What happened to Cover Flow in iTunes 11?

This upgrade is not as good than iTunes 10 was. I used cover Flow all the time an now it´s gone. How can I downgrade to iTunes 10 till Apple implements Cover Flow again in a new release of iTunes?

Totally agree! I downloaded latest i-tunes - and how I wish I could take back that moment.
I have thousands of music files and I used to be able to see them as a split List and Cover Flow which was perfect for flicking between Album/Artist/ Name etc whilst being able to scroll through the visual reference of Album Covers.
Something that all lovers of music have enjoyed for years. It echoed the experience of rifling through record collections.
i-Tunes used to be good for archiving all my music in a relatively user friendly format.
Why have they dumped this format!
Please bring back Cover Flow!

What happened to cover flow, I just updated and I dont have it anymore ***??

What happened to the cover flow with the album artwork?? is it somewhere on the new itunes version??

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
N.b. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1 or later. Do not downgrade iTunes if you have already upgraded your devices... Roll back of iOS is not possible.
If you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How to I turn on Cover Flow in iTunes 11

I recently upgraded from iTunes 10.7 to version 11, but I cannot use it without Cover Flow. How do I turn it back on?

Apple removed Cover Flow from iTunes 11. You cannot turn it on back again.
What you can do:
Downgrade to iTunes 10.7
Leave Feedback to Apple and protest against it (so did I, too)

Cover Flow in iTunes Sluggish

I have a 2.0 GHz Centrino Duo processor with 2 GB in memory and nVidia GS video drives. But, cover flow in iTunes is sluggish. Is there any way to fix it? Is it Vista?

Sorry, but you cannot. Cover Flow is not available in iTunes 11.

Yeah, you can download them from Apple and from other sources. But then you have to add them to iTunes manually, you have to write (or copy & paste from somewhere else) descriptions, and jump through other hoops to get the same end result that used to be one-click-easy from within iTunes directly. Unless you don't care about having them neat and organized and stuff like that.
Add me to the list of disappointed trailer junkies.
This is an unfortunate side affect and agree that it is cumbersome if you wish to include all the extra info iTunes used to provide. I suggest sending your disappointment to apple via the iTunes feedback channel at http://www.apple.com/feedback

Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Apple has never seemed serious about Apple Radio. You want to see how to do this right, try Amazon Prime Music. It's terrific!

Visualizer and cover flow crash iTunes in Leopard

I don't know what's happening, but both WERE working fine shortly after I got my late 07 BlackBook. I checked out the new visualizers, I checked out cover flow in full screen, and all was well.
At some point something happened that prevents visualizers from starting or cover flow from working. Starting or selecting either will cause iTunes to hang until it quits or (most of the time) I have to force quit iTunes.
Most of the time I click "Report" and I don't even get the dialog window to send the report to apple. Everything else seems to work fine. Audio and video playback and video playback at full screen.
I tried removing ALL plugins from HD > Library > iTunes > iTunes Plugins. Then restarting. Still didn't work. I put them back. Still. The folder User > Library > iTunes > iTunes Plugins was empty and still is.
Admins:
Is that something that Apple will take a support call for? my BlackBook is only two months old and well within the warranty period. I need some help!

I fixed my problem and put details on this other forum post. I had another problem and the same procedure fixed both problems.

Cover Flow on iTunes and iPod not syncing properly...help!

When I add an album to my iTunes library, it works fine (i.e. it's grouped properly) in Cover Flow, but when I sync it to my iPod, it doesn't show up properly on my iPod's cover flow. How do I fix this?
I guess I should add that the album has an Album Artist because there are three tracks with different artists. Get my drift? PLEASE HELP!

It will probably help if we know what it does do.
Is it:
1. you turn the iPod to landscape so that covers display, but there is a problem here?
2. while in portarit mode, the cover is displayed - but in your case - what?
3. something else?
Oh, and by the way, 21 views (from other users, not trained Apple staff) in 1 hour and four minutes - probably not from everywhere in the world! (Take note of where I am.) It can take a day or two before someone who knows the answer reads your post - usually after they have finished work, getting home, eating, etc etc.

Cover flow on iTune 11?

Bonjour pouquoi sur iTune 11 plus de cover flow?
completement nul votre nouvelle version si je suis chez Apple c'est bien pour ne pas me retouver dans le mon du PC !
j'espere qu'un mise a jour rapide pour que nous aillons le choix d'avoir ou pas le cover flow Merci

Try checking your ipod settings, i had an itunes one change on its own once. Go to settings, then general, then rotate. If it says "off", then just hit the center button. If it says "cover flow", then see if it's the orientation sensor by going to the "maze" game if you have it to test it. The circle thing on the menu will probably glitch up/not move if it's the orientation sensor. If it responds normally (rolls/slides in the direction you tip the ipod), then i'm not sure. Try calling their customer service line at 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) if that happens. Also, if you are walking w/ it with the hold switch off, then it may me that your walking is shaking it enough to shuffle it. That's my theory, anyway.
BTW, are you're sure the ipod's not too flat for the sensor to register the rotation? I've done that before. It'll register at about a 45 degree angle.

Cover Flow in iTunes 8

Last weekend, I was asked to DJ my company's Christmas party at a bowling alley. I took my computer and hooked it up to their PA System, and everything went well. But since returning home, my iTunes 8, in the Cover Flow view, says "iTunes is unable to browse covers on this computer." I have run dxdiag, testing both DirectDraw and Direct3D, and both are working fine. I have gone to the website for the manufacturer of my video card, but was unable to open any page with drivers on it. Does anyone have any more ideas?

you should just reinstall it again, usually it fixes bugs on its own.

What happens to library when uninstalling iTunes? Please!!

Silly question, I know...
But as I'm experiencing the same problem as everyone else after updating to I Tunes 6 (computer crash + ipod not recognized by itunes), I want to uninstall and reinstall it...
So, what happens to all my music files after I uninstall itunes?? Will they still be there after reinstall or lost forever??
Thanks for your answers.

I always wondered if my music would be gone if I uninstalled iTunes. It does not erase you're music.
This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
I went to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

Cover flow doesn't much with cover flow in iTunes

My cover flow on the iPod is not 100% replica of the iTunes. For example in I tunes last cover is the last letter in the alphabet. On my iPod classic there are many cd showing after that point. Another example in Itunes I am showing 4 Rod Stewart CDs in Ipod are showing 3 of them the other somewhere at the end of the carousel.
I erased the ipod and started from fresh... the same thing.
Does anyone have a solution or this is iPod bug?

In iTunes you can change the order of the cover flow by ordering on different columns and can choose whether to group compilations. On the iPod the order is always the equivalent of Albums by Artist with compilations grouped at the end. The iPod also appears to give the artist field priority over album artist which can cause problems with albums that have featured artists. If your album artist has more than one album, with some tracks that feature guest artists, you may get repeated covers. This can be fixed by setting the sort artist field to the value of the album artist for each track with a guest artist. Another problem is that each album requires a unique title to avoid clashing with other titles of the same name. If you have a number of albums called "Greatest Hits" for example, when you select one of these to play it you will find the tracks from every Greatest Hits album are listed. This can be fixed by renaming albums along the lines of <Artist>, <Album>.
