Reset iPod = videos unplayable, album art gone?

i'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but every time i reset my iPod (menu and middle button) all my videos disappear from the Video section in my iPod. When i check in iTunes, i can still see the video files, but the little TV icon beside them indicating that they are video are gone, and they just play as sound files.
Also, all the album art and lyrics i had for my normal songs don't display anymore. But i can still see them in iTunes.
has anyone had this problem? is there a way to reset the iPod without this happening?
thanks

Try restoring the iPod. Then, after a restore, try resetting your iPod.

IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

First post !
Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

IPod Classic display album art via TV-Out

Just purchased an iPod Classic 80Gb with the new Apple Dock. I am thinking about getting the new composive AV cable to display video etc. on my TV as well as playing tunes through my hi-fi. Does anyone know if the album will display on the TV when playing music?

I just got the Universal Dock and the Component A/V cable as an early Christmas present, and as stated before there's no album art. Initially I would have thought that the entire iPod UI would be visible on the television, but it is not. The only thing that shows are movies, tv shows, and photos. :/

Wrong Number of Songs On My iPod Shown/Incorrect Album Art

I have two things that are wrong with my iPod Touch 4G that are bugging me and I don't know what to do about them. One thing is that the number of songs I have on my iPod is incorrect. When I go into the Settings menu > General > About it currently states that I have 55 songs when I don't, I have way less than that. Does anybody why this is happening or what can be done about it? Second of all, for some of the songs I have on my iPod, the album art is incorrect. It shows a video clip from a video I have on my iPod instead of the album art it should have. I don't know why it's like that now, it wasn't like that before, it used to have the correct abum art. Can anything be done about this?

I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

Ipod displays the album art BLACK

I've got a 80GB ipod video 5th generation, and some songs of some albums appear black... but on the pc they are just fine.... what the **** is going on?
All my songs have the correct art on them... but some appear as a black box on the ipod. HEEEEEEEEEEEELP

i have the same problem for ages since itunes 7.2 and 7.3 arrived i guess, but no techy apple guy can give an explanation or fix this bug even on itunes 7.4.
when your artwork is on itunes it's fine, by copying it to your ipod will get the exact copy at first. but when you edit the artwork direct on your ipod, say maybe you changed the artwork, it will display black after disconnecting.
now before getting into trouble and taking hours of restoring your ipod, you may simply delete that file from your ipod and drag a new copy from itunes library. with this you'll see the artwork perfectly.
on a last note i also find annoying that you can no longer customize what fields you can view (rating, last played, date added, etc.) on your ipod settings when you plug it into itunes. the settings are at default everytime you connect your ipod.
i hope this helps. seems apple is not listening to our little concerns which we all find annoying.

Ipod displays wrong album art & skips entire songs since updating to 1.2

I recently got the new itunes update and the ipod update 1.2, and ever since that it has been skipping entire batches of songs and shows wrong album art for the songs that DO play. I have a 30 Gig Video
Windows XP

Try this: Open itunes> plug in your ipod> select your ipod icon> click the music tab> uncheck the box that says display alblum artwork (unless its already unchecked)> click apply> check the same box again> click apply. If all else fails you can restore your ipod and the artwork will come with it.

Album art gone

On itunes, it shows all of the album art perfectly fine, until today when i synced my phone and about 20% of the album art is gone on various albums. i didnt update my phone or anything, it just randomly disappeared and wont seem to come back even after trying to re sync it

I finally had to restore iOS 8 on my iPhone, and then I restored from my backup. Everything is fixed now. All music synced without issue, and iTunes even seemed more stable while syncing. I guess iOS 8 didn't install correctly the first time.
My iPhone seems to be running better now too.
I'd recommend reinstalling iOS 8, if you're having trouble. It fixed all of my problems, hopefully it can fix yours too.

Delete multiple tracks, Different album art gone in 12

so in all previous versions of iTunes i was able to delete album artwork from a bunch of files at once that had different artwork. Now it seems in iTunes 12 I can only do multiple IF the artwork is all the same,
for example, i download 8 different tracks from all different artist that have all different artwork. I don't want any artwork at all so I was able to select all, get info, hit album art and hit delete, it deleted for all. I can no longer do this. i can only do it on a per track basis OR for tracks that all have the exact same artwork like in 1 album.
Back to iTunes 11 for now i guess unless some figured out a way around this

When I used the 'Get Album Artwork' command in iTunes the actual song files were locked within finder. I do this to ensure that no track information accidentally gets altered when playing (I have over 2000 albums ripped from CDs and I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to accurate album info!).
With this in mind, it seems to me that the artwork was not actually embedded in the audio file itself. It seems that the artwork is stored in the 'Album Artwork' folder within the 'iTunes' folder in my Home folder.
The artwork for the album in question has actually gone from within iTunes - so there is nothing to delete. It is within the finder that it can be seen as a preview thumbnail on the audio file.
Upon further inspection I realise that the album I am having this problem with is the only album I viewed in the finder before deleting the artwork through iTunes. These preview thumbnails seem to have been generated while the artwork was present in iTunes but still persist even though the artwork is no longer there.

Reset iPod Video but shows 3+ gb still on...what gives...

Does anyone know this answer? It seems there is a ghost in my new iPod video... Somehow I am using up 3.+ gigs of something somewhere and I don't know how to delete it. I've looked on my hard drive but I'm afraid to delete any music files. Does computer wizard/geek know what I should do? I would so appreciate it!
Thank you so much,
Sue

For many debated and complicated reasons, because a computer OS (including the iPod OS) truncates and interprets one megabyte to equal 1,000 bytes (rather than 1024) for the sake of simplicity, when empty, your 30gb iPod HDD should have roughly 28.75 gigs avalable. I'd hazard a guess that the iPod OS takes up roughly .25 gigs, leaving you 28.5 gb remaining for use.
How much stuff do you still have on your iPod? If you check the 'about' screen, what does it say?
Also, looking at your iPod contents in iTunes could shed som light on this situation, as well as simply scrolling through the iPod and checking for duplicate items by album, artist, song, etc.
If you delete everything from the iPod and still have < 28 gigs, try a restore.

IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
running through songs on iPod
I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both
Please Help me, someone!!!

IPod displays random album art that I've never added or downloaded

I've noticed sometimes that album art on my iPod would be missing or displaying art from another album or track in my library but what I noticed today is really confusing me.
I've noticed a couple of albums so far are displaying weird images that I've never downloaded or added to iTunes. They aren't from another album, track or podcast. One is of the Golden Girls posing with their Emmys! How did this random artwork get applied to tracks on my iPod? The artwork is perfectly fine in iTunes and the thumbnails in the iPod's list view tend to be correct as well. It only shows up when I play the track or album.
No one has been using my iPod, plus I have a passcode on it. It seems like a restore is in order but I'm just curious to know if others have had this problem and know the cause.

I'm not running iOS 5 but it could be related to iTunes. The artwork seems to be completely out of the blue but I'm still seeing regular artwork being mixed up from album to album. The other weird images I don't recognize could possibly be from chapters in some podcasts that I never noticed before, I suppose.
A full restore of the iPod is likely the only solution to this fix I would guess.

Bluetooth Problems after IOS7 Update (on screen album art gone)

Before updateing my Iphone with IOS7 my bluetooth connection in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma was flawless. Now after the update i am having problems and would like to see if someone has any suggestions for me to clear this up.
Before the update i would get my album art or general art from where i was or what i was listening to on my head unit in my truck. ie: if i was listening to a song... the album it was on would appear on my screen... or if i was listneing to sirius via my phone and bluetooth... i would get the sirius logo or channel logo on the screen just to the left of the song or channel details.
now after the update all i am getting in the small box is the blue tooth logo... that is it... what happened?
i have tried the unpairing and the repairing... but nothing workes... can anyone help me?
Thanks!
James

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!!!!!!!!
