Browsing album covers under Itunes latest version (ver. 7)
I have downloaded the current version of Itunes (v 7.0), and now, when I select the "Album Covers View", I get the message that "Itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". In the earlier version of Itunes, I could browse Album Covers. Anybody know why this arises in version 7, and how do I fix it? I like to browse my album covers!

ITunes 7 cannot browse album covers on this computer error and crash
Installed iTunes 7 yesterday, and now every time I try to go to certain pages in the iTunes store, such as movies or tv shows, I get an error saying "iTunes cannot browse album covers on this computer". Then iTunes immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fix??
Compaq Windows XPI have the same issue. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I was on the Cover Flow View and it was working fine. I clicked on the full screen icon and the entire screen went random (meaning totally random pixels of color all over). I pressed the escape key and the normal screen returned, but it only showed a black section where the covers had previously been. I restarted iTunes and it started giving me the same message. I also can see them in the lower left and on the Album View. Just the Cover Flow view doesn't work. I downloaded the latest iTunes today and I keep all of the Windows updates on.

I just built a new Computer and sucessfully moved my iTunes Library and music over (Windows 7, Itunes 10.3.1.55). I am getting a message on the cover flow view that states, "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". This Cover Art is showing in all other views, so it is there. I upgraded QuickTime and even install Safari. This did not work. I have a very large music collection and prefer the coverflow navigation. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I too am having a very similar problem with cover artwork in Itunes version 10.3.1.55 for my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. Certain Artists or Albums cover art will not show up and also when I try to manually add my own cover to the album it does not save. I can however, view with the coverflow option but its useless without all the cover art. I would greatly appreciate any help with fixing this very annoying problem.
I've looked into the direct x suggestions and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks anyway, Polydorus. -

please helplizzy17,
You'll have to go back and check the specific graphics card you have (step 5 of the instructions).
If it's one of the following -
Mobility™ Radeon® X1800 XT
Mobility™ Radeon® X1800
Mobility™ Radeon® X1600
Mobility™ Radeon® X1400
Mobility™ Radeon® X1300
Mobility™ Radeon® X800 XT
Mobility™ Radeon® X800
Mobility™ Radeon® X700
Mobility™ Radeon® X600
Mobility™ Radeon® X300
Mobility™ Radeon® 9800
Mobility™ Radeon® 9700 series
Mobility™ Radeon® 9600 series
- you should be able to proceed from here with step 10 of the instructions.
Post back if you need any more clarification. -

Hello All, first time posting here....hope someone can help! I have upgraded two versions of Itunes for my PC, the and I still cannot browse album artwork. I can see artwork for my playlists and main library, but when I click the far right button, I guess it would be called the Cover Flow button, I get a message saying "Itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer."
I installed Itunes for my gf last night on her pc, and that feature works great, but not on mine. Am I missing something?
thanks,
KellyThanks for the link, most helpful article! Looks like my video card is probably not updated, so looks like I'll have to update the drivers or may get a new video card, been wanting to get one anyways. I've downloaded a driver for my card from the SIS site, now it's in a zip file and I don't know how to open it! I'm running something called WinRar (i think)

Browse Album Covers not working
When I try to browse my songs by album cover, it displays the message, "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer." Any ideas on what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks.
here you go http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304402 thats the link to what apple is saying is going on
what the heck is a graphic card and how do i find
mine?????
trust me, if you have an operating system newer than M.E. then you have a graphics card larget than 8 MB, but to find out what kind of card you have click on srart>run> then type in "dxdiag"(dont put the "") and hit ok, it will probley give you a box that says something like it needs to update, just hit ok, you will come to your system information, click on the display tab and under approx. total memory it should tell you -
Hello,
I'm using itunes version 7.0.2.16 But when I try to use the browse facility, I get the message "itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer"...
It does however show the artwork in the "now playing" box
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Geoff RobinsonHere are the minimum system requirements for iTunes 7.0.2:
Windows Requirements
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 7.1.3 (included)
256MB RAM
Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
Additional Video Requirements
2.0 GHz Pentium class processor or better
512MB RAM
32MB video RAM
Does your computer meet the additional video requirements? Keep in mind that these are minimum specifications and Coverflow does not work well at this minimum level. It seems to require much more RAM and video memory to run smoothly. -

After a download of an update too long, I decided to cancel it and now my iPhone is stuck. I can not use it anymore.My Iphone can start but after that the apple disappears, I have a black background. I tried to restore it but iTunes (latest version) crashes. Whan can I do ??
Thanks.You mean you tried to hack/jailbreak it. ONLY the carrier a phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
You've voided your warranty and forfeited your right to support here and from Apple. Congratulations. You now own an iBrick. Hope it was worth it.
