Scratchy Sound When Sliding Through Covers in Cover Flow View in iTunes 8

Anyone having problems with a scratchy sound as you slide through covers in the cover flow view in iTunes 8?
Also sliding too fast has caused app to crash.

The scratchy sound seems to have come up a few times with iTunes 8 (including in a couple of other threads that I can't find right now). It seems to have picked up around the last QT update, which was coincident with the iTunes upgrade.
(post updated)
I must admit, I didn't read closely at 7:30 in the morning, and didn't see this was just happening to OP with cover flow.
But there have been a number of people (including me) complaining of general scratchiness in iTunes 8 and AirTunes that seems traceable to the last QT update. Be glad you aren't in my situation, where it's ALWAYS scratchy.

  • Cover Flow view in iTunes 7

    I really like the cover flow view but it seems the albums are keyed on Artist so if different tracks have different artists, they show up as multiple albums in the cover flow view. Is there any way to make it key on Album name instead?

    Below the cover view is the track listing which has all the columns as usual - simply click the column title to sort by that field.
    If the album has different artists then make sure the 'group compilations' option is ticked in preferences and then go into the info for the tracks and select 'part of a compilation'. iTunes will then group the tracks into a single album and display 'various artists' as the artist.
    There is also now a field called 'album artist' which sets an artist for an entire album.

  • Cover flow view for iTunes 11

    Is the cover flow view available for itunes 11? I am not able to find it.

    That' really sad... Cover Flow was one good feature that I liked in iTunes. And so, I'm still sticking onto version 10.7

  • Cover flow view in itunes

    Hello I am a new iTunes user. I love the feature that allows you to view your music arranged under their album covers. But when I am viewing the covers in iTunes it creates multiple entries of the same album if there is an additional artist performing on the album. For example, the new Timbaland cd shockvalue shows a different cover picture for every song. So instead of just showing one album cover for all the songs from the same cd it shows Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and nelly furtado, then it has another one, with Timbaland presents shockvalue featuring Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. I have tried several viewing options with coverflow but have not found a configuration that doesn't break up a cd's songs into multiple entries if their are additional artists on the same album. Why would anyone want to see 15 coverflow pictures for the same CD? This makes viewing the coverflow option a really flawed feature.

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

  • Why can't I view album covers in cover flow?

    When I click on the cover flow view setting, itunes says "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer" but I can see the album covers in iTunes in different views. How do I change this?

  • Cover Flow View - NOT working

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the cover flow view on iTunes. I don't know when this when happened but it was there before I updated to iTunes 10.
    This is how it looks:
    http://www.kwisvragen.com/itunesproblem/coverflowitunes.tiff
    It's only under Music, if I go to any of my playlist cover flow is working.
    So, does anyone know what is going on and how can I make the cover flow work again?
    THANKS!
    Thanks!

    For me this worked:
    1) I exported my Library: File -> Library -> Export Library
    Saved the .xml file on my desktop.
    2) Closed iTunes.
    3) I went to /Users/your user/Music/iTunes and deleted the following files:
    iTunes Library
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    4) Reopened iTunes.
    File -> Library -> Import Playlist -> Navigated to my desktop and selected the .xml file from step 1.
    5) Waited few minutes (Depends on the library size, I guess. Mine is huge.)

  • Album View and Cover Flow View are not available in iTunes 7

    Hi,
    When I connect my iPod, in the iTunes 7, the options for Album view and Cover Flow View are disabled for the song list on my iPod. I only have a list view for them. However, at the same time, the songs on the library can be viewed in any of the three (3) views.
    What might be the possible reason and is there any options to view your iPod songs in Cover Flow View in iTunes (while it is connected)?
    Please solve this query of mine.

    It just simply not a feature. You might think about requesting it here:

  • Cover Flow View Freezes

    You know that thing with blokes that they rarely ask for help....... well all I can say is I've tried....... and tried.
    iTunes works perfectly well, no probs apart from one. If I select the Cover Flow View the iTunes window freezes. The other views work fine. If I set up a new account and transfer all of my music over to the new account....... guess what.... it works fine. So it's an account thing?......
    I've stripped it off and re-loaded it and it doesn't help.
    If anyone can help that'd be grand.
    Thanx.

    I got told by Apple Support over the phone that this exact solution would fix the same issue I had. It didn't.
    I thought it was a pretty good idea. That way they could tell if it was an account thing. I think generally speaking iTunes 7.0.2 has major issues.

  • My itunes loses the sound when playing through TV/receiver

    My itunes loses the sound when playing through TV/receiver.  It is my 2nd Apple TV,  I have a Mac and PC and I have used 2 different receivers.  Any help?  If I start the music through Apple TV is doesnt skip but then I cant have it playing through computer at the same time.  It amazes me how these littles things arent fixed yet.

    I have almost the exact same problem, except that mine is without the iTouch. My itunes is working perfectly - uploading music from CD's, searching for music, syncing with my iPod classic. However when i ask it to play any music it will say that it is playing yet not only will no sound come out but the timer bar will not move either. it is the same with music in the itunes store and happens regardless of what else is happening on my laptop.
    i know my sound works fine with all other programs, and i read on another forum that 'repairing' itunes through the control panel fixes it, however this is not the case.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • My Pixma 922 makes a scratchy sound when printing

    Why does my Pixma 922 make a scratchy sound when printing?  It just started today, and I have cleaned the rollers, the bottom tray (which is the only tray I use), I have aligned the printer heads, and unclogged the cartridges.  I have troubleshooted the printer and it states all is okay?  Nothing is wrong with the printing images and no half printed testing pages.
    Assistance please and any ideas will be marvelous!

    Hi 4Adonai,
    There is a setting the in the printer driver that may resolve this issue, "Prevent Paper Abrasion".  To enable this, please follow these steps:
     1.  Click on Start and then Control Panel.
     2.  Click on Printers.
     3.  Right click the PIXMA MX922 and left click on Printing Preferences.
     4.  Click on the Maintenance tab.
     5.  Click on the Custom Settings button.
     6.  Place a checkmark next to Prevent Paper Abrasion.
     7.  Click OK.
     8.  Click Apply (if available) and then OK.
    Attempt to print.  The noise should be gone when printing.

    I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the  picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
    Thanks for any help,
    Graham

    I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

  • Finder crashing when in Cover Flow view

    I installed Leopard a few days ago and have noticed that whenever Finder is on Cover Flow view, it crashes and restarts. This happens at least 50% of the time but only in this view mode. In the other 3 view modes, it is stable.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have noticed that many JPG files do not show preview icons or coverflow views on my system (many do, many don't 50-50?). I tried launching a JPG file and Preview launched, but no file, then Finder crashed (desktop and all) and reloaded. I repeated this several times with different JPG files. Same thing with Quick View (caused a crash).
    The other issue I've had is with the photo screen savers. They play through once then quit, or don't work at all. I can no longer use my picture catalog for a screen saver with Leopard.
    I've just rebuilt my Spotlight index... maybe that will help?
