Uploading artwork to existing tracks on iPod

I have already uploaded my music from iTunes to my iPod, but have now used a third-party application to add artwork to all the albums in iTunes. How do I upoload this to the iPod - do I need to delete all the music on the iPod and upload it all again with the artwork?

it is funny how pople will just say something just
for the sake of getting those prestige points!!!....
what are you talking about??
Having sauid that that, the previous poster did not
realized that you are using windows. copying and
pasting album art in windows xp and itunes directly
in the tracks stored in the ipod is hit and miss at
best.
you DO NOT add artwork to the ipod, you add it to the songs in the Library, not on the ipod itself or the ipod list
it does not matter whether you are using Windows or the Mac OS - the procedure is the same
Believe me. I have tried to do this directly and it
did not work. another piece of advice, create a
playilist that you then sync automatically with your
ipod.This is the easiest way to make sure that your
ipod syncs automatically and the album art copies
properly in windows.
open iTunes
select a track in the Library
go to the Edit menu
select Show Artwork
a box will appear in the lower left corner of iTunes
paste your artwork in the box
if you purchase music from iTMS, they come with album artwork
if you are ripping your own CDs, some come with it, others do not - for the ones that do not, you can go to Amazon or some other site to copy the album artwork and then paste it as noted above

  • Album artwork for each track

    Hi all,

    Your post is a little vague. Something useful for you here perhaps?
    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded or downloaded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from the first track to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists for the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize a smallish image you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably a good minimum size. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600 which is probably a good maximum.
    I've not, so far, been able to locate a script to automate the process of replicating art from a track that has it to other tracks of the same album without art (or work out how to write one actually I could do it now so I'll probably have one ready in the next few days...) however if you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Control-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache *(Pre iTunes 9 only)*, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again. *Post iTunes 9*, the only option is a full restore of the iPod.

  • Some manually artwork does not appear on ipod classic

    I spent 5 hours yesterday searching for and adding cover art to my itunes albums. When I synched it to my ipod classic some of the art shows and some does not. I tried turning off the ipod and resetting it but no luck.
    any ideas on how to fix this?

    I've created a script for Windows users that can replicate art from any track found to have art into any other tracks from the same album (stored in the same folder) which you can find at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp

  • Can't upload artwork

    Okay, so after I let iTunes automatically find artwork for me and there were several blanks, I managed to figure out how to manually upload artwork. But for a few tracks, I can't do anything, it's grayed out. Like this
    - and I can't edit it at all. How do I fix this?

    It looks as though those files are in a format that cannot have artwork added. Are they in .wav format? If so, you can either convert the files to a compatible format, such as AAC or MP3, or re-import the music to your iTunes Library in a format that can handle artwork.

  • Album artwork not copying over to ipod touch

    Hi there, run into a bit of a problem, I upgraded to 1.1.3 (not 1.1.4 just yet), when I came to re-load my entire library back onto my ipod, it copies the tracks over but fails to transfer the album artwork for abou 98% of the albums.
    On my PC EVERY album has artwork as I painstakingly sat there for days on end downloading images and importing them to itunes via the "Get Info" section.
    How do I get the album artwork to transfer onto my ipod along with the tracks...?
    Thanks, dragon2309

    Same here. I spent all day today transferring my library from one computer to another and now this. Artwork shows in itunes but not on the touch...kind of stupid that the touch doesn't have the "display album artwork" option like all the other ipods.
    If someone has a way to fix this that doesn't involve removing all the music from the touch and then putting it back on that would be best.

  • Uploading artwork and remaining songs for one year now

    I was just charged for my second year of Match. This entire time the iMac has been on Step 3: Uploading artwork and remaining songs. Will this never end? Progress bar fills up, then goes back to blank saying 0 of 6 items uploaded. Another says 2564 songs are now available in iCloud, then that goes away, then comes back. Aside from that, I do have music available on my AppleTV, so it's apparently working to some degree. But what I can't figure is why it doesn't stop loading.

    Hi,
    Add iCloud status to song view. This will show the tracks that are "Waiting". You may have a corrupt track. Copy the tracks to desk top and delete from library.
    Next, Try holding shift key whilst signing out of match. Close iTunes and relaunch. Turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. Wait for process to complete.
    Now see if tou can readd those tracks.

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

    Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
    I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

  • Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

    I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet.  I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store.  I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even.  I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

    Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

  • Can you track your ipod touch if stolen

    my ipod touch was stolen is there any way i can track it i have the serial number

    You can maybe only track the iPod if you had already set up the FindMyiPhone feature. The SN will only help idendify the iPOd if it is found.

  • How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

  • HT1473 I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my computer.  My current Itunes library is listing the songs, but cannot find them when I try to put them on to my iphone.

    I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer.  My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
    The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.

    In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
    You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
    Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
    After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

  • EM  - Delete Existing Tracking ID and add New Tracking ID

    Hello Everyone
    I am working on u201CDual Tracking IDu201D issue for EM Project.
    Issue: Current design, when Users change Tracking ID (Inbound Delivery Bill of Lading #), In Event Management, we have both Old and New Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO).
    Solution: Users / Business Requested to Update Existing Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) in EM. Anytime in EM, we will have only NEW value of YTRACK_NO.
    For the same, I modified FM in ECC and Config (Rules) in EM.
    Added  Tracking References in Event Message FM whenever there is change in Tracking No.
    Replace Existing Tracking ID YTRACK_NO with new Value
          ls_trackreferences-evtcnt   = lv_evtcnt.
          ls_trackreferences-refcod   = 'YTRACK_NO'.
          ls_trackreferences-refid    = <ls_xlikp>-bolnr.
          ls_trackreferences-refusage = 'T'.
          ls_trackreferences-action   = 'A'.
          APPEND ls_trackreferences TO lt_trackreferences.
    Configuration / Rules in EM:
    For YIDN_CHANGED_TRAC Activity:
    Iu2019ve added Task12 u2013 Delete Tracking u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_REMOVE
    TASK 15 u2013 Added Tracking ID u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_SET
    Once the FM and Config is completed,
    When I change Existing Inbound Delivery BOL #, I see TRACKING ID (YTRACK_NO) is deleted from Tracking ID Tab for Inbound Delivery EH but new Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) is not added either.
    I checked SLG1 ( logs) and I see Activity is Triggered and RC = 0. Donu2019t see any errors either.
    I see entry in /saptrx/evm_ref ( New Tracking ID) table.
    Any thoughts?
    Any help is appreciated.
    PS:
    u2022     Once the Event Messages is posted, If I do Reprocess Event Messages (Manually), interestingly New Tracking ID is getting added to EH.
    u2022     Also if post Event Messages through BADI (/SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02) in EM (manually) , it works Perfectly (Deletes and Adds new Tracking ID)

  • How to add artwork to multiple tracks

    I am having trouble adding artwork to multiple tracks of the same album.  I highlight all tracks so the info comes up for the entire album.  When I drag the artwork into the box it bounces back onto the desktop and won't add like it used to.  I can go through and add art to individual tracks, but that is a very slow process.  I am sure I am just missing something.

    Instead of dragging artwork into box, double click on box. This opens a window where you can find and select the artwork.
