IPod Classic music artwork Displayed on TV????

Is there a way to display my iPod Classic music artwork to my TV like my Zune does?

You cannot drag and drop photos. Read your manual and you will quickly find out it mentions nothing. However in ITunes, click edit and preferences while your IPOD is connected. Click IPOD tab and you will see a photos tab. Designate where your photos are you want to snyc.

How to put my iPod classic music onto my iPad?

Hi I was wondering how to move my iPod classics music on to my new iPad. Thanks.

You will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes, you can't connect an iPod to an iPad for copying music. If you don't have the music on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy music purchased from iTunes from the iPod via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

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.

IPod Classic won't display artwork, delayed gap when playing songs

Hi there,
Recently I had my computer wiped and upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista (Ultimate) The music and iPod were both originally synced to the XP version, Upon reinstalling iTunes on my computer and placing the songs stored on my external hard-drive in my iTunes library and re-syncing my iPod Classic I have found that artwork will not display on the songs (it does display in the side view when browsing through albums though.) along with this whenever I choose a song to play on the iPod there is a long delay with the iPod loading and even just skipping a songs, which is even more annoying, Along with this when I sync my iPod or go to update it, it crashes iTunes
I have tried restoring my iPod countless times, I've enabled disc use, disabled disc use, browsed over and over at the settings and preferences, restored the iPod, reset it, reformatted the iPod, reinstalled iTunes, defraged the iPod (I know its not recommended) performed a disc check on the iPod (which there are apparently no errors) I originally believed it to be corrupted but went through the necessary steps to fix that, I'm at wits end with the thing, any help?
I'm pretty anal when it comes to my iPod being all organised so this is a massive bother to me lol.
Cheers for any help and suggestions,
Phil

Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

160gb ipod classic won't display album artwork...sometimes

I have a 160GB iPod Classic (version 2.0.4 PC), and ran into a strange problem regarding displaying album artwork. Here's what I can describe:
--> When browsing through albums, any albums that have been added to my iPod or had their info changed since a certain time (not sure of the exact date but I believe it to be July 2013) do not display artwork.
--> If these albums are played, one song from the album will not display artwork, but all the rest will. I can't detect any set pattern as to which song won't display artwork once I update it, but I'm sure there's some pattern.
--> All the album artwork is displayed on Cover Flow and on iTunes, but not in these places.
--> It doesn't matter whether I downloaded the artwork directly through iTunes (i.e. clicked "Get Album Artwork") or put in artwork from a file on my computer, this happens literally every single time.

My ipod classic 80G is displaying the error message "this accessory is not supported" when placed on my Altec Lansing dock

Ipod is 80G Classic and displaying no other unusal or faulty behaviour. In the couple of days between the dock working fine and the error message appearing, there were no software updates. The ipod is actually a couple of years older than the dock- what's going on?

So the iPod worked previously on this particular dock? Does Altec's support website state that it supports your particular model iPod Classic?
Have you tried a hard reset of the device with it still connected to the dock? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also check the dock connector on the iPod for any signs of debrisa and bent or corroded pins that could be blocking the connection between the dock and iPod.

Ipod classic music to Mac Book Air

I am a new owner of a Mac always used PC in the past, and have an Ipod classic from a ba-billion years ago (2006)
My old PC computer died.
My old itunes account was attached to an email that got hacked and I can no longer use.
When I try to log in to the account through apple it says my birthday is wrong. (I know when I was born) so I assume this has to do with my email being hacked.
I cannot get purchaced music off my ipod.
I also keep getting an error message everytime I try to transfer music from the "harddrive" option of the ipod classic to the new computer. I have music going back as far as 2002 on this ipod from several different computers, cds, etc. All paid for! Nothing stolen, but I cannot get it from my ipod to my new mac Its so frustrating because I didn't hack anything or steal anything and now it looks like I'm either going to never buy new music for my ipod or erase and start all over...
Any advice to keep all the music would be appreciated!
I never had any problems transfering from one computer to the other with a PC does apple do this on purpose? It really makes me wonder if I made the right choice if everything is going to be more difficult on my new Mac?

Also I cannot get the ipod to stay connected to my Mac for more than a min??
Everything about this switch is annoying and doesn't make sense. It's an apple product trying to work with another apple product so why is it so much trouble?

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.

IPod Classic Won't Display Notes or Contacts

After I installed iTunes 11.1.0.126, my notes and contacts don't display on my iPod Classic. I have the "enable disk use" option checked on iTunes. I have manually saved txt files saved to the Notes folder and vcf (vCard) files saved to the Contacts folder on my iPod. When I select "Notes" on my iPod, I get the display "No Notes" even though there are notes entered. Likewise, when I select "Contacts" on my iPod, I get the display "No Contacts".
Thanks for Responding,
George

I have discovered a bug in iTunes related to this issue. If you click on "Enable Disk Use" in the Summary tab in iTunes with your iPod Classic 160 connected, you can then manually add notes and contacts. Unfortunately, if you uncheck it and then sync your device, all of the manually added Notes and Contacts will disappear on your device. The only way you can make Notes and Contacts reappear is to use the restore function on the Summary tab in iTunes with your device connected. Of course if you do this it will erase everything on the device and you will have to start over again like it is new.
A word to the wise, if you ever check "Enable Disk Use" don't ever uncheck it.

Ipod classic music erased, with "iTunes cannot read contents of iPod"

I went to sync my ipod classic 120GB and before it began, a message popped up telling me that there was a problem with my devices and that they should be scanned and fixed. I went to scan and fix them, but it failed each time. It started syncing but then an error message came up saying, "iTunes cannot read contents of iPod, go to summary tab in iPod preferences and click restore to restore this iPod to factory settings. I took my ipod out of the usb cable and looked to see that my music had all been erased! I went to the preferences tab that it told me to go to and if I restore the iPod to factory settings then all my media will obviously be erased. I have tried a few times since then to re-sync it but it is coming up each time. I had previously had another iPod with this same iTunes account, but it was lost. I bought this new one about 7 months ago and I have had no problem syncing until now. I also had to get a new hard drive for my computer, but that was about a year ago and I illegally saved the music files from my itunes to my new hard drive so I could have all the old music from my ipod on the new one. Is there any way I can get my music back onto my iPod or do I really have to set my itunes back to factory settings and erase all my media?

I've got a brand new iPod Video 60Gb and i have had this message since the first time i synced it. I think i restored the iPod about 10 times but it's always crashing when i unlupg it. It try to listen to something, the musics are on the iPod but they aren't listed in playlists or under artists or songs.
Then i plug it to iTunes and i got the message: iTunes cannot read the content.
I've bought a Belkin card just for it, the one recommended for iPod USB 2.0. Doesn't change anything. I've tried different USB ports, again, nothing new.
I was just going to try using USB 1.0 but it's sooooooooooooo slow that it will take me like 12 hours to sync the iPod!
I don't know what to do now, as i can't find if it's a computer problem or an iPod problem...

IPod Classic Music deleted

So I have a old 80GB iPod Classic so i can look at the music on there going through my computer. i recently brought a MacBook Air and wanted to transfer the music from my iPod to my mac without syncing it as yet because a lot of my music is from old cd's and not considered a purchase so it wouldn't transfer over.
I tried through the way that i use to all the time and now my iPod is stating that there is no music on there but i go and have a look through my computer or the mac equivalent and it is still on there.
Is there a way that i can transfer my music off my iPod then restore it then add it all back on?
I have 11205 songs and have collected it from since i was 13 and i dont want to loose it.

Finder has a user preference to show hidden files? Couldn't find it. But that CNET article describes a method that seems to be your way (using a utility to show hidden files).
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-music-from-an-ipod-to-your-computer/
If you can't copy off the data using Finder, there is probably serious data corruption on the iPod's disk.
Have you tried doing a Repair Disk on the iPod's disk using Disk Utility, or a third-party utility (such as TechTool Pro). NOTE: It's possible for an attempt at repair to make things worse.

IPod classic music deleted while charging

i was listening to my iPod classic when it died due to not being charged. I plugged it into a dock to charge. When I took it off all the music pictures and videos were gone. Is there anyway to retrieve all that I lost??

Ipod classic music back to iTunes library?

I Lost my iTunes library that had my music uploaded from CD. I have downloaded iTunes again but it only has new purchased music. my ipod Classic has all the old music on it, how can I transfer the files to my new iTunes?

You can manually do it by first showing the hidden files, and then dragging them as a group to your machine.
I asked a similar Q, and got the same lame answer.
At least w/ iPads there is a backup option w/ iTunes ..
try RealPlayer on a Win7 machine
