Finder/Cover Flow is out of sync by one file?

Hi all, I've had this problem for a while and it's really frustrating.In Finder using the 'Cover Flow' option, my files are out of sync by one file. By 'out of sync', I mean the the bottom half of the screen is showing one file but the top half of the screen is 'previewing' the wrong file by one. It's only off by one file, but this is really annoying.
When I use the view options 'Icons', 'list' or 'columns' I don't have this problem.What can I do?
Thanks for any help!

com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

IPhone work switch to Cover Flow, portrait view when turned on its side!

Hi
I have only had my phone for a week and its seems to have just stopped switching to Cover Flow or portrait view in Safari or when looking at photos when its turn on its side.. but everything else appears to work fine...
I've restarted, refreshed, recharged, reinstalled the software from scratch and its still the same...
Any ideas?

That's the weird thing. In all the apps I have the accelerometer appears to rejoster the motion correcty.
I have an app with a small ball that moveswhen you tilt or rotate the iPhone and this clearly register the rotation perfectly. So I can only assume the accerometer is working fine.
But when I go to Safari and rotate the iPhone on it's side it doesn't rotate the browser as it should.
When I go into iTunes and again rotate the iPhone it doesn't change to cover flow.
And again when looking at pictures it doesn't rotate the image.
The annoying thing is that it all used to work and only just seems to have stopped, yet nothing has happened to have caused this.

Images are not comming out when application is running through jar file.

I have written an application program using j2sdk1.4.1 that needs your help.
My application folder's contents.....................................................................................
     C:\Examination\Examination.class <-----This is the main class and application's entry point.
     C:\Examination\ExamBox.class
     C:\Examination\PaperSetterBox.class
     C:\Examination\pspBox.class
     C:\Examination\epBox.class
     C:\Examination\TimerBox.class
     C:\Examination\ReportCardBox.class
     C:\Examination\HelpBox.class
     C:\Examination\AboutBox.class
     C:\Examination\Images\(some jpg & gif files)
     C:\Examination\Sounds\(some au files)
Compilation Report:     There was no error.
Execution Report :     Was working properly using the command:- java Examination
Now, I created a jar file for my application in the following steps.................................
          STEP-1:          Firstly, I created a text file(mainclassInfo.txt) that contains
          the line:--     Main-Class: Examination
          This line would be automatically added to the default manifest file when I would include the                name of that text file with the command to create the jar file.
          Location of the text file I created:     C:\mainClassInfo.txt
          STEP-2:          Then I went to C:\Examination and executed the following command(by using                'Command prompt'):--------------------------------------------------------------------
jar cmf C:\mainClassInfo.txt Examination.jar Examination.class ExamBox.class PaperSetterBox.class pspBox.class epBox.class TimerBox.class ReportCardBox.class HelpBox.class AboutBox.class Images Sounds
Finally, I got the jar file:-     Examination.jar
Double clicking on it application ran as it was expected.
Then, I thought, that as all the files & folders the application needed to run properly were packaged in the jar file; I should delete all the contents of the folder 'Examination', so that no one could see or use anything of the resources easily. I did that.
So, then it became only:-- C:\Examination\Examination.jar
Thereafter, I tried to run the application again and there a problem occurred! The application was running, but the images, those were to be used and shown by the application were missing somehow!!
Moreover, when I kept a copy of those 2 folders('Images' and 'Sounds') into the C:\Examination and ran the application again all the images came out normally!
I just can't understand why it's happening so mysterious?
I don't want to leave anything of the resources in an open place; I mean, outside of the jar file. The images should be used and shown by the application.
Help me please!

The Image class itself does not have any methods for loading images from files so you must be using something more. Most methods for loading images from files have an overload that lets you use a URL, so you just need to use that method with a call to getResource like in the other thread. If you can't think of anything else, you can use ImageIcon to load an Image (the Image is returned by a call to ImageIcon.getImage). See also "how to use icons" from the swing tutorial:

Cover Flow annoying when trying to adjust volume during a workout

When I want to adjust a song that might be too low or too loud and my nano's on the arm band how do you lower or raise the volume when it switches to cover flow? It tends to switch easily and I have to try and get the nano to be more vertical to try and adjust the volume. When it's slightly at an angle the cover flow comes out and then it starts to switch the covers. Is there a way to disable cover flow. It's kind of useless to me in a nano. Only place it truly works is on an iphone. Anyways any ideas or does this have no resolution. BTW I loved my older nano, but it broke down and got this from the holidays.

It annoyed the crap out of me too. plug your ipod into itunes and get any updates if available. otherwise these options will not show up on your ipod
then go to settings>general>rotate>off

Carousel View Better Than Cover Flow For The Finder?

I have been using my .Mac Web Gallery quite a bit lately and I love the new and improved Carousel view. Apple keeps updating it (they added reflections, a nice play/pause scroll bar, and now you can use the scroll wheel (or ball) on your mouse just like Cover Flow in iTunes and the Finder) making it better and better and it has gotten to the point where I think it would make a lot more sense (and look nicer) for Apple to implement it in the Finder in place of Cover Flow. Cover Flow works perfectly for iTunes still (as that's what it was intended for) and I think that it's "Ok" in the Finder in Leopard, but now that Apple has cleaned up the Carousel view so much in the .Mac Web Gallery, I can see it looking PERFECT in the Finder in Leopard. For anyone who's used or seen the Cover Flow view in the Finder, you'll realize what I mean when I say that it's "Ok". The problem with it is that most of the dynamically generated icons in Leopard are not nice squares like the albums in iTunes so the icons off to the sides of the center one look skewed and distorted. The Carousel view would fix that problem while retaining the benefits of the Cover Flow view and, from what I can see, would actually enhance the benefits because the side icons would be easier to see as they are not skewed. All I'm suggesting is for Apple to swap out the Cover Flow view in the Finder for the Carousel view and then the Finder would really SHINE! So, my question to any of you is, "Would you vote for the Carousel view to replace the Cover Flow view in the Finder?" Please let me know any of your ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

I made a newer post about this same topic (trying to be a little more strategic) and this time I included a link to a video demonstrating my point. Here's the post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574743#6574743.
I couldn't agree with you more on the custom folder icon issues. I'm beginning to find out what the problem is on that. I have used the newest version of Candy Bar for my Home directory icons and that works fine, but there are some folders that I want to use a different icon for and leave the rest as they are. Candy Bar can't do this for me (as it only works with the generic icons) and so I used Apple's Icon Composer application (in the Developer Tools) to make the correct icon sizes for Leopard and then saved them as .icns but then copying and pasting that on a folder would result in the default ICNS icon and not my custom icon (that was under 10.5.1). So I finally got the custom icon to appear, but it only works for sizes 128x128 and lower, even though I put a 512X512 version in there. That's why it doesn't show up in Cover Flow. For some reason, Leopard "blacks" out anything larger than 128x128 on "Cut and Paste" icons. I found that out by copying my custom icon from the Get Info panel and then opening that in Preview and it shows a black background for the larger icons instead of the alpha channel. I'm still trying to figure this out. Also, IconBuilder seems to be doing the same thing (making and ICNS file) but it seems to work better. I haven't used that since I've upgraded to Leopard but from what I've read it should work, but I don't have Photoshop right now. Well, thanks for posting and agreeing with me on the Carousel view and I hope you check out my video. Thanks.

The same album appears more than once in cover flow

*1st question:* I just got my i-pod and i-tunes pulled album artwork automatically for the songs i put in i-tunes (not all of them of course), but when i view them on my i-pod using cover flow it will have the same album cover 2 or 3 times side by side. How do i get the cover flow option to only show one album? Why is it doing this - doubling up on an album with the same songs? Do i have to rename the album within the properties of the mp3 files to make them all the same?
*2nd question:* Can i assign a mp3 file or song to a specific album within i-tunes? If i have a song that i don't know the album name of or if i don't care and just want it with other songs for an artist can i add that song to an album that is already established within i-tunes and has album artwork? I also want to use this to get rid of the grey boxes for songs that i-tunes could not find album art for - i just want to put all of these random songs into one album. Can i do this somehow?

Can i assign a mp3 file or song to a specific album within i-tunes?
Right click - get info and type in an album name.
If i have a song that i don't know the album name
I'd give it an album name of Unknown Album
I also want to use this to get rid of the grey boxes for songs that i-tunes could not find album art for - i just want to put all of these random songs into one album. Can i do this somehow?
Select all the songs, right click - get info.
Give them an album name (such as Unknown Album) and paste in a picture of your choosing.

Subtle Mac Humor in Finder "Cover Flow" View

Has anyone else noticed this?
When I use the "Cover Flow" view mode when looking for other computers on my office network via the Finder, the Macs on the network are displayed as the newest anodized aluminum iMacs.
The PCs are shown as drab beige CRT monitors, with MicroSoft's "Blue Screen of Death" message on the monitors.
Someone at Apple has a wicked sense of humor.
Gotta love it!

It happens... See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more.

Cover flow all wrong

Hi there, I've just bought an ipod Classic 120gb and everything's fine aside from having 40 odd albums at the end of the cover flow completely out of alphabetical order. Some are compilations but most aren't and nothing that I've read on this problem seems to help at all; for instance Abba 'Gold' is at the back but under file and get info it's down as Abba artist Abba blah blah so why is not first in the list? This isn't 'Apple' surely, please help...

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.

ITunes 7.3.2: ArtWork does not match Images on Cover Flow View and iPod

Hello everyone, this is my first post, thanks in advance for any and all help.
I have loaded most of my music collection onto iTunes, and authorized it to get album artwork. It has only found about 60% of my cover art (I have a lot of international discs, etc.), and of what it does find maybe 60% is correct. So I have spent a lot of time adding artwork by either scanning in cover art or cutting and pasting from the web. I go to "Get Info" and check the artwork tab all the time to make sure that only artwork that is correct or that I have added is attached to each of my song files.
However, I have noticed that there is a significant amount of my song files that, when I use cover flow view, or when I play the songs on my video iPod, the artwork that is on the artwork pane and what appears on the cover flow view don't match. Or the artwork that is in the artwork pane (and the only artwork in the get info artwork section) and what shows up on my iPod, don't match up. It is, for an OCD completist like me, rather annoying.
As an example, I have a lot of compilation albums. I have probably 13 different albums by different artists but which all have the same name of "The Ultimate Collection". There are some tracks for each album where the artwork pane and the cover flow view artwork match, but not all of the tracks.
I selected "group compilations when browsing", but that doesn't help. I selected all the tracks from the same album and clicked yes to whether it is a compilation, and that didn't work.
Does anyone have a simple, QUICK solution for making the artwork I have put in the artwork pane override or force itself on the cover flow view? Horrible phrasing I know, but thank you in advance for your help!

I had the same problem when I updated to 7.3, but I was able to fix it.
As far as I can tell, itunes 7.3 sees all music files (in your user/itunes/music folder) with the extension .mpg as quicktime movies, not mp3's and itunes won't let you add a cover to them. The problem is that songs imported as mp3's by previous versions of iTunes were all given the extension .mpg and not .mp3 (at least on my machine). I was able to fix the problem by simply changing the .mpg to .mp3 for all of my songs. As soon as I did this, the album artwork showed up again.
You have a few options for how you change the extension. You can right click on every file in your itunes library and select "Show In Finder" to change the file extension, or if you have many songs to fix (I had 793) you can download 'A Better Finder Rename' (search for it at www.versiontracker.com, it costs $20 to change more than 10 files at a time) which will make the changes automatically. If you are cheap you can always set up an automator work-flow to get the job done.
Hope this helps

Cover Flow "Now Playing" Update

When I hold the iPhone horizontally the song currently playing does not "flow" to the current song when it changes track.
Is there a way to make it update automatically to the current song in cover flow?

Typically when you start having trouble with album art displaying incorrectly you've got two options. One try removing all music from the ipod, and then resync. If that doesn't help you're going to have to restore the ipod, which will erase everything on it, so if you have to use this option, make sure anything on your ipod is backed up on your computer.

Cover Flow Display Problem

Has anyone experienced the situation where in cover flow display the album cover will appear when not the primary display (it's one to the left or right and appears 'sideways') but when you place it in the primary display position (the one you're focused on) that area is just black? This is only happening on a few albums but not others. If anyone has a solution to this I'd really appreciate it. I'm very computer savvy, and have tried everything I can think of but can't fix it.

After hours of frustrating experimentation, my partner appears to have found a workaround for this problem. If you have cover art not showing up at all, or showing up in the Cover Flow, but not when you turn your iPod Touch back vertically, this is what to do. If you view the info on a single file in iTunes, you'll notice the cover art sits in the middle of the screen in the Artwork view. What you need to do is create a blank 200x200 72 resolution image file (I don't think these paramaters must be exactly as noted, you just need a square, blank image file). Then add this blank image as a second image to the album that won't display its cover art. Afterward you should have the original artwork on the left half of the display and the blank part on the right. It won't work to just use the slider to get the original file to the left by sliding the slider one place to the left, because once you exit it just puts the picture back in the middle again. You have to add a blank image file. (In fact, the second image file doesn't even have to be blank, if you just want to use another album image file you have.) Once you have the artwork you want displayed fixed to the left half, everything works fine.

Cover Flow on iTunes and iPod not syncing properly...help!

When I add an album to my iTunes library, it works fine (i.e. it's grouped properly) in Cover Flow, but when I sync it to my iPod, it doesn't show up properly on my iPod's cover flow. How do I fix this?
I guess I should add that the album has an Album Artist because there are three tracks with different artists. Get my drift? PLEASE HELP!

It will probably help if we know what it does do.
Is it:
1. you turn the iPod to landscape so that covers display, but there is a problem here?
2. while in portarit mode, the cover is displayed - but in your case - what?
3. something else?
Oh, and by the way, 21 views (from other users, not trained Apple staff) in 1 hour and four minutes - probably not from everywhere in the world! (Take note of where I am.) It can take a day or two before someone who knows the answer reads your post - usually after they have finished work, getting home, eating, etc etc.
