Artwork not showing up in iTunes?
Hey everyone,
I just submitted a podcast for approval last night and it was approved this morning. Most of the information is showing correctly in the iTunes store, but the 300X300 jpg image I set up in libsyn is not showing as album artwork in the store yet. Also, the file will play streaming, but will not download to completion to my account.
Are these issues something that's typical of a new podcast? I've checked out my feed in RSS feed validator and everything checks out.

Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Since writing the above I've spent a few minutes playing about with iWeb. When you create a podcast, and click on the main podcast page (rather than the episodes) you should see a placeholder for the description and for an image in the top section (above the episode listing). Dragging a suitable image into the placeholder space did in my case create the correct 'itunes:image' tag required for iTunes to display it on the Store page.
You have an image there, so you have evidently done this. However I notice that it's a .png - in theory iTunes should accept both jpegs and pngs; your png contains an alpha channel so I wondered whether iWeb was baulking at it and not creating the tag.
Subject to any suggestions you get if you post in the iWeb forum, I can only suggest that you try replacing the existing image with a jpeg, which ideally should be 600x600px (though iWeb may limit you as to that).
If you do this, it may take some time for iTunes to update - new episodes normally appear in 1-2 days, but for some reason images can take a lot longer.

Another "Album Artwork not showing up in iTunes" thread...
I am having issues getting the album cover artwork for my brother's podcast to show up in iTunes. He is a dozen episodes in and not having an eye-catching album cover in iTunes store is a real bummer.
I validate the feed and see the
<itunes:image href="http://images.quickblogcast.com/6/1/7/1/2/327378-321716/DefaultImage/AlbumCover1400.jpg" />
The feed url is http://www.thewordsetsfree.com
1. Am I missing something?
2. Is it true that it is possible that Apple needs to refresh the cache for my feed if this is new artwork?
Someone please point me in the correct direction.
Thank you!The URL you give is of your web page. Your feed is at
http://thewordsetsfree.com/podcasts-only/rss2.aspx
and your iTunes Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-word-sets-free/id626043992?mt=2
Your image is correctly referenced in the feed and exists on your server. It can take some days for an image to appear in the Store; sometimes the process seems to get stuck and it can take quite a long time. You've done your part correctly and I'm afraid there isn't really anything further you can do about it.
If you ever decide to change the artwork you need to give the image a different filename because of the cacheing, otherwise the Store won't know it's changed. -
Podcast Artwork not showing up in iTunes
I have a new podcast which was recently approved by iTunes. All appears to be well with the feed setup, but the artwork is not appearing properly in iTunes. I have checked the setup on my end and the raw feed XML, and I don't see the problem, as the URL to the artwork image seems to be specified correctly. Here is the feed:
http://www.bighillsoftware.com/category/podcasts/runtime/feed/
The <itunes:image> tag is present and points to the proper image. Any ideas on how to get the image to show up properly?
Thanks,
BradiTunes caches the image, to save reading it off the server every time someone looks at the Store page, but can take some days before it appears in the Store. I can't give you an exact timing, but I wouldn't be surprised at 7-10 days. The feed and the image are OK, so it's just a question of waiting.
When you add new episodes to your feed they will appear immediately for subscribers but will usually take 1-2 days to appear in the Store - again, due to cacheing, this time of the feed itself. -
New Beatles albums - track names and artwork not showing up in iTunes 9.0
Has anyone else bought the new Beatles remastered CDs and tried to import into iTunes 9.0?
All that shows up is Track 1, Track 2 etc and no album art.
Is this due to there being video on these albums too and how can one deal with this issue?It is because they have not yet been added to the database that is used to provide the track information.
When you insert a CD into your computer and it appears in iTunes, the iTunes software connects to a database and looks for the track names for the CD. If it finds the CD in the database the track names are downloaded and use to tag the music.
The album art on the other hand is provided by the iTunes Music Store, so if an album is not available in the iTunes Store than you cannot get the album art for it. As the Beatles are not yet available in the iTunes Store you will not get the album art. -
Want to change podcast artwork: not showing up in iTunes Store
Hi. I want to change the icon/artwork for my podcast.
My website (created with iWeb) = www.manleywoman.com
My podcast in iTunes Store = Manleywoman SkateCast
I use Garageband to create my podcast, then save to iWeb, then save to iTunes. So I changed the artwork on the podcast itself in Garageband. That worked fine and shows up properly on my website and on the episode for which the artwork was changed. I thought that changing the artwork on the podcast RSS page of my website would automatically change it in the iTunes Store, but so far no luck.
Can someone walk me through how to make the proper artwork show up in the iTunes Store? Right now it's just a broken link. ThanksYou can update your artwork via feedburner.
1. Go to feedburner.com and log in to your account.
2. Click on your feed for the show.
3. Click on the OPTIMIZE tab at the top, then click SMARTCAST on the navigation bar to your left.
4. Under PODCAST IMAGE LOCATION you can add the url to the image you want to use (store it in your site folder somewhere).
You can also add in keywords, and description as well.
Hope that helps. -
My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app
My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.
Feed: http://www.thelegalseagull.com/feed/podcast
iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-legal-seagull-podcast/id886005819?mt=2
Thanks!OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone.
Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone. Why is this?
I am having the same problem, i edited everything multiple times, sometime my album artwork will show up and then disappear after time. I have tried everything, even wiping my ipads music library and changing each file to AAC format, the artwork remains in my itunes when i pull up a song but as soon as i transfer the music to my ipad, everything loads successfully...EXCEPT the album artwork. Really annoying!! I really wish i could find an answer before I load all of my music back on and just give up on the search for answers,
please get in touch with me if you find out how to fix this and i will do the same for you.
I have twitter, facebook, myspace, tumblr, about me, google & aol
thank you

Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

Ok, I know this question has been asked before, and answered. And this is happened to me before on my old 30gb IPod, but I just got the 32gb IPod Touch, and it happened yet again on this IPod. With my old IPod I fixed the problem by doing this:
"This is how:
1. Select your iPod in the Devices part of iTunes.
2. Select the Music tab.
3. Uncheck the "Display album artwork on your iPod" checkbox.
4. Click Apply. The iPod will start to update.
5. After all artwork is removed, check the previous checkbox again, and press
apply. This should fix it!"
It worked on my old IPod, but I was going to do it with my new IPod, but I can't find the "Display album artwork on your iPod."
Where is it? I don't know where to find that setting anymore!I'm also having this problem. I have an iPod 60G Video. The artwork was showing correctly on it until I updated the iPod software to 1.1. All of the artwork is showing correctly in iTunes, but none of it is showing on the iPod itself. I read in another iPod forum that if you go into the iPod options/preferences and uncheck, sync, recheck, sync the "Display album Artwork on you iPod" it has corrected the problem. However, with me, it has not.
I'm using iPod software 1.1 and iTunes 6.0.2.23. Apple support suggested that I restore my iPod and put everything back on. However with more than 7000 songs and several days worth of putting together the album artwork for all of it, I'm not exactly excited about having to redo it all.

How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either. I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either. Anybody...?
Thanks!there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store. To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.
