Cover Flow won't work in iPod view

When I'm viewing the contents of my iPod within iTunes, I can't use Cover Flow - or Browse by List for that matter. The three icons are greyed out. Is this a bug? While my library is a mishmash, my iPod is organized with full albums, so that's where Cover Flow would benefit me most. I'm really bummed out. Can anyone help?

i'm having the same problem, and its really the only thing that really bums me out about the new itunes

  • Cover Flow won't work on Windows XP Computer

    I have a Windows XP computer (Wanting to get a Mac as soon as I can buy one) and when I was on iTunes I have been trying to use the cover flow option, and it keeps saying "Cover Flow will not work on this computer" and I was wondering if there was anything I could use to fix that?

    Try unistalling then reinstalling.

  • Cover Flow Won't Work!!

    After updating to the new version 7 iTunes, I am not able to use the cover flow function on one of my two computers. The Mesage "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer" comes up. My computer meets all the requirements for processing and I am able to view my album artwork and movies in everyother window. Also whenever I attempt to view the movie store iTunes closes itself. Please Help!!!!

    you mentioned before you used Norton. was that Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, and you're currently getting

    try the "Lorraine" technique:

  • My cover flow does not work on my 3rd gen 64 gb ipod touch

    My cover flow does not work on my 3rd gen 64 gb ipod touch and neither does shake to shuffle.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Cover Flow Won't Flip

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a 32GB iPod Touch as an upgrade to my previous one of 16GB. On my first iPod, whenever I was in Cover Flow, I could flip the iPod 180 degrees, and the whole Cover Flow would flip over.
    With my new iPod, this will usually work, but not when I am viewing Cover Flow directly from the "Now Playing" screen. This means that, once in Cover Flow, I will flip the iPod over, and Cover Flow will be upside-down, without rotating.
    My iPod is updated with all the latest firmware/software. Any ideas?
    I also tried restoring the iPod, but this did not help.

    same problem here!
    have a touch 1G without problems
    with my new touch 2G 16gb sometimes/often cover flow doesnt work...games or something else also didnt work. I cant play Spore for example.
    I "flip" the touch...but nothing happens...the screen doesnt flip
    i restore my touch several times, sometimes it works when i restart the iPod...but only sometimes
    and sorry for my bad english! I´m German

  • Cover Flow won't go full screen anymore

    I just installed Windows 7 last week and Cover Flow was going full screen, and a week later I just get two arrows, and not the 4 arrows in each corner, and Cover Flow won't go full screen.
    Any ideas?

    I obviously had tried this a few times before, but I decided to try a regular restart for a 5th time and it magically started working.
    Sorry!

  • Cover Flow Won't Display Ampersands

    Ampersands (&) are displayed fine everywhere else on the iPod and even on the iTunes Cover Flow, but not on my iPod's Cover Flow. Other symbols, such as colons, plus signs, parentheses, periods, commas, etc. display fine, however. Also, the ampersands displayed just fine until a few days ago, and I'm not sure what happened.
    I tried the 5 Rs, deleting the problem songs from the iPod, changning the name of the album(s), pretty much everything I could think of. Any ideas?

    PS--too late to edit, but one thing to try, to make sure Coverflow isn't having some sort of major problem, is go to to a web site that has jpegs. Make yourself a folder on the Desktop, call it WebJPEGs, then click on a jpeg in the browser window, continue to hold the mouse button down, pause for just a second, and then, still holding the mouse button down, drag the jpeg out of the browser window and drop it (release the mouse button) when you are over the folder you created. Add several jpegs to the folder this way, then open the folder and put it in Coverflow. Does Coverflow draw the custom icons?
    Just in case you can't think of a web site you know has jpegs, you can use this page:

    All the pix are in jpeg format, and were created in Photoshop Elements on the Mac.

  • Cover Flow Won't Let Me Work Out!

    So I have the 4th gen Nano, and when the cases come out that allow me to clip it to my belt, I won't be able to have it horizontally because cover flow will kick in. This is a problem! Apple, fix this please! If I orientate the Nano vertically, I can't read the track names, etc. Help me!

  • Cover Flow doesn't work

    My computer crashed and I had to restore all my music from my back up discs. Before my computer crashed, I was able to view my albums on Cover Flow, now I cannot. I get a message that says "unable to view cover flow on this computer."
    How can I get cover flow to work??? Help!

    It's not exactly the message you are getting but have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: iTunes 7 for Windows is unable to display album covers in Cover Flow

  • DirectX Cover Flow - song list like in iPod player

    Is there a possibility to view the song list of an album within Windows iTunes' cover flow animation? Just like it is possible with the iPod player when "touching" the album itself or the 'i' at the bottom right. So that it looks just like this:

  • Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

    Hello,
    For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
    I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
    I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
    BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
    Any idea?

    A reboot solved the problem.
    I guess this is the workaround for now...

  • Cover Flow doesn't work in 7115?

    I just upgraded iTunes to 7.1.1.5 today, and when I ask it to display in cover flow mode, I get an onscreen message saying that "iTunes cannot browse album covers on this computer." This is odd, because it did so without any complaint before this upgrade. Has anyone got a clue what's going on? Has some Vista-targeted upgrade set a new arbitrary benchmark on what system specifications will support this feature?

    Sure enough, it was the absence of enabled directdraw. It's funny; I assume that I know more about computers than my brother, who's a PC gamer, but he would never have a box running without having his video setup tuned to perfection. I just work on my machine, so I hadn't noticed. Thanks again.

  • Ever since iTunes 10.2.1 the cover flow doesn't work

    Whenever I switch to view cover flow it just removes the whole top section where the Play, FF, Volume buttons etc are...the cover flow doesn't even show up. Which is pretty lame because the -only- reason I am using iTunes is because of the cover-flow. If I wanted to see my album artwork stacked vertically I'd just use WMP instead of apple's insanely awkward interface.
    Any tips on what I can do here? I thought 10.2.2 would fix this but alas :-(

    Malware can cause digital signing issues, I would run a malware check with the free version of MalwareBytes:
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    After that, the is a Microsoft fixit for:
    The software you are installing  has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows   XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)
    This software will not be  installed. Contact your system administrator.

    It might be worth trying it.

  • Cover Flow doesn't work fine.

    After I downloaded video podcasts (Best of youtube) I can't see my albums in Cover Flow. I see my videos! Only when I select an album, the correct picture appears. I also tried to Restore my iPod and after restore, when I downloaded again the podcast, the same error appeared. Furthermore, I tried resetting my iPod and restaring it, but it was useless. Note that this is my first iPod ever and I have it only for 3 days. I am really annoyed! Please help me!

    Thanks for the reply. Glad to know it's not just me.
    Do you know if it's planned to be fixed in the near future or if it's way down the priority list?
    thanks
