IOS 4 update on 3GS: Album Artwork/author/title missing in some places

Okay, I just updated my 3GS to iOS4 with no dramas, except for the iPod app.
Basically, in Albums mode:
- any album that wasn't from the iTunes Store (i.e. a CD rip) doesn't display its album artwork thumbnail, either in the list view or the new album summary info panel shown above the track listing when you click the album
- in addition, the new album summary panel shows “Unknown Artist” and “Unknown Album” even though the page before (the full Albums list) did in fact show the artist and album title
- however, clicking on a track will in fact show the correct album artwork while the track is playing
In addition, in Cover Flow mode:
- not only do the above affected albums also appear with no artwork,
- but also clicking on them shows *no tracks* at all (whereas they do show up in Albums mode and are successfully playable).
What the?! Anyone else found this? Seems to affect both MP3 and AAC ripped formats (and btw they are legal imports of my own CDs).

I have a similar problem. All of my music won't show the album artwork, and some will even show artwork of a Genius Mix. I rotate to Cover Flow, and everything seems fine there; all of the artwork shows up and the songs are all there. But once I flip to portrait and the Now Playing screen, that artwork disappears and I'm left with that prosaic gray musical note or an ugly Genius Mix artwork with four of my original artworks arranged in a 2-by-2 grid. I set iTunes so that it wouldn't sync my music anymore, synced my iPod, turned music back on, and then synced my iPod again, essentially removing music and putting it back on my device, as the abovementioned suggests.

  • IOS 6 update on 3GS.  Now missing hotspot, how do I get it back?

    I completed my iOS 6 update last night on my 3GS phone.  Went to use my personal hotspot this morning and it's not there.......
    I live in the country tethering is how I access the Internet.  Can someone please help me find a fix?

    Found the answer through an old string on the 5.1 update.  It's under system-->general-->cellular scroll shown and turn the hotspot back on and it reappears under the first screen in system settings.

  • My iphoto freezes when trying to use the standard eBay photo upload, the problem started after a recent iOS 7 update. The album photos don't appear until I try and close the upload and immediately freezes. Attempts to close iphoto fail.

    A week or so ago I reacted to an Apple update message. The update completed and this left me with a couple of problems. When the imac started up there was a Glims message on screen telling me that the computer had not closed entirely and asking if I wanted to allow glims to reopen previously open files. I ticked yes and Safari froze immediately. This would happen even after a restart, Safari would start up with the Glims message on my Yahoo mail account. Then whether I clicked on the Glims message or not one of various adverts would appear and Safari would immediately freeze. I managed to override this by quickly entering Safari extensions and subscribing to an advertisement blocking programme. Safari now worked without problems but the blocking programme created other problems mostly with iphoto. The eBay uploaded photos were minute. So I decided to remove the Safari blocking extension and all seemed fine for everything except iphoto which now freezes every time I try to upload eBay photo's using the eBay standard upload problem. Yesterday I changed to the other BASIC upload option and that did work. Thought it might be a one of glitch on the Standard but obviously not. Anyone's help would be appreciated. I note that at least one other member is experiencing the same or similar problem today.

    Sorry I am 70 and not very computer literate. Please explain in simpler terms. Perhaps I should have said Apple update for my iMac. It did however include an iphoto update. My imac is 3 years old, I also have an ipad 2 and iPhone and both received iOS 7 updates around the same time.

  • IOS 5 Update, wait, re-connect, back-and-forth may solve some things...

    I just updated an iPad first generation (iPad 1) and I was going to scream as my Mac Pro iTunes showed no music, videos or photos.
    I was luckily surprised to see that my Apps were kept in their own folders. (I have close to 250)
    I disconnected the iPad.
    Opened the new 'Music' app and it said 'No Music'.
    Opened the new 'Videos' app and it said 'No Videos'.
    I was very frustrated. I re-connected the iPad to my computer and I saw the music and video playlists in my Mac Pro iTunes. I could play the vidos and music from my desktop computer, but I could not find any in my iPad (iTunes was showing all of it was there, just not the iPad)
    As I started to write feedback to Apple and trying to do some screenshots in my iPad, I suddenly saw that some playlists showed up. Then the videos showed up. I would say that it seemed like maybe the iPad and iTunes try to do some checking or sync in the background and suddenly somethings just show up. I am not sure if this is what happens or not.
    Currently, many of my songs are missing their album artwork (album covers) in the 'Music' app. I can see these album covers in my desktop iTunes. I know that these songs are from my personal CD's I have ripped or Music I have downloaded from other services. Like I said, the artworks is showing fine in iTunes, and was showing fine previous to the iOS 5 update, so what's wrong?
    Let's share more tips, insights and help with the Music artwork, playlists and videos.
    p.s. By the way, very annoyed that 'Newsstand' is an App you cannot drop inside a folder or group. iBooks, Messages, Reminders and AirPort Utility can be dropped inside folders/groups, why does Newsstand has to be a top icon?
    iOS 5 Updated
    on Mac Pro running 10.6.8 (I'll have to wait more reports or more solid Lion, Maybe I'll update when Wolverine is here ;-)

    i have 3 problems listed below while using iphone 4s with ios 5.1 version

    2. Sometimes my network drop zero then start searching network then display no service for few second and then the network once again appear (no issue with the network provider i checked with other phone which is working fine)

  • Album Artwork Worng or Missing??

    Hi+
    I was just wondering whether anyone could help me with my album artwork problem. My iTunes seems to have stopped working properly when it comes to getting the correct artwork. For most of my songs it seems to have found the correct artwork, but for around 40 odd albums it hasn't. It has either put the wrong artwork in, for example for The All-American Rejects album Move Along it has put the artwork for the Move Along EP, and Blink 182' self titled album it has put the greatest hits artwork in??? Now for some it won't even find some others even though the artist and album name are matched to how they are in the iTunes store.
    This problem cropped up out of the blue a couple of weeks ago but just left it as i was going to reformat my computer and thought that it will go back to normal afterwards. Well i have reformatted my computer and still the problem exists.
    Can anyone help me please. It is driving me crazy. I am using the latest version 8.0.2, operating system XP Pro, if you need anymore details let me know and i will post them.
    Thanks
    Tom

    Here's the Apple article on that
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
    The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
    What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
    Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
    I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database.

    Welcome to the forums Nismo.
    Had you read the Terms of Use of the forum that you agreed to by joining, you would find that "Apple" is not here. This is a user to user technical support forum. Hosted by Apple, but not monitored by Apple nor a way to communicate with Apple.
    As far as your music goes, when you purchase music from the iTunes store, it is your responsibility to back up that music. That way when something like the current situation going on with you happens, you will have backup copies of your purchased music. Apple is no more responsible for your lost music than a record store would be if you lost a purchased CD.
    That being said, you can send a letter to iTunes support and try pleading your case. They might let you download your purchased music again, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high if I were you.
    Not the message I'm sure you wanted to hear, I'm afraid. But it is what it is. Backkups are so important, and unfortunately, there are many, many posts just like yours of people losing their music or other data because they failed to backup.
    Good luck.

  • Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

    Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
    New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
    But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
    The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
    The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
    I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
    So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
    I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
    Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
    In hoping this can help anyone.

    Hey,
    You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

  • HT1386 Album artwork doesn't transfer since upgrade iOS?

    Anyone can you help? I "upgraded" to iOS 6.01, now my album artwork will not transfer with my music to my iPod touch.

    When you download artwork from the iTunes store, it is stored in the iTunes folder in the Album Artwork folder, not in the song file.
    If you paste in artwork from another source, it is stored in the song file. So there are two systems which can be confusing
    So if you are transfering your iTunes library to another computer, you need to take the whole iTunes folder as well as the iTunes Music folder. This ensures you have the library databses and artwork folder.

  • How do I update album artwork?

    I downloaded iTunes 7.0 with no issues, but no artwork was updated for music that I did not purchase on iTunes. Does anyone know how to update/browse for album artwork after ver 7 is installed?

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

    Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums.  They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
    If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab.  I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album.  In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found.  I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail.  It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
    Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18?  Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

    I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....
