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):

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.

  • Fix for Music app crash with iTunes Match "on"

    Sometimes if you try to use iTunes match for the first time on 3G(or any other cellular connection) it crashes Music app permanently. It can occur if you try to run Music app on the go with bad 3G connectivity so some data is corrupted or configured incorrectly. I had this twice, but found this "easy" fix without a need of PC/Mac computer & iTunes.
    How to fix music app crash with itunes match "on".
    Step by step on the iPad:
    - delete all music on your device:
    Go to settings->usage->view list of all apps->swipe music icon ->choose delete
    - set itunes match off
    - run music app
    - give it a while till it shows "no music" info and only shop button. It needs to reload all settings and clear all data. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - itunes match on but "show all your music" off !
    -  open music app
    - wait till all your music lists covers download. It will take a while. Scroll down to load them all if you want. Wait till no loading circle.
    - go to settings app again
    - music settings - show all your music on
    - go to music app
    - wait till it download list of all your music
    Done
    Maybe you can fix this with lesser number of steps but this way I'm sure it works.

  • Problems Syncing music Manually after Disabling Itunes Match

    I recently disabled iTunes match and since doing so I have been unable to manually transfer music to my iphone 4 or transfer purchases from my iphone to my itunes... anyone have a clue to how I might fix this? It's very wierd, it's almost like my computer doesn't recognize my iphone as being assocaited with my account..

    Now I deleted all settings and data from my iPad, restored from backup and tried to sync all music again. Now most of the titles are synced. But there are still about 10 title, that do not sync.
    If I browse for them on the iPad (in iTunes) the information shows the following:
    Size: Stream
    Data rate: 256 kbit/s
    The song in my library is an MP3 with 192 kBit/s. So this information is completely wrong.
    For me it seems, like the music library on the iOS devices got screwed up. The question is, how can I reset my music library without losing all the other data on the devices?

  • Major Music app bugs w/ iTunes Match

    I have iTunes Match and the Music app on my iPhone is almost un-usable.  Two major bugs are causing this:
    1.  Sometimes, a song will fail to play if it's not downloaded.  I'll have it on shuffle-all and a song will come up and the app will pause for a minute (as if it's building the cache, which is fine), but then the song will fail to play and the next track will begin.  If I go back to that song, it will immediately skip it.  The only way to play the song, is to download it manually (with the little cloud icon) and it will play fine.  HUGE pain in the butt when I'm driving.
    2.  More often than the first bug, a song will begin to play and when it get's to the 1-minute mark, it will skip to the next track for five seconds and then come back.  When it comes back to the original track the counter will start ticking, but no music will play.  The only way to get it to play again is to seek to before the 1 minute mark and hope it doesn't happen again (about 30% chance of getting through it).  If it doesn't happen at the 1 minute mark it will sometimes happen at the 2 or 3 minute mark (+/- 5 seconds).
    Is it just me?

    Okay, so since I'm the only one experiencing this problem... is there something I'm doing wrong?  Is there a way to submit a bug report?

  • 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:

  • Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud, Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud

    Has anyone had issues with their music volume after syncing with iCloud ?

    There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
    The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
    I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

  • I can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

    i can't open my purchased apps after sync to i tunes, help anyone?

    I have found a solution for my very special case with very same symptoms. I gave my iPhone 3GS to my son, created for him his own iCloud account (for backup and contact isolation) but used my App Store account, so that we pay only once for all those 190 applications. However, I was only able to install applications from my Mac, but not from "Purchased Apps", which showed blank screen or crashed.
    Now I have tried to switch language to English (just for the case, probably was not necessary) and created another iCloud account (same Apple ID as I use for App Store) - I have switched only reminders on.
    Now I'm able to see purchased apps, and I can install them. I have even changed the language back to Czech and then disabled reminders for that secondary iCloud account and finally deleted this account altogether. Still I can see purchased apps.
    Between the steps that I did I have always closed the AppStore application from the task bar. Lets hope, it will survive restart. I hope the right Apple ID is now somewhere in the Keychain and marked for iCloud usage.

    Hello, Ninaxand. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are a US customer, try forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test accessing iTunes Radio after processing these steps.  I would also make sure cellular data is enabled for iTunes.

  • HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
    Any suggestions

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.
