IPOD CLASSIC COVER ART // HELP

OK with the new itunes, ive organized all my album art, and on my itunes its all in order, but on my ipod, the bands have random album art from other bands..which it is not organized on my ipod like on my itunes. any ideas?!
HELP

and i tried to restore it but that didn't work
Why, what happened?
You could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
To exit forced disk mode, reset the iPod.

IPod Classic Album Art Issues

I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
Any thoughts?

What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

hello,
I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),

I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

Ipod classic album art work

Hello some of my albums in the coverflow on my ipod classic are in the wrong order for example the strokes, the doves and others are at the end of the coverflow in the ipod classic. please help me?

If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try , it can often sort 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.

IPod Classic Cover Flow

How can I get the cover flow on my iPod Classic to show albums only once in album artist order the same as it does in iTunes. Albums with a number of artist such as those by Jools Holland with a guest artists appear a number of times on my iPod. I want them to appear only once in cover flow like compilations.

You need to fill in one "album-artist“ (in „sort-by") for all titles of album.
That approach doesn't really work...

IPod Classic Cover Flow Customization

Cover flow on my ipod classic is arranged alphabetically by artist/album, can it be customized to be arranged in another way? Specifically I want to manually arrange my albums, based on new purchases (i suposse that means: date modified or date added, in computer terminology). I want to see the lastest album I bought first and continuing in that order. Thoughts?

I would just be happy if when in cover flow, it showed each album individually, and not the same album cover for each artist thats on the same album. Its very irritating that in itunes, its set correctly, but does not transpire to my ipod.

TS4223 In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible" and doesn't show them at all on my iPod classic. Please help!

In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible," and on my iPod Classic, won't show that I have any television shows. Can someone help, please?

kinmdchaney,
The solution to this thread should also fix your situation.
Here they are layed out for you. Try these in order until your issue is resolved:
1. Reset the Device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
2. Put the device in DFU mode:
Connect the device to iTunes
Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
3. Put the device into recovery mode:

Have you already tried these recommendations but to no avail?
4. Try draining your device and charge it back up for about 10 minutes or more, then try step 2 or 3 again.
I hope this helps you out.
Sincerely,

Itunes not recognizing ipod classic, windows does, help

I have an ipod classic that has not had new music installed on it for over a year. I have vista 64, vista recongnizes it itunes does not. I checked connection to itunes with my sons itouch and it works fine. I have done everything i can think of through apple support except buy support including uninstalling itunes, quicktime, etc.. and reinstalling, did not work. I installed itunes on a clean version of xp on another computer, with the same results. I have put ipod in disk mode, itunes still does not recognize it. what else is there to do? format ipod? will this help?
Thank You in advance, grandpa will be very please to have new music to listen to.

Hmmm. If no iTunes is recognising it, it might be worth trying a disk check on the iPod itself. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors:
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, can you get (at least) enough recognition to do a restore in iTunes?

I can't sync photos to my Ipod Classic...help?

I've just got a new Ipod Classic and I can sync songs and Podcasts OK, but I can't sync any photos. The "sync" symbol looks active when I'm sending the photos over, but when I check my Ipod later...nothing at all!!! It's driving me nuts...suggestions anyone?

I had the same Problem, very frustrating until you realize what it was. My simple fix was!
On your IPOD go to
Settings
Main Menu
Photos (probably set to off)
Turn ON
Should do it

IPod classic & New iTunes HELP

I just upgraded my iTunes today to the newest version, 11 and i plugged in my iPod classic as i always do every day to the computer to listen to music through iTunes. iTunes is only showing the music that was purchased through iTunes ex. 200 songs, and not acknowledging my whole iPod as it always does in the past. When I click on the top right tab for "my iPod" it does acknowledge that I do have more songs on my iPod example 500. Where are the rest of my songs? and is there a way I can go back to the older version of iTunes so I can listen to my whole iPod instead? Thanks!

I should've been more clear...it's not a monitor problem...i just can't get the software license agreement page to go away. After i check the box and click save and save it to my computer the screen won't change to the main page thing for my ipod so i can't even start syncing music until i can get that page to show up. I know how to sync my music once i get to that page, but i just don't know how many more times i have to save that stupid license agreement.

IPod Classic Car Connectivity Help....

Hi Folks,
I have a GM Trailblazer with the stock car stereo due to my OnStar Service.... What I would really like to do is connect my iPod up to the car directly via its AUX port on the stereo, but I however do not like my car to charge my electronic equipment... (The reasoning is due to the poor unfiltered energy that the Alternator generates, has often distroyed my Cell Phone batteries and others - not in this car specifically but overall due to the non standardized and clean format electricity produced by the car's engine)...
Therefore with that being said, has anyone had any luck with any CAR connectors which allow you to hook your iPod up to a GM vehicle with a OnStar type radio that doesn't require power?
Alternatively, I am looking for a SMALL FM transmitter to plug into the Classic so that I can transmit to the FM stereo... However, due to the awesome cradle I found by bracketron, I can not use the iTrip or TuneStik due to the extended length of the transmitter... DLO has the micro but again it plugs into the cigerrete lighter which I don't like, andthe iTrip Pocket will not work according to Griffin Technology because of the screen push technology that they need to implement to see the FM transmission frequency... This screen pusch technology was removed from the iPod Classics...
So with the above said, anyone have any advice for me?

and i tried to restore it but that didn't work

IPod Classic Cover Flow Issues

Hi Everyone.
Just got home with my new iPod. Synced it all up and i've noticed in the actual coverflow view on the iPod it's really messy. Loads of covers over and over again. They are mainly from the compilations. I've checked and i've put album artist to something uniform on those albums. But it hasn't helped at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
John

I posted this in another thread. It might solve your problem:
+I was able to sort coverflow by album by changing the artist names to the album name.+
+For example, my Rhino 70's box set has 7 discs and 150+ artists. It showed up on coverflow as 150+ album covers. A real drag.+
+I highlighted all of the songs in the set and opened the dialog box to change multiple song entries. From there I renamed the artist to "Rhino 70's Box Set", and cleared the multiple disc box. When I clicked OK I ended up with one album cover for the whole set. I entertained the idea of adding the artist names to each individual song so they would show up on playback, but that seemed way too anal for me+
+BTW, I did the same single disc designation for all of my box sets, consolidating all of the discs under one cover. Works for me.+

All of my audiobooks do not show up on my actual ipod classic...help

All of my audiobooks do not show up on my ipod all of the sudden......I have tried resetting and it does not help.

This is a small...."Bug" I guess you could call it, in the ipods software where if you have songs by one artist and none of them have a album listed with them, they do not show up under "Artist".
I forgot the exact workaround, but I think its something like if you give one song by the artist a album name (By rightclicking it in iTUnes, hitting get info and selecting the info tab) all the rest of the songs will now appear under artist on the ipod

IPod Classic Cover Flow Listing

My apologies up front, as I'm new to all this. I just got an iPos Classic and started using iTunes 9 to load it up. I have loaded hundreds of albums and enjoy the "Cover Flow" feature, but I'm baffled by the order. An album by various artists, e.g., "The Concert for New York City," shows up as artist "Adam Sandler," as he is the first artist on the album alphabetically. Every track on the album has got "Album Artist" set to "Various Artists," which is how I want it to show up on Cover Flow, instead of by tune artist. Any way to change this?

You'll also need to set *Part of a Complilation* to Yes. See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more info.
