ITunes iPod and pictures

Yes I know this question has been asked a MILLION times. The problem is it's been asked so many times that the answer seems to be hiding out there somewhere in the clutter. So now it's a million + 1.
Some of the songs that I've bought from iTunes don't show there pictures on my iPod. I can see the picture just fine in iTunes. It isn't for all songs I've purchased from iTunes either. Some of them work fine.

(I'll lose all my music right?)
That is correct. A restore wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
After all the music is safely in iTunes again, go ahead and restore the iPod to factory settings as it says.

  • HT4623 I was updating my iPhone 4 to 6.1 and it froze.  It has an iTunes logo and picture of a usb port on the screen.  It gave me the option to restore settings, which I don't want to do.  Now the phone is frozen.

    Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
    But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

  • My ipad won't boot up, shows itunes icon and picture of plug

    Please help.  ALl of a sudden my ipad2, which I turn it on - starts with the white apple and then switches to an iTUnes icon and a picbure of a white Apple charger plug (old iPhones/iIPad versi9on)  I can't get past it into the ipad itself.  what do I do?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE

    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note: Data will be lost

  • Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista

    I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
    when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)

    I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
    (serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

  • Updated itunes, ipod and now i have playlist issues.

    just upgraded to OS X (5.8). then upgraded ipod to os 4.2. then updated itunes to 10. now i am having interesting issues when i plug the ipod into the computer. of course, everything on the ipod music was wiped out. so i had to sync back all the music. but now i cannot make any playlists when i plug in the ipod. i can only make playlists in itunes on the computer. this is not right. i made several playlists on my ipod before. when i hit the file drop down menu, none of the playlist options are highlighted when i have the ipod selected. what has happened or what do i need to do???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help!  blue circle with itunes logo and picture of plug???  what is that? won't start

    just intstalled new update 8.1.3 system shut down and now will not restart.  Only give image of blue circle with music note and iTunes logo underneath with a plug leading to it?  what does that mean?

    It means something didn't go right during the update and your iPad is in Recovery mode. The same thing happened to me during the IOS 8.1 update. You need to connect it to iTunes on your computer, update it, and restore it from your iTunes or iCloud backup.  If like me you don't have a computer take your iPad to the Apple Store and they will help you with the Restore process.

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
    Note on Recovery Mode.
    You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
         Once you have Recovered your Device...
    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most Recent Backup...

  • Beware of IPOD and ITUNES (lame quicktime add on) java interaction!

    i just got an ipod a couple days ago and had to install itunes
    for it. the installation disc installs quicktime 6 with itunes
    whether you want to or not.
    Anyway, the next day i went to work with my laptop and
    none of my code would compile.
    Stupid quicktime changed my classpath and path.
    Not only that but im pretty sure it installed a jre on my
    computer which caused me a crazy headache when installing Ant.
    i had to uninstall the bogus jre to have my sdk work as the
    dfault java installation otherwise despite setting the %JAVA_HOME%
    variable to the right directory it kept looking in the jre (hence,
    no javac or tools.jar which is a big problem).
    Worse, i couldnt even delete the bogus C:\Program Files\Java\jre
    folder because some process was using it.
    I went to task manager and closed all the background itunes, ipod and quicktime
    mess and i was finally able to delete the folder.
    anyway just watch out.
    i posted my ant problem but then realized it was part of the
    previous ipod problem when i found QTtask or QTsomething
    in the shady jre.
    for shame apple, haha.

  • Can't put music on my Iphone after iTunes update and reinstalling my Windows 7 Ultimate

    If anyone can help with a suggestion what to do:
    - i reinstalled my PC to Windows 7 Ultimate and installed latest iTunes version.
    now I cannot drag and drop any music to my Iphone 4s in iTunes or make playlists to do the same.
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    " it says that I can only be synced with one computer."
    "It" is exactly correct. 
    " It says that I have to erase everything and sync with iTunes."
    Again, "it" is correct.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
    The itunes content and picture sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If you sync contacts to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well.

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • How do I view the songs on my iPod and how do I delete some songs and pictures that are on my iPod through the new iTunes

    I just bought an iPod off of a friend andher ex put alot of terrible music and pictures on it and I want to delete some music but I can't see what is on The iPod through the iTunes so I can erase music. So all I wanna know is how do I see and erase the stuff on my iPod using iTunes on my lab top

    If you have iTunes 11 on your laptop then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to connect the iPod and it should show on that left-hand sidebar, and underneath it should be a Music section e.g. similar to :
    Select that and the music should be shown on the right-hand side of iTunes, which you can then use to delete it.
    You should be able to remove all content from the iPod directly on it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings, as any apps etc that are on it will be tied to the previous owner's id - that will also remove any photos from the iPod
