Cover browser bar looks scrambled

Whenever I switch itunes to show the cover art with the browser bar, the cover art shows up but the browesr bar just looks like a scramblez TV picture.
How can I fix this?

I have the same problem with the cover flow . . . right colors with pixellated or plaid-looking art. I use a 128MB DDR ATI Radeon 9700 graphics card. Seems not to be a graphics card issue: I've tried 8, 16 and 32 bit color, different resolutions and checked all soft- and hardware acceleration features to no avail.

Quit jiggling the camera when you take the picture?
(Yes, I know it was a screen shot and not a camera.)
I'll load up iTunes 7 later tonite and see what happens.

Goofy Cover Browser view in iTunes 7

I guess Apple’s relationship with Disney finally got to close for comfort. I’m afraid Goofy just took over the iTunes UI design.
As the name implies, the Cover Browser (rightmost view button) looks and almost functions like a browser.
Unfortunately, it is merely a display of the album now playing with previous and next albums.
Undoubtedly this view is great looking, but has no usefulness as a browser. This should have been a visualizer plugin.
As a matter of fact, I actually would use it as a full screen visualizer plugin. Ironically, such useful Use Case for this feature is not enabled.
So far, I was only slightly disappointed with the missed opportunity to make a cool looking real album browser and the missing visualizer.
Apple did provide a “Group by Artwork” view that is not as great looking, but it’s certainly useful.
However, my disappointment quickly turned into puzzlement when I was surprised by a completely unexpected Cover Browser behavior.
I hear that after puzzlement comes acceptance. I’m not there yet, but I have a feeling I’m working up to it by writing about it.
Consider this.
If you filter your view with Quick Browse by an Artist or a Genre, only the filtered tracks are displayed.
If you start playback, only those selected tracks will be in the queue.
I don’t know about you, but that’s how I listen to my iTunes library. I play a selected Playlist, Genre, Album, or Artist to listen to a specific selection. I never play tracks without filtering because I have podcasts, audiobooks, hip-hop, classic, altrock, and only God and my iTunes library know how many more different types of music.
But I digress. Having started playback on a filtered list of a selected Artist or Album and then clicking on the Cover Browser does something only Goofy could have conceived.
It loses your selected filtering and changes to an all tracks view. The currently playing album cover is displayed, but what is before and after that track is now determined by the all tracks view column sorting.
In other words, because I clicked on the Cover Browser view, my playback queue changed to something I had no intention of hearing.
This strange behavior is unique to the Cover Browser view. Had I click on the Group by Artwork instead, the filtering would still be in effect.
There must have been some kind of crazy rational to lose the filtering since it was clearly intentional.
They got the Playlist behavior right. If playback is started from a Playlist, changing view to Cover Browser does the expected and only displays the albums contained in the Playlist.
Goofy didn’t stop there. No, he was inspired.
In the Cover Browsing view while playback is active, if you navigate down the list of tracks, say 6000 tracks down, after a brief timeout, the highlighted album reverts back to the one playing, which could the first one of this 6000 tracks list.
Quick, you got 15 seconds to navigate down a list and look at it…Sorry, you’re not fast enough…back to the top of the list where you belong!
I’m afraid this is not the first time iTunes has been updated with functionality that makes it less useful. Podcast categories have been removed with no good way to get to those specific podcasts anymore (e.g. International).
The status window defaulting to downloading podcast information while playback is active is another terrible example.
As a lifetime fan, it is sad to witness the slow deterioration of Apple’s once high standards.
Acceptance is coming while I image what must be like to have Goofy lose and running amuck in the Tunes design lab.

Below the cover view is the track listing which has all the columns as usual - simply click the column title to sort by that field.
If the album has different artists then make sure the 'group compilations' option is ticked in preferences and then go into the info for the tracks and select 'part of a compilation'. iTunes will then group the tracks into a single album and display 'various artists' as the artist.
There is also now a field called 'album artist' which sets an artist for an entire album.

How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want.

Near the right-end of the address bar is a white star which can be difficult to see, but look closely. When you wish to bookmark a shortcut to the toolbar, double click the star. A window will open with the name of the webpage. Under that is the folder box which will probably read 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. Click the drop down arrow and change it to 'Bookmarks Toolbar' then click done.
I have several folders on my toolbar such as Music, Mail, etc. in which I add multiple websites. If you wish to add a folder, click the second drop down arrow next to 'Bookmark Toolbar' and click 'New Folder' and give it a name.
To add a bookmark to a folder, again double click the star, make sure you are in Bookmark Toolbar and click one of the two drop down arrows to find the name of the folder.
For other bookmarks use Bookmark Menu. Whatever is added here can be accessed by Bookmarks on the Menu Bar. If your Menu Bar with Bookmark, File, View, etc. is not visible, click the Alt key and they will become visible. To keep the Menu Bar, click View, Toolbars and check Menu Bar.

Suggestion for new Cover Browser

I'm not sure where to post this suggestion to Apple, but I thought I'd start here. I'm LOVING this new "Cover Browser" view, with the way you can "flip" through CD covers like we used to do with LPs and CDs on our shelves. It's great to be able to decide what to listen to that way, instead of just looking through a text list.
The one thing that would be nice (and is missing) however, would be a way to sort by genre (like we can in the other 2 views), so that we could just flip through the covers of a specific genre (jazz, rock, etc). I suppose you could take it to another level and offer the ability to flip through a single artisit as well, but just the genre would be a great start!
I'm sure there are others out there like me who used to have their LPs and CDs organized by genre!

Thanks! That works ... I've should have noticed that. I still think they could improve the way you select the genre you want to flip through in this view. For example, if you want to go directly to Jazz, you have to scroll down the list, past (in my collection) a lot of other music before I get to the beginning of jazz.
It's just a "usability" issue that I think they could improve in this new view, but I'm still really happy with this new feature.... a great new way for me to waste lots of time

Cover Browser stopped working

After using iTunes almost without a hitch since the iTunes 7 upgrade came out, my cover browser stopped working and other odd behaviors have cropped up.
For instance, when I try to shift from list view to browser view or grouped view, the iTunes window becomes corrupted, almost as if it were trying to display two windows at once, sort of superimposed. And the Cover Browser view doesn't work at all.
If I minimize and then enlarge the window though (the only way to get it to un-freeze), I get a blank white box where the cover browser should be.
I have reinstalled several times, being very careful to remove all reciepts and preferences, and I logged in under a 'test' user and iTunes works fine there, but not under my own (administrator) user. Also, I can't for the life of me think of anything I've done to change my computer to make this happen. Any ideas out there? Thanks, your help will be much appreciated!

it seems to work when you reset the port
try this only after you've made sure that any antiviral/firewall software isnt blocking iTunes and the internet connection settings are fine
1. go to windows, accessories and right click on command prompt and run as administrator
2. type in netsh winsock reset (i know sounds ridiculous but it works type WITH SPACES) and press enter
3. Message saying "winsock reset successful now reboot your computer"
4. restart your computer, and open iTunes..backup should run much smoother and faster
5.Click on iTunes store might be working now

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

ITunes 7.0.1.8 Freezes Windows when Cover Browser display option selected.

When I select the Cover Browser display option for Music Library the entire operating system freezes within 3 seconds after the button is selected. After rebooting and deleting all music and selecting the option the freeze did not occur. I reimported a CD and tried again and the freeze occured again. ITunes works fine otherwise.

Change name in browser bar?

Hi all, using TCS2 on Windows 7 64 bit.
When I create my RH Webhelp, in the blue browser bar (doesn't matter which browser) it says (for example):
Filename - Mozilla Firefox (see attached screenshot)
https://website.com - Filename - IE 6
I am told by my developer that it is not the filename, it is the "<title></title> tags in the main help document".
Is this something I can change?
TIA,
Adriana

Hi,
What you see is the project title. Change that in the project settings. You find that in the File menu.

Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

Hello,
Merry Christmas to all,
Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
Please suggest,
Thanks,

first, what does this have to do with Java?
second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing
