Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
Can Apple fix this problem?

Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80%  of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

  • Most of my album artwork is missing

    i have recently moved my itunes library from my family desktop to my laptop. i used my sister's ipod video as a harddrive for this, then reattached my ipod touch 2 the laptop, getting me my music again. but i have now discovered that some of the album artwork is missing from albums, particularly one's recently bought or burned. i have retrieved the album artwork from apple and it is showing on the laptop but not on the ipod. is there anyway i can get the album artwork back, as on an ipod touch the album artwork is a pretty big feature?

    To rectify the art on your touch do this:
    Try clicking "sync music" in iTunes to "off"
    then sync >>> all your music should disappear from the touch.
    Then click "sync music" to "on" and re-sync.
    it worked for me

  • Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

    Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode?  After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
    I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
    Any answers would help, thanks

    Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
    Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
    Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
    Apple...got any take on these matters?

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • Photos missing after updating to ios 5.5.1

    When the IOS 5.1.1 update became available a few days ago, I decided to update. Before doing that, I attached my iPhone 4 to iTunes and synced the phone. When that was complete, I initiated the update.
    Once the update was complete, I noticed that all of the photos and videos I had created since mid-March were missing. Are they stored on my computer from when I sync, and if so, how do I access them? Otherwise, why did this happen and how do I prevent it in the future?

    Well, it doesn't technically back them up, but rather puts them on the computer. You can access them in either iPhoto or in iTunes. If the photos are already on the computer, try syncing the iPhone and set it to Sync Photos and Videos in Camera Roll.

    Sorry for my english (O:

    I was having the same problem, I went to the "Apple Store" and a tech guy told me to back up everything on iTunes, and then load as a new phone.... Safari then worked... I then had to tell iTunes to reload all the apps and stuff on the new install... Don't know if this will help you, but I was having exactly the same problem with my Lotus notes webmail server.....
    Worked for me.

  • Iphone 4 information went missing after updating to iOS 7!

Is tree a way i can restore it back? I checked my iCloud and tunes but it isn't there! I have very important contacts tere that are all gone now!

    it's not really clear what you are trying to say. Are you restoring from an earlier back up.

  • Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

    Hi there,
    I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
    As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
    I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
    I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
    Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
    I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
    Any ideas?

    That happens sometimes
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      

  • Album artwork went missing but song details were updated

    need help to know what's the reason why a certain album artwork went missing when you have updated them before manually, via posting a jpg file and dragging them on to the artwork space.
    what i noticed whenever this happens all the other details such as song number and disc# and even the songwriters have been updated.
    also on the comment space displays something like this:
    0000047A 00000026 00005D13 00001BBB 00051243 0004071F 000080CF 00007EE2 0002DA82 00009478
    i am not sure what these codes are but it gets so annoying that you get to update the artwork everytime it goes missing.
    on the preference tab i unchecked 'automatically download missing artwork' but still something like connecting to internet automaticaly updates it.
    this happens to some albums only not all. i wonder if someone can explain and give solutions that it will not update any existing artowrk i have on itunes. thanks.

    am i the only one who's only having this problem? why is anybody not helping? thanks to answering my question.

  • Camera roll missing from iphone 4S after update to iOS 8

    camera roll missing from iphone 4S after update to iOS 8

    Hi,
    It's normal, it's replaced with another folder.
    and now you can recuperate your deleted pictures from a folder or after 30 days they will be deleted.

  • After updating to iOS 5, the Photo album stopped working.

    After updating to iOS v5, my iphone 4S's built-in Photo app stopped working.
    The Camera takes a photo, but the photo disappears from the camera roll and shows no photos in the photoalbum.
    My iPhone used to take photos so, I don't believe it is a hardware issue.
    Is anyone having the same problem?
    Would there be a update of the v5 to solve this issue?

    I figured it out.
    In my case, I just needed to restore my phone to the factory setting.
    My iphone = iphone 4 running iOS v5
    My computer = iMac
    Software didn't work = preinstalled "Photos" app
    Symptoms = after I take a photo, the image thumbnail of the camera roll shows the image, but images are found neither in the camera roll nor in the albums of the "Photos".
    Solution procedure:
    connect the iphone to iMac
    in the Summary window of the devices, click "Restore"
    choose not to save the backup file
    choose to restore the iphone as a "NEW" device instead of choosing a backup files*
    follow the rest of instructions.
    It helped and now I can view my photos in the photo album.
    * However, I accidentary re-restored it with a saved backup file and the "Photos" application stopped working again. I repeated the resotre procedure avoiding the accidental restoration to a backup file.
    The camera and the photos were working before iOS v5 update, and it is now working again. So, it is obviously not the hardware issue. It seems that iOS v5 and the Photos are having compatibility issue Apple should look into this issue.

  • My iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?

    my iphone 5 has restored to an old backup after updating to ios 7 is there any way of getting my stuff back as this has now become the most recent back up?
    also since the update it keeps resetting itself? i had a lot of stuff on there that i really wanted and alot of important info lost? please help!!

    You might be able to remove the recent backup from the backups folder and the old one should be usable at that point
    USE EXTREAME CAUTION WHEN ACCESS THE FILES AND DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • HT4972 Retrieving albums after updating to ios 5

    Is there anyway of retrieving albums after updating to ios 5. my photo albums were synced with an external hard drive which was stolen. after updating to ios 5 all my albums were lost. Is there a way of retrieving them? Please help.

    If you failed to maintain a backup copy of your pics, then they are gone.
    Sorry.
    Pics synced to your iphone form your computer are not part of the backup that itunes performs at all.
