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!!!!

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.

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

    try the "Lorraine" technique:

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • 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 view wont work

    I had the same problem. Video worked fine until a couple of weeks ago, then I was unable to play any video in the cover flow window. I tried updating everything (itunes, Quicktime, DirectX) with no luck. Then I turned off DirectDraw acceleration and everything works fine. To do this in Windows, click start/run/then type in dxdiag. Go to the Display tab and click disable next to direct draw acceleration. Worked for me - good luck!

  • 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 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.)

  • 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.

  • 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 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

  • Cover flow no longer works

    i've been using itunes for at least 5 years; never had a problem or issue come up.. but that all changed yesterday night, Cover Flow stopped working completely!
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, checked display settings and even reinstalled display drivers...but still nothing.
    i know people are also affected by this bug, but still no solution, come on!
    anybody know how to fix this? or any clue to what causes this to happen?

    Not even clicking on those 2 odd gray lines under the black oval bar?
    I dunno, seems like maybe you resized it by mistake yesterday? I'd be desperate to get it back to normal and start clicking on things wildly, if it was my PC....sorry to not be any better help!
    edit- or even change your monitor's display resolution?

  • Cover flow option not working on my computer.

    i downloaded & installed the new itunes 7.1 but it's telling me that it can not use the cover flow option with my computer. i click that option and instead of the album artwork i get "itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer." is there anyway to make it so that it will work? i have windows xp.

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.
