IPod froze up reset but then lost all album artwork

iPod 2nd gen froze, was able to reset by following the user manual instructions but when it rebooted all album artwork was lost. If I want to see the album artwork do I need to delete current library and then reimport? Don't want to duplicate the library.

  • Since updating to latest version of iTunes Ive lost all Album Artwork.

    Hello,since recruiting the latest itunes I have lost all Album Artwork.

  • Lost all album artwork, help please...

    I own an older 5th Gen. 60GB Ipod Video player and recently updated to the newest software version (1.2) and newest version of iTunes (version 7.00.70). For the last couple of CD's that I ripped onto my Ipod the album art wasn't showing up on my Ipod screen but would display on iTunes. So I searched the forums and found a solution to go to the music tab on iTunes (located under devices- click on your Ipod name and then select the "music" tab) and uncheck the last checkbox to "display album artwork on your iPod" and then click the "Apply" button and wait for iTunes to finish updating your iPod. Repeat this procedure by now checking the "display album artwork on your iPod" and then clicking the "Apply" button and again waiting for iTunes to update your iPod.
    Well, that solution failed miserably for me because it apparently erased or removed all of the album artwork that I had searched for and added manually to my iPod (without software). Now it is only displaying the text for each CD that I have for all 5,000+ songs. The strange thing is that when I click on a song that is on my Ipod (in iTunes when my Ipod is connected to my computer) the album art displays in iTunes just fine.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

    thank you

    The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?

    I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.

    1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
    2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
    3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
    You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

    Hi Brennahunt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If the steps in the article above do not solve the issue, completely remove and reinstall iTunes using the method in this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    This process should not affect any music or content on your computer, but you may want to
    back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    When reinstalling iTunes (step 3 in the article above), be sure that you are logged in to your computer as an Administrator:
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes or QuickTime, you need to log in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure you have an administrator account, you may find this Microsoft article helpful: Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?You can refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

  • Updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and then lost all my apps. how can I restore them?

    As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content back to your iPhone - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
