Q: Artist Artwork is missing in iTunes 12.5
Hey everyone,
First off I am running iTunes 12.5.1 and iOS 10.0.1 on my Macbook Air and iPhone SE respectively.
In previous versions of both iTunes and iOS, iTunes has automatically added Artist artwork to my music collection. No, not Album artwork. Artist artwork.
Above you can see the artist Passenger has a blank artwork, whereas Pete Murray has the artist artwork
Both artists have all of their albums with the correct names and correct artwork, but the only difference between the two is that i have purchased one of Pete Murray's albums. So why has Passenger's disappeared? How can I add it again?
Thank you for all your help,
Grant
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but I've found it to work on my iPhone (haven't tried it on my Mac yet) but if you go into settings > mobile and turn on the Music app, all of the artworks reappear. The only reasoning I can put it down to is simply my music app was unable to connect to the internet to source the artist images. It's worked for roughly 90% of my library so I don't know what's happened to the other 10% but for now, it's a step in the right direction!!
Everyone else give it a shot, make sure your Music app is able to access the Internet and see if it makes a difference at all
