Cover Flow has disappeared!

hi everyone.
ok,
So i couldn't run Sharepod with my ipod, so i deleted the 'ArtworkDB' file from my ipod directory (big mistake not backing that file up like usually would)
NOW ALL THE ARTWORK ON MY IPOD HAS VANISHED!
over 400 hundred albums GONE!!!!!!!!!!
the only raye of hope i have left is that, the artwork is still displayed on itunes. every album cover is STILL there, intact and being desplayed beautifully!
now.PLEASE tell me that there is a way i can somehow....RE-CREATE the ArtworkDB file from itunes? pleeeeeeeeeaaaaasssse
i couldn't possibley do it manually...it would take forever...and the prospect of it is just...soul-destroyingly painful.
so please...anyone...
thanks for reading this

So Cover Flow no longer appears as an option under the Music category on your iPod Classic?

  • Cover Art has disappeared

    After updating to 3.1 all of my cover art for both movies and music has disappeared, only the generic icons remain.
    The art is still there in iTunes but not on the phone itself.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1. First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    2. Reboot your computer and start iTunes. Make sure iTunes is the latest version. Use the Check for Update menu choice. If an update is available download and install it. Then start iTunes and connect your iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cover Flow has just stopped working...

    Cover flow was working fine the other day and now, when I try to switch to the view or to another playlist the whole screen gets garbled and freezes up.
    I have reinstalled iTunes, but nothing... I did turn off some unused fonts a few days ago (non english only), could that be involved?

    Managed to sort it, after many attempts at clearing caches, plists etc,,
    All it needed was a restart in safe mode. Start mail, shut down and restart and all fixed.

  • Force Cover Flow to use a particular artwork for a tv show?

    I had a mix up with Cover Flow before but that turned out to just be me getting confused with the way it displayed artwork for various series of a tv show. But now it really is taking the ****.
    The scenario is this, I ripped a tv show from a DVD, several series of it. Put the first series in, gave every episode individual artwork, gave it a programme name, unique Episode ID that was incremental and also a episode number, also incremental.
    This seemed to work fine. Every episode was in order, and Cover flow showed the first episode's artwork as the series artwork which is what I thought it was supposed to do.
    I've been trying to put in the second series, did it exactly the same way. Except after quitting iTunes and restarting it, Cover Flow has idiotically decided to display the artwork for one of the other episodes, not the first one of which I have special artwork set for and for. There is no error in the Episode ID incremental numbers or the Series Number or the Episode Numbers, they're all correct, I've done my usual multi-check and delete then re-add. It just seems to like using the artwork for the eleventh episode as opposed to the first.
    So how can I force Cover flow to display a particular artwork for a show? I probably wouldn't mind so much but its choices are reflected on my Apple TV and it just looks a bit crap on that.

    Forget it. Obviously no one knows.

  • View by cover flow not working in Itunes 8.1

    Hi all, I don't know what's Happened but view by cover flow has stopped working for some reason . view by list & view by grid still works but when i goto select view by cover flow, all I get is a blank screen where the albums should be & a empty space at the bottom. When I first installed Itunes & Quick time, view by cover flow was working. I havent used it tho for a couple of weeks then thought i'll try it again & now nothing. Is there a fix I can try to get it back to the way it was before it stopped working? It doesn't affect the use of Itunes in any way, (I can still sync to my 32gig Ipod touch no problem) but as I do use view by cover flow, I miss it & having to use view by grid & the moment (just means a double click on the album to see the tracks that's all), Yes all my drivers & directx are up to date & Itunes & quicktime are the latest versions. Cheers

    So I found out how to clean this up. Make sure to replace "USER_NAME" with the right account name.
    1. Remove Itunes, Quicktime, and Apple Mobile device Support.
    2. Reboot PC
    3. Delete C:\Program Files\Itunes Directory
    4. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\Apple Computer
    5. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
    6. Delete C:\Document and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple
    7. Reboot
    8. Reinstall Itunes
    This reset all of the settings and brought back the cover flow as well as keeping my existing files.
    Obviously there was a easier way of doing this.. but a full clean install helps.

  • Border around Artwork in Cover Flow, iOS 4.3

    First of all: please excuse me for my english; it's not my native language.
    After updating to iOS 4.3 (Mac OS X 10.6.6; iTunes 10.4), I had some problem with some artworks, so I removed and added all my music to my iPhone 4. Suddenly, all the artworks in Cover Flow has a thin (or thick, depending on the form of the picture), black border around them. In "Now playing mode", artwork also looks like they are in low resolution – even if they aren't.
    Anyone familiar with this problem? Can I fix it, or will it be addressed and fixed with an upgrade?

    I got the same issue. it didnt used to have this before. now all the new albums have them. how can we fix it?

    Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Tried re-installing iTunes, switching to grid etc and back, none of the usual fixes are working.

    I have the exact same problem. I found a solution here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12623727&#12623727
    I rebuilt the iTunes Library ITL and XML files and it resolved the issue. However, the first draw back as stated was that it reset the 'Date Added' information. The second issue I found is it that it lost all custom/manually added album art.
    Is there another fix for this that exists? Or a way to port over the album art that was manually added?

  • Cover flow gone wrong

    Hi,
    I'm really confused as to why my cover flow has become very distorted. Everything else on my iTunes is fine apart from when I view my album covers in cover flow all I get is a mass of black, white and colored lines. Even the scroll bar and text at the bottom is like this. The problem also occours when I try to view previews of films in the iTunes store. I have tried re-installing the new version of iTunes, deleting all the album covers and putting them back on again and even deleting my entire music library from my computer. However it does not affect my iPod touch's cover flow. Can anybody help me fix it!???
    Katherine

    Hi,
    There are two likely causes for the symptoms you decribe, detailed in the two sections of the post I pointed out. First make sure the album is not marked as Compilation. Select all the tracks of one of the problem albums, Get info. then on the options tab make sure *Part of a compilation* reads No, tick the checkbox even if it already says No. Click OK. I don't use my iPod in manual mode but I presume iTunes will do tag modifications in manual mode. Second possibility revolves around the various "Sort" fields which can be used to override the natural sorting order for albums and artists. Take *The Clash* for example. iTunes will normally set a Sort Artist value of "Clash" so the band is listed under C instead of T. You can put your own value for sort artist, e.g. "ZZZZ Clash", would normally force them towards the end of Cover flow or the Artists menu. Check what values, if any, these fields have to see if they could be causing the problem. It might also pay to reset your ipod as this will sometimes fix errors in the way it lists things.

  • Is cover flow gone in iTunes 11?

    Just what the topic asks, Thanks!

    I watched the new video on the iTunes 11 page and noticed Cover Flow is gone.  What a disappointment!  I preferred a partial list view with Cover Flow, like others probably did too.  I will check out iTunes 11 on my external drive with Snow Leopard, just for fun, but I will not be replacing 10.7 on my main drive.  I used the feeback page to say what a mistake it was to remove Cover Flow, and I would not recommend the upgrade to anyone.  You can restore the sidebar and status bar at the bottom by reselecting them in the View menu.  I don't think the removal of Cover Flow has anything to do with the patent lawsuit in 2010, because the judge reversed the decision in 2011.  I think this is just Apple's way...just as they ruined iMovie from the complete overhaul from iMovie HD 6 to iMovie 7.

  • Small Cover Flow bug

    Hello everybody. I have a brand new iPod Touch 32 GB, I love it. But I have a small problem. When I'm browsing through my albums using cover flow, a few flicks in, it goes abruptly back to the "home" screen and stops whatever song I'm playing.
    Everything else seems to work on the device, but Cover Flow has that litte bug. Well, I have a lot of titles (6633, and NO DEVIL :-)), it perhaps explains it, but I can't go througt all my albums cover arts without a bug. It always seems to work correctly bt suddently BOOM, it bugs.
    I have already reinstalled the software (1.1.4), but it still bugs.
    Does anyone know what to do ?

    If you further use your Touch, you will discover that it is not only the cover flow that is triggering this behaviour. It can happen all the time, even with the screen disactivated and only playing music. It can happen while ony looking at pictures. It rather often happens when using safari.
    Do a search on the forum here for "return to home screen" and learn how many people do have this problem. It is a serious bug.
    Btw. everytime this happens, your playcounts get deleted too...

  • IPOD TOUCH - podcasts=crash- Cover art mixed up- Cover Flow   HElp

    Hey
    I have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch - Best thing ever =)
    but I have a couple of problems that may have been adressed before
    but -
    1. When I play NOVA VODCAST| PBS podcasts ( only certain ones) like Brain Trauma or Stem cell Or SAVING HUBBLE The ipod shows -- random white dots then it crashes and takes quite a bit of time to reboot -Are you guys getting the same thing?
    2.Why can't I delete songs?
    3. I have a video on my ipod but the cover art for it is from some other TV shoe I got from itunes but then deleted. Only for 1 video , odd
    4. When I go to Cover flow - certian albums just dissapear when they're at the center however they appear. Also in cover songs are listed under the album but cerrtian songs when played dont display the album
    5. The time changes whenever I sync- Its annoying _ anything other than opening itunes beforehand ?
    -Thanks
    and how would you guys recomend invisible shield?
    and does any of this warrant a exchange/replacement

    It's because iTunes is a piece of crap! Corrupt album art for cover flow has been a big problem for the longest time....and Apple WON'T fix it! In a earlier version of iTunes (ver 8 I think), there was a setting that people found out would fix the artwork if it got mixed up (I think it was the "sync artwork" checkbox but I am not sure). With version 9 however, Apple, in all it's infinite wisdom, decided to remove this option and now the only way to fix this issue is to RESTORE!! And that is completely B.S!! I am getting so sick and tired of this crap! I added a album (WOW....10 whole songs), and now every one of my 105 albums are showing the wrong artwork! Apple needs to remove this "database" bullsh** and go back to reading the info DIRECTLY from the tags.
