ITunes 7 cannot browse album covers on this computer error and crash

Installed iTunes 7 yesterday, and now every time I try to go to certain pages in the iTunes store, such as movies or tv shows, I get an error saying "iTunes cannot browse album covers on this computer". Then iTunes immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fix??
Compaq   Windows XP  

I have the same issue. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I was on the Cover Flow View and it was working fine. I clicked on the full screen icon and the entire screen went random (meaning totally random pixels of color all over). I pressed the escape key and the normal screen returned, but it only showed a black section where the covers had previously been. I restarted iTunes and it started giving me the same message. I also can see them in the lower left and on the Album View. Just the Cover Flow view doesn't work. I downloaded the latest iTunes today and I keep all of the Windows updates on.

  • Windows 7, Itunes 10.3.1.55. "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".

    I just built a new Computer and sucessfully moved my iTunes Library and music over (Windows 7, Itunes 10.3.1.55).  I am getting a message on the cover flow view that states, "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".  This Cover Art is showing in all other views, so it is there.  I upgraded QuickTime and even install Safari.  This did not work.  I have a very large music collection and prefer the coverflow navigation.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I too am having a very similar problem with cover artwork in Itunes version 10.3.1.55 for my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. Certain Artists or Albums cover art will not show up and also when I try to manually add my own cover to the album it does not save. I can however, view with the coverflow option but its useless without all the cover art. I would greatly appreciate any help with fixing this very annoying problem.
    I've looked into the direct x suggestions and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks anyway, Polydorus.

  • Cannot Browse Album Covers

    Hello All, first time posting here....hope someone can help! I have upgraded two versions of Itunes for my PC, the and I still cannot browse album artwork. I can see artwork for my playlists and main library, but when I click the far right button, I guess it would be called the Cover Flow button, I get a message saying "Itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer."
    I installed Itunes for my gf last night on her pc, and that feature works great, but not on mine. Am I missing something?
    thanks,
    Kelly

    Thanks for the link, most helpful article! Looks like my video card is probably not updated, so looks like I'll have to update the drivers or may get a new video card, been wanting to get one anyways. I've downloaded a driver for my card from the SIS site, now it's in a zip file and I don't know how to open it! I'm running something called WinRar (i think)

  • Party Shuffle: "iTunes is unable to browse album artwork on this computer"

    Hello
    I have recently had to completely wipe and reformat my hard-drive, after the Operating System started running really slowly. I'm now back up to speed and everything's great, including iTunes.
    However, when I go to run the Party Shuffle, I get the above error message showing. Whilst this doesn't interfere with the functionality of the application, I was wondering if there was perhaps some additional component that needed to be installed in order to make iTunes able to display the artwork. For what it's worth, I can view the artwork in the Artwork Browser, just not in Jukebox mode.
    None of this is a showstopper, but I know that I used to have this functionality and now I don't.
    TIA.

  • ITunes movie rental sync generates "authorize this computer" error message

    Hello. I've rented Cabin Fever (HD version) via iTunes and am trying to sync it to my iPad 2. The sync process continues for some time but then cancels with a message saying something like "this device is not authorized to play this content. Please authorize the computer in settings ..." etc. But my computer *is* authorized. Clicking "authorize" simply generates a message saying "this computer is already authorized" and a number count of how many devices authorizations I still have left to use.
    I've read in other searching that HD movies can't be synced, but that seems outrageous. Is that the issue? (I feel like I'm *certain* I've watched other rented movies in HD because why would I ever choose SD?)
    What can I try to get this to work? 
    thanks!

  • Itunes cannot browse albums on this computer

    I have several windows pc xp sp2 pro machine, on some itunes will work, on others itunes will work but will not allow coverflow of albums. I have found much chatter on the web about this problem but no definitive cause, nor no definitive answer.....
    Can some one please tell me the cause and or solution.
    Thanx
    terence

    Generally if coverflow doesn't work it's because the machine doesn't have enough dedicated video memory to handle the extra workload coverflow requires. You need an independent video card (computers that rely on the motherboard for video are not great candidates for coverflow) with at least 32 mb of independent video memory.
    The required specs for 7.3 are:
    Windows Requirements
    Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later, Windows XP or 32-bit editions of Windows Vista
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV or iPhone
    500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
    QuickTime 7.1.6 or later (included)
    256MB RAM
    Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
    Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
    NOTE these VIDEO REQUIREMENTS:
    Additional Video Requirements
    2.0 GHz Pentium class processor or better
    512MB RAM
    32MB video RAM
