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 does not update in full-screen mode

    Following an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 (141) and Lion (10.7.2) - I've noticed that Cover Flow no longer updates to the current song in full-screen mode. It will return to, and remain frozen at the first song of the playlist until manually updated or I revert to non-full-screen mode.

    I assume you are using a desktop shortcut to start Lightroom.  Look at the properties for that shortcut.  There should be an option to set it to "maximize".

  • Cover Flow Doesn't Update

    When I'm listening to my iPhone and using the shuffle feature, Cover Flow will not update the album image when one song finishes and another one begins. If I turn iPhone to vertical mode, the album image is updated.
    Why doesn't it update in horizontal mode?
    Has anyone else noticed this on their iPhone?

    Yep, I save seen this (and so has other people). I submitted this through the feedback link as a bug.

  • Finder cover flow not playing .mp4 files

    Recently I found the option to play video files while in the cover flow view in a finder window (click on the right pointing arrow that appears when hovering over the thumbnail).
    This week when I try playing a video (.mp4 files), I can see that the video is playing but it is not displayed. I know it is playing because I can hear the sound track, can see the reflection of the video below where the display of the video should be and the progress circle works.

    Anybody else seeing this? Anyone have a solution?

    This was fixed in the 10.6.4 update.

  • From Cover Flow repeat / play album only?

    Is there a way to have iTunes play/repeat just an album when selected via Cover Flow?
    (It's probably just me not seeing the option.)
    When one selects an album via 'Grid View -> Albums' only that album and its songs get selected. That's exactly what I'd like to have when selecting the album via Cover Flow.
    However if that an album is selected via Cover Flow, this album and all songs following are listed.
    Playing the album ends up playing everything... Yet I'd only like to repeat-play that album.
    Checking/Unchecking all songs individually (even via shift-cmd) to select just the album songs for play is not my idea of a good solution.

    There are two ways I know, but one is clunky and the other could be very time-consuming to set up.
    1) Make sure all the tracks in your library are unchecked. Then, check only the tracks in the album you want to play. You can use Uncheck All to do the first part, and then select the album tracks, right-click on one of them and click Check Selected. Or you can click the checkmarks on individually. Then, if you select the first album track and click Play iTunes will play through all the tracks that are checked and then stop. I haven't tried doing this with repeat, but it should repeatedly play the album tracks in sequence.
    2) You could build a playlist for every album you want to play through. Then, to play the album play the playlist.
    Unfortunately, iTunes does not provide a "play album" control. Perhaps Apple sees playing albums through in this manner like CDs or (worse) vinyl LPs as hopelessly 20th Century and something to be discouraged?

  • 4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

    I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
    I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
    I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
    Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Cover Flow Inop Since update

    My cover flow view became inoperative with the latest update. Just a black screen. All other views are working.. It is on a PC with windows 7. Anyone else had this issue ??

    Yes I have the exact same issue. Right pain in the butt too. Every time I update something s*&tty happens. but then, I am.. MA-CRETARDO... gotta earn the name, I guess...

  • Cover flow and playing music

    Hi, can some one try this with their touch and tell me what happens?
    Start a song, while song is playing, go to cover flow mode and just start flicking to next album arts. After about 20 seconds of flicking, song will just stop. I tried this over and over and song just stops. Is this a bug?
    thanks

    Nope, I did that and my music still continues to play. So I don't think it's a bug. Try reseting you touch.

  • What happened to cover flow, I just updated and I dont have it anymore ***??

    What happened to the cover flow with the album artwork?? is it somewhere on the new itunes version??

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
    N.b. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1 or later. Do not downgrade iTunes if you have already upgraded your devices... Roll back of iOS is not possible.
    If you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • So where is cover flow now then?

    Because the new interface on iTunes 11 is beyond hideous!!!
    I can't believe you guys took such a backwards step...  I absolutely HATE the new look.
    I've built up a library of nearly 15,000 songs on iTunes since around 2005, and tonight I feel like deleting everthing and starting again with a non-Apple product.
    Guys, you have BADLY misjudged this one.

    You are not talking to Apple here.
    To let Apple directly know how you feel, let them know at apple.com/feedback

  • The Finder and previews of files in cover flow

    Just looking at the Leopard video. When I go to the finder and have the cover flow options selected, I don't see any previews of anything on my folders. The folders all have generic names. Nothing like the video tour on apple website. I can't see a preview of something in a folder, let alone play a preview of a movie in one like they do on the video tour. Am I missing something here???

    I fixed my problem for the crappy looking .jpegs in cover flow now i want my folders to look good with the icons i gave them example i put the first .jpeg of the folder as a icon on the folder so I know what is in that folder. I did this along time ago but the icons look like crap. Can this be fixed? I thought cover flow showed the 1st file in the folders on cover flow?

  • Cover flow missing with Icloud

    I perchased music match and now can not see the cover flow when playing song. Could someone please help me out

    I too was having the blank/black cover flow problem.
    Here's what I did:
    Right-clicked on my desktop, clicked Properties and then clicked on the Settings tab. I then clicked Advanced, then the Troubleshooting tab and then I adjusted the Hardware acceleration to Full.
    Now I'm not sure if that's going to be of any help to you, but it surely fixed my problem.
    Hopefully it fixes yours, if not, then I'm sorry and I hope you get a fix in the near future.

  • Front Row won't do Cover Flow

    Album Cover Flow was working within Front Row a few weeks ago, but not now.
    Any ideas why not?

    Bizarre. This is going to sound weird, I know, but the full-screen Cover Flow now available with the latest itunes update is precisely what I was referring to when I opend this thread! I mean it's exactly what I was excited to have and then couldn't find again until I made the update tonight. I remember using the remote to control features like volume and track selection, which you can do in full-screen Cover Flow, so I suppose that's why I assume(d) it was in Front Row. (I still contend I was in Front Row, though, with Cover Flow.)
    Only thing I can think of is that after purchasing my macbook in late Nov. I had to return it due to hardware issues and maybe during the repair in Dec. it was upgraded with new software? Thank you, Tim

  • The cover flow in my ipod doesn't work

    When I'm in cover flow view and playing an album, the ipod keeps on looping the same album. Also, can the cover flow view plays songs by tracks but not albums?

    Cover flow lets you select an album to play, optionally letting you choose which track to start playing. What happens next depends on your shuffle & repeat options, but it will only play tracks from the selected album until you choose another one.

  • Cover Flow Help, please!

    I'm having trouble with "cover flow" on my new macbook air (and had the same problem with my old macbook).  I view my old photos in "cover flow" format in finder, but it has stopped working properly.  The photos are all pixely and don't reflect rotations I've saved.  It worked properly on my old macbook for years, then stopped, and I don't think it's ever worked properly on my new one.  Here's an example:
    Please help if you have any ideas!  Thanks.

    Got it - just sync adding/removing music and cover flow now works. And wait 2 secs when you hit Albums before tilting for Cover Flow.
