Showing Artist info and Album artwork on TV through AV cable

I just hooked up the iPod through an A/V cable to my TV and the videos / movies look great... I am trying to get some information on how I can get the artist info / album artwork to show through the same system. I am tired of looking at the iPod to tell artist / album when connected through the A/V cable.... Anyone know how this is done?

    Hi TheGuru146,
    It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    iPod nano (7th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

  • ITunes Store does not show author and "album artwork" of my podcast

    Although all information is available - the itunes store does not mention the author and "album artwork" of my podcast - if podcast is downloaded, album artwork is shown...
    How can I add the informatin (especially that author is not "unknown" anymore)
    http://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/nie-mehr-schuchtern-der-podcast/id404201576?i =88951302

    For reference, you feed is at http://kontaktvoll.de/tinc?key=r5FOIixD
    This is not a valid podcast feed for iTunes. It's missing the 'itunes declaration' in the second line. The top two lines of your feed should read as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
    Without that, iTunes cannot read the 'itunes' tags which are necessary to carry some of the information, and which in any case are missing from your feed. The author name is carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and the image in the 'itunes:image' tag.
    This page contains a basic sample feed so you can see what it should look like and how these tags are formed:
    http://www.wilmut.org.uk/pc
    If you are hand-writing this feed it's a good idea to put returns in after each closing tag, as in the sample. At the moment most of your feed is on one line and this makes it very difficult to read when looking for problems, particularly as you add more episodes.

  • I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

  • Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

    Dear,
    I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
    The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
    Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
    I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
    Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
    Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
    Regard,

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    You can't use your account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card - your balance can only be used to buy content for yourself. Until you pay what you owe iTunes then you won't be able to download any items from the store on that account.
    If you haven't got a valid credit card then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can cancel the gift or take what you owe them from your balance: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Get info add album artwork

    I happen to have quite a few songs that iTunes won't automatically add the artwork for so I have to add it myself. When I go into 'Get Info' and then choose add artwork, the artwork only works for that session. If I were to take the song out of iTunes and then put back in iTunes, the artwork is missing again. Essentially it's not saving the artwork like iTunes used to.
    Has anybody else had any issues with this and who possibly knows a way to work around it.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • IPhone iPod "Artist" Menu Selection - Album Artwork

    How come in the new iPod on the iPhone when I am inside the "Artist" listing for my music, it shows completely random artwork from previous/newer albums of artists I have? This was never a problem before, but its ridiculous to have different album artwork for an artist when you don't even have the album that the artwork it is showing. Apple, fix this...

    OH MAN. This. I have the same gripe/problem.
    I can only assume it is pulling the artwork from the iTunes database.
    However, I have proper album art set for everything in my iTunes Library. What I don't want is some horrible software design decision ruining the experience of browsing & listening to my music.
    Going to file this as a bug report. Not sure what on Earth the team was thinking with this "feature."
    The worst part is, when instead of an artist photo, it pulls down a random cover of one of the artist's albums and uses that! This one album by this one artist that I have on my iPhone, since it does not have an artist photo, uses cover artwork from an entirely different album than what is loaded.
    Argh!

  • ITunes and Album Artwork question on Mac with two users

    Hey everyone, I have what I hope is a pretty simple question. Right now, on my iMac, I have 2 user accounts, one for me and one for my wife. I wanted us to be able to share all of our music, so when I was setting up the computer, I put the iTunes Music Library in a /User/Shared/Music directory. Then, inside iTunes, for both users, I pointed to this new library. Everything here works great. When I add a song under 1 user, I just have to go to Add to Library under the other user and the songs are added. Works fine.
    My main question is about the album artwork. I recently spent a lot of time under my user account going through and making sure I have all of the album artwork for every song we have in our library. I never thought about checking this on my wife's account, but when I did I realized that all of the stuff I added is not there. Anyway, I did some checking and found out that the album artwork is stored in each users Music directory. I did some reading on the web, and what I did was move my album artwork folder to the /Users/Shared/ directory, then created a symbolic link in my user directory to the shared folder. I did the same in my wife's account. I thought this would do the trick but it hasn't changed anything. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks so much for your time.

    The artwork is stored in Music/iTunes/Artwork.
    iTunes handles everything in that folder when iTunes adds it to the database.
    This info is maintained in the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder.
    iTunes will not do anything by copying or pointing to the artwork folder in your folder.
    Unless you are both using the same iTunes library file, you will need to get your own artwork.
    I put the iTunes Music Library
    Do you mean the iTunes music folder?
    Here's a way to do what you want.
    Move your *iTunes folder* to the shared directory.
    Open iTunes holding Option and select *Choose existing library*.
    Select the iTunes library file in the Shared directory.
    Everything should work fine.
    Quit iTunes.
    Move the *iTunes music folder* from /User/Shared/Music directory into the *iTunes folder* you moved into the Shared directory.
    Start iTunes. Everything should work.
    Quit iTunes.
    Log into your wife's account.
    Start iTunes holding the Option key, select *Choose existing library* and select the *iTunes library file* in the iTunes folder you moved into the Shared directory.
    Everything should be there including all artwork.
    Each user needs to quit iTunes before the other user can open it.
    Shouldn't be a problem since you are using the same computer.

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....

  • I NEED HELP! IPOD AND ALBUM ARTWORK ISSUES

    I can use the music store and surf the internet fine. BUT, I try to use the ministore and with the new itunes, update mmy ipod and download album artowrk, it says itunes cannot connect, please make sure my connection is active. I tried the network diagnostics and it said network failed, but in the report, it says it connected to the music store. I dont understand, this shouldnt be because I can use the music store no problem. What is odd is on my other accounts on the computer, this issue doesnt exist. I dont recall changing any settings. Can someone help please?

    You can get album artwork from various other sources as well as Amazon. You can even locate artwork using Google image search by using the artist or album name. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag

  • ITunes is randomly deleting ID3 tags track number data and album artwork

    A few weeks ago iTunes 10.5.3.3 starting deleting the amount of tracks available for an album and its artwork when I would play a song. Thus "4 of 12" would go to just "4". And in some cases the artwork I've had for years and years (since iTunes 6) is disappearing for an entire album when only one song is played as well. There is no pattern or any discernable reasoning of what tracks its choosing to do this with. It's really disheartening when you factor in all the time and effort involved  for nearly 10 years with making all of that data correct and adding customized artwork for 10,000+ songs for it to now just start disappearing randomly.
    I suspect my iTunes database file is corrupt, however, how do you fix that without losing all of your Playlists, Artwork, etc.?
    I've loved and had zero problems with this software until a few weeks ago. I'm a happy owner of multiple iPods for all this time and now this is disconcerting.

    The missing total track count numbers strongly points to Windows Media Player. It has a nasty habit of "refreshing" the metadata when you didn't ask it to. This can happen even if you don't use the program as a rule as it may be launched in the background when viewing certain media content on the web. Next time iTunes has a reason to inspect the tag, e.g. during playback, it will reveal the new data from the tag. In essense the damages is already done but iTunes has yet to notice all of it.
    For tips on getting WMP and iTunes to play nicely in future see this thread.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to compare your library with the contents of your media folders.

  • 5G and album artwork on AV reciever

    Guys I have 5G 80Gb iPod and a Yamaha 3900 AV receiver with iPod dock.
    When controlling the iPod in the Yamaha dock, its should display the album artwork on the connected plasma display - but it doesn't - it just says "loading" then nothing (plays music fine though)
    My partners Gen2 iPod nano works fine. I've checked both using same tracks, new tracks etc - hers displays artwork mine doesn't. By elimination I believe the issue must lie with the iPod as we share the same iTunes library (and therefore MBP) and as hers works it wouldn't seem to be the Yamaha.
    All updates are up to date with respect to all devices, software etc.
    Both iPods are Mac formatted and seemingly same options selected. I've tried a full restore on mine with no success.
    Any other tips?
    Thanks
