No artwork visible in iPod 20GB after upgrading to iTunes 7

I have a iPod 20GB with colour display. I had updated artwork for all music on the iPod using iTunes 6. And now I have just upgraded to iTuned 7, and lo! all the artwork has disappeared from iPod. I can continue to see all the artwork in iTunes though, which means it is there in iPod too, but it is not visible in the iPod.
I have tried most suggestions (unselecting "display artwork in iPod" & selecting it back, rebooting iPod, etc, etc). I have 9.5GB of songs already which makes it quite impractical to completely restoring the iPod since I have no backups of the songs.
Please suggest something. AFAIK it is either a bug with iTunes 7 or a new iPod updated for iTunes 7 needs to be released. Own up Apple

Maria,
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for some ideas on how to find your missing music.
If you're not able to find the music, at their discretion Apple has made one-time exceptions to the "one download" policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Can't Recognized iPod device after upgrading to iTune 7 / 7.0.1

    After upgrading to iTune 7 (and later 7.0.1), my iPod Video 60G (firmware 1.2) has been having problems getting recognized by my desktop.
    Symptoms:
    - Device manager in Windows 2000 reports the device as an Unknown USB Device
    - The iPod won't get recharged nor sync'ed.
    - The "Do not disconnect" screen won't appear on the iPod.
    - Since Windows can't recognize my iPod at all, of course I won't be able to see it in iTune.
    I plugged the iPod to my Dell laptop and got it recognized and recharged properly though.
    After poking around for a long time, I figured that if I disable the USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller on my desktop (thru the Device Manager), I can finally get the iPod recognized properly. Problem is, now it takes forever for me to sync my iPod (USB 2.0 disabled, so I'm stuck with the slow USB 1.1)...
    I noticed that after upgrading to iTune 7, the display backlight on the iPod is kept on (though dim). If I remember correctly, on older versions of iTune, the backlight is completely off. I'm suspecting whether the extra current draw required by the dim backlight is screwing up my desktop USB....
    Anybody from Apple gonna look into the issue and consider turning the backlight back to off in the next release??
      Windows 2000  

    I have no problems on my Dell laptop... I'm having problem with my 4-year old non-brand-name desktop only.
    ... which is kinda abnormally 'cause normally you would expect USB 2.0 power problems on laptops only. Btw, I've got the latest drivers installed already for the chipset and Win2K etc...
    What's more interesting... is the fact that on older iPod firmware, everything was running just fine... upgrade to iTunes 7.0 and boom... I'm having problems. And, it's not recognized at the Windows USB device recognition level, so I think we can isolate the problem source to the iPod firmware upgrade.
    Seriously... my bet is on the extra power drain from the backlight being left on during USB connection...
    Guess i'll have to stick with slow USB until Apple has a new firmware...
    This latest upgrade is generating a lot of unhappy customers...... and the sad thing is, Apple did a bad job in backward compatibility and made it extremely difficult to downgrade to an older version of iTune / firmware.... Apple better get these fixed asap...

  • Ipod died after upgrading to itunes 7 and ipod 1.2

    So i upgraded my itunes to the new version and then i upgraded my ipod to 1.2. Then after restarting the computer i plugged the ipod in and let it update. Itunes freezes up and then won't recognize my ipod so i couldn't safely eject it. I unplug my ipod manually which gives me the exclamation sign then it just died. I couldn't turn it on at all. The screen is just dead and the hold button is not on. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have the same problem but this only happens on my computer. It works fine during the most of it but when i use another program that makes a sound- weather it be a message noise or a game etc. it starts to skip and wont stop untill i stop the iTunes and start song again. This didnt happen with the previous version of iTunes.
    Any advice??

  • TS1493 files not visible on ipod nano after disconnect from itunes

    I have an iPod Nano (6th generation - 16 Gb) which was purchased in early 2011. All of a sudden all files in all categories (music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc) are no longer visible once it is disconnected from iTunes on my laptop. When reconnected to the laptop the files are visible again in iTunes - so they are still on the device.  I have searched the Apple online support info and that only seems to provide complicated and unhelpful information about redesigating hard drive network maps etc., which is an action I am not prepared to risk for fear of making a bad problem worse, or contacting my "administrator" - which is me!  Can anyone offer any solutions that don't require a PhD in computer science?

    Here are a couple of additional pieces of information that might provide a clue:
    1) At home, my iPod shows up as having the name I used when I registered it. On the second computer, my iPod shows up with the name DATA1.
    2) I have an iPod 4GB mini. At home, that's pretty much the amount of space that shows up in the disk space bar (near the bottom) of iTunes. However, on the second PC, the disk space bar shows 10.35 GB used, 15.66 GB free! Which is just freaky, since it's still a 4GB iPod mini.
    3) According to the iTunes display, everything is transferring absolutely smoothly. Since the iPod is configured to transfer music manually, the Do Not Disconnect sign is flashing throughout, but when I'm done and click on the eject iPod button in the lower right hand corner, it turns off, just the way it's supposed to and I can disconnect my iPod. It's just that my songs aren't visible anywhere on my iPod when I try then to play them.

  • Ipod not connecting after upgrade to itunes 8

    After upgrading to itunes 8 my ipod (nano) will no longer connect to my computer and is not recognised by itunes. When I connect the ipod I get the windows 'install new hardware wizard' running but however I try to work through this I get nowhere. Looking at Device Manager in Windows says there are no drivers for the ipod - it has a little exclamation mark next to it.
    My wifes brand new ipod will also not connect and its straight out of the box.
    Not at all sure what to do next. The support pages don't seem to cover getting the install new hardware wizard. Any help or advice please!.

    Ben888
    Having reported this to my dealer, and them agreeing to supply a new lead to try, I had one final attempt at resetting the iPod.
    Having restored, reset and updated the iPod half a dozen times before without success, a reset as described here:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    worked and it is now merrily playing again in the car with the original lead.
    It would seem that Apple have developed another piece of spectacularly temperamental equipment........and people slate Microsoft!
    Hope it works for you as well!

  • Help after upgrade to iTunes 7.5

    After upgrading to iTunes 7.5, my library is gone ... replaced with a blank library. The library files are where they are supposed to be, just empty. I searched my complete hard drive for a previous version of my library, but found nothing. I had copied all my music to my hard drive, so I didn't lose any music, just all my organization, artwork, playlists, etc. With 3,000 songs on there, it would take forever to re-build all that.
    On my iPod, everything's fine. My question is, is there any way to copy all the organization, name changes, artwork, playlists, etc. from my iPod back into the blank library on my laptop?
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Don't want to spend hours and hours putting all that stuff back together!!

    Someone else may have a better fix, but see my posting under "Bush League Programming." Once I dumped 7.5 and reinstalled my previous version of iTunes, everything showed up just fine. Good luck.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • Anyone having issues with USB port power after upgrading to iTunes 11.1?

    After upgrading to itunes 11.1, I can no longer use the USB ports on my wired keyboard to synch my iPhone 4s, ipod Nano, and Ipad 2.  Previously, I could use this port to synch and charge the nano and iphone, and synch (but not charge) my iPad.  Now I simply get an error when I attach any of the devices ("a usb device needs more power").
    I currently use all four of the USB ports on the back of my imac (UPS power supply, aformentioned keyboard, a Lacie backup drive that has its own power supply, and a superdrive).  Interestingly, when I unplug the Superdrive (which is plugged directly into the mac on a separate USB port), the USB port on the keyboard will work.  Unplugging any of the other 2 devices does not allow the port on the  to work.
    I bought the wired keyboard to have the easily accessible UBS port to synch my nano as well as the fact I needed a number pad. 

    Get yourself a good self-powered 7 port USB hub to plug your extra devices into.

  • Lost iTunes Library after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 HELP PLEASE

    I have two issues on hand : after upgrading to iTunes 7.7 I opened iTunes and all of my music was gone except for about 1,000+ songs (3.2 GB) when I originally had about 20GB worth of songs. How can I recover my full library into iTunes ?
    Second issue: when importing new CDs into iTunes 7.7 it only plays a fraction of each song before moving on to another song, whereas iTunes shows that I have the full song imported.
    I really appreciate someone's help here, and does the latest version of iTunes have a bug ??

    Further to my last post, I find that the purchased songs have been retained in the iTunes Library of my Mac Book - is there any way iI can restore them to the iMac?

  • Problems after upgrading to iTunes version 6

    Hello,
    I've been going through the threads a lot since I have had problems after upgrading to iTunes v. 6. It looks like a lot of people have had the same issues, and I have tried some things that were recommended. After I upgraded, iTunes would not open. I tried:
    1. deleting sidb file
    2. doing the msconfig thing suggested in discussion boards
    3. going into safe mode and deleting 4 and 6 letter weird files in DOS - I found 3 that I deleted
    iTunes worked after this -- then I bought a song and it said my computer was not authorized, after I authorized computer (that never happened before), iTunes worked for about 15 more minutes and then closed down abruptly. I haven't been able to open it since.
    I also downloaded Spybot search & destroy and that did not find anything. I am using McAfee, and have scanned for viruses with McAfee and AdAware.
    Now, when I restart my computer, a bunch of windows pop up with Chinese/Japanese looking characters and say that device (I think) was not found. I seem to be able to use everything except iTunes and Quicktime. When I open the Task Manager, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe and qttask.exe are there, but when I click on Quicktime or iTunes the file flashes in Task Manager and then disappears.
    I'm not sure where to go from here.
    Any help would be apppreciated -- I'd like to be able to open iTunes!

    Hello,
    I used Nickroo's post:
    I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
    There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
    UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
    DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
    It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.
    This seems to have worked so far- I haven't started to go through ruling out what made iTunes not work; I also haven't tried to connect my iPod or burn a CD, so we'll see.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing with ATV stopped working after upgrade to iTunes 11

    After upgrading to iTunes 11, my two PCs are no longer visible to Apple TV or the iOS Remote App.  I went through all the steps in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972 without success.  In additions, I tried:
    Turning Home Sharing off, then on again on both PCs
    Re-created Firewall rules for iTunes
    Ran a factory reset on Apple TV
    Disabled iPV6 on the network adapter, based on a blogger's fix for an iTunes 10 problem
    Some other observations:
    Home Sharing was working with Apple TV an hour before I ran the updates for iTunes 11 and Apple TV. 
    The Apple TV and iOS Remote App are working together, so the network settings must be correct.
    The PCs in question are running Window 8 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    The two PCs can see eachother's iTunes.
    It seems likely this is an iTunes 11 issue, but upgrading ATV2 at the same time clouds the diagnostics.
    I was just about to order two more Apple TVs, but now have second thoughts now that my ATV2 is just a doorstop. 
    Any suggestions? 

    You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
    It seems like this is more your issue:
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
    But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
    Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
    http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
    So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.

  • After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared.

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared. Any ideas how I can get them back? They are still on my iPhone though, even after a sync.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I used to be able to add artwork to my iPod Classic until I updated iTunes. Now, even when I put a new song on it - no artwork.

    I was able to add artwork to my iPod Classic - after updating I don't get any on iPod.

    For some reason the music is not actually on the iPod. When you play it, you are really streaming it via wifi and that is why it is asking for a wifi PW.
    Therefore, make sure that the music if fully downloaded on the iPod before you want to play it away from an internet connection.

  • Sync problems after upgrade to iTunes 9

    I've seen lots of posts on this but none that directly match my situation. Bought a few TV eps that required upgrade to iTunes v9 so I upgraded. Now only some of the shows will sync to my iPod. Following the sync I've noticed that it is now also removing TV shows that were previously on the iPod, and removing or not locating shows and videos within iTunes which have been there for awhile. These shows are still showing on the iPod though - the whole thing is a mess.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with extra memory and a Seagate 320g external drive that hold iTunes. The iPod is a 32g classic.
    Any hep would be appreciated.

    I have very similar symptoms after upgrade to iTunes 9.1. During sync of Calendars (or if Calendars disabled, during iPhone backup step), Outlook hangs & sync never completes. Outlook stays hung, and hangs again if I kill and restart, until I reboot. Hugely frustrating.
