Album artwork shows up right on itunes but not on ipod

I recently updated my album artwork and now, on itunes the album artwork is all correct, on my ipod while playing the music too, but when i click the center button twice to look at the album artwork in full screen mod it shows the same album artwork during every song...why?

If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try , it usually sorts out wrong artwork problems:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes (Right click on the iPod icon and choose Sync from the menu)
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

Problems with artwork displaying in iTunes but not on iPod screen

I have iTunes (7.6) and a 5th gen, 80GB, firmware 1.2.3 iPod.
Not infrequently, I find that a song's artwork is visible in iTunes, but not on the iPod itself. Sometimes the artwork is displayed simply as a black rectangle on the iPod.
The converse situation also sometimes happens - when album info is retrieved from the CDDB, sometimes album artwork is also retrieved - but this is not displayed in the iTunes software, only on the iPod.
And yes, the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox is selected in iTunes.
Does anyone have any more info about this?
Are there any restrictions on image file formats? Maximum size? Type? Interlaced or not?
Last time I asked this question I got zero response
It is an irritating problem, cos there's no way to check what the artwork looks like on the iPod without disconnecting it from my PC :/

OK to drag this thread back on topic:
I think the "sync" thing is irrelevant anyways.
What I tried in the end was viewing my iPod in iTunes,
navigating through to the check box for "display album artwork",
UNcheck it, and click apply.
At this point, iTunes said, with NO confirmation "Are you sure?" dialog, "DELETING ARTWORK ON iPOD" !! :-O I was not pleased
However I then re-selected the "display album artwork" box and clicked Apply. The process took about 10 minutes to complete.
When I then disconnected the iPod, the black squares were gone, and the artwork was NOT deleted (phew!) and was displaying correctly. I was pleased
The amount of "other" megabytes on the display in iTunes for my iPod's contents had shrunk.
I dunno what all this actually did - are the artwork files embedded in the MP4 files on the iPod? Or are they stored seperately and linked to them?
I'm wondering if the "black square" thing is caused by an MP4 having an embedded image, and there also being a conflicting image file elsewhere on the hard drive? But this is just guessing.

ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

Music appears in iTunes, but not on ipod touch itself

Hi. My son got a new ipod touch about 2 weeks ago. We've set it up to automatically sync a particular folder (so he doesn't have to get ALL the music on our iTunes).
Tonight we added a few songs to his folder in iTunes and synced the ipod. In iTunes, when we click on the ipod icon and check, the songs appear in his folder, so they appear to have been transferred. However, when we eject and look in the ipod itself, the songs do not appear to be there. What makes the weirder is that when we reconnect the ipod to the computer and click on its icon in iTunes, the songs appear to be there after all.
Any thoughts as to what's going on and how to fix it? I have done a hard reset and full restore on the ipod touch; no change. I have not yet atempted to simply manually add each song (that just occurred to me).
Thoughts?
Thanks, Paul

Okay, figured out how to get around this. I have restrictions set to "Clean" on the ipod touch. The songs in question are "Clean" versions of, I assume, otherwise explicit songs. However, the restrictions don't seem to recognize that and are blocking them. When I change the restrictions setting on the ipod touch to "Explicit", the songs are accessible on the device.
On the computer itself, I have parental restrictions in place to prevent "explicit" songs from being downloaded, and these "clean" versions passed that bar, but apparently not for the ipod software. What's with this inconsistency? Is this a glitch? To whom should I report it? Isn't part of the point of those sanitized versions that they should be playable on devices with parental restrictions set?

I have ipod classic. i do not have enough memeory capacity on my lap top to allow transfer of all my music. can i transfer my music to ipod without itunes, or transfer to ipod and then delete form itunes BUT NOT my ipod, then trnasfer more?

HI
I have IPOD classic, and want to transfer all my cd's on to my ipod. I have itunes but my laptop will not support all my music which i want to put on my ipod.
If i transfer music to itunes then sync to ipod - fine - but when i want to delete a cd to enable me to put another one on my laptop (due to memeory)
itunes then deletes it off my ipod.. AGHHHH. how can i get all my music on to my ipod? i cannt seem to get it to sync via windows media. any help?
please.

You could use Manually Manage your iPod, but the problem with that is that if your iPod ever needs to be Restored, the procedure will delete everything on the iPod and put back on what it can find in your iTunes Library. So you would lose anything not on the laptop. Also, when you buy yourself a replacement iPod, once again, you will lose whatever is not in the your iTunes Library.
Manually Manage means just that. You manually move media onto the iPod. So if you subsequently change anything about a piece of music, such as modifying an incorrectly spelt song title, you would have to remove that song from the iPod, make the change and then put that same (now modified) song back onto your iPod.
Song Play Counts cannot be used when Manually Managing an iPod, because it's the Sync process that updates that information.
An alternative to this, is buy yourself an external hard drive to plug into the laptop. If you buy one large enough to hold all your existing music and possible future purchases, you could then move your iTunes Library and all the Playlists and song counts (using the correct procedure, which exeprienced users on this forum can help you with) to that external drive and continue to use Sync. Then, all the content of your iPod would effectively be backed up.
Using an external drive does mean that you need to have the drive connected and ready to read before starting iTunes - every time. If not, iTunes will fail to find you music and instead look on the internal drive.

Trimmed podcasts play correctly in iTunes but not on ipod shuffle

There's some short podcasts from NPR that have commercials at both the beginning and end. They're almost as long as the main content. I've been able to use the "Batch Trim Start or Stop Time (Seconds)" script from Doug's Applescripts for Itunes website to trim 15-20 seconds off the start and stop times. It works when I play them in iTunes, the podcasts start and stop exactly where they're set. But if I sync these trimmed podcasts to my iPod Shuffle then either the start or end time is ignored, or the podcast just abruptly ends in the middle.
Any ideas what's happening?

Anyone know why the start and stop times aren't respected on the ipod but are in iTunes when using the batch trim script?

I have the same problem described by vickgeo1981. Just downloaded itunes 11.3.1.2 on new PC with windows 7. Accounts are now set up ok and itunes let me download my music and new podcasts to this pc. itunes told me I had to upgrade ipod nano software so I did that to 1.0.3 PC. itunes shows the ipod when connected. settings are to sync all Music and all podcasts. sync appears to work and itunes shows the ipad contains the songs, podcasts, and playlists. After disconnecting ipod from pc it shows no music and no podcasts. I have tried more than 1 usb port on my pc. I have restarted my ipod. I have restarted my pc. I have again reloaded my ipod software. No change in the result. sync appears to work. itunes shows the content on its window of the ipod but no content on the ipod itself.

Songs listed under same artist in iTunes, but not on iPod!?

I have six songs with Marilyn Manson in iTunes; four of them are from the "Lest We Forget"-album. For the other two, I do not have any album-information.
In iTunes, all six songs are listed under Marilyn Manson. On my iPod, however, when I browse to Marilyn Manson, only the four songs from the "Lest We Forget"-album are listed. The other two songs are missing when I browse by artist. However, when I browse by song, the two songs are there all right. And when I play the songs, Marilyn Manson is listed as the artist.
Anyone experienced anything similar? I know this could be the case if the name of the artist is spelled differently for the different songs, but this is not the case here. No exstra spaces in the artistname, exactly the same spelling for all six songs. Still, my iPod is not able to list all songs correctly under the same artist... Any solutions?
cheers,
pj

nope, there is no "all albums". I do not actually get to choose any albums at all; the iPod just goes directly from Marilyn Manson to display all four songs in the "Lest We Forget"-album. Just like when you just have one album for an artist and iPod just skips the "choose album"-screen.
Anyway, seems like this is a bug and has been discussed before:

Files showing up on iTunes, but not in iPod

So a few days back, my iPod acted up and restored itself, sort of. Well, my iPod synced itself and added the music files from my library. So now when I look at my iPod files through my iTunes, the files show up grey and i can't play them yet they're still showing up. when i go into my ipod to find them, they aren't in there at all. anybody know what's going on?

Typo correction on my topic post: I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new laptop.

Podcasts in itunes but not in ipod

Have recently moved my music to an external drive. When I open itunes now, it shows that my podcasts are there, and I can play them in itunes, but they are not syncing into my ipod, which is blank when I navigate to the podcasts submenu in the ipod itself.
Wish I understood. Need help!

With your iPod connected, select it in the left-hand side of iTunes and then click the Podcasts tab. Make sure it is set to sync the appropriate podcast episodes.

Album artwork shows in iTunes but not on ipod

Hello all, I have a 30g video ipod and am having trouble getting the album artwork to show up. In itunes I have clicked the show or hide album art button and when I click ipod in the source list and play the song I have loaded the album art onto I can see it in the bottom left. I have also clicked the options button and the display album art box is checked. The artwork still doesnt show on my ipod.
Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks,
Joe

Yes, it is safe. You're simply putting your iPod back to its original state as it was when new. To do this, you should have an 'iPod Software Updater' folder somewhere either in your Control Panel or simply on Drive C. I'm on a Mac and its in my applications folder.
Anyhow, when you find the folder, just open it up and you'll see your iPod update files. Choose the most recent one and double click. It will then give you the option to "restore" your iPod to its original state. Once you do this, your iPod will be completely erased and you can start from scratch.
I'm glad you got your images to appear once again. You can use the info above for future reference in case you need it.

I just synced by ipod touch and lost a lot of album artwork. It is still in itunes but not y ipod touch.
