Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

ITunes Store does not show author and "album artwork" of my podcast

Although all information is available - the itunes store does not mention the author and "album artwork" of my podcast - if podcast is downloaded, album artwork is shown...
How can I add the informatin (especially that author is not "unknown" anymore)
http://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/nie-mehr-schuchtern-der-podcast/id404201576?i =88951302

For reference, you feed is at http://kontaktvoll.de/tinc?key=r5FOIixD
This is not a valid podcast feed for iTunes. It's missing the 'itunes declaration' in the second line. The top two lines of your feed should read as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
Without that, iTunes cannot read the 'itunes' tags which are necessary to carry some of the information, and which in any case are missing from your feed. The author name is carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and the image in the 'itunes:image' tag.
This page contains a basic sample feed so you can see what it should look like and how these tags are formed:
http://www.wilmut.org.uk/pc
If you are hand-writing this feed it's a good idea to put returns in after each closing tag, as in the sample. At the moment most of your feed is on one line and this makes it very difficult to read when looking for problems, particularly as you add more episodes.

Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?

Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?
The new Nanos shoot video. You'd think the Touch would.
I spent maybe 20 minutes reading Apple info pages, an iPod comparison page, and even quickly searched the User Guide, but saw nothing about shooting video anywhere.
Sure, it talked about video, but it wasn't clear to me if that was only for playback.
I guess I am missing it, or else it doesn't do it, which would be strange.
If it does, where is this info on the Apple Web site? That is, links to both video and photo shooting?
Thanks!

not yet....
most people expected a camera to be added to the iPod touch, but that announcement didn't arrive.

ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM

UPDATE on previous posting:
Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....

I NEED HELP! IPOD AND ALBUM ARTWORK ISSUES

I can use the music store and surf the internet fine. BUT, I try to use the ministore and with the new itunes, update mmy ipod and download album artowrk, it says itunes cannot connect, please make sure my connection is active. I tried the network diagnostics and it said network failed, but in the report, it says it connected to the music store. I dont understand, this shouldnt be because I can use the music store no problem. What is odd is on my other accounts on the computer, this issue doesnt exist. I dont recall changing any settings. Can someone help please?

You can get album artwork from various other sources as well as Amazon. You can even locate artwork using Google image search by using the artist or album name. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag

Showing Artist info and Album artwork on TV through AV cable

I just hooked up the iPod through an A/V cable to my TV and the videos / movies look great... I am trying to get some information on how I can get the artist info / album artwork to show through the same system. I am tired of looking at the iPod to tell artist / album when connected through the A/V cable.... Anyone know how this is done?

ITunes is randomly deleting ID3 tags track number data and album artwork

A few weeks ago iTunes 10.5.3.3 starting deleting the amount of tracks available for an album and its artwork when I would play a song. Thus "4 of 12" would go to just "4". And in some cases the artwork I've had for years and years (since iTunes 6) is disappearing for an entire album when only one song is played as well. There is no pattern or any discernable reasoning of what tracks its choosing to do this with. It's really disheartening when you factor in all the time and effort involved for nearly 10 years with making all of that data correct and adding customized artwork for 10,000+ songs for it to now just start disappearing randomly.
I suspect my iTunes database file is corrupt, however, how do you fix that without losing all of your Playlists, Artwork, etc.?
I've loved and had zero problems with this software until a few weeks ago. I'm a happy owner of multiple iPods for all this time and now this is disconcerting.

The missing total track count numbers strongly points to Windows Media Player. It has a nasty habit of "refreshing" the metadata when you didn't ask it to. This can happen even if you don't use the program as a rule as it may be launched in the background when viewing certain media content on the web. Next time iTunes has a reason to inspect the tag, e.g. during playback, it will reveal the new data from the tag. In essense the damages is already done but iTunes has yet to notice all of it.
For tips on getting WMP and iTunes to play nicely in future see this thread.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to compare your library with the contents of your media folders.
See this User Tip for a suggested backup strategy.

IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

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.

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.

5G and album artwork on AV reciever

Guys I have 5G 80Gb iPod and a Yamaha 3900 AV receiver with iPod dock.
When controlling the iPod in the Yamaha dock, its should display the album artwork on the connected plasma display - but it doesn't - it just says "loading" then nothing (plays music fine though)
My partners Gen2 iPod nano works fine. I've checked both using same tracks, new tracks etc - hers displays artwork mine doesn't. By elimination I believe the issue must lie with the iPod as we share the same iTunes library (and therefore MBP) and as hers works it wouldn't seem to be the Yamaha.
All updates are up to date with respect to all devices, software etc.
Both iPods are Mac formatted and seemingly same options selected. I've tried a full restore on mine with no success.
Any other tips?
Thanks

IPod 5G, iTunes 10.4, Album artwork, Vista

Hello there,
I own an iPod5G (60G), connect to a Vista PC (yes, I know) through iTunes 10.4. I tried to add albums artwork to show on the iPod, to no result.
Practically speaking, I have successfullyf added the artwork to the tags (through TagScanner), the artwork can be seen under iTune, but will not load to the iPod. I tried to locate the option "Display Album Artwork on this iPod" (or similar) on the Music tab of the iTunes window showing my ipod's option... there is no such option! When trying the same while connecting the ipd on my wife's Mac, iTunes shows the option (and by the way it is checked).
So... is there such a difference between iTunes under Vista and on a Mac ?
Is there a way to solve this issue (showing the album artwork on this iPod ?
Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks in advance for not helping through suggestions such as "switch to a Mac, migrate the library to your wife's Mac, are you sure you have artwork in the tags".
Gilbert

All,
OK, it works. I am not sure what made it work, may be going once through a iTunes Mac interface (or maybe I was doing something else wrong, or even maybe it worked all along but I did not notice).

IPod resetting automatically when loading album artwork

I purchased a 120GB iPod Classic this last Christmas, and with one month of usage I'm getting loads of trouble.
I've been recently syncing some songs, I have about 25GB of music, but from about two weeks my iPod is behaving erratically. I can't play more than five songs without my iPod suddenly resetting itself, displaying a horrible apple with only four colors at startup. I noticed this happens most when the disk is loading a new song, and the artwork is still displayed as a grey musical note. Somehow the disk fails loading, I hear a strange click and the iPod resets. Sometimes this happens at the middle of a song for some strange reason.
Has anyone got this problem? I figured it's a software or firmware failure since I've seen other posts explaining similar situations (songs skipping by itself, happened to me earlier as well)...
I can't play five songs without this happening... this is very annoying.
How can I solve this? Does anyone know?
Thanks

I think I found it!
I guess the album art database on my iPod was scrambled. I unchecked the 'Display Album Art on my iPod' option on iTunes (under Music) when syncing my iPod, and I noticed the orange section of the capacity bar displayed below was suddenly gone. I ejected and began using my iPod, and now I'm on the second hour of flawless playback and no skipping at all.
Later I'll try re-enabling the option, to see if iTunes can rebuild the album artwork database and see if that does it.

A 'mixtape' cd and album artwork

hello-
i'd like to make 'album artwork' for a music cd mix. I'll design the 'album' cover. What are the steps to take to have it in itunes and on someone's ipod. Is this possible?
thanks

Once you've created the art work open iTunes, select all the tracks from your mix, hit Apple/I and in the window that opens drag and drop your art work into the Artwork window. Then synch the iPod.

New 160 GB iPod messes up videos!

OK. I recently had to buy a new computer because my old one was well...old. I updated from Compaq to HP which means I went from Windows XP to Windows 7. I still have a 30 GB iPod which plays my videos wonderfully. No problems at all. Then I bought a 160 GB and my videos transferred to the newest iTunes available and my videos played but they had glitches where there were no glitches before. Like as if bad weather hit the video but there was no bad weather, you know? It plays perfectly in my old iPod but not in my new and improved? iPod. This really is making me mad because it works perfectly in my old one and in my new one it doesn't! The quality of the picture in the new one is great but there's the glitches that happens in a lot of videos and plus some are slow in places where they're not in the other one. These aren't Apple-related videos they are ripped off of YouTube but they played like a dream in the old one and are MPEG4 videos which are supported by iPods. If this can't be fixed I'm thinking of just buying another 30GB but I don't know if Windows 7 and the newest version of iTunes supports it! I have more gigs of video on my iPod than music so I'm obviously just looking for the video quality here! Please help!

Have same problem which should not be a big deal. I have a 80g and recently upgraded to a 160g. How do I transfer content from the 80 to the 160? Am surprised this matter is not addresses in basic operational info. Would think Apple wants to this to happen and would facilitate the upgrading. I need to buy a 3rd party application?
