How to Ditch View/Cover Flow

I do not recall ever checking the option for Finder/View/Cover Flow and it will not
uncheck. I really dislike this "feature" of the Finder. Can someone tell me how to
get rid of the Cover Flow?

Found it and tried to discard the posting but I was too late

  • 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.

  • View –Cover Flow View-Grey scale images

    View –Cover Flow View-Grey scale images
    Hi. No problems when I view my album covers in either [List View] or [Album View]. When I use [Cover Flow View] I get distorted lines, less than even a blurred image, in fact grey scale. Seems strange that iTunes can display in [List View] or [Album View], but not in [Cover Flow View]. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I don't know the answer to this so a couple of suggestions, are you on the latest version of iTunes that is compatible with Windows 2000?
    If not you can download it here:

    Are you upto date with your DirectX for Windows 2000? Although looking at the MS website it doesn't look as though there is anything particularly new:

    Also check your computer manufacturer's support website to make sure you are upto date with your drivers etc.

  • How do I stop cover flow from rotating????

    How do I stop cover flow from rotating, I have switched it off but it still rotates.
    Phil

    Any idea why that is?
    Probably because it is a visually oriented feature that requires the full width of the screen to show the prior & next albums in the right/left "flow" at a useful resolution on the small screen. I suppose it could be reworked for a top/bottom flow but that would require something other than the rotation of the Nano itself to invoke. Apple's engineers probably thought that would be a needless complication.

  • Viewing cover flow through ipod playing on itunes

    I have too much music and don't keep it all on the computer hard drive. Can I plug ipod into itunes and view Cover Flow of the ipod contents while its playing? Cover Flow works great with the files that are in itunes Library, just not through the ipod>computer>itunes.

  • How do I correct cover flow...

    I'm not sure how it happened but cover flow shows the album cover for Miles Davis the same as the following Cyndi Lauper album and I don't know how to change it.
    What do I need to do ?

    Never mind.
    Finally spotted the delete button and got it right.

  • Can't view cover flow

    Message appears "itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". Itunes did show album covers on the computer before. The directx was updated, but directdraw or accelorater is not available to enable?". Is there away to check and fix video drivers? Would appreciate any help.
    Jen_123xc

    I am having the same problems. I just recently got my laptop working again and it doesn't want to do the cover flow when it did before. My PC with XP doesn't want to do cover flow either.
    I saw on another post of updating the DirectX drivers which I did and when I run the diagnostics it shows there are no probs but I can't seem to enable the 3D and Draw. Or, else I'm not sure how to enable them. I've also updated my Flash. HELP! I really like viewing by cover flow so would like to get it working again.

  • How doI automatically generate cover flow pic for my radio feed?

  • How can I get cover flow to work on a fifth generation Ipod classic

    I have a fifth generation Ipod. Is there any way I can get cover flow or something similar? When I'm browsing through my music, I want to be able to see the album cover, rather than just the album title.
    Thank youl

    Not possible.

  • How do I view cover in iBooks?

    I made an eYearbook. When I open it in iBooks it looks great but it does not allow me to view the cover of the book like it does the other pages. How do I do that? (We have a really cool yearbook cover and kids want to see it on thier device). I can always edit with book creator but that is not preferable.

    Two ways that I know of - and you have to tap on the open book in order to see theses buttons in the upper left corner .....
    Tap the library button in the upper left corner to put the closed book back on the bookshelf.
    Or, tap the three horizontal line next to the Library button in the upper left corner to show the cover on the left side of the book.

  • Album Art - Not showing all in Album View or Cover Flow

    Recently I redid my Itunes Libary where with one artist with songs from several different albums, (and album artwork), renamed the album under Get Info to "Greatest Hits". Now, the specific album art for each song shows when the song is playing, but under Album View/Cover Flow only one Album Art shows for each artist. Assume this had something to do with my renaming multiple songs for the artist to Greatest Hits. Is there any way to get back the specific Album Art for each song under Album View/Cover Flow? Thanks.

    If you are only adding it to one song, that won't work. Itunes itself does this for artwork that it finds automatically, but if you want to add them yourself you have to add the artwork to every track. Find the track that you added the artwork to copy the artwork using command - C , then select all of the tracks at the same time in itunes, do a get info and paste the artwork into the artwork window of the tagging window.

  • Cover flow lion finder window

    Horrible horrible horrible feature of Lion: 
    iPhoto is occupied iwth a large upload of images to flickr.
    I want to review some more of the images I shot today in thumbnail to
    open and start working on them in photoshop without waiting for iPhoto
    to finish (this is reason #6099 why I do not let iPhoto control the
    location of my photos on the drive, so I can access them without
    opening their specific iPhoto library).
    I open the enclosing folder for the images, click to view by icon,
    enlarge the icons, then click to sort the photos by date, and....COVER
    FLOW!  they've Cover-Flow-ized the icon view when you do any kind of
    sort except by name. 
    I cannot say how much I hate cover flow--nausea-inducing for the
    motion sickness prone, nasty vile scheme in general--and now, it's
    dropped the images I can see in one glance at the screen in this icon
    by date view of the finder window to ONE, and I can't turn it off.  I
    do NOT have coverflow checked in view options.
    Is there any way to kill coverflow completely in every place they've
    put it?
    (Feedback already sent to apple, BTW, if you have this problem too, and there's no solution offered by one of the bright folks on this board, please send them some at apple.com/feedback--the place to put feedback for programs like finder that don't have a 'send feedback' menu item))

    Support call gave the solution:  instead of 'Arrange by', use the 'clean up by' command under the view menu in Finder.  This does what arrange by used to, and while the menu options are more limited than 'arrange by', it doesn't default to the cover-flow behavior that is so irritating.
    If you hate cover flow like I do, please send them feedback.  If enough of us complain about it, maybe they'll stop putting it all over the place.

  • How can I view Artwork on iTunes for 1 or 3 songs per Album?

    So, I am on my iTunes. On the previous Version of iTunes, you can have the list of Albums and view at the same time the Artwork whether it was for 10, 20 songs or even just 1 song. With the new version, there are four icons on the Upper Right where you can view "Cover Flow", "Album Covers", "Detailed List", "Detail List with Album Artwork"...
    When I click on the "Detail List with Album Artwork" and I want to view the Artwork for those albums that I only have 1, 3, or just 5 songs, I cannot view the Artwork. I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    How can I view the Artwork at the same time as with those that I am able to?

    I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    iTunes menu View > Aways show artwork.
    iTunes defaults to show artwork for albums with 5 or more songs.
