Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

Here's the solution for the *[Error -50|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539]*

Please help

Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

Which iPod touch do you have? If you're not sure, take a look at this -> Identifying iPod models
This Apple article outlines the versions of iOS that will work on each iPod touch.
Notes:
iOS 4.2 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (2nd generation).
iOS 3.1.3 is the latest version of iOS for iPod touch (1st generation). If you are using an iPod touch (1st generation) with iOS 2.x or earlier, you can purchase iOS 3 from the iTunes Store. See this article for more information.

I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
However, you may be able to get some photos by:
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

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?

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data. It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password. They took about 41+ dollars from my account. I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

No. From the second link below.
"Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product
- If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
- Apple will not help

I want to sync my ipod touch on itunes but it is telling me that i can only open it on one, what can i do so i won't have to delete anything and still be able to sync in?

my computer got all messed up so now i am using a different user on the computer to use it. iTunes isn't letting me sync my ipod touch 4g. It keeps on saying "This ipod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPOd can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I don't think i want to try the erase and sync method because i think it will delete everything. Is there anyway that i can sync my ipod into this iTunes and not have everything deleted?

No.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

Can't sync any apps to iPod Touch? (ver. 2.1.1)

Hi there, can any one tell me why can't I sync apps to my iPod Touch 2 Gen? My firmware ver. is 2.1.1. Thanks

I'm in a similar boat.
I should have 4 apps installed on my iPod Touch 1st generation (version 2.1), although only 3 appear right now -- I'll get to that in a moment.
My real problem is that the apps do not show up in iTunes. They are not listed in the Applications section nor do they show up on the Applications tab when the iPod is selected. When I connect, the title window indicates that Remote, Koi Pond, and Google Earth are being backed up, but they do not appear anywhere else in iTunes. Music I purchase on the iPod does get transferred to iTunes and appears in the library and in the "Purchased on iPod" list, so the basics seem to be working.
The reason one app is missing has to do with app updates. I obtained the Simplify Media (SM) app while it was free, and there were several updates after that. Trying to download the updates either failed or caused SM to appear a second time. The only solution seemed to be to delete it and then "buy" and download the updated version. That worked acceptably well until somewhere along the line the apps stopped appearing in iTunes. Now SM is no longer free, so my previous purchase seems to have been lost
Does anyone have an idea how to get the apps to become visible in iTunes again?
If I "repurchase" Simplify Media, will the app store realize I previously "purchased" it and let me simply download it again at no additional cost?

How can I remove "Album Artwork" from my iPhone and iPad?

I've posted about this before in other threads, but the silence from Apple has been deafening, Others in the community have agreed with the request but haven't been able to answer it.
I thought a thread of its own might get attention, since Apple won't talk to me otherwise.
I use music on my iPhone and iPad a lot, playing through speakers in my study or through the car system. It worked well at first, until I updated the operating systems.
Now, where I used to have a list of albums, music, or playlists I have large blank areas where album artwork would go if there were any - which in most cases there isn't. The iPad used to display 50 or more playlists in one screen,with some details of them. Now, it shows 15 blank squares with a crotchet on them, and the name of the playlist. That really isn't much use.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can there be a way to turn OFF album artwork on the iPhone and iPad? It wastes an enormous amount of screen space for stuff I don't have and don't want. It's a very unwelcome new "feature" (ie "bug").

Apple does not participate in these forums, so that would explain why you have not received a response.
I am not aware of a way to turn off Album art on the devices. If you want to let Apple know of your desire for this setting, go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. That is where you communicate with them. They will receive the feedback, however they do not respond to it.

I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
For added info:
I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
Thank you.

Hi, JEvansIII.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps. If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

IPod Touch and 5G not recognized by WinXP Computers

I am not very good at troubleshooting iPods and I thought this would be the best place to find some help. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
The problem: I have an iPod Touch and iPod 5G that are not recognized by a Windows Computer. I have tried several troubleshooting steps and I will just outline everything step by step. Neither of the iPods show up in device manager, and when I try the "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes it shows that no iPod is attached. I've made sure the iPod service is running and tried stopping and restarting that also- but the iPod never shows up under Device Manager.
1. I have tried the 5R's several times. Each iPod has been reset 3 times and iTunes uninstalled and re-installed 3 times.
2. I have tried a total of 3 Windows Computers all with the same problem.
3. I did a factory restore on one of the computers just to troubleshoot an OS problem. The restore had no effect. It was a "destructive" restore meaning the disk was formatted- not just a repair.
4. When each of the iPods are connected, the screen lights up and the charging indicator appears.
6. I installed an add-on USB card in the computer I restored- but this made no difference.
7. I have tried restarting the computer with the iPod attached.
8. I am using the same USB cable for each iPod.
That is about all the detail I can think of. Typing this out makes me thing I need a new USB cable- but they are charging ok.
This problem has been going on for about 6-7 months but I finally have some time to try and get it fixed. It would be nice to have some new music on them.
Thanks for any help!

There are two separate drivers that need to be loaded on your PC. The 5G uses the older driver, and troubleshooting for it can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
The iPod touch/iPhone uses something called Apple Mobile Device Services to communicate with iTunes. This one is a bit different in that the touch/iPhone will not show up on the desktop as a device. For troubleshooting tips, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Good luck and write back if your problems continue.
