Select characters/symbols won't display on iPod 160GB Classic since restore

I don't know if anyone has come across this yet or not. My new iPod 160GB Classic crashed after 1 week. Since restoring, I've noticed that certain characters/symbols won't display in artist/title names on my iPod that used to display just fine before the restore (symbols like + and ÿ). The restore function says that it restores it to the 'original factory settings,' but obviously not. I have tried restoring again, but that hasn't solved the problem. I've tried getting the track names from Gracenote (thinking maybe it was a font-specific thing), but that didn't help either. I know it seems petty, but I'm not sure how to solve it. The latest update has been applied to my iPod and I have the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas? I believe the crash was caused by a third party software which has since been removed. I have not experienced any problems since.

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.

Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
What's going on, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance..

in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

Contact's photos won't display on iPod?

I've got an 80GB video iPod running with the latest version of iTunes. I'm sure photos from my address book used to display...now they've gone...any ideas anyone?

You need at least Mac OS X 10.4.3 for the contact photos to appear on your iPod.

Album covers won't display in Cover Flow mode.

I've just recently re-installed my Windows XP, re-installed iTunes, and re-installed all my music again from my back-up discs. My iTunes is working fine ie plays the music, searches, displays iTunes store etc. However, when I click on the Cover View icon when playing an album it states, 'iTunes unable to browse album covers on this computer'. The album covers show up in the list/album view but not in cover view. It didn't do this before. Maybe it's something simple I've missed - any ideas?

Does this article help?

Album art won't display on ipod screen

i just rec'd the new 60gb ipod for xmas and i can't figure out how to make the album art display on the screen. can anyone help me?

the album art has to first be imported into iTunes for it to show up on iPod. To do this, open a site like google and do image searches on the albums (don't go above 300x300 pixels or it'll take up too much space). Then, open the song edit and drag the album art into the space for it. repeat for all discs and then update iPod, should work fine.

Album artwork won't display on iPod?

I have been struggling with this problem for awhile now -- any help would be appreciated!
When I have my iPod plugged into my computer, I can see all of the album artwork that is set for my music on my iPod through iTunes. However, when my iPod is playing on its own, none of the album artwork will display. I have "display album artwork" set in the options. I have tried unchecking this option, ejecting the iPod from the computer, reconnecting the iPod, then rechecking the option, but this hasn't worked. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I believe this may have to do with how you are assigning the artwork to the albums. It seems like you have to assign the album art to every song in the album in order for it to show correctly on your ipod. For example, if you have a song playing in iTunes and you paste the artwork in the "paste artwork here" in the lower left corner; that is only updating the current song (even if you select multiple).
I have found the easiest thing to do is as follows (windows):
Highlight all the songs in an album. Right click-->Get Album Artwork. Pray that works. If iTunes can't find the artwork then plan B:
1) go to Amazon.com or or google images and find an image and the copy (just right click-->copy).
2) select all songs for an album-->right-click-->Get Info-->Check "Artwork", right-click-->paste

Some songs won't display on ipod

I figure this seems more like an itunes syncing issue than an actual ipod problem, so I'll post it here...
It would seem that some songs under certain artists will not display in my ipod. This occurs when some songs are listed as being from one album, and the others are not tagged as being from an album at all. When I click the artist, it proceeds directly to the menu for that one album, skipping the screen which would normally give me the option to click "all". This problem does not occur when there is more than one album listed for that artist.
Example:
Song A - Album A
Song B - Album A
Song C
Song D
Song E
My ipod will only display the songs on Album A, giving me no access to the "All" menu and consequently no access to any songs which are not labelled as being on a specific album.
This problem does not occur with the following scenario:
Song A - Album A
Song B - Album A
Song C - Album B
Song D
Song E
In this case, I would get the select album menu, at which there would be an option for "All," giving me access to the songs which are not tagged as being on an album.
Is this a bug, or are my settings screwed up?

Not completely certain what you are trying to describe, but the first thing I would look at is your mp3 tags.
Both iTunes and the iPod are very sensitive to incorrect mp3 tags.
In iTunes 7 you now also have album artist as well as artist, if I were you I would select the middle view in iTunes 7 (the one which gives you a small picture next to the artist) and just see how your artists and albums are arranged.
After upgrading to iTunes 7, I had to spend about two hours organising album artists and compilations, this was never an issue before v7.
Once this is done your music should display on your iPod correctly.

Album art won't display on ipod

I added a bunch of album art to songs, but they only show up in itunes, not on my ipod. Any idea why?

Ok so let me get this straight: to add any artwork, I have to first delete all my songs and then auto-sync the music back into the ipod. Then I manually add whatever artwork I want. And I CANNOT add artwork if the music has not been added via auto-sync (which is strange, since I used to be able to). Is this all correct? The problem with auto-syncing is that I have music scattered across several computers and in many different locations, which makes porting it over to a single location a real pain. That is why I don't like using auto-sync, and that's why I wish there was an easier way to do this.

Album artwork won't display on ipod! help!

my album artwork shows up on my itunes library, but doesn't show up on my ipod. what am i doing wrong?

So you're saying you no longer have your music library in iTunes? That's pretty risky behavior. At some point, most folks end up having to Restore the iPod, which erases it. If you don't have your music in iTunes, you'll have to rip it all over again. And you'll lose anything you've purchased from the iTunes store.
And enabling "Show Album Artwork on iPod" isn't going to do any good if you no longer have your music (and artwork) in iTunes to resync with the iPod.

IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.

160gb ipod classic won't display album artwork...sometimes

I have a 160GB iPod Classic (version 2.0.4 PC), and ran into a strange problem regarding displaying album artwork. Here's what I can describe:
--> When browsing through albums, any albums that have been added to my iPod or had their info changed since a certain time (not sure of the exact date but I believe it to be July 2013) do not display artwork.
--> If these albums are played, one song from the album will not display artwork, but all the rest will. I can't detect any set pattern as to which song won't display artwork once I update it, but I'm sure there's some pattern.
--> All the album artwork is displayed on Cover Flow and on iTunes, but not in these places.
--> It doesn't matter whether I downloaded the artwork directly through iTunes (i.e. clicked "Get Album Artwork") or put in artwork from a file on my computer, this happens literally every single time.

Ipod won't display but music still plays and i can move around in menu...

My Ipod mini won't display anything on the screen even after I reset it, I even hear the click type sound come from the headphones when its turned on. Right now I'm listening to music and the screen isn't showing anything is my screen broke???If it is what do I do???

Open the iPod Software Updater application. It can be found by clicking on the Start menu, pointing to All Programs (Windows XP) or Programs (Windows 2000), and then point to iPod.
It says that but in the computer I don't have an Ipod thingy in my programs???

IPod won't display songs in MyMusic folder; can't copy songs to iPOd

I formatted my HD. I copied the library of the iPod back onto the computer into MyMusic. However my iPod won't display any of the songs that I recopied onto the computer. I was forced to reformat the iPod. My song library is in MyMusic the whole time but the iPod won't display any of it. How can I get my iPod to display the songs in MyMusic? I can't copy the songs onto the iPod as the songs are already in MyMusic.

Yes. I can see it there and play it as well...I just can't get it to transfer to my ipod from the itunes library. And it only happened with a few songs and I don't know what I did to make it so that it only trasferred to my library and not my ipod. But it is playable and viewable in my library and only when it is connected. Otherwise only the songs that are already on my ipod are viewable.
Does that make sense?
Let me know if it doesn't
Thanks so much

Ipod won't display song info under "Now Playing"

I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. My 60GB IPOD works fine, plays fine and displays info (and movies, photos, etc.) correctly in all areas except the "Now Playing" screen, at which point it won't display any info (song title, artist, album art, etc.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Patrick

My ipod had this exact same problem.
