ITunes showing broken chain link image instead of feed or iTunes tag image.

URL for Podcast page in iTunes:

URL for Feedburner feed that iTunes is pointing to:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/vntruecast
URL for original feed that Feedburner is pointing to:

Hello,
I am the owner of this podcast & I have been experiencing issues with trying to get iTunes to show my new site image. Originaly the feed was using a generic Wordpress image for the podcast's page and for the podcast's image in the store. Ever since I have changed images by first changing the feed image, the generic Wordprss image still shows for the podcast's store image and the podcast's page image changed to a large white background with a chain having a broken link in the middle of it.
I assumed that this meant the url for the new image was corrupt or something was wrong w/ the XML code, so I imediately switched back to the previous Wordpress image & configuration. This did not fix the problem, so I went in and then changed it back to the new one and tested the url for the feed image tag and the itunes image tag. Both urls for both tags bring all browsers to the image at that location. I then went ahead & started checking the XML code against all the validators out there, and the feed's code was passing all of them with NO mention of any issues regarding the image tags (this includes validation tests against the original feed at Wordpress.com). I know the feed is still working in iTunes because iTunes shows changes to other components to the feed like episode descriptions, new episodes & etc..
I also know that the image is fine, because I attached it to the ID3 tag for the most recent episode, (19), and the coverflow, plus the podcast thumnail view both show the image perfectly.
I have also compared my tags w/ the tags of other podcasters I know whose images are working properly in iTunes.
I feel I have done everything in my power to verify that all of my settings are configured correctly at this point. Unless there is something I have missed that you can point me too, can you please take a look at your end to see if there is anything corrupted in iTunes regarding my podcast that is preventing image updates to occur according to specs?
Please help as soon as possible because this issue has been occuring for the past 4 days with no end in sight. As a result of this issue, people who are seeing my podcast's page are going to be under the impression that it is broken and no longer working for them to subscribe to.
Thanks for your time,
John D'Agnese

Hi,
I'm having a similar or near problem with the service under:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/
Actually, we are using the services for search and lookup, respectively:
http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsSea rch?
http://ax.phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsSearch?
http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsLoo kup?id=
http://ax.phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/wa/wsLookup?id=
But, we didn't found any forum or other questin repository about the API.
Trancing the routes for DNS, the host and WebObjects server responds fine. But, the service package http://ax.phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/* is so much instable. Sometimes, this responds normally, but often it's not working well.
The problem was detected in Feb 4, but maybe its started in Feb 3.
Can anybody help me or can redirect me for the correct forum to discuss this issue?
Thanks a lot for this forum entry,
And Past

"Broken chain link" icon appears when trying iTunes store

It's really slow going trying to reach the store right now. When I do, I get all these broken chain link icons in place of pictures. Also, my podcasts are loading in a lightning-fast 45 minutes each. This is a fairly new developement, it's been about a week now. I can't find much helpful info around the forums so far. Anyone?

I have a few questions since most likely we will have to figure this out on our own. I have this problem occur a few times in a day however it is random.
My system:
Vista Ultimate 32bit
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0
Web browswer: Exporer 8.0.6
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
Ram: 4GB
Genius Settings: off
Itunes View: Cover Flow
Keyboard / Mouse: Logitech bluetooth MX5500
I have also experienced very sluggish performance with itunes store browsing/serach and have yet to figure that out. It started with Itunes 7
If we can find a common issue we may be able to figure this out as a group.

Itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..

itunes shows only 4.3.5 update even after downloading itunes 10.5 on mac..

Problem solved.
In iTunes, I selected Backup from my iPod's contextual menu under Devices. I then did a restore and all the music is back. It only took a few minutes.
These choices are only available via the device contextual menu, not the main iTunes pull-down menus.

Podcast- cover shows BROKEN CHAIN

Typical, the only podcast I want to subscribe too has a broken chain as cover and will not allow me to download. No trouble with any other site. I have latest quick time etc.
Help...

The server that hosts that podcast may be down or busy. Try waiting a day or so before subscribing again.
If you still can't play the podcast, you can have the Podcast reviewed. To submit a request to have this podcast reviewed, follow these steps:
1) On the iTunes Store, navigate to the podcast you're experiencing the issue with.
2) Click the Report a Concern link in the upper-righter corner of the podcast's page.
3) From the drop-down menu, select "Difficulty playing episode".
4) Enter your email address and any additional comments you have.
5) Click Submit.
Good luck! =)

ITunes shows 442 MB free capacity instead of 27 GB

Hi,
I have iPod Video (30 GB).iTunes shows "Used 69.3 MB Free: 442.8 MB". However, the iPod setting shows 27 GB has free. I have already restored my iPod and currently I have no songs in it.
How do I get iTunes to recognize the entire 27 GB ? Even the iPod updater (used for restore) showed only 512 MB has available capacity.
Thanks
iPod Video 30 GB Windows XP

Sounds like you have a drive letter conflict in Windows.
Go into 'Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management' and then assign a unique drive letter to your iPod. I think it's trying to use the same drive letter as another device in your system.

My podcast shows a broken chain link in the image graphic area?

I ping and it gets received, but I don't see updates and my graphic has NEVER shown up?

Your podcast is at
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=289761449
and the image shows fine on the main page for your podcast, though (as in so many cases) not the small image found by searching for the title.

Many web sites do not function properly, more so than in the past. Some now show only text links underlined instead of graphics. Firefox is becoming tiresome to use.nste

1. at https://www.usaa.com/, firefox can't sort properly.

Not a site I normally use, but I can open https://www.usaa.com and do not notice any obvious problems.
Ensure that you have javascript enabled in Firefox, and also that no security software or add blocker etc software is interfering. Try Firefox in safe mode, and consider clearing cookies for that site and the firefox browser cache.
* see [[how to clear the cache]]
* and [[safe mode]] <br/> do not make changes in the first options window <br/> just click on continue

Hey there Px13,
It sounds like you are getting an error message after a recent iTunes update. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
It will involve uninstalling iTunes and its associated applications. The links in the article will walk you through uninstalling them all.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Why won't iTunes show every single episode of a podcast in the iTunes store?

I've been listening to a podcast for a while now and I wanted to go back to the first episode to see how it all started. I went into the store but when I went to watch the first episode... It stopped at episode 287 and said "total: 301 items" even though I know that's false because there are obviously other episodes missing... I just want to retrieve earlier episodes from the store or if I'm screwed.

try changing USB ports. if that doesnt work and you have restarted the computerand itunes is up to date, uninstall itunes in the order of the article below.
assuming you use windows.

Having trouble threading frames, getting the wrong loaded cursor, not the chain-links

Hi there, I am trying to thread frames, which hasn't been an issue for me previously. The cursor usually shows the chain link icon when hovering over the second frame, but today it is showing a square icon and when I try to click into the the second frame instead, it tries to create a new text frame. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

i had put the two text boxes on different layers before to show that they were separate frames, they actually live on one layer together.

I am unable to submit my RSS feed into iTunes

Podcast RSS feed not being accepted by iTunes
I have registered my main podcast RSS feed in iTunes successfully. I want to migrate this RSS feed from feedburner to PowerPress, but I want to prototype it first before I move the real feed. To that end, I created another Blogger blog site and Feedburner rss feed that has the same settings as my main feed. The feed is using SmartCast to configure the RSS feed for iTunes compatibility. I cannot get the test feed to load into iTunes though. I get this error message:
Podcast cover art must be at least 1400x1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.
I had the artist give me a 1400x1400 pixel version of the logo in RGB color space (I’m not sure how to verify this). Here is a link to the logo, if anyone can tell by looking at the picture or site what is wrong that needs to be fixed. http://s24.postimg.org/lvuuf7v91/ARP_logo_i_Tunes.jpg
I have read as many forum posts as I can to try and solve this issue and nothing has worked so far. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my image or RSS feed that is causing iTunes to reject the feed?
Here is the RSS feed:

Broken chain picture links on my itunes store account

When I pull up my iTunes store there are no pictures and instead there is a grey outline of where the picture should be and a broken chain. What does this mean and how do i fix it??
Really annoying!!!

Thanks Nick - but why is the iTunes Store okay on the other (main admin) user's account running off of the same HD? I think it's a Quicktime (component) thing but don't know why and still don't know how to fix the broken link problem in my iTunes Store account. Have re-downloaded QT 7.5 but still no joy. It seems that all the QT components are there and okay when logged into the main user's account but when I switch to mine all the QT components have "no entry signs" on them presumably meaning that I do not have the correct permissions to access them. Have tried changing all the 'Sharing & Permissions' preferences to 'Read & Write' privilege's but to no avail. Have also tried copying duplicates of all the components through the sharing folder but it just reverses the problem. Have also tried copying all the QT components through my iDisk but again no joy. They just seem to turn into 'folders' with "no entry signs" icon'd on them. Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!

Full image links working but showing broken in dreamweaver?

All my images were displayed as relative links and worked perfectly on local host and displayed correctly on dreamweaver design view, but I wanted to change them to full links before I go live.
So I changed all the urls (using find and display) and now even though all the images work fine on localhost, on the actual dreamweave desgin view many of the images are shown as broken rather than the actual image. I cannot understand why.
Code for image that shows broken rather than image in design view:
<img src="http://localhost/mysite/images/img.jpg" alt="alt text" width="196" height="156" class="imgRight" />
Code that displays fine in design view:
<img src="http://localhost/mysite/images/img2.jpg" alt="alt text" width="182" height="133" class="imgRight" />
Is there something I am missing, am I not linking to the image correctly when I use the full url, if so why would some show and others not and all be fine on localhost testing?
Help as always much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I have attempted to load the images based on the instructions provided on the Oracle site (On Windows XP).
According to the instructions:
Once you complete the standard install, you need to perform the following steps to complete the upgrade:
1. Connect to SQL*Plus as SYS
2. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
My steps were: CMD --> sqlplus /nolog --> conn sys/[password] as sysdba;
Then, I ran the above script and receive the following error:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The system cannot find the path specified.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 287
ORA-06512: at line 15
For: 2. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
I had entered:
@C:\apex\apxldimg.sql apex
Any suggestions?

ITunes Store graphics showing up only as broken chain.

All of the graphics on my iTunes Store are showing up as broken chains and the buttons (Subscribe, Buy Now, etc.) are red "x"s. I installed the new iTunes, thinking this was the problem, but it still isn't showing up as anything.

You need to go to your software update and update to the latest version of Quicktime. I had the same issue and once I updated to the latest version of Quicktime, the graphics all showed up again and it worked fine.
