.  The problem is this artwork will show up prior to be synced but once I synce my Ipod the artwork will not show up.  Can someone help me figure out how to fix this?  Thank you for your help!!!!!!!

    Have you checked on your iPod Touch to make sure that Podcasts are not restricted?
    Look on the iPod in Settings/General/Restrictions. If it is on, go into the Restrictions and check to see what specific restrictions you have for Podcasts.
    If it is not on, check again when you connect your iPod to your iTunes Library.
    When the Device appears on the left hand side, select Device. You are now on the Summary pane. At the top of the window, you will see Summary selected. Look to the right for the Podcasts pane and select that. On this pane are the Podcast Sync options.

  • (Item) was not copied to the iPod (Name)'s iPod Touch because it cannot be played on this iPod

    Last week I purchased Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 5 off of the iTunes store. I have purchased all previous seasons over the years and they have been able to play on my iPod. But when I purchased this new season, whenever I try to add the episodes to my device, an error comes up saying: "(Episode) was not copied to the iPod "(Name)'s iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod. This has never happened to me before, and I am very confused, and a bit frustrated. Does anyone know what this means and if there is a fix to it?

    Greetings Smallen8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that while trying to sync a video from iTunes to your iPod touch, you receive an alert that the video cannot be played on your iPod. This can happen when you attempt to sync a HD video to your device. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
    When you try to sync a purchased HD video that isn't optimized for your device, you may see a message like this one:
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer."

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....
