I know this is an older thread but when searching for a solution this thread helped in which direction to go,
First off the problem is not the Ipod, it is the Itunes software (at least it was for me). The first Ipod 7th generation I bought had an internal flaw and no matter what I did I could not get the Album art to show on my AVH-P4400BH. So I exchanged the Ipod for another one and found that the new one worked right off the bat, no problems. A month later after I synched some new music all of the album art went away when connected to the to the AVH. I tried everything to get it working again but no avail,
Then I downgraded the Itunes software from 10.6.1 to the Older 64Bit Windows version, 9.2.1 that can be downloaded from apple here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
Once the ipod reformatted I decided to manually sync the music, pictures, and podcasts by draggigng and dropping to the Ipod icon, and it has been working flawlessly. All of the artwork shows up on the AVH without a problem.
Hopefully this helps someone, I know the 10.6.1 Itunes software is nicer but it is missing something when it comes to embedding the art work for the MP3's.
