Invert Cover Flow and iTunes Content

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if there was a way to put iTunes' cover flow display on the bottom of iTunes, and have the list of songs above it?
Thanks,
Ben Hummel

Any ideas???

No Covers in grid and list modes, but in Cover Flow and Information

I have Itunes 9.0.2 and the Covers of the songs are only shown in Cover Flow and under Information. If I'm in grid mode or other modes they are not shown. In the left down corner there is only black. Any idea?

It's the same for me.
I have added the cover s to every song. Under XP Home 32 Bit everything ist ok, und Windows 7 64 Bit the covers are there in the information and in coverflow, but not in the list an dgrid layout.
When I klick on the ? and then on "Info" the About-Window appears, but its content is only black too.
I updated the driver for the Nvidia GT230, but it didn't help.
Any idea anybody?

Cover flow and album sort issues

I just got a 80GB iPod classic for Christmas and I have noticed some annoying differences between iTunes cover flow and iPod cover flow:
1. In iTunes cover flow, when you have songs with "Unknown Album", they clutter up the cover flow for each artist. In iPod cover flow, they are sent to the back of the cover flow in a nice little "Various Artists" cover. I like how this works on the iPod better.
2. iTunes cover flow sorts by album artist, so you don't see a separate album for each non-album artist song.
For example: If I set my album artist for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" (don't ask why, this is how i like it sorted) then I will only see one "Saturday Night Fever" rather than one for Bee Gees, one for Kool & the Gang, etc.
iPod cover flow sorts by artist, so you see a separate album for each non-album artist song. I like the way this works in iTunes better.
3. When sorting by "Album by Year" in iTunes, syncing the iPod doesn't seem to follow the same sorting. Albums are still sorted on the iPod alphabetically. I want them to sort by year on my iPod.
So I would appreciate it if someone could help me with all 3 of these issues. As you can see, sometimes iTunes is better for me, sometimes iPod is better for me.

3. Playlists should be sorted in the same way as they are in iTunes. The Cover Flow order is fixed.
This is not the case, at least not with iTunes 7.5.0.20 and my 80GB Classic running 1.0.3 on it (current version as of this writing). In iTunes, under LIBRARY, I select Music, and I have my music sorted via *Album by Year*. This works perfectly in iTunes. I'll use my Soundgarden library as an example, as it shows the problem nicely.
*_iTunes order_:*
Ultramega OK
Louder Than Love
Screaming Life/Fopp
Badmotorfinger
Superunknown
Songs From The Superunknown
Down on the Upside
A-Sides
That's ordered by date and is perfect. +Ultramega OK+ was released way back in 1988, while A-Sides was released nearly 10 years later in 1997. In Cover Flow View it works great. However, in the iPod it's sorted alphabetically, which is completely wrong:
*_iPod Classic_:*
A-Sides
Badmotorfinger
Down on the Upside
Louder Than Love
Screaming Life/Fopp
Songs From The Superunknown
Superunknown
Ultramega OK
This is totally wrong. And I haven't yet found a way to force it.
Apple, please, this shouldn't be that difficult.

Iphone pauses and flips to cover flow and back with other earphones

If I use any other earphones than the ones that are provided, my iphone pauses and plays randomly, and flips to cover flow and back without any movement... any help?

Connect the two devices that are showing large backups to your computer and check the capacity guage in iTunes to see how large "Other" is. Sometimes this can grow to be extrememly large, requiring you to restore the device to reduce it to a more reasonable level (approx. 1GB).

Cover Flow and pictures of album...

Alright, hey peeps, I have a SLIGHT(ya right) problem. When I take songs from my comp to my iPod classic (80g), when I go on "Songs" it shows an album right? Yeah, well, the thing is, when I go on SONGS, it only shows ONE album picture. Thats ok, but when I go to cover flow, the other album pictures (That are visible on Windows Media Player) are NOT there! Where are the picture?! And when I listen to the song (the cover of the album in this one is a large ship stuck in an iceberg) and its not there while you can clearly see it in WIndows Media Player. Please people help out because I AM VERY FURIOUS!! I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR KIND AND HELPFUL WORDS!!

iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.

Cover Flow in iTunes Sluggish

I have a 2.0 GHz Centrino Duo processor with 2 GB in memory and nVidia GS video drives. But, cover flow in iTunes is sluggish. Is there any way to fix it? Is it Vista?

Sorry, but you cannot. Cover Flow is not available in iTunes 11.

How to I turn on Cover Flow in iTunes 11

I recently upgraded from iTunes 10.7 to version 11, but I cannot use it without Cover Flow. How do I turn it back on?

Apple removed Cover Flow from iTunes 11. You cannot turn it on back again.
What you can do:
Downgrade to iTunes 10.7
Leave Feedback to Apple and protest against it (so did I, too)
<Edited by Host>

Please fix cover flow and quick look asap.!

Maverick upgrade put my cover flow and quick look unuseable. shows wrong Icon for file. I ran disk utility several times to no avail.

Apple probably don't read this user forum, so submit feedback if you want to talk to them directly.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
This is a place to get help from other users, so if you can provide more info we may be able to work it out, otherwise you will be stuck waiting for it to work itself out or for Apple to change something.
This app will create a system report that could highlight what is happening on your system (it's possible for old software to break new code on Mavericks).
http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck run it & paste the output here.
You should try Quicklook with several files of different types to work out what works & what doesn't. Look for patterns too, e.g. Do jpegs on the desktop work but not when they are inside you Pictures folder.
What exactly did you run in Disk Utility and did you do that when booted from the recovery partition?
Have you rebooted since installing Mavericks?
I would also recommend trying a 'safe boot' to see if Quicklook works in that reduced mode (not everything works in safe mode so don't be alarmed if an app won't open etc).

Problems with iTunes 7 cover flow and remote desktop

Hi. iTunes 7 is an amazing upgrade, but unfortunatly the nicest addtion doesn't work for me with remote desktop, which is how I primarily access my music server.
When using remote desktop, and I switch to cover flow, I just get a message in the cover flow panel saying something to the effect of "itunes cannot display...".
Any help appreciated.

I had major issues until I visited http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304434 and turned my Terminal Services back on. I had set it to "Disable" to save resources. Once I set it to "manual", the IPOD worked great with Itunes.

Visualizer and cover flow crash iTunes in Leopard

I don't know what's happening, but both WERE working fine shortly after I got my late 07 BlackBook. I checked out the new visualizers, I checked out cover flow in full screen, and all was well.
At some point something happened that prevents visualizers from starting or cover flow from working. Starting or selecting either will cause iTunes to hang until it quits or (most of the time) I have to force quit iTunes.
Most of the time I click "Report" and I don't even get the dialog window to send the report to apple. Everything else seems to work fine. Audio and video playback and video playback at full screen.
I tried removing ALL plugins from HD > Library > iTunes > iTunes Plugins. Then restarting. Still didn't work. I put them back. Still. The folder User > Library > iTunes > iTunes Plugins was empty and still is.
Admins:
Is that something that Apple will take a support call for? my BlackBook is only two months old and well within the warranty period. I need some help!

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6341977#6341977
I fixed my problem and put details on this other forum post. I had another problem and the same procedure fixed both problems.

Cover Flow on iTunes and iPod not syncing properly...help!

When I add an album to my iTunes library, it works fine (i.e. it's grouped properly) in Cover Flow, but when I sync it to my iPod, it doesn't show up properly on my iPod's cover flow. How do I fix this?
I guess I should add that the album has an Album Artist because there are three tracks with different artists. Get my drift? PLEASE HELP!

It will probably help if we know what it does do.
Is it:
1. you turn the iPod to landscape so that covers display, but there is a problem here?
2. while in portarit mode, the cover is displayed - but in your case - what?
3. something else?
Oh, and by the way, 21 views (from other users, not trained Apple staff) in 1 hour and four minutes - probably not from everywhere in the world! (Take note of where I am.) It can take a day or two before someone who knows the answer reads your post - usually after they have finished work, getting home, eating, etc etc.

Problems with iTunes Cover Flow and Windows Vista

I just recently upgraded my computer to Windows Vista Home Premium (32-Bit). I preformed a clean install and every program I have tried so far (Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Age of Empires 3, Halo: Combat Evolved, Microsoft Office XP, etc.) have worked fine, however, iTunes is having some problems (7.4.1.2). First, cover flow does not work right. It can get it to run, but it is super slow. It ran very smoothly on Windows XP, now on Vista it skips every over album cover and is very choppy. It seems like it is running at 3 FPS. Also, none of my videos will play in Quictime or iTunes. The strange thing is I can play the same videos in VLC and GOM and they work great. I just went to nVidia's web site and installed the latest drivers and my games runs fine so I don't think it is a driver issue but I am not sure.
Any advice I would appreciate,
Thanks

Well - you're not alone. I've got a very high-end video card (nVidia 8600 GTS OC), and am running Windows Vista Ultimate. Every aspect of 3D acceleration works great with my machine (World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2142, Half Life 2, Counterstrike: Source, etc.), except iTunes/Quicktime. I pretty much have the same issues: videos (all - .mov, .mp4) play absolutely horribly in both applications, and cover flow is slow/choppy at best. I think it's an iTunes/Vista issue that Apple has yet to touch, so I'm just waiting for January (I'll buy my first mac, a macbook pro, then), because for the first time in my life, I'll have an installation of iTunes that functions properly. I love iTunes. Just not on Windows machines. It leaves something to be desired.

Cover Flow in iTunes 8

Last weekend, I was asked to DJ my company's Christmas party at a bowling alley. I took my computer and hooked it up to their PA System, and everything went well. But since returning home, my iTunes 8, in the Cover Flow view, says "iTunes is unable to browse covers on this computer." I have run dxdiag, testing both DirectDraw and Direct3D, and both are working fine. I have gone to the website for the manufacturer of my video card, but was unable to open any page with drivers on it. Does anyone have any more ideas?

you should just reinstall it again, usually it fixes bugs on its own.

Cover flow in iTunes 11.x

Why isn´t in iTunes 11.x - it is out of all reason!!!
Load the iTunes-Store - and what will you see in head of the Store-Window??? Cover flow!!!

Dropped over 18 months ago. I miss it occasionally too, but it's a bit late to worry about it now.

JPG files unreadable in cover flow and preview but can be read in quicktime

After upgrading to 10.5 some jpg files (canon 30D shots) can not be shown in cover flow or preview. Also the files will not import in iPhoto (import hangs). The files can be read with quicktime.
If I press 'get info' for the folder that contains the jpg's the Finder seems to crash, and quickly restarts.
If I try to open the file in preview, nothing happens (while other jpg's are fine)
If the files are transferred to another mac running 10.5 the same problem occurs
Permissions seem to be ok
Any suggestions?

My problem is similar.
Create a file in Illustrator CS3
Open File in Photoshop CS3
Save File as JPEG
- Quicklook - Crashes Finder
- Get info - Crashes Finder
- Drag into Mail - nothing happens
- Open in Preview - nothing happens
- Open in Photoshop - all ok
Workaround - Open file in photoshop and Copy and paste into a new document.
Guess that strips out some Metadata.
This is also what caused a Numbers.app file from opening - the document had a jpeg imported. Solved by showing package contents on the numbers file and deleting the offending jpeg.
This is reproducible on 10.5, 10.5.1, Intel and PPC systems.
