Blurry Cover Flow on iPhone?

Hey everyone,
I noticed in 1.1.2 and now in 1.1.3, that my cover art in cover flow view will blur after a few flicks and only become focused if I either:
1. Exit the iPod app and enter it again.
2. Start a CD, then go back.
Both things work for a few flicks then its back to blur again. A lot of my art tagged with my files is at least 400x400 or higher. (Older stuff being 300x300, new stuff being 500x500 plus)
Any thoughts on this?

im having same problem too. when i turn phone and make it go to cover flow.. it does it but the first like 3 album pictures left and right are in good resolution but then the ones after that are less clear and when i scroll back to the album i originally was at it becomes blurry too. lol i had my songs skipping and i did the thing where u unplug internet and then sync phone well it worked but recently all my album pictures are gone lol.

  • Blurry Cover Flow Scrollbar on Intel-GMA Macs?

    I noticed many people are suffering the blurry cover flow scrollbars in iTunes ever since 7.0.0, it never got better even in 7.1. While other people are saying no problems at all no matter what they do.
    Also it seems this bug only happens on Macbooks and Mac-minis, both of which are using intel-GMA graphic cards. I don't know what Mac are being used in the development of iTunes, but I think Macbook Pros and iMacs are preferred. The developpers may never know this. And I think the difference between intel Graphic Units and independent Graphic cards may lead this problem.
    Let's hope developpers to solve this. Does this problem happen on other kind of Mac?

    I had actually not encountered this little quirk until I updated my Mac mini to 10.4.9... when I did, this occured. Happens in the iTunes window (which is temporarily fixed by adjusting the Cover Flow display size) and in full-screen, both the scrollbar and the volume toggle are blurry. Updated from 7.1 to 7.1.1, same thing. Tried in another user account, same thing. I deleted my root-level cache (/Library/Caches), same thing. Aside from totally re-installing iTunes, I'm at a loss as to what to do, and it's such a minor thing that re-installing the application seems pretty drastic. Hope someone figures this out. Definitely gonna keep plugging away at this, though, and I'll post if I figure out if there's a fix for this.

  • Blurry Cover Flow Icons

    All of a sudden my icons in cover flow view are blurry. Any ideas how can I fix it? A file by file fix is impractical. I have hundreds of thousands of image files.

    the .icns file has the icon image embedded inside of it. the proper way to change the icon of an application is to great a NEW .icns file and replace the one in the package contents of the particular app you're working on. (make sure to back the original up in case you want it later.)
    this may be done with various programs. pixadex is one program that can be used to convert .png or .tiff to .icns.
    if you have the Developer Tools, there is a new app called IconComposer which can also create the .icns files too.
    once you've changed the .icns file inside the application, finder will source that file and consequently change the icon. [sometimes in the past with tiger for example, there could be competition between the cut and paste method and the .icns file method. i haven't explored this yet in leopard.]
    as far as iLife, are you using the previous version of iLife? if so, then they are of a lower resolution.

  • Cover Flow Scroll Bar is Blurry

    Hey,
    In cover flow, I notice that the scroll bar is blurry. I've found a temporary fix for it by resizing the cover flow window which resets the horizontal scroll bar to a clear, crisp image. However, as soon as you go back to whatever source (Libary, or any of my playlists) you were originally in, the scroll bar appears blurry again.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and know a way to fix it?

    It happened to me too, right after I went into full screen mode and scrolled. It was fine before that. Here's a screenshot: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e135/aqua-star/Picture4.png

  • Iphone pauses and flips to cover flow and back with other earphones

    If I use any other earphones than the ones that are provided, my iphone pauses and plays randomly, and flips to cover flow and back without any movement... any help?

    Connect the two devices that are showing large backups to your computer and check the capacity guage in iTunes to see how large "Other" is.  Sometimes this can grow to be extrememly large, requiring you to restore the device to reduce it to a more reasonable level (approx. 1GB).

  • Blurry images in cover flow view

    why do my tiff files (primarily) look so blurry when I switch to cover flow view on my new mac? I've seen posts about this issue as far back as 2007- has apple still not fixed this, or is it just me? As a photographer it's a major annoyance to have to zoom in on each image to get a good look at it. Little help?

    I actually figured out the answer to this one myself, with the help of someone's previous post about creating new thumbnails with a little app called CocoThumbX, which can be used to strip image files of their thumbnails and create new ones. I almost gave up on it, because the new thumbnails I was generating from it didn't show up any clearer. But then I used it to remove thumbnails only, without creating new ones afterward, and the images now look as they should in cover flow. I don't know if there are any negative side effects of not having thumbnails, or even where the original thumbnails were located in the system, but wherever needed, the computer seems to be generating it's own thumbnails for the images, and they're looking good. Hope this helps.

  • Cover Flow Images Blurry--numbers and pages files only

    I was using the Cover Flow view in Finder today, and noted that the images associated with Apple software files--pages and numbers were blurry.  pdfs, Word or Excel files show up crisp and clear, as do images.
    This ocurs on both my iMac and MacBook.  Is there a preference setting somewhere that needs to be set to get the file "images" to show up sharp? (I had a similar problem with .jpgs created in Photoshop, and learned there was a setting in PS to not save thumbnail images that solved the sharpness problem there.)
    Thank you.

    I use Creative Cloud storage. Want them there. At this point, I can't do that at all. It won't open anything not saved there.
    In the past people have reported problems with saving Numbers 3 documents to cloud services other than iCloud. For example, see this thread. For a while even Dropbox didn't work well, though Dropbox has since fixed that. I think the problems have something to do with the fact that a Numbers document isn't a "file"; it's actually a collection of files organized in a folder that looks like one file in Finder.  I understand that the Numbers 3 format is optimized for fast cross-platform sync; in that respect, it is certainly a big step forward from previous versions.  Some cloud services seem to trouble with the format, though, and that may be what you are seeing.

  • Cover Flow Blurry

    Some problems with cover flow. Most of my images (jpegs, etc.) are blurry in cover flow. They look wonderful in quick view, but return to pixelated, blurry appearance in cover. These are high resolution (8 or 10 MP) images. I also do not get any thumbnail in coverflow for my purchased tv shows and videos from iTunes. Video podcasts are fine, avi movies are fine, but purchased mp4 files show as a generic icon.

    while deleting a thumbnail/icon (by hand or with cocothumbx) might be a quick solution for photos, i expect coverflow to handle this correctly for me. when dealing with thousands of photographs, automatic export from aperture, batch processing in photoshop/bridge etc, i shouldn't have to deal with thumbnails, should i?
    coverflow simply isn't where it should be. i also find it strange that quicklook and coverflow seam to use different algorithms to render files. try an adobe illustrator file for example. the finder doesn't show the content as icon (in a folder), coverflow renders the content/artboard correctly, quicklook only displays the oversized icon. what the...?

  • IPhone work switch to Cover Flow, portrait view when turned on its side!

    Hi
    I have only had my phone for a week and its seems to have just stopped switching to Cover Flow or portrait view in Safari or when looking at photos when its turn on its side.. but everything else appears to work fine...
    I've restarted, refreshed, recharged, reinstalled the software from scratch and its still the same...
    Any ideas?

    That's the weird thing. In all the apps I have the accelerometer appears to rejoster the motion correcty.
    I have an app with a small ball that moveswhen you tilt or rotate the iPhone and this clearly register the rotation perfectly. So I can only assume the accerometer is working fine.
    But when I go to Safari and rotate the iPhone on it's side it doesn't rotate the browser as it should.
    When I go into iTunes and again rotate the iPhone it doesn't change to cover flow.
    And again when looking at pictures it doesn't rotate the image.
    The annoying thing is that it all used to work and only just seems to have stopped, yet nothing has happened to have caused this.

  • Blurry/Scaled Down Artwork Column and Cover Flow are in 9.2

    i have noticed on my iMac 27" that the album artwork is really blurry, and when i double click the art work at the left bottom and enlarge it, it looks fine. For some reason Apple scales down the pixel size of images and it looks really blurry. Before it was the standard 600x600 artwork that looked beautiful but not anymore..
    This is an infuriating problem as I have taken a lot of time to embed high res art in my fles. The art still remains hi res in the bottom left, but in cover flow or the album artwork column it is a crappy looking blurry image.

    I noticed this also. And yes, it infuriates me too. I used to browse my music collection in Cover Flow on a 46" LCD. Not any more since iTunes 9.2. iTunes 9.2 comes with several new features and improvements, including this one: "Album Artwork improvements make artwork appear more quickly when exploring your library".
    It turns out that the album artwork cache build by iTunes consists of scaled down copies with a size of 128x128!!! These scaled down copies are used in the album artwork column, grid view, and cover flow. Not much you can do about it except give feedback (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html). That's what I did.

  • Artwork in Cover Flow is blurry

    For some reason the album covers in the cover flow view are very blurry. I realize that it gets less sharp as you make the image larger, however when I click on the album cover in the lower left hand corner, and make it the same exact size as the artwork in the cover flow, the image from the bottom left corner is noticeably sharper. Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks in advance,
    Lucas

    I’ve sorted it. I clicked on the info tab and it shows each of the tracks as being part of a compliation - I just un-ticked the box and the artowrk now displays correctly

  • Blurry Scroll Bar in Cover Flow. Help?

    Well... i've had my new macbook for about 3 weeks. have about 100 songs in there so far. on itunes. today my friend sent me mp3 files and the moment i got them i put them in itunes. the problem is i discovered that after putting the songs on itunes, the scroll bar on the cover flow became blurry.
    i quit itunes and started it again and the scroll bar was normal again. but then i went into the itunes store and came back to my music, in cover flow and the scroll bar was blurry again.
    what does this mean? VIRUS?
    obviously something is not steady here. any words? thanks.

    This definitely isn't a show-stopper, but it is annoying (Don't fret -- its not a virus. Nor does it have anything to do with your Music collection.). I have the same glitch with Cover Flow. I've found its relatively easy to (temporarily) fix: all you need to do is resize the iTunes window (by just 1 pixel will do).
    Hopefully this is more permanently fixed in a future version of iTunes.
    For those who are wondering what I'm talking about, when I open iTunes in Cover Flow mode the horizontal scroll bar (slider) is nice and crisp. However, if I switch to another application, or simply click into another section of iTunes (like Movies, or the iTunes Store) and then click back to my Library of Music, the Cover Flow horizontal scroll bar often appears fuzzy, or blurry. Resizing the iTunes window temporarily fixes the glitch (at least, until I switch sections again).
    Here's a screenshot comparing the crisp and blurry scrollbars:

  • IOS 5 Cover Flow really slow on iPhone 4

    Hi.
    Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, Cover Flow in Music app is terribly slow... Lag to see the covers. I've heard over there that iOS 5 doesn't reduce the size of the covers to a standard, so the iPhone has to resize them everytime you watch them.
    And.. When device locked, playing music and you double tap to change the song, the cover also changes with a "long" lag..
    Anyone having these problems?

    Well, apparently the resizing thing is true.. If your cover is 1000x1000, the iPhone will resize to a lower resolution when it has to show the cover. Imagine doing this for loads of covers in "Cover Flow", the A4 is not that powerful.
    Two possibilities, Apple does it on purpose so we buy the "extremely fast" iPhone 4S or it's a bug. Pretty sure about the second one. Everything else runs great with iOS 5. But Music app with Cover Flow and changing songs when locked really *****. Such a pity. Hope they fix this soon.

  • IPhone 4s cover flow slow down and jerky help

    Hi all
    i have copied my music over from my backup 3GS to iPhone 4s but in cover flow it is very very jerky and not as smooth at all, my 3gs is way smoother an much better than on the iphone 4s it even has problems loading the covers up as there is a delay in doing so as it seems to b slow
    whats happend there not as good as my 3GS
    So i tried to remove all songs and turned off the iPhone and powered the phone back up and put the music back on and its still jerky and not as smooth what the hells going on this phone should breeze through cover flow view
    My 3GS is still on iOS 4 does anyon have the same problems ? Try to scroll fast and it just jerks and slows down but like I say not on the 3gs
    Any help

    Hi, I have the same problem with my 4s.  After reading all the suggestion on this and simmilar forums I checked my picture files assigned to my albums.  I selected in iTunes an album, then right click to get pop up menu, selected "get info.  Then I went to artwork, copied it (right click, copy), then I copied the picture to picture editor to see the properties.  I noticed that some of my pictures assigned to albums are huge, something like 2000 x 2000 pix.
    When I repliced them with smaller ones, i.e. max 600 x 600, everything become smoth.  Now my cover flow work perfectly as it should be.  Definitly ther must be something wrong with iOS5 because before I did not notice such a problem on 3GS of 4 model, even I had the big picture assigned to the album
