Viewing artwork on iPod

I have a fifth generation 30GB iPod
I've uploaded loads of album artwork and attached the files to the relevant tracks - I know this has completed within iTunes but the artwork is not appearing on my iPod.
By the way - i've down the obvious by selecting the show album artwork on my iPod options before the iPod is set to sync.
Any ideas?

Does this happen to ALL artwork or only certain albums?
I have found on occasion sometimes artwork for certain albums don't transfer over. I usually can force it on by first de-selecting that album (I un-check them in the library and my ipod is set to only update checked items), do a sync, which removed the album from the iPod. Then I recheck the tracks and sync again. Usually on the second sync back onto the iPod, I get the artwork.
I think this normally happens to albums that were already on in the library without artwork and synced to the iPod and that I later added artwork and they didn't update artwork to the iPod. Stuff I added to the library with artwork from the start (that already have the artwork the first time it syncs to the iPod) seem OK.

  • Problem viewing artwork for ipod content in itunes

    I would like to scroll through my ipod library the same way as the main library but the options for doing so are greyed out. There is also no artwork window and when I transfer a song from library into ipod, the artwork doesn't transfer with it. Have I disabled something?

    Hi,
    Ah I see. I take it the album view and coverflow view buttons are greyed out yeah?, cos I haven't tried it myself.
    Do you have album art for all the songs on your ipod? That is something else I've not checked for, I've no need to see the artwork. So, I also assume your ipod song list is different to the music you have in itunes, or else why would you want to view it in itunes?
    I guess itunes is showing you what is on your ipod in the list only view cos that is all that your ipod supports. You ARE viewing your ipod after all, so the songs aren't essentially IN itunes.

  • Error -50 when trying to display artwork on ipod 5th gen

    I had this problem recently where the artwork went all wierd and wrong album covers were showing, so I thought that I'd remove all artwork using itunes (version 7.0.2.16) update the ipod, remove ipod, reset it, reconnect it and then update again with display artwork checked. It seemed like a good idea at the time but wasn't! Now all the artwork has been removed and when I try to apply 'display artwork on ipod' I get the following error message:
    "ipod can't be updated. an unknown error occurred (-50)"
    In short, I am now left with no artwork and can't seem to get any of it back onto my ipod despite the fact that it is all correctly atached to the tracks id and dispays ok in itunes.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received...

    Does anyone have a better solution? I am having this same error, and I really don't want to re-encode anything on my originals. I've done that in the past and I was unhappy with the resulting media in an ABX test. Why does iTunes have to be so picky. One of the songs is in my top 10 favorite that I listen to all the time, and as such I KNOW the song displays no obvious corruptions. AAC is the devil.

  • Is there a size limit for the txt files to be viewed in the ipod ?

    when I pass a text file (.txt) in the notes folder, then I try to see it on my ipod nano, I can see just a part of it, the beginning. Is there a size limit for the .txt files to be viewed in the ipod nano? How to increase it?

  • ITUNES 7 BUG NO ARTWORK IN IPOD

    NO ARTWORK TRANSFERED TO UPDATED 5TH GEN IPOD = I updated to iTunes 7 twice (first time it erased my purchased item authorization). For second install I successfully updated the iPod firmware. PROBLEM now is it will not transfer the song artwork.
    TRIED THESE (and I repair computers by the way)-
    Resetting iPod device...twice...no luck.
    Unchecking the option to install artwork into iPod, letting it delete artwork...then rechecking it to reboot this feature...no luck.
    DO NOT ASK ME TO RESTORE FIRMWARE, there is nothing wrong with the iTunes 7 updated firmware.
    NOW I HAVE AN IPOD 30GB 5TH GEN PLAYER WITH NO ARTWORK TO DISPLAY. NO, APPLE PRODUCTS ARE NOT FLAWLESS AS THEY CLAIM IT TO BE.

    Yup. It's a glitch for sure. But it doesn't have any ryme or reason. About 70% of all my album art will not display on my Ipod. But all the album artwork is there. When I plug my Ipod into Itunes and play songs, all the album art that I installed shows up in the picture box. But when i unplug the Ipod, no album art is displayed.
    All music I have imported recently with album art shows up on my Ipod. But not all the album art that is already there.
    So what I am doing is copying all my music from my Ipod onto my computer,
    from there I am putting it onto Itunes,
    allow Itunes to search for artwork that I did not do already (over 200 albums)
    Then delete the music from my Ipod,
    and finally reimport my Itunes Library back to my Ipod.
    I have over 30 GB used so far (I have the 60 GB Ipod) so I do not keep all my music in my Itunes library. If I did, all I would have to do is re-sync the Ipod to my Itunes.

  • Viewing artwork in cover flow view...

    I seem to be one of the few users of iTunes that is truly delighted with the latest release, albeit starting afresh with 7.0.1 on a new installation of OSX. That said, I find that in the cover flow view artwork downloaded from the iTunes store displays more much more quickly than the scans of covers I have added manually. At first I thought that this might be because of the higher resolution images I was using, but when scrolling I find that my scans do not show until I release the mouse whereas iTunes images display fluently at all times. A small, but irritating cosmetic point, but perhaps there is a solution...?

    Not yet. I experience the same thing. Your "manual" artwork is imbedded into the song file. The new Apple artwork is retained in a separate folder in the iTunes folder. There must be a lag accessing the former, hence the artwork not immediately appearing. Remains to be seen whether Apple addresses this.
    I too like iTunes 7. Seems much more organized/functional.

  • Can a slide show be created  in photoshop elements 11 that can be viewed on an ipod?

    can a slide show be created  in photoshop elements 11 that can be viewed on an ipod?

    You can create a sideshow in PSE but I don't know anything about ipod so can't tell you whether it can be viewed in it.
    Just for interest sake, what does an ipod do?  I thought it was mainly for the music and speech based stuff but you seems to suggest otherwise.
    For an old tutorial of creating  SIDESHOW SEE THIS VIDEO:

  • Displaying Albulm Artwork on iPod

    PLEASE HELP!
    When I first got my iPod I added all of my CD's. I was using an older version of iTunes and so none of the albulm artwork went on.
    I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was able to get all of the artwork for all of my CD's, which I can see on iTunes.
    I've selected "display albulm artwork" in my iPod options, but it will only display the artwork for those albulms I've recently added.
    How do I get iTunes to transfer over all of the new artwork for my original CD's to my ipod for display?

    I had the same problem. What you want to do is right click on your mouse, over the album artwork in the viewer in iTunes. When you right click, it will give the option of Copying the artwork. Click "Copy" and then open up the album you want through the browser, go to edit, click on "Select All" and the songs in that particular album will highlight. Then, right click once more anywhere in the list of songs, and click get info, then when it asks you if you want to edit settings for multiple items, press ok. When the information window opens, you're going to see a box in the lower right hand corner of the window that says "Artwork." Right click on it, and the same album artwork that you copied from the artwork viewer will copy to that box in the information window, as long as you press "Paste." Then, in the checkbox next to the artwork box, check it off, and that information will transfer to your iPod, because everything on that screen is information that iTunes automatically syncs to the iPod, as long as you tell it to do so. It worked for me, hope it works for you too.

  • Album list view change in iPod.

    Please advise how to change album list view in iPod to simple?
    I mean so no artwork display during navigation, just like in older ipod models.
    I use iPod 5g. classic 160 Gb.

    Hope someone from apple team will this post.
    This is a user to user forum. Apple employees don't post here as a general rule.
    And tt's answer, while easy, is also correct. You can't change the album view so that there is no artwork.

  • Blank Album Artwork on ipod 16gb touch

    I have a random problem with the artwork for a album not showing on the ipod and the artwork shows in itunes. A black square shows on the ipod. It happens with albums downloaded from the itunes store and imported cd's. It seems to be random, and will change dependent the order of the albums. I tried removing a album from the ipod then adding it back again. The artwork will show then but disapear later. If I import another cd it will show but another album's artwork will go black. Called Apple and they where clueless on the issue and said exchange it for a new one. I think I might be wasting my time. Has anybody else had this problem?????? if so how did or did you resolve this issue

    I also had all kinds of weird things going on with my artwork at first. What I did was make sure that each song of an album has the artwork attached. Go to ITUNES and select Album View. Then make sure under View (in the menu bar) that you have the Show Artwork selected. If you do you should be able to see a Now Playing box in the bottom left corner of ITUNES. Now If you go to play a song and the artwork is NOT in the Now Playing box you know you will have problems once you sync to your Ipod Touch.
    What I did was note each album on my Ipod Touch, that I knew I had Artwork issues. Then I went to ITUNES and sorted by Album. I made sure I found at least one song on each album that did not appear to have album art on my Ipod with artwork in ITUNES. Then started playing the song in ITUNES just so the Artwork would show up in the now playing box. Then I would right click on the now playing box and select copy. Then finally I would highlight all the songs for the Album in question, and right click on any one of them. Once you do that you will see a Multiple Item Information box with an Artwork box and a small box next to it. Click the small box (this places a check in it) next to the Artwork box and then right click inside the Artwork box and select Paste. NOw all your songs in that album should have the same Artwork.
    I found most of my problems were from CD's I ripped to ITUNES from my own collection that I had to manually add the artwork. I didn't know what I was doing and would attach the artwork to only the first song. All the albums I purchased from the Itunes store seemed work just fine.
    At any rate, I encourage you to check the songs in Itunes on albums not showing Artwork on your Ipod, and I think you will see you have missing artwork (ie. no artwork showing in the Now Playing box). Once you get your all your artwork squared away in Itunes all you have to do is sync and your Ipod.
    I still find missing artwork from time to time and always find that it is because for whatever reason it isn't attached to each song in an album in my ITUNES.
    Good luck.

  • ARTWORK ONTO IPOD

    Hi all
    can you tell me how to put artwor onto my ipod 5 gen,have downloaded to itunes and harddrive artwork, have ticted boxees in catagory to allow artwork to go to ipod but is not happening
    many thanks
    30gb video 5 gen   Windows XP  

    i have found that with itunes 7 and artwork added manually will import onto my ipod with no problems. the arwork itself it stored on each track as part of the i.d tag of something,however it you use the new fangled "get artwork" button on the advanced menu at the top of itunes then the artwork appears on all of the albums that you have that itunes has in it's library(nothing owned by sony for instance,they are soooo bitter) providing the album name field is correctly entered.this works fine up until this point.it even looks good in the new viewer.
    However if you try to import any tunes with artwork found by itunes onto your ipod then the artwork disappears! very annoying. i spent and hour and a half on the phine with apple support who assure me that they are investigaing this. i await response... oh and the nice new artwork viewing type menus don't work when browsing ipod songs. i think that we may be seeing itunes 7.1 fairly soon(well alright,ihope)

  • Can't view duplicates in iPod or iPod selection

    iTunes 7.3.2 seems a little odd, everything looks and seems to work differently - I don't seem to be able to have any control over the ipod (4 gig mini) contents unless I select "manually manage" - in the older versions, it seemed to be a mixture, you could add manually by dragging, or itunes would add from your regular itunes list as a 'surprise' which I quite liked...now I also find I can't view duplicates in anywhere but the main itunes music library - I wonder if this is a permissions issue?
    The update just seems to have complicated something that worked fine as it was....

    First of all, Yahoo! and Hotmail are not Apple products, so this is not the place to seek help with their services; you need to go to the Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail Help pages for them. Aside from that, are you certain the sender attached a picture instead of just including the link to it? Did you ask them that specific question?
    You need to check all those things before assuming there's a problem. The fact that you can view pictures in Safari on other sites would indicate there's no problem with Safari and that the sender of the email sent a link to a picture.

  • Can not view Podcasts on iPod with new iTunes

    I just installed the newest release of iTunes for Win XP (7.1.1.5) and now I can't see any of my Podcasts on my iPod (I have an iPod mini). I want to delete some of the podcasts from my iPod, but not all of them. And since I can't view them (I can only view MUSIC) I can't do that.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the posting to my question.
    But the Podcasts currently on my iPod are not in my iTunes (I delete them after transferring to my iPod as I don't want to get confused which are new and which are old...).
    So the problem is my inability to access my podcasts that are on my iPod as I want to delete the ones I've already listened to... If you have another guess I'd be very happy to give it a try.
