Cover Flow Doesn't show some covers

When iTunes imports a CD on a popular album, I click on Download Cover Art, and 75% of the time it can't find a cover art.
I usually can find the cover art easily on www.allmusic.com and transfer it into iTunes.
When I sync the Nano, I've noticed that there are a couple of album covers that don't show in the Cover Flow, although, when I go to artist or albums, it shows up there.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks

I've had this problem also. This problem usually happens when I update new artwork to the iPod. SOLUTION: Try deleting the entire album from the iPod, then re-transfer the whole album from iTunes with the new artwork. This solution has worked for me every time (so far). Best of luck.
So many things about the 160GB performance suck ***, but I love the stupid thing. Hoping they fix all the bugs soon!

Ever since iTunes 10.2.1 the cover flow doesn't work

Whenever I switch to view cover flow it just removes the whole top section where the Play, FF, Volume buttons etc are...the cover flow doesn't even show up. Which is pretty lame because the -only- reason I am using iTunes is because of the cover-flow. If I wanted to see my album artwork stacked vertically I'd just use WMP instead of apple's insanely awkward interface.
Any tips on what I can do here? I thought 10.2.2 would fix this but alas :-(

Malware can cause digital signing issues, I would run a malware check with the free version of MalwareBytes:

After that, the is a Microsoft fixit for:
The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)
This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.

It might be worth trying it.

COVER ART DOESN'T SHOW IN COVER FLOW

Just got the new ipod classic, 80gb.
Some of the cover art I synced doesn't show in cover flow. Instead of the blank musical note cover, it's just black, meaning it has content, but it just won't show.
But all the cover arts show perfectly in my itunes.
Help please.
Thanks.

Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them.
I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

Hi haydnan
It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
In Windows Explorer
1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
3. Now click “advanced”.
4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
5.Click ”OK”.
6.Click”Apply”.
7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
Now go to your music library and see if it works.

Cover flow doesn't much with cover flow in iTunes

My cover flow on the iPod is not 100% replica of the iTunes. For example in I tunes last cover is the last letter in the alphabet. On my iPod classic there are many cd showing after that point. Another example in Itunes I am showing 4 Rod Stewart CDs in Ipod are showing 3 of them the other somewhere at the end of the carousel.
I erased the ipod and started from fresh... the same thing.
Does anyone have a solution or this is iPod bug?

In iTunes you can change the order of the cover flow by ordering on different columns and can choose whether to group compilations. On the iPod the order is always the equivalent of Albums by Artist with compilations grouped at the end. The iPod also appears to give the artist field priority over album artist which can cause problems with albums that have featured artists. If your album artist has more than one album, with some tracks that feature guest artists, you may get repeated covers. This can be fixed by setting the sort artist field to the value of the album artist for each track with a guest artist. Another problem is that each album requires a unique title to avoid clashing with other titles of the same name. If you have a number of albums called "Greatest Hits" for example, when you select one of these to play it you will find the tracks from every Greatest Hits album are listed. This can be fixed by renaming albums along the lines of <Artist>, <Album>.

Cover flow doesn't display

When selecting the cover flow view iTunes is not willing to display any covers. I only see some gray frames, the black background but not one cover. Half an hour ago I downloaded the newest driver for my graphics card and I've got the newest version of iTunes (7.6.2). I would be extremely happy if anyone could help. Thank you very much.

I see it’s due to downloading lots of stuff, which sometimes affects the system & Direct-X, (responsible for displaying cover flow in Windows OS)
Anyways all you gotta do is disk defrag your drive (C:)
For using the in-built Windows Disk Defragmenter: goto Accessories>Systems Tools
If it doesn’t work try Raxco PerfectDisk 2008® http://www.raxco.com/products/downloadit/pddownloadhome.cfm
It most likely will make cover flow work... atleast worked for me.

The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?, The preview and cover flow don't show thumbnails of the quicktime videos. How to fix?

When I upgraded to Mavericks the cover flow or the preview pane in finder don't show a thumbnail of an uncompressed quicktime movie. I use this to search for the correct clip so it was very useful in prior versions of OS X but appears to be left off in Mavericks. If anyone knows a work around I would appreciate it since I work with thousands of video clips. To click each one seems very tedious.
Also, when I click on an uncompressed video, quicktime "converts" the video to some different format. Why doesn't it just play the video instead of converting? Is there a way to stop this? I hate have to say - no I don't want to save this file.
Arrgh!

Does anyone in the community have insite into this issue (same with animation compressed QT's). Is this just the way it is moving forward (a terrible thing) or is it a bug that will be fixed in the near future. Apples silince on if this is a "feature" or a "bug" is frustrating.
Thanks.

Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

Hello,
For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
Any idea?

A reboot solved the problem.
I guess this is the workaround for now...

Cover Flow doesn't alway work in finder windows...

Hi,
I have several folders full of photos, most of them are .jpegs. When I open a folder in a finder window I have my standard views displayed at the top:(Icons/List / In columns / Cover Flow). When I click the cover flow button sometimes it will show my photos properly and other times it just shows a blank sheet with .jpeg written on it.
Any ideas why sometimes it work correctly and other times it doesn't??
Thanks,
Gary

I've noticed this occasionally myself, and discovered that there are actually two different problems. One, which is fixable, is that occasionally I run into folders where I get generic jpeg icons in all views, and recently figured out there is something peculiar about those files. In this case all views, all the time, fail to show a thumbnail. The fix is to select all the errant files, and only the errant files, in the folder, bring up the inspector (Command-Option-i), select the wee little multiple files icon at the top, and press Delete. Presto changeo the Finder will now draw the thumbs in Icon and Coverflow views.
The second problem is more perplexing: it seems as if Finder has simply gotten tired of drawing icons. When this happens I've always simply relaunched Finder by holding the Option key, click and hold on the Finder icon in the Dock, and then select Relaunch from the fly-out window. All windows close, the Desktop "blinks" and when you renavigate to the folder Finder draws the icons. Reminds me of an old-time radio with a loose connection that can be brought back to functionality by a quick sharp blow to the chassis...

Cover Flow View not showing

On my ITunes, I'm not able to view any album covers on the Cover Flow View. All I get is a black screen with the following white text:
iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer.
Any insight as to why this is happening? I did not change any settings on my PC. I was thinking maybe I rejected some program on the firewall, but I don't recall anything specific to iTunes

Cover Flow doesn't work in 7115?

I just upgraded iTunes to 7.1.1.5 today, and when I ask it to display in cover flow mode, I get an onscreen message saying that "iTunes cannot browse album covers on this computer." This is odd, because it did so without any complaint before this upgrade. Has anyone got a clue what's going on? Has some Vista-targeted upgrade set a new arbitrary benchmark on what system specifications will support this feature?

Sure enough, it was the absence of enabled directdraw. It's funny; I assume that I know more about computers than my brother, who's a PC gamer, but he would never have a box running without having his video setup tuned to perfection. I just work on my machine, so I hadn't noticed. Thanks again.
