Artwork on IPOD not what's on ITUNES

I have album covers for most of my songs. In Itunes everything is correct. The IPOD has them all mixed up.
Any suggestions other then resetting the thing and starting over?

If your ITunes is updated and your IPod is plugged in, highlight your IPod name in ITunes and under the "Music Tab" there is an option to show album artwork. I hope this helps.

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it

    Ipod not showing up on itunes or my computer.it recharges when i connect it but it dosent show up under devices so i cant sync any music!!the screen on the ipod would usually say "connecting"or"do not disconnect"but it dosent say that anymore!!Ive been trying to fix it for DAYS but i cant find a good enough solution.PLZ HELP!!(p.s. i have a 4th generation nano)

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod not recognized by Windows / iTunes

    Hello,
    I hope someone here can help. So far my first experience with Apple support has NOT been a positive impression.
    I searched for info on this problem, but the other ones I see all seem to be related to freezing or battery issues.
    iPod Classic 120GB, I don't sync very often, and just finished doing a bunch of cleanup in iTunes (album artwork, song info, etc.) and want to re-sync the pod.
    When I connect to the PC with the USB cable, Windows doesn't seem to recognize the device, and it doesn't show up in iTunes.
    It is charging through USB, however. The battery is fully charged.
    I tried 3 different USB ports on the PC.
    Tried restarting iTunes.
    Tried restarting the computer.
    Went to Apple support website, tried the troubleshooting assistant:
    Reset the pod.
    *Had already tried different USB ports.
    *Had already trired restarting the PC (Although it mentions checking for the latest software updates - I didn't do this. WHAT software updates should I look for? Device drivers? OS updates? WHAT???)
    Re-installed iTunes. (Was already at v 9.2.1.4)
    *Did not try the restore. Reading the instructions, it appears that the iPod has to be connected to do this, and that's the problem -won't connect!
    Also read something about disk mode. I set the iPod to disk mode, but it's not recognized that way, either. When connected by USB in this mode, the iPod screen still says "OK to disconnect".
    I tried the link "iPhone, iPad, or iPod is not recognized by Windows".
    I do not see the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" anywhere in Device Manager. I suppose this is the problem.
    However, continuing with the instructions, it says to take a photo with an iPhone, or a screenshot with an iPod touch or iPad. WHAT ABOUT THE IPOD CLASSIC?????
    (These instructions also say to disconnect the device, but nowhere says when to connect it. Why do they put half-baked troubleshooting instructions on their web site???)
    Is there anyone from Apple support on this list who can help? I believe the driver needs to be reinstalled somehow, but it didn'thappen when i re-installed iTunes, so how do I do this?
    Thanks

    Hello
    I have been having nearly the same problem as Crashcup for the past month. Differences being I am operating with Windows Vista and my iPod is a 160GB Classic. I have gone through all the steps in the troubleshooting documents to no result. I attach my iPod and it is not recognized by Windows, iTunes or even in Device Manager. Not even as an "Unknown Device".
    I know there is nothing wrong with the USB ports as two different external hard drives and a video game controller work perfectly fine through them. Same goes with the iPod itself; it continues to play and function normally, and is recognized by a charging device completely separate from my laptop. Just when attached to the computer there is no sign of it.
    I am very frustrated that there is no further instruction with regard to what to do with an iPod Classic (as referred to by Crashcup: "...it says to take a photo with an iPhone, or a screenshot with an iPod touch or iPad. WHAT ABOUT THE IPOD CLASSIC????)
    Any help would be much appreciated.l=

  • Ipod not recognized by windows, itunes, and will not charge with pc.

    yesterday, when i went to sync some new music onto my 1gen nano, it did not work (duh). i plugged it in 3 times:
    -1st, it displayed the "do not connect screen" for one second, and itunes flashed the screen it shows when your ipod is connected, but then the ipod disconnected itself after that one second.
    -2nd, windows gave me a message saying the hardware could not be recognized.
    -3rd, nothing at all happened, as has been happening each time i try to plug it in since then.
    i've done the 5 R's .. and i've tried all the suggestions shown on posts that sound like mine, including these: Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
    iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
    my ipod will charge when plugged into a wall charger, and it plays normally. also, my brother's ipod (2nd gen nano) is recognized by windows/itunes.

  • Ipod not being recognized by itunes--was a few weeks ago--have not done 1.1

    hi. i have not installed the 1.10.2006 update as i've seen lots of people have problems with that on these boards. however, today when i tried to sync my ipod, the usb port did not recognize it was there and itunes was not automatically pulled up. so i could not update my music, nor could i do the new firmware install if i wanted to. those programs are not recgonizing that the ipod is plugged in.
    i've tried to reinstall itunes, that didn't help. tried to get all the windows updates, but ms couldn't verify my os is valid (it totally is). i've reset my ipod several times and would restore it, excpet the updater doesn't recognize it's plugged in. the battery is fully charged.
    i've also had problems with the ipod not turning on or off, or skipping 4+ songs when i try to just skip ahead one.
    not sure what the deal is, and i'd appreciate any help.
    thanks.

    Hi.
    You could try to restore it once more. Do you use the same computer all of the time? Do you manually sync music, or automatically sync?
    I guess you are running Windows, so iTunes could have hidden some files which didn't delete when you first uninstalled. Take a look at this:
    http://zardozz.com/zz/2008/04/how-to-completely-uninstall-and-remove-all-traces- of-itunes.html
    If you do this, after you have re-installed, you could then try the disk mode if it doesn't connect.

  • Ipod not being recognized by Itunes, yet appears on desktop.

    Earlier today I had my 80 gb ipod classic plugged into my ancient G4 Powerbook.  Everything was fine until the ipod accidently fell off of my desk.  In falling it had dislatched itself from the usb connection.  I had got the message on my computer screen about the device being removed in the wrong manner. I went through the ipod's menu to see if everything was alright, and low and behold all my songs were gone.  I had decided to plug my Ipod back in the computer.  It showed up on the desktop as usual but when I brought Itunes up it didn't appear in the side panel.  I rebooted my computer and I reset my ipod but to no avail.  I know that all isn't lost because I can still see my songs are on the ipod, yet I can't access them when I have the ipod connected into my computer (The only folders I have access to are Calendars, Contacts, Notes, Photos and Recordings).  As of right now I can still see that 54 out of 80 gbs are available.  I'm at a bit of a standstill in what to do next though.  If I can't save my songs then i'll just have to take the loss but I'm hoping that I can do something.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar problem. My iPod Classic would even launch iTunes when I connected it but it only appeared in the Finder, not in iTunes. I finally found an old Apple Support article that worked for me:
    Delete the iPod.plist file
    Quit iTunes. Delete the following file in the your home directory and open iTunes again.
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ipod.plist
    After I deleted the plist, I reconnected the iPod, iTunes started automatically, and the iPod was recognized by iTunes and synced.

  • IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

    Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

    Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

  • IPod not being recognised in iTunes

    Hi all
    I sold my iPod on eBay and, as far as I could tell, it was working perfectly when it was sent off. The buyer has sent it back to me claiming it wasn't being recognised in her iTunes and to my surprise it's now not being recognised in mine. I plug in the iPod and it charges through my Mac but does not become recognised in iTunes at all. Does anyone have any ideas as I am going to have to refund the buyer AND the iPod seems caput so it would be great if I could get it working one way or the other. Thanks so much in advance.

    I tried what you suggested but it didn't seem to work for me. When i started the error check nothing happened, the bow for checking errors closed immideiatly after i clicked start. Did you do anythig else before checking the drive for errors, like put it in disk mode?

  • Ipod not being found by itunes

    When i connect my iPod to my laptop itunes cannot find it. Both iPod and iTunes work perfectly when used seperately but as soon as i attach them the iTunes is classed as *"not responding".* The menu is frozen and i cant select any options despite the iPod screen having "Connected" displayed. When the iPod is then disconnected the message *"The iPod "Mike's iPod" cannot be synced. The requied folder cannot be found"* appears in the box that contains a red cross.
    This means i cannot sync any new material to my iPod. What should i do? Please help as it would be much appreciated and i have tried everything the support site suggests.

    Try deleting your preference files and restarting. These files can be found in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.(itunes.eq, ipod, itunes).plist/

  • Ipod not showing up in Itunes on Mac computer

    When I plug in my ipod touch to my computer it does not show up in Itunes. do I need to reset my ipod touch?
    Help!!! I have done all the things to troubleshoot this situation other than reset my ipod. I am afraid to do this. I don't want to loose anyting.

    I would try:
    - Rebooting your computer
    - Resetting the iPod.  Nothing would be lost.
    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.
    - Trying another USB port and cable

    Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - Last would be to place it in recovery mode and then restore it.  However, you will loose everthing on the iPod.  Restoring from backy and syncing will then restore you iPod to what it was before the last backup.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • IPod not showing up in iTunes 7

    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes the other day and now my iPod no longer appears on the screen. I've tried plugging and unplugging it many times. The DO NOT DISCONNECT icon appears on the screen but then immediately disappears even though the USB cord is still attached. I've already restored the iPod and then redownloaded all my music. I don't know what else to do. Do I need to do it again?

    Sorry I can't help you. I wih I could cause I have the same problem.
    Downloaded iTunes 7.0.1 update, now my 2nd generation 8Gb nano gives the message on screen: 'Do not disconnect'. Restarted iTunes, then the G5, then repaired permission, then ran Diskwarrior, but;
    My Nano still doesn't appear on the desktop. Still have the 'Do not disconnect' message on screen, and can't seem to reset or anything.
    Anyone any thoughts? Going on a 24 hour plain trip so would love to have my music wtih me...

    Many thanks lllaass
    I had gone through the first part without success but had decided not to go through the second stage. But following your recommendation I did just that and it works!
