Apple Music album artwork not showing?

I recently updated to iOS12 and I tried everything suggested in this thread. Didn't work for me either. However when I switched both apple music and iCloud library on and off in settings, the album art loaded properly. So try that.

Hi,

Eventually I tried to free up some more space on my iPhone ( I still had like 1,5 Gb now like 3,5 gb) and then the artworks just loaded instantly, I hope it works for the others too

I also freed up storage space on my phone after having no success with any of the other methods mentioned, and the artwork finally came back. I went from about 1Gb free to 3.3Gb free and that did the trick

Hi there!

I had the exact same problem as all of you where nothing would show except for the Apple Music logo on my covers. After trying all these solutions, nothing worked until I went onto my Macbook and plugged my iPhone in. I then went into the Summary where it shows your space available and Backups as well as the Serial Number and such. I did "Back Up Now" then hit "Restore Backup" immediately after so I have the exact same iPhone before I restored and when the process finished, ALL of my covers came back! Hope this is helpful!

Hey guys since I wasn’t the only person with this problem I figured I share what helped me out.

1. Off Load 3-5 apps that totals 1-2 gigs at Max.

2. Turn Apple Music ICloud Off Then On.

3. Open Apple Music.

After that you should see the artwork start popping up.

Hope this helps out. ✊-1F3FE;

You need to:

remove all downloaded music in the Music app

(only if you downloaded it from Music to iPhone. if you only added it to the library ignore this step)

• switch off iCloud Music Library in both iPhone settings and iTunes
• backup iPhone to computer or iCloud or both through iTunes
• restore iPhone to factory settings through iTunes
• restore iPhone to the backup though iTunes
• turn iCloud Music Library back on in both iTunes and iPhone settings
• Update iCloud Music Library through iTunes
• sync iPhone through iTunes

Open the Music app on iPhone - all the artwork will be back.

Your library should be back on your iPhone once you:

• turn iCloud Music Library back on (both in iTunes and on iPhone)
• "Update Music Library" in iTunes
• sync your iPhone

That is how it worked for me.

You could also try deleting the Music app and re-downloading it to reset everything inside it.

This was happening to me too. I read the previous suggestions and none worked so.... this is what I do. I do apply some of the previous suggested steps and added a couple of caveats not mentioned, I hope this helps, (if you haven't resolved this issue):

• From my iPhone went to Settings/Music/iCloud Music Library

  Turned Off/On

• From my iPhone still in Settings/General/iPhone Storage

  Offloaded Apps I don't frequently use, (to create space)

• From my Mac went to Apple Music/iTunes Match

  Refreshed

• Rebooted Phone

This takes me about 2 - 3 minutes and I get my artwork back. During my last phone software update, I didn't have enough storage space, so I needed to offload some apps to create space. Once I did that and updated my phone software, I noticed my album artwork came back as well. So I just followed this same process once my album artwork stopped downloading.

I hope this works for you.

The turning off iCloud Music and Apple Music thing will not work. Forced reset will not work. What will work? Signing out of your apple id on your device. Then logging back into everything. Finally worked for me.

Because of some conflict with my windows device, I had to properly reinstall iTunes. At the opening I was asked if I wanted to share information on my library with apple, it was written that this might help synchronizing devices and displaying artwork. While the iTunes app on windows wasn't giving me any problem till this day, I've been experiencing issues on my iPhone 5s with iTunes for a while.

Now everything is downloaded and displayed correctly.

The privacy setting can be modified on the windows application as following: Edit>Preferences>Store and tick the "Share details about your library with Apple".

Hope this can help.

Not sure why there is not an APPLE solution to this yet (or at least I cannot find one posted) but I did find a fix for this bug myself.

This issue she seems to be centered around “downloaded music”. Whenever I added new albums, the artwork wold not show up until I went into “downloaded music”, selected an album, and did delete > remove downloads. Sometimes I had to do a few, but all the recent added albums artwork would magically show up.

Everytime this issue occurred again, I would just delete a downloaded album (again just the stored music, not remove from library).

So naturally I got to the point where artwork was not showing up, but I had nothing left to remove from downloads. The solution to this is super dumb, and proves something very BUGGY is going on.

Select an album in your library. Downloaded it to phone. Once it’s done. Delete the downloads. All the blank album artwork showed up instantly.

Apple. Fix this crap...

Turning iCloud Music Library off and on worked for me, hope this helps.

Turning off music iCloud library in my settings and turning it back on helped me. All artwork is appearing and I can download songs again.
