Last ipod touch update messed up my album covers

The last Ipod touch update has messed up my album covers of songs I transfered from CD. a long time ago after purchasing my ipod I learnt how I could change the artwork from a boring musical note to the respected album covers the songs came from and this method no longer works.
Although I should share that method which was to basically click on the first song on the album (for example "Come Together" on Abbey Road) and then hold ctrl and hit the last song on the album (in Abbey Road case it is "Her Majesty") thus highlighting the all the songs on the album and then changing the artwork there. As stated this method no longer works, I've tryed about 3 times and although it fixed a few songs (about 6 out of the 150ish that were altered back to default after the update).
Is there anyway to change it because I have a mild OCD that makes me want to see the artwork upon it changing songs as I use my ipod on a daily basis.
Other infomation that may assist in answers:
-The album artwork does indeed show on the album list screen, just not on most songs upon playing them
-All the songs that the album artwork altered during the update were purchased by other means to Itunes and then transfered to itunes. (CDs in this particular case)
-There all albums apart of the Beatles Box Set that I was luckily gifted at christmas.
-The Ipod touch, I believe its the latest one, it has the two cameras on it, not sure I don't follow up with the "improved" versions of Apple products
-My itunes is running on a PC (masterrace) not Mac.
Thank you if you answered responsibily, and if you responded like a tool then I dislike you.

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
Can all download them someway?
thanks

The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

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?

How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

IPod Touch Update 1.1.1 - Unknown error occurred, Wiped my iPod

I attempted the iPod Touch Update 1.1.1. The software downloaded completely, then the progress dialog appeared that it was preparing my iPod for the update. After a lengthy delay I received an error dialog saying that an unknown error had occurred(1602).
After looking through my logs, the only relevant entry I can find is the following in iPodUpdater 3.log:
2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: device connected (isDFU = 0)
2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: error getting plugin interface for device: 0xe00002be
2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: an erorr occurred handling a connected device: 0x7d1
2007-09-27 18:06:56.000 iTunes[432:d03]: _AMRecoveryModeDeviceFinalize: 0x14caa540
This failure left that initial screen of the iPod plugin and iTunes symbol. I closed iTunes and relaunched it, as my iPod wasn't listed in the devices list. Upon relaunch, the iPod was detected but an error dialog appeared and said that my iPod was in a recovery state and had to be restored in order to work. So I restored my iPod and it updated it to 1.1.1.
I have done nothing special to my iPod, I've only had it for a few days, but this update wiped my iPod clean. This is absolutely unacceptable for an update and I am very disappointed in Apple for this. They claim they are keeping the platform locked so things like this don't occur, but clearly it isn't helping.

Mine upgraded from 1.1 flawlessly, but I was holding my breath...
So far, I have never had a glitch like the one described here on my Ipods, but have read similar stories everywhere. This happens on Pocket PC PDAs as well.
I've used my dubious firmware patching abilities to (as they say) brick a couple of things over the years, including a fairly nice Vaio. There was a time (after walking 10 miles through the snow, uphill both ways) that a failed firmware update meant that your computer was useful only as a doorstop if something went wrong.

New iPod Touch update deletes everything

When installing new iPod Touch update, all songs and photos were deleted. Restore from back up you say? I tried, and iTunes said it was backing everything up before it installed the update but when it didn't, This isn't really a question, but Apple needs to fix this for future updates.

The backup that iTunes makes does not include music, and other items like synced photos that are synced to the iPod. If these items are not on the computer/iTunes library on the computer on which the update was performed, the items will not be on the iPod after the update. The following lists what is included in the backup.

No since you can only sync with one computer.

Whenever I sync my iPod touch with my computer, several albums vanish.

Whenever I sync my ipod touch with my computer, several albums vanish from the ipod. Fortunately I have all my music saved to my computer, but this is still extremely irritating. The albums that vanish are always different. I have a 2nd generation itouch and a 2010 macbook pro with mac os x 10.6.7 and itunes 10. Please help!

You don't. You synch your iPod to your computer. There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod. You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

My new computer freezes in my iPod Touch update (3.1.3)

I was installing the new update for my 3rd generation ipod touch (update 3.1.3) and my computer that work with Windows 7 freezes. It was the new i7 processor that freezes and the only to debug my computher is to press the big button. After, I debug my iPod using the 2 buttons on my iPod pressing 10 seconds. When I plog my iPod on iTunes, it said that the ipod needs a restore and then install the update... but iTunes said that it was impossible. I think that iTunes said that it was the error 1604. Now, on my iPod screen, it said to plog my iPod to iTunes but my problem persist.
Thank you to help me with my problem.

Welcome to the discussions,
do you have any firewall or anti virus software active during the restore process? If yes, disable it and try again to restore. Also make sure that Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and active: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup. I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

What is the warranty for an iPod Touch? Is a cracked screen covered?

Cracked screens aren't cover by warranty sadly. That's why you need apple insurance to cover these devices. I've been through 4 iPhone 4's haha.

ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

Ugh. Here I go again.
I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates.
My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
(1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch. I managed to get that fixed.
(2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined." A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
(3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch. I have 600-800 albums. All of the artwork is correct on iTunes. About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch. (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
Does anyone have a more direct solution? Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs? (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
Any ideas? All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere. It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400. Weird.

Brand new iPod Touch, updated to iOS 4.2.1, WiFi no longer working

Bought my kids brand new 4G iPod Touches for Xmas, set them up and they worked fine. Last night, when I connected them to sync some new apps, iTunes prompted me to update the OS to 4.2.1, which I did. Now, the iPods can no longer connect to my Time Capsule. I have tried resetting the network settings, rebooting the iPod, even resetting my TC, and nothing seems to work. My Internet connection is fine, as all other computers in the house can get online just fine.
Any ideas or suggestions? This is really frustrating. Thanks!

I tried doing a restore on the iPod, twice. Once with a restore from backup, and then again as a new device. Still no WiFi. I'm really not happy about this. I'm almost certain it was the update to 4.2.1 that broke it.
Please help!!!
