Why doesn't artwork sync to ipod

Just bought IPOD Touch 4th GEN, and downloaded the latest itunes software.
I drag items from my "my music" folder and it appears fine in itunes (including album artwork).  When I then drag from itunes library to the ipod, it syncs however no album artwork appears on the ipod.
What am I doing wrong?

I have found a way.  Not elegant, but it does work.
Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac.  But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac.  So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud".  If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list.  They will then sync to your iPod classic.
Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work.

    Can you be a little more explicit about what you are trying to do, and what happens when you try? As stated, that isn't much to go on.

  • Why doesn't iTunes see my iPod 80gb Video since I upgraded to OSX 10.4?

    I upgraded to Tiger from Leopard a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to sync my iPod since. I've rebooted both the iPod and my Mac, Re-installed iTunes, replaced the ipod.plist and DRM key, and done everything on the Apple Help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61937 "Mac OS X 10.4.x-Install the latest available Mac OS X 10.4.x update. If you are already using the latest version of Mac OS X 10.4, or if updating does not help, perform an archive installation of Mac OS X 10.4.
    I didn't do the "Archive installation which I can't do because there isn't enough room to copy the internal hard dive data onto itself. Please tell me why my iPod appears in the finder, but iTunes just won't recognize it!

    Hi mattweb,
    Windows is probably confusing your iPod with a USB network device. In this case, definetely try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
    If "My Computer" recognizes your iPod, then try performing the steps below:
    1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this article:
    Windows confuses iPod with network device / Changing drive letter
    I hope this helps you,

  • Why can't I sync my iPod to iTunes wirelessly?

    I have windows 7, the latest version of iTunes, an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5 installed.  I have checked the "sync iPod by wi-fi" and have synced the iPod whilst still plugged in, and I am on the same wireless network, I am plugged into a power source, and I have restarted the iPod, iTunes, and even the entire computer itself, and yet the device is still not recognized when not connected and I still cannot sync wirelessly. I can view and play shared files from my computer wirelessly, but I cannot sync or even be discovered wirelessly. I've read forum after forum, tried advice after advice (afore mentioned) yet nothing... What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do right?

    Yeah, same issue with me. Connected on the same network yet my iPod doesn't automatically appear in iTunes. So basically, we can't sync wirelessly on demand? What gives?

  • Why can't I sync my iPod touch with a new computer without deleting everything?

    I recently got a new laptop, but now when I try to sync my iPod touch, it says "The iPod "Jessica's iPod" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPod". I have authorized my computer, and when I try to authorize it again it says "This computer is already authorized".

    Maybe:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    One you sort the Authorization out you have to do the following to lose the content on the iPod

  • Why can't I sync my ipod with iTunes 7.0.2?

    I'm using itunes 7.0.2 and am having problems syncing my ipod. I have recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, including itunes. My whole library was lost. When I reinstalled itunes the library was empty and so it erased all the songs off my ipod when i connected and synced it. I later filled the library in the newly installed itunes and now when i want to sync the ipod it says "Songs on the ipod "XY" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist". I also can't update manually,so i'm basically left with a useless ipod.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,

      Windows XP  

    Thank you for your effort but when i create a new smart playlist and choose it as the playlist to sync to, i get the message "You changed your ipod settings. Would you like to apply them?" When i click APPLY, i get a new message, saying "The ipod "XY" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)." Also, my nano goes to charge mode (no "don not disconnect" sign) as soon as i get the old message "The ipod cannot be updated because the playlist no longer exist"...

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Classic?!

    When trying to sync my iPod classic iTunes says it cannot be synced because "the required folder cannot be found". I have a PC and I have no problems syncing my iPhone 5c and iPad 3. Is there anyway I can fix this?

    You may want to check ur settings. when you plug in ur ipod make sure it is highlighted then at the top of the page you will see tabs Summary Music Podcast Info....click on the MUSIC tab...in that box there will be 2 options:
    Sync Music
         Entire Music Library
         Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
    MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED OFF ENTIRE MUSIC LIBRARY
    I hope this works....Let me know

  • Why doesn't Notes sync?

    Shouldn't Notes sync between iPod touch and AppleMail? Or am I missing something?

    For whatever reason Apple hasn't (yet) built that functionality. 
    Please leave feedback and hopefully Apple will enable syncing with Mail in Leopard for the iPhone and iPod touch:

  • Why can't i sync my ipod along with ATV

    Every time i open itunes my apple tv syncs and will not allow my ipod to sync to the computer so i can update it. i think apple needs to make itunes where it can sync more than one device or can someone please tell me how to unsync apple tv so i can sync my ipod?

    That's not normal behaviour. I routinely sync my iPod and my ATV at the same time. They both show up under devices at the same time. I can't think what would cause this problem. I know, if I had the available USB ports, I could sync two iPods at the same time, too.
    Two basic trouble shooting steps (that may or may not be relevant but won't hurt) would be to repair permissions and trash the iTunes preferences file. You repair permissions by using Disk Utility (should be in your Utilites folder in your Applications folder). The iTunes preferences file should be in the Library/Preferences folder, I believe. It's called. com.apple.itunes.plist.
    It's a place to start.... I also agree that posting in the relevant iPod forum wouldn't hurt.

  • Why doesn't Wifi Sync work after updating ITUNE?

    Hello, I updated my Itune to 11.1.4.62 version.
    After updating, WIFI sync doesn't work anymore. I have to connect the cable to my laptop to sync it. Before this upgrade it was working fine.
    Now, I have Iphone 5. I run Windows 7.
    I did all the recommended trouble shooting.
    I disconnected the model and router and reconnected again.
    On Summary page the Wifi Sync is CHECKED
    I ran the diagnostic, but obviously it says iphone is not detected.
    I reseted my iphone.
    It still doesn't work.
    How can I solve this matter and why does Apple have so many irrtating problems like this?

    The passcode screen shows as usual but when I enter the passcode it says the passcode is invalid. This is the same passcode I have had for over a year, so I am sure I entered it correctly.  I stopped trying before the phone was disabled though.
    I've seen other similar posts but they mostly say connect it to my computer, start itunes, then restore. I haven't synced with itunes in a long time, not sure restoring it would be a good idea.  I back up to iCloud much more frequently but can't remember for sure when I last did that either.  I'm afraid of losing stuff in the process of restoring it.

  • Why can't I sync my ipod after the update?? (ios 5.1.1)

    Ok. So I upgraded my ipod to 5.1.1
    Few weeks after that, I tried syncing my
    music. It usually works, but it doesn't sync!!
    Is it the upgrade, or is there something wrong
    With my ipod?? Please help!!

    Any error messages?
    Do apps sync fine?
    Try the standard fixes:
    -Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Why doesn't my fifth generation ipod nano work with my Toyota Yaris?

    Hello – The charging feature on my new fifth generation ipod nano doesn’t work with the factory glove compartment adapter that came with my 2008 Toyota Yaris. It plays music, etc but does not charge the ipod when connected.
    My third generation nano charged perfectly with my yaris until it was run over and crushed recently. My nano gen 5 replacement doesn’t work the same with my Yaris. Can anyone help?

    I cannot say for sure, I don't know anything about the toyota yaris. However, if that system was built to work with older firewire based iPods, then it will not charge new USB based units. There are converters out there you can get do deal with this.

  • Why can't I sync my ipod after update

    After doing the latest update, my ipod, iPad and iPhone is no longer recognised in iTunes. None of the devices I have are connecting or showing in connected devices box, it is all greyed out. I have run the device test on iTunes but it says there is an error and it cannot find any connected devices. Please help, this update has driven me crazy as my iTunes and my devices always connected with no problems.

    What did the error message say?
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
