Album Cover Finder programme murdered my iPod

So - I've got a 160GB iPod classic which has been working well and synching well. I then (in retrospect - foolishly) decide to download Album Cover Finder from Amphonic Designs. It pulls down album cover art perfectly well but as soon as I connect the iPod to synch, iPod and iTunes crashes.
As a result I uninstall Album Cover Finder; delete stored artwork; and delete all music for which I'd downloaded art. But to no avail - my iPod is now no longer recognised and whenever I plug it in it tells me that the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored.
I've now restored it 3 times; I've tried to download new USB drivers; I've tried to give it a new drive letter; I've done the 5 R's - absolutely nothing works. Most of my music is still in iTunes, but my iPod now has NO music on it and isn't recognised by the system, except as being a corrupt iPod which needs to be restored (as mentioned above - to no effect).
So now I'm looking at my beautiful new iPod and it seems to be completely dead. And this makes me very sad indeed.
Any suggestions?

Yes, a restore will erase the iPod. It is a bad idea to only have your stuff on the iPod (this issue you are having is a good example why) since if anything happens to the iPod, you lose everything.

Itunes Album Cover Finder Programs

Hello,
I am wondering if anybody has used coverflow(http://www.steelskies.com/coverflow/HomePage.html) and if it can be used on the "video" Ipod??? Will this program be intergrated in the next version of Itunes??? What do you think of "Album Cover Finder." I want to have covers for all my CDs I loaded on my computer, but I don't want to spend $9.00 on a program that is hard to use or a pain. Anybody try it out?
Ozzie

I use iTunes Catalog, which is much more than a cover finder. It will import covers into iTunes. Album covers are also transferred to your iPod if you request iTunes to do so.

After updating my Ipod with IOS 5, some of my music no longer plays. Album cover is shown, but the IPod skips to the next song. Any ideas why?

A not uncommon problem. See this previous discussion.

Album Cover problem on 160 GB iPod Classic

Ever since I got this iPod I have had an issue with the album covers showing on the iPod. At first they would show fine everywhere, then they just started showing fine in the lists. Once I would click on a track the album cover would look similar to "snow" that is seen on TV when you are not getting a signal. Now, the only things that have covers on the iPod are songs I bought from iTunes, but any of my CD's I imported do not show up at all even though most of them do have covers when I look at the Cover Flow in the iTunes Library. What can be done to fix this issue?

when you turn down the volume on any apple product to "zero" with headphones plugged in, they assume it means you want the minimum audible volume. if you don't want to hear it, unplug your headphones or just don't push play. it's not a malfunction of equipment, it's operator idiocracy.

Displaying Album Cover When Song Played on iPod

I have downloaded and synched several songs. When I play the songs on my iPod, it flashes the album cover for the album the songs came from. Very nice.
I recently copied one of my CD's into iTunes and then synched all of the songs on the CD to my iPod. When I play a song from the album, no album cover appears.
Why not and what can I do to display an album cover when I play a song from the CE?

Some music downloading sites have the artwork and artists/album/song name info pre-connected to the audio file through ID3 tagging. You can put the information in yourself by right-clicking the song/album (in iTunes) and clicking "Get Info". You can then edit the song name, artist, album, etc. You can also add/remove artwork, I simply search on Google images and then copy and paste it into the "Artwork" spot. You can also right click on the album and then click "Get Album Artwork", although that doesn't always work.
Also if you go to the file in Windows Explorer you can edit the ID3 tags for album, year, artist, etc.

Album cover wont appear on my iPod - why?

I can see all the album covers when I'm in iTunes, but they will not appear on my iPod :/ Can someone tell me why?
I have read two previous topics that has similiar problems to mine, but they didn't work out. I tried to remove all pictures I had on it to see whether that could help me get the album covers to appear, that didn't work. I tried to unmark all songs so that my iPod contained no songs and then marked all songs back, but that didn't work either.
I have plenty of songs where I have copied album covers in, but I also have quite the few where the album covers has arrived while I used a CD. They don't show either. I've never used iTunes shop as I don't want to pay for these things, so please don't ask me to make an account there even though I've seen that could work out.
But the thing is also, that I did have all album covers into my iPod for a very long time, before they suddenly dissapeared around two-three weeks ago. I've really tried everything I can so now I've come to you guys for some help and I do hope you can help me and that I have explained my problem with as much details as possible.
Hoping I'll get an answer from you soon,
-Carrie

HT4623 I downloaded the new ios 6 and I like it but now I can barely see my videos. When I turn the Ipod to the side my album cover shows up and it won't show the vidoes. How can I fix this?

How do u get rid of the album cover when u turn your Ipod to the side to watch vidoes. I downloaded the new ios 7 and now I can't watch my vidoes.

Based on other posts, the misic videos no longer play in landscape mode. You get the album covers as u describe.

How to apply album cover picture to all songs on cd not just one at a time?

i found agreat website with free cd covers for my songs that will show up in the corner of my ipod. but i can figure out how to apply the picture to all the songs in an alubm an dnot just one, i can only drag the picture into the box in itunes one by one.

I highly recommend Album Cover Finder
http://www.amphonicdesigns.com/albumcoverfinder/
It's not free, but it's worth the small investment of 9 bucks.
I just point it to my iTunes library and it batch uploads the artwork to every file automatically.

Since downloading the "NEW' itunes my ipod touch will not sync correctly - songs I've added to playlists on my pc and podcasts that have newly downloaded do not synk to my ipod - I want the old version back with the album cover display - help

Now running itunes version 11.0.1.12 since the update I've added songs to playlists and they won't sync - I was able to get the songs into my ipod library by downloading from the cloud but they wouldn't even sync from my pc library to my ipod - when I first downloaded this crappy update - so sorry i did - the thing wouldn't sync at all after rebooting my windows xp pc three times it says it syncs fine and goes through all the motions but it won't pull over new content at all - songs or podcasts - on top of that the new version seems to have done away with the album cover display - I just got an android phone as a gift i was going to take back I may keep it now and drawer my beloved ipod now that apple has made it obsolete

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

New ipod picture of album cover does no appear when playing HELP

Hello
I bought a new colour screen ipod over christmas and I thought that when you are playing songs a picture of the album cover would appear on the screen, is there a specific setting I need to set up to get this, hopefully some of you can help me thanks

If you are getting the music from itunes they should have the artwork with them. If you are getting the songs elsewhere then you will have to manually add the art work.
Click the ipod options buttong in itunes and make sure the option to dispay artwork is checked.

No album cover art in Finder for mp3's? What a downgrade.

I have album cover art imbedded in ALL my mp3 files and they used to show up perfectly in Finder. Now, I see NOTHING. Cover art still shows in iTunes, but not Finder. Any fix for this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Nikicampos
I have no such problem with iTunes with a library of more than 30000 songs.
I used to be a Weekend DJ with many many Albums.
Which view in iTunes does not give you an Artwork.
One thing to note is the list view, will give you an Artwork only if there is more song than the size of the Artwork icon.
here is an example
I left only two song in the Hush Album to show that list view, wont give you the Artwork in this case.
but as you can see, the info of the selected song show the artwork.
in the finder, without Icon Preview checked, you wont see the artwork.
With icon Preview Activated
I do have more question
Why do you convert the song ?
if the original song is an aiff, wav or a movie, the artwork cannot be inserted inside the file, so converting it will result into a song without artwork.
Sometime you will see a file marked MPEG-3 but it is a video. Open it into Quicktime, export it as a audio file then put it in iTunes, and if the file is mp3 or mp4, AAC, then you can insert the Artwork.
I probably dont fully understand your problem, give me more info but I am using iTunes since the very first version and I never hard a problem with artwork.
Could you give more detail about your problems?
Thank you
Franco

Why won't my album cover won't show on my iPod touch 4g or my computer?

Why won't my album cover won't show on my iPod touch 4g or my computer?

Delete the songs with no artwork on your iPad and resync your music from iTunes on your computer.

Album cover present when the ipod not locked, but not when locked

I bought a new 4rth generation ipod touch, and I bought new music and synced it. The new 2 albums, when I play the songs, I can see the album cover when my ipod is not locked, but when locked, I only see my wallpaper and there is no album cover...
why is this?

Just wanted to say I'm having the same problem. It's not detrimental by any standards but it does bother my OCD a tad. Hopefully it's a small glitch that can be resolved.

My iPod used to show the album cover, artist,

My iPod used to show the album cover, artist, and song title. It now only shows the album cover. Does anyone know how to reset it so it shows all the information?
