Missing Artist Photo in Music App

Some of the artists with photo in iTunes Store does not show the photo in the Music App on my iPhone.
For example, if you search Mai Kuraki on iTunes Store, it shows a photo of the artist. From what I know, this means that the music app will show this photo in the artist tab. However, there are quite a few of artists who have a photo but there're not showing on the music app.
I have tried to open iTunes Store on my phone and sign out then sign in again. There's still no refresh on the music app.
I'm using iPhone 4s with iOS 8.1.3

I Have the same issue. At all other views, album, song, lists, including landscape view, the artwork are visible. The only problematc view is Artist View; most of artist show the generic silver box! Any solutions????

Hi Bosstweeds,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest you close all open apps, then restart and reset your iPhone. Here's how:

For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist. However, if I search the album name, all the songs show. How do I get the songs to show under songs?

Hi Spam_Valley,
I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

Why i cant see the artist covers in music app, i just see a letters ?

this is very important to me cause im adicted of music (sorry for my englis) but i cant see my covers or the itunes covers in the music app! if i selec ARTIST just apear a letters that say the album name ! oh my god i really upset with that cause all my music is extremely order! Can anybody help me??

Good tip, I'd missed that. I just emailed play explaining that I don't have a pc, can I get the music direct to the iPad?
The reply included
I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your PlayDigital orders, PlayDigital orders are downloaded to iTunes, so are used in this specific format. If iTunes is Unavailable on the iPad, this may not be able to be downloaded onto this.
Implying, I think, that when iTunes is installed, it is possible?
I have gone to the zip download and I am just asked if I'd like to to open it in good reader. Any tips?

In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

Hello!
I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this!
Thank you

Exactly!
This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

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".

Is there a way to sort albums under artists in the Music app?

On my iPhone, the albums under each individual artist are sorted from newest to oldest. On the previous version of the iOS they were sorted oldest to newest. Is there a way to change it back to show oldest to newest? I like to listen to my albums in order.
When you go into your music app, select the artist, the Albums should be sorted from oldest release date to newest. Right now, when I go into Pink Floyd it shows:
Wish You Were Here (1975), then it shows
The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and finally
Meddle (1971)
Thank you.

If you find the music sorting order as annoying as I think most people do, let apple know at:

How do I restore my iPod, but retrieve everything (including photos, notes, music, apps) afterwards?

There is this awful and unfair internet(wifi)-blocking system set to my iPod and selected computers throughout the house (my mother is Asian) and I'd like to get rid of it on my iPod by restoring it (so I'll be able to hook onto the wifi later), but I also want to keep my data (music, photos, notes, apps, etc) so that I won't have to redownload and redo everything.
Do I just sync my iPod to iTunes and restore my iPod when it's not connected to the computer and then when it's been restored, I hook it back up to the computer and everything will go back into my iPod? Thank you so, so much!
(Sorry I know this isn't very clear; should you have any questions, please ask!! Once again, thank you!!)

- Transfer iTunes purchases to computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a ghird-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- If you have synced photos you want to trasfer then yu need a program like TouchCopy or Phone Viiew. Those do music too but are paid programs
- Transfer photos/videos taken by or saved to the iPod to the computer by:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Email the notes to yourself.
- Last, restore the iPod to factory defaulats/new iPod and sysnce yuor media to the iPod. An internet connection is required to restoring the iPod.
If you restore from backup you will just have the same problem.

IOS7 - why can't I select album from artist list in music app

I like listening to an album (often on repeat) and sometimes I only want to listen to one of the albums by an artist.
With the iOS7 music player, I can't seem to do this. There doesn't seem to be an option for listening to an album on repeat (unless maybe making a separate playlist or browsing by album only).
I find browsing my library by artist the easiest then narrowing down by album, but when I do this, the album will not be able to be selected from the artist. It simply starts on the album I want and then plays everything by that artist.
This is a major pain... why isn't there either a "Repeat All - Album" or the old option of selecting an album from within a particular artist's repertoire ?
Any help is appreciated if I'm missing something here...other than features that used to exist....

Hi benhirashima,
I think I could repro this issue in my side using the VS2015 CTP6.

No artist icons in music app after syncing iTunes Match

I recently bought an iphone 5s and after syncing my iTunes Match I noticed none of my artist have icons anymore. My iTunes Match is extremely organized and I would like to know if there is a solution to this? Before the icons were automatically updated with pictures of the artist that apple chose. Since this method is clearly no longer working, is there a way I can update them myself?

I had the same issue after restoring my new iPhone 5s from a backup of my iPhone 4s and this worked for me. After one of the iOS betas apple released a profile that adds a reset music and video library button in the Music settings. Install this profile on your iphone, I found it here (just pull this up in Safari on your iPhone):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdkuzw6tgf8txvo/ResetMusicAndVideosLibraries.mobilecon fig
After installing this disable iTunes match, then go to Settings -> Music -> Reset Music and Video Library, reenable itunes match and it should begin to download all your artwork again.
In the artist view it still doesn't seem to be showing the iTunes artist images that it was showing on my 4s and is showing on my ipad mini, but at least it's showing album artwork.

Artist view in Music App is not displaying all the albums of an artist. iOS 5 problem?

In my case, for example, I have 2 albums of Sade.
When viewed in Artist view, only one album shows up. The other album is missing.
But when I go to Album view, I can find the Album. And the artist name is correctly labeled as Sade.
Anyone knows why? I don't remember this before upgrading to iOS 5.

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".

My iPhone 4s has all the album artwork but when I click on artists in the music app it doesn't show any pictures for them

It shows that all of the albums are there with artwork and it says that the artists are there but it is only showing the blank white tile with the writing on it instead of the picture for the artists.
Can anyone fix this?

So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!

Lost all photos, and music, apps from my phone can...

Hi newbie here, had my nokia 800 for a over 12 months now and has been working ok up till 3 days ago, wouldnt charge at all no power, just vibrated and never started up. anyway tried pressing a few keys after looking at a few forums trouble shooting guides and the phone seems to have been reset!
i had a lot of photos of my daughter being born which are very precious to me and want to try an retrieve them, i also cant seem to find them on Zune only the few recent ones i have taken since the phone came back from the dead, is there any way of getting them through zune?
my phone has played up again in the last 24 hours but it seems to charge ok after a while.
PLEASE help.
regards dan

If you has the auto upload function for pictures turned on you'll find the photos on Skydrive. While I can understand it must be feeling bad you lost the images please ensure you backup and sync pictures to your PC on a regular basis. Something can happen to your phone so the golden rule here is backup your personal files..

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.
