Your image in your feed looks good.
http://assets.libsyn.com/content/5798411.jpg
IT is a jpg image with RGB color - 1,400 x 1,400 pixels.
So all looks good on your feed side.
If you look at your show at - https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/barbwired-marketing-podcast/id664961697 - via a browser it does show the image.
But on iTunes app - it is not showing.
As Roger says - this looks to be an issue with iTunes not behaving well.
If you do not see it back in iTunes app by the end of the day on Monday let me know.

Album cover image missing in Itunes

Itunes added most of the album covers I have in my music library but some are still missing I have gone to google.com and clicked on images then searched for album cover images, chose a cover and saved to my desktop, but the image will not paste. What am I doing incorrectly? I have recently upgraded to I'11

Thank you, I found the answer on "More like this..." The step I was missing was clicking on file, then get info...I was able to paste my image.

Cover image missing, but was there yesterday

Hi all,
I scanned through most of the answers and didn't find a situation like mine.
- Created a new podcast through libsyn
- Created an RSS feed & submitted it to iTunes: http://barbwired.libsyn.com/rss/
- iTunes accepted the show: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/barbwired-marketing-podcast/id664961697
- Cover image and episode images were showing up yesterday
- Today, only the episode image is showing up. The cover image is missing.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thank you,
e.

Podcast Cover Image & Recent Podcasts Not Appearing

I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get the Podcast Cover Image to appear on my client's iTunes podcast page both within iTunes and on Apple's iTunes website. When I'm subscribed to it, it does show up. What am I doing wrong?
Additionally I'm having a problem with my last 3 podcasts not appearing, and I can't figure out what happened there.
Below are links to the page on Apple site and the feed I'm using, but please let me know if I need to provide more. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

feed://livinggraceomaha.org/lg-sermonpodcasts.xml

Your feed is OK, except that most of your episodes do not have 'guid' tags, and your enclosure tags are missing the 'length' attribute which should show the file size in bytes. Neither of these is serious and they would not cause a problem.
The Store does go through slow patches sometimes: there have been numerous occasions when people have complained about not seeing updates for two or three weeks, and I'm afraid that you've probably just hit one of these. There isn't really anything you can do about it. You could try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com, but frankly you are likely to get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know). I'm afraid that it's just a question of waiting.

I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Get error message: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application support\webkit.resources\inspector\images\timeline Pill Orange.png" I seem to be missing the "image file." How to fix.

Teh problem seems to be tht I am missing the "images" file. Installs to that point and stops.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

What is the required book cover image size for ePub?

Hi all
I am trying to follow the insturcitons in the Publisher Setup guide for uploading my ePub file to the iBook store. Having gone through this process with Amazon I am gobsmacked by how unhelpful the guidance is from Apple.
It is asking me for a cover image but I cannot see anything telling the required spec for this - on Amazon they tell you min and max dimensions and what the required dpi is but (unless I've missed a whole bunch of instrucitons somewhere!) I see no such info in the guide or in the iTunes connect screens.
Can someone please help me here? After googling I found these forum pages and saw that someone had said the cover image must be at least 600dpi and max height of 740 pixels - is that right? (odd as on Amazon you only need 72dpi!)
Just in case anyone can help here too - my ePub file already has the cover image included in it - do I therefore need to separetely add this standalone cover image?
Really grateful if anyone can help on this.
Many thanks
Karen Inglis

From Apple about book covers:
JPEG with “.jpg” extension (quality unconstrained) or PNG with “.png” extension
RGB (screen standard)
600 pixels minimum along the larger axis. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400x600minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
Covers may not reference pricing, the physical edition, or include any other wording that may notnecessarily be true for the digital edition.
Yes, a separate cover file is needed for display. My experience is if you have a cover for Amazon that is 600 px or greater on the longest side, you are fine with Apple.
Step back and take a breath. We all go through this the first time.

Missing cover art iTunes match

On the iTunes match I have several missing cover art,on my iMac all the art work is still there.They are missing on my iPhones and iPads.

I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like' and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
a) Name -
b) Artist -
c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
b) Artist - Daniel Powter
c) Album - Bad Day
Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

Hi, I have a problem with my CD Cover image.

Hi, I have a problem with my CD Cover image. I already released my Single to iTunes store. But the quality of Picture is bad'( Not like original one! Could you help me with this pls! Cheer's)

If I was having the problem, I'd remove the email account completely off my iPod then re-add it. If that doesn't work, I'd reset my password and try again. These are all just ideas and not real concrete solutions. Hope something works for you.

Update newsstand issue...and newsstand cover image?

Hi there,
We have a newsstand app and we'd just like to push out an update for an issue that's already available - some additional content will be added to this existing issue and the cover image will be updated, and we'll do an Update in Folio Producer Organizer
Am I right in thinking that to update the cover image that displays in the Apple newsstand we'd have to create a whole new issue in iTunes Connect?
As ever, thanks,
Toby

Sorry, I'm multitasking badly
If we update our cover image in Folio Producer Organizer will that update the newsstand cover image, it sounds like it?
And can we only update the app store/iTunes cover image via a new newsstand issue in iTunes Connect?
Toby

InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
The ADE help says the following:
"Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.
CS 5.5
The project is a book (indb) composed of multiple documents (indd)
Exporting as book as an EPUB
On general tab I am "Use existing image"
I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
It passes the SIGIL check.
The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
Thanks
Peter E. Greulich

ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.

How can I change the default cover image in iTunes?

Good evening everyone!
I've scoured the web for this info but can't seem to find it. Is there a way to change the default cover image in iTunes to one of my choosing? You know the one I'm talking about right? The transparent CD cover with the musical note in the middle of it... the one that shows up when iTunes can' find appropriate cover art for your music. I have another image I'd like to use instead, as I've never liked the default image at all. The one I have to replace it is an image of a blank CD case. Kinda cool and would look infinitely better than the default in my opinion.
Has anyone done this before? If so, can you describe to me how it's done, or point me to somewhere on the web that describes how? Many, many thanks in advance Have a great weekend!!!

I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

How do i find or replace the missing disk image for my HD

How do i find or replace the missing disk image? for my HD ........as it is missing when i try to back up with time machine,
i asked for assistance the other day with time machine
now i have worked out this is the reason i can not back up with TM, due to no disk image in my portable hard drive
I saw a post on youtube where it explains you can copy a your HD disk imag from your time machine back ups enabeling, time machine to back up
But i can not find where the TM Back up driver is situated in my TM Back up's
Some advice would be greatly appreceate as i am rather new to Mackintosh
Thank you
Aiden

Hi again.
Just re-reading your first post, I wonder if you're confusing a disk image backup with Time Machine?
It's certainly possible to create a disc image of your Macintosh HD and copy it to an external drive.
However, as a backup that method has a drawback; you can't boot from a disc image directly. It needs to be mounted on a bootable system before it can be used. So it's not really much use if the internal HD fails, at least as far as allowing you to carry on working while the repair is carried out.
Much better (and simpler) is to clone the whole drive to the external using CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper (there are plenty of others, but those appear to be the most popular).
That will give you a bootable backup which can be kept up to date by incremental backups using the same applications.
In the event of total internal HD failure all you need to do is replace the drive then boot from the clone and reverse clone to the internal to get up and running again.
Many of us use both a bootable clone and Time Machine (on seperate drives) as each has it's different uses.

Gallery title text cut off and cover image not updating

Hello,
I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now, and it's driving me mad. I've been making a book in iBook Author on my iMac (10.10.2). When I preview it in iBooks on the mac it all looks fine, but when I send it to my iPad2 (iOS 8.2), which I do via dropbox, the front cover image reverts to the default for the template I choose, and gallery and interactive widget title text gets cut off (see attached pic) regardless of the size I make it, or the indent I specify.
I've tried deleting the book several times, restarted the iPad, and whatever I do it still appears the same.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hi Christine,
When you say " It's not there when viewed outside of Cp/swf. Using v5.5.l", does that mean this problem only occurs in a specific output?
Try this -- Go to preferences-- SWF Size and Quality and under customer, uncheck Advance Project Compression, republish the course and check the results.
Thanks,

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?
You can view my video podcast at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=83434502

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

Cover image is not shown in explorer

Hi guys, I've already got a new lap which runs W7 ultimate (x64) and Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 but the cover image (the first page) of PDF fiels is not shown in Window's Explorer. Any hints?.
Thanks in advance,

try to flush the image.
   image.flush():
   g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
or try
   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().prepareImage(image, -1, -1, null);
    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
If the image isn't displayed, just try a new paint after a while (for example after 1 second).
Another way is to implement the ImageObserver interface who can announce you with the imageUpdate() method when the entire image is loaded:
   public boolean imageUpdate(Image img,int info,int x,int y,int width,int height)
     if(info & ALLBITS)
       //the image is entirely loaded....
   }
