lilSoldier Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi, I'm having a problem with my iPod Classic (6G) 80GB. Basically, what happened was I added music to my iPod, and some of the album artwork was just black. So, to resolve it I unchecked the "Sync Artwork" box, applied, ticked it again and applied. However, after applying for the second time, I got an error along the lines of "There has been an Unknown error (-50)" Now, it will only add artwork up to that point, which results is a lot of it being missing, or not at all. Any help with fixing this will be greatly appreciated! (BTW, I CAN'T afford to do a complete restore, as I have to delete videos off my laptop hdd as it is smaller than my ipod, so if I did a restore, I would lose all of these) Thanks!

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Have you tried re-applying the artwork to each of the songs? (You can still select by album, don't worry) I know it's a tedious job, but there may be no other way Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109207-ipod-album-artwork-problem/#findComment-774026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilSoldier Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 First of all, thanks for your reply! I can give it a go, but it'll be a whole days work, I have over 3700 songs! Is there anyway of repairing the artwork database on the ipod or something? Thanks!

I had the same prob - lots of nasty black icons - now I've got great art for all of it...
