IOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset.

Strange issue here. I did the update from iOS 6 to iOS 7, after I did the update, I noticed my synced music has just a random photo of the artist / group, that seems to be downloaded from the iTunes sites, because these pictures of the artist/group is not my album artwork.
I did a master reset on my device because I wanted to start from a clean slate, and set it up as a new phone. I went through and adjusted all of my settings and synced my music back on via iTunes, now its not showing these pictures any longer, infact, the strangest issue of them all.. is now when I view artists, the album that I synced now has a complete different album artwork picture that is not related to that album.
I am at a loss, my iTunes is extremely organized, I have everything configured to be 100% accurate for track names, artist, album, and album artwork.
Anyone have any input here? It only screwed up after the reset I did. This has to be a bug or something.

SiMooew469: Thank you!  After countless wasted hours messing with this, your solution was the only one that worked!  After setting up a few phones "as new" I noticed all the artist images would appear (for those that have one) even with my Match turned on.  I could not duplicate it on my restored-from-backup iPhone5S, as I would get a mix of the images and album art, even for those artists that have profile photos on the as-new setups.  I couldn't afford to lose all my text messages, etc. that come with restoring a phone as-new, so I tried about everything else under the sun: I tried logging in-and-out of my Apple ID, toggling Match on-and-off, I even deleted iTunes_control folder using iExplorer on a Windows machine.  Nothing worked.
Here's what finally did:
If you don't have it set this way already, toggle "Group By Album Artist" in Settings->Music. For some reason that makes a difference for some artists in your library that appear when album artist is set to "Various Artists" or something other than the track's artist.  Logout of your Apple ID.  Log in with any other Apple ID.  Open the Music app and watch all the artist images load in the Artisits tab.  Once it is done, logout of the other Apple ID and login with your regular Apple ID.  Finally, all the artist images will remain.  Those artists that do not have a profile photo with iTunes will still show album art, which is by design.  Hopefully Apple will keep updating that database.
Incidentally, it's a bit odd that those profile photos don't appear in the Artists view in iTunes 11...or am I the only one?

  • Music app does not display some of the artists' names correctly

    It's so annoying. I have a few artists, whose names are not displayed correctly by the music app. In the following, I'm gonna take the band "Annisokay" as an example.
    I, first of all, had this artist named as "annisokay". Everything was alright. Today, I decided it would look better with a capital A, so I changed the name to "Annisokay". I synced my iPhone with iTunes and checked the music app afterwards: In the music app, the name is still displayed as "annisokay". I connected the iPhone to my MacBook again and checked the "On this iPhone" tab in iTunes. There, the name is correctly displayed as "Annisokay".
    I've tried deleting all the music on the iPhone and syncing it again, restarting my iPhone, deleting the music from iTunes and importing it again, changing the names to some gibberish and changing it back again, but nothing worked!!
    So, to sum up, whatever I'm trying, in the end the artist's name (Artist & Album Artist) is defined as "Annisokay" and is displayed like that in iTunes itself and in the "On this iPhone" tab, but in the music app on the iPhone it's "annisokay". That's very annoying. Has anybody else ever encountered this problem? Is there someone who can help me to solve it?

  • IPad music app does not show track artists in compilations

    Hello community,
    i have a problem with my iPad's music app. When browsing compilations, it does not show the artist of each track like my iPhone does. Both devices are sync'ed with the same iTunes library, and the 'Part of a compilation' flag is set correctly to the corresponding tracks.
    Please let me illustrate the problem with a few screenshots.
    The iPhone shows this compilation correctly as 'Various Artists' and thus displays the track's artists in each line below:
    In contrast, the iPad's music app does not seem to identify the compilation correctly. The artist is not shown as "Various Artists" like on the iPhone, but the artists of the first track is wrongly used instead. Furthermore, the artist of each track is not shown in the list on the right side:
    The setting "Sort album by artist" is turned on on both devices.
    Any ideas what could be wrong?
    Thank you!

    It's not you, it's the iPad's iOS.  The Music app in iOS 5 for the iPad is horrendous with several UI fails:
    - No category for Compilations
    - Incorrect/ Missing Artist for Compilations
    - No lyrics
    - No indication of track number within a group of tracks (e.g. "18 of 37")
    - Sporadic indication of which track is playing while looking at a list
    Hopefully these things get corrected in iOS 6, but for now you'll have to bear with it.  You can voice your concern here:

  • Photo App does not display all photos

    Running iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 4S. The new Photo App does not display all photos properly. All photos show up as thumbnails. However, when you tap on some of them, only a blank page is displayed. The rest is fine. This issue started after the upgrade to iOS 7. Is this a bug? Hardware-related?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

    The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • Ipod nano does not display the picture covers

    Hello, I have a 2nd generation nano. I used to "associate" a picture (the album cover) with the song files in itunes and they were displayed in the Nano.
    Suddenly the nano stopped to display the pics. I deleted all the songs and put them again and I reseted the nano and now even the old files are not displaying the pictures, although itunes displays them correctly.
    I hope I didn't mess too much with the explanation. sorry.
    Does anybody know how can I see the covers again?
    Thank you.

    If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
    "display album artwork on your iPod".
    Make sure it's still selected.

  • Reminders.app does not display anymore

    I'm translating my question already posted in french at : http://forums.macg.co/mac-os-x/rappels-ne-s-affiche-plus-1236408.html
    Hi,
    I haven't found any answer to my new problem.
    The app Reminders (Reminders.app) doesn't display anymore.
    To be more precise :
    - the icon is animated on the dock
    - the menu is there but no window opens
    - Cmd-0 does not display the main window
    - I cannot create a new entry
    I checked and repaired the permissions, the HDD, ... without succeeding.
    I tried to start ./Reminders in the terminal in /Applications/Reminders.app/Contents/MacOS and I got this error message :
    2013-12-10 23:07:19.862 Reminders[658:507] *** -[__NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
    2013-12-10 23:07:19.887 Reminders[658:507] +[CATransaction synchronize] called within transaction
    Because it works fine on iCloud.com and iOS7 I tried to :
    - disable iCloud/Reminders in the Preference panel -> then an new and empty Reminders window appears when I start it again (and no error message in the terminal)
    - close the Reminders app and enable iCloud -> the app does not appear
    - colse the app, modify some entries using iCloud or iOS, disable iCloud, enable iCloud, and try to start again without succeeding.
    Does anyone have an idea ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Thibault

    I had the same problem and solved it by quitting Reminders on the iMac and doing this on my iPhone (which is synced to iCloud along with my iMac):
    1) deleting old (completed) reminders so that each list had only reminders less that one year old, and
    2) adding a new list and creating a few entries
    And waiting until that synced to iCloud.
    When I did that all my lists and entries reappeared on the iMac Reminders app!  I'm gussing there was either a corrupt entry somewhere or the lists of entries had just got to be too long.  Even after the deletions, I still have several hundred completed items, which I want to keep as checklists that I re-use.  Doing the above was much better then totally wiping all lists (as some have suggested) or more drastic ideas like deleting pref files.
    I also had to widen the Reminders window to allow it to show the Sidebar as well as enabling Sidebar in the View menu.
    I did not disable iCloud syncing on the iMac but that would not hurt as an initial step before doing the above also.
    Good luck.

  • Ios email app does not support user name with multiple "."

    I have two gmail email addresses and have both set up on my ipad, however the ios email app cannot connect to the gmail server for one of the two accounts. Account settings are strictly identical and connection from the Gmail app works fine. The only difference I could find between the two accounts is that the one with connection issues uses a format of "[email protected]" whereas the one that works fine is "[email protected]". Is it a known bug that the ios app does not support the first format?
    Thanks

    Yes, double dots/periods are not allowed.

  • Transaction SMOEAC does not display Object type and Object Name options.

  • I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

    I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
    Thank you,
    lagrl

    Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider.  iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
    Does this help.  Perhaps you already know this ?

  • Ever since I downloaded IOS 7 my car stereo does not display artist, track etc. Is there a way to fix this?

    Try closing the Scrabble app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Scrabble app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Scrabble app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither of the above fix it then you could try deleting it and re-sync or re-download it via the Purchased tab.

  • Music app does not have the function to change the audio source.

    iTunes Radio is currently only available in the US - if you are in the US then try logging out and back into your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store, and if that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IOS Remote app does not control Internet Radio on Apple TV

    I just bought a 3rd generation Apple TV and one of the things I want to use it for is playing Internet Radio stations (not the new Radio feature). It does this fine and I can listen to BBC radio stations, however, the iOS remote app can't control this for some reason. It works fine if I control iTunes on my Mac mini with the same app. This makes no sense. Am I missing something?

    you know, as many movies as I rented this summer directly from the Apple TV, not once did i ever try to start one using the iPhone remote... guess it never crossed my mind to.
    I wonder if it is even supposed to work that way though. Is there a rented movies category on the remote app when you are connected to the Apple TV?
    I cannot remember, guess its been a while since I worked with it a great deal.
