Cover Flow on Windows XP not working, any suggestions?

I recently had a problem with my HP computer (certainly not the first) and had to recover it using recovery disks. Of course I lost everything and when I reinstalled iTunes, the cover flow option wasn't available. I have tried looking everywhere and performing the nesscessary steps to get it to work. It did work before my computer had to be restored. I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the latest updates. I checked the bit-rate, I guess you could call it and is at 32-bit. I turned up the hardware acceleration to full (it was already up there) and I downloaded a version of DirectX and it still does not work. If someone could help me out it would be much appreciated. I am technology-challenged.
Thanks!

Try checking your ipod settings, i had an itunes one change on its own once. Go to settings, then general, then rotate. If it says "off", then just hit the center button. If it says "cover flow", then see if it's the orientation sensor by going to the "maze" game if you have it to test it. The circle thing on the menu will probably glitch up/not move if it's the orientation sensor. If it responds normally (rolls/slides in the direction you tip the ipod), then i'm not sure. Try calling their customer service line at 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) if that happens. Also, if you are walking w/ it with the hold switch off, then it may me that your walking is shaking it enough to shuffle it. That's my theory, anyway.
BTW, are you're sure the ipod's not too flat for the sensor to register the rotation? I've done that before. It'll register at about a 45 degree angle.

    Yes indeed ddanielsun is encountering  the same problem that led me to initiate this thread ... If you try to install any of the available 10.9.x from 10.6.8 the installer exits with an error "10.9 required for this update" ... seems strange that 10.9 is so very hard to find ! ! !
    jeff
    Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
    It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
    The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

  • The return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    the return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    By the way, if you are still interested, I found a solution. It's a bit crazy, but basically I have insulated the parts of the keyboard connector corresponding to the power button using some thin tape and then used a very thin wire going from the logicboard (where the test pads for startup are located) to my eject key, this way the original power button does not respond anymore and the eject key can be used as the power button, just like in the new Airs
    I can provide photos if you want.

  • My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    try different audio or USB cables.
    try the speakers with a different computer.
    go to the speaker manufacturer's website and see if there's some troubleshooting info or a new driver that you need.
    check System Preferences > Sound > Output
    see if the speakers show up in the sound output device list
    make sure the mute box is unchecked.
    Check Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup
    see if your speakers are selected in the column on the left
    make sure the mute box is unchecked

  • Cover flow on ipod nano not working

    My cover flow on my ipod stopped working when i plugged in ipod. Have the covers on itunes just not ipod. Also songs skip to next song sometimes also. Could be any song I never know. Seems since i upgraded to new itunes version stuff has been going wrong.

  • Recently installed Firefox 14.0.1 on Windows Vista, and now windows webmail is not working. any suggestions?

    since installing Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on 7-15-12, and I believe Adobe Flash Player may have been installed at same time as well, I am unable to send e-mails using my Windows Vista system. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Are you using Hotmail / Windows Live Mail, or a different Windows webmail site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    When I look at your "More system details" list I don't see the Shockwave Flash plugin at all. You can check whether you have Flash installed and running on Adobe's "about" page here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Cover flow and "enhanced interface" not working on iPod

    I have an 80gb iPod classic video and it does not have the cover flow feature or "enhanced interface". I have updated the iPod software to version 1.2.3.
    Thoughts?

    *there's no way to download this feature?*
    No I'm afraid there's not. I think it is safe to say that going on past model changes the interface will not be added retrospectively. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The new changes are much more extensive than that one was so I wouldn't expect to see Cover Flow or any aspects of the new interface added through an Apple firmware update to earlier models.

  • Shift Command 3 Not Working, Any Suggestions?

    Hello, My Shift, Command, 3 does not take a screen shots any more.  I tried to delete (com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist) and reboot but it did not work.  Im using OS10.8.5 on a Mid 2007 iMac. Also I bought this from my friend and I changed the Name of the iMac & Disk, But the "HOME" Still has my fiends name why is this? Can anyone help me here? Thanks!

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.

  • Disk warrior not working - any suggestions?

    I recently purchased a mac mini, to keep everything working smoothly I tried installing and running Disk Warrior, it wouldn't work so I called their help desk and was informed that Disk Warrior would not work because of its intel processor and they are currently working on a new version, does anyone have any suggestions for a utility software (one better than first aid) that can be run on a intel machine? Also, I tried drive genius and it's not wanting to cooperate either. thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions !!!
    I agree wholeheartedly with Tim.
    Wait for Alsoft.
    Also, if you could add to your computer specs that you have a
    Intel Mac Mini, that would be very helpful to anyone trying to
    help you down the road . . . The Intel macs are a whole new
    ballgame, and people need to know that up front when responding
    to your questions.
    Thanks.
