Still can't use cover flow

okay, i still can't use cover flow. i got the itunes 7 update, 7.0.1, but it still comes up with "can't browse album covers on this computer." is it just because i use windows 2000, or do i need to change something on my computer?

It shouldn't be related to Windows 2000, and luckily there are a few things you can try.
First, here's Apple's reference to the problem, iTunes 7 for Windows is unable to display album covers in Cover Flow.
The following have fixed the problem for many people...
Make sure the graphics card has 32Mb of memory or more. If you're not sure carry on as we're going check this later
Download and install iTunes 7.0.1 (or higher), http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Make sure that your Hardware Acceleration is set at Full. Control Panel > Display, Settings > Advanced, Troubleshoot
Install the latest drivers for your Graphics card - this fixes most problems
Download and install DirectX 9.0c (or higher), DirectX 9.0c
Start > Run, type dxdiag and press enter. Go to the Video tab (or Display n) and enable DirectDraw Acceleration and Direct3D acceleration.
Whilst on this tab check the Approx. Total Memory value to ensure your graphics card has at-least 32MB of available memory
If iTunes still isn't working...
Uninstall iTunes, don't re-install just yet...
Install Quicktime 7.1.3 (or higher), http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Install iTunes again
However, I can confirm that none of the above will work for the Matrox G550. Guess which card I have...
P4 2GHz, 1GB RAM Windows XP Pro SP2; Matrox G550; Dual screen

Tells me i can't use cover flow?

hello,
i just reinstalled windows xp home on my computer, itunes gives me the "itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer"
my specs are the following:
windows xp home sp3
latest directX
updated drivers (i think, windows was having a problem with updates)
700mhz ibm thinkpad a22m (2628) 512mb of ram 40gb hdd, i think ati rage M1
it works perfectly on my ibook g3 500 and imac g3 500 which are both obviously half of this thinkpad.
it worked before the windows reinstallation.

Start menu -> Control panel - Add/remove programs.
Select QuickTime and run Repair.

Green / Magenta squares after using Cover Flow or the like

I'm on a C2D white 20" iMac upgraded to 10.5.1 Leopard. Whenever I use Cover Flow, or Front Row, or Time Machine, I get these squares all over the screen and I can only clear them out with a reboot.
I tried searching on the issue here but most things I'm seeing are for lines, either horizontal or vertical, but it seems they're all afflicting the alum iMacs, and not white ones like mine.
Is there by any chance a fix I could exact to rectify this?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm referring to:

I have exactly the same issue, just started appearing after I upgraded to Leopard (10.5.1) after Christmas. For me, this occurs particularly when using video effects in PhotoBooth or iChat. Also sometimes when I'm using iPhoto. (I am still using the previous release of the iLife suite).
Tonight I upgraded to the Leopard-compatible version of RapidWeaver, and I started to see the same green/magenta squares effect appearing in "thumbnail" images on photo pages. That makes me think it's something in the graphics processing, and not just the display hardware.
Please advise if you heard anything helpful from Apple or another user. Thanks.

Using Cover Flow, then resizing window

I love cover flow for my finder windows, but every time I resize a window, it automatically makes the cover flow section increase in size.
This drives me nuts; I'm always trying to increase the window size so I can see more options available to me in the list. In essence, cover flow is more of a pretty additional thing, but I never actually use it. Should I just stop using Cover Flow?
Is there an easy fix to this issue? I've looked in View Options and set the "Use as Defaults" for window size for now... I really think this will solve my problem. But I'm just curious to see if there's anything else out there regarding Secrets of the Finder Windows.

I've never found a way to have those two panes scale proportionally (what I'd prefer) or prefer the lower list pane to the upper Cover Flow pane. I think the reason for this is that if you are using Cover Flow view, that's your primary method of navigation and thus that pane should be the one that enlarges when you scale the window up. If you are using the list below, you probably should just use the list view instead of Cover Flow. That does seem to be the logic anyway.

Can't get Cover Flow to keep previous window settings, help?

I'm sure that there is some easy quick fix to this but I couldn't find it anywhere doing various web searches. Anyway, I'm new to Snow Leopard and I've noticed a very irritating difference/glitch/whatever between it and Leopard.
I am a graphics guy and I always used Cover Flow in Finder to search through my documents and files and heap of images. The old Cover Flow view always opened new windows to the size and proportions (image vs. text) as my previous window(s). In this new Snow Leopard that I installed, whenever I open a new Finder window in Cover Flow it gives me this huge 90% image view with just this small 10% file texts at the bottom of the window. Each time I have to click and drag the divider bar back up to the 50% line. If I click on a file, again, the view jumps to this flippin' huge image view and I have to drag the divider back up to the middle.
Is there anyway to get Finder to be like in the old Leopard where it remembers that I want Cover Flow to always be a 50/50 split between seeing the images and the file names? Its driving me crazy. I would assume there is just some little button or something that I am missing. Thanks.

I gave that a try and it "kinda" works but doesn't really solve the annoyance. If you resize it again in the slightest or shift the divider bar, the whole thing jumps back to the 90/10 view. Why!?!?! Does that not drive anyone else insane?
Thanks for the duct tape fix though Captfred. I can at least use that in the mean time. I really hope they fix that problem with the next update. It worked just fine before, but now it makes cover flow somewhat unusable.

Shuffling genre using cover flow not possible

Hi,
Using iTunes to play music over the home stereo became so much nicer with cover flow, however, you cannot shuffle, for example by genre, when using cover flow. Using list view I selected the genre and shuffle, then switched to cover flow, and it starts shuffling all songs in iTunes and does not stick to the selected genre. I guess this is because it looses the browser even if you don't use full screen mode. I could of course create playlists for all genres but this seems to be excessive use of playlists, especially because it's not necessary for anything else.

Yeah the Cover Flow option is checked when I click it. I have checked it again and it is still checked - but it still appears as the picture shown above.

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,

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.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

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.

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

Help, I just subscribe Adobe CC and I still can't use Adobe Muse.

Help, I just subscribe Adobe CC and I still can't use Adobe Muse. It still said my trial has expired. and ask me to put the serialnummer. What should I do ?

Hello,
As confirmed by you Muse is asking for serial number on launch. Most of the time this happens because of Hosts file on the machine.
Please go ahead and rename the hosts file on your machine and you should be all set. here are the steps for both MAC and Windows.
Windows:
1. Go to following location. C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2. Rename the file "Hosts" to "hostsold"
3 Relaunch Muse and sign in with your Adobe ID, you should be all set.
MAC:
1. Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder
2. Type /etc and hit Return
3. Rename the file "Hosts" to "hostsold"
4. Relaunch Muse and sign in with your Adobe ID, you should be all set.
Regards
Vivek
