How do I get album art in my ipad

How do I get missing album art in "my music" on my ipad? I've used the "cloud" to get my music on my ipad and some of the album art is now missing on the ipad music

Hi 123luckie!
In order to get album artwork on your songs in your iPad, you will first have to get the album artwork associated with the song in iTunes. I have an article for you that can explain this process:
Mac
iTunes 11 for Mac: Add artwork to songs and other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12161
Windows
iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
Personally, I think the best option is going to be found by following the last step in those articles:
Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.
You can also follow the steps in this article to get iTunes to download all of the album artwork for songs in your library that can be found in the iTunes Store:
iTunes: Album art may not download properly

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I can't synchronize album art on my iPad 2

My iPad2 doesn't synchronize album art. The songs have the album art in the "get info" option but it is in gray. Why is this happening? This occurs in the majority of the songs but not in all of them. What am I doing wrong?

All Apple servers are undergoing a huge number of hits. I think tomorrow or even the next day, all upgrade and activation servers will be in better shape. iPad servers may be more slammed just now
Any time millions of people want to do exactly the same thing online, there's always trouble, LOL.

TS1314 How do I get photos into albums on my new IPad mini?

The 364 photos successfully synced from my PC to the mini but they are not in albums. They ARE in albums in iTunes on my PC.
The users manual tells me to "tap albums" but I can't find "albums" anywhere.
tia for your help.

In the Photos app on the iPad there should be an Albums tab at the top middle of the screen (unless you are already in an album in which case there should be an Albums button top left to go back up a level).
And by albums in iTunes do you mean that you get the different photo folders on your PC shown there ? The folder to album relationship only works to one level, and photos that are in sub-folders will be included in the parent folder's album on the iPad.
If the photos haven't copied over correctly then you can delete the photo cache from your computer (it's location is mentioned on the page that you posted from) and you can then re-try the photo sync.

Hi, Does anyone know how to get all album art to import from Itunes.

My Itunes Library/Media states that all album art is present and accounted for but when I sync with Itunes half of my album art on the Ipad is blank.

Hi WIll_Maveric
To get album art to an album on iTunes:
Go to iTunes
Right Click on the album you want to get the art for
Click album artwork
If the songs/album can be found on the iTunes database it will add automatically
If the songs/album cannot be found on the iTunes database it will not add automatically, so I would suggest you go to the internet find the image.
Copy it and then go into iTunes
Right click on the album/song
Click on Get Info
Click on Artwork
Paste the image into the box (Command v) or (Control v)P
Then click OK
Go to your device and sync it again
You will have the artwork there.
Many Thanks for your question and allowing me to help you today.

IPod Classic Album Art Issues

I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
Any thoughts?

What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

Album art is not appearing on my iPad but appears when plugged into iTunes.

Hi everyone -
Having a major issue: I have about 8000 songs accumulated on my iPad Mini 3 with Retina display [running iOS 8.2] from my main computer in a different country. All my album art used to appear and everything was all well and good until I plugged my iPad into my MacBook Pro this morning to charge. While charging, I made one small spelling correction to an album error, at which point my iPad started to sync and then all the album art disappeared from my iPad. When I play the music in iTunes with my iPad connected, the album art appears in the small square at the top but whenever I play it on my iPad, there is no album art.
Is there a fix to this inconvenient issue? I'd appreciate your help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.

No album Artwork using iTunes Match on iPad mini

iTunes Match is enabled on my iPad mini (iOS 6.0.1), but no album artwork appears. My album artwork is synced with iTunes Match and appears on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1), but does not appear in the music app on my iPad. I have tried turning iTunes Match on and off, and have downloaded various albums successfully to my iPad, yet the artwork never appears. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Thanks!

Does this problem extend beyond Match users? I have been trying all kinds of ways to get our music onto my wife's Mini but the artwork just isn't coming across, for about 70% of the material in our iTunes library. We don't use Match.
I lost an immense amount of "Album Artwork" in the transition to iTunes 11, and had to reimport all that art one album at a time. I thought I had everything squared away after that, but when the music is copied to the Mini, artwork disappears again, and I can't find a way to "get album artwork" on the Mini itself.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

How do I copy just 1 album from my iMac to my iPad mini? I already have many albums there, but do NOT want to sync. don't want All of my pix there.

how do I add just 1 more album to my iPad mini from my iMac (10.8)?

You still have to sync the photos. Just select the photo albums that you want to sync to the iPad. You can include as many albums as you want and remove whichever ones you don't want to sync.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the folder from which you want to sync your photos - usually iPhoto on a Mac
Click on all of the albums that you want to include in the sync
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Any albums that you don't include in the sync preferences will be removed when you sync. So if you want to keep the albums that are already on the iPad, make sure that stay selected to sync.
If you are running iTunes 11 and do not see the sidebar and the iPad name under the devices heading - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.

How do I get rid of album art on iPad?

I upgraded to iOS 7.0.4 today, and I hate it. But what I hate most of all is that all my purchases had album art automatically downloaded for them, even though I intentionally delete all album art from every song I buy. I have no idea how to get rid of it from my iPad, and I'm afraid that when I sync to my laptop, it will get the album art too. I don't want often-ugly art attached to my music.

Well that's a new one.
No, that isn't something that is configurable. And in my experience, the only cover art the Music app picks up on its own, rather than the sync source, is for the Artist view. I could be wrong (like most of users on the planet, I do use and maintain cover art). But it is not likely to sync over to your laptop, either.

Album art missing under artists tab on iPad 2 running iOS 5

I restored my iPad 2 to iOS 5 as a new iPad. Everything synced fine the first time and all album art showed up perfectly, but when I synced a second time, for some reason my iPad ended up messing up all the album art in the music app, but only under the artists tab. I tried unsyncing all of the music, and then resyncing all of it again, but it did the same thing if I synced it again. Only 5 artists have album art showing, but the rest are blank, even though every single album in my music library has album art. The album art in the actual albums tab is fine. Here's a picture that shows what it looks like:

Yup, driving me mad! I use my Ipad2 for professional DJing but simply cant any more. It took me three days to re-organise all my music and albums and get all the artwork in. I made the MASSIVE mistake of clicking 'sync over wifi' in itunes and now half the album art is missing again. Every time I re-sync, different artwork appears and different artwork vanishes????
I have now wiped all my music and am re-syncing yet again to see if it works.
Does anyone from Apple exist and can explain what the heck is going on here as IOS 5 has rendered my device almost unusable for its main purpose. I have to say, I have gone from selling Ipads at all my gigs to telling everyone who comes up to have a look not to bother any more - its probably caused several hundreds of laughs already, not the kind of advert Apple wants I'm guessing????
