Why won't downloaded artwork transfer to iPod?

Hi all!
I am having a problem where artwork that I downloaded through iTunes is not transferring to my 80GB iPod. This applies only to artwork that I have downloaded from iTunes. Artwork that I have manually put in transfers and displays just fine. The artwork is showing up in iTunes and when I transfer it to iPod, the artwork is gone. I've already done the basic stuff ('display album art' is checked, the artwork shows up in iTunes when I look at the song info, but not on the iPod), so has anybody else had this problem and solved it? I'm thinking its some lame copyright restriction thing, but I haven't found anything official from Apple pertaining to this.

Hmmm. . . does that include artwork that you downloaded using iTunes for songs that you did not buy on iTunes? That is my specific issue. Songs that I bought on iTunes transfer with the artwork just fine. Its songs that I ripped from a CD that I later added the artwork to using iTunes' 'Download Album Art' feature that I have a problem with. I guess I should have been more clear.

Why won't album artwork show on ipod touch 4g?

My itunes vers 10 is showing all of my cover art. I have gone thru each track and made sure the artwork is attached to each track however only a fraction of the artwork shows on my ipod touch after syncing. I have tried to reboot ipod to no avail. Per other message board posts I have looked for a box to check which reads "Display album artwork on ipod" but I see no such button under Preferences nor on the Music tab when ipod is connected. Pls advise. Thx!

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ad mini

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

David, the camera shoots .mov files. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed but still nothing.
I teach high school, but I'm reluctant to download FCPX for my students at the moment. I may try it but I really want to stick with what we're using currently, at least for now.
iMovie started to import files, but very slowly. I guess I'm frustrated that the files shot on the Canons I also use transfer just fine, but the Aiptek camera isn't cooperating.
Would you suggest using MPEG Streamclip?
Thanks again in advance.

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Because it requires iOS 7 or newer, and the fourth generation iPod touch can't run a new-enough iOS version. If desired, click here and follow the instructions.

My iTunes won't download music to my iPod Touch 5th Generation

I just recently bought some CD's, and I have found that my iTunes program won't let me download them to my iPod. I believe I have a 5th generation iPod Touch, and I have a Windows Vista... I don't know if it's because I updated to the newest iTunes version(12.0.1) and the latest ios for my iPod, but I've never had the problem of not being able to download songs to my iPod before... When I try to move the songs from my iTunes to my iPod, there is a blue highlight around my playlists, but not around my iPod... On iTunes, I do have the option to "manually manage music and videos" checked off. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! (And I don't know what this is, I've tried to fix it but it still comes up, there is an error message when I start iTunes that says "iTunes has detected that it is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Programs control panel to fix this?" Could someone please help me with this as well?)

Why won't apple flag a stolen iPod

Why won't apple flag stolen iPods that are registered? I was told that due to reset my dons iPod is likely just gone.
Seems like if it is reported and then someone tries to register under a different name, they could report it

Your best thing is to do as ingo says, report your thoughts to Apple. I don't disagree with you that they could do more...but doing more has to be their decision. And to get them on the road to a decision, they need to 'officially' know there's people wanting it. they don't know anything officially from the forum. Feedback, however, is counted and read and tallied up.

Why won't my pictures transfer from my laptop to my ipad air (PNG and JPEG)

Hi,
I have a 16GB ipad air running iOS 8.1.2 and I have 11 pictures which I need putting onto my ipad so I can use them for my GCSE coursework video which I am using iMovie to do so.
I did the following steps and every time I get a pop up error message saying "the pictures cant be copied because the device has either been disconnected or has stopped responding"
1) open the list of pictures I want putting onto my ipad in windows explorer
2) plug my ipad into the computer using the USB cable included in the box when bought
3) go to: - Internal Storage
- DCIM
- File Folder
4) select all 11 pictures that I want to transfer and drag and drop on the File Folder
5) error message appears here
These steps work when transferring to my iPod touch 4 running iOS 6.1.2 or my old iPod touch 2 running iOS 2
If anyone knows why this happens or what i can do to transfer the pictures it would be a massive help and would be muchly appreciated
Thanks in advance

You can sync them via your computer's iTunes : connect the iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and then select its Photos tab :
And on that tab select the folder that the photos that you want to copy are in and sync/apply that selection to your iPad.
To remove the photos from the Photos app you will need to do similar to above, but select and sync an empty folder (you can't delete synced photos directly in the Photos app, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync).
Or you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app

Why won't the apps on my ipod touch work?

Why won't my computer recognize my ipod when I try to restore it?

I've had a problem with my ipod saying "do not disconnect". I've gone through every step to no avail. When I tried to restore the ipod and launch the updater, it's telling me it "can't mount ipod". My usb port is fine and the computer recognizes the fact that something is plugged in, but isn't recognizing the ipod. (It still says do not disconnect) The only other thing I can think of is that it might be the cord, but we were able to use it once (only once!!!) and download music. It hasn't worked since.

You must mean Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player. Get the latest versions here:

Why won't some photos copy to iPod from iPhoto?

I created a folder of favorite pictures in my iPhoto specifically to be set to music in slideshow on my iPod. But of the 65 photos in the original iPhoto folder, only 52 appear on my iPod. (I've tried syncing the entire folder several times--with the same result.) What could be the reason that iPod won't accept so many of the iPhoto pictures?

For photos try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Why won't album artwork import from a CD into Mac iTunes?

I used to have a Windows version of iTunes, and when I imported CDs, the album artwork was automatically added. However, now I'm using Mac iTunes on an iBook, and when I import the very same CDs, no album artwork is added on any of them. I've also noticed that when I transfer the archived songs from the Windows hard drive (via a flash drive) to the Mac iTunes, the artwork is there -- it's just not adding the artwork when I import the CDs directly into Mac iTunes. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Standard Audio CDs don't come with artwork.
Some recent CDs might, but I've never seen them.
I guess there was an iTunes plug-in or similar utility on your PC that searched for artwork and added it.
To add artwork on a Mac there are several scripts (www.dougscript.com) and programs that can find it for you.
Search on versiontracker.com for Clutter, iTunescool, Fetch Art
