Synching Album Artwork from iTunes to Ipod

Ever since the latest iTunes upgrade, many album covers currently on my iTunes have disappeared from my iPod after synching. I already tried Restoring my iPod, which too close to 20 hours in total, but there are still numerous missing album covers. This has never occured before. Any suggestions?

sbeachi,
Welcome to the forums! I have not been able to find a way to have just the Album artwork update. You can try removing then re-adding the album/Songs through iTunes, for that is the way I was able to add artwork for my music that didn't sync correctly.
Hope that helps,

Transferring album artwork from itunes to ipod

hello,
i just bought a new ipod classic (i previously had an ipod classic with less storage) and am using the same itunes. i am now loading music onto the new ipod and am noticing that some album artwork is being transferred, some isn't. i had previously noticed this problem with my old ipod. anyone have any idea why this is happening and if there's anything i can do to make sure ALL artwork transfers? thank you!

If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try, switching the artwork off and on again may resolve it for you:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes (Right click on the iPod icon and choose Sync from the menu)
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.
Alternatively you could try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

How can I get album artwork from itunes to ipod with manual music managemen

I have chosen to manage music manually since there are four ipods that use the same computer in my home. I recently upgaded to itunes 7 and got my album art updated but can't figure out how to get it to the ipod without syncing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!

Well there is a setting to "manage music manually" so that the sync doesn't happen automatically. That way my wife doesn't have to get the stuff I put on the system, etc. I have to drag and drop new stuff onto my iPod after I rip it into iTunes.
I'd give in and allow the autosync but I have a number of CD's that for some reason iTunes can't "find" even though they're already on the iPod. itunes tells me that if I do the sync the iPod will be erased and rewritten and I'm worried about losing those tunes.
Thanks for the post! Greetings, Copenhagen.

Can't Download Album Artwork From Itunes Anymore

Hi, as i browse through coverflow with itunes, my ipod and my iphone i like having high quality album artwork from itunes. As i don't buy my music directly from iTunes i usually just change the fields of the first song of the album to the exact same as the way it is in the iTunes store, so i can get album artwork from them, however now it isn't working anymore, i have tried downloading artwork for a few albums and it isn't coming up it anymore and says "Artwork for... Cannot be found". For example now im trying with Beyoncé's new album I Am...Sasha Fierce and i changed everything on the first song to match exactly as it is on the iTunes store, such as artist, album, year, composer, genre EVERYTHING! please can someone help, i have quite a big screen and it looks bad when i get the artwork from amazon or google images. Thanks.

Moving Album Images from Itunes to iPod

How do I move the album images from iTunes to iPod? Can I do this without updating the whole song, for example just updating the album image. I'd like to keep my play count the same as the play count on my Library is much lower.
Thanks

How to delete album artwork from itunes?

i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.

How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac. I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch? I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes. I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album). When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up. I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message: "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.

How to get Artwork from iTunes onto iPod

Hi everybody.
I have uploaded quite a few Artworks in my iTunes and now have it set at: "Automatically download missing album artwork"
This works wonders, but...
How can I get it on my iPod as well? It doesn't seem to sinq by itself and when connecting the iPod I can't do the same in the iPod Library?
I have set my iPod on manual as I have way more songs on my iPod then on my comp.
So, how can I get the arwork from my iTunes Library onto my iPod library?
Many thanx
(have Windows and an 30G Video iPod)

If the artwork is assigned to the songs in your iTunes, then it's added to the iPod when you transfer those songs.
If you connect the iPod then click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
"display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

Removing iTunes supplied artist album artwork from iTunes

Recently bought a new iPhone 5S and am now using it to store my music instead of my iPod Touch.
All my music is in a self-made directory in Apple Lossless, so I manually transfer/have iTunes auto convert all the songs onto my phone.
Everything seems to be working fine, however, for the 5 or 6 songs I bought on iTunes in my life (and no longer have any of the songs), iTunes has somehow taken the album art from those old albums and applied them to my new songs via artist association, and i'm not sure how to get rid of them.
For example, say I bought Michael Jackson's Thriller album. I don't have the Thriller album on my music collection, but instead bought the Best Of CD and made rips of that. When I load the Best Of into my phone, going to the music app and browse to Michael Jackson, instead of showing no album art, it shows the art for Thriller. So somewhere iTunes is storing album art for downloaded music, and auto-associating them with the artists in general, regardless if the album is there or not...
Edit: Just to note I do not use any album art at all, so the ultimate goal is to have zero album art for anything. Also, yes, I did check individual tracks for album art, every music track on my iPhone has no embedded album art.

Black Album Artwork from iTunes.

I just added quite a bit of music that i downloaded to my computer, onto iTunes. When I try to get the album art information from iTunes, all that comes up is black, its not the real album art, just a black picture. I know how to get the real album art onto the library through right-click>Get Info>Past art, but when i do this, it converts the music ID or something and takes forever. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'd be tempted to force iTunes to rebuild the artwork cache. Close iTunes, open your iTunes folder, rename the *Album Artwork* folder, *Album Artwork (OLD)*, then restart iTunes. You should find that any artwork embeded in tracks displays properly. Scroll slowly through the library in grid mode to encourage iTunes to extract existing art. If all goes well delete the OLD artwork folder.
If you still have some black cover art (apart from the say the Spinal Tap or Metallica covers that are meant to be black), select all the affected tracks, Get info, and put a tick against the empty artwork box on the Info tab, then click OK.

Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
Hope this helps!

Synching song ratings from iTunes to iPod

Hello everyone. First time poster. Had a question..... I often have anthologies of bands or groups and I transfer them onto my ipod to listen when I work or commute because I'm rarely on my computer to listen to all of these songs> when I do this, I usually rate the song on the ipod (good or bad) and if it's bad, I usually look up the corresponding song on my iTunes and delete it from my file list and hard drive. Is there a way to sync up all of my ratings to their respective songs on my iTunes? Thanks everyone!!!!!

Hey, thanks for your response first of all.. but i'm a little unclear, when you mean the default automatic sync method, do you mean that I set iTunes to automatically transfer songs to my ipod? Cause that's actually something I don't want... I like creating my own playlists on the ipod and then transferring groups of songs into that particular playlists .
as opposed to letting itunes and my ipod start transferign a ton of songs by itself... I don't like that setting because there are songs that I'd rather not ev en put on my ipod from my computer. Hope you can help some more. Thanks again!!!!
