Cover Browser View problems

When I select the view to see the large view of cover art for my CD's, there are a lot of them that do not show up properly. The correct images shows in the currently playing box in the lower left. Also the scroll bar does not show up properly. I jsut DL'ed 7.0.1.8 and it did not fix the issue.

You need to update your DirectX from Microsoft.com AND goto the PC makers site and update your video card/drivers

  • 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.

  • Cover Flow view problems

    Hello Everyone and congratulations for the Support Forum!

  • 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

  • Cover art view problem

    I ripped a CD into iTunes 9.2 and downloaded cover art for the album. I apparently associated each individual song in the album with the cover art because, in cover art view, I now get the cover art for each song instead of the entire album. I have tried to consolidate and that didn't work. I have tried deleting and re-ripping the album and that didn't help. I tried deleting the cover art from the songs individually in "get info" and that didn't do it. I want to get to where I can click on the album cover in cover view and play the entire album instead of just one song. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jim

  • Importing/ Browser Viewing Problem

    I have created a new folder. It shows in the Projects Tab. I then go to my ALL PHOTOS and locate a photo that I then drag and drop in the new album. Cool. No Problem there. Then I go back to ALL PHOTOS and drag and drop a different photo into the album. The album then says that I have 2 pictures in there but...only one is showing.
    When I go to ALL PHOTOS and then drag and drop another photo, it will say that the album has 3 pictures in it, but only shows one. And it's the previous imported image.
    All of my other albums say a certain amount of photos and they also SHOW all of them.
    What view option and I'm not seeing?
    Thanks!

    I figured out the problem. Next to the Magnifying Glass in the thumbnail browser is another small magnifying icon for the search filters. Under the search filter I had a photo name in the search that I had not deleted. Once I deleted the name from that it showed all of the photos in the album. It was only showing the "searched" photo.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Browser view problem...

    what would make my website show up ok in live view but not when i view it as a browser?

    A lot of factors could be at work.
    1. .css/.js/image files not uploaded, or uploaded to the wrong location
    2. File names on server don't exactly match links (servers are CaSe SeNSiTiVe, your local OS is not)
    3. Files in your page are using absolute links to your hard drive (your local site definition is not set up correctly)
    4. Live View is a "mostly there" Webkit browser, errors in your code may be causing a display problem in non-webkit browsers like IE, Firefox or Opera. Visit http://validator.w3.org to get a list of html errors to clear them out
    There are other reasons, but those are the most common.

  • 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!

    I have had the same problem. I get audio, but am unable to play any video within itunes. The video works fine on my ipod nano. Did you ever get this resolved?

  • 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

  • Problem w/ cover flow view

    To begin I'd like to say I'm not new to message boards and even a forum moderator for the company Streetglow. I've searched for hours trying to figure out my cover flow problem and I just can't get it to organize the way I like. I've had a few problems with itunes in the past but a store rep fixed them within minutes. This is my first big problem.
    A few days ago I moved my entire library (I only have music files) to my external HD. The move went flawlessly and itunes even deleted itself in my "My Music" folder. Weird but everything was fine and I checked a song's location and saw that the location lead to my external. This is where the problem starts.
    Yesterday, I opened itunes and my entire library is empty. It's as if I just installed itunes on my computer.
    So, I re-imported all my files again and went to my cover flow view and I have multiple album art covers for each song. But, if I go to the grid view, its exactly how I want it. Artist....Album...in ascending order. But if I switch to cover flow, I have close to 500 album art covers.
    Prior to this, every time I imported a CD, I filled out the info entirely. Kept the artist, and album artist the same. Cover flow view was perfect before this incident.
    Now, I have to use the grid view because it's the way I'd like but I would like to use the cover flow.
    Any ideas?

    The albums will only stay grouped together when sort as *Album, Album by Artist* or *Album by Year*. Sort on Track title or Track No. and the order of covers will be pretty random. Sorting as Album by Artist groups all albums by the same alphbetically which tends to work for most people. What cues are your browsing for? Artwork, Album title, Artist, Track Name. You can use the search box to type in part of a track name if you're trying to find something specific. If you're just flicking through for something to take your fancy you might find grid mode more useful.

  • Problem with Cover Flow View

    Not sure if anyone else is having this problem and I think it was from when there were some Vista updates this morning. Firstly my Podcasts wouldn't play but thats now been sorted by a FAQ but the cover flow view is all messed up and I can't seem to sort it. The covers are there and appear for a couple of seconds and then go green/black and white with lines through them. In Album view, the covers are fine but just the cover flow (which is the one I love to use! Anyone got any suggestions or having the same problem?

    Okay. I'm still inclined to check on drivers, because your QuickTime version may have gone up a version with the recent iTunes install. (QuickTime can be sensitive to drivers ... and even though the video drivers are up to date, other driver/whatnot updates on a Dell may also help with video performance.)
    The Inspiron 6400/E1505 32-bit vista page is one that i can't get a link for (i can navigate to the page, but the URL that shows up in my web browser once i've gotten there doesn't work for linking purposes).
    So try heading to the XP page for that model, going up to the top of the page where it says Operating System: Windows XP Change OS, clicking Change OS, and selecting "Windows Vista 32-bit":
    Inspiron 6400/E1505 (XP)
    Once you're at the Windows 32-bit Vista page for that model, check in particular on the following things:
    Check to see if the Chipset - Driver for your Intel Mobile Chipset is up to date.
    Check to see if your Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 System BIOS is up to date.
    After you've applied any updates (if any are applicable), do you have any better luck with the Cover Flow view?

  • Problem deleting items in cover flow view

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro with running Leopard and I thought that viewing directories using "cover flow" view in the finder would be a great new way to quickly browse through folders containing many pictures and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. However, I've run into a problem. When I delete an item in the directory, sometimes the highlight bar automatically highlights the next item in the list (what I want it to do), and sometimes it just disappears so that when I press the down arrow, rather than just jumping to the next picture in the folder after the one I just deleted, it jumps all the way back to the first picture in the folder. As you can imagine, this can be pretty annoying when trying to sort through a folder of over 600 photos. I can't figure out why deleting an item sometimes selects the next item and sometimes deselects all items, but I would like to find a way to fix this so I can sort through my photos with ease. Thanks for any info.

  • ITunes 7 Release - Crashing - View Cover Browser

    I have read a number of the posts on crashing and reviewed some of the suggestions. So far the only unusual find I have seen is that changing the View button to View Cover Browser shows a message that says: "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer"
    This would seem to not be a big problem until I went to the Music Store and clicked on Movies. The same message comes up and CRASHES EVERYTIME.
    There are definately some problems with this release and will hope to see some updates soon!

    USUALLY the big fix here is updating your video

  • Browsing the "Cover Flow" view

    Hi There, Ihave the following message when I try to view the Cover Flow view:

    This is strange because
    a) All other graphics works just fine
    b) The album covers appear in the smaller "Now Playing" window at the bottom right, and
    c) The album covers also appear when I double click the "Now Playing" window for the full-size image.
    Any help gratefully received. Thanks, all.
