Cover flow view in finder not displaying proper

Since I updated to Mavericks my cover flow view in the finder is showing the wrong document, usually the document right before or after the one I'm actually clicked on. How do I fix this?

No, there is no preference setting available to change that.
Best.

  • Changing background color in Finder Cover Flow view possible ?

    Hi,
    is there any possibility to change the color of the background in the Cover Flow view of Finder ??
    Thanks for some answers

    If you search for "osx change finder window color" you will find a method (mentioned in the linked topic but not detailed) for doing this in Panther, but it may not work in Tiger. It also requires some pretty basic surgery on the OS files which is inadvisable unless you really don't care if you hose your system. Then there's Shapeshifter mentioned in the link. Again, these kind of things are trying to play with the OS at a basic level and are generally ill advised unless you really don't mind experimenting with your computer and don't care if you have to reinstall all your OS and files at some stage. They can cause unpredictable behavior with upgrades and I would not use them without regular backups.

  • Strange sparkling graphics glitch in finder cover flow view!

    Hi there,
    Recently my finder cover flow view has been displaying what can be described as 'sparkling' effects around the folders/icons when i move from one file to another (sparkling stops when movement of icons does). The sparkling effect can be described as small white dots flashing then disappearing at random points on the black background of the cover flow view. This does not happen all the time and seems to be more prevalent when there different icons next to one another. just wondered if anyone else is having this issue and if anyone can offer me some advise? Thanks.

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

  • 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!

  • Finder crashing when in Cover Flow view

    I installed Leopard a few days ago and have noticed that whenever Finder is on Cover Flow view, it crashes and restarts. This happens at least 50% of the time but only in this view mode. In the other 3 view modes, it is stable.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have noticed that many JPG files do not show preview icons or coverflow views on my system (many do, many don't 50-50?). I tried launching a JPG file and Preview launched, but no file, then Finder crashed (desktop and all) and reloaded. I repeated this several times with different JPG files. Same thing with Quick View (caused a crash).
    The other issue I've had is with the photo screen savers. They play through once then quit, or don't work at all. I can no longer use my picture catalog for a screen saver with Leopard.
    I've just rebuilt my Spotlight index... maybe that will help?

  • 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 View not showing

    On my ITunes, I'm not able to view any album covers on the Cover Flow View. All I get is a black screen with the following white text:
    iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer.
    Any insight as to why this is happening? I did not change any settings on my PC. I was thinking maybe I rejected some program on the firewall, but I don't recall anything specific to iTunes

  • Cover Flow View: Changes in "Information" not updated in Cover Flow

    Hi
    When changing text in "Information" like name of the artist or the album or just using a big letter instead of a small letter it doesn't seem to be updated in Cover Flow View. For example: I changed the name of the album of "The division bell" to "The Division Bell" under Information as usual but in the Cover Flow it still appears as "The division bell".
    Dont' know if this issue has been answered already before, couldn't find it.
    Hope someone can help.
    Thx schmidjo

    Here's the fix - at least for me: I shared the entire library not just the particular songlist, then i selected the songlist in question from the client computer - well below the name of the host
    (shared icon). At that point all options (List, Grid, Cover Flow) were available. In Cover Flow artwork was in synch with the current song - but clicking the forward arrow on screen or on the keyboard usually messed up the synch - better to just let the song advance at its end (done playing). This was true in or out of shuffle. Still pondering this - will post if fix determined.

  • Cover Flow: is it possible not to display albums without artwork?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if there is a way in cover flow view not to display albums (album names) that do not have art work.
    Thanks,
    D.

    Not as far as I know.
    But I expect you know you can get artwork from other sources if the iTunes store doesn't have it. I tend to copy and paste from Amazon.

  • 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.

  • Album View and Cover Flow View are not available in iTunes 7

    Hi,
    When I connect my iPod, in the iTunes 7, the options for Album view and Cover Flow View are disabled for the song list on my iPod. I only have a list view for them. However, at the same time, the songs on the library can be viewed in any of the three (3) views.
    What might be the possible reason and is there any options to view your iPod songs in Cover Flow View in iTunes (while it is connected)?
    Please solve this query of mine.

    It just simply not a feature. You might think about requesting it here:

  • Cover Flow View - NOT working

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the cover flow view on iTunes. I don't know when this when happened but it was there before I updated to iTunes 10.
    This is how it looks:
    http://www.kwisvragen.com/itunesproblem/coverflowitunes.tiff
    It's only under Music, if I go to any of my playlist cover flow is working.
    So, does anyone know what is going on and how can I make the cover flow work again?
    THANKS!
    Thanks!

    For me this worked:
    1) I exported my Library: File -> Library -> Export Library
    Saved the .xml file on my desktop.
    2) Closed iTunes.
    3) I went to /Users/your user/Music/iTunes and deleted the following files:
    iTunes Library
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    4) Reopened iTunes.
    File -> Library -> Import Playlist -> Navigated to my desktop and selected the .xml file from step 1.
    5) Waited few minutes (Depends on the library size, I guess. Mine is huge.)
