Itunes won't display my episode descriptions

Hey,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm pretty new at this. I just submitted my first podcast to itunes and the listing won't display me episode descriptions. Would someone be so kind as to check my RSS file?
The URL of the RSS file is
www.indigoimp.com/poweredbysatan/pbscomedypodcast.xml
The itunes listing is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=123048064&s=143 441
and the line that may be giving me trouble (but which looks ok to me) is..
<itunes:summary>All a man really needs in life is sex, beef, sleep, and a big stick to wack things with. In this epsiode the artist explains why beautiiful women must bring beef. Episode includes his beloved song "You Must Give Me Beef"</itunes:summary>
Thanks in advance!

Chemholio, welcome to the discussions!
Your <itunes:summary> tag looks fine, and if it's in the <channel> tag, will appear as the podcast description.
If it's in the <item> tag, it will display when someone clicks the circled "i". That's where you have it.
If you want it to appear under the "Description" column for episodes, then you must use the <itunes:subtitle> tag.
Check the example at

Hope this is helpful.

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

  • Itunes won't display after Yosemite updated to 10.10.1.  iTunes will play but no display.

    My Mac just updated to 10.10.1.  Now iTunes won't display on screen.  I can play songs by hitting the play key.  If as I am typing this I click on the iTunes icon the tool bar does not show up at top for iTunes, but the tool bar will show up if I shut down safari.  How do I get my iTunes app back?

  • Why iTunes is now displaying some episodes as singles not seasons

    Hi
    For some reason iTunes is now displaying recent downloaded episodes on their own at the bottom of the library page instead of in with rest of seasons previous episodes.
    Any ideas why and how to resolve?
    cheers

    I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
    You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

  • ITunes Won't Display (or Play) my Music

    I just booted up iTunes on a brand new MacBook running Yosemite 10.10, with iTunes 12.0.0.140.
    When I change the "Advanced" Preferences to point to the folder on my external drive, it has no effect whatsoever - Apple iTunes does not display my playlists and is apparently unable to find my music and media.  Clicking the annoying "Scan for Media" button also does nothing (and gives no reason as to WHY it does nothing - excellence in software design. LOL!)
    I have tried quitting iTunes and restarting.  I have also tried rebooting the laptop (which is absurd, but one thread said this was necessary? Wow...)
    What the is the deal with this?  What "magic secret sauce" do I need to apply to get iTunes to work?  This is a major P.I.T.A.

    hi - I can't log into my old ID because the email account does not exist (why I changed my apple ID to begin with). I sent an email to Apple and they responded with basically the same advice - asking for my old ID information. I have only one ACCOUNT but two (old and new) ID's that I have purchased music under. However, when Itunes asks me to authorize my music, it will not play the songs after I have authorized them using both IDs (ie changing back to the old id name does nothing). Some of the songs that won't play were bought using both ID names - in other words, I can only play what was bought really recently, not just what was bought with the new ID.
    also - the songs that will not play do not appear under my "purchase history" for my account.
    Sorry if this does not make sense. I would really like to be able to play the 100+ songs that I have purchased in the past and can no longer access!
    Thanks

  • Video Podcast - feed working ITune won't download recent episode.

    Hi:
    I have uploaded my 6 episode using blipTV as video host. Until now have not had a problem.
    Episode uploaded.....Feed is working (I tested), for some reason I nor anybody else for that matter can see episode using iTunes. Subscribed and downloaded, all episode except new one work. Pinged iTunes still nothing.
    Not sure what next step is. Very strange, I was thinking can I or should I re-enter my feed from bliptv. I looked into changing feeds and it appears I my complicate things.
    Feel bad for my viewers, iTunes is my biggest viewing vehicle....BUMMER!!!
    Help would be appreciated.
    I'm in iTunes if you search Furnitology or

    How long ago did you add the episode? Sometimes it takes iTunes a couple of days (or even a week) to update your listing. As long as you are able to download the newest episode, all of your subscribers should be getting the new stuff too. (It's just folks browsing iTunes won't see your newest of the new; once they subscribe they would get the new ones.)
    I would be patient for awhile, as lots of people on this board have been reporting that iTunes has been quite slow on its updates lately. If it still isn't working after a few days, post links to your actual feed (not to the iTunes store link) and let us have a look at it.
    BTW, are you aware that you have 2 listings for your "Watkis Words of Wisdom" podcast?

  • Apple Podcast app won't display past episodes of The Rachel Maddow Show. Does anybody know why you can only listen to the episode from the last day, and then it disappears?

    I love the Rachel Maddow Show but rarely get to watch it on TV. So I rely on the podcasts to listen to every day. I've been using Stitcher but Apple's more recent Podcast app has much better functionality (downloading episodes to listen to on the subway &amp; plane, for instance). However, for some reason (and it appears to only be TRMS podcasts), the Apple Podcast app ONLY displays the last episode. For some reason, each day, the last episode disappears from the app.

    Same here! Older episodes don't necessarily disappear as soon as new ones come in; sometimes I have a few episodes on the iPhone, and can listen to them normally. But then I'll look later, and all but the latest will have disappeared. I'll have to start paying attention to discover what triggers the wipe; my guess is that syncing with iTunes does it, but I don't know yet.
    Whatever the cause, it's odd. I thought that perhaps queued episodes would stick around if I partially listened to them (thus ensuring that they get actually downloaded, I'd think), but partially-viewed episodes and unviewed episodes both disappear. I can understand that an episode that never got downloaded might become unavailable after a day or few, but why would one already downloaded get automatically erased?
    It's also worth noting that I don't have the problem in iTunes on the Mac. Episodes there stick around in the normal fashion. The problem is just on my iPhone, and just with this one podcast.
    If anyone knows what's up, please tell!

  • ITunes won't display

    I have a Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. When I start iTunes, the program launches, shows in Processes as iTunes*32.exe - then the program will not display. This is new problem since iTunes 10, I believe, but am not 100% positive.
    Anyone else having this problem?

  • ITunes won't sync 1 episode of a season from a purchased download to my ipad

    I Bought a season of a T.V. Show and downloaded 7 episodes (about 1/2 the season) to my iPad.
    When I sync my iPad to my PC iTunes and select "sync downloaded purchases to iTunes" all the episodes sync to my iTunes from the iPad..... Except 1.
    The episode is definitely on the iPad as it plays... BUT when I look at all the episodes allegedly on the iPad through ITunes the episode dose not show as being on the iPad and therefore does not sync to iTunes.
    I Disconnected the iPad and used iTunes to go to the store and selected "Purchase" and it shows That episode as NOT downloaded!! ( but recognised the others have and are already in iTunes.
    As I said it has downloaded (to the iPad) as it plays! And all the other episodes sync to iTunes ok in the same session?
    I Could just download it again to iTunes but that's another 1.5 GB of data allowance chewed up when I already did that to get it on my ipad.

    I had this problem.  Then I changed some of the music in my iTunes (manually going through to make an album "part of a compilation" just because another Artist happens to contribute to a song, so iTunes assumes its a different album?).  I then tried to sync but only some of my music came across, got the circles too.  I did a restore of my new iPhone 6 Plus and setting it up as a new phone and synced again, but then noticed some other albums needed updating on the library so did that, tried to sync and it won't.  Same songs not coming across as before.  I am in the process of deleting the library from my phone and will try again.  Otherwise, I have to do another restore and try again.  Will have I have to restore and start from scratch every time I manually update my library?  iTunes needs sorting out!!!!

  • ITunes won't display ipod contents

    I manage my ipod manually. I have upgraded to iTunes version 7.6.0.29. I can add music to my ipod, but I can't figure out how to get iTunes to display the music that is on my ipod so that I can delete some of it. How can I see a list of what is on the ipod in iTunes?

    It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
    The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
    You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
    See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
    Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
    PS.
    There really is no need to ask the same question in 5 different forums.

  • Win Vista -, iTunes won't display my iPhone

    I've turned off firewall, WinPatrol and my antivirus - I can see the iPhone in My Computer... but the sync and backup buttons are greyed out in iTunes.  I can see it with no problem in the other computers.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes - PS iTunes will not seee my iPhone 4S or 5S - I'm puzzled

    Solved -
    By going to R/Click MyComputer > Manage > Devices > System Devices and 'check for hardware etc.. (If iPhone is pluggged in it should appear here...  PS it won't show if it isn't plugged in)
    All okay now

  • Itunes won't display cover art correctly

    When I view my music in the album list, the cover art for songs will show up very sporadically, despite displaying fine in the grid and cover flow formats. They also show up when I select "Get Info" as part of the information and in the cover section. The cover art is also tied to the music file itself.
    Is there any way to fix this? Album list is my preferred way to view my music, but the lack of cover art is annoying. Plus, I don't want to sync my ipod until it's fixed because I don't want to lose the cover art stored there.
    I have iTunes 10.0.1.22, but I was having the problem in earlier versions as well.

    Try itunes menu > view > Always Show Artwork when you're in album list view.
    The default is off, which saves screen real estate when there's a bunch of singles.

  • I can't sync iPhone with computer because iTunes won't display the device menu option anymore

    The device menu won't appear across the top of iTunes - its as if my iPhone 5 is invisible. This is a sudden surprise after syncing my iPad yesterday. Help?!

    You can only sync to one computer at a time.
    Before attempting to sync-are you logged in as the same user as the old iTunes, can you select transfer purchases when right click on iPhone icon?
