After IOS 8 Upgrade my movie icons disappear

This is on my first edition iPad Mini.

I think I have found the problem after checking a number of other threads.  It appears that the reason that my icons or thumbnails have disappeared is because I had formatted all my cover art work to be square (usually 500 x 500 pixels).  When I looked at the artwork for some of my movies from the iTunes store (which did appear), I found that they all had artwork of 667px wide x 1000px high.  When I reformatted one of the missing icons to this aspect ratio, and substituted it for a square one (using Get Info), iTunes resynced the movie and hey presto, the thumbnail appeared again on my iPad.  So I tried various combinations and it seems that as long as the aspect ratio is rectangular and about 2:3 (w x h), then the artwork will transfer.  Have tried it for several movies, and it has worked every time.  I also found that if I wanted my own "Home Videos" to show up in Movies, then I had to make an icon for them in the right ratio and then they appear.  In Home Movies, they will appear without any change but if you have done the change of Media Kind in Get Info to shift those so-called Home Movies (anything not bought from the Apple Store) into the Movies area then you need to go through this process.
What a pain.  For some reason Apple have decided in IOS 8 that icons not formatted to a new format won't appear.  What was good in everything up to IOS 7 is now broken.  Nice of them to tell us!!  Now all we have to do is reformat all our artwork for every movie taken from our own DVDs and resync every one.  For some people this should only be a few hundred hours of work!!
Hope this assists others.  Can't say I am impressed with Apple but I guess that I am not alone in that matter at the moment!

  • IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade

    After IOS 8 upgrade many aplications ( Safari, Facebook, etc) load  very, very slow (comparing with 7 version) , with a significant delay of more than 10 seconds...
    Who can I solve this problem? Any workaround?
    PD
    Apple should better test the software before delivering.
    Thanks.

    Here's the list of the most annoying issues that affect me since updating my iPad 2 64GB w/Cellular iPad to IOS 8:
    EXTREMELY SLOW - When opening apps, or switching between them - We are talking just the built-in apps. Mail, Safari, Settings....
    Extremely slow Wi-Fi AND broadband. The Wi-Fi is the worst though. Horrible. Page load times are 2 to 4x slower than my wife's iPad.
    Battery life reduced by at least 25%. Used to make it all day long, now I am having to plug it in.
    Heat - It is working so hard that the processor is heating up. That can't be healthy for it, and surely the majority of the power issues stem from this.
    Copy/Paste not functioning correctly between browser windows. Oh this is frustrating. I just want to paste the URL of one website I am on to Facebook, for instance. Even though I COPY, it's pasting in info I clipped a earlier in the day to one browser tab, but if I open another one, it will paste the correct information. You never know what you are going to get.
    Cannot post a photo to facebook by hitting the camera icon when leaving a reply or making a post (using web browser version)... It starts the upload, then just stops. I *CAN* go to photos, then SHARE it to facebook, but that doesn't allow me to post a photo along with a reply.
    Multiple app crashes per day. This I can deal with. It's nothing new, it's just more frequent. Safari and Mail seem to be the major culprits. It wouldn't be so bad except it takes 2-4 seconds to reopen the crashed app. Sometimes as much as 10 seconds.
    And that's just the annoying ones....

    This must have sone something as now everythign works fine. all radio and music apps now play through the JBL.
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes taking more time to Sync after IOS 6 upgrade

    itunes taking more time to Sync apps data after IOS 6 upgrade in iphone 4s. Also itunes is getting hanged and is very slow. I tried twice and still having the same issue.

    I also noticed that. Even with a cable connection. Just a small pdf file hangs forever.
    Forever ... 12/15 seconds maybe? It's a long time really, for such a small sync.
    File transfer not so much! That behaves normally here, as one would expect with iOS5 and previous versions before iTunes 10.7.
    It's the first steps. Doing whatever it is doing. Those are definitely slower now. It takes a while until it starts the actual transfer.

  • Can't sync audiobooks after IOS 5 upgrade.

    After IOS 5 upgrade I am unable to Sync my iphone 4 either by WiFi or connected via USB.
    Itunes becomes un responsive after "Determining tracks to sync".  Have been able to sync only after disabling Audiobooks sync.
    SO far have done the following.
    - Changed the USB cable
    - Re "Keep Library Origanized"
    - Created new playlist with 1 audiobook.
    Itunes crashes everytime.
    Have been able to sync my ipad 2 & nano with no issues.
    Anyone have any ideas before I toast my iphone & start from scratch?

    Nothing syncs if I have sync audiobooks turned on.
    First I didn't know what the problem was and I even wiped my iPhone and started from scrach (what a pain it was).
    Nothing. No music, no Apps, no ringtones, no audiobooks.
    I installed some apps via the app store, and some audiobooks with audible app.
    But the rest still didn't work.
    Then I clicked "Tranfer purchases from ...'s iPhone" on iTunes and some of my music and ringtones started to transfer to the iPhone!! Partially. I had to click it again to get the rest of the music and ringtones. But the audiobooks didn't transfer. Not even from a playlist.
    After I unchecked Sync Audiobooks, I managed to get some apps transfered to the iPhone but they're still "Waiting" not "Loading." Every time I click on sync a little bit of the apps transfer, but then their status goes back to "loading."
    My biggest problem is that I have non Audible audiobooks. These I don't know how to put in the iphone.

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), and release.  If that doesn't work, connect to iTunes, go to the Summary tab and Restore.
