Syncing Album Art...

I have just added all my music to iTunes 7 and unfortunately iTunes was unable to locate all of the album art. Not a problem as i used another site to locate and i then added them via the "Get Info" link by right clicking over the tune. Having added the image and syncing the iTouch, some album art will not appear on the cover flow selection, but are clearly present on the album list view. The art is showing on iTunes, but not the device!
I have restored the iTouch and re-sync'd, but no joy there either!
Any suggestions as it's making my collection look tatty!?
Thanks everyone.

i had the same probs with mine
make sure you highlighted all the tracks on the album then click the get info and add the art
i deleted what id done and done the above and it worked

CAn't sync album art to iPhone 3GS ver3.0, why?!?!

I tried to sync songs which have album art to the iPhone 3.0 by using iTunes 9, but some can, while some can't. Anyone would like to tell me the reason? All album art I downloaded from google. Picture type are JPEG. Is it because of the resolution or something like that? Please help!!! Thanks so much!!!

Thanks^^ but some of my songs didn't appear on iTunes, since some are Korean, Japan, and Chinese songs :o( so I need to download their album cover from Google. Is it because of the picture's resolution or size?

Make a playlist or lists for all of your audiobooks, then in your iPod preferences, change to sync the iPod to only those specific audiobook playlists.

How do I sync album art ?

I cant seem to sync my album art to my IPod Nano. So all my music is missing the album Art. How do I fix this ?

Hello PantheraLatina,
Try restoring your iPod via iTunes. This will erase and rebuild your iPod's artwork cache.

Help syncing album art work driving me crazy

Is there something I am missing here?

Alright try this.
Connect Device to computer.
Click on iPhone under devices
Click music tab "Above picture of device in middle of the screen"
Uncheck Sync Music -Click Remove- click Apply.

IPod Album Art Cache - Why did they remove the feature to Sync Album Art?

So it appears that Apple removed the ability to enable/disable album art in the iPod configuration in recent versions of iTunes so that one can't turn it off and sync then turn it on and re-sync to reset all the album art once it gets jumbled on the iPod Classic. It seems that this was a useful feature to have. This has recently happed to me for the first time, so now I'm having to re-sync my complete music library of over 80gig and it's going to take all night (and finger's crossed that iTunes doesn't crash - which is why my artwork got jumbled in the first place). Did the old method of resync'ing just the Album Art Cache just cause a re-sync of the entire music catalog anyways? What's the deal?

It's not available with Itunes 11. Want to let Apple know you are unhappy?
They don't read here. Send them feedback through the proper channel:

The only way they will bring it back is if you send in enough complaints.

Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

Hi There,
I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
I am using itunes version 11.01
I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
Many thanks guys

ID3 Tags/Album Art

I'm currently in the process of updating ID3 Tags and Album Art of my library. I plan to remove the iTunes database and import all songs again, hopefully this should pick up all my changes.
My question is how can I replicate this to my iPod? Do I have to delete from the iPod then add again? Or is there a simpler method?
Thanks.

Hiya, my advice is to uncheck the box for syncing album art.
Sync the iPod.
Then re-check that box, and sync again.
This method is also useful if your iPod artwork acts funny from track to track on the same album. It rebuilds the iPod's artwork cache.

Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

Can't get album art on ipod classic since iTunes 9

Hi there,
I have an 80GB iPod and since iTunes 9 i've had artwork issues.
On the first sync i did since iTunes 9 the artwork got mixed up on many songs (i.e. while playing one song it would show the album art for a different song on the ipod).
So I re-formatted the iPod and re-synched everything to it (which took hours since I have almost all 80GB used). Now there is no artwork at all on the iPod and I can't figure out how to get it back! I see no option anywhere saying to sync album art as well as music, and I swear I saw it in a previous iTunes.
The artwork is definitely in iTunes and definitely written into the ID3 tags of the songs so I'm not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
Thank you!

same experience here, looks like itunes 9 doesn't edit id3 tags for album artwork coz it has a separate cache or folders where artworks of the songs are stored. so when i play an mp3 in itunes it shows that it has an album artwork but it wont show up when i use to play the same file via wmp or winamp. as of now, the work around that i know of is to manually add the album artwork in ur ipod via itunes.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.

Syncing Issues: album art, cut-off songs

I have a 16GB iPod Touch that I've been syncing with my Windows Vista PC, seemingly without complications. It has only recently come to my attention that somewhere between my computer's library and my library on my iPod, something is messing up at random times. Full songs will become half-songs, 30-second songs, on the iPod. They are not damaged on my PC, but when they get uploaded to the iPod, they get messed up. If I re-upload them, sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it cuts in a different spot. This is immensely frustrating, as I do not know how to fix it or what is causing it to begin with.
More recently I have discovered that all the work I have done organizing my library and getting everything to have album covers is wasted when I try to put these albums on my Touch. The album covers entirely disappear, and I have to copy and paste them in, which takes about five minutes per album (slow write speed?). Seems pretty lame to have a product focused on the ability to flip through albums visually, and then have the album art not automatically download with my music.
Any help?

I finally have the fix for this issue after a month of extensive debugging, experimentation, etc. on Windows Vista. I've reinstalled my whole **** computer twice, and Apple's phone support is a (bad) joke. They should just send me the script they use so I can read it myself.
First off, let's establish the symptoms of this problem:
* Data sync'ed to my iPod Touch would corrupt at random points. Sometimes songs would go through intact. Other times they would "glitch" partway through and the device would advance to the next song. Video files of a sufficient size -- like movies and T.V. episodes -- ALWAYS glitch at some point, which crashes the video playback and brings the device back to the video menu.
* Periodically, the iPod Touch would corrupt completely, which required a total firmware restoration. Rarely, these firmware restorations would also fail.
Now for the solution. It's a two-part deal:
1) Stop "Windows Search." It's not the major cause of sync problems, but it is a contributor, which is unsurprising given the amount of resources it hogs. Open the "Services" control panel item (Control Panel->System and Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Services, or just type "services.msc" into the "search" box on the Start Menu) and double-click "Windows Search." Click "stop" and set the startup type to "disabled," then click "OK."
2) This next part is going to be a bitter pill to swallow. When Microsoft launched Vista, it created a new "security feature" called PatchGuard which disallows direct kernel access to third-party applications. Antivirus vendors like McAfee, Symantec, Avast, etc. all have to use a kernel API rather than direct kernel access. However, Microsoft's own antivirus product -- Windows Live OneCare -- has complete access to the kernel without an API.
This appears to have created a weird situation with iTunes. I have reinstalled my system twice, both with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista, and it seems that merely having a third-party antivirus product installed is sufficient to cause this problem. I've tried Avast, McAfee, Symantec and TrendMicro's products. The problem will not go away even if you turn off scanning, put in exceptions, etc. With Avast, I even terminated all of its processes and stopped its services. No dice. Just having a third-party antivirus product installed -- EVEN IF IT IS NOT RUNNING -- will cause this issue.
However, the second you UNINSTALL your third-party antivirus software, the problem goes away -- every time. I've sync'ed movies over and over again to test this, and it's definitely the primary source of the problem.
Obviously, running without antivirus software in this day and age is unacceptable, but there is one product that's free from this problem; in fact, it's the only product that still has direct kernel access. I'm running Windows Live OneCare on a 90-day trial right now, and after running more tests, I've confirmed my hypothesis. Any antivirus product with direct kernel access is fine. The problem is that Windows Live OneCare is the ONLY antivirus product right now with direct kernel access.
If you're running Windows Vista 32-bit, there may possibly be a second antivirus option. My Windows Vista-based gaming laptop uses Computer Associates' AV product, and it's never had a problem syncing with my iPod. I haven't really tested other products on it, though, so your mileage may vary. I can't say for certain that it's a safe bet.
So there you have it: one month of my nights and weekends down the toilet to fix an issue Apple and Microsoft should be handling. I feel like I've paid $500 for the privilege of being an unpaid Apple Q.A. tester. At this point, they should pay ME for the time I've wasted on this issue.

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Album art not being synced correctly

I used an external tagging program to embed album art into all my song files. They show up correctly in iTunes when selected or playing, but they do not, in all cases, sync to the iPod. However, I have found that if I go to an album that has art in iTunes and does not sync to the iPod, and play each track just for an instant, and resync, the art transfers. What's weird is that it's not consistently NOT showing up on the iPod... and I certainly don't want to have to hunt down every piece of music with art that doesn't sync to the iPod and play that song. Is there a way to make iTunes refresh the library without deleting the database? I don't use iTunes to manage my physical music files.

Thank You, now I can see the art work when I play the songs in itunes but now when I play a song on my ipod it doesnt display the artwork with the title on the ipod itself.
I've tried everything.
Thank you for your help!
