Cover art keeps disappearing when I sync.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer about half of my cover art for my music albums disappears.  The only way I have found that I can fix this is by deleting my entire music library and then syncing all over again which takes hours.  It's very annoying.  I've read many other posts on numerous discussion boards where people describe the same issue, but I haven't yet read about a solution.  I find it hard to believe that Apple can't figure this out. 

Try to delete all calendars on your Mac. After that set up one event in iCal. Go to iTunes and sync, iTunes should merge both calendars. But backup iCal on your Mac before you start, just in case...

    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • Cover art continually disappears

    I have a 60GB iPod Color-Photo, I've had it for about 18 months.
    Recently, about 2 or 3 months ago, I started noticing that my cover art was no longer showing up on my iPod. (It shows fine in iTunes.)
    I searched Apple's support site, and went through all of the "five R" steps. After doing so and re-syncing my iPod, all of my cover art re-appeared! But now, just 3 days later, on the same sync/charge since doing the "five R's", my cover art is gone again.
    Is there any way I can prevent my cover art from disappearing? I'm not terribly excited about having to go through all of the "five Rs" every time I sync my iPod. I'm also at a point where I'm considering upgrading to a 5G Video iPod, but this cover art issue is making me hesitate.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Same Trouble here!
    Anyone?

  • Photos that were on my iPhone 3Gs disappeared when I sync'd onto my PC.

    I had photos that were on my iPhone 3Gs that disappeared when I sync'd the phone to my PC (Windows XP 2007). Where did they go and how do I get them a) back or b) get the photos moved to My Pictures folder? I did find the iPod Photo Cache within My Pictures folder. However, i can't open any of the subfolders so I don't know if these are the photos I lost. Further, I have no trouble downloading photos from my PC to the iPod. What happened here? How I make sure this doesn't happen again? Is there a way to recover the photos on my phone?

    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone.
    As with iTunes content, photos can be transferred to an iPhone from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first with a warning message provided indicating this will happen before doing so.
    Photos transferred from your computer is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, and any photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer. If you have a single folder of photos selected to be transferred from your computer and switch to a different folder of photos, the first folder of photos currently on your iPhone will be erased from your iPhone first with a warning message provided before this occurs, but all photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are not included with your iPhone's backup, but these photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

  • My calendar events keep disappearing when I add them to my iphone 5 calendar.

    My calendar events keep disappearing from my iphone5 a few days after I put them in. I tried all the fixes listed in other questions, but it's not a matter of syncing or not, the appointments disappear and they're not anywhere else either. I need the appointments to stay on my phone, I don't add appointments any other way or on any other device, and when they're gone, I have no idea what I'm missing. It's screwing up my work schedule because I don't know what has disappeared.

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

  • I am a PC user using 3 PCs w/ iTunes Match. 2 of my PCs sync fine, but my new PC (used to remove duplicates, cover art, update playlists) does not sync with Match. Whats the problem?

    So, to begin I own 3 PCs and the latest iPad/iPhone running iTunes on all 3 PCs. For simplicity, I will refer to the PCs as old, laptop, and new.
    My laptop was my primary PC which i used to set up iTunes match. The old PC had all of my music files which have appeared to have been uploaded to Match. Note that I had already transferred most (if not all) of the music to my laptop but I enabled match so that I could download new files to my old PC. Note that I did quite a bit of cleaning, retagging, and ordering files and that I was told by Apple that Match would recognize duplicates, and as such, would not upload these files to the cloud in Match (this does not appear to be the case, however). My laptop PC (originally set up on Match) indicates there are alot of files in the clould (Match) to download. These seem to be duplicate files which were already cleaned on the Laptop and were uploaded on the old PC machine. Thus, it appears that Apples matching alogorythm is not strong enough to detect minor differences (i.e. cover art) in files and decides to upload them anyway (quite annonying if you ask me). 
    Now, to my problem; I purchased a new PC and have been removing the last duplicate songs, updating cover-art, playlists, among other things. My new PC (which I will refer to as "new") is not recognized by iTunes Match. I have tried uninstalling each app associated with iTunes, starting fresh with a new playlist and library to no avail.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Apple Care does not seem to have much knowledge about Match, which is a bit frustrating. All I wish to do is tell Match that my New PC should be the primary PC which will be used to deliver playlists, music, etc since the other 2 machines have many duplicates and the playlists have errors within them. I thought about these solutions (none of which are no appealing) 1) using the laptop as my primary iTunes Match PC since this was the PC Match was created on (this would require rebuilding playlists and removing a massive amount of duplicates, again), 2) creating a new iTunes Match account based on my New PC (basically starting over), 3) forgetting Match all together and going back to the old school store & sync.
    Anyone have better ideas or experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx!

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

    I am having the same issue with iPhone and Outlook on WinXP SP2. It is not all of my calender meetings, only some.
    I verified the timezone settings as described in this thread. Settings | General | Time Zone Support = Yes. Time Zone = Columbus, USA (Columbus, Ohio?) I also tried other cities in the Eastern Time Zone since it was not clear if Columbus = Ohio or Georgia.
    My desktop computer is set to Eastern Time Zone in the Date/Time Settings of Windows XP. Hours & Minutes are in synch between iPhone and Desktop.
    I have also tried the synch option under the Info tab in iTunes to replace Calendar data on the next synch. No luck.
    Suggestions?

  • My folders disappear when I sync my iPad with iTunes

    I have about 290 apps on my iPad - too many for the 11 screens allowed.  I organized them into folders in iTunes (took me a couple of hours) so that I could see all my apps and find them more easily.  When I synced my iPad with iTunes, they all disappeared.  I'm running verion 4.3.5.  HELP!!!

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • Cover art error message when submitting podcast, but image is the propper size.

    I'm using Soundcloud to host a podcast.  I tried submitting my RSS feed to itunes today, and I keep getting the error stating that my cover art must be at least 1400 x 1400 ect.  The image being used is a 1400 x 1400 .jpg, so I can't figure out what the problem is.  Can someone help me through this?
    Here is my RSS Feed: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:118687921/sounds.rss

    The image is still 600 x 600 - http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000122042307-vnef41-original.jpg - it looks as if SoundCloud is 'helpfully' reducing the size to what used to apply several years ago. I don't know what you can do about this.
    There are several ways of looking at the coding for your feed. The simplest is to control-click on its URL
    http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:118687921/sounds.rss
    and choose 'Download' or 'Save linked file' or similar to download it. Then drag it onto the TextEdit icon to open it. Alternatively nominate a browser as your RSS reader - FireFox is good: Safari almost as good - in FireFox his command-u; in Safari you can access the source code from menus which differer with the version.

  • Cover Art has disappeared

    After updating to 3.1 all of my cover art for both movies and music has disappeared, only the generic icons remain.
    The art is still there in iTunes but not on the phone itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1. First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    2. Reboot your computer and start iTunes. Make sure iTunes is the latest version. Use the Check for Update menu choice. If an update is available download and install it. Then start iTunes and connect your iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why isn't my cover art showing up when i download purchased music to my ipod touch?

    sadly when i buy music from the itunes store the cover art shows up but then when i download it to my ipod touch 4 generation it doesnt show up. i have the newest version of itunes. some one help, the cover art is easier for my brother to detect songs.

    If by cover art, you mean Cover Flow, then ensure that potrait orientation is not locked by bringing in the multi-tasking bar (Double clicking the home button), swiping to the right and make sure that there is no lock icon!
    Then you can rotate your iPod and see your music in Cover Flow!

  • IPhoto album cover images are lost when I sync to my iPad and iPhone. Can I fix this?

    I have a few albums that I created with iPhoto on my Mac. I picked a cover image, and it has worked on the Mac, but when I view the albums on my iPad or iPhone, the cover image is just the default one - it isn't the one I picked. Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

    iPhoto on the Mac and on the iPhone are to totally different programs sharing only a name - at this time changes made in one do not sync to the other - only the photos that yu sync when you sync them are synced
