Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album.  So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device.  Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there.  Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem.  It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod.  Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

  • Really need help here!-Why won't all selected Photos sync to my iPod Touch?

    This is really a concern to me: I can only get about 9 months of my iPhotos to sync onto my iPod Touch - but with OS 2.x I could get all the photos-- used essentially all my free space.
    I just upgraded my first generation iPod Touch (Dec 2007) to 3.1.2 - OK WiFi and apps updates working fine- but as to syncing photos: I have 15,688 photos & videos from my cameras in my iPhoto library.
    I don't expect to have all the photos synced, but when I check last 12 months, only about 9 months is synced - 5899 photos and there is 4.9 gb of free space on my iPod Touch. With OS 2.x I could get more photos and it would go down to just a few mb of free space if I wished.
    What is going on here? Why so much free space and yet no more photos syncing? I tried to click ALL EVENTS and that simply erased all my 5899 photos and there were NO PHOTOS. So now I went back and requested last 12 months of events (about 138 separate events from end 2008 until present) - and again, exactly 5899 photos yet still some 33% of my iPod capacity is UNused?
    This is really a concern to me-- if a corrupted photo or event, then why did it work just last week when I was in iPod Touch OS 2.x?
    Thanks for any suggestions here. I'm trying manual syncs and other stuff - so far no luck.

    First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).
    BUT BUT-- problem not solved... Although I trashed that file and then re-synced my iPod Touch, it is still only going back to July 2009 with the events - not 12 months as I request; and none of the events that I checked prior to the previous 12 months are not on my iPod Touch, first generation running system 3.1.3 (7E18). I STILL HAVE 3.0 gb of available space on my iPod. Again, I never had this problem when 2.x was the OS for my iPod Touch.
    The number of events seems to be exactly 51 - is that perhaps a limit? I don't think it would be but when I look inside the iPod Photo cache folder, there are 51 folders (plus 2 other items) and the folders are numbered from F00 to F50.
    I would like to get to the bottom of this - not sure if I should start a new post or ??? Thanks again and any ideas or tests to run really appreciated!

    I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?

    Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

  • Problem when Syncing Music: Album Artwork Mixed Up on Ipod Touch

    I have a 64gb iPod touch, 4th generation. I sync my music over usb to the iPod through itunes with my entire library. Over the past year I have been having an issue where the music album artwork will be mixed up or sometimes dissapear/not show. Not all of my music does this, mind you, but only some of it. I have a lot of music so it's hard to say what percentage of it but it seems to be at random. I don't mean random as in it changes everytime but that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind which tracks/albums get their artwork mixed up. I have no videos on the ipod either.
    So I've tried many things. I've reset my iPod Touch, always made sure the music app didn't appear in the bottom tray after double clicking(when I sync) and even tried setting my library up on my new computer (it used to be on my old one). Also I've gone through my mp3 collection and cleaned and synchronized all of the tags(between albums, ID3v1 & ID3v2) and album artwork with Mp3Tag. Everything is flawless (I have OCD, hah). Also everything appears correct in iTunes and I'm only having the issue on my iPod touch.
    Here is a breakdown of what I've noticed but can't explain:
    1.Reset ipod, reinstall iOs,
    2.Sync library with iPod touch, everything is fine,
    3.Add a few more tracks to the iTunes library,
    4.Resync iPod Touch(here I've noticed something weird. Now the ipod resyncs some of tracks that are already on my iPod Touch and when I look at those tracks in the music app the album artwork is mixed up or sometimes gone.
    So I don't really know what to do. I've looked through every forum and website looking for a fix and tried everything I can think of or suggested so far. Any help would be appreciated. I should point out that this problem is merely cosmetic and all the tracks play fine. But I bought a $400 iPod Touch and it can't even do the one thing that made it famous properly. I don't know, these electronics are expensive and things like this are helping me to lose faith in Apple. I've already bought an android phone over lack of faith that the iPhone would display my music correctly. I know it seems silly but an organized library is important to how much I can enjoy my device.
    Thanks, hope you guys can help!

  • I bought two songs off itunes and they wont sync onto my ipod touch but they did sync onto my ipod classic.  I have tried all troubleshooting ideas to get the songs to sync on my ipod toch but nothing works. :(

    I bought some songs off of itunes and the songs synced onto my ipod CLASSIC but they didnt sync into my ipod TOUCH. I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing my laptop, updating softwares but nothing works. Anyone know why this is happening?!?!?!

    Hi,
    The songs need to be in the playlist(s) that go onto the ipod touch.
    Plug the ipod touch into the computer and go to the music section of it from the devices menu. From here make sure that the playlist(s) that go on to this ipod are the ones that have the new songs.
    Once this is done, click sync/apply.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why won't my album artwork for my purchases show in the album list?

    I've been tidying up my iTunes library and trying to get all my albums showing their artwork with it.  For some reason my purchased albums do not display their album artwork in the albums list, but if I click on the album the artwork displays then.  All of my music that has come from my own music collection displays the album artwork in the list and when I pull up the album.  How can I fix this?  It drives me nuts!

  • Why won't some track information sync to my iPod?

    Recently, my mom upgraded from her extremely old Sansa e250 to a 32GB iPod Touch. I'm helping her migrate her music over to her iPod. I copied her old Sansa's music onto my computer, which are all mp3 and mp4 files. I put these files into iTunes (on her laptop), and synced them over to her iPod. I then realized some files did not have album artwork, an album in the track info, and some other incorrect or missing details. So, I went into each track, corrected as necessary. Then, I ran a Get Album Artwork for all tracks, which it found for most of them. I went online to find the album artwork iTunes didn't have (some of the mp3s were ripped from old CD's, like George Clinton's Computer Games) and pasted it into track info. After the entire collection was ready to go, I synced again. I opened the Music app on the iPod, and I noticed that while the Apple artwork synced over, some track info that I edited, and the artwork I pasted in, did not. The music still plays fine, but it's kind of annoying when there's something missing or you see that music note. For example, one track was Supertramp's "Babaji". I entered in the album Crime of the Century for it. iTunes found the artwork for it, synced it over, but the album name did not. Any advice?

    First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).

  • Why won't Calendar and Contacts sync with my iPod

    Every time I try, my menu says no contacts available in this computer---despite having an address book full of them. Also my calender (iCal) no longer syncs with my iPod. Running 10.7.5 in my laptop and the latest (2.0.1) software in my 120 g

    My apologies for the previous incorrect solutions! What I have finally done to alter the Contacts group in the iPod (in my case an iPod Nano 4th Generation) with iTunes 11.x is the following:
    I connected the iPod as per usual and iTunes opens and the iPod shows up on the desktop. I then click on the iPod icon to open its folder which shows that there is a Contacts folder. Opening this I saw a Contacts file called 'iSync.vcf' which I moved to the Trash.
    I then went to Contacts (the actual app) and exported those vcards I wanted to be on my iPod. Since I didn’t need every card on my nano I did each card individually; if you want all the cards then just select all the cards you want to export (or make a new special group for the iPod) or command-A a group and then export these vcards, either directly to the iPod Contacts folder, or to a folder on the desktop from which you can later move the vcards into the iPod folder (in case you want to add or subtract cards). note: if you have exported a group of cards from Contacts you cant remove cards from it later)!
    To add vcards to the iPod from then on, just drag a new card, or an updated vcard, into the iPod Contacts folder - conversely to remove a contact, drag the card out of the folder.
    Hopefully this solves the problem. I’ve checked it out several times today with my iPod and it seems to work well.

  • Album artwork shown twice on iPod Touch

    The album artwork for a certain album is shown twice on my iPod Touch, with one song listed under one copy of the cover art and the rest of the album listed under another copy. This has happened once before on a different album as well. I checked the tag fields in iTunes and the only one was different, the genre field. I changed this, tried erasing the album from the iPod and re-syncing, but can't fix it. WTH?

    Son of a...! I figured it out. One album name had "Of" in it and the rest had "of". What a pain...

  • Why won't some songs play on 1st generation iPod Touch after paying to update to software version 3.1.3 (7E18)?

    This weekend I purchased the software update for the 1st generation touch from iTunes to update it to version 3.1.3.  Prior to the update, the iPod was still 100% working.  The only reason I paid for the upgrade was so I could get the App Store.  Since upgrading, approximately 50% of my songs won't play.  When the problem occurs, the album art will show up on the screen, but after a few seconds of silence, the "play" button pops up indicating that the song paused or stopped.  If I push play again, it looks like it will play for a second or two, but then it does the same thing.  Then if I skip to the next song, and its a song the iPod likes, I can hit play and that song will play without a problem.  All the songs on my iPod have been downloaded from iTunes or ripped from CD's I purchased, so it's not like I have a bunch of shady, corrupt music files.  I'm just frustrated because Apple wants to charge me for support since this is an older product.  However, the product was working fine until the other day when I PAID for their software update.  If anyone went through a similar issue and has info it would be much appreciated.

    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.

  • I can't get album artwork back in my iPod Touch

    I had to resync all my playlists, but now I can no longer see any of the album artwork on my iPod. Does anyone have an idea on how to get it back ? I'm using iTunes 8 and have the latest version of iPod software (2.2 I believe)

    Thanks for the reply. I actually got it working soon after I posted my question. It was wierd, I re-synched everything from scratch, and I got the artwork back, but it didn't correspond to any of the tracks. Then I re-synched everything from scratch again...I tried one playlist at a time, and everything seems normal again.
