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

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.

    Are you saying that the "Music" app is not present on your iPod Touch? Perhaps there is an issue with the restrictions on the iPod? If you're absolutely sure that the Music app is not present I would consider creating a backup of your iPod after syncing it with iTunes. I would then consider restoring it if this is the case.

  • Why my songs wont appear in my ipod classic after dragging them in from my macbook?

    I have a very old ipod classic. After i connect it to my macbook (bought in april 2013), it detects. iTunes detects too. I dragged some songs and dropped into my ipod but after that it did not appear in the ipod. Kindly advise.

    Hi donniecgr,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the content on your iPod. I would suggest reading over the attached article to confirm all of your sync settings and steps are correct.
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click "On this Device."
    Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
    While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
    You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Album cover not showing....why???

    Purchased songs from the itunes store and normally my purchased songs have the album cover displayed when I am playing the song....lately, I jsut noticed that the album cover is not being shown....only showing an empty box outline but not the album cover....Pls. advice if anyone can hel or has had the same problems.
    Thanks,
    Gerard

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Connect the iPod to the computer. Go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Make sure "Show artwork on iPod" is checked. If it is, uncheck it. Click ok. Now go back and recheck the option. Click ok. Wait for the iPod to update. Is the artwork now there?
    If not, then do the same steps again. However, this time, let the iPod update and then eject it once you uncheck the option. Then disconnect it from the computer. Now reconnect it and enable the option.

  • After syncing itunes to my phone none of my album cover photos appear on my phone.?

    After I sync Itunes from my computer to my phone no album covers appear on my phone. The only thing that appears is a music note.
    Any ideas?

    This is how it should work.
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the one computer to which it is synced.  If you sync to another computer, it will erase the current content and replace with the content from the new one.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy of your old computer to put everything on the new one.

  • Some of my songs in iTunes wont Sync with my iPod, Why?

    And what can I do to get them all on there?

    What format are they and what iPod are you using? Some formats that play in iTunes are not compatible with the 1st generation iPod shuffle, Aiff and Apple Lossless for instance. Apple Lossless is not supportted on the 2nd generation shuffle:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
