The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen.  How do I fix this?

My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod.  At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs.  Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back.  Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art.  How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data?  I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

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/delete 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.

  • I have forgotten my passcode to unlock my ipod touch 4th gen how do I fix it

    I have changed my pass code to unlock my home screen on my Ipod touch 4th generation and have forgotten it how do I get into my ipod?

    You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

  • My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?

    My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?
    All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    The 5G (iOS 6) require 10.5 or higher
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later7 (free download from www.apple.com/itunes/download)

  • White iPod Touch 4th gen, has blotchy Screen, is this normal?

    Hello Everyone I have a white iPod Touch 4th gen that I've had since before Xmas. I have a problem with the display. Since I received my ipt, I have noticed that the screen is blotchy, that is most noticeable when viewing solid colours, is this normal? I have read that the adesive used to bind the glass to the screen can result in discolouration however, while this may be the cause of the blotchiness, it does not seem to be going away, I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem, so would greatly appreciate some advice on the matter. many thanks in advance.

    It's like a bad paint job basically, the closer you get the worse it looks. The problem is that it's only noticeable under certain conditions. I tend to read iBooks in night mode and that's when it shows up the most, it can be quite distracting. I just wanted to see if this is normal before I take it in. Thank you very much.

  • I can't use the swipe feature on my ipod touch 5. How can I fix this?

    My ipod touch 5, 28 GB will not allow me to swipe or scroll.  I have to tap the feature I want then a box appears around it & then I have to double-tap to get it to work.  I can't access anything that is not on the first screen because I can't scroll down.  I have no idea what to do to fix this. 

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • How do I delete the account of previous owner on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. ?

    I purchased an iPod 4th Gen. 8gb from a pawn shop. The previous owner's Apple I.D. is still on the iPod.  I am unable to
    update my apps because I don't have the password.  Is it possible to delete the previous owner's I.D. withouth
    the password?

    The best thing to do will be to either go to the Settings -> Reset and choose the "Erase all content and settings" option or to restore the iPod to factory settings through iTunes. Then you can start complete fresh with your Apple ID and sync or download your own apps and content.
    Regards.

  • The sleep and home button on my iPod touch 4th gen have stopped working.

    Its been past a year since ive had it but i bought warranty from walmart and I was wondering if walmart would fix it? or should i go to the apple store and ask them?

    If you have a Walmart warranty and did not purhase the extended AppleCare warranty fvia Walmart, then go back to Walmart.
    If AppleCare, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. 
    - If out of warranty, yu can also go to the Apple store. It is free for Apple to look at it.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Maybe you just have a software problem?

  • Apple ipod touch 4th gen lock button?

    So the lock button of my 2nd hand iPod touch 4th gen is totally pressed in, (it was like that when I got it) and it was fine for about the first 6 months because I was using assistive touch to lock it but now it's started acting like it's being pressed all the time. I can barely use it anymore because it locks and unlocks it self about twice a second. I was just wondering if there was any way to reassign the button so that it stops flashing on and off all the time. Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no way to reassign buttons.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Maybe they can help

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

    I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
    And can happen with artist and other tags.
    probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
    I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

  • On my itunes library my albums are all sorted but when  i put onto my ipod touch (4th Gen) it seems to duplicate i have checked everything and there are no spaces in the information my question is how do isort it because these things drive me mad

    on my itunes library my albums are all sorted but when  i put onto my ipod touch (4th Gen) it seems to duplicate i have checked everything and there are no spaces in the information my question is how do isort it because these things drive me mad i would be most gratefully if you could find a way to help
    thatnks

    Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
    P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.
