Artist name/album artwork won't change on my ipod 4g

After I change the artist names and album artwork on itunes and then press "sync", they should be changed right away on my ipod, right? THEY DO NOT GET CHANGED. does this syncing problem (or a slow reaction prob) only occuring to me? I called the customer service today and they simply told me to restore it. I tried restoring my ipod more than three times because of this. Is there any solution to this? Should I go and get a replacement to apple store? I own a new ipod 4g white with ipos 5.0.1.

i called them again and they told me if I want to change the album artwork + names of the songs that are already in the ipod (under device>music), I have to DELETE those songs. After that, I have to go to library>music and then change the settings there and then ADD THEM BACK to my ipod. I thought it's simply stupid and inconvenient.

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.

Some album artwork won't display on iPad

Hi guys,
Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
Any ideas?

No track/artist names or artwork after transfering from CD-R

Hi, when I first got my Ipod I was using a PC that I no longer have access to. I purchased and downloaded a number of albums and songs to my Itunes account. I have since set up Itunes on my own PC and wished to retrieve the songs I had previously downloaded. I did burn these songs to 7 CD-R's and thought it would be simple enough to transfer like normal purchased CD's. Now when I see them in my Library the albums and tracks have no information ie. track or artist names or artwork. Is there anyway to transfer or retrieve this information, without having to input it yourself, the problem being I can't even tell what songs are which as they just show up as track 1, track 2 ect. and there are about 7 track 1's ect. Listening to them doesn't help either as some where DJ mixed albums.
Thanks for your time and help.

You have to manually enter in the info. Once done you need to burn them to a DATA CD so this doesn't happen again. More on backing up can be found here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/

Album artwork won't display on my Nano

I tired everything, enabling the "display album artwork" from itunes. changing the size of the images, renaming them, etc.. but nothing worked! Any advise?

I posted in a similar thread about a problem I noticed. If you sync your songs without having "display album artwork" selected and then later select it, the artwork does not get moved over. I had to remove the songs and reload them to get the artwork displayed. Hope this helps!

How do I imput the artist name, album name and genre?

I found the solution. Highlighted the songs, right clicked and went to "Get Info" then inputed the info.

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.

Album Artwork doesn't show in my iPod

Hi everyone!
I've seen a lot of people have problems with photos... but what about Album Artwork??!!
I've got a lot of album artwork associated to my songs in iPod photo but only a few of them are shown and I don't know why... I've tried everything except formatting (and this solution is quite annoyin you know). Can anyone help me?
And... one thing more: does anybody know how to erase album artwork images of the songs in iPod or iTunes? if I can't solve the problem... I just wil erase every album artwork and re-attach the album artwork again, but this solution it's soo annoying (yes, again)...
Please, help me... thanks!

First, create a new folder on your pc - I created one in my MY MUSIC folder and named it Album Covers. Nest, open your iTunes Library and reduce its size on the screen. Then open up Internet Explorer and go to Amazon.com. Reduce the size of that screen so that you can view both your iTunes Library and the Amazon website.
Once in Amazon, go to the music tab and then type in the name of the cd's in your iTunes library. When the cd cover comes up in Amazon, doubleclick it to view it in its own window, then right click the image and save it as the name of the cd in the album covers folder that you created. Once you have saved all of the album covers, close the internet explorer window and open the Album cover folder. Again, minimize its size so that you can see both your iTunes Library and the Album Covers folder.
Next, highlight all the songs in your iTunes library that correspond to a particular cd and then click and drag the album cover from the Album Covers folder to the album art box on the lower left corner of your iTunes Source window. The album art should appear in that box and it will appear on your iPod as well. Make sure to highlight all of the songs from each respective cd so that you don't have to click and drag the album cover for every song -- this will speed up the process tremendously.
Good luck!

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.

The album artowrk won't display on my iPod.

To put it basically, the album artwork does not display on my iPod any more. It is shown in iTunes, and when I right-click on a song and look at its "info" It shows the artwork.
I have tried deleting all of the songs and re-adding them from their original files, but nothing happens. What can I do?
All songs have been purchased from iTunes.

Well you should be able to do this with the newest iTunes, I have no trouble doing this.
I just copy/paste an image into the artwork box. This doesn't work for you?
Doing this didn't didn't work in iTunes 7, but does in iTunes 7.0.1.

Artist name/album name changes made in itunes not showing up on my iphone4S

I added some songs to my iphone and I changed some of the songs' artist names in itunes. However, the changes that I made in itunes are not showing up on the iphone. Changes to album names are also not showing up. But album art does show up on my iphone. I've tried converting id3 tags and I've tried resetting the phone but nothing has worked. Does anybody know what is wrong and how to fix it?? Thanks.

Haven't had the problem.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Get Album Artwork won't work

Does anyone have any tips on how to get this feature to ever work right?
I recently just bought Hot Sauce Committee Part Two by Beastie Boys on CD. I import the CD into iTunes. Then i shift click on all the songs and right click and go to 'Get Album Artwork' and it tells me 'Could Not Get Album Artwork For Some Albums'
I have no idea what to do. When i imported the CD it imported it with the same exact spelling and spacing for the artist name and album title on itunes. But it acts like iTunes has never heard of this album. I can't update my Genius thing to be able to generate a genius playlist using any song from this CD either.
It's almost like iTunes won't accept or acknowledge any music that was not bought through the iTunes store.
please, does anyone have any clue on how to get itunes to act like this cd exists so i can make itunes get album artwork for it and allow it to be used for genius playlists?

iTunes will only place artwork for albums that are offered in the iTunes Store. Be it the song lengths or order or who knows what, it doesn't see it as matching.
This will have no effect on Genius Playlists. I have songs without album info or cover in my Genius results.
You can manually add the cover yourself from a pic/jpg/png instructions are here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1409

Upgrade to 7.0.2 deletes artist name, Album sorting, importing files

Well, I use iTunes at work on a PC and it *****. I lost 90% of the artist name appearing in the Artist column. They show in Info for each song. How can I get them to show upm again. Also, on the PC version everytime I click Album it changes to Album by Artist, Album by Year, then to back to Album all of them in alphabetic descending order. I no longer can reverse the order. Finally, I have tried to import a few folders of music using the file method and itunes just links to the folder. None of this absurd behaviors happen on my macs nor do I ever want them to ever do it. Apple either send post a work around or upgrade and fix these annoying problems. These discussion threads are too bureacratic and time consuming to read.

Can't argue with you there, Stephen. I'm going to get the heck out of here ... ; - )
But before I do, I can address one of your issues.
Also, on the PC version everytime I click Album it changes to Album by Artist, Album by Year, then to back to Album all of them in alphabetic descending order. I no longer can reverse the order.
If you click on the words Album, Album by Artist, Album by Year, the column cycles through those headings but if you click on the actual arrow at the top, the heading remains the same and the arrow changes direction.

"Get Info" Issues when updating music without prefilled artist name, album name,etc

Album artwork won't come up

I keep spelling everything right but whenever I click on the get album artwork it doesn't come up.
For so it does come up but for soundtracks it doesn't

First make sure your signed into the itunes store.
Sometimes looking for the album on the itunes store, then typing in the info on the songs tags will correct this.
For example the artist Pink (Notice the i). On the US iTUnes store atleast its spelled P!nk (With a ! mark instead of an i).
I had a missy elliot album I had to put 3 dots at the end of the album name because thats the way it is on the store, just so the artwork would be found and loaded.
