IPad cover art while playing

I'm listening to my iTunes library through the iPod on my iPad. I am doing this over my home wi-fi. Why does the cover art flash in and out while playing?

My iPad locked up while playing a game. Now can't turn it off or do anything.

Nt iPad locked up while playing a game. Now I can't get it to shut down or do anything. The buttons don't do anything. Help!!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

How to see cover art while browsing playlists?

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song, but not before. It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
I'm using iTunes v4.7.1
Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
Yes, when you have a song selected.
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song
You mean you CAN only see it when a song is selected?
It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
This feature was introduced in iTunes 7.
You can view all the artwork with the songs.

Won't display Album Art while playing music and the screen is Locked

So what's happening is that while I'm playing music and I lock the iPod, it won't display the album art. Only my wallpaper, which is one of the wallpapers that come with the iPod.

Reboot fixed it

IPad turns off while playing certain games.

During certain newer games, my iPad will freeze and either keep the screen and have rectangles, or it will go black and restart. While this is a relatively small issue, I would just like to know if there is an easy solution; will I just not be able to play certain games? Or is there a fix?

Try the basic:
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(C) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
(D) Restore iPad
1. Connect your device to your iTune (computer).
2. Select your iPad when it appears in iTunes.
3. Select the Summary tab.
4. Click the Restore button.
Note: Data will be lost

Wrong Cover Art on iPad

Curious situation.
I copied a playlist to iPad (New) from iTunes with all the cover art for each track.
When I play the tracks on the iPad the cover art is wrong for every track.
When I play the exact same tracks - from the iPad - using iTunes on my MacBook Pro - the cover art is perfect.
Exacts same tracks - wrong art when played on iPad, correct art when played from the iPad through iTunes on my Mac.
Any ideas?

Found the solution at:

When accessing movies using the movie app on iPad and the movie thumbnail doesn't match, go to general setting on the ipad > movie > and logout (or enter the wrong password so that it logs off) of sharing, then log back in. It will refresh all your music and movie thumbnails to match the movies you share using your home network. All credit goes to the person that posted this fix via the link above.
Not sure yet if it has to be done again after new movies are added, but it's an easy short-term fix and works better then pulling your hair out.

Cd cover art on N70

Hi,
I'm using a N70 Music editon and until now I was not able to make the N70 display the cover art when playing an album.
On my PDA, I have a folder with the tracks on WMA or MPS and a small jpg file with the cover that the Media Player displays during playback.
On the N70 ME, I've tried that and no result.
Where / how, should I place the JPG with the cover art?
Thanks
Carlos

Hi,
you should place the image inside the wma/mpa in the ID3 tag.
For this I use MP3Tag.

Lock screen while playing music and charging

I thought recently Apple had made a change so that the lockscreen would show your album art while playing music AND charging at the same time. Right now I'm playing music and charging, but the lock screen shows the battery charging. Is this a change or am I mis-remembering?

That is strange. I do not get album art when the phone is locked and an album is playing. All my albums have album art too. I will reboot and try again, maybe it's a bug in iOS4.1?
FIXED !!! -- I just rebooted my iPhone and now it works. Strange.

Wrong song plays on iPhone 4S when specific song is selected, but correct cover art displayed

I recently downloaded "It Will Rain" (Bruno Mars) from iTunes and played it numerous times yesterday, as I usually do with any new downloaded song. However, after syncing iPhone 4S with computer today just to do some updating of my file sharing, my iPhone now plays the song that is listed after it even though the "It Will Rain" artwork and name is displayed correctly. It basically won't play the song anymore when selected. I even tried to go down the list to see if it would play if it wasn't selected directly and it seems like it takes awhile and then ends up skipping over to the next song, still displaying the "It Will Rain" cover art. I tried re-syncing and the problem doesn't appear to be within my iTunes account because it plays fine there. Not sure what to do at this point. iTunes won't let me repurchase it (not that I would want to have to).

I am now missing 26 songs from my Iphone. (After resynching it told me 26 songs could not be downloaded and to see Itunes for more info, of course Itunes had no info). So now I am missing 26 songs and cant figure out how to get them back. They play through my laptop and my Ipad but I cant even see them on my Iphone anymore. I'm starting to regret my upgrade to the 4s. Help Apple!
Were these 26 songs purchased directly from the iPhone? If so, these might be "ghost" entries ... connect your iPhone to iTunes and click on the small arrow to the left of your iPhone's name. Select the iPhone's "Music" category and see if these 26 phantom songs appear grayed out. If so, that's probably what the message is about. I have the same problem, although for each of my 9 "ghost" songs on my iPhone I have legitimate entries that play just fine. I can only see these phantom entries on my iPhone when I view its contents through iTunes (and I get the same error message you get). Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for the error message, but ...
If these 26 songs really are in your iTunes library, are they set to be sync'd to your iPhone? (assuming that you auto-sync) In other words, are you either syncing your entire library, or at least a playlist (or genre) that you auto-sync to? If they're not part of your auto-sync categories, then they won't go back onto your iPhone until you designate them to auto-sync to your device.
If you manually manage music on your iPhone, can you drag and drop these 26 songs to your iPhone?

Cover art on purchased video not showing up on ipad

I have a first generation (yes, I know, sort of quill and parchment but, hey, it works just fine) Ipad, bought a movie from the Itunes store and the cover art didn't transfer. It shows up fine at the store, on my itunes account, and there is no other obvious explanation for this. I downloaded it a second time, same result. The movie plays just fine. Suggestions?

How Do You Play One Album with New Cover Art Browser

This seems to be such a simple thing to do and yet I can not figure it out. How are u supposed to only play one album when viewing by the Cover Art Browser. I assumed double clicking the album art would play the album, but it doesnt. I've tried everything and it's driving me crazy. I just dont see the point of this view if you can't even play the individual albums without the entire library playing too.

In preferences, (Edit -> Preferences on a Windows-based PC or iTunes-> Preferences on a Mac), then the Playback tab. There is an option to specify how to shuffle, either by individual songs, albums, or groupings.
If you want some randomness, and a random song in there you might try leaving it on songs, and move the Smart Shuffle slider towards the left.

TS3274 While playing a game iPad goes to home page why?

While playing temple run 2 sometimes the iPad just goes to home page

That's possibly due a bug in the app. Contact the developer to see if they can help.

When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?
