Has Cover Flow disappeared?

I just upgraded to the latest iTunes version 11.0 and am disappointed to not see Cover Flow available.   Would love to have it back.  Is there any way to activate the feature in the update?

So Cover Flow no longer appears as an option under the Music category on your iPod Classic?

  • Help! Ipod won't shuffle songs, the song cover flow disappeared!!

    Anyone, please help me. I am new to Ipod. I have 8 GB Ipod Nano, bought two weeks ago. I recently purchased more songs and currently have 50 songs on my play list on my computer. So last night after I bought the songs and transfered and sync all those songs, my Ipod worked fine (I could listen to all the songs, shuffle the songs, see all the cover flow, etc). This morning, after I fed my kids, I grabbed my Ipod and started listening to my songs and it worked fine - nothings wrong, until in the middle of playing one song, all of the sudden the song stopped playing. I thought the battery had died, but when I checked, the battery was still half full. So I went back to the menu button and tried to shuffle my songs but it didn't do anything/didn't play the song. My Ipod just showed that I have 50 songs on my shuffle songs. Then I checked the song cover flow, and it showed NO pictures of the song album (before this happened, when I check the cover flow my Ipod show the pictures of music/CD albums of a singer, but now it just blank!!). I already restart the computer, unplug the USB cable, restart my Ipod, re-sync my Ipod and still it doesn't work. I can't shuffle the songs, Ipod won't play the songs (though it shows that I have 50 songs on playlist), the song cover flow disappeared! I don't know what to do. Please help!! Thank you.

    Ok so do the songs play and show up ok in iTunes? Were you playing the iPod through a set of speakers and not connected to the computer?
    Have you tried performing a reset on the iPod yet? Or a restore on the iPod yet?

  • Cover Flow Disappearing Act

    I am using iTunes 10 for OSX 10.6.4. I have experiencing this since using some version of iTunes 9, I can't remember when it started. Cover Flow does not show up when I am in the main window of iTunes and viewing all music. If I switch to cover flow view, the song list simply starts to occupy the upper control bar (I wish I could post a screen cap, but thanks to Apple's posting board, that isn't possible). Its quite strange. The list is simply extended upward to the top of the window, obscuring any other controls above, though it is separated by a thicker line between where you would expect the list to begin. What's truly strange is that if I am not in the "all music" view and I am looking at a playlist, cover flow works fine. Its only in all music where it goes wrong.
    What I am asking the experts who are reading this is whether I can just delete a Library settings file to reset all of iTunes view settings to fix this? I am desperate to fix this as seeing this list "upwardness" is frustrating me to no end. If anyone needs to actually have a picture of what I'm talking about I can e-mail it to you or whatever.
    Thanks to all who take a look.

    HI John,
    Keep in mind you only need to repair permissions after any software updates or upgrades.
    As for cover flow, try Safari Maintenance

  • Why has Cover Flow gone from 11??

    They say Apple found users didnt find it useful???? Well they didnt ask me because i did.. visually!!
    Whoever thought it was a good idea needs to find a new job!!!

    UNBELIEVABLE - I am shocked to hear coverflow has been removed.  I use coverflow all the time, on all of my apple devices (exc iPod Classic as Apple never rectified the issue to display via album/artist).  Its the closest we get today to holding an album (CD/Vinyl).
    I can only hope that Apple can see this as a genuine mistake and give us back coverflow, PLEASE!!!! 

  • Cover Flow has disappeared!

    hi everyone.
    ok,
    So i couldn't run Sharepod with my ipod, so i deleted the 'ArtworkDB' file from my ipod directory (big mistake not backing that file up like usually would)
    NOW ALL THE ARTWORK ON MY IPOD HAS VANISHED!
    over 400 hundred albums GONE!!!!!!!!!!
    the only raye of hope i have left is that, the artwork is still displayed on itunes. every album cover is STILL there, intact and being desplayed beautifully!
    now.PLEASE tell me that there is a way i can somehow....RE-CREATE the ArtworkDB file from itunes? pleeeeeeeeeaaaaasssse
    i couldn't possibley do it manually...it would take forever...and the prospect of it is just...soul-destroyingly painful.
    so please...anyone...
    thanks for reading this

  • Custom Icons Disappear in Cover Flow Above Certain Size

    I've been trying to create custom icons for certain folders and I've been having no luck when viewing them in cover flow.
    I've downloaded a PNG file, 512x512 pixels. Open it in Preview, copy to the clipboard, do a 'get info' on the folder I wish to change the icon of, click the little icon, hit paste, and it appears correctly in the preview and in the finder Icons view, as well as on my desktop or whatever. However, if I turn on cover flow and drag the size of cover flow to larger than a certain point, the custom image disappears and all I get is a blank spot. It's as if the 256 pixel icon is being created but the 512 pixel image is being left blank.
    I do not know if this happened in 10.5.1, as I hadn't tried until after installing the 10.5.2 combo update.
    In the following picture, you can see 1: bottom right, a preview of the png file itself as it appears, correctly, in cover flow, 2: top right, the icon working correctly on the desktop and in the get info window, and 3: left: the cover flow view of the computer showing a bit gaping void where the custom icon should reside.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    This does NOT happen if I use an existing, working icon (say, put the Applications folder's icon onto my hard drive.) It seems to be an issue with custom icons only, not just changing the icon for something.

  • Album Cover Flow has stopped working on my MacAir

    Hi,
    My preferred Screen Saver is I-tunes Album Cover flow which has been working fine. Last week it stopped working with an error message there is no art work in I-tunes, however there is. How do I get it tto start working again?
    Regards
    Virgil

  • Bug:  My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.

    My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.
    I can even click on the erroneous item in cover flow, but it doesn't atually exist.
    Mavericks, everything is updated.
    Sure, rebooting or restarting Finder might fix it, but this yet another bug with Finder I have found.

    Hello,
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
    Did you get any of the Install Discs with the Macs?
    On the one with no Utilities, might try reapplying the big combo update...
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

  • Album Art Temporarily Disappears in Cover Flow

    I noticed today that while rapidly flicking in cover flow the album art would suddenly disappear for large clusters of songs, replaced by the song note. Then, at some point, for reasons I couldn't figure out, the album covers would reappear (hitting home button and going back may have worked). My software is up to date. First time I've ever seen this happen. Anyone else noticed this? I did a quick search and didn't find anything. Thanks for any responses.

    I've got about 300 mb left since I updated to 1.3.1 (that update inexplicably seemed to take up a lot more memory than any prior update). I also noticed last night that if I flick it really fast, it will pop back to the home screen. This is one of several instances of instability I have noted since I updated, although generally things have worked well. I'm tempted to go for the 16 gig and just start over with a new phone, particularly since I'm about out of memory.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Safari has added this stupid feature to bookmarks called cover flow and it covers up my list of bookmarks so I cannot edit/rearrange them.  How do I get rid of the black, useless space in bookmarks, bring back bookmarks manager?

    How do I get rid of this annoying feature in Safari known as cover flow which appears as a balck void in bookmarks?  the bookmarks manager is nowhere to be found and now I'm going to Google instead of Safari.

    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the black area.
    Mouse pointer should turn into a hand pointer.
    Double click.
    The Cover Flow  should shrink into small black strip at the top.
    To revert back, move the mouse pointer to the black strip at the top.
    When the pointer turns into a hand pointer, double click.

  • "Cover Flow" Art for "Music" Tabb disappear for Macbook Itunes

    WhenEver I Click On THe "MUSIC" tabb from the ITunes List and then click on the "CoverFlow" Button, To see the Album Art
    Nothing appears And its just a see through with the album list and names.

    I've tryed Using The Menu Bar and clicked on View, but it only works on "Recently Played" "Recently Added" and "Playlists" only
    is when Im given the option of seeing my cover flow. But Not For All Of My Music
    Can someone please help me.
    Please And Thank You

    piece of cake mate best way is to go over it
    find the album cover on google images save them some where(in your case find all 8 different album covers)
    go in to itunes and right click the track click "get info" and add the album art in the art section.
    click ok and it should write that image in to the song so when you sync over to your iphone/ipod it will appear insted of that annoying default symbol..
    (small info clip: if theres an entire album and you right click there wont be a artwork tab so just drag over the image you want as album cover over to itunes while you have the GET INFO screen up :))
    recap
    "GOOGLE" images
    save them
    open itunes
    find track and right click it
    get info
    add album art in the appropriate section
    click ok and boom done

  • Cover Flow has just stopped working...

    Cover flow was working fine the other day and now, when I try to switch to the view or to another playlist the whole screen gets garbled and freezes up.
    I have reinstalled iTunes, but nothing... I did turn off some unused fonts a few days ago (non english only), could that be involved?

    Managed to sort it, after many attempts at clearing caches, plists etc,,
    All it needed was a restart in safe mode. Start mail, shut down and restart and all fixed.

  • A particular album has no art in cover flow

    I was adding cover art to my Touch for my non-iTunes music with iArt last night. For some reason, the cover art for "Who We Are" by Lifehouse won't appear in Cover Flow, but it does show everywhere else (song listing, as wallpaper while playing, etc.) All the other art I added works fine. I downloaded the art from Google images and adding the art manually, but this still didn't work. Any ideas?

    Search the forums for the answers. It's been asked and answered.
    Several ways:
    1) Dump all music (when iPod is connected, under the "Music" tab, deselect "Sync Music", then click "Apply"). When it's dumped, resync.
    2) Restore the iPod completely.
    3) Remove the song from the library, and re-import it.

  • Cover Flow images don't fill Finder window?

    Hi everyone,
    I like to use Finder in Cover Flow mode to browse through images. However, if I expand Finder to fill the whole screen, and I expand the Cover Flow pane to take up most of the screen, the Cover Flow images don't expand to fill up the Cover Flow pane. I have the High Res screen, so maybe it looks normal on a lower res screen but I think it's odd that Cover Flow doesn't try to expand the images to fil the space. Is this behaviour normal and is there a way to change it?
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Solved the problem myself. I retyped the name of each folder (same name) under Pictures and added a space plus #1 after each folder name. Images appeared almost immediately on the content pane after that was done. Later I will then open up on my hard drive, under Cover Flow, two windows....one from the Pictures Folder and the other one from the Window Documents that contain the images transferred from an old hard drive. I will then select the images I want to keep and drag and drop the images from the Window Documents to the sub-folders in Pictures and that should do it. Attempting to do it from within Bridge will cause the images in Pictures to disappear so this other way is safer. Then I will trash my Window Document folder when I'm done. If anyone has experience this problem this might be a way to see if my solution might work for you. (I formerly had a window system and now have a iMac).

  • 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.
