Artwork on iPod does not match artwork in iTunes

Hello all,
Lately I have noticed that the artwork for the songs on my iPod are way off from what the artwork is for the same song in iTunes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I have done a reset of the iPod to factory settings and then resynched the iPod but it still is showing the same problem after I added some songs to iTunes and did another synchronization.
Any ideas?
Ed

I had this problem for a while then I realised that it was because I was syncing music from 2 PC's. When I synced from my home PC all the artwork would be ok but then when I added another album from my work PC all the covers got scrambled. I believe its because I needed certain folders from my home PC on the other one. Dont know if this will help but thats what happened to me.

Number of Songs on iPod does not match iTunes

I am showing 2110 songs in iTunes, but only 2093 on my iPod. What would cause this? All songs are checked to sync & the sync settings are set to all songs and playlists. Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem and asked a similar question earlier today. totally toastin replied:

Help - iPod does not show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer

Would someone PLEASE tell me how to get my iPod to show up in iTunes or as disk in Windows Explorer?
According to our PC XP computers, we do not have an ipod and it won't charge when plugged into USB. It worked fine for 10 months until this morning (10/26/06). We have ruled out bad USB drive by using flash drive on that USB and it worked fine. Reseting ipod does not work (ipod does not respond to reset command hold toggle then hold menu + play for up to 10 sec). Reseting ipod within ipod menu does nothing. ANY suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my brand new 2 GB. I have reloaded software, gone through the "5 R's", tried the ipod on my PC and on my laptop -- neither computer recognizes or charges the ipod. Any info greatly appreciated.

My iPod does not sync with my iTunes.

All of a sudden when I try to sync my iPod classic with my MacBook Air the iPod doesn't sync. I get the do not disconnect message, but the iPod doesn't mount as a device in iTunes. The iPod icon does show up on the desktop. I have tried all the suggested solutions on the Apple support page (reset, reload iTunes, etc.). Didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have an even older iPod that started doing the same thing occasionally. It may be that you have some bad sectors on your iPod hard drive. If you can get the iPod to mount in iTunes, you should do a complete restore. If it will not mount in iTunes you should try this:
Unmount the iPod from desktop.
Close iTunes.
Reconnect iPod. If iTunes does not open, great, go to next step. If iTunes opens, but iPod does not mount in iTunes, close iTunes.
Open disk utility. Click on iPod volume, then choose erase tab.
Choose Mac Os extended.
Ignore the warning that iPod won't work. You are basically reinitializing and reformating the hard drive.
After drive is erased/reformated, unmount the iPod.
Open iTunes
Reconnect the iPod. It should now ask you if you want to install iTunes, etc, etc. and you should be able to restore all your tunes.

5th gen Ipod does not load video on Itunes

My 5th gen color Ipod recently began having problems when I updated Itunes software.
The video that is on my Itunes library does not transfer when synced to Ipod.
Video on Macbook plays but is not recognized by Ipod and does not load.
Any help is appreciated.

Check your settings for sync. The default for videos are that only unwatched videos get synced.

Ipod does not sync correctly with ITunes

Hello, and thanks in adavce for responding.
A couple days ago I connected my Ipod to a different PC with an older version of Itunes. I did not asociate the library nor synchronized the Ipod with it. When I connected my Ipod in my main PC where I keep my library, it seems as if it does not sync all my files correctly. For example, I have some TV shows in my library but they don't seem to transfer into my Ipod, when they used to before. I have the same problem with the photos. I have re-set my Ipod to factory settings a copule of times with different results. The first time, the photo's would not appear, and the second time, the TV shows did not. Furthermore, my ITunes library does not show photos anymore, but they do appear in the Ipod. It seems as if the Ipod is confused with ITunes, but I honestly don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

My ipod does not show up on itunes. Like it is not plugged in. It has a good connection. I have tried all the trouble shooting steps. Uninstalling all apple itunes, bonjour, quick time, etc. and still shows no device!

The ipod icon does not appear on itunes. I followed all the troubleshooting help. Uninstalling all programs related to ituens and itunes. veryifying uninstall restarting computer, installing again. I bought this ipod at a thrift store. BUT IT WAS BRAND NEW in the package, never opened. checking serial number on apple they want a fee of 19.00 to give me help! I paid 40 for the ipod so not worth it. but if anyone has an idea for how I can get this to work. Pleaseeeee

Did you try everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this and see if the results help
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem
You do have the latest iTunes, version 11 on the computer, right?

My classical iPod does not shows in my itunes

iIt does not show in itunes so I cant reset it

You dont need iTunes to Reset your iPod, just do the following.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

However, if you mean Restoring your iPod, it is another matter, which you need iTunes and some troubleshooting to find out why you cant connect to iTunes.

Ipod does not sync back to itunes

Hi there,
just got the new 80GB iPod and have a problem when I sync my iPod back with iTunes. iTunes seems to load new media on it (pictures, music etc.) but sometimes 'drops' everything I did on my iPod since the last sync. I was very disappointed as I just rated about 60 songs and when I plugged it back in, iTunes told me I had not played any songs in the past two days and none of the ratings were transfered to iTunes on my Mac. The iPod did NOT run our of battery and I did NOT change the ID3-Tags in iTunes of all the songs before syncing again.
On my past iPods I noticed that songs that have been changed in iTunes will not get the ratings of the iPod but I never experienced the complete "ignorance" of me listening to any music on my iPod.
Also, probably not related to this issue: Has anyone ever had the new iPod not skipping songs when you pressed the next or previous track buttons? I sometimes cannot skip but still navigate or scroll through the menus etc.
Thanks for any help - I never had those problems with my first and fourth generation iPod.

formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

Ipod does not respond to computer/Itunes, but reboots constantly.

I have been using the same Ipod since 2/14/2006 (Black 30GB-5th Generation). Never had any problems with it at all.
About 4 days ago, I updated to the latest version of Itunes (Ver 7.6.2.9.) and I have been having problems with my Ipod ever since. Everytime I connect my Ipod to the dock/computer to sync, it turns off by itself immediately and keeps rebooting over and over by itself when connected. My Ipod is not able to establish a connection with my computer or Itunes.
I have read other recent threads in regards to similar issues, namely "low battery" or a sad Ipod face, but I haven't had either appear on my Ipod yet. I have put Ipod in Disk mode and plugged it in with a full battery to no success, I have rebooted OVER 50 times in the past 48 hours. The battery is well charged and has not given me any issues, I changed the battery on the Ipod 2 months ago, but it never affected anything. I am able to charge the Ipod fully with my standard AC Charger. At first I thought it was that my computer was not giving enough power to my Ipod, but according to the other posts I read, that is not the case.
In addition, If by chance not enough power is the problem, how can I put more power in my Ipod when it is plugged into the USB port? Why did it change all of a sudden? Most dual AC Power Adaptor USB ports for Ipod have a firewire prong, but I do not have a firewire outlet in my computer to plug in. Can I connect the computer to AC power adaptor and then to Ipod docking station?
I have tried connecting Ipod to another USB port, no success either.
Help! Troubleshooting this on my own has taken its toll. I tried everything!

When i said reboot, I meant "restarts my Ipod".
I tried installing driver to no success. What could be wrong? My Ipod just doesn't communicate with my computer since the latest Itunes was installed.

Artwork in Cover flow not matching artwork in tab?

Ok, example - I’ve got 5 tunes from the same artist. All have different artwork that is displayed correctly in the artwork tab but in cover flow it just uses the same cover for all 4 tracks. Is there anything I can do about it so that cover flow displays artwork correctly?
I’ve tried removing the artwork but it just removes the artork from the tab and leaves an image in cover flow.
So removed the track from iTunes - put it back in and added the correct artwork and cover flow still puts in the same artwork!?
G5 Dual 2.5gig Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I’ve sorted it. I clicked on the info tab and it shows each of the tracks as being part of a compliation - I just un-ticked the box and the artowrk now displays correctly
