Updated to iTunes 7 - artwork no longer shows on ipod
After upgradeing to iTunes 7 and firmware upgrade to 1.2 on my 60gb video ipod, I no longer see artwork on my ipod. In fact, everything was pretty messed up, so I restored my ipod, but retained the 1.2 firmware version and iTunes 7 on my PC (Win XP Pro).
I've now added some of my music back onto the ipod, and I've added some artwork and it all shows up correctly in iTunes, but doesn't show up at all on my ipod.
The only clue I have is an error I get when I enable the option to "Show artwork on the ipod" (in the Music tab) and hit Apply. I do not get the error when I uncheck this option and hit Apply. The error is "An Unknown Error has Occurred (-50)". I have spent the last 2 days searching the apple site as well as others but can't find anything with the (-50) error having to do with enabling artwork on the ipod.
I then thought that maybe one or more of my artwork .jpg files might be invalid or something, so I used iTunes to remove all of the artwork from every music file on my ipod, but I continue to get the same error everytime I try to set the option to enable artwork on my ipod.
I have to wonder if possibly there is something else going on here. I figured that after restoring my ipod back to factory and loading only a few of my music files back on, that the problem would resolve itself, but apparently it must be a bug in iTunes 7 or something else. I'm not doing anything I didin't do with iTunes 6.x and I've never had any problems seeing my album artwork on my ipod before.
Does anyone know what is going on?? I'm stumped.
Thanks

- Try another cable. iOS 7 made the iPod/computer more sensiteve to cable problems
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls. iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files. Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod.
Can anyone please advise me.From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -
After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7). I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034. Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest". I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted. The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

itunes app no longer showing genres or the top charts/genius bar in the top bar ... it only displays a faint music in the centre with just the search box..why? i need them back:-(
The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
Are you able to supply your feed for reference? -
After updating my iTunes it no longer acknowledges that my iPod or iPhone is connected so I can't update my music.. I have followed all of these steps and everything is working fine but this new version of iTunes isn't recognizing my devices. Any advice?
I have the same problem. Running Win 8 64Bit, updated to latest ITunes and now will not recognize phone or pad. Followed all advice from Apple (uninstall/restart/re-install, all in exact order) ... nothing. Spoke with Apple tech and walked through the whole process, but no resolution. Tech was trying to be helpful but has no way of addressing issue.

Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.
Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch. Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this? The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs... The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it. iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'
The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...? -
TS2972 since i updated my itunes it will not show up on apple tv
Any idea how to get my apple tv to show up on computer menu. it worked perfectly before i updated my itunes. Any ideas?
Ok, I figured it out. What I did is added it to purchased on Apple TV playlist, (it should have been there in the first place), and then I put a check next to it. Bam back on the big screen. I never edited the playlists, so I have no idea how it was removed in the first place, or for that matter, why it even has to be there in order it to sync. I hope this helps someone out in the future. Thanks for the input and the interest.

Itunes Artwork no longer easy?
hello all, I have a quick question, Just ordered my ipod classic (from a 2nd generation!) so I'm updating my album artwork. I remember in the past being able to select multiple songs and copy/paste album artwork for the entire selection. Now I've noticed that when I do that it only pastes on to the first selected song. Is anyone else having this problem? Am I doing something wrong? i would hate to have to go song by song and pasting album art. THANKS EVERYBODY!
Get Info on the range of songs, then drag the artwork to the blank artwork pane in the lower right.

Manually managed artwork won't show on ipod
hi! this is my post because i don't really know how to solve this problem.
i have the last version of itunes under windows xp pro, using a 30gb 5G ipod video. before installing the new itunes (before having the games support) when i managed the artwork i only had to drag'n'drop the image file on the info window or into the little artwork screen and itunes copied the artwork inside the music file (i know because when i copy the mp3 from the ipod to PC media player showed artwork correctly).
so now, when i try to put any artwork on the ipod, it will only show on itunes. there's no evidence that itunes is changing ID tags to add the artwork inside the mp3's. so when i disconnect ipod from the PC, there's no artwork relationed with the album/song in the ipod.
the only way i can currently put artwork in the ipod is transferring the mp3 to itunes library, then from library to ipod and only if itunes previously has found the artwork itself.... and if i do so, then artwork will show on the ipod but not on itunes.... that's weird.
it's too much work for nothing, i like to manage artwork myself, because maybe i'm having some mp3 that are not any "official" album (like class recordings or something like that) and there's no way that itunes can find any artwork for these files (anyway, i don't like to use itunes as music software cause it's too slow with windows, so i don't want to have all my songs listed on itunes library).
sooooooo.... is there any way to insert artwork inside the ID tags with itunes as we could do it with the old itunes? i hope there is, it's driving me crazy and currently i don't really know which songs have artwork and which don't. i had a very neat and accured artwork database before that ** itunes update T_T
thanks you so much in advance!!

Why is it that everytime I update my iTunes(or do something big), my iPod gets a new glitch?
I noticed after my two updates, that my iPod gets weird after every single one. For example, it was perfectly fine when I bought it and then, I updated iTunes. Then, my iPod starts acting like a TV screen and has lines show up every so often to make me think that it is almost broken. I bought it in December and it is a touch. 64gb and 4th generation. So now, I don't update my iTunes. Also it seems to be glitching with my album covers. I added 30 new songs today all with a cover(some already having some because of a past album) and when I lock my iPod and play the songs, the album covers get switched up or don't even come up at all. :/ This makes me worry. What can I do? (Without restoring it.)
Basics are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried a reset?
