Artwork gone on Ipod?

For some reason, all of a sudden my ipod will not display nay artwork. It shows up on Itunes but not on the Ipod itself. I tried resetting but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

When you have your ipod connect to the computer. Check in itunes in the devices tab under the music tab to see if "copy album artwork . . ." is checked.

IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

*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. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
*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.

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?

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

The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

Hello Derick,
This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache. The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes. Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache. Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

Problem viewing album artwork on video ipod

My problem is that I'm unable to view album artwork on my ipod in full screen, whether it's from the itunes store or if I copy/paste an album cover pic myself. You can see the artwork fine on the left next to the song/artist/album, it's just blank when you want to see it full screen. The thing is that my ipod is Windows formatted and this has only been happening since I got a Mac and have been doing all my itunes/ipod stuff on it. I wanna know if this is normal for a Windows formatted ipod on a Mac or if there is a way to fix this (without formatting it to Macintosh) because all my other songs with artwork that I synced with Windows show up fine in full screen view. Please let me know. Thanks.

After you added the album work to your songs, did you import or re-import those songs to the IPOD?

Some Artwork On My Ipod Shows All In Black

Hi, I'm new in the forum, I hope someone can help me.
I've been uploading all the artwork on my ipod, but some of the album covers show all in black and I don't know why and what to do, does anyone have the answer? Thanks!!!!!!!
Greetings

I'm not sure, but I've been doing both, uploading to the itunes library first, and the I skip that part and put it directly to the ipod. But I'll try to put all the artwork on the itunes library first, thanks.

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.

Problems With Showing Album Artwork On The ipod

I tried to look in the support pages, everywhere, and i asked here, but it didn't help.
my ipod wont show album artworks.
when i try:
Edit-Preferences-ipod-music
and mark the 'Display album artwork on your ipod',
and then OK, it shows me an error window:
'The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50).'
I don't know what to do, please help me.
I have an ipod nano 4GB
and a PC computer, Windows XP,
if that can help you...
Thanks alot.

I found the problem.
You have to display the album artwork in your itunes
library before you transform the song to the ipod.
Then, it will show.
thanks for helping .
Ella L, can you elaborate on what you mean (and the steps to take) because I've got the same error message as you had and now some tracks show album artwork, some don't, some show the wrong ones, etc.
Thanks.

I used to be able to add artwork to my iPod Classic until I updated iTunes. Now, even when I put a new song on it - no artwork.

I was able to add artwork to my iPod Classic - after updating I don't get any on iPod.

For some reason the music is not actually on the iPod. When you play it, you are really streaming it via wifi and that is why it is asking for a wifi PW.
Therefore, make sure that the music if fully downloaded on the iPod before you want to play it away from an internet connection.

I am missing artwork on my ipod, how do i get it back

i lost some artwork on my ipod 4g touch...it is in itunes but will not go over to my ipod...how can i get it back on the ipod?

Well, firstly. The artwork you have on iTunes, did it come with the album when you downloaded/bought it, or did you get the picture off Google or something like that? The reason I ask this, is because if you got it off Google Images, the file might be to big to have as artwork on your iPod Touch.

Best album artwork resolution for iPod touch?

Hi all
While I'm anxiously awating for my touch to arrive, I've been trying to fill in the missing album art of my music. I'd like to know what's the best resolution to get them displayed on the touch. I don't want to put huge artwork into my iPod so it doesn't take up too much space, but I don't want it to be so small that I can't properly enjoy it.
I really don't care about how the artwork looks like on iTunes, I just care about how it looks like on the touch.
What do you guys think?
Cheers
Daniel

Personally, I find that 500x500px looks great on my 1920x1200 display AND my iPods, including the touch. This way, the album art looks perfect on both.
I find most of my good-quality artwork at Amazon.com of all places. What they don't have (and it is not much), I find by searching in Google and then by clicking on "images" at the top. Narrow it down further by selecting "Medium" or "Large" in the "Images: Showing" drop-down box. FYI, make sure to get a photo that is a perfect square when possible; it is a personal pet-peeve of mine to be flipping through Cover Flow and seeing misshapen album covers...I replace them immediately.
