IPod Touch displaying only half-screen album art

Hey all,
I'm using an iTouch 1G, and I love it. Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, iTunes seems to have a problem putting the album art for songs onto my iPod Touch.
Here's an image of what it looks like:
The bottom half of the image is missing, and it does not appear at all when in coverflow mode.
There doesn't seem to be any specific pattern to the errors, either. This problem occurs with both tracks purchased from iTunes, (such as this image, specifically) and with other tracks that I rip from CDs, and even some that I import the image from.
When browsing some of the other topics related to this problem, many people suggested using a high res image for the album art, but I can assure you that I have 300x300 min for the art that I have downloaded, and even then, it doesn't explain why PURCHASED music has the same problem.
I'm just throwing this out here to see if anyone else is having this problem, and if anyone knows what to do to fix it?
Maybe its a bug in iTunes; by which case- Please be aware that this is a problem!
Thanks!
Tom

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Is the Album Artwork showing up correctly in iTunes? Are you using the latest iTunes Software on Windows & latest iPod Touch Update?

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

I have several albums by and an artist as is expected for a number of artists. But after the new iOs5 update my ipod touch now only showing one on my ipod.

Apple only may, because it was jailbroken, exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Contact Apple to see.

HT201263 after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen

after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen. I have done this several times. One time, the display went to the home screen, but immediately went back to the white screen when I plugged it into the charge cord. The music continued to play however. help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there any way to get an ipod to display only complete albums in the albums list?

is there any way to get an ipod to display only complete albums in the albums list (rather than every album represented by every song on the ipod)?

Sounds like there is some discrepancies in the tagging in iTunes. See this page for more information.

IPod touch displaying wrong thumbnails

guys,
My iPod touch has started to display the wrong album art thumbnails recently and I can't find anything on how to fix this. I routinely download podcasts and add my own music and videos to iTunes and in iTunes everything displays correctly. Once I sync my iPod to the computer it takes album art from music and transposes it with the video thumbnails and vice versa, sometimes I'll end up with a music file with album art that is the screen clip from a video pod cast and other such errors. Is there any way to correct this?

When did this start happening?
First, make sure your date/time are correct on the computer you're syncing with.
Next, you might try erasing the backup of your iPod and then resyncing your iPod. To do this go to Edit> Preferences> Devices. Select your iPod from the list and click Remove Backup. Close iTunes. Re-open it. Sync the iPod again. A new backup should be created.

Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen. How can I get this fixed.

Hi,
Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode. Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty? How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
Any info would be greatly helpful!
Lori Neumann

Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Select the Summary tab.
Select the Restore option.
When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Why is my ipod touch 4g only connecting at 54 mbps?

My ipod touch 4g has been slow here lately downloading apps and such. So I have an app that analyzes the wifi and it shows im only connecting at 54 mbps. I know the ipod touch 4g is able to connect to wireless n running at 150 mbps on the 2.4 ghz band. Why is it not using it? Is this why it's so slow? also my battery drains quick it seems. I just replaced my netgear wgr614 with a Belkin N600 DB for the dual band N now I know the ipod cant utilize the 300 mbps on the 5 ghz channel. I bought this router because the Ipad 2 needed it. My ipad 2 would cut out and drop signal in my bedroom now signal is great and stays great and it works on the 5 ghz channel. Long story short can't hook up no more tv's to my cable signal I have one tv and my cable modem on one splitter only one outlet in the whole apartment. I was told if I ran another tv it would kill the signal. So i figured get an Ipad 2 and use the Time warner app and watch live tv that way. It works like a charm now where as on my G router it would cut out and buffer a lot. I'm just trying to wonder why the Ipod touch 4g can't utilize the 150 mbps N 2.4 ghz band. Any ideas or anything I can do? I tried resetting network settings on the Ipod with no luck no change. My router is using WPA-2 PSK AES if that makes a difference. my internet is 10 meg with powerboost roadrunner. Also the wireless channels are on 1 and 6

The % battery is not accurate.
If a full charge only last 30 minutes after restoring to factory setting/new iPod that indicates a bad battery.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

My ipod touch recently cracked the screen is not very broken, I'm from Brazil and bought my ipod touch in Miami want to know where I can fix it there in the united states

my ipod touch recently cracked the screen is not very broken, I'm from Brazil and bought my ipod touch in Miami want to know where I can fix it there in the united states? And how much it would cost?

Apple will not take it as a trade-in for an upgrade to an iPad touch
The will take it for recycle only
Your best bet is to sell it on your own and then use those funds to get the new iPod.
