Artwork ok in iTunes but 50% of it not syncing
99% of the songs in my iTunes library have artwork, largely from google. Until recently, all of my songs synced to my 4th gen Nano complete with their artwork. However, now only about half of the songs have their artwork when viewed on the iPod. The artwork is still there in iTunes, it hasn't gone anywhere. I've clicked "Get Info" on individual songs to make sure they've got artwork and not just some songs on each album. I've also tried replacing artwork on some albums and making sure songs don't have several images. I think the problem may have arisen since I chose to let iTunes convert my songs to AAC before syncing to save space (it can't be a space issue because now I've got over a Gb free).
None of this has worked, can anyone help my artwork sync again?
The iPod stores album art differently than on the computer, in an optimized database, to save space.
If something has gone out of sync, you may be able to fix the problem if you connect the iPod to computer, select the iPod under DEVICES, go to the Music tab, and uncheck the box for +Display album artwork on your iPod+. Then click the Apply button.
This will remove the album art on the iPod. Now check that box again, and click the Apply button. This will put the artwork back on the iPod. Hopefully, the image will now be in sync with the songs being played.

Album artwork imports into iTunes, but artist tags do not
Hello,
After importing my music from an external hard drive backup, I have a problem with ~5% of my music. The songs are listed in iTunes as "Unknown Artist" and "Unknown Album". However, if I find the file within my iTunes folder, all of the artist information tags are listed if I use "Get Info" --> "More Info" in the Finder. Back in iTunes, the album artwork is there, but the tags are missing. These are for .m4a, Apple MPEG-4 audio files. How can I get iTunes to recognize the tags that are obviousy still present in the file?
There are too many songs like this to relabel the, realistically.
I have tried deleting the songs from my library and re-importing them into iTunes, but this does not fix the problem. I cannot find any logic as to which songs this affects.
Any ideas?
Thank you.This same thing happened to me, so I plugged my iphone into the computer and I unchecked all the songs so it deleted from my phone and then i rechecked sync music back to the phone and all the album artwork were there.

Hi
I recently added a new playlist to my ITunes library. Once created in wirelessly synced with my IPhone. I have since edited the playlist and added some new tracks. These did not sync with my IPhone wirelessly or over the wired connection to my Mac. Please can someone let me know how to update the playlist?

I'm having problem in syncing apps in itunes.
Would these be the iLife apps that are preinstalled on new Macs?
There is supposed to be a process of accepting these apps into your Apple ID account.
1. Be sure that you have enetered your iTunes/Mac App Store (MAS) Apple ID in System Prefs/Users & Groups/Password.
2. Open the MAS and sign into your account.
3. Check the Purchased pane, the apps should be listed with Accept buttons.
4. Accept the apps.
After accepting the apps you should be able to update them. If they are not listed on the Purchased pane of the MAS then I would return with the Mac to place of purchase and enlist their aid in getting the apps into your MAS account. -
My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Ignore. I figured it out:)

and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it.

Is it possible for deleting all the apps from the appstore which are showing up in the apps not on my phone section. Before I was able to delete them from itunes but now I am not able to find that option.
You can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
The 'x' might not show on their top left corner (it might be invisible), but clicking where it should be should hide the app. -
i restored my ipod after backing it up but now all my music and apps that are in itunes on the computer will not sync across
Did you restore the iPod on this computer?
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My music will not play on my iPhone 5. It has the upgrade as well as my iTunes on my macbook. But the music will not sync to my iPhone and all music is in my library. What do I need to do?
An exclamation mark means that it doesn't know where you moved the music to. To fix this, click on the exclamation point and when it asks you to browse to the location where you moved it to, use the normal commands to go up and down folders in your external drive until you find the song. Repeat as necessary.

I try and buy in app purchases but it won't let me and gives me the above error message: "iTunes password and account is not synced with the email address"! How can I fix this?
Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.
