The "Play" "Rewind" "Forward" and "Pause Button also dissappear
I've tryed Using The Menu Bar and clicked on View, but it only works on "Recently Played" "Recently Added" and "Playlists" only
is when Im given the option of seeing my cover flow. But Not For All Of My Music
Can someone please help me.
Please And Thank You

piece of cake mate best way is to go over it
find the album cover on google images save them some where(in your case find all 8 different album covers)
go in to itunes and right click the track click "get info" and add the album art in the art section.
click ok and it should write that image in to the song so when you sync over to your iphone/ipod it will appear insted of that annoying default symbol..
(small info clip: if theres an entire album and you right click there wont be a artwork tab so just drag over the image you want as album cover over to itunes while you have the GET INFO screen up :))
recap
"GOOGLE" images
save them
open itunes
find track and right click it
get info
add album art in the appropriate section
click ok and boom done

How doI automatically generate cover flow pic for my radio feed?

I work for a radio station with live Itunes feed and was asked to embed a pic that appears in cover flow. For now, that thing's blank. How do I do this?

same problem for me - i have all my library of music and film into an external HD and many of my film cover disappear - i have to manually look into INFO and they come back --- it's really strange!
Anyone have some solution? is it a bug of itunes with external/ethernet HD?

Changing Cover Flow images for a video

Is there a way to change the image of a video in Cover Flow? For instance, I have a mp4 video of my little cousin on his birthday as we all sing Happy Birthday to him. When I am using finder, in the folder with the video, and I switch to Cover Flow mode, the preview is a still image of the video. Instead, I want it to show a jpg photo I have of him blowing out his candles. I've changed the icon to the jpg, but I can't figure out how to change the image in Cover Flow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be a fun way to organize a lot of family videos I have.

You need to trim the clip in a video editor and then add it to the slideshow.

Cover flow Causing iOS5 Music App Crash

Since I've updated to iOS5 on my iPhone4 cover flow in the music app jitters and if I swipe too quickly it becomes increasingly laggy and not smooth at all then it ends up crashing the music app. Any ideas?

Same problem here. I don't use cover flow but just play one song. Goes fine with downloaded songs but with imported cd's (and their covers) it crashes. I've now downloaded the artwork for those albums and now it works fine. Apples way of saying you should download from iTunes instead of buying cd's I guess...

HT203167 All my music has disappeared from my iTunes, what do I do?

I don't know why but somehow all my music has disappeared from my iTunes. I store all my music files on external hard drives.
I don't know what to do to get it all back onto iTunes (other than individually adding each song)

If you are lucky you may be able to recreate your library using the method here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
If that doesn't work you can just add your iTunes Music folder using "Add Folder to Library", that gets your music back in the library but loses playlists and ratings etc.
Becuase this is rather a common problem, it is a good idea to make backups of you Library file from time to time:
Backup the iTunes Library Files
The library files are in:
My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Close iTunes and wait about 30 seconds.
Copy iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml somewhere else e.g. into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
To restore, with iTunes closed drag the current itl and xml file from the iTunes folder to the desktop, then copy the backup iTunes Library.itl into the iTunes folder. The xml file isn’t necessary but can come in handy if the library needs to be recreated and the itl file is causing problems.

Cover flow view for iTunes 11

Is the cover flow view available for itunes 11? I am not able to find it.

That' really sad... Cover Flow was one good feature that I liked in iTunes. And so, I'm still sticking onto version 10.7

Cover Flow Artwork for Albums is Dysfunctional

Artwork on Cover Flow view displays as a jumbled plaid-like distorted picture. I tried reinstalling and repairing, but that has not solved the issue. Anyone know of a fix for this? Running on Windows XP.

I've had this problem for a while now & finally figured out is was a problem with a driver, that I'd updated.
My graphics are controlled by an SiS Mirage Graphics chipset and when I update the driver it screws up cover view. I rolled back the driver and that fixed it.
Driver that works okay is 6.14.10.3830.

Cover Flow with shared Music

Hi,
is it possible to use Cover Flow with my shared music?

I have the exact same problem. I guess we're a minority enough that Apple doesn't care about those with large iPods and laptops (so no syncing).
The problem is that with iTunes 7, it was changed to accomdate CoverFlow. Previously, all album art added was automatically embedded into the file.
However, CoverFlow deals with loading lots of images, so iTunes 7 stores the album art in a folder - instead of embedding - in your iTunes directory as a "cache" so that it can easily and quickly retreive the images when you view CoverFlow (as opposed to having to reload every time).
You can't use CoverFlow for iPod music because iTunes doesn't have the image data stored somewhere consistent, and so would have to reload the album art everytime you reconnect your iPod and use CoverFlow, and then keep this image data stored on your computer even if that iPod is never again connected. This could be a strain on your resources, and so I guess Apple decided to play it simple and allow you to only use CoverFlow for music it knows that it has a cache for and that it knows still exists.
The best way around it is if you can store all your mp3s on an external drive, then when you add them to your library you'll be able to use CoverFlow.
Other then that, Apple's message seems to be "get a desktop" or "get a nano."

Can't change Cover Flow Art

I was able to change the album artwork in "Get Info". The correct art shows in the "Now Playing Window", but the Cover Flow artwork wont change. I've been successful in changing the Cover Flow artwork using the "Get Info" change method in the past, but this is the first time I've tried it since the latest iTunes update...maybe there's a bug needs squashing. How do I change the Cover Flow artwork?

I gave that a try and it "kinda" works but doesn't really solve the annoyance. If you resize it again in the slightest or shift the divider bar, the whole thing jumps back to the 90/10 view. Why!?!?! Does that not drive anyone else insane?
Thanks for the duct tape fix though Captfred. I can at least use that in the mean time. I really hope they fix that problem with the next update. It worked just fine before, but now it makes cover flow somewhat unusable.

4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

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 view of music albums

In Music, when I turn my phone sideways now I don't get cover flow view of albums. Help! Does anyone know how to change this back?

It's OK - I've worked it out. Orientation Lock was on.

Cover Flow cache is gone every time I restart iTunes.

The title pretty much says it all. Ever since I began running iTunes on my new MacBook Pro (Spring 2009, 3.06 Ghz with 4GB of RAM) I was pretty disappointed with how slowly Cover Flow worked. I had been using iTunes on a PC for a while, but I figured that on brand new top-of-the-line Apple hardware, iTunes and Cover Flow would fly.
The problem is, every time I restart iTunes, it appears that any Cover Flow image cache is gone. It seems like it has to re-lookup and re-load every image in my library as I scroll. It is usually smart enough to predict where a long scroll if going to end and pre-load the images at my destination, but every cover that I "flow" over during the scroll appears as just the default musical note symbol. Plus, moving around is choppy as it loads every image. I have to manually scroll through the whole library in order to force it to load every single cover and therefore respond smoothly as I scroll through. This keeps working until I restart the app, and then I'm back to square one.
Why is this happening?

Thank you to all that gave advice, none of the suggestions worked I'm afraid........ but I did find a solution to the problem, by accident......... Doing a normal sync still does not work...... So what I have done is, limited each file to just 1000 photos, and have ended up with 32 files now........... I have ticked the boxes "Sync photo's from, selected files" and I sync with the first file ticked, then sync again with the second ticked, and so on, I know its long winded but they are now all on my ipod

Inexplicably, some of my music has disappeared from my itunes library.

The second half of a soundtrack is there, but the first half is missing. I haven't added anything new recently (other than updating itunes), just noticed when I went to play the soundtrack tonight. The whole album is still in my music file on the harddrive, but doesn't show up in itunes. Any ideas about what happened, and how I get the full album back into itunes (other than simply re-burning the CD?). Not sure if any other content is missing; I haven't gone looking, yet.

Hi, Junette.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are missing some media from your iTunes library upon upgrading. Here is an article that I would recommend going through for this issue. This article also includes the library file location.
If you don't see your content after updating iTunes
If the missing iTunes music was purchased via the iTunes Store, try downloading your past purchases via the steps in the article below.
