Album cover flow

Hi all,
This is probably nothing technical at all but it's something that really bugs me! The album artwork on the cover shows the same album two to three times, is this strange and is there anything i can do to get rid of it. it really annoys me!!!

Hey everyone I'm having an issue with my album work and its not that i just have copies. My album artwork is mixed up... i have 3 of the same albums artworks but on albums they don't belong. For instance on my iron Maiden CD Josh Groban is the cover O.o ... sooooo i would like some help with this please haha.

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.

  • Album Cover Flow View Option????

    I just updated to 11.0.4 version.  What happened to the album cover flow view option in Music?  Is it no longer an option?  If so, I'm NOT happy. The "juke box" feel was nice to flip through and easy for younger kids & grandparents to browse library.  I might have to revert back to earlier version.   Am I missing something?  Thanks for any input! 

    yeah they got rid of it in the new version which is stupid, because when i just have it up while doing other things i like to see the cover art and it's much easier to look through.
    i'm just sorta stuck with a plain text list. it ***** and is ugly. i wish i hadn't of upgraded.

  • HT5457 How do I recover my cover flow for albums?

    If I reset my Iphone to its factory setting, will this restore my album cover flow?

    MacBook Airs don't run Classic.  These two links should be helpful for it:
    Apple Article to reset the password for 10.6.8 and earlier, and 10.7 and later.
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find the operating system.
    If you are totally locked out of the operating system, usually when you Option boot you can find out what you are booting if the machine can boot.

  • Front Row won't do Cover Flow

    Album Cover Flow was working within Front Row a few weeks ago, but not now.
    Any ideas why not?

    Bizarre. This is going to sound weird, I know, but the full-screen Cover Flow now available with the latest itunes update is precisely what I was referring to when I opend this thread! I mean it's exactly what I was excited to have and then couldn't find again until I made the update tonight. I remember using the remote to control features like volume and track selection, which you can do in full-screen Cover Flow, so I suppose that's why I assume(d) it was in Front Row. (I still contend I was in Front Row, though, with Cover Flow.)
    Only thing I can think of is that after purchasing my macbook in late Nov. I had to return it due to hardware issues and maybe during the repair in Dec. it was upgraded with new software? Thank you, Tim

  • Is there a way of making my iPod's "cover flow" sort in the same way the software can . Artist -- Album by Year . It only seems to do Artist -- by Alphabetical Album . I want it look like it does on the PC .

    Is there a way to make the "cover flow" on the iPod match the sort style that I use on the software . I go with Artist -- Album by Release Year . But the ipod seems to only do Artist -- Alphabetical by Album , and then there are a handful of albums oddly out of place . Can it be done ?

    Ottonomy, here's what to do.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
    The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

    Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

  • The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

    Hi Guys,
    I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
    DISCLAIMER:
    1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
    2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
    3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
    PROBLEM:
    An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
    Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
    It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
    RESEARCH:
    Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX
    Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX
    Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
    In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
    Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
    CONCLUSION:
    It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
    Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX.
    Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
    Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
    I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
    So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
    I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
    Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
    Thanks!

    sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
    Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
    I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
    Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

  • Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

    Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
    Well I am having a few problems/questions:
    ---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
    ---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
    1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
    2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
    ---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
    ---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
    ---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

    Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around

  • How do I stop my itunes albums in cover flow from being split up?

    It gets a little confusing- for every possible view of the albums, except cover flow, all of the tracks in one album are clustered together- it works fine.
    when I search for a term in cover flow that would only bring up one album as a result, it comes up as just one album- this is great.
    But- when I search for a common album title term, or if I view every album together, the different albums randomly get split up.
    Example: If I search "machine" in cover flow, the albums "extraordinary machine" and "lungs" (by Florence+ the machine) each get split up 5 times (5 of the same picture, about 2-5 songs under each picture). But, when I search "Florence" I get all the tracks from "lungs" under one picture. (because that is the only result)
    Question: How do I stop this from happening? Its not really affecting anything, it's just inconvenient and flustering.

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.
    Regards.

  • Cover Flow & Album by Artist / Album by Year

    I've been playing with V7 for a few hours now and Cover Flow seems pretty good.
    I generally don't like to mess with the sort order of my 15,000 odd database: I like things to be: sorted by Artist, and within artist by album (either alphabetically or by year). Ideally with compilations at the end of the list.
    I seem to be able to achieve this using using 'Album' heading - which toggles between album, album-by-artist and album-by-year.
    My only 'problem' is that in the Cover Flow view, whilst the ordering is great and I can easily navigate sequentially using the cursor keys, typing a character on the keyboard jumps to the first album with that letter - not the first artist which is what I want.
    Am I missing something (or perhaps just want too much without having to keep re-ordering things)?
    Any ideas...?
    iMac (power PC)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It doesn't seem like it sorts by field or any particular order. It more looks like it sorts by free text, the first match, whatever it is, comes first. That means you'll have to write letters until your lettercombination forms a word/name/album etc that can be found anywhere.

  • Cover Flow Mix Up and Album Song Mix Up Question

    I just got an 80gb ipod and have all my songs on it now. i am just about finished with getting all of the album covers that i didnt have into my itunes now. i didnt get any of the album covers from itunes, i just did a search for all of em in google.
    anyways, for some reason i have one song from the red hot chili peppers greatest hits album (soul to squeeze) and if you click on get info and then click on artwork the correct cover is there but in the cover flow and album view its zz tops greatest hits cover and underneath it reads greatest hits and then underneath that its Various Artists. My Queen greatest hits album has the same zz top cover and reads the same as well, lol. i cant figure out how to fix this.
    one more thing before i go guys, i have a couple of albums where the songs are not together but the artist and album names are the same, ive retyped the artists name and album to see if i somehow made a mistake the first time but they are still seperate, what the heck else can i do. its annoying have an album where the songs are not together?
    once i fix these problems am i going to have to resynch my ipod again, i have 6thousand plus songs, that took forever the first time i did that. im hopin i can just plug the ipod into itunes and it will just fix what is different??
    thanks, guys
    Message was edited by: gconley

    nope, the songs are not mixed up at all. like i said, its just the album art and the artist name underneath the album which reads "various artists". my queen greatest hits and my red hot chili peppers greatest hits say the same thing and both have my zz top greatest hits album cover lol.
    now if you click get info on the album the artwork is the correct artwork which blows my mind.
    somebody please helps, its so annoying.
    thanks
    one more thing, do i have to resync my whole ipod again just to get the album artwork on there or is there a faster way than having to resync 6thousand plus songs?? ive actually never resync so maybe it will just add stuff thats different instead of just putting everything back on??

  • Album view and Cover Flow problem

    Well, im going to get one of the new ipods soon and they have that Cover Flow feature which is pretty cool. Anyway i have a problem, when i try and sort them by album, i go to Album View and even if the album names are the same, they arnt in the same box, because they have various artists. Ill show some pics now.
    http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9604/probz1nm0.jpg
    See how they arnt in the same box because of their artists? Then when i go to Cover Flow tab, to see how it will look on my ipod it comes up like this
    http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6366/probz2wu4.jpg
    All the ones without artcovers so far, are all the songs from the album "MOS" like you saw in the previous picture. So does anyone know how to fix that problem? Because i dont want like 20 MOS albums showing up on the Ipod with only 1 song in each of them when i can have them all in one.
    Thanks

    You need to select the "Compilation" button on each to overide the fact that there is a different artist for each song. think about it, the chances of two different artists having the same name for an album is pretty big. How is any music jukebox supposed ot know that they're the same....
    select all the songs, open apple/control "I" and click on compilations on bottom right.
