Disappearing album art!!HELP!

All info like computer and such is at bottom.
I was just getting some new music and putting it on my iPod, like I always do. I unplug it regularily (at least..I think)but I notice the Apple pops up before it goes back to my regular iPod. (the apple you see when you restart your iPod)The menu is the standard one you get when you first get the iPod, not my custom one. And when I go to my Cover Art, all of it has disappeared!Absolutely nothing!!
If anyone can help, I would SO appreaciate it!

Okay, so I found the answer to my own post so I thought I'd share it for anyone else who had the same problem. When you plug in your iPod, under Music there is a box that has to do with saving album art. Uncheck it, and save it. Then, recheck it and save. If this doesn't work for you the first time, DON'T GIVE UP!! It took me quite a few tries before I got it.

  • Album art help.

    I can't get album art to show up on my ipod. I open up itunes, click on my ipod, then play the song I want the album art to play on. Then I drag the album art from my documents and place it in the box in the bottom left. When I play the song from my ipod through itunes I see the album art but when I disconnect the ipod and play that song I do not see any album art. I have it turned on so I can see it too. Help?

    There is a simple freeware program that can help make the time-consuming task of copying Album Art in iTunes very easy. It's called "Clutter" and is located at sprote.com/clutter/.
    After you download the program, open it and keep the program window up front. Then play the song in iTunes. If you have a full CD/Album, play the first song. You should then see the CD/Album cover show up in the window. Then, simply go to Clutter > File > Copy Cover to iTunes. The cover art will then be applied to every song in the album playlist. Clutter searches the Amazon.com database for CD/Album covers. Usually it finds the correct ones with no problem. It sometimes brings up the wrong one if you have unusual or less than popular music titles.
    Make sure you have turned on the options to show Album Art on your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Album Art Help ple

    How do i get the album art into my player? (Zen 4gb)

    I have the same problem.
    Media Monkey is a valid solution but I like also mp3tag by Maniactools.com
    But they are not perfect. I would like something that does everything in automatic while these 2 softwares require that you select any album.
    There is also a script for MediaMonky called Batch art finder that should have this function but it doesn't seem working for me.
    If anybody could help us would be great.

  • Video iPod Album Art Help

    Hi, I have a 60GB video iPod and it has the album art enabled and I see the little picture when it is playing music, but when I hit the middle button twice to see the big album art picture, it doesn't show up. All I see is a white box with a black line that makes the box where the big album art should show up.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I think this is a case of the bytesize of the album art. Some of my art was acting the same so I deleted the picture and replaced with a new that knew was smaller in bytesize. Helps, but sometimes it is slow to show and comes after halfway through the song.
    Regards,

  • Disappearing Album Art Work.

    On my Ipod before today (10th December 2008) my album art work was all fine. Every song that I wanted art of was there, Album art relied on an Album name and Album Artist. But now on my Ipod when I go through albums some album art work doesn't show (It shows black) even thoguh it shows on Itunes. When I look up Itunes Store for albums some albums do not exist anymore that existed beforehand. Why is this so and has the system changed since then?

    i think this may be a screen resolution issue, what if you change screen resolutions, buy lingeriedoes this change things. OR do you have any itunes that worked also before, it will be nice to see more, maybe steroidssome picture or similar, to understand more properly what to say

  • Disappearing album art

    About 1% of my library's (60,000 items) disappeared. Some of the artwork is supplied by iTunes while some has been added by myself. In fact many of the covers I embedded years ago. Any way, there seems to be no discernible pattern.
    I have restarted the Mac, repaired permissions; to no avail.
    Anybody have an idea of what's going on here?

    Is it gone in the info box?

  • Album art disappeared off iPod! Won't go back on! Please help-

    This is frustrating beyond belief! Anyway, this is how it went down:
    I was updating & synching my iPod (the new iPod video version, 80GB) as usual. Bored, I was looking around in the different tabs while I waited. On the music tab, I saw a check box that said "Display album artwork on you iPod" and it was unchecked. Confused by this, as my album art had always shown up before, I figured I might as well check it just in case to keep my album art ON my iPod. :O Seemed like an okay idea at the time, but the second I clicked "Apply" my iPod started synching with the message "Deleting Album Artwork from iPod" (or something basically like that". I was like HOLY CRAP that's not what I wanted (more like exactly the opposite...), so I clicked "Cancel" but the darn thing continued and finished anyway. Turning on my iPod, I found that indeed all my album art was gone and all my text was center justified, as if it had never existed. (While it's all still there in my Library, displaying just fine~)
    So I figured I better uncheck that box (even though it was called "Display album artwork" in the first place) and try to undo what had just happened. I did and on the next synch, it said something like "Optimizing Album Artwork for iPod" and I thought YAY. Maybe it's going back on. But the synch lasted only a few minutes (not seeming long enough for 4,000+ songs worth of artwork to get on there) and, again, when I turned my iPod back on the album artwork was STILL not back on, this time my text being completely left justified (like there SHOULD be artwork) but there was nothing else there...
    I've always been a stickler for my library, making sure all my albums are organized and have artwork (often making my own when I can't find it) and I will be VERY upset if I can't figure out a way to get it to display on my iPod again!!! TT__TT I'm so sad. Now both checking or unchecking that box that started this in the "Music" tab do absolutely nothing, and nothing seems to put my artwork back on. Please, if anybody can suggest anything, I would be SO grateful... (Restoring the iPod is the only other thing I can think of [it's software is completely up to date[ and I really don't have the time for that right now.)

    Sounds very weird and talk about unintended results ...
    By the by restoring the ipod is not a bid deal (although takes some time).
    How about this (have not tried it) and assuming you still have artwork on your music library in itunes. Turn on manual synch mode once the ipod is connected. You should see the list of songs you actually have on the ipod. Delete every song and synch (I know, it will take time since you have 4000 + songs). and then turn back automatic synch and re-synch. May be once in manual mode, you could try re-synchinig only a portion of your library to see if it works That's the best I can think of.

  • About a month ago, most of the Album art on my iPod just up and disappeared.

    So, about a month ago, for no apparent reason at all, almost all of the album art on all of the music on my iPod just disappeared and was replaced by the default white art. It even happened to most of my purchased music! As time passed, some of it gradually re-appeared, which is really weird, but most of it is still gone. I have 174 albums on my ipod and about only 1/4 of them have art. Before this problem happened, almost every single album had art. I meticulously spend HOURS adding really nice album art to the music on my iPod, and then this happens.
    I'm genuinely quite upset. I use my iPod a LOT and have put a lot of money into Apple. A problem like this should not be happening. I'm actually very tech-savvy (going to be getting a CS degree) but this problem baffles me at every turn and it's extremely frustrating.
    So, last night, I tried to fix the problem again. I made an album in my music folder and added the proper information to each song, with an album cover (500X500 - all of my album art is 500X500) in the folder where the songs reside. I then plug my iPod in and open iTunes. I then go into file and add the album to my iTunes library, and then I go to the songs and add the album cover to their information via the "add artwork" submenu of the get info on the songs. I then sync the songs to my iPod normally, and the album art shows up on them. Great. Wonderful.
    I then think, "Oh, maybe I can fix all of my OTHER album art manually!".
    So I go to my artists on my iPod and find an album titled Asteroid (it's a song by Rameses B) which doesn't have a cover but should. I deleted it off of my iPod. I then plugged my iPod back into my computer and tried to re-sync the song Asteroid back onto my iPod but nothing happened. It WOULD NOT, and I mean WOULD NOT sync that **** song to my iPod. It just sat there like I never did anything at all. My method of syncing is that I find the song and drag-drop it to the iPod menu on the right side of my screen.
    So then I kind of gave up for the night. It was midnight and I was done with this **** after trying to get that song to sync for at least 20 minutes.
    So I eject the iPod from my computer (SAFELY) and close iTunes normally, bla bla bla, go to sleep.
    I get up this morning and go to my music app and ALL OF MY ALBUM ART ON EVERYTHING IS GONE. *POOF*, gone. Including the songs that I'd synced last night! What the ****! How does that even happen?!
    Some more information:
    I'm running Windows 7 with a fully updated iTunes. My iPod is fully updated as well. As in iOS 7.1.0, non-Beta. It's an iPod touch 5th generation.
    So, my question is, how the heck do I get my album art back on my darn iPod?! I have tried manually re-syncing individual songs after deleting them off of my iPod and they won't re-sync. I have also tried re-syncing my entire music library to my iPod, and the result was the same as before. Most of the album art didn't transfer to the iPod.
    I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I'm at the very verge of jailbreaking this thing and iFunbox-ing all of my album art over to it forcefully. If Apple can't fix my problem, I will. I'm at that point right now.
    Please help.
    Thank you so much in advance.

    I've experienced this problem when my album art where TOO BIG and TOO SMALL. But once I deleted those problems and re-added new one's of a better size. It worked. Don't know if that's your problem. I have also found that it doesn't always update all the album arts at once. Usually I have to do a few updates for it to update all. Also sometimes I feel that it's a good idea to reformat the ipod with the ipod updater. Hope that helps.

  • Album Art Not Displaying/Disappearing

    I've had the iTouch for a week & all of a sudden most of the album art disappeared from the iTouch. I synced again, some came back but much of the album art does not display even though it's in the iTunes library. Also, album art is duplicated for other/different artists. What's happening? Any solutions?

    This is also happening to me.
    First the album art vanished, and then I would resync, and the album art would go to different albums.
    my Breaking Benjamin album art went on my Frank Sinatra album, and my Gnarls Barkley album.
    My 50 Cent album art went to the Brad paisley album, and the Rufus Wainwright album .This is doing this, even after I updated the iPod.

  • Restored my library from backup discs, need help with album art/playlist

    Good morning everyone. Using the great information on this site I have successfully backed up "my library". I then reformatted my hd and reinstalled win xp and itunes. I was also successful in using the awesome restore feature of itunes. "My library" is back 100%.
    The only thing left is the album art and my playlists- both currently on my ipod. My question is how do I update "my library" and "my playlist" from my ipod? I am worried that if I plug in my ipod without knowing what to do then my ipod will try to match "my library" (which does not have artwork) and thus my ipod will delete the album artwork. I have several thousand songs and would HATE to lose that artwork since it would be a time consuming pain to update those manually. Also I have 20 or so playlists on my ipod. I am afraid of losing those (currently on ipod) when I connect to itunes since it will try to update and match the now empty/blank playlist currently in itunes.
    I am sure these are easy solutions for you pros out there. That's why I am asking! You folks have always given the proper help and advice whenever an issue has arisen. Thanks in advance!

    some album covers just aren't exactly square, particularly if the CDs are sold in cardboard flip-cases.
    I deal with artwork in a more hap-hazzard way, but most of the time, i get SQUARE results...
    Just Google the album title, then click the IMAGES tab. More times than not, I find the album cover in multiple sizes and about every time, at least one version that is truly square.
    All i need to do then is click the image, then again at the top of the resulting Google page (to show just the image - out of it's surrounding page), then drag the image directly to the Album Artwork Placeholder in the GET INFO tab (that has already been opened on multiple items - the whole album).

  • Help In Moving the Album Art Folder

    Hi,
    Wonder if anybody can help me... I am running the latest ITunes on Windows Media Center edition. My problem is that the Album Art Folder is located on my C: drive and I am running out of storage and would like to move it to my Itunes folder on my other drives where my music is currently located. Also if anybody knows how to move the Ipod games folder that would be great as well.
    Thanks in advance

  • Add Album Art - Having Problems - HELP!

    I'm having problems adding album art to my itunes library. I've already done the "advanced"--->"Get Album Art" thing but there are quite a few albums that iTunes DIDN'T find. So, I selected one that iTunes didn't find and I drug a .jpg file from a folder, into the bottm-left corner of iTunes and it associated that image with all the files I'd selected from that particular album. Great...so far.
    The problem came when I tried to do the same thing a second time, with another album. Now, the little window at the bottom left reads, "Album Art not Modifiable!" I've tried dragging images of the album cover into the space anyway, but to no avail. WHAT GIVES?
    Can someone tell me how to fix these missing album covers?
    Also, some of the albums iTunes didn't 'find' the artwork for are albums that are even sold BY iTunes! How could it not find the album art for albums I can find right there in iTunes?? I have a new iPhone and, because of the way you can surf albums and songs, it's really important that I get all the album art stuff squared-away!
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
    Thanks, in advance!

    Instead of trying to drag the art into iTunes, you
    can copy and paste it. To do this, right click on a
    song with incorrect or missing artwork. Choose "Get
    Info" from the menu that opens. Then click on the
    artwork tab--if there's wrong artwork showing, click
    on the album cover and then the delete button--now
    you'll have a blank box. (If you've already
    right-clicked and selected "copy" for the correct
    jpeg you've found)--right click in this blank box and
    choose "paste". Then click on the ok/yes/save
    button--whatever it is in the lower right corner and
    your correct artwork should show up in iTunes.
    If you want to do an entire album--hold down your
    shift key and highlight all of the songs on the
    album, right click>get info>say yes when you get the
    protest box>choose the artwork tab>right click and
    choose paste.
    Your song tags have to exactly match the way songs
    are tagged in the iTunes store to have the artwork
    download automatically. Sometimes a misplaced space
    can be the culprit. Often iTunes downloads the wrong
    artwork--so allowing iTunes to handle your album art
    is not foolproof!
    When I try to do what you suggested, I get a iTunes warning that says:
    "The Song "Song Name Here" cound not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    If I click "Yes" I get a browser window, and if I click "Cancel" I get the info page you talked about; but I can't click on the image because the "Artwork Tab" doesn't exist! I checked some other files and it turns out, that the "Artwork" tab ONLY shows up on files where there's ALREADY some artwork showing! My problem is not that the WRONG artwork is associated with the song or album, it's that there isn't ANY artwork associated with it.
    So my question is still: HOW do I associate artwork with music that doesn't show a picture, even after iTunes has searched for the appropriate one and come up with NO image at all?
    I'm wondering why iTunes can't locate the original file on some of these songs, though. The only thing I can think of is that, because I'm in the process of re-organizing my music on my computer into album folders, I may have moved a lot of files from the location where iTunes originally found them. Some songs, iTunes has no problem locating, but they seem to be the songs that are part of complete albums I've created outside iTunes and then ADDED to my "My Music" folder, where iTunes seems to find it, shortly after it's added to the folder. So, this makes me think I would be better off deleting EVERYTHING from my Library (except those songs/albums I bought from iTunes) and then RE-add ONLY the re-organized music folders- keeping all the stuff I have yet to straighten-out, completely out of iTunes until it IS organized. How do I clear my library and, then, how do I rebuild it from the music folders I choose? Do you think this would fix my problem?
