I tunes cover flow

Whats wrong with my cover flow. All the art work after up date , goes complrtly wrong , Most of the songs com under differebt art work. WHY?
I keep changing, But the still swap!

"Cover Flow" unlike other views, uses a basicly fancy 3D View of your album art, therefore it requires the latest DirectX from Microsoft, and usually some update to the VIdeo cards drivers/software. So,,,,
1) Goto Microsoft.com and update or reinstall the latest DirectX (I think the latest is version 9.0C)
2) Goto the PC makers site, look for updates to your model (Usually under help and support on most sites like HP.com and Dell.com) put in your model and see if theres some update for the Video card/driver/software

The same album appears more than once in cover flow

*1st question:* I just got my i-pod and i-tunes pulled album artwork automatically for the songs i put in i-tunes (not all of them of course), but when i view them on my i-pod using cover flow it will have the same album cover 2 or 3 times side by side. How do i get the cover flow option to only show one album? Why is it doing this - doubling up on an album with the same songs? Do i have to rename the album within the properties of the mp3 files to make them all the same?
*2nd question:* Can i assign a mp3 file or song to a specific album within i-tunes? If i have a song that i don't know the album name of or if i don't care and just want it with other songs for an artist can i add that song to an album that is already established within i-tunes and has album artwork? I also want to use this to get rid of the grey boxes for songs that i-tunes could not find album art for - i just want to put all of these random songs into one album. Can i do this somehow?

Can i assign a mp3 file or song to a specific album within i-tunes?
Right click - get info and type in an album name.
If i have a song that i don't know the album name
I'd give it an album name of Unknown Album
I also want to use this to get rid of the grey boxes for songs that i-tunes could not find album art for - i just want to put all of these random songs into one album. Can i do this somehow?
Select all the songs, right click - get info.
Give them an album name (such as Unknown Album) and paste in a picture of your choosing.

Cover flow doesn't much with cover flow in iTunes

My cover flow on the iPod is not 100% replica of the iTunes. For example in I tunes last cover is the last letter in the alphabet. On my iPod classic there are many cd showing after that point. Another example in Itunes I am showing 4 Rod Stewart CDs in Ipod are showing 3 of them the other somewhere at the end of the carousel.
I erased the ipod and started from fresh... the same thing.
Does anyone have a solution or this is iPod bug?

In iTunes you can change the order of the cover flow by ordering on different columns and can choose whether to group compilations. On the iPod the order is always the equivalent of Albums by Artist with compilations grouped at the end. The iPod also appears to give the artist field priority over album artist which can cause problems with albums that have featured artists. If your album artist has more than one album, with some tracks that feature guest artists, you may get repeated covers. This can be fixed by setting the sort artist field to the value of the album artist for each track with a guest artist. Another problem is that each album requires a unique title to avoid clashing with other titles of the same name. If you have a number of albums called "Greatest Hits" for example, when you select one of these to play it you will find the tracks from every Greatest Hits album are listed. This can be fixed by renaming albums along the lines of <Artist>, <Album>.

Cover flow question - please help!

Hi ... something is annoying me about viewing album art in the 'cover flow' ....
I have my sort to "albums" and I have one album by Kenny Wayne Shepherd that has guest artists on each track. The album appears as 10 separate tracks within cover flow (ie i see the picture 10 times and have to scroll 10 times to get to the REAL next album). I'm sure there's a way to fix this, and it probably has something to do with the compilation setting I'm guessing, but I can't figure it out. Help anyone? Thanks!

i got these songs from my CD and transfered them to my Ipod before putting the album work with the song, the next day when i was free i put all the album art with the songs but when i play my songs the album art doesn't show up but when i open i-tunes it appears. anyway to fix this?
also this might sound stupid:
I have a ipod video- if i delete a song/file from my ipod will the space be restored on my ipod or will it still be considered "used space?"
thanks!

Cover Flow album art and scroll buttons scrambled (7.5)

Hello, Everything has been fine with my i tunes but i opened it the other day and the cover flow view is playing up. All the album covers/podcast displays etc are just scrambled (a series of horizontal coloured lines like a faulty TV.)
the scroll bar and the show full screen buttons are also shown scrambled. if you play a song the album art shows in the left corner fine but the flow art is still scrambled. any ideas anyone? i have tried lots of restarts but it is no better. the only thing i have done is windows update which did some .net updates. regards john

They are all still there!
7.3 is broken.
I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

Artwork in Cover flow not matching artwork in tab?

Ok, example - I’ve got 5 tunes from the same artist. All have different artwork that is displayed correctly in the artwork tab but in cover flow it just uses the same cover for all 4 tracks. Is there anything I can do about it so that cover flow displays artwork correctly?
I’ve tried removing the artwork but it just removes the artork from the tab and leaves an image in cover flow.
So removed the track from iTunes - put it back in and added the correct artwork and cover flow still puts in the same artwork!?
G5 Dual 2.5gig Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I’ve sorted it. I clicked on the info tab and it shows each of the tracks as being part of a compliation - I just un-ticked the box and the artowrk now displays correctly

What happened to Cover Flow in iTunes 11?

This upgrade is not as good than iTunes 10 was. I used cover Flow all the time an now it´s gone. How can I downgrade to iTunes 10 till Apple implements Cover Flow again in a new release of iTunes?

Totally agree! I downloaded latest i-tunes - and how I wish I could take back that moment.
I have thousands of music files and I used to be able to see them as a split List and Cover Flow which was perfect for flicking between Album/Artist/ Name etc whilst being able to scroll through the visual reference of Album Covers.
Something that all lovers of music have enjoyed for years. It echoed the experience of rifling through record collections.
i-Tunes used to be good for archiving all my music in a relatively user friendly format.
Why have they dumped this format!
Please bring back Cover Flow!

Possible video problems in iTunes 8.1 [no grid or cover flow views]

I had posted this problem under iTunes, but mentors there suggested instead I connect it to a video problem
*"...my video drivers or other related problems I've had over the last two months with the iPhoto...*
*Ah, didn't know about that. Try re-posting it as a video problem in one of the other forums. It begins to look less like an iTunes problem."*
So, the problem is that I cannot get any other view in iTunes other than LIST. The grid view is completely non functional and is grayed out. The cover flow only shows as a black screen without any logo (such as the familiar music symbol). I never had this problem in iTunes until I upgraded to 8.1.
It is curious that when I select tunes from my **own playlists*, the grid view appears both in the "view choices" and its respective icon is NOT grayed out. That does not happen when I select genious playlist: then the icon is grayed out and there is a grayed out "View choice" in the pull down menu. The same problem exists in my own playlists whenever I select cover flow, however. It is always black without any images or logos displayed. It's an active choice in the pull down menu, and you can click on its icon...but nothing appears.

As best I can tell, my iMac meets all criteria. However, it is not clear to me that it meets the criteria for playing videos (processor speed). I can't tell what this processor speed is; where do I discover that? Under "About this Mac," it says I have *_512 MB SDRAM_*; is that the answer that denies this functionality?
*"The grid view is completely non functional and is grayed out. The cover flow only shows as a black screen without any logo (such as the familiar music symbol)."* Your video card may not support cover flow.

Perhaps, but this is not obvious to me. As I posted earlier, iTunes demonstrated cover flow capability in its prior version. Did it change once 8.1 and now 8.1.1 came out?

IPod Classic Cover Flow Listing

My apologies up front, as I'm new to all this. I just got an iPos Classic and started using iTunes 9 to load it up. I have loaded hundreds of albums and enjoy the "Cover Flow" feature, but I'm baffled by the order. An album by various artists, e.g., "The Concert for New York City," shows up as artist "Adam Sandler," as he is the first artist on the album alphabetically. Every track on the album has got "Album Artist" set to "Various Artists," which is how I want it to show up on Cover Flow, instead of by tune artist. Any way to change this?

You'll also need to set *Part of a Complilation* to Yes. See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more info.

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.

Is there a way of making my iPod's "cover flow" sort in the same way the software can . Artist -- Album by Year . It only seems to do Artist -- by Alphabetical Album . I want it look like it does on the PC .

Is there a way to make the "cover flow" on the iPod match the sort style that I use on the software . I go with Artist -- Album by Release Year . But the ipod seems to only do Artist -- Alphabetical by Album , and then there are a handful of albums oddly out of place . Can it be done ?

Ottonomy, here's what to do.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
What's wrong with my iPod?
Thanks for your help!

so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
- Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
- Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
- Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

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.
