Some cover artwork does not sync from iTunes to iPod

I got the album artwork using the "get artwork" feature, but there are a number of album covers that show up in iTunes, but don't display on my iPod after syncing. Most of the artwork synced ok, but there are a few that for some reason don't display. Suggestions?

There's a couple of things to try.
First, highlight all tracks before using Apple's 'get artwork' feature. Most people already do this.
For really stubborn albums, and I've had a few where there's no logical reason why the album cover doesn't show on the iPod, try removing the offending tracks from the iTunes library (no need to send them to the trash), then locate them and re-import by double clicking on them, and 'get artwork' again, then re-sync.
Failing that, remove the tracks again, but this time attach the album cover to the track's ID tags directly. You can use something like MediaRage for this. Now the artwork is embedded with the track info and automatically shows in iTunes and the iPod.

  • Some Podcast Playlists not syncing from itunes to ipod

    There's no problem with the actual podcasts syncing to my ipod and they play on the ipod.  The playlists are the same in both itunes and the list of podcast playlists on the ipod tab in itunes.  I've reset the plays, deselected and reselected, set them to not auto delete.  I've 'Marked as Watched' and then 'Marked as Unwatched'.  All the playlists are set up the same way.  I've tried sycing using both methods of 1, using the 'File> Devices>Sync xxxx etc and 2, the sync tab in bottom right corner of the 'Podcasts' tab(ipod tab in itunes when ipod connected).

    Just a stab:
    The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • Ipod nano does not sync with itunes library, ipod nano does not sync with itunes library

    bought an ipod nano, upgraded Itunes to version 11 running on Windows 8.
    My nano is set  up with a different apple ID than my main account, but it won't sync with my Itunes Library, When I plug it in via USB, the IPOD nano icon shows up in Itunes, but when I do File>Devices>Sync,  the Snyc is grayed out.
    does the differenct apple ID on the nano have anything to do with the fact that it is different from my Itunes Apple ID, is that causing a problem? Most of the music in my library is uploads from CDs I had already owned, not Itunes purchases. 
    Solutions?

    Automatic syncing is set up on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, which is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits on iPod.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example (if you want to keep it simple), you can create a new playlist in iTunes and add all songs you want on the iPod to that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.  There are many ways to set it up...
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs syncs to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create that playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs) whenever you want, and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

  • Songs not syncing from iTunes to iPod

    I'm in the middle of transferring computers for the fourth time, and each time I run into a different problem. This time, I've successfully transfered my songs from my iPod (5th generation) to iTunes, but I can't sync songs or movies onto my iPod from iTunes. Is this a problem with iTunes or my iPod, and how do I fix it?

    Check your update settings. Connect your iPod and click on it's icon in the iTunes source list (the narrow pane on the left). This will bring up the preferences tabs in the main pane on the right. The first tab you'll see is Summary, look for "manually manage songs and videos", if there is a check mark there then the iPod is set to update manually and you have to drag songs from the iTunes library to the iPod to load them on. If you want to update automatically you need to remove the check mark from there (I would also remove the "enable disk use" check mark unless you want to use the iPod as a removable storage device) and click the Apply button in the right hand corner:

    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

  • Some music not syncing from iTunes to iPod Touch

    I downloaded music from two different artists recently. I created playlists for both. I changed the number ordering on the playlists a bit. And now I no longer have those artist's music on my iPod. I have tried:
    * Restoring original settings
    * Double checked the file types on the music
    * Manually added the music back on to the iPod, then synced
    * Adding ALL of the music library onto my iPod (hoping those artists will be added too)
    Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

  • Some purchased songs are not transferring from itunes to ipod even others from the same album did.

    Originally the songs were only partially downloaded. After completing the downloads to itunes it was suggested to de authorize the computer and then authorize the computer. Still unable to transfer to classic ipod. Even tried resetting ipod.
    Any suggestions?

    yeah, a little box comes up that says "the file ------ is not supported by the ipod" or some blah like that, and then theres this little button with a plus sign that you can click on and right next to it says 'see 181 total problems" and then it gives you a list of the things that didnt transfer. other than that, everything is fine.(well except for the fact that my music isnt transferring, of course.) its kinda new-ish, i got it in july, and its worked fine until now.

  • After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

    I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
    Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • "Related Names" Does Not Sync From Apple Address Book to iOS 4 Address Book

    I keep a very detailed address book and have just realized that the "related names" field does not sync from my Mac to my iPhone.  Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the iTunes syncing and the software, or am I doing something wrong?  If this is a limitation, does anyone know a work around?  This is important information for me to have on the go.

    Oops -- I just had to turn iCloud on in the System settings on the iPhone, then the Contacts synched.

  • Why are my playlists not syncing from iTunes to my iPhone since updating to iTunes 11.0.2?

    My selected playlists are not syncing from Itunes to my iPhone.  As a music teacher this is extremely problematic as I use my phone as my primary music player.  Anyone know why all music syncs but not the playlists?

    First, you're not talking to Apple - this is a users' forum.  Second, sync operations work one way - iTunes to iDevice; create and modify your playlists in iTunes, then sync them to your iPhone.
