Album Artwork iPad IOS 6 update

After updating to IOS 6 my album artwork is not showing in iTunes on iPad. Any Suggestions?

OK - Here is the fix if you are NOT using iTunes Match:
Delete all of your iTunes music from your iPad/device. The simple process is to uncheck Sync Music in iTunes on your computer. If you have some audio books either downloaded from iTunes or ripped from a CD, you may have to delete them from your iPad manually. Go to iPad/device Settings > General > Usage > Storage/Music. It may take a moment to come up as the OS seems to be calculating the amount of data that is being used by apps/files. Click on music and you will have to delete each one manually. Some devices may allow you to delete the entire music library all at once: http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/18/remove-all-music-from-iphone-ipod-touch-ipad/
Once this is done, check Sync Music in iTunes on your computer or if you select your music manually then do that. Most if not all of the album artwork will come back. Check your device for missing artwork. Once you know what they are, find the artwork you want to use online or if it exists on your computer use that. Save them in a file you can locate easily. Go back to iTunes on your computer select the artist/album that is missing on your device, you may find that the album art is already there, ignore it. At this point I would suggest using the cover flow with the list of artists/albums underneath. Highlight the entire album, right click, select get info, in the right corner you will see album artwork. Double click this and it will automatically bring up finder. Select the proper album cover for the artist and save. This will change the art work to your saved file. Do this until you are done, blue in the face, torn most of your hair out or until you are satisfied. Sync your music again and that should work.
I'd like to personally thank apple for making me waste my time....
Hope this works! My artwork is back and looks great.

Ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5

ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5 upgrade. After the first Sync, 90% of my albums had blank covers.

I had the same starting with taking 3 times synchronisation before my music library was visible on the Ipad-2. Though during synchronisation I saw the tracks being updating, they were nowhere to find . After a manual sync through devices->NNNipad->music and checking the entire music libary, I got my music libary back with the exception of roughly 10% of the artwork was not transferred. It is not related to manual added artwork as most of them are correctly transfered.
Checking the through info on the albums I found the following issue:
In the past i_tunes kept the artwork related to the album, now it keeps it attached to the several tracks. So when in I-tunes right clicking an album and selecting "info" you will find no artwork there. But when selecting a track and right clicking it (choose again "info" here it is you will find the artwork. The missing artwork in iOS5 is related to the fact that in the library on my computer the albums had artwork, but the tracks were not showing it. Adding again (with i-tunes 10.5) the artwork and re-sincing solved the problem for me.
I hope this will help you, Hedzer

No album artwork after IOS 8.1.2 update

after updating to IOS 8.1.2 on my iPhone 5 all my album artwork in my music has disappeared. I have tried connecting it to iTunes and hitting get artwork but it still doesn't work.

I signed out of my apple id under settings on my phone, and then signed back in and all the artwork is back.

IPad iOS update problem

When I try to update my iPad iOS to v4.2 I get a message saying,
"iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup could not be saved on the computer"

What has worked for some others has been to delete the existing backup file. You can delete it from iTunes>Preferences>Device Tab. However, as insurance, I would make a copy of the file before deleting it. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Original IPad iOS update

Does anyone know if/when they are planning an iOS update beyond 5.1.1 for original iPad. I have both iPad and iPad air, would like to continue to use both, but AppStore is severely limited for under 6.0

Hi,
Put simply, the original iPad (and all non-updated iOS devices) probably don't have the power to use the new operating system (e.g. iOS 7). They probably won't be planning it, as it has been over a year, but I hate to say the rules state you cannot speculate on Apple policies or decisions.
Hope this helps!

Is it possible to remove the album artwork in iOS 7's music app?

I can only view 4 artists at a time when I sort my music in the iOS 7 music app by artist. Before, I could see more artists at a time, making it quicker and easier to find the music that I want while on the go. Also, when I finally find the artist that I want to listen to, my music is automatically sorted by album, giving me no option to view all the songs without the annoying album art. Apple took something that was very simple, and made it more complicated time consuming.
Is anyone aware of any options/settings that I may have overlooked that could solve my problem?

To remove the album art, select all tracks in the album and Get Info. Check the box next to the Artwork field, hit delete and close the window. This should delete the artwork.

Can't sync photo albums to iPad after update

I just updated my ipad2 to 5.0, and am running the current version of iTunes on a windows vista pc. And can not sync my photo albums to my iPad 2. Please help? I tried and while in iTunes , when iPad is connected, the summary page says my photos are on the iPad, they are not actually on the iPad. I go to photos on the iPad and there are outlines of the albums with their names on them, but no pictures inside. Can anyone help please?:)))

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

HT5262 IPad IOS Updates?

I have an IPad and IPhone 4S. My IPad has IOS5.1.1 on it. My Iphone has IOS6.1 on it. I can't figure out how to upgrade my IOS for my IPAD even though my IPAD says that I have the latest IOS on it. Some of my apps on the IPad won't update because my IOS hasn't been upgraded. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Is sound like you have a first generation iPad, in which case it is up to date. The original iPad doesn't support iOS 6.

Ipad ios update is hanging

I am updating an ipad mini to ios8.1.3 via wifi. The install is locked at about 90%. What can I do at this point?

You can try to restart the iPad and see if that helps it continue or start over. If not, hook it up to a computer with iTunes to update.

HT4623 lost data iPad ios update

Bonjour,
J'ai mis à jour l'IOS de mon IPAD de 3 à 5 et j'ai perdu toutes les données.
J'avais une sauvegarde, mais mon ipad ne la reconnait plus.
Merci de vos conseils.

If you no longer have that backup, then you can't restore from it.
Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. if you see a recent backup in that window you can restore from it. If you have a backup, clock on Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK.
Connect your iPad to your computer and it should appear in the left sidebar. If you don't see the sidebar go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top. Right click on the iPad name under Device and select - Restore from Backup.

How can I transfer my iOS update to another iPad?

How can I transfer my iPad iOS update download to my wife's computer so that she can update without having to download the update all over again?

Ok, on your computer, navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
(Note this is usually a hidden location, so choose the Go menu in the Finder, hold down Alt and you'll see Library appear. Select this).
In the iTunes/iPhone Software Updates folder you'll find the iOS update download (.ipsw file). Copy this to your wife's computer. Connect her iPad, open iTunes,
In the Info pane for her iPad, hold Shift and click on Update and then browse to and select the .ipsw file you copied over. iTunes will then use this locally stored file instead of re-downloading it again.

Album Artwork Disappearing / Can't be updated.

Hello All,
I recently noticed that my songs have been slowly losing their artwork. Upon further inspection (and forum searching), I've found that this problem has happened to many people.
For the songs with the missing album artwork, I cannot update the songs with new artwork (from both the popup and get info-> album artwork) views. It acts as though iTunes cannot write to the file. I have tried changing the ID3 tag from version 2.4 to 2.3; again, with no success.
I checked the permissions on the file (originally 644) and changed them to a whopping 666; but still, no writes by iTunes.
Does anyone have any other information as to what is going on here? My iTunes version is 7.4.2(4). Reloading my library is not a plausible solution.

I'm still experiencing the album artwork disappearing, however I have figured out a work-around for songs that you cannot 're-add' album artwork to:
1) Try re-adding the song first (alt-click on song, click 'get info', click 'show in finder', then drag back into library).
2) If that doesn't work, re-converting the music (advanced -> convert selection to MP3) should properly re-encode the file (use lossless compression, otherwise your mp3 will deteriorate).

Can't add Album artwork to certain files.

Hi, I've come across an anomaly in iTunes. There are certain audio files that cannot, for any reason update album artwork. I update album art work but selecting the file in iTunes then "get info" -> "add album artwork". But on certain files these tabs, as well as lyrics, are greyed out. The audio files are ACC 128bits. The only thing I found in common with the files that won't get album art work or lyrics is that they were encoded with iTunes 4.7. The only fix I can see is reconverting them in another version of iTunes, but this seems like a really dumb fix. Mostly I'm just wondering if there are any other people that have this problem and what fix you came up with, or what would cause a specific version of iTunes to not allow artwork.

Instead of opening the album under "Get Info" and going into the Artwork tab, try clicking on the square box with a triangle in it located on the bottom left side of the iTunes window. This will display the ablum artwork inside the side bar. Click on the top of the album artwork box where it says "Now Playing" and it will change into "Selected Item". Select a song you're trying to get the album artwork for and see what it says in the box. If it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" then you might have a problem with the kind of file the music is. Granted, this shouldn't be any different than going into "Get Info" and trying it there, but at least this way you can tell for sure what the issue is. If the box says "Drag Album Artwork Here" then go ahead and drag the picture there and it should work. Sometimes checking the album artwork box helps you more understand what the issue is. Hope this helps!

ITunes displays new Album Artwork but wont transfer all artwork to iPod?

I have manually updated my iTunes library to show the new full resolution album artwork, but after updating my iPod almost half of the images didn't transfer to iPod?

If itunes decides that the ipod can't play a vid it won't send it. The ipod won't necessarily play every mp4 video, the specs are:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
Try right clicking on one of the bad vids in itunes and select "Convert to ipod format" - this should make it ipod compatible.
