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!

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

often times when I have iTunes open in cover flow view and switch to another window using Exposé cover flow goes all whack (see photo). Has anybody else had this problem? What can I do about it?

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.

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?

Hi, Hack2er.
Let us know if this article in the Apple Knowledge Base relates to your problem.

Need Help: Problem with iTunes 8 and artwork.....

This is a weird issue. I'm trying to add album artwork for imported albums manually in itunes that it can't find or has incorrect. Every time I try (no matter which method) the artwork either doesn't take, iTunes freezes, or the album in question skips the first track until I delete the entire album and re-import. Any suggestions? I'm running 10.5.6. Any help would greatly appreciated

Hi,
Hope I can help. I had a similar problem. I could not update any information about the tracks album etc. I had checked permissions everything... finally I decided to go to ID3Tags and selected none and then the edits took. Strange don't know why, but in my case it has worked a number of times.

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.

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting. Anyone having problems?

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket. When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash. Anyone having problems? Help.

Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

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 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.

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.

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.

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).
