How do I get the album art to display on the Ipod?

When I completed my first upload of songs to my ipod, the Ipod was displaying album art images. After my second upload of songs, I no longer have album art images. How can I get these images restored?

You can try your 5 R's, and make sure that you have the latest iPod updater and iTunes, that'd be my next suggestion.
Or, you can try:
-Go to iPod options (click iPod on the iTunes source list, click iPod icon on bottom right)
-Uncheck "Display Album Artwork"
-Update iPod
-Go back to iPod options
-Check "Display Album Artwork"
-Update iPod

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen. How do I fix this?

My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod. At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs. Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back. Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art. How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data? I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

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/delete 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.

I have had the same issues. It all started with iTunes 7.0. I have lost all track numbers as well, so now all my songs are in ABC order. It really *****!!
The only way I have been able to fix the artwork issue is to cut the artwork off of the file the re-paste it back on. (I have over 3,000 tracks, very time consuming) This has worked for most of the files but I am still coming across a few tracks that have the incorrect artwork on them.

How do I get toolbar bookmark items to display in the bookmarks toolbar instead of in the Bookmarks menu | Bookmarks toobar submenu?

When I add bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar, they don't appear on the bookmarks toolbar (duh...) but appear instead in the Bookmarks Toolbar submenu inside of the Bookmarks menu.
How do I get them to appear on the bookmarks toolbar itself?

You can check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox menu button > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

None of the Album Artwork is displaying in the iTunes store?

I opened Itunes to search for the new Michael Jackson song, and noticed that ALL of the album artwork in the iTunes store is not displaying. All of my music in my personal iTunes library is displaying artwork correctly. In the iTunes store, all the movies, TV shows, books etc. is displaying correctly, it's only the music album art that is screwed up. Anyone know what's going on here?

same here. just noticed it tonight (Tuesday May 6) 11pm EST

On my new 4S, how do I get my contact pic to display on the full screen when that contact calls? Now it displays as a thumbnail on the banner

Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen). I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do. I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc. This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone. Can someone help me to get this corrected? I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it. The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

How do I get a calendar to start displaying on the current month, instead of January?

I'm helping to develop a scheduling application, and we want the current calendar month to display first, with the 'Previous' and

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.

How can I load this album art? Artwork tab does not display.

If I place the cursor on one of the items in a compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get Info", I get this message: "Are you sure you want to edit info for multiple items?" If I click "Yes," nothing happens (I can't add the cover), and there is no "Artwork" tab at the top. The "Summary" page says "There is no album artwork" (greyed out).
If I place the cursor on one of the items in this compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get album artwork", I get a message saying Apple can't find it. But I placed the artwork for this particular album in my "Album Artwork" folder.
Any suggestions on how I can get the album art to display for this compilation? Thanks!

Are these wav files by any chance? These don't support a tagging system. iTunes can associate iTMS art with wav files when it's available/recognised, but as there is no tag the information cannot be embedded in the files so iTunes doesn't support adding art to wav files.

Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kelvin

Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

How to access links in album art in iTunes 11?

In particular podcasts often have links in their album art. Clicking on it while the album art was shown in the lower left corner of iTunes 7(?) through 10 send you to a website with more info about the podcast or the particular song playing (what was linked to was up to the podcast producer).
In the album art mini-player (the only way to see the album art in a reasonable size), the links are no longer active in iTunes 11.

This is actually not accurate. You do not have to switch to the Artists tab to view artwork. When in the Playlist tab, there is a "View" pull down in the upper right corner of the screen. Click on it and select "Artist List" to change the view (similar to the format of the Artists tab mind you) to view the track artwork.
Take note that the "artist list" on the left side is like a side anchored column browser but the artwork shown here is not for the current album in the playlist, just the first cover iTunes finds under each particular artist (like in the Artist tab). (And another goofy design decision IMHO, why show artwork here at all?). The actually album/track artwork is on the playlist side. You also can't enable the full column browser in this view as it's tied to the default "List" view.
I don't necessarily prefer this new approch but wanted to clarify for others.

Where is the album art?

Hello all,
I just bought an ipod and installed itunes. I imported my Windows Media library. However, the new itunes folders are all screwed up and there is not any album art. Tech support said there is nothing I can do. Well, besides reload and rip my cd's str8 in2 itunes. Problem is, I have 787. Is there anyway I can reorganize the folders and view the album art?
Thanks,

This has been answered a 1000 times.
There are several methods:
You can:
1. Load a JPEG or PNG picture of the albun art to the phone. Then select the Album in the music player then seletct Options-> Album Art then Options-> Change then select the picture file.
2. You can add the Album art in the MetaData. In WMP11 select the songs, then right click on them select "Advanced Tag Editor" Then select the Pictures Tab. Add the Picture (JPEG or PNG) and then set it as "Cover Front" and then select OK. Now transfer (not synch) the songs to the phone using Mass Storage.
Method 1 has the problem that the Album Art is tied in the phone only so if you delete the songs and load them again you will have to set the album art again.
Methid 2 has the problem that if you Sync using WMP then sometimes the songs are converted before the sync and this causes the Album Art to be deleted. This is a WMP11 problem, that's why if you want Album Art it's better to put it in the Metadata then use File Transfer and drag and drop to put the files to the memory card or mass memory.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer. Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files.
What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files. how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types? if so, how?

It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes. But that's a process.
Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.

How do I get the album art to display on the Ipod?
