Album work display on ipod

I just got the new 30gb ipod with video and i want the album cover work to show up on the ipod with the song. i went to itunes went to preferences and selected that the ipod be updated automatically with the album cover work. then i update it but none of the album covers show up with the songs. what else can i do so that it can show up ?

Go into iTunes and make it so that you can see the little album artwork box in the left hand corner (go to edit and then select show album artwork). From there you can scroll through your songs and see whether or not they have the album artwork. If they don't, you can get the pictures online and copy and paste them into the box (you can select full albums beforehand so you only need to paste once). That's probably the problem is that you didn't have much album artwork before hand, and having the iPod show it won't help if it isn't there in the first place.
Oh, and the iPod itself has an album artwork option I believe. So make sure that's on. Hope this helps!

  • "Artists by Album" column display for iPod (in iTunes 7) doesn't work

    I'm a big fan of the "Artists by Album" column option in iTunes 7, as it helps me to keep my single-artist albums and compilation albums well-sorted and separated from each other. Love it lots; it's my favorite way to view my rather large music collection.
    However...I just bought an 80gb iPod, and when I sync it to my iTunes and try to view its catalog of songs using the "Artists By Album" column, I get this weirdly disordered list of songs. I can't exactly figure out what the sorting method is, but it seems to have something to do with track and disc numbers.
    I get pretty much the same result in when I view my iPod's music library through using the "Albums by Year" column option. Are these two column sorts not supported by the 5G iPods? do I just have to settle for straight "Artist" or "Album" sorts for the time being?
    I tried to dig up some explanation for this but haven't found anything that helps either in Apple support or these forums. Any ideas/info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, there is no "Artists by Album" feature for the iPod. You can suggest it here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html. Hope you can live with only Album and Artist! At least for the time being...

  • Songs belong to same album, but displayed on ipod as separate albums

    I'm not sure if anyone else face same prob as I do with ipod.........some songs that belong to same album are arranged separately on itunes and subsequently in my ipod.
    for example, itunes arranges track 1 below tracks 2-7 that belong to the same album(same artist) All the id3 tag info are the same for all these songs. can anyone help?

    All the id3 tag info are the same for all these songs.
    I guess they're not, although they may appear so. Often there are subtle differences, like a superfluous space at the end.
    Please select all the songs belonging to an album and reenter the artist and album name for all of them at once. Then they should sort correctly.

  • Album art won't display on ipod screen

    i just rec'd the new 60gb ipod for xmas and i can't figure out how to make the album art display on the screen. can anyone help me?

    the album art has to first be imported into iTunes for it to show up on iPod. To do this, open a site like google and do image searches on the albums (don't go above 300x300 pixels or it'll take up too much space). Then, open the song edit and drag the album art into the space for it. repeat for all discs and then update iPod, should work fine.

  • Where's the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference?

    Everything seems to work fine with iTunes 9.0.1 and my iPod Classic 80G, except that it doesn't seem possible to remove album artwork from the iPod. I just read the article "[Viewing album artwork on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2317?viewlocale=en_US]" and I know that I just have to deselect the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference in iTunes. The problem is that, after selecting my iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane, I can't find any such preference in the Music tab. I can see two radio buttons ("Entire music library" and "Selected playlists, artits, and genres") and one checkbox ("Include music videos"), but no "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
    Any idea?

    Since when has the left hand known what the right hand is doing in any organiszation.
    Can you give a reference supporting your statement ?
    From Apple? No. Plenty of threads in here though, both builds of iTunes 9 released for Mac & PC have been missing this feature and people have given feedback. This is either a policy change and it will remain that way or it was accidentally omitted during the redesign in which case it may reappear in a future build. Either way the control isn't magically missing from just your copy, it's the same for all of us.

  • Where is the 'display album art on my iPod' option?

    I only use my iPod in the car, so I don't exactly need album artwork on it. iTunes used to have an option to display (or not display) album art on the iPod. What happened to that option? My iPod is a classic, so it has a hard drive, and I'm getting tired of the constant disk access whenever it wants to display album artwork. I would prefer to get rid of it altogether.
    I don't want to delete the artwork itself, because I also listen to music with my AppleTV at home. I just don't need the artwork *on my iPod*. How can I rig it so the iPod won't display the artwork anymore?

    never mind, I found out that the option no longer exists:

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • 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.

  • Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

    I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
    It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
    I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
    One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
    I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • Album covers displayed on Video iPod?

    How do I get album covers displayed on my Video iPod?

    Copy the album artwork from somewhere like Google images or Amazon or where I like to get from http://www.thejosher.net/iTunes/ and go to the song you want with that artwork and right-click to get info and go to artwork and paste it; You can do the same with multiple songs except you would have to press and hold the CTRL button and click on the songs at the same time.

  • How do I update Album artwork onto my ipod.....

    How do I update Album artwork onto my ipod after i have found the artwork and added it to my itunes?
    i tried to just plug in my ipod and sync. it but that didnt work.

    *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 artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one 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 in 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 you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. 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. 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 (Option-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 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 you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
    *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, 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.
