Bug report - Finder crashes in Cover Flow mode with large files

I just came back from the Apple store and was told that I have discovered another bug in Leopard. When in Cover Flow view in Finder and trying to browse directories with large ( multiple GB) files, Finder continually crashes and reboots, oftentimes with 2 new FInder windows.
I created a new user on my MBP to remove the effect of any preferences and the problem repeated itself.
Come up Apple... get on top of these bugs and issue some patches...
Not the kind of new OS I expected from a top notch company like Apple.

Ah... that'll be it then, they are 512 x 512. well i guess that bugs been hanging around for quite some time now, anyone got any ideas if anyone's trying to fix it? i guess making 128 x 128 icons wouldn't be the end of the world but it does seem like a step backwards.
one thing that still confuses me... an icon file contains icons of all sizes, why does cover flow not select the right size icon to display?
thanks for that info V.K., much obliged.
regards, Pablo.

  • Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

    You are stuck with giving PS less than 70% of the RAM resources or else you will starve computer and it may crash.
    And if you run any other programs at the same time it takes more computer resources to keep everything running.
    If running huge files you don't have many options.  It may work better in CS5 or less as seems like every new version takes more horsepower, and CS6 sends a lot of work to the video card.

  • Missing album art work in cover flow mode

    why would i have a missing album in cover flow mode on my ipod classic, but be able to see the same album in itune on my computer. it does shows up under artist catagory, just not cover flow. i have deleted the art work and re copied it, re synced and restarted and still no album cover. also, not marked as a compliaction either. thoughts?
    thx

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • Problems with "Cover flow" mode

    I read some posts about wrong order of songs or pictures in cover flow mode, but I think the problem is much more serious:
    I wanted to delete the junk pictures that I downloaded from my iPhone and I decided to do that in the cover flow mode because I thought it was the most convenient view mode.
    I browsed the pictures and when I decided I wanted to delete one I would push Command+Delete. I noticed that the picture I was trying to delete would stay there. I tried again and again and it wouldn't go away. I tried that multiple times on multiple files and eventually I noticed that the finder was actually deleting files, but unfortunately not the highlighted ones. I found multiple pictures in the trash that I didn't want to delete.
    Anybody has the same experience? Any comment? Haven't Apple geniuses noticed that yet?

    Hi, Hack2er.
    Let us know if this article in the Apple Knowledge Base relates to your problem.

  • Cover Flow view with shared library?

    I use iTunes for Windows on my laptop and share my library from my iMac...is there a way to utilize cover flow view with a shared libary?

    Since just moving all my music to a NAS I was here researching the same issue. I can see the other three (only when music is specifically selected) but not Cover Flow. I believe it has been disabled. I played around with grid view with 428 albums and iTunes for Windows loads the art fresh evertime you start it and, on the smallest art size in grid view, it took a bit of time to load all the art.
    If Cover Flow needs to cache up all the art work in advance then I could see how it would easily take my setup between 45 seconds to a minute to cache them all up.
    Perhaps that would feel too clunky for Apple especially if one were to aggressively swipe through a set that wasn't completely cached.

    I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the  picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
    Thanks for any help,
    Graham

    I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

  • 16.0.2 crashes with large file uploads

    Hi, I have noticed that Firefox 16.0.2 crashes when I try uploading a large file (1.2GB) to a website.
    The entire browser closes and I get a window offering to submit a report for me. Can anybody tell me what I need to change to stop this from happening please?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Be sure to rollback to 16.0.1; the initial v16 update had serious security flaw.

  • ITunes (Win) crashing when trying to match/upload large files

    Hi there,
    I've got a little problem with iTunes Match again. Imho it is still veeery buggy but it certainly improved a bit!
    So the problem is:
    I am listening to mixes a lot - meaning: large mp3 files with runtimes up to 3hrs.
    When I load files like these into my iTunes lib on Windows 7 and then try to upload them into the cloud 9 out of 10 times iTunes simply crashes while analyzing these large files ("iTunes stopped working"). Nothing I can do. Even trying to upload these files one by one didn't help.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about this?
    thanks, cheers
    P

    Thanks for the reply!
    I know that 200mb is the limit. But as you already noted it should just say "not compatible" or whatever but not just simply crash. Problem is I can't have these tracks in my iTunes library then because every time I try to sync my lib with Match it tries to sync these files as well and iTunes just simply crashes.
    I also have a Macbook so I will try to upload the files via iTunes on the Mac. If that doesn't help last idea may be to reduce file size ... although I hate doing this as I prefer 256kbit files.
    Split into two would be another idea.
    Anyways I had these problems with large files couple of times already but could always fix it by syncing one file at a time. not this time though.

  • Cover Flow mode crashes on iOS 5.0.1

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded my iPod touch 4 to iOS 5.0.1. As a result, I can't use Cover Flow at all because it causes 'Low Memory' error and, as a result, stops playing, shows a rotating progress bar and 'Enter Passcode' screen at the end. (BTW, I have only a few albums on the device not, not hundreds or more)
    Thus, the only way I fixed it now - locked screen rotation in Portrait mode preventing Cover Flow. But it's not a best option, I'm sure.
    Could anybody suggest how to reduce overall RAM consumption? I've turned off such things as FaceTime etc, disabled most of notifications. It didn't help. I've read here only about slow Cover Flow, but not about crashing.
    In addition, I'd be glad to be able to downgrade back to iOS 4.3.5. But seems I can't do it legally, can I?
    BTW, why iTunes doesn't give me a chance to decide to do upgrade or not? For example, it can display a requirements of new OS version, compared with device hardware I have, therefore I can see that 256 MB RAM is not enough. It would be fair. But now I'm at 'trap' - iTunes didn't prevent updating which actually makes things worse, but doesn't allow to downgrade back...
    Thanks

    Hey was looking for an article about these cover flow errors finally. As for my itouch 4.3 no errors, but after upgrading to 5.0 I am experienceing the crashes.I got my earlies itouch replaced for this error but the new one I recieved 3 days ago also had the same problems.I believe its the firmware.Pls let me know if you find anything.

  • Annoying bug: Duplicate albums in the Cover Flow view

    When viewing my music via the Cover Flow view (sorting Album by Artist) I frequently come across an album that appears twice. For example, I see two copies of Florence and the Machine's "Lungs" side by side. The first copy contains the first track on the album and the second copy has the remainder of the album.
    My first thought was "Oh, I must have mislabeled the album field of that first track so it's being saved as a different album... maybe I put in an extra space or something." But when I view the album in the Finder, all the tracks are in the same album folder. Just to be sure, I selected all the tracks on the album in iTunes and made sure the Album info field was correct, checked the checkbox, and clicked OK. Still nothing changes.
    I was finally able to fix this by selecting all the tracks on the album in iTunes and changing the Album info field to a completely NEW name (in this example "Lungs TEMP", then selecting them all again and renaming them BACK to the CORRECT name (Lungs). Ta da... Yea. Now there's only one "Lungs" album in Cover Flow.
    No big deal if I only had to do this once, but this bug exists all over the place! 11,000 songs is a lot to sort through. It's almost like iTunes is caching bad data somewhere, but I don't know how to delete this cache.
    Ideas? Anyone else seen this behavior?

    It happens... See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more.

  • Error in Cover Flow mode on Ipod Touch

    Since updating to version 2.2 my list of music tracks in List View Mode is correct. However when I hold my Touch in landscape mode and it changes to Cover Flow some of the tracks and artist names are incorrect. I have also found that some album covers show incorrectly. Any ideas please?

    Hi, i have the same problem, restore the device two times, and put the music in auto sync, and manually, a few albums, a lots albums, the problem is the same, and in the album list the problem persist but is less problematic.
    This is a huge bug, is an IPOD, is for music!!!!
    For other way, the "STORE" button is a crap, only think in U$S, "STORE" here, "STORE" there, in all places.
    Another thing, the "GESTURES" is thinking for IPAD device, Some functions should be disabled from the interface., for that i have an option what dont have any funcion to me?!

  • IOS 8 Bug Reporter suddenly crashes constantly

    Hi,
    I have ios 8 beta. Earlier today I was making drafts in the Bug Reporter application that came with ios 8. I currently have 4 drafts. I could not submit these yet beacuse I did not have wifi. So, when I finally got to wifi, I opened the Bug Reporter, entered my email and password, and then it crashed right after that. I have done a reset, and a restart. I just cant seem to find out what the problem is and why this will not work, because I have already submitted 3 bug reports yesterday and some today with absolutely no problems. I managed to dig up a log file from the Bug Reporter crash and will post it below. I hope somebody can kindly help, as I am trying to make ios 8 a better OS for apple and users when it is released. I can not do this without Bug Reporter.
    Thank you so very much!!

  • Finder cover flow not playing .mp4 files

    Recently I found the option to play video files while in the cover flow view in a finder window (click on the right pointing arrow that appears when hovering over the thumbnail).
    This week when I try playing a video (.mp4 files), I can see that the video is playing but it is not displayed. I know it is playing because I can hear the sound track, can see the reflection of the video below where the display of the video should be and the progress circle works.
