Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

"And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

Problem with album art in iTunes 7!

Ok I tried doing a search for this topic and came up with a lot of threads that didn't really answer my question so if this has been asked, my apologies....
The problem I'm having with iTunes 7 currently is that I go into the iPod Preferences and I un-check the box to include Album Art on the iPod to remove all artwork and then check it again to restore artwork. Now what happens is that iTunes does remove album art from the iPod but when I check the box to restore artwork it doesn't do crap! I did this exact thing several times to no avail, all of my album art that formerly was on the iPod is now gone and I can't get it back on despite the art being in the tags in iTunes.
***?? Why is this not working, what am I missing here? If I'm not missing anything here and I find out I gotta re-install or do some weird funky thing with iTunes to get the album art to work I'm going to be majorly disappointed with this crap of a release! Please tell me it's just me and that I'm not doing the right thing to restore my album art to the iPod!

I have the same exact problem stated above. Since the v.7 release, my album art displays incorrectly on my iPod. The strangest thing is that my device never displays the same WRONG album art twice - it's always something different. The other day was very interesting...every single song I played displayed the same exact album cover. Today at least the art is changing around a bit but still, the art is wrong! Wow. I reset my iPod and started from scratch - nothing happened. I feel like my iPod is on vacation. "Oh, you want art? Hold on...How about this one? No?...ok...How about this one?." If you can hear me Apple, please fix this.

Problem with album art... Please help

Hello, I put all my album art on all my songs which took forever last week. I updated my ipod last week and everything was all right with the album art on it. I updated it today, but now, all my album art on my ipod the same picture. On itunes, though, the album art is correct. How can I fix this without having to re-do my whole library!?? I updated my Ipod software and downloaded the latest itunes. Please help me.. Thanks so much in advance...

The easy quick thing to do IF the album art work is correct on iTUnes, is to just reset the iPod by holding down the center button and menu, if that doesn't work use the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23) and just restore it
Restore will wipe the iPod clean, but you can just sync it again with iTUnes and have everything loaded back on and hopfully with the correct art

Problems with album art!!!!

I had previously added album art to my 8 and a half thousand tracks on my 60gb video ipod and last night while syncing I got a unknown error of -50 and I lost all of my album art from the ipod.
I went into my prefs in Itunes and switched off display album art, re synced the ipod where during the process it said it was deleting album art. I then went to prefs switched back on album art and proceded to update the ipod, but again I got the same error.
there is 1.5 gigs free on the ipod.
Any ideas?

Make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore the iPod...
Restore the iPod
And reload everything.

After i downloaded IOS5 most of my album art on my iPod touch is missing, but its still on my computer.

some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?

Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.
Regards.

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.

Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Problems with Album Art flow

I have Windows Vista, and it's on an excellent machine, (for example) I can run Oblivion on the highest graphical specs with no lag. However, my iTunes cover art, or my album art is slow, even when there is no album art. I tried reinstalling itunes and I've tried searching the internet for help, but I haven't seen any answers.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Message was edited by: Ruske

I have the same problem and I don't think he's talking about the loading time for the library to show up... I have 6982 songs, around 20 videos and around 500 pics. It always worked fine and cover flow was very fast. I still have the same number of files but itunes is sluggish and even video playback gets chopped. I updated my iTunes to 7.5 from 7.3.2.6. to try to fix this. I installed directshow video codec package and I'm not sure if that was what caused the problem in the first place or meybe a new install of Office. I uninstalled all codecs and new plugins in my system. What could it be?

Problem with album art on apple tv 2 since IOS 5

hey
since i installed ios 5 on my ipad and apple tv 2 i have the problem that my album artwork does not appear starting from song 2 of the album
when i airplay with my ipad, the first song of an album has album art, starting from the second song, the album art suddenly dissapears

I have the exact same problem also - very frustrating given that it was working perfectly before I updated to IOS 5. strangely enough, the artwork displays for the first track you select within each album, so if you create a playlist and select one track from each album this would display the album artwork correctly and no problem exists. If you decided to skip from track 1 to another track within the album the artwork is not displayed? I have an iPhone which works fine when I use this to play music through apple TV so for me the issue is with the iPad update software and it must be a glitch or error in the recent update. I would really appreciate any tips to fix this issue as it bugging the **** out of me!!! Apple - get yer finger out and fix this!!!

Album art disappears from ipod touch

Album art for both complete albums and single songs often disappears from the device when uploading new music. However, the art work still appears when you look at the individual songs; i.e., when the device is connected to the computer, you open iTunes, highlight a song and click Apple-I > Artwork.
Also, song order for albums and playlists often gets thrown out of whack. Songs ends up alphabetized.

I just thought about if the music file recognize the song on iTunes store OR every song file that you have album art on then that should be no problem, the only problem is when some of the music/song which is not from iTunes store or they don't have any information for the song, so that will not have album art show up on any of your ipod device unless you add the album art yourself on iTunes when you import song into your iTunes from the file in your computer.

Major problems with transferring songs to new iPod touch 5th gen

Hi, I'm in need of help.
I just bought a new iPod touch 5th generation today and I naturally wanted to transfer some songs to it today via iTunes. I have an old MacBook aluminium with os x 10.5.8 and I have not been able to update any of my programs lately due to the fact that my os does not support them. When I plugged in my iPod to my computer, iTunes immediately opened and said that I had to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes because my iPod is not compatible with the current version. I tried doing so but failed since my os is not compatible with the new program. This is obviously just a vicious circle, since as I said, I have to buy the latest os x to update any of my programs. And since my computer is 5 years old I do not feel the need to do that, because I will soon buy a new one (in about a year).
So now I really need help. How do I transfer music to my iPod without using iTunes? I've tried googling it and I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are just 30 day trials and that won't work for me since I update my iPod daily. I've also tried putting music on dropbox but my iPod won't download music files from there, and sending music through Bluetooth won't work either. For a moment I though iCloud might work but I don't have that on my computer nor can I download it. Right now the situation seems hopeless, is the only way of solving this by upgrading my old computer or wait until I buy a new one? I feel like there must be some sort of way, but I can't come up with anything else.
Please help me, thank you

I know of no way except to upgrade the computer/purchases newer computer that will handle iTunes 10.7 or later.
If you have a Power PC processor (vice an Intel processor) you need a Mac with an Intel processor.If you computer has an Intel processor just purchase the Snow Leopard upgrade disk About $30

Having problems with Album Art

When I transfer music to my Pre the album art only shows up in "photos", there are no thumbnails in the "music" card.The pre seems to automatically make 3 extra copies too, so If I transfer an album to my music foler, not only will I get no thumbnail in my music, but I will get 4 copies of the album cover in my photos. Anybody help with this?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

How are you transferring your music? Are you using a sync program like DoubleTwist, an older version of iTunes, or dragging & dropping your music manually?
