Artwork in Itunes music library but not on my Ipod

Only got my Ipod at the weekend so don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I've enabled the option for album artwork and click on get artwork for each album I have transferred into my library. The artwork appears in my library but on my Ipod many of the albums that have the artwork in the library aren't appearing on my Ipod.
Anyone know why this is?

It is possible that you have not selected the option to have your iPod show album artwork. Here is how to check:
Plug your iPod into your computer
Click on you iPod when it appears under DEVICES on the left of the iTunes screen
Your iPod should appear on the screen under a tab named Summary. Click on the tab titled Music
There is a check box on the very bottom of the list on the Music tab called "Display album artwork on your iPod" If this is not checked, then check it.
Then click Apply in the lower right corner of the screen, then click Sync, also in the lower right of the screen
This should fix the problem and upload the album artwork onto your iPod

I recently download a song with my IPOD Touch 4G. The song appears in my iTunes music library but not on my IPOD. I've tried syncing several times, but I cannot get it to transfer to the IPOD. Any suggestions??

Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??, Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??

I received my new Macbook Pro today and have attempted to sync my iphone 4s with it, unfortunately like a bit of a moron I've ended up wiping all my music on my iphone.
I have then gone into Itunes and re-downloaded all my previous purchases (music tracks). They have all appeared in my music library but all but 4 are greyed out, will not play and will not allow me to do anything with them!
Can anyone help me, help the Mac newby sort his life out! I'd be lost without them and more to the point would have lost a fortune in music I'd paid for if I couldn't get them back!!
Cheers,
Chris

roaminggnome, it is normal and expected for the iPod to show in My Computer on a PC. That is part of the computer recognizing it as a camera for getting photos off the iPod.

ITunes music library will not update on iPod after syncing

I did a computer swipe a number of months ago and was only just recently able to recover my iTunes account. So fortunately I have all my music still (well most of it. Some of my file locations are missing but that is user error).
Now, yesterday I synced my iPod for the first time since the clean sweep. I was annoyed that the process completely cleaned out my iPod (of course it was not backed up because I had no way of syncing it to my account) so I lost everything except the music.
Here's the problem: while I can play iTunes on my laptop, none of the songs are being properly downloaded onto the iPod. All the titles and information show up like they should, but they are greyed out so you cannot select them.
I've tried re-syncing several times and even rebooted my laptop and re-syncing to no avail.
My iPod is literally empty like when I first got it brand new but I can't play my music.
Any ideas? I'm at my last straw.

Is the iPod signed in the iTunes account? (Settings>Store)
Next I would try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and then sync.

Please advise.

Do you have read& write permissions to your iTunes library?
See this thread: Re: "Error has occurred... You do not have the privilege to make changes."

HT204406 I deleted music on iTunes music library but didn't delete on icloud. Is there a way to delete on my iPhone 5?

I deleted music on iTunes music library but didn't delete in iCloud. Is there a way to fix so deleted music isn't on my iPhone 5?

You can't change it. It's red to warn you not to tap it.
You don't need to worry. If you accidentially did tap it, you would see a message like the first image below (this is an example from an iPhone). As you can see, you have the option to tap Cancel. And even if you didn't, the next thing you would get is a message like the second image below, which gives you a second chance to tap Cancel. And if you choose Delete from My iPad on the second prompt, it would still only delete the account and your synced data from your iPad, not from iCloud. It would be synced back to your iPad if you signed back in.
If you're worried about your contacts, download the app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send the email to yourself and keep it on your computer. You can later open the email on your iPad and tap the attachment to import your contacts back to your iPad should you ever need to.

I have an iPhone 4. I recently updated. It loaded all my iTunes music purchases but not the music I had on my computer. This music was on my iPhone before I updated. I have tried re-sycing but not getting anywhere. Says it cannot locate my music files but I see it on my lap top but cannot play it or get it on my iPhone. Can anyone walk me through this?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

If the item is in your iTunes library then it is already saved.
With the iPod plugged in then select the items that you want to sync to the iPod. You can sync your entire library to the iPod - space permitting - or just selected content.

I can access my music library, but not the Itunes store. Just getting a white screen. It starts to connect but just stops. Any suggestions?

I can access my music library, but Itunes Store is not opening. I am just getting a white screen. Any suggestions?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
No data is lost due to a reset.

Lost my music in iTunes. . .but not on the iPod or from the HDD

Recently, I installed a separate physical HDD into my PC which will be dedicated to my iTunes/iPod content. When I did this I navigated within iTunes to Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location" and changed the path to the new volume that I had for the dedicated HDD (F:/iTunes/iTunes Music). After a week or so of this seemingly working properly, I then felt safe to delete the iTunes Music folder that I had on my C:/ drive within My Documents/My Music/iTunes.
Today, when I launched iTunes, all the music that I had ripped from my Cd collection plus the few downloads that I purchased were gone from my music library within the application and I got the following message. . .
The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and synching replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library.
The good news is that all of my data is still on the iPod and the physical HDD. When I got this message and selected <Transfer Purchases> I got back into the application's Music Library the 5 or so songs that I have bought from iTunes. I still do not have the 700 or so songs that I ripped from my CD's in the application Music Library however and I am still getting this message along with an option to "Erase and Sync", which sounds like something thatI do not want to do. The iPod is now intact and disconnected from my PC.
The iTunes folder on my C: drive still has an <iTunes Music Library.xml> file along with an <iTunes Library.itl> file. Could this be causing the confusion?
Also within Edit/Preferences/<Advanced> tab/"iTunes Music Folder location", the options for <Keep iTunes Music Folder organized> and <Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding To Library> are both unchecked. Things were working fine I guess with it that way but it sounds to me that I should have those checked?
I need some advice it seems. Does anyone know what the heck is happening here?

Why do podcasts I add appear in music library but not in podcasts ?

I personally find iTunes to be deeply counter-intuitive and confusing, so this maybe a simple user error. I'm adding podcasts from a hard disk. They were downloaded some time ago, under linux, from BBC Radio using the 'getiplayer' app. They exist as mp3 files on my harddisk, within a 'My Music' folder (my mistake).
When I add music files to iTunes from 'My Music' the podcasts are addded to the music library. When I delete them from that library, sending the files to trash, then add them from the original source to the Podcasts library, they appear back in the Music library but are not listed under Podcasts
What am I doing wrong?

There have always, well for the past few years, written installers that just create a mess. All installed applications should appear in Finder, Applications. Not all of those will appear in Launchpad. When you encounter one that does not appear in the correct way, all you can do is manually move things around so it is consistent with the way apps should work.

Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

ITunes Music Library.xml not updating when adding new songs

I have about 150.000 music tracks on my iMac and iTunes didnt have any difficulty with it. When using the songs in DJ program Native Instruments Traktor Pro, this program checked the latest update of the iTunes Music Library.xml file and everything went ok. Whenever I changed a smart playlist or added songs, my Traktor looked at the updated .xml file and Traktor updated it's own files.
SUDDENLY, and I dont know why, this iTunes Music Library.xml file did not update anymore. Whenever I change a song or add a song, the 'update date' in my finder next to the iTunes Music Library.xml file stays the same (1 May 2010) This means my DJ software does not show the updated/added songs...
Plse help... what should I do... I am a professional DJ and I especially bought this iMac for the purpose of DJ'ing. Because of this issue, I can't use it anymore...

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.
