Ipod shows black artwork while itunes shows correct picture

Hi! I've pasted the artwork to several whole albums on my ipod and itunes shows them correctly when i click on "Get Info" but when I eject the ipod - the ipod shows somehow just black covers; I've tried different artworks but for those several albums the artwork remains always black ...
What else can I do?
Thanx and greeting!
BF

Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
Cheers,
Patrick

How do i access this..? I seem to be going around in circles and getting nowhere fast.

Problems with iPod touch 5G - Artwork and TV shows don't show up

I've been having some problems with my recently acquired iPod touch 5G. When I change album art on iTunes for music or videos it either won't change the art on my iPod or no artwork will show up at all (just the default grey music note or TV).
When I change the Sort field to make my iPod sort albums chronologically instead of alphabetically, it will work until I've plugged my iPod into the computer a few times and then it will go back to sorting alphabetically (even though in the Get Info on iTunes it still says it's sorted by year).
Lastly, when I change a downloaded video from a Movie to a TV Show it will rarely show up in TV Shows on my iPod, the file can't even be found by searching.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Videos>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by each video
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ipod reorders tracks from what itunes shows

I put the NKJV Bible on my Ipod. The tracks are named 01Gen001,01Gen002,01Gen003, etc. It shows them in the correct order when I look at the files in itunes on my ipod. But when I unplug the ipod the tracks are arranged in a random order. Is there a simple fix for this problem other than renaming the 1152 tracks?

I have this exact same problem.. exactly.. and it breaks my balls. I am not OCD about songs, but it's nice to be able to put all the songs of one artist on, without whole albums being repeated with other albums missing songs like you said. I hope someone cleans this act up for us. Peace
UPDATE: I might have figured it out... randomly some songs in an album are marked as "part of compilation". It turns out this is messing everything up! when you untick it and add them back into your ipod.. ORDER IS RESTORED!! YES!!! i was losing sleep with this ****. x

Ipod duplicates an album, but itunes shows it only once.

Mi ipod touch has started to duplicate several albums, but my itunes only shows a single copy. The difference between the 2 albums is that one copy will have several tracks missing while the other will be complete. If I delete the one with missing tracks from the ipod it deletes those tracks from the other album, so I end up with just 2 or 3 tracks. I have tried deleting it in itunes and syncing the ipod and then re-adding the album to itunes. This is just a waste of time as it always re-syncs the ipod with both copies again. If anyone can help I would be greateful.

My iPod won't sync with iTunes, shows in the source pane but can't highlight it

Given an older iPod and downloaded songs last year, now iTunes won't recognize it. It shows in the source pane giving me the option to transfer purchased songs but won't allow me to pick sync. iTunes is version 11.0 while iPod is version 1.3 but I don't know how to update the iPod if iTunes won't recognize it.

Hi Truxtun,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
If the iPod has not been synced to the Dell computer before, you will most likely have to transfer the purchases to the computer and restore the iPod.

Cover Flow showing wrong artwork, Now Playing showing right!

I am going to lose my mind if I don't get this figured out.
I have several files in my iTunes that show the wrong artwork in the Cover Flow. They show the correct artwork in Now Playing, as well as when I go to Get Info. The correct artwork is there, and it is the only artwork there (i.e., there aren't two different images there).
What in the world am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? I thought at one point it had something to do with marking something as part of a compilation, but I've unmarked anything that was marked as such but it didn't help...
HELP!! Thanks....

At some level iTunes sorts & groups tracks on the basis of a bunch of fields, i.e. track no. disc no. album, artist, album artist, sort album, sort artist, sort album artist & the compilation flag. (I think that's all of them.) If you have a bunch of tracks with no album name and marked as a compilation it's probably a good bet to assume they are all part of the same album. In cover flow iTunes only shows one item of art for each album hence the effect you see.
To use the old maxim, +it's not a fault, it's a feature+.

Is it possible to manage 3-4 iPods from the same laptop? Each iPod owner needs their own iTunes account, correct?

I've used an iPod for many years, and now that my kids are old enough to enjoy their own, with their own music, I want to to buy each one their own shuffle. I just don't know if it's possible to manage all of these different music libraries from one computer. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Entirely possible. If you create a different Windows login for each user, then everyone will have a distinct library by default, located in:
C:\Users\user1/Music\iTunes
C:\Users\user2/Music\iTunes
etc.
In this scenario it is a good idea to disable fast user switching in iTunes, so that you can't have multiple users logged in and running iTunes at the same time. This is probably the best solution, especially as it provides the simplest upgrade path to the time when your children have their own computers. The only real downside here is that it is a little more difficult (and not automatic) to share music between the libraries.
You can also have multiple iTunes libraries under a single Windows login, though this is a little more awkward to set up and use - everyone will need to hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes and select his/her library based on the location of the appropriate iTunes database file.
Last option would be to have one Windows login, one iTunes library, and just use different playlists associated with each user's iPod.

I want to show an output to combine all medication records of one person into one, and I created a function.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION COMMEDICATION(p_subjectid IN immunodata.medication.subjectid%TYPE ) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
v_medication VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (SELECT THEDATE, MED_PAGENOTCOMPLETED, MEDICATION_NAME, MEDICATION_CLASSIFICATION, MEDICATION_DOSENUM, MEDICATION_DOSEMEASURE,MEDICATION_ROUTE,MEDICATION_FREQ,MEDICATION_BEGIN,MEDICATION_END,DATASOURCE,NOCHANGE FROM immunodata.medication WHERE subjectid = p_subjectid)
LOOP
IF v_medication IS NULL THEN
v_medication := c.THEDATE||' '||c.MED_PAGENOTCOMPLETED||' '||c.MEDICATION_NAME||' '||c.MEDICATION_CLASSIFICATION||' '||c.MEDICATION_DOSENUM||' '||c.MEDICATION_DOSEMEASURE||' '||c.MEDICATION_ROUTE||' '||c.MEDICATION_FREQ||' '||c.MEDICATION_BEGIN||' '||c.MEDICATION_END||' '||c.DATASOURCE||' '||c.NOCHANGE;

and I performed this selection statement:

It is exactly what I need， so I want to show all records in the tables.

It seems that one record could be shown, but multiple could not.
Is there anything wrong with my code or other things?
Thanks!
Qian

It seems that one record could be shown, but multiple could not.
Is there anything wrong with my code or other things?
It means that there is at least one subjectid in your table for which the value of v_medication in the function exceeds 1000 characters.
You may want to increase the size of v_medication to 4000, which would be the upper limit for the function's return value.

File Contents Package shows on server while file shows on workstation

I have created several DVD Studio Pro projects, one based on another. They are stored on a hard drive within the mini server which several computers have access too.
On the server (MacMini 10.6) one of those projects displays in Finder in the expanded "contents package" view. Viewed on a different computer on the network it shows the single dsjproj file. In other words on a connected computer all 3 projects are single files. On the server 1 of the 3 displays always in contents view - the other 2 are in the normal single file view. I might mention that these files are on the 2nd drive within the Mini which is shared, not the server drive.
My concern is backups to the server are always backing that one project up in its content view. Any help on this much appreciated.

VF04 shows 108 invoices, while simulation showed only 26 invoices

Goodmorning,
We invoiced a client and 108 invoices were created. But when simulating only 26 invoices were created. When looking to the VBRK there are 25 different ZUKRI variations (one different KUNRG explaining 26 instead of 25). The 108 invoices are 4 times the 25 different ZUKRI variations and one of 7 (5 'batches'). All the other split criteria are the same!
The special thing about it is that every 'batch' have there own ERZET (creation time)! Also in the VBFA every batch has his own creation time.
How is this possible?
With regards,
Frank Roels

HT1535 The iPod tab next to the iTunes store tab pictured is not shown on my computer.

I cant sync my music to my iPod anymore because it doesnt show up on the taskbar at the top.
Is this an iTunes 11 update change, or is it because of my Windows 8 computer, or is it the settings I have on my computer by default.

Why is my 3GS showing some incorrect album artwork when it is correct on computer?

When using my ipod on my 3GS I have noticed that I sometimes have the incorrect artwork displayed. For example I have 3 Nickelback albums which on my computer shows the correct artwork but on my iphone either doesn't show the artwork or is showing Elton John albums!!! Seems a bit of a strange glitch. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

I've always assumed those silly strings were recording the results of the gapless playback analysis but whatever they're for it would be better if they were stored in a spare field.
Windows Media Player/Windows Explorer may be less fussy on embedded artwork formats than iTunes or the media file might actually be missing the art but the Windows Explorer cache (Thumbs.db) still shows it. You say removing-reimporting doesn't help but I assume you can still paste new artwork in and have it remembered. If so you might want to use the following tool to at least take some of the effort out of searching out which tracks you need to repair.
*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/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg 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, 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 crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup
