Help! 'itunes:image' Tag For Podcast on iWeb

Guys some how I have deleted the 'itunes:image' from teh RSS feed on my iweb Podcast site.
Any ideas who I can get this back?
Cheers
Phil

You've managed to change the feed address to
http://www.mod-life.net/Filmsploitation/The_Podcast/rss.xml
and you need to change it back. I assume that you have changed the title of the page from 'Podcast' to 'The Podcast'?
It still has no 'itunes:image' tag.

Uploading .mp3 files vs. uploading .band files for Podcast on iWeb

I teach high school and have my students creating audio files for podcast on my iWeb site. Most of the students give me their files in .band format, but some give them to me in .mp3 format.
1) Can I upload the .mp3 file for podcasting to iWeb without turning it into a .band file (which I have been doing).
2) When I drag the .mp3 file into the GarageBand program and then upload it to iWeb, the autopage looks different (no date, no place to write a little blurb, etc.) Is there any way to get them to look the same when using the Share>send to iWeb feature.
3) I also receive frequent corrupted files (8-bit not supported with an abort button). I have never personally receive this message on files that I have created, but I can't figure out what my students are doing incorrectly--anyone know?
Thanks for any possible help.

I am putting a link to what I am talking about--maybe that would help?

Image Issues for Podcast Subscriptions ...

Hello,
I have 4 podcasts ...
1 - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=129007909
2 - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=218809522
3 - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=218809521
4 - http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=218809523
Podcast 1 was submitted many moons ago, and the correct image is displaying. I simply edited the RSS feed for the other 3 (from the first one) and submitted them to iTunes. They were accepted.
After this, I realized that the image was not uploaded where it was supposed to be. So, I uploaded the image.
Is there anything else I need to do? Or does it just take some time for iTunes to update the podcast?
Thanks for any help you can give!
Donald B

From Apple's technical specs page...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
If you need to request that iTunes update information about your podcast immediately, you can ping the iTunes server in one of two ways: using an XML POST or by entering a URL in a browser.
The XML POST should be addressed to https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast and formatted as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>weblogUpdates.ping</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value>PODCAST_NAME</value>
</param>
<param>
<value>http://FEEDURL/</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>
where PODCAST_NAME is the title of the podcast, exactly as it appears in the <title> tag, and FEEDURL is your podcast feed URL.
You can also ping the iTunes server to update your podcast information by entering the following URL into a browser:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=FEEDID
where FEEDID is your iTunes podcast numeric ID. You can also use:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://FEEDURL
where FEEDURL is the url for your feed.
Regardless of the ping method you use, iTunes will return an HTTP 200 code.

ITunes does not display my feed image as defined in the itunes:image tag

I set up a feed using a custom PHP script I wrote. This script creates an rss file that I will submit to apple once I have everything ironed out. right now the only thing left to fix is the missing feed image. I checked the xml and for the image I have:
*<itunes:image href="http://www.roaringbrookbaptistchurch.org/podcasts/feed/images/feedIcon.jp g" />*
I checked the image in a browser and it indeed exists and displays as expected, this is a test image not the final one. It is a 600x600 jpg. I am previewing my podcast in itunes using a direct link to this rss file.
Why is my image not showing up? I get some other image, not sure where it comes from, instead.

When you subscribe to a podcast feed, either from the Store or - as I assume you have done - from the 'Advanced' menu, the image referred to in that tag is not displayed. The images which are seen on selecting each episode have to be embedded in the actual media file: please see this page -
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/faq.html#coverart
You will not see the image referenced in the feed until the podcast is actually accepted and shows in the Store.

Add artwork for podcasts using iWeb

When I try to submit a video podcast to iTunes, which I have created on iWeb '08, my album arwork is shown as a purple question mark. Any idea how to upload the artwork for a podcast?

Have you had any luck finding an answer? I've been searching and have come to no resolution.

Image tag for a tag cloud

I'm curious:
I'd like to be able to tag pictures on my site and store those tags in the database (with the corresponding images). What I'm not sure about is whether I can store more than one value in the table's "ImageTag" Column. Or would i have to create multiple columns (i.e. Tag1, tag2, tag3)? Or would the tags be stored separated by commas?

Multiple records are always better than storing lists or having multiple columns in situations like this. If you don't know why, I've heard good things about the book, Database Design for Mere Mortals.

Why is iTunes submission-site for podcasts not working?

I am done with everything and was hoping to apply my podcast syndication to iTunes, but the link ( (https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast) ) for that does not work.
Is there anywhere else to do this and how can such a central site not work? I'm dumbfounded.

That one's been giving trouble off and on for some time. Try

My ipod touch 3rd gen freezes when using the itunes app looking for podcasts

When looking at podcasts with my Ipod touch's itunes app, when i attempt to download podcasts from the nerdist podcast, the itunes app freezes and shuts me out for a minute or two. This only happens on some podcasts but not all.

Okay so, with some patience and some tinkering... It appears to be a problem with the most popular podcasts. Maybe something to do with so many people downloading it at the same time? Anyway, I've found you just have to wait it out. Keep your itouch active and from going to sleep and eventually it will load the podcasts and you will be able to download them. On average it takes me anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to get my most popular podcasts, I just keep it on the screen and keep it from going to sleep

Podpress image instead of my image for podcast in iTunes

I have my podcast on iTunes but the image that is coming up is the generic Podpress image not my logo. I think I have all the settings correct
My podcast feed - http://www.theleantimes.com/feed/podcast/
My itunes feed id 511754550
iTunes link http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lean-times-podcast-feed/id511754550?ign-m pt=uo%3D4
I had the correct image loaded before I put the podcast on iTunes.
Please help! This is driving me crazy.

Your 'itunes:image' tag looks like this:
<itunes:image href="http://www.theleantimes.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/podpress/images/powered_by_p odpress_large.jpg" />
which you can see is the Podpress image (the link doesn't work because the forum has inserted a space which I can't remove, but it is to the Podpress image). I imagine that they place that there themselves and won't allow you to change it, unless there is somewhere you can input it and you haven't done so correctly.

Image not showing for podcast

Hello, I can't seem to get my image to show in my podcast. Everything else checks out OK. prettygoodgig uses Wordpress and feedburner. The image shows on the feedburner site. It has been about 3 weeks and still does not show in itunes.
I have tried changing the name and location of the image but have had no luck.

iTunes is not using the Feedburner-generated feed (which appears to be what you quoted: I can't examine the original because you haven't quoted the URL): it is using the Wordpress-generated feed which presumably you also submitted to Feedburner. This feed does not contain an 'itunes:image' tag, which is why there is no image in the Store.
No amount of messing about with the Feedburner feed xml is going to affect the Store. You need to either a) add the appropriate tags to the Wordpress feed at the URL quoted above, or b) put a redirecting tag into that feed so that iTunes will transfer its attention from that to the Feedburner feed - the method is described here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
Be extremely careful if you choose option 'b': if you make an error in the URL for the feed you are redirecting to you will *not be able to get iTunes back to the correct feed*; and once you are using Feedburner's feed you will not be able to get at it to redirect away from it should you ever wish to do so in future. You should also make absolutely sure that the Feedburner feed is OK - check it at

How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

The image which appears in the Store page is referenced in the 'itunes:image' tag in the feed. As you are probably using a program or an online service to create your podcast, rather than hand-writing the feed, you will need to look in their Help to find out where you input the image or the reference to it.

I have two questions about my podcast on iTunes - Image and Author

Hello. I have very recently added my podcast to iTunes, by submitting the RSS-feed that is given by wordpress (that's where I have my podcast homepage) It looks allright, and the feed includes Name of podcast, title of podcast shows, description and in some cases even length of the podcasts. There's two things not showing though, and that's an image for the iTunes page, and the name of the authors.
I'm not sure if you're allowed to link to your feed like this, but here is however the feed that I've sent to iTunes: http://rodrost.wordpress.com/category/podcast/feed/ . I thought that the picture up in the right (of me and a friend) would be the picture showing up on iTunes. And I don't understand where in my feed to put in the authors. If you could answer my questions I would be very grateful, thank you.
/ Joar.
(This is how it looks on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/se/podcast/rodrost-podcast-podcast/id507886804 )

Posting your feed URL is not only allowed, it's necessary to get answers to most questions, so thank you for posting it.
You are missing some necessary entries in your feed. The second line of your feed should include the 'iTues declaration':
xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0"
which should be added within the 'rss' tag. Without this iTunes cannot read the 'itunes:...' tags which are in any case missing. The image is carried in the 'itunes:image' tag and your name in the 'itunes:author' tag, and there are other tags which carry information - your podcast is working without them but some information is as you see missing.
This page includes a sample basic feed so that you can see what I'm talking about:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
I can't advise on Wordpress: it seems likely that you need the PodPress plugin to get this to work properly, but I'm not sure whether you can do it without.
