Separating a Show's Seasons in Cover Flow

Hey guys -
Bit of an aesthetical question rather than a practical one.
I've got three seasons of Scrubs - 3, 4, and 5 - And the entire series is represented in my TV Cover Flow by Season 4's big yellow pic. I would prefer to have a Cover Flow pic for each season separately, with each season's respective art. What's the easiest way to do this?

Ah, wouldn't you know.. Moments after I post seeking help I figure it out on my own. I'll illustrate my method, though, to provide insight to others seeking to do the same.
Most straightforward way I figured to do it is to edit each show individually (Sounds like a lot of work, but it's not). Right-click the first episode of each season, and click 'Get Info'. Under the 'Sorting' tab is a text box labeled 'Show'. Add the season tag here. For example, change 'Scrubs' to 'Scrubs - Season 3'. The episode will immediately fill its own Cover Flow box with that year's art.
To speed up the process, Command-C your entry and Command-V it within the box, then click 'Next' with your mouse. Simply repeat the Command-V + Click and you'll have every show edited within about a minute.

Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

Art shows in itunes cover flow & album view but not on ipod

I spent several hours downloading cover art to itunes for albums where the art couldn't be automatically retrieved by itunes. I'd browse through album view, and for every album that had no art, I'd (a) select the album by clicking on the default music-note image and thus activate the drag-and-drop target in the lower left, and (b) drag some art from a website. When I was done with this, all the albums for which I downloaded art would properly show art in the itunes cover flow and in album view mode.
For the iPod (a 160GB Classic), I deselected "display album art on your ipod", hit "apply" to have it delete the art, then reselected and applied again, and itunes went through the process of formating and downloading the art to the ipod.
Now, however, the iPod still only shows the artwork that had been automatically retrieved; all the art I had added manually won't show. Back in itunes, I notice that it looks like my process for downloading the art only resulted in the art being applied to one song per album, as far as I can tell randomly selected. If, in album view, I select each song individually, the art will show in the lower left corner (and in "get info") only for one of the songs; on one album it might be track 1 while on another it might be track 7. However this is enough for itunes to show the art for the whole album, and also to show the art in cover flow.
Is there any automatic way to synchronize the art over a whole album, or at least to get it to download to the ipod so that it shows in cover flow and album view on the device as well as on the computer? I had to download art for about 190 albums; it would be a real drag to have to do that again.

Ok, here is the method I used. Another member gave this to me. It has worked for my iTunes library, and hopefully my ipod on the next sync.
I opened iTunes and Safari, with Safari on Amazon.com (to get the art). I would play any song from an album and command-click the each song in the album. Once each song is highlighted, I hit command-I to change info. I then dragged the art from Safari to the small box on the right of the smaller info change screen. This resulted in every song highlighted displaying the same artwork.
I hope this helps.

How can i Display my images in cover flow view in Keynote?

I am working on a project .I am on Mavericks . I need to make a presentation of my project ideas . My project involves showing some images in cover flow view . So, is there any way i can show my images in cover flow view in keynote or pages app or by using any other app .

Keynote is an screen based presentation application
Pages is a page layout application for print output
Coverflow is a viewing option of the finder to look at the contents of a folder
To create a slideshow of your images, open Keynote and drag and drop images from a folder into the Navigator pane then press the play button

Issues with finder going out of sync with file images in cover flow.

Hi All,
I'm having issues with files going out of sync with images in cover flow since updating to Mavericks. Typically, if I had for example 10 pictures listed as 1 to 10, if i deleted images 6&7 the images remain in coverflow but the file listings are removed, then if i click on image 7 the file listing of image 8 is highlighted, then to make matters worse, if i click on the file listing for image 9 in shows image 8 in cover flow. To stop this I have to shut down finder and restart it, then the whole thing repeats itself if i delete more images. Its a nightmare when your working with 50 plus images at a time!!! Help!!
Thanks all.

com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.finder.plist
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Cover Flow Display Problem

Has anyone experienced the situation where in cover flow display the album cover will appear when not the primary display (it's one to the left or right and appears 'sideways') but when you place it in the primary display position (the one you're focused on) that area is just black? This is only happening on a few albums but not others. If anyone has a solution to this I'd really appreciate it. I'm very computer savvy, and have tried everything I can think of but can't fix it.

After hours of frustrating experimentation, my partner appears to have found a workaround for this problem. If you have cover art not showing up at all, or showing up in the Cover Flow, but not when you turn your iPod Touch back vertically, this is what to do. If you view the info on a single file in iTunes, you'll notice the cover art sits in the middle of the screen in the Artwork view. What you need to do is create a blank 200x200 72 resolution image file (I don't think these paramaters must be exactly as noted, you just need a square, blank image file). Then add this blank image as a second image to the album that won't display its cover art. Afterward you should have the original artwork on the left half of the display and the blank part on the right. It won't work to just use the slider to get the original file to the left by sliding the slider one place to the left, because once you exit it just puts the picture back in the middle again. You have to add a blank image file. (In fact, the second image file doesn't even have to be blank, if you just want to use another album image file you have.) Once you have the artwork you want displayed fixed to the left half, everything works fine.

Problem using iTune Cover Flow display

Previously iTunes "Cover Flow" allowed me to view album convers.
Now it displays: "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
I am able to see album covers in "Album List" and "Grid" displays.
Any ideas?

Audiobook Cover Flow Issue

I have recently noticed that coverflow no longer functions appropriately when listening to an audiobook. Previously, when listening to an audiobook, turning the phone sideways would show all audiobooks in cover flow mode. Now, when turning sideways, the current audiobook shows up at the end of the music album list with no other audiobooks appearing. Additionally, when viwing the audiobook content (flipping the cover) only the current portion being listened to appears as opposed to all tracks of the audiobook. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know why? Perhaps a bug with version 1.1.1?

I have the same issue and, in addition, when playing an audiobook, on the back of most of my albums in coverflow mode I get the list of chapters from that audiobook as opposed to the songs from each album. Also, I have 4 audiobboks, however only the audiobook playing shows up in coverflow mode...
Then, if I start playing a song instead, the audiobook disappears from the last position of the coverflow list and the correct list of songs reappears on the back of each album...
Has anybody else had these problems?

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.

How to show one album art image for a compilation album in cover flow view?

I just finished getting album art for my entire music collection. Now I go to the Cover Flow view or the Album view and individual songs in compilation albums each have their own album art instead of being grouped together under the same album art. For instance I have a "Buddha Bar" Album with various artists. Instead of having one image for the album, each artist has his or her own image (all the same Buddha Bar album art). So a compilation CD with various artists ends up having 15 images instead of one image in the Album art or Cover Flow view which makes it harder to look through my albums. Does anybody know if it is possible to change this?

iTunes doesn't have the ability to do what you want, i.e. to define multiple separated values in a field and then have the item show up when looking at a selection based on each of those values. "Bob Dylan", "The Band" and "Bob Dylan & The Band" are three distinct values that can't be linked together. Sort values can change where in a list things are displayed but shouldn't be used to attempt to merge different values as results are undefined and unpredictable.

Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

Force Cover Flow to use a particular artwork for a tv show?

I had a mix up with Cover Flow before but that turned out to just be me getting confused with the way it displayed artwork for various series of a tv show. But now it really is taking the ****.
The scenario is this, I ripped a tv show from a DVD, several series of it. Put the first series in, gave every episode individual artwork, gave it a programme name, unique Episode ID that was incremental and also a episode number, also incremental.
This seemed to work fine. Every episode was in order, and Cover flow showed the first episode's artwork as the series artwork which is what I thought it was supposed to do.
I've been trying to put in the second series, did it exactly the same way. Except after quitting iTunes and restarting it, Cover Flow has idiotically decided to display the artwork for one of the other episodes, not the first one of which I have special artwork set for and for. There is no error in the Episode ID incremental numbers or the Series Number or the Episode Numbers, they're all correct, I've done my usual multi-check and delete then re-add. It just seems to like using the artwork for the eleventh episode as opposed to the first.
So how can I force Cover flow to display a particular artwork for a show? I probably wouldn't mind so much but its choices are reflected on my Apple TV and it just looks a bit crap on that.

Forget it. Obviously no one knows.

Combining individual songs to show as 1 album in cover flow

I'm manually going through my iTunes library filling in missing album artwork. I haven't really used cover flow because of the fact that I had so few albums that autofilled with album artwork. But I'd like to now, I noticed that a lot of my albums aren't "linked" together as a album and show up individually as their own album. I'll use the Malt Shop Memories set as an example. It's a 10 disc set of oldies that I changed "info" for across the whole album (one disc at a time) I pasted in the album artwork, set disc number, total number of discs, set Album name, and set the genre. Now when I click on the tab to view the library in grouped it shows the album art and one song. Then below it, the album art again and one song etc etc. In coverflow it has a album art icon per song so I can't just click to the next song I have to (in this case) click past 15 songs to get to the next album/disc.
So my question is, how can I fix that lol. I mean isn't it only supposed to show the album art once per album? How do I tell iTunes that this group of songs should be one album? Thanks for any help!

I tried those things in that article. I have a 2 disc set that has various artist but them same album art on both discs.
I highlight all 15 tracks on disc 1 and click on "Get Info" so that I am making changes across all the songs. I set for all of them; Compilation - Yes, Album - Malt Shop... , Disc number - 0f 2, Track Number - of 15, Genre - Oldies, and I paste in artwork that I've copied to the clipboard.
I make sure that not only does it have the correct info in the fields but also that the green check mark is in the corresponding box. I even tried marking them all as (Part of a compilation - NO) then remarking them all at the same time as Compilation - Yes. Still no good, all the info is right and it still shows 1 song as a album.
What am I missing?

Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

Hello,
For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
Any idea?

A reboot solved the problem.
I guess this is the workaround for now...

Finder Cover Flow is broken and doesn't show the correct file I click on

When I go into my Downloads and press the spacebar to preview a photo, it will preview the photo before it for some weird reason.
Example:
I highlight and press space for "Photo 2", but instead it will show "Photo 1" in the Cover Flow and will Preview that instead.

Totally broken for me too. This is a giant, gaping hole in the OS LOL. I fire up a Finder window w/ cover flow view, erase a file, and now the highlighted image in the list below is off by one file and it doesn't remove the preview of the just-deleted file in the Cover Flow pane. Sad. This is just an embarrassing bug Big A. How do you not fix this before going public with a major point release? Not to mention the scrolling issue.
