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.

Some album artwork won't display on iPad

Hi guys,
Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
Any ideas?

Photocast messes up the picture order of the album and won't sync w/ iPod

I spent a lot of time organizing a couple of hundred pics in chronologic order and everything looks fine when viewed in iPhoto on my computer. Then I photocasted the pics to family and myself so I could view it on a different computer. Well, all the pics are in the wrong order on the Photocast. Plus, the album now won't sync with my iPod. I duplicated the album and then it would go to my iPod, however, all the pics are in the wrong order just like the Photocast.
I ended up unpublishing the album, deleting the messed up copy album and then everything was fine again on the iPod.
Any way to preserve the exact order of the pictures in the album and get it to still copy onto the iPod? Is this just a bug?

I got through to Apple tech support to a guy who was nice enough, but was clearly just searching the database to answer the question (like I already had on the Internet) and he didn't really understand my questions completely. Initially I got the feeling he was just going to tell me- sorry he couldn't answer my questions, until I asked him if he could please ask a supervisor or someone else.
Bottom line, photocasting will put your pictures in order by date and cannot be changed unless you manually change the date in the info section of iPhoto for each picture. So all the effort in rearranging pictures doesn't matter unless the dates are chronologic.
I have no intention of manually changing the dates of over 1,000 family pictures I have scanned into the computer over the last 5 years. Oh well, at least the real date is in the title of each picture I imported.
He said he couldn't find anything on why a photocasted album wouldn't sync with the iPod. So I said, "Did you ask anyone else?", then he put me on hold and said he would try and find out.
The answer to the 2nd question is that No-shared libraries/photocasted albums will not copy over the iPod. You would have to duplicate the album, but then you may lose any arranging you've done (again the pics will be ordered by date if by digital camera or date imported if scanned).
I now know that any scanned pictures will have to have manually changed dates. I am too lazy right now to go back and fix years of scanning and importing. I just won't use Photocasting for now and hopefully in the future there will some sort of Preference choice on how to sort the photos other than date.
Cheers

Album artwork doesn't sync

Hi,
A few weeks back I made a post about my Recently Added playlist not syncing in order to my iPhone and was assisted in solving the issue by ultimately removing the live sync selection. However, as of today, I have noticed that album artwork for all songs were I have manually added the album artwork does not sync with my iPhone. It is all there in the original playlist in iTunes and while all the songs sync perfectly in order with all the details I added manually, the album artwork doesn't.
Any ideas on how I can solve this WITHOUT manually pasting it to the playlist in the iPhone? Thx!

Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere. It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400. Weird.

Album Artwork won't show on iPod Touch

I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on my Windows Vista laptop and iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch. I have transferred some new albums to the iPod and the album artwork don't show on the iPod. It does show up in iTunes and if I look on my iPod through iTunes, I see the artwork when I "get info" but it won't show up on the iPod itself. Anyone out there having the same problem?

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Artwork won't sync.

Some artwork won't sync...

Some of my artwork I downloaded from iTunes won't sync to my iPod. I've tried updating it a lot but it still won't work. Does anyone have any ideas??

Does a reset help? Press and HOLD the "MENU" and middle buttons together for 10 seconds. It may take several attempts to work (this may not be your solution, however).
Have you tried doing this?:
1. Connect your iPod.
2. Click on its name in the left source panel of iTunes.
3. Under the "Music" tab, un-check "show album art on iPod".
4. Safely disconnect your iPod from iTuens, then unplug it.
5. Reconnect your iPod. This time, re-check "show album art on iPod", disconnect the iPod, and see if anything changes.
If these attempts don't work, you may want to try restoring your iPod. Read more about the restoring process in this Aupport article -> Restoring your iPod to Factory Settings
I hope that helps you.

Album artwork does not sync to iPod

I am hoping somebody has encountered the same and has a solution to the following issue:
I successfully had iTunes 7 automatically download the album artwork for most of the titles in my collection (i.e. those that appear in the iTunes music store). These were all ripped CDs, not purchased songs. I can see the album artwork in iTunes just fine.
However, when I sync my iPod, none of the art is transferred to my device. The only workaround seems to be making a change to the tags - forcing iTunes to recognize the files have changed. However in doing this, it seems my iPod is getting bloated by 1-2MB of artwork files per album. That seems like a lot. Furthermore, re-syncing all 40GB of music with tag changes will take a long time.
Does anybody have a solution as to why the auto-downloaded cover art is not automatically being transferred to my iPod, and in a space-efficient manner?
Thanks.
iTunes 7.0.1
Video iPod 60GB

I'm having the same problem, and the suggestions here didn't work (other posters have made similar suggestions). Not sure if it's relevant, but all my iPod artwork is manually entered via the "Get Info" function. I didn't have this problem before iTunes 7.

Artist name/album artwork won't change on my ipod 4g

After I change the artist names and album artwork on itunes and then press "sync", they should be changed right away on my ipod, right? THEY DO NOT GET CHANGED. does this syncing problem (or a slow reaction prob) only occuring to me? I called the customer service today and they simply told me to restore it. I tried restoring my ipod more than three times because of this. Is there any solution to this? Should I go and get a replacement to apple store? I own a new ipod 4g white with ipos 5.0.1.

i called them again and they told me if I want to change the album artwork + names of the songs that are already in the ipod (under device>music), I have to DELETE those songs. After that, I have to go to library>music and then change the settings there and then ADD THEM BACK to my ipod. I thought it's simply stupid and inconvenient.

Album artwork won't display on my Nano

I tired everything, enabling the "display album artwork" from itunes. changing the size of the images, renaming them, etc.. but nothing worked! Any advise?

I posted in a similar thread about a problem I noticed. If you sync your songs without having "display album artwork" selected and then later select it, the artwork does not get moved over. I had to remove the songs and reload them to get the artwork displayed. Hope this helps!

Itunes not showing elements 11 drop down list of albums and won't sync, says ïtunes cannot sync, required folder cannot be found. ï have tried re installing both but no success. pls help!!!

Hi, Itunes won't sync my photos to ipad from elements 11. itunes doesn't show drop down list of albums and says Ipad "......cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found" i have tried re installing both programs but no luck. pls help!!!

I managed to finally fix the problem in a relatively painless way. It turned out that the problem wasn't on my phone, the problem was with iTunes. I completely uninstalled iTunes from my PC and then reinstalled it and everything was fine.
In order to completely uninstall iTunes, I did two things:
Used RevoUninstaller to uninstall iTunes. This cleans out a bunch of extra things that the normal iTunes uninstaller misses.
Searched for any iTunes folders/files on my computer (using the freeware utility called Everything) and deleted them manually.
I hope that works for you.

Get Album Artwork won't work

Does anyone have any tips on how to get this feature to ever work right?
I recently just bought Hot Sauce Committee Part Two by Beastie Boys on CD. I import the CD into iTunes. Then i shift click on all the songs and right click and go to 'Get Album Artwork' and it tells me 'Could Not Get Album Artwork For Some Albums'
I have no idea what to do. When i imported the CD it imported it with the same exact spelling and spacing for the artist name and album title on itunes. But it acts like iTunes has never heard of this album. I can't update my Genius thing to be able to generate a genius playlist using any song from this CD either.
It's almost like iTunes won't accept or acknowledge any music that was not bought through the iTunes store.
please, does anyone have any clue on how to get itunes to act like this cd exists so i can make itunes get album artwork for it and allow it to be used for genius playlists?

iTunes will only place artwork for albums that are offered in the iTunes Store. Be it the song lengths or order or who knows what, it doesn't see it as matching.
This will have no effect on Genius Playlists. I have songs without album info or cover in my Genius results.
You can manually add the cover yourself from a pic/jpg/png instructions are here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1409

Embedded Art Shows Fine - "Get Album Artwork" Won't Transfer

I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.11, and iPod Classic v1.1.1, and I'm having a problem:
Any artwork that I retrieved using iTunes' "Get Album Artwork" option DOES NOT show up on my iPod. All the artwork I manually retrieved from Google (copy & pasted) shows fine.
I'm told that copying and pasting artwork embeds the image file right into the mp3 file itself. The artwork that iTunes retrieves is NOT stored in each mp3 file, but rather in its own separate database. Somehow that database doesn't seem to be transferring to the iPod.
Anyone else having this problem? Any way to let Apple know directly?

*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without embedded artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box. This should also let you embed iTMS downloaded artwork.
I don't know how well these tools work with a manually-managed iPod since I maintain my full library on an external drive & sync from that.
