Album artwork not copying over to ipod touch

Hi there, run into a bit of a problem, I upgraded to 1.1.3 (not 1.1.4 just yet), when I came to re-load my entire library back onto my ipod, it copies the tracks over but fails to transfer the album artwork for abou 98% of the albums.
On my PC EVERY album has artwork as I painstakingly sat there for days on end downloading images and importing them to itunes via the "Get Info" section.
How do I get the album artwork to transfer onto my ipod along with the tracks...?
Thanks, dragon2309

Same here. I spent all day today transferring my library from one computer to another and now this. Artwork shows in itunes but not on the touch...kind of stupid that the touch doesn't have the "display album artwork" option like all the other ipods.
If someone has a way to fix this that doesn't involve removing all the music from the touch and then putting it back on that would be best.

Could not copy song to Ipod Touch due to unknown error (-50)

I just received a new third generation Ipod Touch as a gift and installed the latest iTunes directly from Apple's website onto my computer (Windows 7 32-bit). I added my music folder to the library and imported an m3u playlist to iTunes. Then I connected my iTouch, followed the instructions to set it up, and then I wanted to sync my songs to my iTouch. I only wanted to sync the songs on my "Favorites" playlist that I imported, so under the Music sync settings, I selected the option to only sync selected songs, playlists, etc. and selected the Favorites playlist.
Then I attempted to sync the songs, but only a few songs would sync before an error popped up saying that it could not copy a specific song to the device due to an unknown error (-50). This error sometimes repeats for multiple songs and then the syncing stops. Each time I try to sync it again, it might sync a few more songs, but will always be interrupted by the error, after which it stops syncing. These songs are MP3 files. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.
This is extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I've managed to fix the problem and discovered the reason for it. When I dragged the playlist to the iTouch section in my iTunes (instead of pressing the "Sync" button) to sync the playlist to my device, it synced everything except for the handful of songs that were giving me errors. Then the error messages it displayed were more helpful in indicating what the problem was. They could not locate the song in the playlist on my computer because I had changed the MP3 tags a long time ago, sometime after I added them to the playlist, and it never updated. (Note: the playlist I was syncing was originally made in Zune player and then I saved it as m3u format) Hope this helps someone with a similar problem in the future.

Video podcasts not copying to 5G ipod

I have a 5G 60 video ipod and prior to updating to itunes 7 all was well. I downloaded video podcasts from the itunes store- macbreak video and podsurf
tv. Both podcasts are not on my ipod. I have an imac intel desktop. here's one
message: some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "macBreak 14: automator photoblog," were not copied to "dave's ipod" because
they cannot be played on this ipod. Why aren't these video podcasts copied to my ipod? My ipod software is up to date and I am not using a pc.
I can still buy music and tv shows and copy them to my ipod.
Reading the discussions has me thinking something be wrong with the itunes
update.

I had the same problem with a Happy Tree Friends episode, Eyes Cold Lemonade. I just converted it to M4V with PQ DVD to iPod converter, but it does't show as a podcast, just video. One option...
Maybe if there is a way to delete it and re-download it, it might work that way... I'll have to try that.

ITunes playlist Folders not copied over to iPod?

I have some of my playlists organized by folders (chapters of a book), but the folders do not show up on my iPod. Instead I see a flat list of play-lists -- a problem since that gives me duplicate playlist names. Am I doing something wrong?

As far as I am aware, the iPod Touch doesn't support playlist folders. I recall many posts when playlist folder syncing was first introduced about the function being missing from the iPod Touch and the iPhone. You can however confirm that if you wish by posting in the iPod Touch forum in case a subsequent software update introduced the option: Discussions - iPod Touch

(Item) was not copied to the iPod (Name)'s iPod Touch because it cannot be played on this iPod

Last week I purchased Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 5 off of the iTunes store. I have purchased all previous seasons over the years and they have been able to play on my iPod. But when I purchased this new season, whenever I try to add the episodes to my device, an error comes up saying: "(Episode) was not copied to the iPod "(Name)'s iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod. This has never happened to me before, and I am very confused, and a bit frustrated. Does anyone know what this means and if there is a fix to it?

Greetings Smallen8,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that while trying to sync a video from iTunes to your iPod touch, you receive an alert that the video cannot be played on your iPod. This can happen when you attempt to sync a HD video to your device. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
When you try to sync a purchased HD video that isn't optimized for your device, you may see a message like this one:
HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
Cheers,
Joe

Don't select his apps to sync.
Your iphone will only sync what you select

HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer." My computer is authorized

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account?

file was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod

Hi,
   I'm a complete newb with the first generation iPod Touch. It's my wife's and I don't use it but I wanted to experiement with giving her access to some movies. As an experiment I've encoded 1 chapter of a movie on my Linux box using Handbrake using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset. The file is about 7MB. It plays fine on the Linux box. I've copied it over to my Windows machine, have my wife's iPod Touch hooked up and it's visible in iTunes. I select the video directory for the iPod in iTunes and then try dragging the video file into iTunes. At this point I'm presented the message:
<file> was not copied to the iPod <iPod name> because it cannot be played on this iPod.
   In searching the forums it seems that one potential solution is to choose Advanced->Create iPod or iPhone version which unfortunately is grayed out an unselectable. I suspect that this is because I don't have the video file inside of iTunes, but I'm not sure about that.
   When I choose Library->Movies I just get a few options about renting and downloading that take me to the iTunes store.
   How do I get this video into iTunes so that I can try to get it onto the iPod?
Thanks,
Mark

As a follow-up I talked to my son who has an iPod and he tells me that, assuming I understood him correctly, when I open iTunes and choose Library->Movies I should see something like a file browser, and that when I drag the video from my desktop into iTunes I should see it there in the browser.
I currently am not seeing anything that looks like a file browser, but something more like an adversitisement for capabilities of iTunes and the iTunes store. I've got a green shopping bag that has some text to the right saying 'Download movies' and to the right of that some green tickets to the right with text that says 'Rent movies'.
I understand that I want to use the iTunes converter in the advanced menu, but I haven't figured out how to use that on a random file like the m4v file on my desktop.
Thanks

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

One of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod

i have been trying to figure what the problem with my ipod touch is, im downloading songs from a different source and not itunes store, recently i have had a msg being displayed at the end of synching 'some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod'. however the songs play fine in itunes.
i have re-installed itunes several times, deleted all my music and iported it again. retored my ipod and still i have the same msg. its only stating 8 songs so far that cannot be copied onto my ipod. please can someone help as ive tried everything that i can possibly do. thanks.

Hello mobyash,
Have you tried converting each of these 8 tracks to a different file format and seeing if they will then sync to your iPod. See this Apple support document for information and instructions on how to convert a song to a different format.
