Since iOS5 update, album covers missing

A couple days ago, I upgraded to Lion and also udated my iPhone4 and iPad to iOS5. Today, I synced the iPhone4, then made changes to app layout and applied changes. When iTunes was running to apply the changes, I saw a message under the sync status bar that said "updating album artwork." It appeared to be updating all of the artwork. I went back and added a few pdfs that I wanted to sync and applied those. I again saw the message "updating album artwork." So, I checked the phone and about 95% of my albums don't have any artwork.
I rebooted the phone and synced again. Same message and still almost no album covers.
I don't keep music on iPad so no other device to compare to. All album covers are in iTunes library.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on a fix other than a full restore?

Found a fix. Had to uncheck Music in iTunes to remove library from phone. Then rechecked Music to reload library. All album covers appeared.

Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

Im losing will to live! iphone3gs not being recognised anymore in itunes or iphoto via usb since IOS5 update

Im really really p'd off with this!!!!!
Have had my 3GS for 2 years and it has always been recognised in Itunes and iphoto when plugged into my macbook pro (10.6.8) with the usb. Now since IOS5 update it intermittidely recognised it, now it doesnt at all, I plug it in it beeps then nothing, I have tried everything in all the tech services advice. Last week it did finally recognise it and I had time to switch off the wifi syncing which I now realise was a mistake as now I cant sync it at all. I have uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes. Been here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 tried it nothing, tried everything, swearing at the devices is not working, thinking about throwing through a window to see if that helps!
Seriously I need to sync and get all the photos off from past 2 months, why is this not working anymore? Is it a problem with IOS5 10.6.8 snowleopard and 3GS combo?
Can anyone suggest how I get it working again please!!!

I have experienced everything you have and more pixel ate it.
My last sync was around Dec. 14 and have been unable to do so until yesterday. My PC is now freezing, itunes does not want to open and it now sees the iPone as a camera but not recognized in iTunes.
I have tired addition to re-installing iTunes 4 different times: tried to install an older version and rebuilt a compatible library file, deleted and re-built current library versions, started entire computer in safe mode, disabled add-ons, ran a registry fix program, ran a Win-Fix program, done a system restore 2x, re-authorized the iPhone more than twice, turned iCloud off to try sync via USB, ensured I had an 'enhanced' usb port needed for OS5, that I can recount!
My PC was working perfectly until I was able to sync yesterday and it is now back to it sick state. I have no idea why syncing would create such havoc and I am now back to the same state I was in Dec. 14.
What good is a smartphone if Apple isn't smart enough to push out a fix!!??
I replaced my android because my contacts and calendar are my life and now I can neither.

Album Covers Missing

All my album covers show up in Itunes but when I do a backup/sync on my iphone I lose quite a few album covers...I can get them back by restoring to factory settings but the next time I do a back up it takes away the album covers again....any advice on how to get this to stop happening?

I also have album covers missing. I imported all my MP3 songs into itunes as well as downloading new songs from the iTunes shop. I have multiple albums from the same artist, eg The Deltones and some albums have missing artwork, eg Walk like a Man = OK, Tickled Pink = no artwork. Both were purchased as a CD. 3 Neil Diamond albums = no artwork.
Those albums with art work display OK.

ITunes Album Covers Missing

I just completed the software update for iTunes 7.6.2 (9) and now all my album covers show an icon with a broken chain. When I click on album cover view iTunes crashes.
Any suggestions or fixes? Thanks

Hi,
I 've been having the same issue.
One thing I noticed was that it seemed to be like the missing albums were the ones purchased with a different Apple ID (mine but from a different country)... Then I realized that (as you said) it was rather arbitrary since the recently bought ones are either missing or just fine.
But most purchased with a diff ID are missing album covers.
I myself have 4 country IDs since I lived shortly in diff places.
I wish Apple was less constraining regarding this, but I guess it's got to be due to the music houses' rules and conditions...

My iPod Touch 4g will not stop crashing since iOS5 update?

Ever since I updated my iPod Touch 4g with iOS5, most of my apps, and even Safari, The App Store and Youtube, crash often, and it's becoming very annoying. Before the update none of those crashed.My iPod Touch 4g is barely a month old and it crashes probably more than a 2g iPod. I want this to be fixed ASAP but how??

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, try restoring from backup

Some Sounds Not Working Since iOS5 Update On My iPAD 2

Since installing the iOS5 update on my iPad2, I am not getting keyboard click sounds, App sounds or Connection sounds. I did a complete reset and the sounds came back until I restored my backup. Now they're gone again. So obviously it may be something I have setup or a bug in iOS5 I would REALLY have to do a complete reset and setup my iPad2 from scratch again, so any ideas would be appreciated!

First make sure that you have the sounds turned on in Settings>General>Sounds. If they are turned on then read the following.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Music album covers miss-match

I'm really bothered by the fact that my music album covers don't match the actual album. What can I do to fix it so they do match? Has anyone else had this problem?

That happens for some users:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Why can't I reply to emails since ios5 update?

Since I updated to ios 5 I can't reply to mail. I can receive and send mail and type a reply but as I press send the app crashes and returns to the home screen.

This may be a network issue in which case you can go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Other than that it may be an issue with the mail server, so I would try deleting the account from Mail and re-adding it. If neither works, you may have to do a restore.

What version of Windows Media Player do you have installed?

IOS5 update now music "missing" on iPhone

Since updating to iOS5 i have noticed that it has changed some of the Artists names on my iPhone 4. iTunes is still "correct". Everything is done on auto sync.
For example on iTunes if an artist has another artist featuring on the track I will amend the track title to say Song X Featuring Artist X and the Artist stays as the main artist only. Now all songs featuring a second artist appear in a separate list - Dr Dre Featuring Eminem or Snoop Dogg is now as 3 artists not 1 (Dr. Dre)...
Some other examples of music that has moved:
At The Drive In
At The Drive-In
Appears as two separate artists because of the - which is present in itunes for all At The Drive-In songs. Same issue with Blink-182. Another issue: Under artist Justin Timberlake has the "Justified" Album under his name but "Future/Sex/Love/Sounds" is not there. I can only find it under Composers. It has done similar things for Compliations aswell. When this thing happend on my iPod Classic i could manually edit the Artist name on iTunes to make them appear under 1 artist and remove compliations from the search as some artists went missing.
Also some album artwork has gone from my iPhone when it is on iTunes and was on my iPhone prior to the i0S5 update.
Anyone know how to get the artist names to change and all albums appear under artist on my iPhone when iTunes is "correct"?

I have fixed the issue. It does take a little work.
On your itunes view right click and add the album artist list. iOS5 uses the "Album Artist" instead of the "Artist" to sort which is a little odd. If Album Artist is not complete it falls back on Artist. Just ensure that Album Artist is the same as the Artist.
E.g. Blink 182 was coming up as Blink-182 or Blink 182 on different songs. I just made the Album Artist field consistent across all songs. If the song has someone featuring on it i would add this to the song title not the Artist or Album Artist. That solved that part.
Re. Compilations if you go to ipod on your iphone if you click more you can see all your compliations. I don't use this feature i just look under Artist. Therefore i selected every song on my itunes "Get Info" and this and only this tick the part of compliation box and ensure it says NO. The Complations field will be empty for every single song in itunes.
If you wanted to use Complations on things like "Now thats what i call music" or whatever you can go into the song on Get Info and select it as part of compliation.

I cant open email attachments since ios5 update

Since updating to ios5 I cant open email attachments, (word, excel or pdfs)- help please!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My iPhone 4 no longer plays some songs since iOS5 update, how can i get these songs playing again

So ever since I installed iOS5 onto my iPhone 4, some of my music wont play (not all, but some), what will happen is, while on shuffle, my music will play a song normally, then get to a song that it for some reason cannot play and either
a) plays another song, without changing the information about the song, then when the second song is finished playing under the first song's name, it gets to the second song's actual information and stops playing and moves to option b
b) does not play the song, does not skip the song, but has the play icon in the corner next to the battery, but it doesn't show any time going by on the progress bar of the song, but drains my battery
when i shake my iPhone after this (i.e. activates the automatic shuffle) if it happens to land on a song it can play, it skips to the next song.
It is incredibly inconvienient, and i understand that a new operating systems do have bugs, but I would like to be able to fix it as soon as possible
thanks for the help

I found a solution recently, (and well, this is the only apple product I own, so i didn't think to post it) basically what you do is follows
when your iphone is plugged in and you have itunes open, go to the phone page, then to the music page, select sync with library, but then select certain playlists. After that select none of the playlists (removing the music from your phone) and sync, then sync again with the playlists you want selected, and voila! Takes an hour or 2, but you can do it in the background of whatever else you are doing.
Cheers
