My ipod is showing the album art but doesnt play music or plays other music?

yea i just noticed today, my music was working completely fine before, and the only problem with music is one album. Its survival Story by Flobots. When i play the songs either one, they go to other songs on the playlist than the album and keep the art work, or if its just the album then it does nothing. Plz someone, help!

wait... i just had to redownload the music from the itunes store -_-

Does anyone know of an iTunes 11 plugin that shows the album art preview of the selected track in the bottom left?

In previous versions of iTunes, there was a little box at the lower left side of the screen that displayed the album artwork of whatever track you had selected (or whatever track was playing, depending on your settings).
I really miss this feature, as many others do. I have considered downgrading to 10.7, but my iPhone 5 is running 6.1 and I don't think the two will work together..(any way around this?)
I really don't know much about iTunes plugins, but could they be a possible solution to this problem?
Does anyone know of one (or could anyone write one) that could help me and many others get that album art preview back?
Thanks!

Welcome to AD!
I have a regular post for the top 3 or 4 fixes for that 9808 error. Obviously you are going to skip #1, since you've already tried it. Let me know how you get on with the next 2.
The top 3 fixes to itunes error 9808 seem to be
1) Go to Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced, make sure that SSL 3.0 is checked and TLS 1.0 is checked. Also under Security make sure that the “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” is unchecked. Then click ok and fire up iTunes.
2) The culprit was Norton. The users are set up as Admin and Standard. I have Parental Controls turned on in both Vista as well as Norton. Admin users had no problems connecting to iTunes. Standard users would get the error. I had to go to Norton’s Personal Firewall and add the program “iTunes Helper.exe” and set the option to “Allowed” (”iTunes.exe should already be in the Allowed category.) in order for the standard users to be able to connect.
3) close iTunes if you have it open right now. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes. Delete or cut the preferences.xml file which contains your iTunes preferences. Then go to C:/Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes and delete or move the preferences.xml file. For Mac users, there is only one file you must delete or move a to a new location and is located at User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.itunes.plist. Restart iTunes and it will recreate those two (or one) files with the default settings. Feel free to set your preferences back to what they were and then connect to the iTunes store and enjoy!
And #4, see if you can get into the iTS from a different windows admin account on the same PC.

IPod scrambles the album art & doesn't play music, vids or pics

i bought this ipod brand new about a month ago from apple. It has messed up three times since. What happens is that it just stops working. I can't view any pics, video or listen to music. my cover flow turns each album cover to rondom colors all scrambled up. At the main menue when i go over pics, music or video it shows me the picture. but it won't play anything. When i reset it and put everything back on it it works......for a week or two. I think i will return it but if there is anything i could otherwise do please say so
thanks!!!!!!!!

I cannot see my photos in iphoto when I open it...it just shows the albums/titles but only an exclamation mark when I click on the picture. How can I fix this please?

I have downloaded some photos and all I see now is a black sqaure with an exclamation mark in it. If I double click and make them full screen I can see them, but not as thumbnails. Please help :-( In the EVENTS, they are just black sqaures.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT201263 My iPod Touch shows the Apple logo but does not respond to holding the home and lock buttons or being plugged in. iTunes does not recognize it either

I plugged my iPod into my computer to retore it and proceeded to do so as told. The only thing that happened after that was that the Apple logo keeps showing up and nothing else. My computer/iTunes no longer recognizes my iPod either.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch not displaying album art in "now playing" view

I recently migrated my iTunes library from my iMac to my MacBook. I did not experience any problems with the migration, and did it over my wireless home network.
Since then, some of my album artwork will not show in the "now playing" view on my iPod touch, but they do show in cover flow and in iTunes. I have synced numerous times, but that has not solved my problem.
Help! This is driving me crazy!

I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
Problem solved!

How can the album-art, which is all in iTunes , suddenly only shows partially on the iPod classic 160 gb?

I'm user of iTunes for years and in possession of 2 iPod classics.
For both iPods I have a specific playlist created, which I sync with iTunes. Each of my nearly 50,000 tracks in iTunes comes with the right Album-art (all 500 x 500 pixels and 72 dpi) andeach track contains also the necessary meta data and is converted to 160 or 192 kbps M4a. In Finder on my MacBook I can see that the M4a files all contain album-art, because the file icons show the album art for each file name! Also in the grid overview of iTunes you can see them all, no exception.
For years that went well. Now, a week ago, I made a new playlist (16,000 tracks) for one of my iPod classics because I wanted a different content! The old playlist I discarded and synchronized the new one. Now it appears that a large number of album-art on the iPod is not shown, nor in cover-flow nor during play-back. I then tried to get my new playlist updated by exported as XML and then imported into iTunes again. In that case all tracks from the list are checked for completeness against the library and after import it should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Still the album-art is not shown for all tracks/albums on the iPod.
I run iTunes (11.2.2 (3)) on a MacBook Pro at the end of 2009, with the latest OSX version (10.9.3) and with enough disk space and memory.
My iTunes library is on a NAS (Synodisk DS209J II plus) the iPods run on the latest sw version (1.1.2) and are both Apple formatted.
I wonder if this is an iPod error or something wrong with the library. I hope you will understand, that I do not want to lose all the metadata of the 50,000 tracks by rebuilding the library, especially things like: date added, number of times played, rating, comments!
I hope someone can provide me an acceptable solution.
With regards, Sign-X

I'm a bit confused, but I assume you want to shuffle your playlist while you are playing it in iTunes. If this is so, you will actually have to start playing a song before the shuffle button appears, and it appears in the top center panel of your iTunes window. Yeah, I know...

About a month ago, most of the Album art on my iPod just up and disappeared.

So, about a month ago, for no apparent reason at all, almost all of the album art on all of the music on my iPod just disappeared and was replaced by the default white art. It even happened to most of my purchased music! As time passed, some of it gradually re-appeared, which is really weird, but most of it is still gone. I have 174 albums on my ipod and about only 1/4 of them have art. Before this problem happened, almost every single album had art. I meticulously spend HOURS adding really nice album art to the music on my iPod, and then this happens.
I'm genuinely quite upset. I use my iPod a LOT and have put a lot of money into Apple. A problem like this should not be happening. I'm actually very tech-savvy (going to be getting a CS degree) but this problem baffles me at every turn and it's extremely frustrating.
So, last night, I tried to fix the problem again. I made an album in my music folder and added the proper information to each song, with an album cover (500X500 - all of my album art is 500X500) in the folder where the songs reside. I then plug my iPod in and open iTunes. I then go into file and add the album to my iTunes library, and then I go to the songs and add the album cover to their information via the "add artwork" submenu of the get info on the songs. I then sync the songs to my iPod normally, and the album art shows up on them. Great. Wonderful.
I then think, "Oh, maybe I can fix all of my OTHER album art manually!".
So I go to my artists on my iPod and find an album titled Asteroid (it's a song by Rameses B) which doesn't have a cover but should. I deleted it off of my iPod. I then plugged my iPod back into my computer and tried to re-sync the song Asteroid back onto my iPod but nothing happened. It WOULD NOT, and I mean WOULD NOT sync that **** song to my iPod. It just sat there like I never did anything at all. My method of syncing is that I find the song and drag-drop it to the iPod menu on the right side of my screen.
So then I kind of gave up for the night. It was midnight and I was done with this **** after trying to get that song to sync for at least 20 minutes.
So I eject the iPod from my computer (SAFELY) and close iTunes normally, bla bla bla, go to sleep.
I get up this morning and go to my music app and ALL OF MY ALBUM ART ON EVERYTHING IS GONE. *POOF*, gone. Including the songs that I'd synced last night! What the ****! How does that even happen?!
Some more information:
I'm running Windows 7 with a fully updated iTunes. My iPod is fully updated as well. As in iOS 7.1.0, non-Beta. It's an iPod touch 5th generation.
So, my question is, how the heck do I get my album art back on my darn iPod?! I have tried manually re-syncing individual songs after deleting them off of my iPod and they won't re-sync. I have also tried re-syncing my entire music library to my iPod, and the result was the same as before. Most of the album art didn't transfer to the iPod.
I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I'm at the very verge of jailbreaking this thing and iFunbox-ing all of my album art over to it forcefully. If Apple can't fix my problem, I will. I'm at that point right now.
Please help.
Thank you so much in advance.

Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.

I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.

You are not alone. 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 music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.

Can you vary the Album Art Size on the iPod?

I would like to know if you can change the size of the album art. It currently shows a small picture of the album. I would like to have the album cover most of the screen. Please advise.

While a song is playing, click the select (center) button twice.
This should display the album art full-screen.
Cheers!

Why is the album art from our iTunesU site not downloading with the content?

Recently, the album art from our iTunes U site has not been downloading with the content. We have tried downloading content from other pages and we get the album art, but when we download out own content the album art does not download with the files. The art appears in the iTunes store so there should not be a problem with the files. Any idea why this is happening? Here is the link to the iTunes U page for your information.http://itunes.apple.com/gb/institution/university-of-london/id422825754

Incorrect album art on iPhone even when I try to manually correct the album art in iTunes.

I recently replaced my iPhone 3GS with a new iPhone 4S. The album art is fine when viewed via my iMac in iTunes, but when I sync an album to my phone, it gives it a random album cover from my library instead of the correct one. I go to iTunes and manually re-upload the album art but when I sync again it's still incorrect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think I have the same problem with an iPhone 3GS running 6.0.1 and iTunes 10.7. I didn't have this problem with 6.0.0. My album artwork is fine in iTunes but when I transfer it to my iPhone, I get either the wrong album art or no album art. I've tried deleting the music from the phone and re-adding it. I rebuilt the album art cache. I reformatted all my music as an audiobook and then back to music (don't laugh - this worked for someone!). I loaded Media Monkey to see if there was something wrong with my mp3 files. My mp3 files are fine and if I load my iPhone with Media Monkey, the artwork is fine. I think the problem is that the vast majority of my music is 300 bps or better mp3 files. Even if the artwork is imbedded in the mp3 file, iTunes is doing something wacky with the album art and I can't figure out how to fix it. If it weren't for all my iTunes playlists, I would just use Media Monkey to manage my music on my iPhone.

Umm thumbnail of album art beside songgggg playing.. how?

yeahh so how do i get the thumbnail of the album art to show up on my ipod nano? it shows on the apple site that it displays the album art when you play a song. IT WOULD BE SUPER if someone could tell me how?! thankks team.!!!
THANKSS
-jenny

Jenny - select the song you want to add the album art to, by clicking once on it. Then click Command key (apple key) + i. On the new window that opens up click on the artwork tab. Drag the album cover jpeg onto this window, then click on OK. You can use the artwork from Amazon to place it on your songs. Do this for as many songs as you wish. When you're finished, plug in your iPod and update it and you should be set.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

My ipod is showing the album art but doesnt play music or plays other music?
