Cover Flow is a tiny bar

The Cover Flow on iTunes became a tiny bar http://i43.tinypic.com/20utpmq.jpg but it works on fullscreen mode http://i41.tinypic.com/22f346.jpg. Is this a problem with iTunes or my computer?

Nah, just looks like it got squished way up top and the division line part you hover over to drag/pull it back down is partially hidden, try hovering over the middle portion right underneath the squished cover flow division (there's a small white horizontal line, i'm guessing that's ballparking it) until you get the double-arrows and drag it back down.
If not I think you can trash a small preferences file, that might restore the window size, not sure how it would work on your system, but it should be fine.

  • Blurry Scroll Bar in Cover Flow. Help?

    Well... i've had my new macbook for about 3 weeks. have about 100 songs in there so far. on itunes. today my friend sent me mp3 files and the moment i got them i put them in itunes. the problem is i discovered that after putting the songs on itunes, the scroll bar on the cover flow became blurry.
    i quit itunes and started it again and the scroll bar was normal again. but then i went into the itunes store and came back to my music, in cover flow and the scroll bar was blurry again.
    what does this mean? VIRUS?
    obviously something is not steady here. any words? thanks.

    This definitely isn't a show-stopper, but it is annoying (Don't fret -- its not a virus. Nor does it have anything to do with your Music collection.). I have the same glitch with Cover Flow. I've found its relatively easy to (temporarily) fix: all you need to do is resize the iTunes window (by just 1 pixel will do).
    Hopefully this is more permanently fixed in a future version of iTunes.
    For those who are wondering what I'm talking about, when I open iTunes in Cover Flow mode the horizontal scroll bar (slider) is nice and crisp. However, if I switch to another application, or simply click into another section of iTunes (like Movies, or the iTunes Store) and then click back to my Library of Music, the Cover Flow horizontal scroll bar often appears fuzzy, or blurry. Resizing the iTunes window temporarily fixes the glitch (at least, until I switch sections again).
    Here's a screenshot comparing the crisp and blurry scrollbars:

  • Cover Flow Scroll Bar is Blurry

    Hey,
    In cover flow, I notice that the scroll bar is blurry. I've found a temporary fix for it by resizing the cover flow window which resets the horizontal scroll bar to a clear, crisp image. However, as soon as you go back to whatever source (Libary, or any of my playlists) you were originally in, the scroll bar appears blurry again.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and know a way to fix it?

    It happened to me too, right after I went into full screen mode and scrolled. It was fine before that. Here's a screenshot: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e135/aqua-star/Picture4.png

  • Why does my cover flow scroll bar look like THIS?

    here you can see how very often the scrollbar looks like. is there any known reason for that? when I change the size of the cover flow part of the window it changes back to normal. but very often, even in full screen view, the scroll bar looks this blurred...
    any suggestions?

    it should be sharp & clear, not blurry
    Quit jiggling the camera when you take the picture?
    (Yes, I know it was a screen shot and not a camera.)
    I'll load up iTunes 7 later tonite and see what happens.

    I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the  picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
    Thanks for any help,
    Graham

    I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

  • White Letterbox Bars, Cover Flow Scrambled

    Hi,
    Just got a new 8GB iPod Nano (video). It's fantastic, but I noticed a couple of bugs:
    When playing video in widescreen, the widescreen bars are white, not black
    When playing video fullscreen, there's a 1-2 pixel white vertical line on the right edge of the screen
    Cover Flow seems a bit buggy. I've had all my Album Artwork show up as scrambled pink noise, which disappeared after a Center+Menu reset.
    Anyone else noticed these bugs?

    That's unfortunate because typically Apple products are very reliable. But it seems this year (2007) especially, they've been rushing out unfinished products with a lot of bugs in them. The new iPod Nano is surely, at the moment, the most buggy iPod ever. As I've said in another post, it prevents my PC from booting into Windows! Hopefully they'll fix these problems soon.

  • Cover Flow not visible

    Somehow the bottom columns of my cover flow window got pushed all the way up and all I'm left with is a tiny black bar. I've clicked around and can't find a handle to pull it back down and resetting safari didn't fix it either.
    Any suggestions?

    You're welcome and thanks for the star I've sent feedback to Apple regarding this issue hoping they'll come up with an enhancement.
    You can provide feedback here if you want.

  • My cover flow does not work on my 3rd gen 64 gb ipod touch

    My cover flow does not work on my 3rd gen 64 gb ipod touch and neither does shake to shuffle.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can Cover Flow view be limited to playback of only one album at a time?

    Hi all,
    I've been using the Cover Flow view in my iTunes Library more and more lately (after years of suffering owning a slow machine). But there has been a question regarding playback that has been slightly nagging me for a little while. I couldn't come up with effective search results, so I'll pose the question to the masses.
    Cover Flow playback (by default) seems limited to playing through one album and jumping straight into the next album in the Library without stopping. Scroll through the track listing in the lower screen and you'll notice that iTunes lists every track from every album in your Library.
    (picture one of those digital bar jukeboxes and an unlimited bankroll...)
    Conversely, when clicking the album's title in the default List view, iTunes will only play the tracks in that particular album's playlist, and stop playback once this is finished. I have grown used to this option when desiring to fall asleep to one particular album only... and not the 476 albums which follow it.
    Is there a workaround in place to emulate this "List View" playback behavior for Cover Flow playback?
    Just curious... if not, it isn't the end of the world - List View will still continue to serve its specific purpose for my needs.
    I just have a thirst for knowledge.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Jeremy,
    Conversely, when clicking the album's title in the default List view, iTunes will only play the tracks in that particular album's playlist, and stop playback once this is finished.
    I'm not sure I follow you here — if I click a track in list view, iTunes always goes on to the next track when it's over (assuming Shuffle is off). If that's the next track on an album, great, but when I come to the end of an album it moves on to the next one.
    Or are you talking about the Browser? Selecting an album in the Album browser pane will indeed produce the results you're describing, since the rest of your library will be excluded.
    Yes that's correct - my apologies, I was at work at the time and was working from memory. I've had the Browser enabled since day one that it almost becomes second nature.
    My iTunes interface, while displaying in List mode with the Browser active, limits the upper display fields to only Artist and Album panes.
    And exactly as you said, once the album finishes playing, iTunes ceases playback.
    Is there a workaround in place to emulate this "List View" playback behavior for Cover Flow playback?
    Yes, but it's a bit clunky: use the Search box to narrow down your library until only one album is displayed.
    Yes you are correct - it is a bit clunky. But it does work for the most part, provided that the album title is unique from a song title on another album.
    Thanks for the info Jeremy!

  • Lack of UI and No Cover Flow for Videos?

    Why is there no cover flow in the iPod touch/iPhone/any iPods for movies and videos? I don't even remember seeing a menu bar at the bottom of the screen to view videos in different categories.
    Has anyone else noticed the lack of a good UI in the Video section of the iPod touch? I ask because this option is available in iTunes, and frankly, cover flow one of the coolest features, that is, whizzing through all your DVD covers.

    Your remarks are falling on deaf ears here no one works for apple here. PLease post your comments for enhancements at the link below.

  • Cover flow Size

    Hi
    I am using cover flow in the finder and I expanded it by using the three lines below the cover flow scroll bar but every time I open a window the size of cover flow gets smaller. Is there a way I can set cover flow to a default size in the finder so it stays that size?
    Thanks

    it just keeps getting smaller until it reaches its minimum height which you can set by dragging the three lines upwards until it stops.
    i would love it if cover flow stayed at the height which i set it too in each Finder folder which is about 10 lines in the list view below so you can a fair preview of the document.

  • Cover Flow preview in Finder fails to work

    Hello,
    I updated recently to  OS X Mavericks, and since i updated there have been problems in the Preview (Cover Flow preview in Finder.
    When i open a folder and scroll down items, sometime there are 10 images and in cover flow shows only half and the other half are like not previewing them as they don’t exist in the folder so when i click on list view then gives me just file names i can see full list and open all files big, but the Cover flow is failing to work and desplay preview images - not previewing the correct fles mix, image names, for example i click on file 1 and it shows file 2… when i delate an image from the folder it just keeps a ghost image there so you don’t know if its actually erased, but again when u open in list view mode its ok, or you constantly have to close and reopen the folder to refresh the view in cover flow, so 100% Cover Flow fails to work since the update.
    can you tell me what is wrong?how can i fix it please as i really need this feature?
    Thank you

    Does QuickLook work?
    Select the File and tap the space bar?
    Regards

  • 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?

  • No icon for Cover Flow in Finder

    I have recently upgraded my ibook G4 to Leopard. The cover flow option with quick look in the finder is wonderful. Unfortunately, I seem to be missing the little eyeball icon in the Finder window toolbar. I can access Quick Look by hitting the space bar, but I'm wondering why the icon is missing? Did I get a defective version of Leopard?!?!?

    1) That's the quicklook tool, not cover flow. Cover flow is a black rectangle with two parallel lines along each side.
    2) Finder->View->Customize toolbar->drag the quicklook icon to the toolbar.
