Cover Flow Mix Up and Album Song Mix Up Question

I just got an 80gb ipod and have all my songs on it now. i am just about finished with getting all of the album covers that i didnt have into my itunes now. i didnt get any of the album covers from itunes, i just did a search for all of em in google.
anyways, for some reason i have one song from the red hot chili peppers greatest hits album (soul to squeeze) and if you click on get info and then click on artwork the correct cover is there but in the cover flow and album view its zz tops greatest hits cover and underneath it reads greatest hits and then underneath that its Various Artists. My Queen greatest hits album has the same zz top cover and reads the same as well, lol. i cant figure out how to fix this.
one more thing before i go guys, i have a couple of albums where the songs are not together but the artist and album names are the same, ive retyped the artists name and album to see if i somehow made a mistake the first time but they are still seperate, what the heck else can i do. its annoying have an album where the songs are not together?
once i fix these problems am i going to have to resynch my ipod again, i have 6thousand plus songs, that took forever the first time i did that. im hopin i can just plug the ipod into itunes and it will just fix what is different??
thanks, guys

nope, the songs are not mixed up at all. like i said, its just the album art and the artist name underneath the album which reads "various artists". my queen greatest hits and my red hot chili peppers greatest hits say the same thing and both have my zz top greatest hits album cover lol.
now if you click get info on the album the artwork is the correct artwork which blows my mind.
somebody please helps, its so annoying.
thanks
one more thing, do i have to resync my whole ipod again just to get the album artwork on there or is there a faster way than having to resync 6thousand plus songs?? ive actually never resync so maybe it will just add stuff thats different instead of just putting everything back on??

IPhone 4s cover flow slow down and jerky help

Hi all
i have copied my music over from my backup 3GS to iPhone 4s but in cover flow it is very very jerky and not as smooth at all, my 3gs is way smoother an much better than on the iphone 4s it even has problems loading the covers up as there is a delay in doing so as it seems to b slow
whats happend there not as good as my 3GS
So i tried to remove all songs and turned off the iPhone and powered the phone back up and put the music back on and its still jerky and not as smooth what the hells going on this phone should breeze through cover flow view
My 3GS is still on iOS 4 does anyon have the same problems ? Try to scroll fast and it just jerks and slows down but like I say not on the 3gs
Any help

Hi, I have the same problem with my 4s. After reading all the suggestion on this and simmilar forums I checked my picture files assigned to my albums. I selected in iTunes an album, then right click to get pop up menu, selected "get info. Then I went to artwork, copied it (right click, copy), then I copied the picture to picture editor to see the properties. I noticed that some of my pictures assigned to albums are huge, something like 2000 x 2000 pix.
When I repliced them with smaller ones, i.e. max 600 x 600, everything become smoth. Now my cover flow work perfectly as it should be. Definitly ther must be something wrong with iOS5 because before I did not notice such a problem on 3GS of 4 model, even I had the big picture assigned to the album

Duplicate Cover Flow on "Various Artists" Albums

Hi. I know this has been asked a thousand times, I did do a Search and found a solution but it doesnt seem to want to work for me.
The way I thought you were supposed to fix this problem is to Open iTunes, Select Every Song on the Album, Get Info, Type a Name in the Album Artist Field, Select Compilation, Hit OK.
When I do this, iTunes "processes" the songs but then nothing happens. If I go back to Get Info, it doesnt save anything I typed in.
Any ideas?? Do I not have the right privlidges? (Im supposed to be Admin) ... Is it a setting in iTunes?? I'm lost, and the duplicate cover flow is sooooooooo annoying!! Plz help!!

I think it is a good idea to start a backup strategy since it is not a matter of "if" but "when" your internal drive will have problems. Sometimes it can be costly not only in terms of time but also money to buy software that may or may not recover your internal drive. If you have to buy $200 worth of software to recover your drive you may as well have bought a decent backup drive in the first place. However, you already have that drive. Is your iMac a newer Intel model? If so, and if your drive is USB then I believe you can boot your Mac from that, otherwise you need a Firewire drive.
This is starting to get outside my area of expertise since I just have Tiger on an older PPC, and the capabilities and requirements of newer intel Macs and Leopard will change your backup strategy parameters. Depending upon the size of your internal drive and other factors you might end up wanting to partition your external into one general backup partition which is the same size as your internal drive, and a second partition for extra data storage. However, you should never have important data only on one drive and the problem with the aforementioned strategy is you don't have a backup for the data you have on that second partition on your external drive should the external drive fail! When I expand I always buy two drives so I can have backup for the extra data. The exception is where I have backups on CDs or DVDs. For example, my CDs on my internal drive are already "backed up" in the form of the original CDs in my collection.
I know this is going beyond your initial question but you should think about it. You might also want to read and/or post in the Leopard or iMac forum about a good strategy for backing up your computer.

Enable artist overview, cover flow on ipod AND artist column in iTunes...

Greetingz
Here's the problem:
I want to enable the artist column in iTunes for all my music.
I can already do this with genres and albums, and its so convenient.
However the artist column is showing only "collections" instead of -+for example Abba, Aerosmith, ACDC, ..+-
This is because I have put everything on Complication "Yes"
and on my ipod classic complication in the music menu is 'clicked' off. Why? so the ipod doesn't show all covers separately in the cover flow. its all good on the ipod; I can also get a list of all artists and genres. But in iTunes the artist column only gives one category and thats "complications" not like abba aerosmith acdc you name it. How can I get this right for both the ipod (remember also the cover flow as well as the artists must work correctly) AND iTunes? I find this very complicated and one of the only things I am unable to figer out.
Many many thanks to all who help!

"Compilation" means that the album is one of those Time-Life type "Disco Hits" or "50's Greats" CDs that aren't by one artist. I would suggest either turning off compilations for everything or going through each song and filling in the "Album Artist" field.

ITunes 9.2 bug - Cover Flow flickers when browing through song info window

I am running iTunes 9.2.0.61 on Windows Vista 64-bit.
I am in my music library, and have the Cover Flow view enabled. If I select a song from my music library and go to "Get Info", I get another window that pops up showing me the details for that song. If I press the "Next" or "Previous" button in the Info window, the Cover Flow window flickers with every press. Every time I press one of those buttons, I briefly see either my Movies window or Apps window. It then returns to the normal Cover Flow view. It will only flicker when pressing one of those buttons. If I'm in Cover Flow and using the slider, it does not flicker.

You r not alone Rob! I just posted the same complain in a previous thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1121028&tstart=0
yeah..i just hope this whole Coverflow problem,along with the ridiculously slow menu response is fixed b4 my 14 days return period is up, if not...this iPOD is going back and am going back to my iPod Photo!

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.

Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

... and that really bothers me!
As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.
Apple... FIX THIS, PLEASE!

If it's an issue that you feel needs their attention, I'd submit feedback to Apple directly, as they have no employees dedicated to reading these forums. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/ to send your request.

Finder Cover Flow is broken and doesn't show the correct file I click on

When I go into my Downloads and press the spacebar to preview a photo, it will preview the photo before it for some weird reason.
Example:
I highlight and press space for "Photo 2", but instead it will show "Photo 1" in the Cover Flow and will Preview that instead.

Totally broken for me too. This is a giant, gaping hole in the OS LOL. I fire up a Finder window w/ cover flow view, erase a file, and now the highlighted image in the list below is off by one file and it doesn't remove the preview of the just-deleted file in the Cover Flow pane. Sad. This is just an embarrassing bug Big A. How do you not fix this before going public with a major point release? Not to mention the scrolling issue.

Cover flow view of music albums

In Music, when I turn my phone sideways now I don't get cover flow view of albums. Help! Does anyone know how to change this back?

It's OK - I've worked it out. Orientation Lock was on.

Cover flow very sticky and slow with garbled images

The images in my cover flow area are gibberish, literally random lines and colors and cover flow itself is very sticky and slow. Oddly, there are on occasion covers that are normal. Does anybody know what this is or is anybody having this issue? It was this way with 7.6 and it's the same way with 7.6.1, I was hoping it would get corrected.

Comment about my previous comment. It's not just slightly slow, it's incredibly slow as in press the slidebar down arrow and wait a couple seconds for 1 increment of movement slow. The only time is returns to a normal speed is when I go to a screen without cover flow. For example, when I click the 'all movies' link in the iTunes store. I had this problem with 7.6 and it still exists with 7.6.1.

Mix CDs and Album Art

Does anybody know how I can get a Mix CD onto my iPod (5th Gen) so there is no gap between the tunes, as it is on the CD, but I can still skip between the tracks so it is not just one large file?
And also, how do I get album art for the CDs which I have put onto iTunes?

1. Yo can't
2. You find the album art, ex in Google pictures, and copy and paste it. Highlight the songs from the same album in iTunes and paste the picture in the bottom left hand corner in iTunes

Cover Flow Album Art won't change with Song Change

When I play songs in Cover Flow mode (landscape), the album remains on the same album that I first played even though the song has advanced to another album. Is this behavior consistent with anyone else or is this only my iPhone that is acting this way? Seems like the album art would change when the song changes, as it does in portrait mode.

I have many problems occuring randomly when i try to use Spotify on my Ipad Air 2 in the BMW car in offline mode.
*After some time Album Art and track names are no longer updated
* After some time some of the HMI buttons get greyed out
I was able to solve all these issues by temporarily enabling WLAN hotspot on my mobile phone, then spotif on the ipad will correct itself.
Of course that's no permanent solution to fiddle with the mobile phone while driving, it must be some sort of bug of spotify that will hopefully get fixed to have proper offline usability in the car.

Quick Mix in Cover Flow

Hi all..
Not sure if it's just my iPod.. or if this is by design (hope not). I'm unable to add tracks to my QuickMix from Cover Flow (by pressing and holding down the center button).
Can anyone else?

Well.. If that's the case..
Apple.. Please add support to add songs to the On The Go Playlist via the song listing in Cover Flow.

Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
Well I am having a few problems/questions:
---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around
