I have had a similar issue, but much more...started with the messed up album art, and now the following problems are happening (5th Generation 30 GB ipod):
won't play video - Just black screen for 10 seconds, then back to menu
sometimes won't play podcasts - when clicking on podcast it goes to the play screen and then without the timer moving it acts as if it's played the entire podcast, and goes back to menu.
also, sometimes the music or podcast gets terribly garbled almost like "electronic noise"
I have restored 2 times, and reset numerous times, but it continues to happen!!

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Album Art - Why can't iTunes do what WMP does!!?

I'm having problems with my album art on the iPod - I have a 40gig photo. It got screwed up with the previous updater (would only show Mercury Rev's deserter songs for ALL albums!), and has now completely vanished with the latest updater, although all artwork is still on iTunes.
I was downloading some CD's at work today using Windows Media Player, and not only did it automatically download the album artwork, it also displays this when you click on the folders in Window's explorer - much more elegant than iTunes...
Why can't Apple implement this for iTunes.
And how do I fix my Album art problem!???!!

the reason iTunes is different than WMP is twofold:
The auto downloading, if I understand correctly, is under contract from a service that Apple didn't sign up to. Therefore WMP gets the files, iTunes doesn't.
The art in iTunes is kept, as per the official specifications, within the file itself, no in the folder.
You can probably fix the art problem by clearing and reloading the iPod.

Album Art Problems Galore

So basically, I started having album art problems recently where the album art would appear correctly in my iTunes, but shows up on my iPod as a black square.
I was told to turn off album art and turn it back on, which helped, but then some of my album art just stopped showing up altogether (even though it's still visible in iTunes).
So I'm wondering what options I have? I was thinking about just completely wiping off all the album art and re-applying it; but #1, I don't know what the easiest way to wipe them off would be; #2, I don't know if re-doing all my album art will even fix the problem. With my luck, it'd have the same issue after I redid all my album art >.<

Not sure if this will be of any help but, if you're willing...
In itunes, convert the problem songs/albums' ID3 Tags to v2.3, even if they're already v2.3. (Right Click on song(s), on the menu that appears, "Convert ID3 Tags")
Then uncheck "Display Album Artwork on ipod", sync ipod. Then re-enable the "Display Album Artwork on ipod" again and sync it again.
Another possibility is that the artwork for those songs is, somehow, unpalatable with the ipod. If so, just get artwork from another source (amazon, wiki, etc.) on one or two songs (just to see if it works) and sync, see if it works then.
Don't know if these will work though. Good luck and keep us informed.

Album art problems!!

I just got two CDs - Todd Agnew's grace like rain and Casting Crown's Until the Whole World Hears. I downloaded the Cd's onto my computer, and it worked fine. Then i tried to get the album art. No album art came up. That happens with some CD's, so I'm used to that happening. The solution that always works is to go into Google Images and manually search up the artwork, than copy & paste it onto that allbum. I tried it, with multiple images, and it just comes up black, with both CD's. I like having the album art, what can I do to help this??

This is a problem since the iTunes 10.4.0 update and until it gets fixed (by another update) the work-round is to save the artwork onto your computer first. Then paste the copy on your computer into iTunes. I don't know why, but it works!

Cover flow into album art and how to control iTunes from another app.

Hi all 2 areas of concen, one is coverflow/ album art and the other is itunes controller:
I have searched but cannot find the answer to this:
1) I have some songs with album info already, and I used iTunes to get the album art for coverflow etc. ... some songs from the same album did not have the album category filled in, I go back and fill it in: now how do I get iTunes to recognize the album art so it shows up for the newly corrected songs?
2) In coverflow, iTunes picked the wrong album cover, can I manually fix it/pick the right one?
3) will coverflow only show album art for those albums recognized by iTunes, or will it use album art that I get from other sources and add manually? And what will show up in my ipod?
and lastly
4), is there anyway to control iTunes without switching apps (if I am working in Word or safari and want to skip a song, etc)...is there an overlay controller?
TIA

Copy the entire folder from one drive to the other, change the path that iTunes is using to access the library.

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.

ITunes 8.01 wont launch because of album art problem?

So I installed iTunes 8 on my mac (leopard) and it starts to build some new album art library. I guess there is a corrupted image which makes iTunes quit enexpectedly and somehow it relaunches itself; it keeps looping so crash, relaunch, crash, relaunch etc. Force quitting is impossible, I need to complete shutdown my mac so it stops.
Anyone seen a similar problem? Is there a way to remove the album art from your library? Also sometimes I see this: The app. Genredetection is quit unexpectedly. Anyone can help????

PS: I just found out: while looping I get a huge amount of processes called Generedetection in my activity monitor. When I kill all of these, and then kill iTunes process, the looping stops.

How can the album-art, which is all in iTunes , suddenly only shows partially on the iPod classic 160 gb?

I'm user of iTunes for years and in possession of 2 iPod classics.
For both iPods I have a specific playlist created, which I sync with iTunes. Each of my nearly 50,000 tracks in iTunes comes with the right Album-art (all 500 x 500 pixels and 72 dpi) andeach track contains also the necessary meta data and is converted to 160 or 192 kbps M4a. In Finder on my MacBook I can see that the M4a files all contain album-art, because the file icons show the album art for each file name! Also in the grid overview of iTunes you can see them all, no exception.
For years that went well. Now, a week ago, I made a new playlist (16,000 tracks) for one of my iPod classics because I wanted a different content! The old playlist I discarded and synchronized the new one. Now it appears that a large number of album-art on the iPod is not shown, nor in cover-flow nor during play-back. I then tried to get my new playlist updated by exported as XML and then imported into iTunes again. In that case all tracks from the list are checked for completeness against the library and after import it should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Still the album-art is not shown for all tracks/albums on the iPod.
I run iTunes (11.2.2 (3)) on a MacBook Pro at the end of 2009, with the latest OSX version (10.9.3) and with enough disk space and memory.
My iTunes library is on a NAS (Synodisk DS209J II plus) the iPods run on the latest sw version (1.1.2) and are both Apple formatted.
I wonder if this is an iPod error or something wrong with the library. I hope you will understand, that I do not want to lose all the metadata of the 50,000 tracks by rebuilding the library, especially things like: date added, number of times played, rating, comments!
I hope someone can provide me an acceptable solution.
With regards, Sign-X

I'm a bit confused, but I assume you want to shuffle your playlist while you are playing it in iTunes. If this is so, you will actually have to start playing a song before the shuffle button appears, and it appears in the top center panel of your iTunes window. Yeah, I know...

Can't get album art on ipod classic since iTunes 9

Hi there,
I have an 80GB iPod and since iTunes 9 i've had artwork issues.
On the first sync i did since iTunes 9 the artwork got mixed up on many songs (i.e. while playing one song it would show the album art for a different song on the ipod).
So I re-formatted the iPod and re-synched everything to it (which took hours since I have almost all 80GB used). Now there is no artwork at all on the iPod and I can't figure out how to get it back! I see no option anywhere saying to sync album art as well as music, and I swear I saw it in a previous iTunes.
The artwork is definitely in iTunes and definitely written into the ID3 tags of the songs so I'm not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
Thank you!

same experience here, looks like itunes 9 doesn't edit id3 tags for album artwork coz it has a separate cache or folders where artworks of the songs are stored. so when i play an mp3 in itunes it shows that it has an album artwork but it wont show up when i use to play the same file via wmp or winamp. as of now, the work around that i know of is to manually add the album artwork in ur ipod via itunes.

Album artwork problem--can anyone help?

I have a wierd thing happening with my album artwork. All of the artwork is correct in ITunes, and the artwork appears correct when I hold my Itouch lengthwise. However, when I hold my Itouch vertically (i.e. with the button at the bottom) the album art is messed up. For example, I have an U2 album that only displays the art correctly when I hold it side-to-side. Vertically, the album art is blank when I display the album, and when I play the songs I get a cut screen, top half of which is an old Christmas album I've deleted and the bottom of which is art for a television series that I purchased. What's the deal? Is there any way for me to get my album art displaying correctly?

I think I have found a solution. Although it is not 100% guarantee it will work, at least it helps keep my artwork stable.
For PC (I don't have a Mac), right click on the song(s) that causes you problem, convert ID3 tag to version 1.0 (back to basic, eh).
Then edit the tag (if necessary, and add artwork. If it is not fixed, repeat the process one more time.
The key is converting the ID3 tag to the most basic version.
