My iTunes 10 cover flow broke. Yes, broke...anyone else have this issue?

I just started having the exact same problem, was working fine last night and all of a sudden it's turned glitchy

Hey Guys

I have had this same issue for quite sometime, was hoping that the latest update this week would sort it out it didn't. Was hoping you guys had some luck.

Was just working when it happened.

Macbook Pro 17" Core i5 (4gb Ram) (Mac Os 10.6.5)
itumes Plugins running - GimmeSomeTune Version 4.2.1 (2950)

Would be great to get this sorted without re-installing and to know what causaed it. (I am lazy like that:-)

Yep. Same exact issue here.

I have the same problem even after uninstalling and re-installing itunes, you can get full screen coverflow mode by selecting: view/coverflow - which shows it in it's
broken state, then select view again and click on fullscreen mode. This works but I am wondering why there is no full resolution from apple?

Same here on Windows 7 & iTunes 10.2.1.1
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next ver....

hey guys! so this is happening to me too, and i came to the conclusion that file "itunes library" under the itunes folder might be corrupted.

im working with a windows computer of course, i dont know if theres a file called itunes library on macs. but any way i figure this out because i thought that my computer was completely broke and my itunes wasnt working properly because if it, so i saved all my music on a different computer and went ahead on re-installing windows 7 on my computer (4 hour process because of all the drivers u have to get) so once all was done, i downloaded itunes and i put 2 songs that you get with windows 7 and the cover flow on itunes was back to normal, boy was i happy so i brought the itunes folder thet i back up back to my freshly installed OS and sure enough the cover flow looked broke again.

the fix would be to delete the entire itunes folder and delete itunes (when u uninstall itunes, the itunes fold stays there and doesnt get deleted, so when i install itunes, the folder is already there) so with that being said, if your like me that spend a whole week fixing each of my 2800 + tracks on my itunes (name, artist, art cover on which the song was released and year the song was releaded) i suggest dealing with it cuz once the itunes library file is gone, that means that all the work i put in would be in vain.

i truly believe that itunes people wont come up with a fix and an itunes update wont do the trick.

i might try some things, if it works ill let you guys what to do. cheer!

Before you do anything, make sure ur ipod has all ur music and videos because theres a tool called sharepod that allows you transfer your ipod music to ur computer in case u delete your music.

ok guys so i've been doing some research and the new itunes has a feature "home sharing" and let me tell you, this might be the only fix!

u need another computer of course, a computer that doesn't have itunes.
u want to install a new copy of itunes on the computer that DOESNT have your music. once installed check to see if the itunes folder (under ur music folder) is empty. if not just delete the folder. if you open itunes on the new computer on the left side u will notice something that says home sharing... on the computer that HAS your music (the one with the cover flow problem) enable home sharing, (i think you can do this on either one of the computers) set a password and everything, once created go back to ur other computer and u should see the name of the other computer, click on it and import all your music once thats done, uninstall the "broken itunes" and delete the itunes folder too, start a fresh install of itunes, when done u should see home sharing and the name of the computer where all ur music was transfered so just transfer it back.

so in another words:

1) share it to another computer that has a fresh installed itunes with the itunes folder empty.

2) make sure the new computer has all of ur music in it.

3) delete itunes and the itunes folder on the computer that the cover flow was broken.

4) install it again and using home sharing transfer ur music back.

all of the info of the music remained the same, i just had to do "find album cover" on all of the songs and now everything is back to normal. becareful when ur doing this because u dont want to delete all of ur music, specially when u have 2897 songs, yes i know, i added a few more songs =)

You responded to a 5 month old post with different OS that is 3 versions old and your reply has nothing to do with the post you responded to.

Lol I'm so tired of this issue that it's not within my power to even try to fix it XD
I think I'll just wait for the next ver. of iTunes and hope that it will magically fix the issue (that's very religious of me^^).
If that doesn't work - Then I'll get right on it.

yes i responded to and old post but i just got that problem on my itunes so this was the only post i found that had this issue. and no one said that they found a fix, so when i found the fix i post it in here in case someone might need it. and my post has everything to do with the with this, clink on the pic that the guys post at top, thats was my issue so yea im on the right post. and i clearly said that i have a diff OS, and again, i post it in case someone else need help. so do your homework and read the full replies before u post anything.

so do your homework and read the full replies before u post anything.

Thanks but no thanks!

alright then, so hopefully this post help you, as it was intended for to talk about the cover flow on itunes, not what im doing right or wrong.
