My findings -- Album art shown in iTunes 7 but not in iPod

Well, after several round of testings, here's my conclusion:
For song in iTunes library, i can change the album art and upload the song to iPod. The album art shows in iPod and stays...however if i decided to change the album art later for the same song by directly dragging the album art to song info box in iPod, the updated album art displays in iTunes BUT not in iPod, in fact NO ALBUM ART is displayed at all...even though how many times i check/uncheck the DISPLAY ALBUM ART box.
The only way to change the album art again is to drag the new album art to the song in my iTunes library and later drag that song again to iPod.
As a summary, it DOES NOT allow me to add or change any album art directy to songs stored in iPod. The only workaround is have the exact copies of songs stored in iTunes library and do auto sync.
For me this is totally not flexible as in order to save hard drive space, i believe most of us will store songs in Ipod and remove them from iTunes library (correct me if i am wrong). And all we can do is wait til the next release of firmware from Apple.........
Hello Apple, r u listening out there!?!?!
BTW, i am using iTunes 7 and iPod 5G 60GB 1.2 firmware.

phewww. Been going crazy, thinking i waas the only one with this problem. It was never a problem with 6.5.
and yes, we all dont save tracks in the media library. i have never even used it
So fix ASAP.

  • Album art displays in ITunes but not on iPod for some album

    Hi, I have setup album art on iTunes for my ipod, and in itunes all the art shows correctly.
    However the iPOD just displays album art for only some of the albums, not all...
    This is really frustrating Apple. How can I report or fix this problem?
    Thanks
    Simon

    I have THE EXACT same problem. Except, I added all album art by hand, to my ipod playlist after hand-selecting all 356 songs to my nano. Only to find that when I attempted to transfer the album art to my nano even after checking and unchecking the album art option, it does not work. Does anyone know if the album art needs to be added to itunes before songs are put onto the nano?

  • Album artwork shows in iTunes but not on ipod

    Hello all, I have a 30g video ipod and am having trouble getting the album artwork to show up. In itunes I have clicked the show or hide album art button and when I click ipod in the source list and play the song I have loaded the album art onto I can see it in the bottom left. I have also clicked the options button and the display album art box is checked. The artwork still doesnt show on my ipod.
    Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
    Thanks,

    Yes, it is safe. You're simply putting your iPod back to its original state as it was when new. To do this, you should have an 'iPod Software Updater' folder somewhere either in your Control Panel or simply on Drive C. I'm on a Mac and its in my applications folder.
    Anyhow, when you find the folder, just open it up and you'll see your iPod update files. Choose the most recent one and double click. It will then give you the option to "restore" your iPod to its original state. Once you do this, your iPod will be completely erased and you can start from scratch.
    I'm glad you got your images to appear once again. You can use the info above for future reference in case you need it.

  • Problems with artwork displaying in iTunes but not on iPod screen

    I have iTunes (7.6) and a 5th gen, 80GB, firmware 1.2.3 iPod.
    Not infrequently, I find that a song's artwork is visible in iTunes, but not on the iPod itself. Sometimes the artwork is displayed simply as a black rectangle on the iPod.
    The converse situation also sometimes happens - when album info is retrieved from the CDDB, sometimes album artwork is also retrieved - but this is not displayed in the iTunes software, only on the iPod.
    And yes, the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox is selected in iTunes.
    Does anyone have any more info about this?
    Are there any restrictions on image file formats? Maximum size? Type? Interlaced or not?
    Last time I asked this question I got zero response
    It is an irritating problem, cos there's no way to check what the artwork looks like on the iPod without disconnecting it from my PC :/

    OK to drag this thread back on topic:
    I think the "sync" thing is irrelevant anyways.
    What I tried in the end was viewing my iPod in iTunes,
    navigating through to the check box for "display album artwork",
    UNcheck it, and click apply.
    At this point, iTunes said, with NO confirmation "Are you sure?" dialog, "DELETING ARTWORK ON iPOD" !! :-O I was not pleased
    However I then re-selected the "display album artwork" box and clicked Apply. The process took about 10 minutes to complete.
    When I then disconnected the iPod, the black squares were gone, and the artwork was NOT deleted (phew!) and was displaying correctly. I was pleased
    The amount of "other" megabytes on the display in iTunes for my iPod's contents had shrunk.
    I dunno what all this actually did - are the artwork files embedded in the MP4 files on the iPod? Or are they stored seperately and linked to them?
    I'm wondering if the "black square" thing is caused by an MP4 having an embedded image, and there also being a conflicting image file elsewhere on the hard drive? But this is just guessing.

  • ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

    I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

    If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

  • Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

    hi
    like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
    they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
    i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
    should i do it one by one ?
    thanks.

    it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

  • Movie "Album Art" showing in iTunes but on on Apple TV

    I'm backing up my collection of DVDs onto my computer's hard drive so that I can have the library at the click of my Apple TV. The Apple TV is the brand new version. I added a bunch of movie covers via the Get Info > Artwork option and they are all showing up properly in iTunes.
    However, when I power up my Apple TV, its not showing up. Its showing like the first frame of the movie instead. Any idea how to remedy this? I rebooted both my computer and the AppleTV, left them off overnight, etc. Nothing seems to work.

    I gave that a shot but it didnt seem to do anything. Funny thing is I added a movie tonight along w/ the album art, etc. Same process I did as the others. The one I added tonight works fine but the ones from a few days ago dont.
    Not the end of the world, but I guess I like things to work and be uniform. If anyone else has encountered this let me know.

  • Album art in itunes but not on ipod

    Just updated to itunes 9.0.2 and when i tryed to sync my ipod itunes stopped responding so I killed it and ejected my ipod through windows. This seems to have damaged the music database because my ipod still had all the files on it but couldn't detect any of them. The next time i pluged my ipod in itunes reset it and copied all my media back onto my it. It now works fine except that no album art has been copied for music or movies. How do I get this working properly?!?!?!?

    The next time i pluged my ipod in itunes reset it and copied all my media back onto my it.
    Not sure what that means.
    Have you tried restoring the iPod?

  • Album Art works for most, but not all

    I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
    The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
    I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

    I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
    This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
    So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
    And decided to join my problem to this entry.

  • Album artwork appears in itunes but not ipod nano....please help

    some songs have album artwork (the ones i purchased from itunes and downloaded from cds) but the ones i got from my sister's computer with itunes will not show the album artwork even though it's in itunes.....please help if you can

    The same thing is happening with me. I don't know what to do. I have some album art on my ipod but most doesn't show up. I am so frusterated. I hope you figure it out.

  • Photo albums appear in iPhoto & iTunes, but NOT iPhone

    Shot a bunch of pics with the iPhone. Imported into iPhoto - those libraries synced with iTunes & now I have five albums that appear in iTunes.
    Selected "Sync photo from iTunes" & checked the "all photos and albums" radio button. Sync progress completes without errors.
    No albums appear on my iPhone.
    Just says "camera roll".
    Why won't the albums sync?

    Try the selected albums options, or the selected events options, and check all the boxes.
    Note that while pics taken on the phone go into the Camera Roll, pics synced from the computer go in the Photo Library.
    Do you have 'albums' or do you have 'events'? By default, iPhoto imports pics as events; albums are manually created in iPhoto. If you have synced 'all photos and albums' checked in iTunes and you have no albums, the photos should still show up in the Photo Library.
    After you sync, what shows up in your Photo Library (with the generic sunflower icon)?
    EDIT: Ok, you tried that. In the Photos app, do you have a Photo Library?
    Also, what version of the iPhone OS and what version of iTunes are you running?
    You might see something like this:

  • Songs listed under same artist in iTunes, but not on iPod!?

    I have six songs with Marilyn Manson in iTunes; four of them are from the "Lest We Forget"-album. For the other two, I do not have any album-information.
    In iTunes, all six songs are listed under Marilyn Manson. On my iPod, however, when I browse to Marilyn Manson, only the four songs from the "Lest We Forget"-album are listed. The other two songs are missing when I browse by artist. However, when I browse by song, the two songs are there all right. And when I play the songs, Marilyn Manson is listed as the artist.
    Anyone experienced anything similar? I know this could be the case if the name of the artist is spelled differently for the different songs, but this is not the case here. No exstra spaces in the artistname, exactly the same spelling for all six songs. Still, my iPod is not able to list all songs correctly under the same artist... Any solutions?
    cheers,
    pj

    nope, there is no "all albums". I do not actually get to choose any albums at all; the iPod just goes directly from Marilyn Manson to display all four songs in the "Lest We Forget"-album. Just like when you just have one album for an artist and iPod just skips the "choose album"-screen.
    Anyway, seems like this is a bug and has been discussed before:
