Can’t get Album art on your iPod/iPhone? I’ll show you how…

Recently, I synced my iPhone 3G to a new computer.

I copied my music onto that computer, but when I synced it to my iPhone, there was no album art, even though it was there on iTunes.

I googled the problem, but it didn’t return much help – so I decided to write a blog post on it…..might help somebody in the future

I spent some time having a fiddle about with iTunes settings etc., but I eventually found the solution.

Here’s what to do, if iTunes is not transferring album art to your iPhone/iPod:

1) Make sure your device is plugged in to your computer, and make sure iTunes has detected it.

2) Go to the section relevant to your device in iTunes, and click the ‘Music’ tab.

3) Uncheck the ‘Sync Music’ box, and you will be prompted to confirm this – Just click ‘Don’t Sync Music’, then click ‘Apply’.

4) iTunes will now have erased all music and playlists on your iDevice – if it hasn’t, go ahead and Sync it.

5) Go back to the music tab again and re-check that box, then hit Apply.

6) iTunes will now re-sync all your music back on to the iDevice, and you can happily listen with album art, cover flow etc.

Hope it helps
