Missing album artwork after iOS5 upgrade!!

After I upgraded my iPhone, everything went smoothly, all my apps where there, text messages, emails etc. Even all my music was there but I noticed that random album artworks were missing. I connected it iTunes and clicked "sync" and it showed at the top that it was syncing a numerous amount of album artworks to my phone, so I thought it fixed the problem but I check my phone and it didn't. The weird thing is that all the album artworks show in my iTunes library and playlists but not on my phone!! I tried restarting my phone and manually clicking "get album artwork" in iTunes, nothing has worked. Furthermore, these artworks aren't custom or added by me, I purchased all on iTunes, so I know that isn't the problem. I really don't want to resort to restoring my phone due to having to reoragnize everything on it, but if I have to, I will. PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks.

If the artwork is OK on your computer you may be able to solve your problem by removing all your music and then resync it back to your iPad.

Ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5

ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5 upgrade. After the first Sync, 90% of my albums had blank covers.

I had the same starting with taking 3 times synchronisation before my music library was visible on the Ipad-2. Though during synchronisation I saw the tracks being updating, they were nowhere to find . After a manual sync through devices->NNNipad->music and checking the entire music libary, I got my music libary back with the exception of roughly 10% of the artwork was not transferred. It is not related to manual added artwork as most of them are correctly transfered.
Checking the through info on the albums I found the following issue:
In the past i_tunes kept the artwork related to the album, now it keeps it attached to the several tracks. So when in I-tunes right clicking an album and selecting "info" you will find no artwork there. But when selecting a track and right clicking it (choose again "info" here it is you will find the artwork. The missing artwork in iOS5 is related to the fact that in the library on my computer the albums had artwork, but the tracks were not showing it. Adding again (with i-tunes 10.5) the artwork and re-sincing solved the problem for me.
I hope this will help you, Hedzer

Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries. Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view. How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

YouTube app missing in iPad 1 - iOS5 upgrade

Hi, I am getting a strange issue which I think is really weird. I found the YouTube app usually shipped with iOS is missing after iOS5 upgrade in my iPad 1. Is there anyway I can get the application back? Can I restore from iPad backups taken earlier?
If nothing is possible, Is there any app which I can use any other alternative app for this purpose?

YouTube will no longer come standard on the iPhone and iPad, and the Internet is jumping to conclusions as usual.
The next version of Apple's mobile OS -- iOS 6 -- will be missing the familiar YouTube app from its home screen. Instead, users will have to download a new YouTube app from the App Store. Apple claims it's simply because its five-year deal with Google has expired, while Google isn't even talking about the circumstances of YouTube's departure from Apple's devices.
Apple and Google don't exactly like each other, and Apple has been systematically purging Google's influence from its flagship OS. Earlier this year, Apple announced that iOS 6 willremove Google Maps in favor of Apple Maps.
That's why everyone seems to be concluding that YouTube's disappearance from iOS is all Apple's fault. It fits the pattern, after all.
And people are understandably upset:

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

Cannot restore from back-up after iOS5 upgrade

First try to restore after upgrade (original uppgrade process) iTunes said last available backup was time-stamped 11.34 but when chosen it was not accessible due to error 32 Backup missing.
Trying to reset the unit to gain access to older backups iTunes claims my password for the backup is incorrect even though I know it's correct, thus I cannot resore after iOS5 upgrade.
Looking in the folder (win XP machine) where the back-ups are stored it seems like there are no older backup available and my whole pic and vid library is gone! 2.5 yrs of images of my children!!!
What to do?

Sounds similar to my issue, I know my password is correct, even changed password in hopes that perhaps I was making a mistake, yet I wasn't. I backed up all my pix on an alternate computer, but my issue was that I used the voice memo recorder to record songs on the fly when I'm not at home, or just too lazy to hook up my studio gear. . . All that was backed up. . . yet, I'm told I'm entering the wrong password, I know it's not, but I guess I don't know how to type. . . I haven't searched for backup files in any location, other than looking to see if my pix were backing up as it quit syncing pix a couple months ago. No pix were backed up, so I plugged into a different computer, and that pc took em just fine.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

How do I fill in missing album artwork?

How do I fill in missing album artwork for my music library?

A smart playlist with the rule Has artwork is false will help you focus on the tracks that need artwork.
Option-(or right)-click > Get Album Artwork should get artwork from the store if the album can be recognised. Otherwise Google is your friend, search for the relevant album, copy the image & paste it in to iTunes.
Note sure if affects Mac users but there is a copy/paste bug with the current build (10.4.0.80) which can result in a blank image being pasted. Saving the image locally to your computer, and then dragging in the saved image will work around that.

Performance slowdown after iOS5 upgrade

Did anyone assess performance slowdown on iPad after iOS5 upgrading?
...especially refering to the panel responsiveness within Safari!... any troubleshooting feasible? Thank you!

My iPad 2 feels snappier overall - there are a couple apps that haven't been updated for iOS 5 that exhibit problems though. My wife's iPad 1 seems about the same or a bit faster depending on what she's doing - and of course has the same issues with some apps that need upgrading.
So far the only downside I can see to upgrading is that I've taken a small hit on the battery due to the improved notifications mostly, I think. By small I mean at the very end of the day when I connect it to my alarm dock, it has just over 20% instead of the more usual 25-30% charge left

Ipad1 is extremely, painfully slow after ios5 upgrade. Is there a fix?

Is there any fix for the awfully slow performance of iPad1 after ios5 upgrade? Mine is sometimes so slow it's impossible to use. Thanks

Mine is slower, but it's still useable. There is a update for battery draining due in a few weeks, though I don't know whether it will contain other fixes as well : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462
You could try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any 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 each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
To 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.
I've also seen a couple of posts recommending turning off iCloud (which I haven't tried yet).

After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting new glasses!! Also the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before. Any ideas?

Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
Any thoughts?

Apps won't work after iOS5 upgrade

After iOS5 upgrade, I cant start any apps but Apples own on my iPhone 4. What should I do?

Make sure you're signed into iTunes with your original Apple ID (the one that you used to purchase the apps)
Then Sync (and make sure 'Sync Apps' is checked)
Cheers!

Ipad2 wakes up to a blank screen after iOS5 upgrade

I have noticed two peculiar issues after iOS5 upgrade. My ipad2 screen awakens to a blank black screen after password input; this only happens when an app or a program was open when it locks. I have to close and reopen the cover and reenter password to get to the usual screen.
Additionally I have noticed the icons for several of my iapps become invisible, the name of the icon is visible and the app/program opens up if I click on the name
any suggestions?
thx

I had a similar thing on an old MacBook Pro where if I closed the lid, then reopened it before the sleep cycle took over, it would have a blank screen. I had to close the lid until the power light pulsed, then it would wake normally.
Any similarities?

Can't restore my music and apps after ios5 upgrade on 3GS

I have an ipone 3GS 16 GB and a Macbook pro 13''. I did the ios5-upgrade yesterday, which worked fine but the sync didn't work through. All my Apps are empty although I see their pics and there's no music at all, only the recent potos available, no albums. I tried the sync several times, nothing different, it always shut down at the end of preparations for sync. I shut the pone down and restarted it new, no change. So, what happened, how can I make the complete sync happen?

Hi,
thanks for your recommendations, but I solved the problem Thing was ONE photo file, which is probably corrupted and led to shutting down the sync. So I first skipped the 'latest entrys for the last 12 month' photos and all the other photo files during syncing and then added one file after another and finally found the one which had gone bad. So I'm going to delete this one and everything should work fine the next time (hopefully) ....
