Cover Flow and Podcasts

Is cover flow supposed to work for podcasts and movies or tv shows? When I am in videos and turn the Touch sideways nothing happens. Interestingly when listening to an audio podcast if it is in the "now playing" mode then its cover will show with the regular music albums when the Touch is turned sideways.

Currently, videos on iPod Touch do not have access to a coverflow viewing option, even though they do in iTunes.
I hope this is added in a future update.

  • Cover flow and album sort issues

    I just got a 80GB iPod classic for Christmas and I have noticed some annoying differences between iTunes cover flow and iPod cover flow:
    1. In iTunes cover flow, when you have songs with "Unknown Album", they clutter up the cover flow for each artist. In iPod cover flow, they are sent to the back of the cover flow in a nice little "Various Artists" cover. I like how this works on the iPod better.
    2. iTunes cover flow sorts by album artist, so you don't see a separate album for each non-album artist song.
    For example: If I set my album artist for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" (don't ask why, this is how i like it sorted) then I will only see one "Saturday Night Fever" rather than one for Bee Gees, one for Kool & the Gang, etc.
    iPod cover flow sorts by artist, so you see a separate album for each non-album artist song. I like the way this works in iTunes better.
    3. When sorting by "Album by Year" in iTunes, syncing the iPod doesn't seem to follow the same sorting. Albums are still sorted on the iPod alphabetically. I want them to sort by year on my iPod.
    So I would appreciate it if someone could help me with all 3 of these issues. As you can see, sometimes iTunes is better for me, sometimes iPod is better for me.

    3. Playlists should be sorted in the same way as they are in iTunes. The Cover Flow order is fixed.
    This is not the case, at least not with iTunes 7.5.0.20 and my 80GB Classic running 1.0.3 on it (current version as of this writing). In iTunes, under LIBRARY, I select Music, and I have my music sorted via *Album by Year*. This works perfectly in iTunes. I'll use my Soundgarden library as an example, as it shows the problem nicely.
    *_iTunes order_:*
    Ultramega OK
    Louder Than Love
    Screaming Life/Fopp
    Badmotorfinger
    Superunknown
    Songs From The Superunknown
    Down on the Upside
    A-Sides
    That's ordered by date and is perfect. +Ultramega OK+ was released way back in 1988, while A-Sides was released nearly 10 years later in 1997. In Cover Flow View it works great. However, in the iPod it's sorted alphabetically, which is completely wrong:
    *_iPod Classic_:*
    A-Sides
    Badmotorfinger
    Down on the Upside
    Louder Than Love
    Screaming Life/Fopp
    Songs From The Superunknown
    Superunknown
    Ultramega OK
    This is totally wrong. And I haven't yet found a way to force it.
    Apple, please, this shouldn't be that difficult.

  • Iphone pauses and flips to cover flow and back with other earphones

    If I use any other earphones than the ones that are provided, my iphone pauses and plays randomly, and flips to cover flow and back without any movement... any help?

    Connect the two devices that are showing large backups to your computer and check the capacity guage in iTunes to see how large "Other" is.  Sometimes this can grow to be extrememly large, requiring you to restore the device to reduce it to a more reasonable level (approx. 1GB).

  • Cover Flow and pictures of album...

    Alright, hey peeps, I have a SLIGHT(ya right) problem. When I take songs from my comp to my iPod classic (80g), when I go on "Songs" it shows an album right? Yeah, well, the thing is, when I go on SONGS, it only shows ONE album picture. Thats ok, but when I go to cover flow, the other album pictures (That are visible on Windows Media Player) are NOT there! Where are the picture?! And when I listen to the song (the cover of the album in this one is a large ship stuck in an iceberg) and its not there while you can clearly see it in WIndows Media Player. Please people help out because I AM VERY FURIOUS!! I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR KIND AND HELPFUL WORDS!!

    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 exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    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. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.

  • No Covers in grid and list modes, but in Cover Flow and Information

    I have Itunes 9.0.2 and the Covers of the songs are only shown in Cover Flow and under Information. If I'm in grid mode or other modes they are not shown. In the left down corner there is only black. Any idea?

    It's the same for me.
    I have added the cover s to every song. Under XP Home 32 Bit everything ist ok, und Windows 7 64 Bit the covers are there in the information and in coverflow, but not in the list an dgrid layout.
    When I klick on the ? and then on "Info" the About-Window appears, but its content is only black too.
    I updated the driver for the Nvidia GT230, but it didn't help.
    Any idea anybody?

  • Please fix cover flow and quick look asap.!

    Maverick upgrade put my cover flow and quick look unuseable.  shows wrong Icon for file. I ran disk utility several times to no avail.

    Apple probably don't read this user forum, so submit feedback if you want to talk to them directly.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    This is a place to get help from other users, so if you can provide more info we may be able to work it out, otherwise you will be stuck waiting for it to work itself out or for Apple to change something.
    This app will create a system report that could highlight what is happening on your system (it's possible for old software to break new code on Mavericks).
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck run it & paste the output here.
    You should try Quicklook with several files of different types to work out what works & what doesn't. Look for patterns too, e.g. Do jpegs on the desktop work but not when they are inside you Pictures folder.
    What exactly did you run in Disk Utility and did you do that when booted from the recovery partition?
    Have you rebooted since installing Mavericks?
    I would also recommend trying a 'safe boot' to see if Quicklook works in that reduced mode (not everything works in safe mode so don't be alarmed if an app won't open etc).

  • Problems with iTunes 7 cover flow and remote desktop

    Hi. iTunes 7 is an amazing upgrade, but unfortunatly the nicest addtion doesn't work for me with remote desktop, which is how I primarily access my music server.
    When using remote desktop, and I switch to cover flow, I just get a message in the cover flow panel saying something to the effect of "itunes cannot display...".
    Any help appreciated.

    I had major issues until I visited http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304434 and turned my Terminal Services back on. I had set it to "Disable" to save resources. Once I set it to "manual", the IPOD worked great with Itunes.

  • Safari has added this stupid feature to bookmarks called cover flow and it covers up my list of bookmarks so I cannot edit/rearrange them.  How do I get rid of the black, useless space in bookmarks, bring back bookmarks manager?

    How do I get rid of this annoying feature in Safari known as cover flow which appears as a balck void in bookmarks?  the bookmarks manager is nowhere to be found and now I'm going to Google instead of Safari.

    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the black area.
    Mouse pointer should turn into a hand pointer.
    Double click.
    The Cover Flow  should shrink into small black strip at the top.
    To revert back, move the mouse pointer to the black strip at the top.
    When the pointer turns into a hand pointer, double click.

  • JPG files unreadable in cover flow and preview but can be read in quicktime

    After upgrading to 10.5 some jpg files (canon 30D shots) can not be shown in cover flow or preview. Also the files will not import in iPhoto (import hangs). The files can be read with quicktime.
    If I press 'get info' for the folder that contains the jpg's the Finder seems to crash, and quickly restarts.
    If I try to open the file in preview, nothing happens (while other jpg's are fine)
    If the files are transferred to another mac running 10.5 the same problem occurs
    Permissions seem to be ok
    Any suggestions?

    My problem is similar.
    Create a file in Illustrator CS3
    Open File in Photoshop CS3
    Save File as JPEG
    - Quicklook - Crashes Finder
    - Get info - Crashes Finder
    - Drag into Mail - nothing happens
    - Open in Preview - nothing happens
    - Open in Photoshop - all ok
    Workaround - Open file in photoshop and Copy and paste into a new document.
    Guess that strips out some Metadata.
    This is also what caused a Numbers.app file from opening - the document had a jpeg imported. Solved by showing package contents on the numbers file and deleting the offending jpeg.
    This is reproducible on 10.5, 10.5.1, Intel and PPC systems.

  • Cover flow and Album Art Peculiarities

    Ordinarily when I import an album into iTunes, all the songs on the CD are consolidated under a single album cover reducing the number of instances of art in Cover flow. As iTunes plays down through the list of songs, the same album cover is displayed in Cover flow. I can also see the next album in the que on either side of the album currently playing.
    Lately though, I'm seeing an instance of album art for each song on an album. For example, if there are twelve songs on the album, there will be twelve instances of the album art work in Cover flow.
    I have looked carefully at the song/album information to ensure it is consistent for each song on the album and it all appears to be same so I've just about given up.
    I like to scan in my own CD covers to get the highest resolution artwork possible (generally 175k in size) and because it can be very time consuming, I no longer ask iTunes to search for album art.
    I select the entire list of songs in the album and perform a Get Info and drop the artwork onto the Art well and Cover flow will react in one of two ways; it either consolidates all songs under a single piece of art or it will display the art for each song on the album!
    What am I doing wrong?

    For the instances where you are getting multiple album art showing in Cover Flow, are those songs from a compilation album? If the artist name isn't exactly the same for each song, iTunes will list them individually. You will have to: identify them as a compilation or alter the tag info or use the Sorting option to group them together.

  • Cover flow and playing music

    Hi, can some one try this with their touch and tell me what happens?
    Start a song, while song is playing, go to cover flow mode and just start flicking to next album arts. After about 20 seconds of flicking, song will just stop. I tried this over and over and song just stops. Is this a bug?
    thanks

    Nope, I did that and my music still continues to play. So I don't think it's a bug. Try reseting you touch.

  • Cover FLow and Ejecting CDs

    Can anyone tell me how I can stop a CD I was browsing in Cover Flow view from loading images? I think it's preventing me from ejecting the disc since it is busy. Advice other than relaunching the Finder?

    I've actually closed all Finder windows and that didn't help. It seems Leopard loads tiny thumbnail images even in list view. Previously you would see a TIFF or JPG icon.

  • Cover Flow and Artists names

    I own a 16GB Touch but recently got an Iphone 3G and they both have the same issue. When viewing coverflow with a compilation, the artist displayed is from the first song regardless of which song is playing. If you rotate to portrait the correct artist for the song is displayed. Rotating back to coverflow the artist reverts to the first song on the album. Is there a setting or something I've missed to remedy this or is it a bug in coverflow?

    Thanks, jere7my.
    In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
    I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

  • Cover Flow and Landscape

    I can not get my music to show in Cover flow-when I turn my touch. Also in photos when I turn the touch, the picture stays the same. Any ideas on how to fix this?? I get my videos fine in landscape.
    Thanks

    I noticed this when I was playing with a demo unit in the store today - the display doesn't switch from portrait to landscape if it's laid flat in your hand. It really has to be tipped up to trigger.
    Try holding the iPod perpendicular to your desk, and then rotating it to landscape and vice versa. If that doesn't work, take it back to the store if possible.

  • Invert Cover Flow and iTunes Content

    Hey everyone,
    I was wondering if there was a way to put iTunes' cover flow display on the bottom of iTunes, and have the list of songs above it?
    Thanks,
