Artwork in iTunes and on iPod

Can anybody help me?
I am new to iPods but know a reasonable amount about computers. My question is, is there any criteria that artwork must satisfy so it can be used in iTunes and on the iPod?
I have gathered images for all of the CDs I have ripped, but only some of them are displayed in iTunes and on my iPod even though I have attached them to the .mp3 files.
I have tried to attach them again in iTunes, but although they appear when I paste or drag them into position, all traces of them disappear as soon as I move away from the selected file and return to it.
I have looked through previous postings and cannot find an answer to my question. Any help would be much appreciated.

Did this work? I am having the same problem with my Mac and new iPod Video. It's making me crazy...

  • I cannot access or reinstall Itunes, and my ipod isn't being detected

    So, sometime after the fall of 2010, which I suspect was after iTunes 10 was launched, I noticed I couldn't access iTunes.
    It read error 2330.
    I did some sleuthing for months, and now I get these error messages under the heading "iTunes + Quicktime" when I attempted a re-installation of iTunes:
    "There's a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
    "An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes"
    In the past while attempting to re-install iTunes, I got error message 2330...STILL don't fully know what this means.
    I currently have Bonjour, the iTunes folder, The iPhone Configuration Utility folder, and Quicktime on my desktop...The actual programs are also in my C:\ drive in Program Files...I can also see Apple software in the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel on my PC.
    I seem to be able to access iTunes/iTunes store via the executable file in the iTunes folder by clicking "iTunes.exe", but no other way...I also noticed that the software will run normally, but not detect my iPod or allow my computer access...So in other words, iTunes doesn't recognize my computer as being authorized for my account, and yet it displays my email address in the upper-right hand corner of iTunes.
    It's like I can only access a "half version" of the full iTunes I once had by going through that folder...No clue what's happening or what files may be missing or corrupted.
    Quite simply put, I need help...I want to be able to use iTunes and my iPod Touch (1st gen) like I was able to this past fall before the mysterious accident or corrupt files ruined everything.

    For that 2330 error, run chkdsk on your C drive.

  • I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

    I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • How do I delete radio shows from iTunes and my iPod at the same time?

    I have a lot of old time radio shows on my iPod. First, I copy them from iTunes to listen to on my iPod. When I am done, I want to delete BOTH of them at the same time. I am trying to avoid having to search for both because, for some reason, I cannot search both the iTunes and the iPod content at the same time. I obviously do not want them synced. In the previous version of iTunes, I was able to do with a key command. Now, I cannot figure out how to do it. ( I really wish there was a way I could color each selection so that I can find which ones I copied to the iPod easily. You know, just like how it's done in the operating system, where we can add the color label.)
    Anyway, is there a way to do what I want, or am I stuck with searching separately, and then deleting them separately? Laborious indeed. Oh, yes, the duplicate function doesn't work here because you can't search both the iPod and iTunes at the same time.
    Thanks in advance to all you smartie-pants out there.

    when you purchas e a tv show from the itunes music store and then sync it to the ipod. there will appear a new name in th evideo subsection of videos on the ipod called tv shows thats where they will be and where you can watch the,.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

  • My iPod touch won't connect to wifi. Password is correct. Already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings. Already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.

    A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
    I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
    I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
    The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
    I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
    I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
    My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
    I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
    It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
    My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
    My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
    Safari still wasn't working, though.
    I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
    Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
    The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?

    are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
    Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?

  • ITunes and my iPod are not syncing

    I'm having a few problems with iTunes and my iPod right now. I have the Classic 160GB if that makes any difference.
    The laptop my original iTunes library was on died. I tried transferring all the songs off my iPod to the new computer. When I transferred only the purchased songs are showing in the library. The songs I uploaded from CDs are only showing on my iPod.
       2.  I purchased several songs about 2 weeks ago and they will not sync to my iPod; they are only showing in the library. Which leads me into my 3rd problem.
       3.  For some reason, the sync songs manually option is checked, and when I uncheck it I get a message that says if I continue the contents on my iPod will           be replaced with the current contents of the library. (I don't not want this to happen.) Also, when I go to the summary of my iPod and click the music tab             and try to sync that way, I get the same message about replacing contents with current library.
    Thanks to anyone that can provide any help!

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and my iPod won't sync?

    Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    iOS devices are not backup devices.
    Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

    Some songs in my Ipod classic get get off after a few seconds of playing, but they work fine in ITunes and other Ipods.  I have reset the classic several times and same issue happens, any ideas?

    I have that exact same problem! It plays albums fine. But individual songs including ones downloaded from iTunes either skip or play the music of another totally different song. All play fine on iTunes and my iPhone... Got this one to replace my dying 5th gen classic.
    I hope there is a fix for this, cause it *****!!!!

  • HT1339 My ipod is stuck at step 9 in this guide. Itunes told me to keep my ipod connected to itunes, and my Ipod shows the Apple logo as it should (though I can´t see any progress bar). Do anybody know how  long step 9 takes. I have turned off my firewall

    Please Help!

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

  • I updated too the latest version of Itunes and my ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable going into itunes on the screen

    I updated to the latest version of Itunes and my Ipod touch froze up with a picture of a usb cable and the i tunes logo

    Well the answer I gave you didn't solve the problem. Is the USB cable and the iTunes logo still on the iPod screen? You could start the "fixing process" by rebooting your computer, connect the iPod again, launch iTunes and see if anything happens.
    This article may prove to be helpful. there are many steps that you can try to get the iPod running again.
