Album Cover Problems ipod 5th

Man I am Havig issues besides other glitches i have tried everything to put album covers with my albums drag/drop,cut paste, consatnt toggle from options "display artwork" I Need help the web sites i obtained artwork work on some covers and not others from same site. I itunes displays all but not on ipod some will go on but some wont it seems to load like they are being loaded to pod but will not display even when pressing center button twice HELP PLEASE

When I had my iPod photo, I found that adding the artwork to songs in iTunes, BEFORE adding them to your iPod would make the artwork appear on the iPod screen, but adding the artwork to existing song files already on the iPod was not working.
It's a pain to re-add all your songs, but if you are as anal about your music and iPod management as I am, you'll find it is worth it.
Hope that helps.

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.

Ipod album cover problem "An unknown error occurred (-50)

I recently spent a few hours going through amazon and google image search finding album covers to each of my mp3s no purchased through the Itunes store. After I finally got all of them, I went into Itunes options and clicked "display album art" I recieved the error
"The Ipod William Tell cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
I have unchecked display album art, let it delete whatever was on there, and rechecked it and have recieved the same error.
I've searched around this and other forums and noone has seemed to have this problem with album covers. Any help would be more than greatfully appreciated.

Hi,
I had the same problem and after a search in google i found this:
Solution1
If you are getting the same error I was getting, then the solutions is a quite tedious one. You need to go through your entire library starting at the top.
First make sure the ablum art box in the bottom left of iTunes is set to "selected song" and not "now playing". Now highlight the first song at the top and use the down arrow and look at the album art for each song. I have 4000 songs in my library and I found maybe 3 or 4 album art glitches.
The glitches are those songs that show a blank white box for the album art. Don't mistake this for those songs that just have no art attached. These say "Drag album art here." When you find those few white boxes, simply right click the song and go to "get info" and then the artwork tab. Click the white blank and delete it. That's it.
After you do this you should be able to add artwork to your iPod without the error message. I hope this helps you out. -CK

I have managed to fix this error. I have Windows 2000, but I think it should be OK for any Windows version.
1. Make sure iTunes is closed.
2. Move My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes* (2 files, *.itl, and *.xml) to Desktop
3. Start up iTunes, it will create the two files above.
4. In iTunes: File :: Import...
5. Select .xml instead of text.
6. Select the iTunes Music Library.xml
ITunes stopped complaining.

I had this error as well. Here's how I fixed it.
Apple itunes uses internet explorer (windows version) and therefore uses IE's proxy settings.
If you're behind a proxy you can change your settings to directly connect and then that may fix the problem. (I was using proximitron to filter ads, which went to my local fastnet web accellerator (dial up decompressor) which linked to a remote dialup comrpessor which actually got the internet sites).
Turning that off in IE's settigns (Tools, Options, Connections, Settings, uncheck use proxy) worked for me.
Solution2 worked fine for me

Imported library album cover problems

Ok, on my iMac I spent a lot of time making sure the album covers were the originals (a few are older than most of the folks working for apple). Some I scanned in myself, etc. Anyway, a lot of work went into my album covers.
So now I try to move my library (including covers) to my Dell lap top. I changed the xml file to point to the new library location. The album art work folder has two folders in it, cache and download.
Some album covers show up but some don’t! What is with that? And how do I fix it?
Thanks

IPhone iOS 7 Music Playlist and Album Cover Problems

I have had problems with my iPhone 4 ever since the iOS 7 update, especially with music. I have tried making playlists for my music from my mac and syncing it with my phone and the playlists never sync correctly. I then tried it the other way and created the playlists on my phone and tried syncing it but it still doen't sync correctly. Another problem that may or may not be connected to this issue is that the pictures of the albums in my music, videos, and movies are all switched around between eachother and none of them are correct.

Very many thanks for a super fast and effective solution.
Music has gone but I am still left (in Music) with an unselected music video. How do I rid myself of that?
Your support is much appreciated.
Thank you

How do I Sync All 5,000 of my songs onto my iPod 5th Generation without no problems at all, Most of my songs have the Album Artworks, some are ACC converted but after the "Changes Are Applied", it will say - Songs were not synced. File wasn't convert

I Am having a problem with syncing 5,000+ songs onto my IPod 5th Generation. Everytime I sync, some songs will either go away or ALL of them will come off my iPod. I have iTunes 12 for Windows, and it has a slow syncing process and it will take days for songs to get on the iPod. It will even say that any of the songs "we're not synced to my iPod because the file wasn't converted..
I Need help please, I would appreciate it.

Hey Bryce,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some songs aren’t being synced to your iPod touch because they aren’t in a compatible format. Can you play those tracks in iTunes? Try selecting the tracks that won’t sync and creating a new version of them with iTunes as shown in the article below.

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 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.

Ipod Multiple album Image Problems

Hello,
I have an 80GB Ipod and when I select certain artists on it it'll show multiple album covers of the same album with only a few songs listed under each album cover. But when I click on any of the album covers I see, the songs are all there. Any and all help is appricated.
-Thank You

*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is not part of the actual song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

Ipod video album art problems

Hi i've just got a new 30Gb ipod video and synced it with a g4 powerbook. Everything worked fine until i tried to turn it on and listen to music. All songs without album art work fine but the ones with (which is about 2/3 of them) seem to be causing porblems. When i start a playlist the first track doesn't play, instead he ipod tries to load the album art. As soon as the album art appears, it skips onto the next track without playing anything at all, very frustrating! when eventually a song does start playing there is a 2 second silence after the song's started while it tries to load album art again. I thought maybe it was the art itself but songs bought from itunes with the official apple artwork appear to be worse if anything!?! anyone had any similar problems/solutions?
any help would be much apperciated

I'm having a problem with this as well. I bought a 2G iPod Touch for my gf and after putting in some of the albums from my library, certain albums are not showing the correct album. For instance, as I put in Nelly Furtado's album, it would end up showing Ne-Yo's album cover. I checked in iTunes to make sure the correct album was in there which it was. Is this some kind of bug?

Ipod Touch album art problems

After I updated to the latest firmware 2.1 my album art started to lag as I scrolled through the album art. Before it was nice and smooth but whenever I scroll through the albums some albums appear to be missing but appear after I select them. At first I thought it was because i had to much music but i still noticed after all my music was deleted and only a few albums were present. How do I fix this? I tried reinstalling the firmware and restoring my itouch but nothing has changed.

IPod (5th gen) has strange bars on screen/won't start - iTunes 7 problem??

Hello, I have been having strange problems with my iPod for the past two days.
•Wednesday night I downloaded some TV shows. For some reason I ran the software update and allowed my computer to download and install the new iTunes 7. After installing, I turned off the iPod and went to bed.
•Thursday morning I was disappointed to find that my iPod would not turn on (I pressed menu and play at the same time and nothing happened). Later that day a coworker suggested that I press menu and the center button at the same time and it came to life again!
•Thursday evening I watched my TV show with no problems and the iPod seemed fine. However, this morning I tried to turn on my iPod and now it's not working again!!
I press menu and the black screen with the Apple logo flickers on for 1 second, then goes blank and then comes up again for 5 seconds, then disappears and a horizontal row of very thin lines shows up, running along the bottom 1/4 of the screen...I tried pressing menu & center button, menu & play...that causes the black screen & Apple logo to flicker on and off several times over and over, until after about 8 seconds it cuts off the top half and then becomes blank or the horizontal rows of lines occupy the bottom 1/3 of the screen.
In doing some quick research it seems that a lot of people are having problems after the iTunes 7 update, could that be my problem? If so, how do I uninstall it??
Thanks!!

Hallo Lisa
I have identical the same problem, also as from wednesday night, the only diference is that i was still using the previous version of iTunes. Took my iPod (5th generation) to Apple, they swopped it out for a new one saying it was a Hard drive problem, I don't agree, New iPod has same problem. My old iPod's, a 1st and 4th generation as wel as a mini and shuffel has no problems at all. I then uploaded to iTunes 7 to no avail.
In adition my 5th gen ipod makes sounds that to me sounds like the hard drive atempting to start up every time aprox 5 to 8 sec with the apple logo apaering at the same time for hours on end.

Zen Vision: M problem with Album Cov

I've read a lot of intructions on these boards about dragging the album cover into the generic icon (after I select "View" and "Albums" in the Media Explorer. Thing is, when I try to drag a picture nothing happens. Next thing I try is to manually copy and paste the album cover into the same generic grey icon and it says that it won't allow it to be viewed in my device and asks me if I just want to drop it in the folder (which does no good). Anyone else solve this problem in the past? Do I have to use a certain type of image file type? I'm using jpgs.
Please help me.
?Also, I am using Windows Vista 32-bit Premium Home Edition. Thanks in advance. I really want my album covers to work, it will be so cool.

I found the easiest way is to do it in Creative Media Source 5, highlight all the tracks in the album you want to apply art to, right click, go to "edit properties", click on the last entry on the bottom, "change album art" and assign the JPG of your choice, then update tags and the album art will show on your player, it has worked 00% for me so far.

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)?
