Why aren't my album, album artist, or artwork changes appearing on my iPhone or iPad?

Fair warning, I'm pretty sure I have a mild form of OCD. I really like to organize my iTunes library the way I like it. Unfortunately the newer updates to the program have seriously hampered my ability to keep things looking the way I like.
That leads me to my question.
Why aren't the changes I'm making in iTunes appearing on my iPhone or iPad after I've sync'd them?
I spend a lot of time combining albums and matching their artwork, i.e. I've combined a lot of the Glee singles into several albums, but all of the work goes away once I've put the music onto any of my iOS devices.
I've changed the sorting options for everything and turned off my iTunes Match. I've made sure none of them are registered as compilations, but nothing has worked. They all look exactly how I want on my computer then separate into a million pieces on my iPhone and iPad.
If anyone has any insight into this, I would really appreciate it. I'm really close to pulling all of my hair out.

I had the same problem time ago but i discovery that not all songs are on itunes store so i did somethinbg easy, go find the songs you want on youtube or somwehere else then make a copy of that album then cut the image of album save into ur computer then go itunes select the song you want to add the albu, atwork go to the album at work tab then add the image you took it before and sync your ipad you will see the album at work in ur ipad, that is what i did and works for me.
Regards

    why is an address i added to my macbookpro not appearing in my iphone and ipad?

    Did you add it to iCloud contacts or Local contacts. Check and see what lists you have in Addresses Book. Is it showing On My Mac contacts and iCloud? When you select all contacts, does it show duplicates?

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

    It should remain the way you have adjusted them.  Delete the System Preferences.plist per these instructions:

  • TS1468 When I change the album artist name it changes the order of songs, how do I stop this?

    The songs downloaded to my iTunes on my Macbook Pro by CD have divided into different albums. Now I have put them into the same album by changing the Album Artist in File- Get Info but the song order changes; this is a problem as a lot of these albums are from Musical Theatre shows and the songs need to be in chronological order to make sense! Please tell me how I can put them into the same album and also keep them in the same order as on the CD.

    For a full run down see Grouping tracks into albums. Generally to control the order of tracks within an album you need to use appropriate disc and track numbers. You may also need to change the sort column for the view.

  • I have an album on the computer that appears as two on my ipad how do I make them one?

    Ok I am going to go in detail here, so I have a disk that is somewhat damaged and I can only get some of the songs off of it so I whent to itunes and got the songs from that album that were broken and they appear as one album on the computer but it appears as two on my ipad (itunes and the disk) what do I do to make them one album on my ipad?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I just bought a new album but it won't play in iTunes, iPhone or iPad

    Hi,
    i just bought a new album in iTunes for Windows. I downloaded it and tried to play it but iTunes just skips the titles.
    I synchronized the album to my iphone and ipad. Still won't play it. Even if i open the music files in the explorer and try to play it with WMPlayer it doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    the rest of my music still works fine!

  • Why aren't all albums listed under albums in my phone's Music app (home sharing)

    I'm using home sharing to listen to music on my iPhone 4S.  I can access the shared library no problem, but when I go to the Album list, not all albums are there.  Everything that I've recently ripped is there but only 9 out of ~40 albums that I imported to the library (vs ripping) are listed.  If I want to access that music, I can search under Artist. 
    I checked out the Info on albums that are listed vs those that aren't and I can't see a difference - they both have Artist & Album listed under the Info & Sorting tabs. 
    The main iTunes install that is doing the sharing is on a Windows 7 laptop; all the devices accessing the home share are either iOS or OS X.

    Search pointed me here.
    I have the same issue with an iPad3.
    My iPad3, fully up to date will only show 8 albums from a home share and frequently misses all or some of the album art work.
    Music served by latest iTunes on 10.8.2. Other devices like iPhones and older iPads list all the albums and album artwork without issue.
    Did the log out and back in  of home sharing step last night. Fixed it once and then no new albums were showing (converted a few more cds) and this morning I'm back to 8 albums according to iPad3.
    iPhone 4 ... it is all there, instantly, never needed to log out ordoanything ...
    Quite puzzling. All devices are up to date. Presumably the app would be the same for all IOS devices apart from layout.
    It is strange also how it picks 8. It is not like they were the first or last ones added. Or alphabetically first or last by artist or album name. It spans dozens of albums.

  • Why aren't my album cover arts being synced after updating to ios5?

    They display fine in the iTunes library.
    It only started happening after upgrading to ios.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks for your time.
    (iPod touch 4gen)

    Just updating the discussion with the current events.
    After fixing the problem and having it fixed for about a month, iTunes decided to resync all my library and deleted about a third of my albums' artwork. Even though I use manual sync, all my albums were still on my hard drive and they all had their covers correctly assigned.
    This is certainly a bug on either ios5 or iTunes 10.5.1

  • Why aren't my albums viewable from the finder/pictures/iphoto library ?

    When I want to import a photo to a website and I choose the picture file on my hard drive then the iphoto library none of the albums that I have created in iphoto are visible. The only organization is chronological and I have no idea where to find my pictures. I end up having to create a folder on my desktop and import the photos there first. There must be a better way!
    Joan

    Click here for information. The iPhoto Library is a Mac-style package instead of an UNIX-style one; this type of package exists in Mac OS 9, which has no UNIX connection.

  • Why is it that my photo album's folders do not appear on my iPhone?

    I have a folder with several albums on it, but in my iPhone there's just the albums. In itunes you can create a folder of several playlists and have it exactly the same on your iPod, but i havent find a way to do this whit my photos. If you can help me let me know!

  • How do I download a preordered album from the iTunes Store direct on my iPhone or iPad?

    In the store under the album details, where I would expect the cloud icon to be so I can click and download, it says simply "purchased" and gives me no option to download.
    Any help would be massively appreciated

    Sync the iPad with your computer, or click here and follow the instructions.
