Some artwork missing from iPod

i have a 5th generation 80gb video iPod. i have spent several hours on Google Images downloading and adding artwork for all my albums that are not available on iTunes. when i updated my iPod, however, some of this artwork does not display on my iPod. all of the artwork that i downloaded from the iTunes store shows on my iPod. all of the artwork i added manually shows in iTunes. however, some of the artwork i added manually shows on my iPod, and some does not. i can't figure out why some of it shows and some doesn't. i have been very careful to make sure i add the artwork to every single song, and not just for an album. does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I have the same problem. I added artwork manually to all the songs I burned from my CD's. They were all working fine until one day about 40% of them won't display anymore on my iPod, but they are visible when looking at the song through iTunes to the iPod while connected.
I have done searches on this topic and have concluded that Apple has no idea what is wrong, what causes it, or how to fix it. There are many, many, many unanswered questions about this topic.
People say to deselect the display options via iTunes then reselect it. But why? That does not work. And I think it assumes that everyone is synching 100% of their songs between iPod and iTunes (I don't, because I don't want many of those songs on my iTunes, but want them on my iPod).
I would really like to know the root cause and have a reliable solution from someone. The artwork is on the iPod, but it just does not display it anymore on 40% of my songs.

Why is some artwork missing from my iPod when it is correct in iTunes?

I have had great trouble trying to sync my iPod Touch (4th Gen running iOS 6.0.1) with iTunes (10.7.0.21) for Windows. Every 2000 or so tracks (out of about 15,000), iTunes says that some tracks could not be copied and that the connection with the iPod has timed out. This has resulted in losing up to 12,000 already synced tracks, and having to startagain from scratch (at least three times). I have resolved the issue by just syncing two or three albums at a time until the fault occurs, and making sure that there is no syncing taking place when I have to do a hard reset to close iTunes. The problem I'm having now is that there are several albums with the artwork missing - despite the fact that it was ok on previous syncs, and the fact that it is all present and correct in iTunes! I've heard that you should clear the artwork cache - is this correct, and if so how do you do it?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Andrew Morten

All I can suggest is:
Try:
- 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
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Artwork Missing from Front Row 2 with Shared iTunes

From what I can see this is not solved in X.6.5

I suggest to reopen one here. Cool if all affected users send the following message to Apple via the feedback form (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html):
+Dear Apple dev team,+
+I would like to know what is the status in resolving the original Bug ID# 3792802 "Artwork Missing from Front Row 2 with Shared iTunes".+
+This issue has been around since Mac OS X.5.2, and is to my knowledge, still not resolved in X.6.5+
+Thank you in advance for your answer.+
Post your progress here. Thanks.

This issue is still not solved in X.6.6,...
By the way, no one has bothered answering to this topic. I'm saying sending feedback to Apple is a good idea, but that is the only way I could figure. Any other ideas from your side?
Has anyone sent feedback to Apple? If not, please give their dev team some feedback about this issue.
Thanks. Comments appreciated.

Camera app missing from iPod

Camera is missing from ipod touch 4G. Finally succumbed and did the Restore, Reset All to Factory Settings, installed OS5 but camera still not there. Also, there 's no Camera in the Restrictions settings. Does someone have an answer for me?

TS3991 I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back?

I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back? My os is 7.05

Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download. You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All. You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list. You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

Artwork disappearing from iPod

I know, this problem is well-known, but still no valid solution.
There is nearly 30 000 songs on my iPod Classic 160. All of them have embedded artwork, visible in iTunes. But my iPod don't display no artwork for random albums. It had begun few months ago after one of those automatic updates.
I've tried many things like:
- Deleting artwork from album and inserting in again (sometimes works, sometimes not)
- Unchecking the songs, syncing, checking again, syncing (~50% success)
- Restoring iPod, loading all my songs again (random albums with artwork)
- trying "clear downloaded artwork"
No reliable solution. Still the same: all album covers in iTunes and only part of them on iPod.
Also I know about "reset artwork cache", but that is not possible in iTunes 10.
Can anybody generate new ideas what to try next? Where is this "artwork cash" on the disk? Maybe I can delete it manually. Maybe this iPod is lame, hardware is dying and it cannot work with artwork correctly.

Ah, ****. Nobody is helping. This *****.
I've found some kind of solution, maybe it will help somebody else.
The artwork cache is not working as it must. If you have all the covers embedded in the songs, you see them in iTunes, but only some on ipod, then do this:
- connect the media storage where you keep your music (if not on hdd);
- connect ipod to the computer;
- apply "uncheck selection" to all your songs, whos covers are not shown (or all songs);
- look into the ipod properties and mark "update only selected songs";
- sync ipod. All checked songs will be REMOVED from ipod;
- select all songs in itunes, do "check selection";
- manually put the highlighted cursor on 1st song in your list and press keyboard "down arrow" many-many times, until you reach the last song. With this operation you make iTunes add all the missing artwork to the cache.
- sync again, the songs will be written back to ipod.
That's all. Artwork is back.
Sorry for my English.

ITUNES doesn't always load up and some artwork missing!!

I have all my music on en external hard-drive and the itunes and artwork on my c:drive, occasionally when I open itunes it says importing itunes, this goes on for a while then it says it couldn'nt find the file and has renamed it itunes library damaged, it then opens itunes with all my songs but with alot of the artwork missing, this happens about once a fortnight - aarrhhh, why??
Thanks

Ok, so I went and found the album I was looking for and dragged it in, but the image is pretty poor. Is that the best we can hope for? Why can't Apple allow us to drag the image from iTunes store? Or better yet let us import the artwork without buying the album since I owned the album/cd long before there was any such thing as Apple, iTunes or iPods?

Artists missing from Ipod

Artists that are in my computer Itunes library are missing on my Ipod after synching. Songs are all there under the Ipod Songs tab listing the Artist but under the Artists tab the Artist is gone.

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is incorrectly marked as part of a compilation (and you have Compilations enabled on the iPod) or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

Items Listed In Library, But Missing From iPod/Hard Drive of Computer

I recently had my latest disaster with iTunes wiping out the content of my iPod. I hooked up the iPod to the computer to charge and to add on a few more items. When it updated, it started from scratch and updated some 1700 items or so directly from my computer hard drive into the iPod, as if they had never been on the iPod in the first place. Further, there are still something like 2000 more items that were on the iPod before this, but now are missing from its list. These items are songs that are no longer on my computer's hard drive. These items are still listed in the iTunes library, however.
What do I do to get these items accessible again on the iPod itself? Whatever I have tried so far with updating does not do anything but have the iPod/iTunes deal with the items that are still on my hard drive of the computer. How can I get the full listing of 3700 items to play on the iPod again? Or do I have to start from scratch (this will be the third time I will have to do this if so) and reload all those hundreds of CDs back into the iPod manually?
Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!

Were any of those exception edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If so and you can identify them, download the "Embed sRGB Profile" application from Toad's Cellar, unzip it and place on the desktop. Then take those files and drop onto the application. After the profile is embedded in the files try importing them again.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Genius frozen and some artwork missing!?

Hello
I have just migrated my itunes library to a laptop from an old PC, and everything is fine, except for 2 things;
Some artwork (maybe 10%) has vanished, even though it was there on the old machine. Any tips for finding it?
But more weirdly, I have tried turning on Genius and it gets about halfway and comes to a grinding halt (during the gathering info about your library stage). Itunes is using 50-55% of CPU but nothing is happening within the program...
I have a very large library, but it seems odd that it should get half way quite fast and then do nothing at all (now about 6 hours and counting...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
Simon

I have the same problem. I added artwork manually to all the songs I burned from my CD's. They were all working fine until one day about 40% of them won't display anymore on my iPod, but they are visible when looking at the song through iTunes to the iPod while connected.
I have done searches on this topic and have concluded that Apple has no idea what is wrong, what causes it, or how to fix it. There are many, many, many unanswered questions about this topic.

Music missing from ipod?

for some reason my ipod would not play and just keep running from one song to the next.i connected to computer to update and now all my songs are missing from the ipod and nothing i try puts is back.i have removed and put everything back,latest update,restore back to the begining still my ipod is blank.need help on what to do next.thanks loraine

i do normally auto update, and there is some music in itunes that I have moved around or deleted, more specifically, itunes cannot find it-however the music HAS stayed on my ipod!! do you know why this is?
Not really sure.
Have you tried a Reset on the iPod?
If it keeps happening (and you don't want it to, you may have to Restore.)
should I just uncheck all the old music that I have deleted, then only update the checked stuff? (just to keep it organized?)
How are you deleting the music? Directly from the folder or are you using iTunes to delete it?
If you use iTunes, it will not be in iTunes to check or uncheck. I recommend you use iTunes to manage your music, then you don't have to worry abou twhere it is stored or what it is named, etc.

Some Audio Missing from Exported Movie

I've exported a movie from iMovie to iTunes for sharing with AppleTV but the sound is missing from the last 75% of the movie when played back in Itunes or AppleTV. All the sound is ok in the iMovie project so some of it appears to have gone missing when exporting to iTunes.
I have tried re-exporting it but it's still the same result.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Joe

Like everyone else here, I'm just an iMovie user who volunteers to help answer questions.
Unfortunately, recent changes to the Discussion software introduced bugs that make it very difficult to reply to user questions. Despite assurances by Forum administrators, these bugs are not being fixed.
This is to ask that you contact Apple, suggesting that additional resources be allocated to fixing the Discussion software. Hopefully your support will encourage Apple to address these problems.
Here's the man who should be able to get some action:
Steve Jobs <[email protected]>
I plan to include this message in postings until the issues are resolved.
Joe, I've also seen problems exporting iMovie projects with the Apple TV exporter, although never the problem you mentioned.
I suggest you try another way to configure your own export settings. Your goal will be to create an export very similar to Apple TV, but build it on your own. The Apple TV exporter uses the H.264 codec, used for many other exports too.
(You can test this on one or two clips in the affected area before exporting the entire iMovie project. Use the "Share selected clips only" checkbox.)
Instead of choosing the Apple TV export in the export dialog window, try choosing "Movie to MPEG-4". Then click on the Options button. Configure these settings:
UNDER THE VIDEO TAB:
Video Format: H.264
Data Rate: 2653
Optimized for: Download
Image Size: Custom, 720x480
Frame Rate: Current (or 29.97 for NTSC, 25 for PAL)
UNDER THE AUDIO TAB:
Audio Format: AACV-LC (Music)
Data Rate: 128 kbps
Channels: Stereo
Output Sample Rate: Recommended
Encoding Quality: Better
When the export is done, change the file extension to ".m4v", the extension used by Apple TV, if you like. You'll want to test the movie in whatever ways you now use the traditional Apple TV movie.

Some Artwork On My Ipod Shows All In Black

I'm not sure, but I've been doing both, uploading to the itunes library first, and the I skip that part and put it directly to the ipod. But I'll try to put all the artwork on the itunes library first, thanks.

All songs and playlists missing from iPod

I have a 20GB iPod with the click wheel. It is not showing any of the music I have loaded on it, but when I look under "About", it says that the capacity = 18.5 GB, available = 150MB, which would seem to indicate there is data on the device. When I plug it into my computer for iTunes, I get a message saying that it can't find the music. I believe its happened before, but just 'fixed' itself. I have tried the reset (menu + middle) thing. No luck. PLEASE HELP . . . SO DESPERATE!

Hi people!
I think to have the same problem. Yesterday i have plug my iPod into my computer (Windows XP) and iTunes can't show me the songs (but all songs were fisically in the path music!!) I read also a message in the traybar such this " \iPod_Control\Device\Sysinfo is corrupt or unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility."
Well I say me.. CALM! So I tried to restore my ipod using itunes tool (with version 7.1) and all problems was vanished.
so i have restored some songs into the ipod.
All ok.. Till this evening: iTunes can't see some of the songs uploaded yesterday! Why?
Some songs had this problem: when i would play "The Show Must go on" the ipod play other sogn but the title on display is correct! Now i tried to update itunes to 7.3 version, and after some attemp of plug/unplug the ipod from the computer i don't see the problem yet.
what is happened?
Sorry for my english guys, i come from Rome! Thank you in advance
