Artists view ipad - no covers

In the artists view in the music app of my ipad, not a single cover shows up. In the albums view, every album is listed with his cover. What can I do? I'm using iTunes Match and every track has a cover in iTunes on my Mac

I get the same on iPad and iPhone. If I go back out of the album view to view all playlists (or artists or anything) and then go back to Now Playing, then the artwork shows up. It then shows up each time afterward. I really don't know what it is, but it seems like the album artwork may not download with the song and it has to download the first time you play it. That seems like a strange way to do it though.

IPad music app: album count incorrect/too large in artist view

Hello,
My problem isn't critical, but it is really annoying. My third generation iPad is showing incorrect album counts for artists under artist view in the Apple music app.
For example, I have just one Coldplay album (Viva La Vida) uploaded to my iPad, but the music app reads the following under the album/artwork in artist view: "10 songs, 15 albums".
I have turned the iPad on and off. I have done a hard reset (by holding home and power button down until iPad shuts off and then tirns on again). I have restored the iPad from a back up through iTunes. I have restored it to factory settings through iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I have erased the iPad using the iPad "settings/general/reset/erase all contents and settings" option. I have synced the iPad with iTunes and utilized the music tab to replace the music on the iPad. I have uploaded the albums through the iTunes store. I have synced them from my computer.
NONE of these options have worked. They all result in incorrect album counts.
This seems to be a problem which surfaced after I upgraded to iOS6, but I am not sure if that is what caused the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is some sort of issue with iOS6. There are several threads (and theories) as to why this is happening. But the bottom line is, Apple needs to correct the problem.
One person indicated that the actual number of albums (by a particular artist) in his iTunes Library was the number of albums indicated on the iPad, regardless of the number of albums he chose to sync. In other words, if I have 10 albums by artist "ABC" in my iTunes Library, but chose to sync only 5 of them, the iPad would still indicate 10 albums by "ABC" (because it's looking to the iTunes Library for the album count instead of the number of actual albums that were synched to the iPad). While that theory makes sense, I found it to be somewhat untrue, at least in my case.
What I discovered is, if you rename or make a change to any of the metadata associated with a track from a particular album, then that album is duplicated when you sync, displaying the original album tracks (sans the one or two you changed) under the album name and a second version is created (using the exact same album name) but displaying only the track or tracks you modified. This in turn, increases your album count by one. So instead of showing the entry as just one album, the count now reads two for the same title. To make things even more confusing, if you go back and modify both versions of the album, successully combining the two back into one, so to speak (this can be done by renaming the artist to some other name, synching, then renaming it back to the correct artist), the album will then display correctly (just one "vesrion" showing on the iPad), but the album count remains unchanged (still indicating two). Basically, the count isn't reset, but remains incorrect.
Hopefully, I didn't confuse everyone. But it's difficult to explain. From everything I've read, it appears to be a combination of things; Album count and display, as well as creating additional album "instances" if any tracks are modified.
In any event, I hope they fix it soon. Because if you have a large music library like mine, it takes no time to really screw things up!

Artists View no Covers

I had a simillar problem where the cover didnt sho up in the lockscreen. I dont really know whether its a simillar problem, but when i restored, it seemed to fix it

How to select desired album art in Artist View on iPad?

I hope that is clear enough.
How do you select your desired album art in the Artist View on an iPad? It seems that random art is selected and I would rather have a specific album art of my choice.
Example, Van Halen, it is showing VH2 as the album art in artist view, however, I'd rather have "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" as the art as I recognize it more quickly.

If the album/song is available on iTunes Store you can right click the song/album and select Download Artwork, or if you have an image saved you wish to use you can for example right click an album, select Get Info and drag and drop the artwork over the existing artwork on placeholder and this will populate all songs on the album, if you've selected the entire album.
Regards,
Steve

Thumbnail not showing for artist view on music app

Ever since iOS 7 (now on iOS 8.1.1), the thumbnails in the artist view of the music app on my iPhone 5 sometimes shows up but not for all artists.
I have tried restoring iPhone as new phone without restoring a backup (as I thought the backup may include the problem), restarted iTunes and iPhone, restarted MacBook on OS X Lion. Removed music, re-sync'd. Manually added album covers, re-sync'd.
Al album covers show, but artist view where a promo-type picture of the artist is usually shown does not work for all artists.
Would have been more reliable if iOS could have simply used the latest album cover as the artist thumbnail.

It's a universal glitch with ios5. With any double album (i.e. Greatest Hits Vol.1 and Greatest Hits Vol. 2), the 2nd album is not coming up under "Artist". It's there under "Albums" and "Songs", but NOT "Artists".

ITunes 11 - why no cover in title view and no infos in artist view???

Guys really, you keep messing up iTunes from version to version. I think I will finally move to Songbird or other software.
Why do you always have to remove functions people use and like in iTunes.
And this has a history!!!
iTunes10
In iTunes 10 you removed Covers from the list view and introduced album list view which was essentially the same, you just couldn't dynamically resize covers anymore! Totally useless. So ok.... got used to small covers and got over it.. it was faster in handling my huge library.
iTunes11
In iTunes 11 you rename list view to title, cover view to album and album list to artist. Remove the option to scale covers even from album view and oh..... you simply removed cover flow and the beautiful full sceen view of it... oh .. and in the new artist view I can only see title, artist, rating and the year....
DUDES ARE YOU SERIOUS???????
Now I have NO view anymore which displays the information on tracks, like producers, comments and so on WITH a cover. Why can't you just add the option to titles view to show a cover column????
Or let people display more information in artist view....
Glad I have NO iphone so I can switch back to iTunes10 at least untill I found another software that doesn't make it's users angry everytime an update comes in.
Sadly, no official apple guy will read this and even consider thinking about changing stuff... but at least I did something for my frustration with writing this post....
No Regards.,.,

Um, yeah. We know, HappyMedium27, that you can click on the miniscule thumbnail of the album artwork and a get a bigger rendering of the artwork along with some basic controls. I am guessing at least 90% of the posters here are aware of that. Although it sounds from your post like you personally just discovered it, that iTunes feature has been around for a long time.
I hate to state the obvious, but apparently someone is going to need to set you straight. That's not CoverFlow. This thread is about CoverFlow.
I use it, and so do all of these other people. Sooo, I think you may be missing the point just a little.
And, no, I don't think I am quite ready yet to "chill the %$#!&* out", as you put it. If you can't deal with that, leave
Thanks.

iTunes > view > always show artwork

Artists not shown in the "Artists view" on iTunes 11

On iTunes 11, in the "Artists view", the artists list on the left is only based on the album artists.
The problem is that the artists themselves are not shown in this list if for example a track is tagged with different "Artist" and "Album artist".
How to fix this ?

Go to the Songs view, enable the Column Browser from the menu if needed, then adjust the settings of :
View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists and
View > Column Browser > Group Compilations
to suit your needs. For some more thoughts on iTunes organization see Grouping tracks into albums.

Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

Dear,
I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
Regard,

i dont want the sidebar with artitst
i want to see them like albums and like the itunes 10

I have the same problem! I'm currently searching answers to this question. There should be an option somewhere in the new iTunes where it allows the Artists view to change from detailed view to smaller and bigger view. I also want the Artist view to look like the Albums and Movies view.

Is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

is it possible to view information such as play count on Artist view in itunes 11?

There is no column view for the artist tab in iTunes 11. The songs are chunked up by album, no option for list view, let alone column chooser. Also, everything under view > column browser is grayed out.

Can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11?

can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11, i.e visually? the playlist as just a list of songs/ artists is a hopeless & very frustrating way to orgaize a list of maybe 30 songs/ artists that i might have downloaded in one session. or do the boffins at mac have that kind of brain numbing memory capacity?

hi, yes i use that, but what i'm asking is can i drag the songs into the order i want when i have grid or artist list. in artist list it just lists alphabetically, it does not list in playlist order. it seem s to me that only in 'list' view without images that i can drag songs around, which is useless.
thanks

How do I show plays in Artist View in iTunes 11?

I'm looking for a way to show plays in Artist View in iTunes 11. A dialog box pops up when going to View > View Options, but nothing about changing what information can be diplayed.
Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks!

I do not believe you can. If you want to see plays you need to use The songs View. If you turn on the column browser you can select by Album and in the grid below you should see count. If not then View > View Options and select Plays from the Stats section.

How do i change the artist view in itunes 11 back to the original view?

How do i change the artist view in itunes 11 back to the original or pre itunes 11 view?

You can't. iTunes 11 has different ways of viewing your library from earlier builds. You can restore some of the look/function of the old version by turning on the menu bar (ctrl-b), sidebar (ctrl-s) and also clicking the magnifying glass then unticking Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
If that isn't enough the see this post on how to roll back to iTunes 10.7.
