In other iPod views and in iTunes.
However, sometimes I experience cover art problems when using the shuffle feature and skipping multiple songs in rapid succession. (The cover art is the wrong cover art, and it's shifted down and to the right and tiled with other cover arts.)
How have you entered the information for songs that have more than one artist in the artist field, both in the "Info" & "Sort" tabs of iTunes?
I'll try that right now and get back to you.

Cover flow problems

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.1.2 but I am unable to bring up coverflow. When I try to iTunes shuts down. Any ideas? On my Apple TV it doesn,t show any album artwork, could this be why?

I just installed iTunes 7 and supposedly got all the
album art for my songs. Now the problem is when go
to view cover flow it says it cannon be viewed on my
computer. What could be the problem?
I'm having the same cover flow problem on my imac using system 10.4.7 - itunes 7- says cover flow can not be viewed on this computer. Cover art shows on the other views - just not cover flow - Any ideas???

Cover flow problem

I recently converted to Mavericks. I'm finding that when I view files in 'cover flow' and delete a file from the list the picture of the file does not simultaneously delete and so become out of sync with the list. Anyone have this problem? a solution?

I had the same problem. You may need to fix this in the music library in iTunes. (right) Click on the album title info and choose Get Album Artwork. Some tracks don't have artwork and others pick up different artwork than you expect. You can live with what it has or upload your own if you prefer.

Album view and Cover Flow problem

Well, im going to get one of the new ipods soon and they have that Cover Flow feature which is pretty cool. Anyway i have a problem, when i try and sort them by album, i go to Album View and even if the album names are the same, they arnt in the same box, because they have various artists. Ill show some pics now.

All the ones without artcovers so far, are all the songs from the album "MOS" like you saw in the previous picture. So does anyone know how to fix that problem? Because i dont want like 20 MOS albums showing up on the Ipod with only 1 song in each of them when i can have them all in one.
Thanks

You need to select the "Compilation" button on each to overide the fact that there is a different artist for each song. think about it, the chances of two different artists having the same name for an album is pretty big. How is any music jukebox supposed ot know that they're the same....
select all the songs, open apple/control "I" and click on compilations on bottom right.

Cover Flow in Music not working at all, please assist

Hi there, I bought an iPhone 4 yesterday and updated to IOS 5 as soon it was plugged into the computer. I have noticed that when I am in the Music app, when I turn the phone to landscape, it does not switch to Cover Flow. It just stays in portait, no change. Obviously not an ESSENTIAL feature, but one I enjoy very much with my iPod, and one that I know should come with the phone. I image the solution is to revert to IOS 4, but I'd like to avoid that. Any solutions?

Is portrait orientation locked? Double tap home button and slide to the right until you see the last icon on the left. If this is locked, tap it and hopefully cover flow will work.

No Cover Flow during music playback

I'm a newbie using iOS 3.1.3 on a 1st gen iTouch. When playing music in portrait mode, is there a way for me to lock the view in that orientation and stop iOS from switching to Cover Flow which is undesired? Is there a lock/unlock setting somewhere?

There is in ios 4. If you're still using a first gen touch with ios 3 you don't have any option to lock the orientation.

Is any one having cover flow problems?

I got my ipod today and everything is perfect and so was the cover flow. But later on after use the cover flow has a very big delay when changing from landscape to portrait and visa versa. Has any one else had these problems or have a solution??

yes i have a pause before it changes also.i also see a slight blurryness in the album coves

Cover Flow problems w/ New 1.0.2 Software update?

Since I updated my iPod Classic 80G software to the 1.0.2, when i add new albums, it puts them at the end of all my other albums when i view the "cover flow" feature. Is there a way to fix this, or is anyone else having the same problem?

here is how to restore to update 1.0.1 if you are having dificulties with 1.0.2 like i was too.
find the update 1.0.1 in my computer by searching for '' *.ipsw '' next you cut and paste the 2 files with the 1.0.2 in their names from there to the desktop in case you need it later, and then disable the automatcly check for updates and try to restore the ipod software, say no the pop up about would you like to enable updates or whatever and restore it and sync the songs again.
Thanks for everyone's help!

How do i get rid of cover flow in music on my 4s

how do you get rid of cover flow off on the 4s and go back to play list

Cover flow appears when your phone is rotated in landscape position (sideways). Rotate it back to portrait position (upright) to return to the song list.

Problem w/ cover flow view

To begin I'd like to say I'm not new to message boards and even a forum moderator for the company Streetglow. I've searched for hours trying to figure out my cover flow problem and I just can't get it to organize the way I like. I've had a few problems with itunes in the past but a store rep fixed them within minutes. This is my first big problem.
A few days ago I moved my entire library (I only have music files) to my external HD. The move went flawlessly and itunes even deleted itself in my "My Music" folder. Weird but everything was fine and I checked a song's location and saw that the location lead to my external. This is where the problem starts.
Yesterday, I opened itunes and my entire library is empty. It's as if I just installed itunes on my computer.
So, I re-imported all my files again and went to my cover flow view and I have multiple album art covers for each song. But, if I go to the grid view, its exactly how I want it. Artist....Album...in ascending order. But if I switch to cover flow, I have close to 500 album art covers.
Prior to this, every time I imported a CD, I filled out the info entirely. Kept the artist, and album artist the same. Cover flow view was perfect before this incident.
Now, I have to use the grid view because it's the way I'd like but I would like to use the cover flow.
Any ideas?

The albums will only stay grouped together when sort as *Album, Album by Artist* or *Album by Year*. Sort on Track title or Track No. and the order of covers will be pretty random. Sorting as Album by Artist groups all albums by the same alphbetically which tends to work for most people. What cues are your browsing for? Artwork, Album title, Artist, Track Name. You can use the search box to type in part of a track name if you're trying to find something specific. If you're just flicking through for something to take your fancy you might find grid mode more useful.

Music stutters when cover flow is used

I'm using 7.6.1.9, and since the latest "upgrade" I've been unable to use cover flow while music is playing. As soon as I invoke the cover flow mode, the song that's playing stutters a couple of times, stabilizes, and then stutters a bit every few seconds. If I use cover flower (i.e., flip through the covers), the song will fast-forward stutter until I stop.
Any ideas?

itunes appears to be written very differently than most windows software. I've had many, many problems with iTunes being sluggish -particularly when it comes to video refreshing. I have a dual processor machine that is brand new and loaded to the hilt with ram. Every other application works perfectly, but iTunes scrolls song lists as if I'm simultaneously calculating the last digit of pi. I can't say why, but after using iTunes on 5 different PCs, I can say that the performance is not at all in line with the performance of other applications. Personally, I think they should just do a ground-up rewrite and come up with something much smaller and more conforming to windows standards, but until then some stuttering may occur!

IOS 5 Cover Flow really slow on iPhone 4

Hi.
Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, Cover Flow in Music app is terribly slow... Lag to see the covers. I've heard over there that iOS 5 doesn't reduce the size of the covers to a standard, so the iPhone has to resize them everytime you watch them.
And.. When device locked, playing music and you double tap to change the song, the cover also changes with a "long" lag..
Anyone having these problems?

Well, apparently the resizing thing is true.. If your cover is 1000x1000, the iPhone will resize to a lower resolution when it has to show the cover. Imagine doing this for loads of covers in "Cover Flow", the A4 is not that powerful.
Two possibilities, Apple does it on purpose so we buy the "extremely fast" iPhone 4S or it's a bug. Pretty sure about the second one. Everything else runs great with iOS 5. But Music app with Cover Flow and changing songs when locked really *****. Such a pity. Hope they fix this soon.

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.

ITunes and iPod Classic Cover Flow Discrepancies

Hello.
I'm a little impatient and haven't searched through most of the posts to see if this problem has been addressed already. But it's an unusual one (I think).
I got the 160GB iPod and have been able to upload all my music successfully, as well as getting all the cover flow artwork to run smoothly. But now I've been noticing some strange things. When I got a new CD, for example M.I.A.'s 'Kala', I uploaded it onto my iTunes library, and it fell into place nicely next to her other album 'Arular'. But after uploading the new track to my iPod, I can't find 'Kala' next to 'Arular' in cover flow - instead it's way at the end, past the number and symbol titled artists. This was also true for another CD that I recently uploaded, and even more strangely, for some older single tracks that I haven't even listened to yet.
So, basically my iTunes library looks fine in cover flow, but there are a few albums and tracks that aren't in the correct order on my iPod. I've even tried deleting those misplaced albums and tracks from my iPod and then re-uploading them from my iTunes library, but they fall in the same place, at the very very end of the cover flow list.
And, this is just a cover flow problem - in the regular 'Artists' lists, the albums and tracks in question are in their appropriate spot.
Anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks

It looks that the album, in your example "Kala", is marked like a compilation. In the iPod coverflow, the compilations appears at the end.

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
