Itunes Coverflow is showing up black!Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

My Itunes Coverflow is showing up Black where my album art should be.  In any other view is fine (grid view) but when I select Coverflow it is completly black.  I've checked my hardware acceleration - which is to the max,  my directx, I've also uninstalled it and reinstalled Itunes and nothing.  Here is a link so you can see what it looks like. The whole reason I liked Itunes is because of this feature, which I can't see now .... If someone can give me a clue as to what's going on or can tell me what to do that would be great!!  



p.s. I've also tried to download the Safari 4 (apple program) to see if I could see the coverflow for this, and nothing either.Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0   Windows XP SP3

Have you made any changes to your properties?


Using a PC right click on your desktop and select properties

Find the Tab that says Settings.

In the lower right hand corner you will see a button that says (Advanced) - Click it.  This will then take you to another pop up menu.

Find the Tab that says Troubleshooting.

You'll see a sliding carrot that is associated with your 'Hardware acceleration'  If this carrot is not on 'Full' (all the way to the right) slide it there.

Click OK, then OK again to exit properties.

Close iTunes, Then Reopen iTunes.

The album covers should be back.  If not do as suggested before and reinstall your iTunes software.

I hope this helps.

Sup, had this problem. Fixed it, by reinstalling itunes, I didn't delete itunes, or anything like that. Just went to itunes and downloaded Itunes again, and clicked on the option to fix, and whatever reason it worked. I also read on some other post you have install something called something 9, and that same program had something else to download. I down loaded these both, before reinstalling Itunes. But I don't know if you need to. Just simply redownload it and hopefully it works

I had the same problem. Turns out my Direct X acceleration was turned off. Turn it back on by running DXdiag and make sure your direct x is working properly.

I had exactly the same problem. I went to   https://www.apple.com/itunes/    and downloaded iTunes software and installed it again. That`s all I did and it worked.

My system is a MacBook5,1 and the version of iTunes I tried is iTunes 9.0.2 for Mac OS X.

By the way, you do not need to uninstall your previous iTunes version.

Good luck.

I am also running Windows and tried every suggestion above. I had recently formatted my hard disk and reinstalled everything & the coverflow just wouldn't work. After trying all the above I finally decided to reinstall my graphics drivers and after restarting my PC, my coverflow returned - Hooray!
