Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

Of course it always works, what are you talking about.
I appreciate that re-downloading is only available in the US and then only with certain content. However content that cannot be re-downloaded is not offered for purchase on the Apple TV.

Ipod touch won't show up in Itunes

I have an Ipod Touch and it shows up as internal storage in Windows 8.1 on HP laptop, but won't show up in Itunes no matter what. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, deleting the contents of the temp folder, changing USB ports, and changing user accounts in Windows and it still won't show up in Itunes. However, it will show up in Itunes on a different computer with Windows 7.

Did you remove and reinstall all Apple software. not just iTunes?

My 2nd Gen iPod Touch won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance,
P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

I have the same problem with my 2nd gen itouch.
I've tried other computer and my childrens iPods work on my computer so not a windows problem. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and resetting itouch as per apple support pages but nothing, it doesn't even show on my computer. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

My iPod touch playlists only show up on iTunes under devices and not on the iTouch itself. On iTunes, I cannot play my songs from the iTouch on iTunes. Any ideas?

Suddenly in the last 10 days, my iPod Touch playlists don't show up on the iPod unless plugged into iTunes and only under the device section of iTunes. When I try to play a song on my iPod a different song from the library comes up and plays. Lastly, when I try to play the songs in the iPod library on iTunes when plugged into the computer, an exclamation mark appears to the left of the song title and will not play. Any ideas?

HT201413 My ipod touch doesn't show up in itunes but my sisters does?

Bought an ipod touch but when I connect it to my pc it does not recognise it at all. My sisters works fine though. Done all the help tips on apple, still nothing. Help please.

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

My 6th gen Ipod nano does not show up in Itunes or in My Computer

I do not think that this is a problem with my computer because I own an older 5th gen nano and have never had problems with it before. Both my computer and Itunes has no problem seeing the older Ipod right now. I have followed the troubleshooting guides and I'm still stumped on why my new Ipod won't appear. I've read several disscussions and haven't found the fix yet. My newer Ipod has been connected to another computer before but I don't know whether it was a Mac or a PC, and I believe that is the problem. I was thinking maybe it would help if I completely reset my Ipod, I don't mind losing any music, but I have no idea how to if I can't connect it to my computer. Please tell me how to reset it to facory settings or if you think that something else will work I'm completely willing to try that too. Thank you.

Thanks for a reply
The cable that I'm using came with my 5th gen nano. The 6th gen Ipod shows that it's connected but the computer doesn't see it, so I don't think that it's the cable.
I did try this before when looking at the troubleshooting guide and nothing happens. It just resets and then the Ipod screen tells me that it's connected to the computer. It still is unseen by Itunes and no where to be found in my computer.
I don't have another computer to plug it into at the moment but I may be able to visit a friend that owns a decent PC in a few days. If that doesn't work out I will be getting a new lap top in a week and I'm hoping that it will work on that, but it won't be a Mac. So, let's say it works when I plug it into one of these computers, should I reset my Ipod from there or is there something else I should do?

Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.

I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7. Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed. I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes. Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top. I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics. To summarize what I did.
1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
6 From the ipod camera device I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
8.Checked install from a list or specefic location.
9.Search for best driver in these locations. I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
11.Saw ipod device driver.
After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! Help

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes.

My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Delete app from iPod Touch, but still shows up in iTunes

I've deleted a couple of apps from my iPod Touch, but after a sync they are still showing up in the iTunes apps tab with my iPod plugged in. They are both unchecked, so that they will not sync, but I can't seem to delete the app itself from my computer. In the previous version of iTunes, you could manually delete an app from iTunes and it would be gone, not just unchecked.
Any advice?
Using latest version 9.

Try going into your iTunes/Mobile Application folder (wherever that is on Win XP) and deleting the .IPA for that particular app. Thats how I permanently delete my unwanted apps as simply deleting them in itunes or on the touch desnt get rid of them completely and iTunes always trys to put them back in there as it stayed stored in my application folder.

IPod Touch wasn't showing up in iTunes (Windows), won't let me restore it.

Ok, so I got a new computer recently, as my old one was decimated by a virus. Yesterday, I tried to connect my ipod touch to the new computer for the first time, but it wasn't showing ip in itunes. I've tried everything in the troubleshooting guide, but nothing there has worked.
I have not, however, tried using a different computer, as the only other one nearby is my old one, and I am hesitant to connect my ipod to it as that computer still has the virus on it.
So today I decided to try restoring my ipod in the hopes that that would do something, but every time it gives me the 1611 error and tells me that my security software is interfering with the process. So I go about updating both the security software (avast and malwarebytes) and my computer, but I still get the same error. When I tried uninstalling the software, it did the same thing.
I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I'm hoping that I just overlooked a step or something like that. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

DId you also disable the computer's firewall?
Have you did this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
