Seeing Cover Flow while connected to car deck

I have a Kenwood car deck with the ipod connector. I would like to view Cover Flow on the ipod while playing, but all that appears is the Kenwood logo. And way of forcing the ipod to show Cover Flow?

Yes, the Kenwood logo appears on the ipod whenever the Kenwood car deck is controlling it. The deck scrolls song title info.
Completely normal as far as I can tell. Whenever you connect to an external in car device, you're going to see the manufacturers logo displayed on the iPod screen. It did the same when I had a Kenwood, and does the same on my new Pioneer unit (which fortunately has the ability to display artwork on the unit's screen). No way around this that I know of.

I can't see Cover Flow

When I try to see cover flow in iTunes, it says that it cant. Could someone tell me what is wrong? My information is in the green on the bottom.

With iPhoto 7 the old iPhoto Library Folder has become a Unix Style Package folder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of these are safer and fster than surfing the iPhoto Library Folder.

4th gen. iPod touch restarts when using Cover Flow while playing music

I was just listening to music the past few months ever since I got my iPod touch back in August (and I love it) but for the past week I have been having this annyoing issue when I tilt my iPod touch to use Cover Flow. When I tilt the iPod while playing a song, the Cover Flow (and everything else on the screen) freezes and the music skips much like a CD skipping, then it restarts itself with the dotted circle loading symbol.
I am using a 4th generation iPod touch upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.
I have also noticed it only does this on certain albums by the way; some do it, while most others don't. I think the issue may be with the artwork as it's custom artwork and not artwork downloaded from iTunes.
Any help with this if possible? Thanks.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Ipod Classic will no longer connect to car deck's usb

I updated my ipod in itunes and now my car's usb deck will not recognize the ipod. It had been working for years without a problem. I emailed kenwood and they said apple pushed out an update that is causing compatibility issues with car decks. They suggested a "soft reset" which did nothing. Kenwood told me to contact Apple and Apple wants me to pay for support. Guess I'll surf around this forum till I find a way to revert back to an older version of the ipod software.
Here's the thread from kenwood:
Thank you for contacting Kenwood USA Corporation. We value you as a Kenwood customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I understand you are having an issue with playing back your Ipod. If you recently updated your Ipod to the newer iOS4 software version we recommend attempting to soft reset the Ipod and attempt reconnecting to your head unit. The available updates from Apple have caused some issues with connectivity. For information on resetting your Ipod we recommend visiting www.apple.com.
Please feel free to contact us again with any additional questions.

Body: After working perfectly for years, my Ipod will not play on my KDC-MP342U for the last 2 weeks. The KDC-MP342U just flashes, "reading" but never syncs. I tried resetting and restoring my Ipod, but I still can't get it to work on my deck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Read this Apple Support Article on Restoring iPod.
It is on step 6.
Restore would reformat your iPod Hardisk, if it is still in good condition, but some iPod Hardisk may be damage, due to abuse and misuse, so the Restore would fail.
For a successful Restore, I would also suggest that
Disconnect all other USB devices
Use the USB2.0 port
Do not use any USB Hub.

How to see cover art while browsing playlists?

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song, but not before. It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
I'm using iTunes v4.7.1
Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
Yes, when you have a song selected.
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song
You mean you CAN only see it when a song is selected?
It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
This feature was introduced in iTunes 7.
You can view all the artwork with the songs.

Cover flow with ipod

I just downloaded itunes 7 for windows, amd running windows XP and I have an Ipod nano.
cover flow works fine with my libarary on my computer, but I am not able to use it when I play music from my ipod through itunes on my computer. Is this not an option or am I doing something wrong.
help?

Well actually you've always been able to play music via your iPod on the computer.
The point of being able to do this is if you have a situation in which you plug your iPod into a computer other than your own (or the one the iPod is associated with) that doesn't have any of your music on it, like a computer at work or in a school computer lab, etc. I use this all the time at the office.
It would be neat to see cover flow on the iPod, but I'm fairly certain that would require some 3d graphics acceleration, which iPods don't quite have yet. Hopefully once they get to that point, they'll be able to do fullscreen visualizations :-D.

Music stutters when cover flow is used

I'm using 7.6.1.9, and since the latest "upgrade" I've been unable to use cover flow while music is playing. As soon as I invoke the cover flow mode, the song that's playing stutters a couple of times, stabilizes, and then stutters a bit every few seconds. If I use cover flower (i.e., flip through the covers), the song will fast-forward stutter until I stop.
Any ideas?

itunes appears to be written very differently than most windows software. I've had many, many problems with iTunes being sluggish -particularly when it comes to video refreshing. I have a dual processor machine that is brand new and loaded to the hilt with ram. Every other application works perfectly, but iTunes scrolls song lists as if I'm simultaneously calculating the last digit of pi. I can't say why, but after using iTunes on 5 different PCs, I can say that the performance is not at all in line with the performance of other applications. Personally, I think they should just do a ground-up rewrite and come up with something much smaller and more conforming to windows standards, but until then some stuttering may occur!

Has Cover Flow disappeared?

I just upgraded to the latest iTunes version 11.0 and am disappointed to not see Cover Flow available. Would love to have it back. Is there any way to activate the feature in the update?

So Cover Flow no longer appears as an option under the Music category on your iPod Classic?
B-rock

Cover flow and "enhanced interface" not working on iPod

I have an 80gb iPod classic video and it does not have the cover flow feature or "enhanced interface". I have updated the iPod software to version 1.2.3.
Thoughts?

*there's no way to download this feature?*
No I'm afraid there's not. I think it is safe to say that going on past model changes the interface will not be added retrospectively. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The new changes are much more extensive than that one was so I wouldn't expect to see Cover Flow or any aspects of the new interface added through an Apple firmware update to earlier models.

Cover flow missing as a menu option on ipod classic

Any ideas - no idea why but I can no longer see cover flow as menu option on our ipod classic. I have reset/updated software/ synced against playlist from other ipod which works but still no success.
The album art is on the ipod as I can see it when viewing individual albums!

actually, once you do a workout with the reciever attached, it will show up all the time, so that you can access your data....until it has data to report to you though, it doesn't show up, even when you turn it on in the menus....go for a run and it'll stay on the menu after that....

Cover flow problems music

Lately i have a problem with my iphone 5, When I tilt the phone to see cover flow The screen turns Black. :s. This happens only when i use the music app

R C-R wrote:
What do you mean by "show properly otherwise"? Is "otherwise" in other iPod views or in iTunes or something else?
In other iPod views and in iTunes.
However, sometimes I experience cover art problems when using the shuffle feature and skipping multiple songs in rapid succession. (The cover art is the wrong cover art, and it's shifted down and to the right and tiled with other cover arts.)
How have you entered the information for songs that have more than one artist in the artist field, both in the "Info" & "Sort" tabs of iTunes?
I'll try that right now and get back to you.

How do you see individual tv show episodes and not the cover for the tv show in cover flow?

I used iFlicks to import some of my TV series to iTunes. I then selected the cover flow view because its easier to see when sitting on the coach. The only problem i've got is that iTunes shows covers for each TV series but I can't seem to find a way to see how many episodes are in a series and how to select that episode. This is specifically for cover flow view. I took screenshot that shows Season 1 of Alphas that consists of 5 episodes:
[IMG]http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd432/vmoodleyzaf/ScreenShot2011-12-21at1933 27.png[/IMG]
As you can see in the screenshot, there's no indication of the episodes contained within the series. If anyone has any ideas about this, i'd really appreciate it.

If you are in Cover Flow view, fullscreen, selecting the cover only plays the first episode of the series. I even tried downloading an entire season from iTunes and it does the same thing. Obviously, iTunes names the episodes and season numbers correctly. If I press the skip button on the remote while watching an episode, it jumps to the next episodes without showing any info about the new episode. Please note that this is in fullscreen mode. If I exit fullscreen mode, then a list of episodes is shown below the cover of the tv show. However, that list is not viewable from a distance.

Connecting my 3GS to a KENWOOD Car deck

Check ur iphone > ipod > and check to see if the sound is connected via Bluetooth or Dock Connector. Choose Dock Connector.
Hope this helps? :))

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.
