Artists & photos missing?

I have music that I know is on my Nano, but there is no listing for the artist. The album titles show up, but not the artist names in the artist list. They were listed under artist name on my Nano previously, and now they're gone. My photos seem to be gone, too.
I have not deleted anything from iTunes, and when I connect my nano, in itunes, it shows these "missing" artists as being on my ipod.

I figured the problem out. What happened was, the two missing artist names were filed under compilations, for some reason. I highlighted the entire album in itunes & turned the "part of a compilation" option to "no."
Also, if anyone else has this problem, it might help to go into "settings" on your ipod, and make sure the compilations option is switched to off.
I still never figured out why my photos disappeared and then reappeared.

Artist photo missing from some artists

I recently realized that the music artists on my iPhone(5s) have pictures of themselves. But not all of them. Sometimes, at first they don't have a picture (it just shows the album artwork) but it appears after some time. What should I do if I want all the artists to have pictures of themselves not albums artwork?
P.S I have some indie-underground artists that have pictures, and, for example, some artists that have a wikipedia page and still their pictures are missing

A response on this subject from another post:
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

Aperture album contents not all showing on Apple TV photos; random photos missing

Only noticed this problem by chance when searching for a particular set of photos while viewing Aperture photos via an Apple TV 2. Some Albums are fine others have a random number of photos missing (compared with viewing in Aperture itself) with as little as one photo being shown when there are hundreds in the Album. Any suggestions/ideas as to whether the problem may a set up issue or systematic?

You may not have previews built for the photos that are not showing up. Select all the pictures in the Album that is not displaying all photos, right click while holding the mouse over one of the selected photos, and then select "update previews". After Aperture has built previews for all the photos in that album, you may have to quit Aperture before they will all show up on the AppleTV (when you quit Aperture you will see a progress bar saying "updating sharing preferences", or something to that effect).
If there is a way to get Aperture to update sharing preferences without quiting, will someone reply to the method to achive this? So far, quiting is the only way I have discovered to force Aperture to update the sharing prefs.
Let us know if this works. Usually photos not showing up outside of Aperture is caused from not having previews built for those photos.

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events and iPhoto Slideshow but are in an Album. How do I recover or copy photos back to Events and rebuild slideshow?

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.
Help!

That's an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master file has been broken. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Photos Missing From Album

I upgraded to 10.10.3 and when opening the photos app, all of my albums successfully migrated. The only issue is that my IPhoto albums were sorted by name and that sort didn't follow. I unchecked the sort by date and it put most of them in the right place and I manually sorted the rest. I shut down the program and came back to it a few hours later. There are now photos missing from the album. I can't figure out what happened. I looked in the recently deleted photos and they are not there. I have them backed up both in IPhoto and in a separate folder, but before I bring them back in I need to know what happened. Anybody have any ideas???

I agree it would be helpful to know what happened, but I suspect we won't find out.

How to manually insert artist photos in the artist column?

I wanted to know specifically how to customize artist photos in the artist section of the iPod / iPhone, etc. As you can see, it shows a corresponding album to that artist, but I wanted to put a photo of the artist there like they have in the iTunes Radio. Mainly cause it would look nice, and I have several artist that doesn't have photos anyway. There was a thread that someone put custom photos on their column using iFunbox. I have it, but don't know how the person did it.
Any help?

I'm installing that currently.

TS4605 I've tried to back up my iCloud but I've got photos missing how can I recover these photos

I've tried to back up my iCloud but I've got photos missing how can I recover these photos

Did you restore your backup? That should restore your camera roll photos.

I don't want Artists photo in my Artists View List.

iOS 7 - I hated the iTunes Match change in the Cover Artwork list view using Artists’ Photo… and many are wrong. There’s a way to revert this? Wrong move by Apple… artcover is way better than the band small photo… look all the same now.

At this time I'm not aware of a way to change this. You may submit your polite feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

HT201317 Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

Why is it when I get a new idevice and try to upload photos from iCloud onto my device there are always a large portion of photos missing?

Adding to fromsouth... if you are restoring from a backup, then only photos in the camera roll are made available, not others.
If you are using photo stream, then only photos that have been on the stream server in the past 30 days (and a max of 1000 of them) are downloaded. All others have been deleted, since photo stream is not a storage service, but a syncing service that allows you to sync photos over a 30 day window.

I photo missing

i photo missing.cannot find in applications or anywhere else.how do i get it back?please help.

Tommy Shanks
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
Could you supply a little more information please? Until you do no one can do anything except make wild guesses.
What did you do to lose it?
Have you looked in the trash? if that is where it is just drag it back to the applications folder.
Have your done a search for it?
What hardware and software do you have?
Did you have a hard drive crash?
Did you just upgrade your OS? If so how did you do that?
What else do that might have affected your iPhoto application?
What version of iPhoto do (did) you have?
What version of the OS are you running?
One answer is for you to use the install disks that came with your computer and install iPhoto from there using the install bundled software option (or following MacWorld's instructions here.
Good luck

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?

About 1000 photos missing from IOS6 iPhoto and iPhone - how do I locate or recover them?
About phone section says i have 3,223 photos - but I can no longer see about 1000 photos from about 2 years ago. This may be connected to recently trying to back up phone to iCloud, but i could not work out how to do that as I can't see any images at all showing in my iCloud account.
I am using iPhone 4s IOS 6.1.13 iPhone - didn't update software previously due to concerns about losing photos, ironically
My iTunes back tells me also that i have 3,303 photos in it - but again I can't understand how to locate these photos
any help appreciated - thanks

With your iPhone connect to iPhoto, select the photos and/or videos you want to import followed by selecting Import Selected instead of selecting Import All.
It is a good idea to remove the photos and/or videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

IPhoto 08 - Photos missing

I just realized many of my photo in my default album show as missing. When I open my iPhoto library in finder I find all the photo missing but aliases in the folders. Can anyone give me an idea what may have happened?
Thanks,
Bob

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

'Artist Photos' iTunes on iPhone

Hi
Is there any way to stop the apple selected 'artist photos' being used on itunes on the iphone (i.e. when you are searching etc by group). This is a grade A naff idea. Why not just show one of the album covers? Basically it makes it much harder to just scan through and select the artist you want - I know the album covers, which are usually pretty distinctive. Most of the group shots basically look identical, which makes them basically worthless.
Idealy something that doesn't require resetting the phone...
Also - if I select an album via the group category, and then try to play songs on that album randomly, it plays all of the group's songs randomly...the only way to play just one album randomly is to go and find that album in the album listing menu. Again, is this by design?

The following has instructions iTunes: Syncing photos
If you cannot see the Photos tab after connecting your phone and selecting it in iTunes, it is usually because the tab is off the side of the screen due to resolution or size issues. There may be a scroll bar at the bottom that will allow you to get to it.
