Covers Not Appearing on Cover Flow

I spend about 5 hours tracking down covers of each of my albums, and now only about %50 appear on my Ipod coverflow. Why are some there but others are missing? It has nothing to do with the image type (they all came from the same place). What a let down.

Mine was doing the same thing. I had to add the art work to each song. Luckly you can do this as a group. Select all the songs in that album (either {CTRL}+A or the select {SHFT} method), right click, Get Info, now add the album art and it should show.

  • Album covers not all appearing in Cover Flow

    I have a new iPhone 5, (IOS 6.0.1) and I restored all of my apps from a backup of my iPhone 4 (IOS 6.0.1).  I notice that my album covers do not all appear in Cover Flow mode.  I checked my iPhone 4, before resetting it, and it had the same problem.  I deleted the music from my iPhone 5 and restored all of the playlists from my MacPro and still have the problem. I cannot detect and differences between those that appear and those that do not appear.  Any ideas?
    And btw, I manually installed he Album Art on each Album, I did not use iTunes to search for Album Art.

    Does this article help?

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • 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.

  • Album Covers Not Appearing

    Some of the albums I have loaded on my iPhone are not displaying the cover art...they are black. Any ideas on how to resolve? Thanks.

    did you have them before?
    if so, a restore will bring them back or you can enter them manually if you want.
    go on the internet to get the album covers that apple doesn't recognize for certain songs not bought on itunes. you will need to find the album covers in question(on the web) and save them on your hard drive.
    Go into itunes, go to your music, select the song you want to add the album cover toand right click it, go to get info, from there you can select artwork and add it.

  • Cover flow, covers gone

    hi
    i managed to find more then 5000 cover for my music, i always search them with coverscout
    today when i opened itunes, nearly all my covers where gone!
    the map with the covers is still there, is there a way to get them back in place?

    Not....NOT happy the cover flow is gone. 
    It was widely announced when iTunes 11 was released that CoverFlow was removed.  It will not be coming back.  Per Apple, there simply were not enough people using it.

  • 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.

  • Cover Flow is not showing up in Finder

    Hi, I am pretty new to Apple MacPro. Just got my machine with Leopard.
    When I open Finder, I do not see the cover flow icon, there's only 3 icons, no cover flow.
    Anybody can help?

    Becky, at the top of your screen where you see the drop down menus, select Finder>Preferences
    From inside Preferences Go to General and make sure External disks is selected, like this
    Then in the same Finder>preferences select Sidebar, and Under devices make sure external disks are selected again. like this:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cover flow on IPod Classic is out of order

    The cover flow on my Classic is out of order, not alphabetical by artirst. Most of the albums are in order, but there is about a dozen that are after "Z" (for example Cream. Should be in the C section, where it is in ITunes. Any ideas?

    Never hurts to reset the device just in case that helps.
    Confirm that the Sort Artist fields for the affected tracks are actually empty instead of containing one or more invisible spaces. Note that iTunes groups on Album Artist (order amended by Sort Album Artist) whereas the iPod Classic groups on Artist (order amended by Sort Artist).
    See the section Missing or Artist or Album not with others by same artist which explains that enabling one or both of Settings > Main Menu > Compilations or Settings > Music Menu > Compilations can affect where tracks appear in cover flow.
    The iTunes Store tends to mark albums that include any featured artists, or form an anthology of an artist's work, as part of a compilation to mitigate some of iTunes historically poor track grouping issues. Depending on your preferences within iTunes this flag may not have any noticable effect in iTunes, but may control what happens on the device.
    Even though you can't see where the problem lies it may help to amend the track details in the way I describe at Tried that, there are STILL too many covers and then resync the device.

  • Cover flow (cover browser) problems

    I posted this yesterday, but rarely is a topic adressed on the discussion board. I haven't seen this problem addressed.
    Does anyone know why my artwork is appearing in artwork/video viewer but not in the cover flow. I have a screenshot of what I'm talking about.
    It's not for all albums, just random ones that don't work. Do the tag versions matter much for this?

    even though you're not getting an error message with this, perhaps let's check through the suggestions from the following troubleshooting document:

  • How to get rid of movie and tv cover flow

    I would like to know if there is any way that I can get rid of the itunes store movie and tv show covers that come up when I turn on my apple TV.
    I do not mind the cover flow from my own content, but I have a lot of small children who do not need to be seeing the R rated images on many of the store movie and tv show options.  It is terribly inconvient to ask my little ones to leave the room so that I can search for and load an age apportiate show for them.
    I highly recommend addressing this if it has not come up before.  Consider allowing owner chosen artwork or just a keep it blank.  Maybe put the option under parental controls.
    Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks,
    Nick

    No it's not possible and we've had a few discussions about this in the past - minors can browse/see cover art that can be innappropriate even if they cannot rent/purchase.
    If you mainly have your own content you could disable the iTunes store or maybe see if you can configure your router to allow it LAN connectivity only.
    Disabling iTunes store however still allows access to Movie trailers.

  • Enable artist overview, cover flow on ipod AND artist column in iTunes...

    Greetingz
    Here's the problem:
    I want to enable the artist column in iTunes for all my music.
    I can already do this with genres and albums, and its so convenient.
    However the artist column is showing only "collections" instead of -+for example Abba, Aerosmith, ACDC, ..+-
    This is because I have put everything on Complication "Yes"
    and on my ipod classic complication in the music menu is 'clicked' off. Why? so the ipod doesn't show all covers separately in the cover flow. its all good on the ipod; I can also get a list of all artists and genres. But in iTunes the artist column only gives one category and thats "complications" not like abba aerosmith acdc you name it. How can I get this right for both the ipod (remember also the cover flow as well as the artists must work correctly) AND iTunes? I find this very complicated and one of the only things I am unable to figer out.
    Many many thanks to all who help!

    "Compilation" means that the album is one of those Time-Life type "Disco Hits" or "50's Greats" CDs that aren't by one artist. I would suggest either turning off compilations for everything or going through each song and filling in the "Album Artist" field.

  • Mavericks Cover flow in Finder gets lost

    This is a repost from "Lion" category. Fits better here.
    "have upgraded to Mavericks, and I am having trouble with Coverflow in the Finder. When I delete files it gets lost, showing previews of files that are not the ones that are highlighted. The spacebar preview seems to work, showing me the actual contents, but the coverflow view is for a different file. Also, if there is a long list of files in the folder, it cannot display the files further down the list.
    I was in the middle of a large project, going through thousands of photos in finder, when I upgraded. I had the perfect workflow, using coverflow, and it worked flawlessly in Lion. It seems this got boken in the update."
    -crazyBrit
    I'm having the same problem. If I navigated away from a folder it was happening with for a while, the ghost perviews in the coverflow would disappear, but it would still happen if I tried to move or delete a file.

    Several of my applications (adobe acrobat, CAD) often crash (and need to be Forsed Quit) when I try to open a file using Cover Flow.  AutoCAD release the following advisory:
    AutoCAD crashes or file navigation dialog boxes close unexpectedly in Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
    Issue
    AutoCAD crashes or the open dialog boxes close unexpectedly while using Open or other file navigation dialogs in AutoCAD on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks).
    Solution
    This happens when you use Cover Flow view mode in a dialog box and navigate across folders. This issue will need to be corrected by Apple in a future Mavericks update.
    To work around this issue, do not use the Cover Flow view mode in file navigation dialog boxes such as Open, New, Save, External Reference attach, PDF attach, Image attach, Import, Export, etc.
    This is particularly annoying when trying to select a particular graphic file to work on.  I wind up opening a finder window in Cover Flow to find the particular graphic I want to open and then looking for the file name in List View in the Open diaglog box.
