Cover borwser & Visualizer problems

I just installed itunes 7 and the album covers that show up in the cover browser are pixelated to the point where you can't tell what cd it is. I am having the same problem with the visualizer. All that shows up is colored blocks. Anybody have any idea whats going on?

Windows XP

NetBeans JFileChooser visualization problem

I have a visualization problem when i implement a JFileChooser. I use
Windows XP with SDK 1.3.1 and Netbeans 3.3
I insert a JFileChooser from the Form Editor in NetBeans but when i run my
application the JFileChooser appear in the background without waiting to be
called by an event generated by a button. When you after press the button
it works correctly; so it is only a visualization problem....
How is possible to make it hide until the pressure of that button ???
Thankyou for the help

I solved the problem by myself....-:)
I added the jFileChooser to the JFrame.
It is instead to add it out of the jFrame with "others components"

Cover Flow Sort Problem To Do With Compilations?

Hi,
I just had a thought. Do you think the problem we're having with Cover Flow on the iPod Nano is to do with "Part of a compilation" not being ticked in iTunes?
If you bought one movie soundtrack Album that has a different Artist for each track, should "Part of a compilation" be ticked in iTunes, even if you've set the Album Artist to "Various Artists"?

No. does not help. The Compilations-Checkmark brings the files in a folder and not one level up. So the iTunes folder is a little cleaned up.

Cover flow view problem

I'm having an issue with cover flow view of images in OS 10.6.8
Whenever a jpeg or tiff file is edited in Photoshop (image size not changed) the preview of that picture in cover flow view
becomes smaller, pixelated and it never clears up.
Cover flow displays Raw camera files and unedited jpegs & tiffs correctly, only when an image is edited does it's preview in
cover flow become distorted.
I really like to use cover flow to browse through photos quickly but this issue is bugging me.
I've been on Photoshop forums and they say it's an Apple issue. So I don't know where the problem is.
Any help would be appreciated.

I know this paste below doesn't directly respond to your issue, but the steps below will restore OS X with a new copy and possibily clear up your issue.
There was a recent security update and it's doing very strange things, in your case it will restore a new OS X copy.
Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
I've outlined the restore proceedure here, it covers a lot of bases and explains what is going to occur so please don't be intimidated it's a LOT easier that it appears.
Take your time and comprehend the steps involved and you'll be backup up like before in short order.
Restore method.
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or hold option bootable clone
If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from before the Security Update occured.
Obviously if you didn't make a recent backup before the update, your going to have to skip to Step #3.
Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
If you don't know how to restore from TM drive
http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
#3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
If no recent TM or bootable clone then:
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk and Permissions (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
Note: If Disk Uitlity can't repair the drive, then come back to seek further assistance and make sure you have a copy of your data off the machine.
#4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Note: For most users likley Step #3 and #4 is likley all that is needed to be done.
That's it really.

Unverified hacks
Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local Mac/PC professional assistance before you lose your data.
In fact my steps above are very simple, you might want to have a family member or friend perfrom the proceedure in about a hour or two.
If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
Good Luck

Top Sites/Cover Flow Graphical Problem - Still unresolved :(

Since I updated to Safari 4, I have been unable to use the browser effectively due to an error I can't resolve. Hopefully you guys can help!
Whenever I view the Top Sites page. It initially loads a plain black screen with the text along the bottom. No placeholders for the top sites are in place and no previews. Now, If I click OFF the window, onto the desktop background for example, all the content loads in (placeholder top site previews for example) basically meaning if i want to use this functionality I need to constantly click off and onto the safari window. Also moving over the interface after the placeholder or top site previews load in doesn't do anything. To get any of the animation to play I need to constantly click off and onto the window.
The same thing happens when using Cover flow to browse history. I can repeatedly click the arrow on the slider beneath cover flow, nothing happens, click off the window and back on, and suddenly it has scrolled across. I updated to Safari 4 since the Beta and have had no luck since (I am currently using the newest Safari 4 version) so updating doesn't seem to help. Also clicking on an image on the Top Sites doesn't load the animation smoothly, it loads about one frame of the animation! Also youtube HD videos seem to struggle.
It works perfectly If i try using Safari under a GUEST account on this computer. Also works fine on windows using a duel boot partition on this mac. I have a new Unibody Macbook Pro so the graphics card is fine. I have updated Flash, Java is up to date and I have tried deleting folders/files from Library that I have seen people suggest on other threads to see if that would also work for my problem. Uninstalling also doesn't seem to help.
If ANYONE knows anything that would help I would greatly appreciate the help!!! Getting desperate now!

I remember someone else had a similar problem after a computer crash.
IIRC deleting the iTunes preference files fixed it.
Resetting the iTunes Preference Files:
You may need to make hidden files visible
My Documents>Tools>Folder Options>View
Check Show hidden files and folders
-- Quit iTunes
-- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\ iTunesPrefs.xml
-- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunesPrefs.xml
For Vista the files are in:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

Cover Flow Display Problem

Has anyone experienced the situation where in cover flow display the album cover will appear when not the primary display (it's one to the left or right and appears 'sideways') but when you place it in the primary display position (the one you're focused on) that area is just black? This is only happening on a few albums but not others. If anyone has a solution to this I'd really appreciate it. I'm very computer savvy, and have tried everything I can think of but can't fix it.

After hours of frustrating experimentation, my partner appears to have found a workaround for this problem. If you have cover art not showing up at all, or showing up in the Cover Flow, but not when you turn your iPod Touch back vertically, this is what to do. If you view the info on a single file in iTunes, you'll notice the cover art sits in the middle of the screen in the Artwork view. What you need to do is create a blank 200x200 72 resolution image file (I don't think these paramaters must be exactly as noted, you just need a square, blank image file). Then add this blank image as a second image to the album that won't display its cover art. Afterward you should have the original artwork on the left half of the display and the blank part on the right. It won't work to just use the slider to get the original file to the left by sliding the slider one place to the left, because once you exit it just puts the picture back in the middle again. You have to add a blank image file. (In fact, the second image file doesn't even have to be blank, if you just want to use another album image file you have.) Once you have the artwork you want displayed fixed to the left half, everything works fine.

New itunes 8.0 Visualizer problem

I've been using my visualizer on the new itunes and it freezes when i try to exit or i skip songs. My laptop is brand new bought it three weeks ago so i don't think it could be the problem. I was wondering if this is just a bug the developers didn't notice?

I also realized that if you connect your ipod to your computer when the visualizer is running it freezes itunes and you need to close it but force.

Itunes visualizer problem

Recently i was messing around with my itunes visualizer when it suddenly went into full screen mode. I havent been able to switch it back to the normal mode and found no help in the 'help' bar. Does anybody have any knowledge of what to do in this situation? thanks

Well I guess I won't get an answer here, can anyone tell me who/where to find out what the problem is? Thanks!

ITunes visualizer problems...

Whenever I try and run iTunes visualizer on a secondary monitor, my entire computer lags extremely badly, as in the mouse no longer moves smoothly, however if I simply drag it over to my primary monitor I receive no issues. I have tried disabling directX and that did not change anything. Its not a refresh rate issue or something along those lines because I can watch full screen video in a variety of different media players on it and not receive any lag. I receive the same problem if I try and watch a video from my iTunes movies library on my second monitor (not on the primary), but its nowhere near as bad, it only is annoying watching video, not unusable like it is with the visualizer.
I have a Radeon X550 if its a problem with the video card.

if I switch which monitor is primary, it works on the second monitor(the one that used to be secondary), yet it still messes up on the secondary(the one that used to be primary)

Visualizer Problems

My visualizer stop working. Please help. Version 6

I am having the same problem... I have been searching for a solution. I'll keep looking!

Visualizer problem

my visualizer is working but for some reason when i go into fullscreen mode the visualizer doesn't take up the FULLscreen. i can check small/medium/large and it shows up as such on a black screen...

My problem with the apple visualizer is that it remains in operation for about ten minutes and then cuts out back to iTunes. I have tried different pixel sizes on my Viewsonic monitor to no avail. I checked to see whether I have any 3rd party plug-ins in my iTunes folder and it is empty. It used to work fine with earlier versions of iTunes. Is my video card now a problem? Any assistance is appreciated. I also tried re-installing iTunes and that didn't change anything.
