IPod Photo not displaying album artwork

My iPod Photo was displaying all of the album artwork until I created playlists. I created 6 playlists and then all of my artwork disappeared, including artwork from songs not in playlists. It still shows the artwork when the iPod is connected to my computer. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

IPod does not display album cover art

I recently updated to iTunes 9 and also bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I synced my old iPod color with my new Mac. Since then my iPod does not display the album art work anymore. I was looking through iTunes 9 for the option to display the artwork on the iPod because I remembered that setting from older versions but could not find it. Does iTunes 9 just asume my iPod can't display covers because it is a 4th gen even though it is the color version?

hi mduran, no i could not find any solution. My iPod (60gb, probably the same as yours) is filled to the top and has been before the iTunes update and then it worked fine. I think this is a bug in iTunes. It's interesting to see that this happens in the Mac and Windows version of iTunes. Is there any way of telling Apple about that so it will be in the next update?

IPod Touch not displaying album art in "now playing" view

I recently migrated my iTunes library from my iMac to my MacBook. I did not experience any problems with the migration, and did it over my wireless home network.
Since then, some of my album artwork will not show in the "now playing" view on my iPod touch, but they do show in cover flow and in iTunes. I have synced numerous times, but that has not solved my problem.
Help! This is driving me crazy!

I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
Problem solved!

ITunes will no longer display Album Artwork

I recenly had my computer cleand and afterwards iTunes will not display album artwork. The artwork is still on my iPod but not on my computer. It displays a messages "iTunes is unable to display album covers on this computer". It all worked fine before my computer was cleaned out. Any ideas?

when you open the sync option go to pictures and make sure all of them are checked

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.
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.

Where's the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference?

Everything seems to work fine with iTunes 9.0.1 and my iPod Classic 80G, except that it doesn't seem possible to remove album artwork from the iPod. I just read the article "[Viewing album artwork on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2317?viewlocale=en_US]" and I know that I just have to deselect the "Display album artwork on your iPod" preference in iTunes. The problem is that, after selecting my iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane, I can't find any such preference in the Music tab. I can see two radio buttons ("Entire music library" and "Selected playlists, artits, and genres") and one checkbox ("Include music videos"), but no "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
Any idea?

Since when has the left hand known what the right hand is doing in any organiszation.
Can you give a reference supporting your statement ?
From Apple? No. Plenty of threads in here though, both builds of iTunes 9 released for Mac & PC have been missing this feature and people have given feedback. This is either a policy change and it will remain that way or it was accidentally omitted during the redesign in which case it may reappear in a future build. Either way the control isn't magically missing from just your copy, it's the same for all of us.

Error When Trying to Re-check "Display Album Artwork"

Here's my issue, I have a 30 gb photo ipod and I added album artwork in iTunes to all of my music on my ipod. The artwork displays in iTunes, but does not show up on the iPod. When I go to iPod options in iTunes and uncheck, then recheck "Display album artwork on your iPod", I get "The iPod "(myname)" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I updated to the latest iPod software, using iPod Updater 2005-06-26 and I also have the latest iTunes software (4.9). I see other people with the same type of error, but nobody getting the same error number as me.

Wow. I sure am impressed with the amount of help available to the average new iPod user! I started using the iPod (60gb/using newest iTunes on XP) about one week ago, and have had about three problems - all of which were resolved without panic or hassle by simply browsing forums or checking the manual.
I thought it was pretty cool to be able to place the artwork on the 'Pod while the song is playing, so I started throwing the art from amazon.com (an invaluable resource for album art!) to the 'Pod. Wouldn't you believe it - nothing showed up! iTunes showed it - I could see it - but nothing on the 'Pod! I tried the "check and uncheck show album art icon," at which time I started getting the "Cannot update [my iPod] - Unknown error -50" error. A bit of searching and WHAMMO! The answer is upon me! Unload all the music, add the art to the songs in iTunes, and reload the songs! I'm sure it'll work like a charm (without a doubt!).
I usually have limited amounts of time to tinker with the 'Pod, so I'm glad things can be solved so quickly! I'm also glad I've only got 5.6gb of tunes on the 'Pod that I have to re-load! My heart goes out to those who have customized artist info/track listings, however... As well as those who have the full 60 filled... It's got to be terrible to get news that you've got to unload that fine piece of machinery (apparently you can't say "s*cker" or "su*ka"). I'll definitely be sure to make any modifications (aside from volume controls from song to song) in iTunes before loading the songs to the 'Pod!
Hurray!

Where's Display Album Artwork option? It's missing

I've read the document, I know where it's supposed to be...but it's not there.
My friend is having issues with her iPod Touch displaying incorrect artwork on her iPod, even though it shows correctly in iTunes. I told her to unsync the artwork then resync it. We connected her iPod, selected it under Devices, clicked on the Music tab....but the option to Display Album Artwork on iPod just isn't there.
Any ideas? She's running 7.5 on a G5.

There is no option for the ipod touch to not sync artwork, it just does, you can't turn it on or off. If you are having problems with artwork mismatched, the thing to do is to turn off music syncing all together, sync the ipod, so all the music is erased from it. Then turn music syncing back on and let it resync. Make sure you have your music still in itunes or backed up before you erase it from the ipod, it will erase it.

When I press - button, the photo Not Displayed!

Hi, when i stay on one photo and press the " - " button and i going to the next photo, the previous photo NOT DISPLAYED!
When i displayed all photo in the album?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!
The "-" button removes any star rating applied to the image and, to my surprise, will also change the rating to rejected! (x) The reason your image is disappearing is that by using the minus key you are rejecting the image. Use the 1-5 keys for stars, the 9 key to reject an image.
To see all of your rejected images select rejected images in your search window.

HT1296 is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...

is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...I have an Ipod Nano 4GB (yes it's old)

This is the iPod Touch forum.
Note that the artwork associated with your albums is probably less than 1% of the size of your media files themselves.

IPod Syncing Problem for Album Artwork

So everytime I try to sync my iPod Touch using iTunes,most of the artwork for my albums/songs changes. I've had this happen several times in the past. It seems that many albums take the artwork from one album.

When I try to check the "Display album artwork" box and update my ipod, I get this error message:
The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).

IPod doesn't show Album Artwork

There are several albums in my iTunes that have the artwork in iTunes, but the artwork doesn't show up on my new nano. I read on the apple website the following instructions on how to display album artwork, however when I get to STEP 2, the only option on the music tab for my iPod is "sync music". There is no "display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox. I have a 5th generation nano and there are some album artworks that DO show up on my nano...I just can't figure out how to get the rest of them...
For iTunes 7 or later
1. Select your iPod under the Devices section in the iTunes Source pane.
2. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
3. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
4. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

can anyone help me??

ITS not updating album artwork

I have tried multiple ways listed on multiple posts. Let me spell out as much detail as I can here.
iTS Podcast URL: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardstyle-team/id334802520
My podcast's album artwork has gone awry since they standard change to 1400x1400px for the artwork. I had made the recommended changes such as crearting a new file and referencing it, not overwriting my current file, but no luck. I have been reverted to the default artwork ever since.
After a month or so I had thought it may be the Wordpress plug-in I was using. BluBrry. Because now my feeds weren't updating. I tinkered around and re-installed BluBrry and Wordpress running all default recommended settings. My feed had finally updated, but not the album artwork. And for some reason my feed was only showing 9 episodes?
So I decided perhaps I'll dump everything on another domain and use Podcast Maker since it had a free 30 day trial.
I set 301's to my old feeds and included the iTunesNewUrl line.
http://hardstyleteam.us/feed/podcast/ is now http://podcast.hrdstyl.com
Feed displays as valid but there has been no change in my ITS listing.
This is frustrating when I am regularly ranking in the top 50 in the Netherlands Music Podcasts, but displaying a generic placeholder graphic with no episodes being updated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You!

iTunes is indeed using the feed at http://podcast.hrdstyl.com/ at least for subscribers. The episodes up to 36 show in the Store: episode 37 shows when subscribing but as it was only uploaded today it won't appear in the Store for a day or two.
You have an image correctly referenced in the feed: it should appear in the Store eventually but it can take a week or two for images to appear.
You have a 301 redirect in place: I don't know what the result will be if you remove it. Obviously the itunes:new-feed-url only works if the Store can read the old feed - that will move it permanently. However Apple do advise using both, and leaving both in place for two weeks, so presumably it will be OK.
