Sync and Lyrics/artwork
Hi i have a 2nd gen ipod nano but i dont use automatic sync because my itunes library is bigger than my nano so i have to choose manually what songs i want. I cant find a way to sync just the songs that are on the nano with the same songs in my library so it updates the artwork/lyrics/rating of the songs on the nano. On the ipod summary in itunes i clicked on the sync button in the bottom right corner but nothing happend. Also the checkbox that says "only sync checked items" is greyed out and i cant click it. Is there a way i can get it to sync with just the songs on the nano? thanks
The iPad syncs everything in your iTunes' library.

After updating to 8.1.2 my iPod won't sync and all artwork is missing
Has anyone else experienced this - updated to 8.1.2 this weekend, now iPod (5th gen) won't sync with iTunes on PC (skips straight to Step 4 without doing anything). All my music artwork is now missing too?
Correct sync settings are verified. Not sure why I should need to back up and restore - it synced fine before the "upgrade" to 8.1.2. Obviously I can reset/restore when I have time to do so, and hopefully that might work, but why have Apple released an upgrade that made my device unfunctional?

I have subscribed to I Tunes Match on my computer where I've been syncing and backing up my I Phone. Can I access my music before all the artwork is uploaded from my computer?
Hi,
You will no longer be able to sync manually with match. I would suggest that you wait until match has competed its process on your computer and that you are told how many tracks are in the cloud.
If you activate match on your iOS device too soon, you may find that all your tracks are not there. Ps it is not just artwork that is being uploaded, it's music as well.

Lost artwork and lyrics from MP3s
Version 11.3.0.54
on Windows 7 64bit
I recently produced an MP3. I added an Artwork, I added the Lyrics and transfered it on my iPhone.
it was ok for some day.
Now, opening iTunes, the same MP3 lost Lyrics, adn artwork.
if I open the same MP3 with Windows Media Player, i see the Lyrics and the Artwork.
please what's going on with iTunes????
it's quite urgentYes if you entered lyrics in iTunes by going to "Get info" then to the lyrics tab then you can view them on you iPod.To view them on your ipod you have to press the center button repeatedly. The number of times depends on wheter you have artwork or not.Here's the order of things as they appear.
Play status>Scrubber>Album Art>Lyrics/Description>Rating
Hope this helps -
Original iPad Sync Issues and random artwork
My friend has been using an iPad (first generation) and he recently upgaded the software to iOS5.
Lately, he has been having issues with the software: he cannot sync music to and from his iPad and he is having issues with the synced videos and their artwork.
For example, he has a TV show called "Handy Manny" for his child to watch, but the artwork displayed for the show is irrelevant to the show itself.
Does anyone know what may be the problem and how to correct it?
Thanks in advance.The iPad syncs everything in your iTunes' library.

Skipping songs and wrong artwork - Restore or reload to cure
I've had a 60G colour 4G for a few months now. So far on three occasions I've noticed that certain songs have the wrong album art (swapped with others in my collection) and some songs are just skipped over when playing.
Turning off 'display album art on iPod', re-syncing and then turning it back on and re-syncing, cures the artwork problem. But to cure the un-playable tracks problem, I have to remove all music and add it again. I've done this with (and without doing) a Restore.
Is this what other people have found with skipping tracks?
Has anyone else noticed the swapped artwork?
Better yet - why does this happen and how do I stop it?

So I guess nobody else has artwork problems combined with skipping tracks?

There is not enough space to sync my Ipod. I had downloaded the album artwork and I believe that is what is taking up the space. Can't figure out how to sync without the artwork or how to remove the artwork so my music will sync. Any suggestions?
Hello bkmonkey1012,
The option to allow or disable the syncing artwork to your iPod was removed as of iTunes 9. So now there is now way to not sync the artwork with your content unless you remove it from the content in iTunes.

Problem when Syncing Music: Album Artwork Mixed Up on Ipod Touch
I have a 64gb iPod touch, 4th generation. I sync my music over usb to the iPod through itunes with my entire library. Over the past year I have been having an issue where the music album artwork will be mixed up or sometimes dissapear/not show. Not all of my music does this, mind you, but only some of it. I have a lot of music so it's hard to say what percentage of it but it seems to be at random. I don't mean random as in it changes everytime but that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind which tracks/albums get their artwork mixed up. I have no videos on the ipod either.
So I've tried many things. I've reset my iPod Touch, always made sure the music app didn't appear in the bottom tray after double clicking(when I sync) and even tried setting my library up on my new computer (it used to be on my old one). Also I've gone through my mp3 collection and cleaned and synchronized all of the tags(between albums, ID3v1 & ID3v2) and album artwork with Mp3Tag. Everything is flawless (I have OCD, hah). Also everything appears correct in iTunes and I'm only having the issue on my iPod touch.
Here is a breakdown of what I've noticed but can't explain:
1.Reset ipod, reinstall iOs,
2.Sync library with iPod touch, everything is fine,
3.Add a few more tracks to the iTunes library,
4.Resync iPod Touch(here I've noticed something weird. Now the ipod resyncs some of tracks that are already on my iPod Touch and when I look at those tracks in the music app the album artwork is mixed up or sometimes gone.
So I don't really know what to do. I've looked through every forum and website looking for a fix and tried everything I can think of or suggested so far. Any help would be appreciated. I should point out that this problem is merely cosmetic and all the tracks play fine. But I bought a $400 iPod Touch and it can't even do the one thing that made it famous properly. I don't know, these electronics are expensive and things like this are helping me to lose faith in Apple. I've already bought an android phone over lack of faith that the iPhone would display my music correctly. I know it seems silly but an organized library is important to how much I can enjoy my device.
Thanks, hope you guys can help!Maybe:

Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs.
Why does the iphone 5 not sync the correct artwork to songs. All the artwork is correct in the itunes 11 library, but when sync'd the iphone arbittary chooses what it wants
My guess is you are using iTunes Match.
iTunes Match is a great feature, but I suggest keeping it on only on your computer. Turn iTunes Match off on your iPhone at Settings > Music > iTunes Match. Then sync your iPhone and you should get all the artwork. You may have to sync two or three times to get it all after turning off iTunes Match. -
HT4914 When iTunes Match downloads to devices, does the aac file contain cover art and lyrics?
When iTunes Match downloads the AAC files to devices, does the new AAC file contain Cover Art and Lyrics?
SORRY ALL... After searching, I couldn't find anything, and once I submitted this, up comes suggested previous discussions where it's clear iTunes Match is likely regressing my artwork. I'll proceed with deleting it all first, making sure it gets out of the cloud, then adding it back as if it were new. (Wow, Apple, what a waste of time!)

Will I b able to copy my music library from PC to I pad while sync and listen to it without sync at a remote place. Is it possible without iTunes Match?
Yes. As long as all your songs you lost have been Matched or Uploaded to iTunes Match you can download your entire library from the cloud.
It might take some time though -
So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files. I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way. I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone. So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs. How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?
Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me. I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive. It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive. BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.
