Hi,
Your picture appears to be of a Mac desktop. You might want to post your problem on the forum that is meant for mac users. This one is for windows users. I'm surprised by your problem. I have noticed a lot of problems with the way itunes uses video refreshing, but I assumed the problems were because apple didn't want its windows version to work too well. It is the slowest and most frustrating application on my machine, but I assumed it would work pretty well on a mac. Anyways, good luck.

I am having problems with cover flow on my i phone when i change to landscape and flick through covers it is very unstabale and jerky and eventually crashes out.

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Problem with Cover Flow View

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem and I think it was from when there were some Vista updates this morning. Firstly my Podcasts wouldn't play but thats now been sorted by a FAQ but the cover flow view is all messed up and I can't seem to sort it. The covers are there and appear for a couple of seconds and then go green/black and white with lines through them. In Album view, the covers are fine but just the cover flow (which is the one I love to use! Anyone got any suggestions or having the same problem?

Okay. I'm still inclined to check on drivers, because your QuickTime version may have gone up a version with the recent iTunes install. (QuickTime can be sensitive to drivers ... and even though the video drivers are up to date, other driver/whatnot updates on a Dell may also help with video performance.)
The Inspiron 6400/E1505 32-bit vista page is one that i can't get a link for (i can navigate to the page, but the URL that shows up in my web browser once i've gotten there doesn't work for linking purposes).
So try heading to the XP page for that model, going up to the top of the page where it says Operating System: Windows XP Change OS, clicking Change OS, and selecting "Windows Vista 32-bit":
Inspiron 6400/E1505 (XP)
Once you're at the Windows 32-bit Vista page for that model, check in particular on the following things:
Check to see if the Chipset - Driver for your Intel Mobile Chipset is up to date.
Check to see if your Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 System BIOS is up to date.
After you've applied any updates (if any are applicable), do you have any better luck with the Cover Flow view?

Problem with Cover Flow full screen view in 10.6

I like to use the Cover Flow full screen view in iTunes on my monitor. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.6 Cover Flow full screen view will revert to Cover Flow standard view between each song. This did not occur with any previous version of iTunes. Is there a setting that will prevent Cover Flow automatically switching back to standard view from full screen view?

I guess I am the only one experiencing this issue of Cover Flow full screen view collapsing to standard view when a song within an album or playlist changes. This began in 10.6 and has continued in 10.6.1. At least I have not experienced the more serious issues others have with 10.6.

Problems with "Cover flow" mode

I read some posts about wrong order of songs or pictures in cover flow mode, but I think the problem is much more serious:
I wanted to delete the junk pictures that I downloaded from my iPhone and I decided to do that in the cover flow mode because I thought it was the most convenient view mode.
I browsed the pictures and when I decided I wanted to delete one I would push Command+Delete. I noticed that the picture I was trying to delete would stay there. I tried again and again and it wouldn't go away. I tried that multiple times on multiple files and eventually I noticed that the finder was actually deleting files, but unfortunately not the highlighted ones. I found multiple pictures in the trash that I didn't want to delete.
Anybody has the same experience? Any comment? Haven't Apple geniuses noticed that yet?

Problems with Cover Flow and Artwork.

Hey,
this is my first time having iTunes or iPhone/iPod, so I have tons of albums at home. It's no problem to get the music on the phone, but
1. There is no artwork although all albums are original.
2. All the songs show up single in CoverFlow. Instead of tapping one album and having the songs appear, they all appear in CoverFlow.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Righty, I'll start with the weird coverflow. Go into itunes and have a look at the song and album titles for your songs. For each album, is each song's album title and artist title the same? If not, select all of the offending songs, right / shift click, select 'get info' and change the album / artist title. This should work
Now, whilst you have the 'get info' window open, select 'Artwork', go to amazon and find the album you are looking at. Grab the album cover and drag to your desktop. Now, drag to the image to the artwork window and you should be all set!

Problems with Cover Flow

So I've just got my new iPod Classic and put on all my music, whilst scrolling through the artwork and selecting an artists 'Greatest Hits' album like usual it brings up all the tracks in a list but I noticed it brings up all other songs from other artists with albums titled 'Greatest Hits'.
I went through and checked on other artists where album titles match and it does the same thing. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Until Apple fixes this, the only way I can think of is to rename the albums from "Greatest Hits" to "<Artist's name> Greatest Hits". Wish I had a better solution. You should report this by completing Apple's Feedback Form HERE.

Finder Bug Renaming files with cover flow

If I try to rename a file using finder with cover flow using left and right arrows for moving in the filename, it goes up and down on file selection

A similar issue is evident in "List" view, when renaming a file inside a folder whose "disclosure triangle" is expanded. If you happen to be working a few levels down, it closes them all.
Maddening!
If you feel so inclined, please submit a bug report. Hopefully issues that receive a lot of complaints will be addressed.

"House of mirrors" bug with cover flow

Anyone else having this? House of mirrors with cover flow.
It appears to be a redrawn / VRAM issua. I'm running iTunes 7 on an iBook G3 500 (with 8MB of VRAM). If I choose to thousands of colors or lower the resolution, things work fine.
However, I haven't heard anyone reporting anythin like this. It's also happening in an iMac G3 500.

Indeed, it's showing off Mac OS graphic capabilities
Anyways, I the computer isn't able to display cover flow, it should appear a warning of some kind. I want to be able to use iTunes 7 even if I can't use cover flow.

Problem w/ cover flow view

To begin I'd like to say I'm not new to message boards and even a forum moderator for the company Streetglow. I've searched for hours trying to figure out my cover flow problem and I just can't get it to organize the way I like. I've had a few problems with itunes in the past but a store rep fixed them within minutes. This is my first big problem.
A few days ago I moved my entire library (I only have music files) to my external HD. The move went flawlessly and itunes even deleted itself in my "My Music" folder. Weird but everything was fine and I checked a song's location and saw that the location lead to my external. This is where the problem starts.
Yesterday, I opened itunes and my entire library is empty. It's as if I just installed itunes on my computer.
So, I re-imported all my files again and went to my cover flow view and I have multiple album art covers for each song. But, if I go to the grid view, its exactly how I want it. Artist....Album...in ascending order. But if I switch to cover flow, I have close to 500 album art covers.
Prior to this, every time I imported a CD, I filled out the info entirely. Kept the artist, and album artist the same. Cover flow view was perfect before this incident.
Now, I have to use the grid view because it's the way I'd like but I would like to use the cover flow.
Any ideas?

The albums will only stay grouped together when sort as *Album, Album by Artist* or *Album by Year*. Sort on Track title or Track No. and the order of covers will be pretty random. Sorting as Album by Artist groups all albums by the same alphbetically which tends to work for most people. What cues are your browsing for? Artwork, Album title, Artist, Track Name. You can use the search box to type in part of a track name if you're trying to find something specific. If you're just flicking through for something to take your fancy you might find grid mode more useful.

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>.

More options with cover flow

Is there a way to make cover flow only go through files that you have artwork for? When I'm browing for a CD by cover, I generally want to only listen to complete albums and I'd rather not page through all of the music note covers of files with no cover art.
Maybe I'm being too picky.

Hi, This type of logic based on previous users responses is not currently possible in FormsCentral.
There is an "Ideas" page where you can vote for or add feature requests, ideally you would find a similar idea to vote on: http://forums.adobe.com/community/formscentral?view=idea
I did look for a similar idea, I know it has been requested but I didn't locate one to point you to, you might spend a few minutes looking (more votes on one idea holds more weight than multiple similar ideas) and if you don't find one create a new idea by clicking "Create Idea" in the upper right.

HELP with cover flow

This is a simple question, in brief i have tons of covers of the SAME album, because there are different artists in a album and i DON'T want this, i want just the cover of the album, not all the artists sub-categories.
I'll post a photo as example.

How do i fix this?

You know ... those images of your cover art here ...
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8959/immagine2ak1.png
Do you think they would look better on a 'white' backgound ?
I do.
This is a way to ask... is there any way to set the 'cover flow' view mode
to use a white backgournd and not the dead black space that is the default
color?

How do you have couninous play with cover flow

How do you have continous play with cover flow

You don't. It plays from the track you select to the end of the album, optionally repeating.
