Cover Flow images don't fill Finder window?

Hi everyone,
I like to use Finder in Cover Flow mode to browse through images. However, if I expand Finder to fill the whole screen, and I expand the Cover Flow pane to take up most of the screen, the Cover Flow images don't expand to fill up the Cover Flow pane. I have the High Res screen, so maybe it looks normal on a lower res screen but I think it's odd that Cover Flow doesn't try to expand the images to fil the space. Is this behaviour normal and is there a way to change it?
Cheers,
Jim

Solved the problem myself. I retyped the name of each folder (same name) under Pictures and added a space plus #1 after each folder name. Images appeared almost immediately on the content pane after that was done. Later I will then open up on my hard drive, under Cover Flow, two windows....one from the Pictures Folder and the other one from the Window Documents that contain the images transferred from an old hard drive. I will then select the images I want to keep and drag and drop the images from the Window Documents to the sub-folders in Pictures and that should do it. Attempting to do it from within Bridge will cause the images in Pictures to disappear so this other way is safer. Then I will trash my Window Document folder when I'm done. If anyone has experience this problem this might be a way to see if my solution might work for you. (I formerly had a window system and now have a iMac).

Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available. It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached.
I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can. The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused. I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window. I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image. As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well. It's all goofed up.
Hoping for any suggestions.
I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

I also would like to know if there is an answer to this. My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot). This seems like such a waste. Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?

Cover Flow image different from

Most of the time, the album artwork in Cover Flow is identical to that on the thumbnail image in the bottom left corner of my screen (sorry - don't know the correct term for it). However, on occasional tracks they're different.
I think I know why, but don't know what to do about it...
I have a huge collection of old singles that I digitised. There being no album title, I created one called Singles and it keeps them all together. The thumbnail image always varies with the track but the Cover Flow image only displays the artwork of the first track by that particular artist (so for example, the Cover Flow artwork for all Elvis Presley singles is the same, and it's the first one in the list).
I'd be grateful for any ideas for how I can correct this?

Well, I'd have to set something up like that to check....but I don't have a bunch of singles hanging around.
The closest I have to it is Tori Amos' +Strange Little Girls+. Each track has a different picture on the actual CD, so I scanned those in.
Cover flow shows the artwork from track 1. The other tracks only show their specific artwork when they are selected, and only becaue I went to the artwork tab and dragged around the images so the one I wanted was first in thebox.

Cover flow images

cover flow images look terrible, like out of focus, like being displayed in a different resolution. images are higher than 1024x798. is the a setting somewhere to adjust this
new to the mac osx just installed 10.5

It's not that simple. If there is no preview it does indeed create one, but mine are really poor quality. If there are existing previews it seems to use those. The image used in cover flow is not (necessarily) the one you get when you select Get Info. I've found some where the image is completely different because the image got edited at sometime and one of the previews never got updated. I've no idea how to fix this easily though.
I found some files that had reasonable previews in cover flow, but now they've been replaced by poor quality ones.

When I change the time zone of the clock, the "Date created" time information for my documents and image files in the Finder window (and in Get Info) is changed. Can I make the time info in "Date created" remain fixed regardless of the clock's timezone?

Cover Flow Images Blurry--numbers and pages files only

I was using the Cover Flow view in Finder today, and noted that the images associated with Apple software files--pages and numbers were blurry. pdfs, Word or Excel files show up crisp and clear, as do images.
This ocurs on both my iMac and MacBook. Is there a preference setting somewhere that needs to be set to get the file "images" to show up sharp? (I had a similar problem with .jpgs created in Photoshop, and learned there was a setting in PS to not save thumbnail images that solved the sharpness problem there.)
Thank you.

I use Creative Cloud storage. Want them there. At this point, I can't do that at all. It won't open anything not saved there.
In the past people have reported problems with saving Numbers 3 documents to cloud services other than iCloud. For example, see this thread. For a while even Dropbox didn't work well, though Dropbox has since fixed that. I think the problems have something to do with the fact that a Numbers document isn't a "file"; it's actually a collection of files organized in a folder that looks like one file in Finder. I understand that the Numbers 3 format is optimized for fast cross-platform sync; in that respect, it is certainly a big step forward from previous versions. Some cloud services seem to trouble with the format, though, and that may be what you are seeing.

Is there a limit to cover flow images?

I just added some new artwork to iTunes, but the new cover albums don't show up on my iPod. Is there a limit to the number of images you can have at one time?

I just figured it out. Some of the songs I had listed didn't show an album name, so I just added that and voila! The album art magically appeared in my cover flow.

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 - Arrows Don't Always Show

On MacBook and MacBook Pro, using "Cover Flow." Sometimes I get the arrows over a multi page document, but most of the time I don't. I can't seem to get the forward and backward arrows so I can scroll through the file. First, I thought it only worked with files created with Apple software. But, I can't get them to show up in Pages docs, Keynote, etc. I am sure these are multipage files.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I've tried everything. Right click; hover; control key. Can't find it in any of the reading
Thank you

i use cfinclude constantly with no problem... when you get
the 404 page, right click, go to properties and see what page is
being called.
i doubt this would be an issue but try dropping the "url."
from variable... (never know). i usually misspell things like
"PageName" for the same reason (never know) so would be pgName or
something. i never use common words unless i have to in variables
and db fields.
love CF but it has got tons of weird bugs that you just have
to work around.
hope this helps....

Adobe Muse with Edge Animate components plays great on the Mac but images don't show in Windows. Any suggestions?

I am using CC with both Edge Animate and Muse. After uploading to the website host it plays great on the Mac but images don't appear when I'm using Windows. Any suggestions?

Hi, VelveteenWebDesignGroup-
You're in luck! We just added in a feature to the latest version of Edge Animate CC (3.0) to enable the CDN option for OAM publish (what we call the "Animate Deployment Package"). This means that your Animate compositions can now references jQuery and the Animate runtime from the network instead of from the project directory. (Please note that this will only make sense for Dreamweaver and Muse integration with OAM and won't make sense for InDesign.)
To turn this on, launch Animate and go to File > Publish Settings. Then select the Animate Deployment Package on the left and click "Host runtime files on Adobe CDN." Save and publish, and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps,
-Elaine

Safari cover flow only displays bottom half of window

Help! The cover flow in safari only displays bottom half of the window, see the picture below,
However, those pages that can not be previewed show in full height of the window:
Any solution would be highly appreciated!!!

Ok..
Maybe an extension or plugin issues...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, back to the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security.
Deselect: Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, then you have one or more Safari add ons causing this.
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting plugins here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not a plugin issue, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .pilst file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

No Cover Flow Images

I just disconnected my 160-GIG i-Pod from the computer. None of the images of the CDs where I have gotten music from are showing up on my screen (I am referring to the cover flow). There is also a thin line dropping vertically between the menu and the image part of the screen.
When I reconnected the Pod to my computer, all of the covers were visible, and the Pod indicates the amount of used space dedicated to the images. But when I disconnected again, there were no images on the Pod.
Anyone have an idea what happened and/or how to fix this? Thanks.

You say your iPod indicates how much space is used by images? There is nowhere on the iPod to tell you specifically how much space is used by album artwork - you can see space used by audio, videos, photos, and other (in the Settings > About screen in the iPod).
You also mentioned the split screen (menu side and "images" side). This is not coverflow, this is the main screen. Coverflow is a specific screen that allows you to scroll through all of your albums and select by cover (found by going to Music > Coverflow).
Can you see the artwork for each of your CDs in iTunes - I mean is the artwork shown with each of the albums? Does coverflow work in iTunes? If not, then the artwork was not added correctly. It actually sounds like you added the artwork as separate images and not as part of the tracks or albums. Here is a link that give the basics of attaching artwork to songs.

How can I customize the default cover flow image?

I'd like to change the image cover flow displays for an album with no cover art to something a bit more personalized. Is this possible without major surgery?
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Right click (control-click for your Mac) on the song, Get Info > Artwork.
You can Paste in a picture, or add it from a file.
If there is a picture already there, click on it and then hit Delete before you paste the new one.

Why don't the finder windows stay the same size?

When I size a finder window (i.e. Pictures) they are never the same size the next time i open them, why?

Cover flow image all pixelate. How can I fix it?

in coverflow, some of the graphics ok the album cover are pixelatwd and mosaic looking. It's about every third of fourth album cover. In non-cover flow view they are all fine. What could have caused this and how can I fix it? In iTunes the graphics are fine.

Work through the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
A restore of the device in iTunes usually rules out any possibility of a software glitch as it reloads the iPod with a fresh version of the iPod's software. One last thing you can try doing is letting the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore in iTunes once more.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display or its connection to the iPod's logic board. You'll need to pay to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair service.
