Artist Photos Missing in iTunes 12.5.1

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

First of all the theory that this BUG is caused by content that is not purchased from the sore is completely false. Of my almost 10,000 songs 90% is purchased from the iTunes store. Absolutely all artists in iTunes that have missing artwork for are purchased content. Furthermore the artists that are missing pictures on my iPhone are completely different. Maybe a purchase causes a refresh, I do not know. But what is absolute is that this is not isolated to purchased vs. non purchased content

You must be very wealthy spending $9,900 for 10,000 songs. 😁 Are you sure it was an iTunes store? Because hundreds of songs I purchased from Apple, the artist is showing on my desktop.

All from itunes and all that are missing are absolutley itunes purchases. And many that are missing in itunes have the pictures on my iphone. Also many that are missing on my iphone I have in itunes. I also never said I spent $9900. I simply saod around 90% of the library are itunes purchases and they are. My guess is that maybe a purchase causes itunes to update the photo. But it is not absolute

I think we must go in the street and manifest.

Who make big sign ?

It will be interesting to see, how many Apple fans would leave iTunes store because of this issue. There are so many similar companies offer memberships. I am staying with Apple, though. It would be very disappointing to see that issue not fixed.

is there any way to fix this other than re-purchase? I thought if we had music on CDs that we uploaded to the paid service I Match then it would keep the photos for both album art and artist? I may be wrong, probably am, but I am nearing the point of seeing many other offerings in this space that I don't know if I can justify paying Apple the monthly money for cloud storage etc. What is the value proposition any longer when I can get space anywhere for free or next to free? I love Apple stuff, but it seems they are missing the mark repeatedly on their clunky after market iTunes product and changing it (not for the better in my opinion) as often as the weather here in Michigan. . .

SIck

ofcall this **** now. Nothing to do with purchases now so e are we keep

herrin idiots saying otherwise? It's a farce. Apple won't fix it trust me.

IMove cancelled my auto Renew match feature, that's it. I'm done with iTunes. Not devices just iTunes.

Worst update apple have have ever done. What I can't get my head around is that they must

be aware.

That is incorrect I have Apple Music membership 9.99 a month and all songs, Albums I add to my library dont have artworks, I don't have.... not even 1 album with artwork. Trying to force it using "get artwork" from the dropdown menu doest do anything. It must be a bug from iTunes 12.5.1 I have sent feedbacks to Apple to fix this. Let's hope 😉

Actually this does NOT appear to be an iTunes 12.5.1 issue at all. The Artist artwork is certainly missing in many instances in the latest version of iTunes. But the same photos are also missing in the latest version of the Music app in iOS 10.1. And when I search Apple Music for any of the artists with missing photos in either of these apps the artist photo isn't there either. In a nutshell, Apple seems to be migrating towards both of these apps showing whatever promotional imagery the music labels provided to Apple Music. Which is fine but clearly the service doesn't have such imagery for a LOT of artists. Not to mention how many users don't subscribe to Apple Music so their libraries should not be depending upon that service. At a minimum if Apple Music is missing a photo it should fall back to the iTunes Music Store (which is in fact ... separate). And if no promotional imagery is available there it should fall back to the album artwork. In a nutshell this isn't a "bug". It's a fundamental "design" issue. Just my 2 cents ....

I am not going to dispute about who's issue it was or is, but it was working fine with all iTune versions before the latest one. The Apple store did not change, the new revision of iTunes did. We have had all the artists data on our computer because it was showing when I was offline. That means that the new iTunes 12.5.1 is not displaying it. Unless the new update of iTunes erased the data.

I will dispute this. I bet there is a common bug. But I have different artists missing on my iphone that is in itunes.

Some of the pictures that are blank in itunes are not blank in the music app. And also visa versa

UUtter nonsense. Some of the artists show in iTunes but then don't in my ios10 iPhone 7, nothing matches. It's all random access all my devices, iPad, iPhone, iMac.

Interesting. I'm not seeing this at all my devices. I'm running macOS Sierra 10.2.1 with iTunes 12.5.1 on my Mac. And iOS 10.1 on my iPhone 7 Plus. I also use Apple Music and iCloud Music Library. And on my devices every photo that's missing in the artist view list is missing in iTunes, the Music app, and the Apple Music page for me. Without exception.

iTunes 12.5.2 was released has anyone confirmed a fix? I'm still on 12.4.2 and don't wish to chance it yet.
