Why doesn't my artwork go with the songs when I transfer them?

If I make a playlist from songs on my PC and these all have artwork then transfere said playlist to my phone the artwork doesn't follow.
Is there any good reason for this?
Thanks
Edward.

*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 artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one 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 in 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. 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 (Option-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.
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 you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*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, 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.

  • Why can I no longer scroll with the mouse when using Pages?

    A few days ago, I realized that I am unable to scroll within a Pages document with the mouse.  The scroll bar is not there.  The scroll feature works fine, and after trying to figure this out myself with no success, I thought I'd ask here.  I have Pages '09 and I'm using OS X 10.9.5.

    Thanks.  That's not the problem.  Scrolling works in everything else except Pages.  I used to be able to scroll just by using my finger up or down on the mouse.  Now, I can't do that.  I tried setting the scroll bars to "Always", but then I have to physically click on the scroll bar and move it up and down.  Not like it's that much hassle, lol, but I got used to just scrolling with my finger on the mouse.

  • The iPad 2 has the same exact hardware as the iPhone 4S. So why doesn't it get Siri with the new update?

    Well i'm just generally curious and a bit upset that ipad 2 will not be getting Siri after updating to iOS 6. I though it was because the new ipad was faster and ipad wasn't capable enough but later i found out that iPhone 4S will get the new Siri when it has the same chip A5 plus the ipad 2 's cpu is 1GHz whil the iphone 4S 's is 800MHz. I'm honestly not complaining. Apple never said at the time i bought my ipad 2 that it would get Siri, but i am curious...someone please answer.

    Actually, it is not the same hardware. The A5 chips are different. The iPad 2's doesn't include a noise canceling function that the newer iPhones and the New iPad do.

  • I can only access saved photos in PSE, they are on my hard drive but I can't have them printed and can only look at them in PSE! Why can't I do anything with the photos after I worked them up and saved them?

    Why can't I access my worked up saved photos only in PSE? It won't let me have do anything with them only in PSE I can't even send them to be printed!!!!!

  • Why can't I see videos taken with my iphone when I transfer them to my pc.

    This was not a problem until I upgraded the software.

    Honestly, it's a bit hard to say.  No need to be quite so stingy with information.
    As a conundrum, I'd guess that some of your images have off-line Masters.  Aperture cannot export images with off-line Masters.

    Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod.  For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

    Some apps require updating when a new operating system comes out. Check with the developers of the apps you're having problems with and see if they have an update or workaround.

  • Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

    Hi,
    I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
    Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
    With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
    although the Gibson-App works)?
    Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
    Thanks
    Michael

    I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5.  If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
    From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
    Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

  • Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD

    Our household now has two x Toshiba laptops, both of which were supplied with MS Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
    The nature of the Recovery Media provided with these machines is such that (a) we do not have sufficient flexibility over volume/partition sizes, program locations etc., and, more specifically.
    It makes it necessary for the majority of the bundled software (Norton Security etc.,) to be installed by default in the event of a system failure. (And immediately uninstalled following recovery! An unnecessary waste of time.)
    Bearing in mind that a proportion of the price paid for each laptop must have included a cost for the Vista Operating System, does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a Master Recovery disk which ONLY consists of the operating system, and which allows us the flexibility of configuration which used to be available when the OS was purchased as a separate product.
    Additionally, please let me know if it is possible to purchase Toshiba laptops as a RAW machine, i.e no OS supplied, and I will then buy my own and cut out the rubbish which is supplied on the pre-installed media.

    >Why Toshiba notebooks are not delivered with the common Vista install CD?
    The answer is very simple: software is bundled to hardware and when you buy notebook you buy license for preinstalled Vista version and you can install recovery media so often you want and it belongs JUST to your notebook model. It cannot be used with other notebook or PCs.
    If you get usual Vista installations DVD it can be installed on each computer system. For such purposes you must buy Microsoft installations DVD.
    As you already wrote Toshiba recovery image contains much software that can be not useful for you. You can remove it from the system and nobody force you to use them. I do the same.
    After clean OS installation the first thing I do is to remove or software I don't need or I don't like.
    I optimise preinstalled OS on my own.

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • Why can't I record calls with the iPhone?

    Hi,
    Why can't I record calls with the iPhone? Every other mobile can! That's quite pitty ...!

    Nonsense. There are many places where you are not allowed to take photos or video but those functions are included. Apple assumes no responsibility for them. Apple would not be responsible for managing the recordings on the phone either. It's most likely because Apple is located in California and in THAT particular state, both parties have to be informed of the recording. Most states do not require that. If Apple were located in another state (e.g. Alaska) there would be no restriction.
    All the apps that record calls store those recordings in their servers and charge you a fee. It would be preferable to have the calls stored only on the phone so no one else could access them. The iPhone has the technological capability; we have just been restricted from having this functionality without paying a 3rd party.

  • How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album

    How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually.
    I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work
    Look forward to hearing from you

    "How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually."
    That suggests some underlying issue, as iTunes has always (AFAIR) allowed artwork to be assigned with multiple tracks in a single action.  For an album, right-click on the album, select Get Info, select the Artwork tab.  You then have three options:
    If the artwork image exists as a file, click the Get Artwork button, browse to and select the file, then click Open.
    Drag and drop the image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab (previous releases also allowed drag and drop from a web browser, this functionality is missing - either by design or as the result of a bug - in iTunes 12).
    If you've copied the artwork image to the clipboard, press Ctrl-V on the keyboard to paste in the image (prior to the 1st release of iTunes 12 this could also be done using right-click > Paste - hopefully this will be restored as a bug-fix in the next update)
    "I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work."
    There are three possible causes for this:
    The format of your media files doesn't support embedded artwork - specifically, uncompressed audio in WAV format.  You'll need to convert to Apple Lossless (without loss of quality) or either MP3 or AAC (if you're OK with lossy media) before artwork images can be associated with your media.
    Windows' permissions are preventing your media files from being updated when iTunes attempts to embed the images (in a perfect world iTunes should report this as an error, but it actually does nothing).  To check this, find the folder that contains media of interest in Windows Explorer (by default this will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name), right-click and select Properties, Security tab - check that your Windows user account has full control over the folder.
    The media files that you're trying to add artwork to may be set to read-only in Windows. Select the folder as before in Windows Explorer, right-click > Properties and make sure that the Read-only flag is cleared.
