Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First, update iTunes...
iTunes
Now, connect your iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Hit the iPod tab. Make sure that show album art is checked. If it is, then uncheck it. Hit ok. Now go back and recheck the option. Click ok.
If it still won't work, then do what I said above again, except this time let the iPod update, eject, and then disconnect it from the computer after you uncheck the option. Then reconnect the iPod and enable the option.

fifth generation Windows XP

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!!

ITunes got smarter about album art, why not the iPod Classic?

I'm a long time iTunes fan and noticed that iTunes USED to be "stupid" about album art where the user had to paste the art in multiple times (into every track) or it didn't display in cover flow properly. And, once you did this, then a synched iPod would also display the correct album art on every track instead of SOME of the tracks, which I saw it do...
But the latest versions of iTunes have noticed got "smarter" and I have seen it now where you only need to paste in one image, and iTunes displays it as needed AUTOMATICALLY on all other tracks on the same album.
This is obviously a step forward, especially if you have 5,000 tracks on your iPod!!
I just got a new iPod Classic and I have concluded after a lot of technical research and experimentation that it is still "dumb", and seems to need the album art pasted into every track STILL. It's annoying to me as a computer scientist that the same feature or benefit isn't there on both platforms.
I know this is a pretty advanced question compared to the normal iTunes user, but I was hoping that someone could point me to a better solution than having to paste up to 5,000 album arts into my iPod?
Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate any comments.

As a computer scientist I love your handle! Are you real? <jk>
I go way way way back with iTunes, I was using it to rip CD's, and as my primary music player on my desktops and laptops beginning in the 90s when it was Mac-only! Long before the iTunes Store even appeared, in fact. I don't actually have even one purchased iTunes store track, just have 5,000 ripped files from my own purchases. I also have edited the files I've imported, so my collection has only stuff I have pre-listened to and like personally, so I found Shuffle play to be a "100% win" and I use it exclusively on both my laptop and my iPod. It's a "100% win" because I stack the deck, to use an american expression.
I had a large CD collection of 500+ CDs so you can see I am a major music enthusiast. Unfortunately, I don't possess the CDs any more but I do have the electronic copies...
I loved how ITunes was time-optimized algorithmically to high efficiency in the ripping process (no doubt Steve Jobs guidance) and automatically looked up track names and artists on the Internet, and automatically managed the MP3s files too. It's competition (Winamp and WMP) still required you to manually manage everything. I also used the burn mp3 cd's function which made single-button burning of up to 12 hours of playlisted content a LOT.
So, that's why I do recall the early days when it was not as "smart" as it is now.
I visited your scripts page, a lot of very cool things there, but, if I understand correctly, Visual Basic doesn't work on OS X? That ***** MICROSOFT. Reminds me of when MS didn't support Apple clients on Exchange!
Any further suggestions?

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!

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).

Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
How do I prevent it?
Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
Thank You

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

ALBUM ART? I Need Help!

Okay, i know about when purchasing music off of iTunes you get the album artwork with the music. But I've noticed that when playing imported music on iTunes it says that you can drag album artwork to the little square. I tried this with google but the images didn't drag. How do you manually get album art to your music?!? All help is appreciated.

Capture your artwork using a tool like printkey. Save it as a jpg or jpeg in a folder. Now in ITUnes right click the song, then select "Get Info" then select the "Artwork Tab" then click the add button, dialog window pops up, then select or navigate to the artwork jpeg you saved. Double click the file, should now show up in window, Close out the window. You're done. Now update that song file in your IPOD.

ITunes Album art/possible meta data issue? Really need help

So ill try and break this down as simple as possible...
I moved all my music from my Windows PC to my brand new MacBook Pro. All the song info/album Art and everything matches just fine on my windows pc. However on my Mac when itunes downloads any artwork it puts in artwork from other albums and artists. When I click on the song up in the iTunes sidebar lists Artist/Songs from an entirely different album. I have tried fixing all Meta data and converted ID tags and matched everything perfectly to iTunes Store but it still things the artwork is for another artist and the sidebar diplays the same info. I have even cleared out my library and copied to an external and reimported but same issue. I dont want to sit here and fix every single artwork problem especially when the information to the album is literally word for word match in iTunes store.
My other fear is that if iTunes thinks some of my songs are completely different artists when iTunes Match rolls around my songs will not populate correctly?
Please any other ideas? Like I said the album meta data is 100% matched (Artist, Song, Genre, Year, tracks)

Need applescript to apply album art to daily ripped mp3 streams

My favorite radio show broadcasts on the web and so I save the daily shows to MP3 for playing on my ipod at a more convenient time. I have automator actions that rename, add ID3 info, and add the files to itunes, but I'd like to add album art as well. All searches thus far (including Doug's Applescript Site) have been fruitless for me. What I need is a simple applescript that I can add to my automator action that adds a jpg image to the new mp3 file. I'm an applescript idiot and have not been able to hack a solution. Can anyone help?

The freeware application Clutter heavily relies on scripts.
The application can search for artwork and transfer it to the correct tracks in iTunes.
You can find the scripts inside the Resources folder in the Contents folder of the package.
Since it is an open source application, you can use the scripts (or parts of it) without restrictions (certainly for personal use), if I'm correct.
Hope this helps.

Album art missing, HELP!

I recently synced my iphone 4s with ios6 with iTunes 10.7. I manually manage my music and videos. None of the album art is on my phone. Help! I see this has been an issue but can't find a fix that works! Anyone??

Since you manually manage your iPhone, you will need to remove the albums from the phone (i.e. the version without artwork) and then put those album back on.
When they are put back on to your phone, iTunes will put the version it finds in your Library, which now has the artwork in it.
