IPod classic album artwork showing in iTunes no longer in Ipod

Hi everyone,
I have an iPod classic and until today, my album artwork always would show in iTunes and iPod Classic.  The artwork is now no longer showing in my iPod and the "get info" tab is not available for me in iTunes. 
I tried ticking off the artwork in my iPod, syncing, then ticking again the artwork and albums, then syncing again and still to no avail.  Please help, I would be grateful if someone could give me a solution

Restoring is the function in iTunes that wipes a device, reloads the firmware and then lets you put back content. Yes, it deletes the media from the device but that should all be in your library, which in turn should be backed up. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device and Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy if it isn't.

  • 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.

  • How do I add/copy songs from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic and copy playlist from iTunes 11 to my iPod? It was easy to do in earlier versions of iTunes, but now I can not figure out how to do it.

  • My ipod classic won't show in itunes after a restore

    My ipod classic would only show apple logo. So I restored it following the appe support instructions. Once this was done it said do not disconnect, ipod will appear in itunes. But it doesn"t and there is still the apple logo on the screen of the ipod.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    Be patient please.
    Your iPod hardisk filesystem need to be repaired
    Use DiskUtility, select your iPod, click First Aid and press Repair.
    However if you want to troubleshoot it yourself.
    To change from diskmode to normal mode.
    Disconnect the iPod from PC
    press Menu and Center button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
    This will bring you to Normal iPod mode, if your iPod harddisk and battery are good.
    If you hear clicking sounds, during the reset, your iPod hardisk is dying.
    Good Luck!

  • IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

    Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
    Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
    My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
    And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
    So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
    Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
    Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
    Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without 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/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant 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, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Album Artwork Showing in iTunes buy not on Apple TV

    I noticed that some of the Album artwork that shows in iTunes is not showing up when I go to that album in Apple TV. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    Dad,
    Have you tried the following:
    1. Open itunes and select a troublesome tune/movie.
    2. Choose file/show in Finder and note the location of the original file.
    3. Delete the tune/movie from your itunes list (not in the finder) choose 'remove' and 'keep files' when prompted
    4. Drag the original file from the Finder back to itunes.
    Does this help.

  • Why does the album artwork show in itunes but not on my iphone?

    When im in itunes all the artwork shows but when i sync it not all of the artwork comes up on my iphone.

    I guess I have successfully solved that. Somehow  predicted this problem's appearance and added a function of ID3 tags version conversion. Just convert all of your mp3 files' tags to version 2.4. worked for me, now bitrate gets downgraded and artwork is safe.
    p.s.: some of the artwork (especially files that originally were higher bitrate AAC converted to 128 kbit/s) won't show the artwork in the artist or album list at first. just play any of such songs and artwork will show up.

  • Ipod classic does not show in itunes or my computer. Can anyone help?

    I'm hoping someone can help me out.
    I've had my Ipod classic 80GB for about 5 years. Yesterday for the first time, I encountered a major problem. My Ipod does not appear in either Itunes or My computer when connected by USB to my laptop.
    The I pod just displays the message 'connected - eject before disconnecting'. Also my Itunes and internet explorer freezes while the I pod is connected.
    I've researched the problem online all day and still no solution. Have already reset the Ipod to factory settings, performed diagnostics both on i tunes and disk mode on the ipod itself. The latter displays the information 'Reallocs 0 and Pending Sectors 2, which from my research indicates that the disk drive on the ipod itself is still ok.
    Is there something I'm missing here? Or is it time to get a new Ipod classic?
    Would be extemely grateful for any advice.
    Thank you
    Dario

    - however once i reached the crutial stage of
    actually switching the 'terminal services' from
    disabled to manual, I get an error message on my
    computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the
    site gives any indication of what to do in such an
    eventuality.
    Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..

  • I had to reset my iPod classic after it froze, now iTunes wont recognize my iPod. It says its connected to my computer too. Help?

    I pulled my ipod off of my ihome to go upload some new music. Tried to turn it on, nothing. Tried and tried again and nothing would come up. Tried to charge it and nothing came up. So i reset it. The apple screen kept popping up and it would just stay there frozen. So I would try and try again and finally it asked for the language selection screen. I selected english and tried to connect it to my computer and the "eject before dicconecting" screen popped up but it wont show up in itunes. Everytime I unplug it it goes back to the apple screen? Any suggestions?

    Hello Jeanne
    If you are having issues with your iPod not showing up on your computer then check out the article below. What you need to figure out is if it does not show up at all or if it is just iTunes.

  • Album Artwork shows up in iTunes but not iPod

    I add album artwork through iTunes onto my iPod...the album artwork shows up at the side of iTunes but when i disconnect my iPod and check it there i doesn't show up :/
    and everything to do with album artwork is checked
    Can someone help me please

    hi! it worked for me when i first tried it. but now
    it doesnt...itz giving me an error (-50) i dont kno
    wat to do
    Windows XP  
    That happened to me too. The only way I could "fix" it was to restore my ipod, I've only just got mine a couple of days and I only had to re-load 3.5gb of mp3s but it was all I could think of.
    I have noticed that when you right click on a song in itunes and select the "get info" box to paste lyrics and artwork, when you click the next or previous buttons and then go back to the original location the lyrics or artwork entered is sometimes missing, it's like it just doesn't write the information to the file, you have to paste, hit next and previous a few times to swap between tracks to make sure the information is retained.

    Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?
