ITunes won't display my podcast episodes

I can subscribe to and download my episodes, but my episode list won't display in iTunes.

@Roger
I'm seeing the same problem. I launched a podcast last week and today episode 001 is missing.
Here's my iTunes page:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pornfree-radio-matt-dobschuetz/id872329779
Here's my Feed:

I want to publish episode 2 but I was concerned my feed was broken.
Any thoughts?

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 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.

ITunes refusing to download a podcast episode

I subscribe to four podcasts and I like to download all episodes and keep them to listen to them whenever I want to.
But I am having an issue with an episode of one of my podcasts.
As one can see in the print screen below, the episode 397 of the podcast is not downloaded, and even if I try clicking the cloud button or right-clicking the episode and choosing "download episode", it doesn't download.
I have the lastest version of iTunes, my OS is Win 7 x64 updated.
My podcasts aren't syncing with my iDevices because of the iCloud issues that obliviate all download podcasts that aren't synced.
Thnak you for any help!

In my experience;
an episode of a podcast may come from one server to a portable device, and a different server to a desktop. So if I'm correct, that could mean that only the desktop version is not working.
when I have seen an exclamation mark next the Podcast header, clicking on the exclamation mark displays a message saying "the Podcast could not be found on the server", so that is why I suspect that in this situation, it means the episode cannot be located.
iTunes (Apple) does not host Podcasts. The Store simply lists them. If you choose to download an episode of a particular Podcast, iTunes asks the host server to download the episode directly to your Library. It does not go through the iTunes Store.
contacting the Podcast's producers is (in my opinion) the second best method of getting the issue resolved.
the best method for getting the issue resolved (because it involves no effort at all on your part) is do nothing, and wait until someone else sorts out the issue.

ITunes won't delete old podcasts

I've seen other people mention this topic in other threads, but haven't seen any satisfactory resolution. For several months now, I've had a problem with iTunes where it won't auto-delete my old listened to podcasts like it's supposed to.
I have the "Podcasts" preferences set to check for new episodes every day, download all available episodes, and keep all unplayed episodes. When I listen to them on my iPod nano (first gen) and sync with iTunes, the little blue bullets disappear from the podcasts I've listened to as expected. However, the listened to podcasts don't delete themselves. It's a real pain to have to manage this by hand, and this is exactly the kind of thing that Apple is supposed to be making EASY for us.
iTunes also has a problem where old podcast episodes are randomly getting re-downloaded.
Both of these problems are very annoying. I'm really disappointed that Apple has done such a poor job of this. I realize this is turning into a gripe session, but seriously, I have three pretty major problems with podcasting using iTunes and iPod which Apple should really fix because I doubt if I'm the only one.
1. Old podcasts are not getting deleted as they should (yes, this used to work, but it hasn't for some time).
2. Really old podcasts (months old) randomly re-download themselves.
3. The iPod still insists on sorting podcasts with the newest first rather than giving you an option to play from the oldest unlistened episode. Many podcasts go in sequence, so it's a pain to have to make a custom play list every time I want to listen going from oldest to newest.
That's it.
PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 GB RAM

YES!!! These are precisely the three issues I'm having with iTunes! I'm using an 80GB iPod Video, and I'm almost exclusively listening to podcasts (yay NPR!). They take up a lot of space on my hard drive because they're not auto-deleting. They delete off of my iPod ok (though it'd be a cool feature if it didn't delete unless it was listened to through the end, but that's nitpicking), but they pile up in my podcasts directory until I delete them manually, even though I have "keep new episodes" selected.
And please, allow for podcasts to play in chronological order on my iPod, oldest on top! I think I remember reading somewhere that having them appear the other way is actually touted as a benifit?
As for the random download of old episodes, I've had that, and it's annoying, but an easy enough thing to delete or skip, and mark as played on the mac.
I had the lack of updates problem for a while, I inexplicably lost Marketplace for several months, but now it's back... Those last two problem aren't Apple's fault, I suspect; just a result of several pieces to a puzzle needing to be exactly right in order to work correctly.
Thanks for re-introducing this topic, here's hoping for a solution!

ITune will no longer download podcast episodes

Okay, as the subject line said, I can't no longer download any podcast episode. This started to happen after I updated my Norton software last weekend. Now I can't play any episodes that were downloaded before the Norton update. I can still "grab" new episodes, but they show up with an exclamation mark right next to them as if the file hasn't been downloaded, but I can stream those files as if I am listening to internet radio. Obviously, I can't import those new episodes to my iPod because they aren't downloaded files. Also, my entire library of music are no longer playable in iTune as well. As of now, the only thing iTune is good for on my computer is listening to podcast episodes through internet streaming. I'm running a Window Vista 32-bit system. Help, anyone?

I'm having this exact same problem. Here's how it happened for me:
I was in my house about to leave waiting for someone, and it dawned on me to download some new or recent episodes of a podcast. I went into the Podcast app and started them, and then locked my device thinking that the episodes would be downloading. Little did I know they weren't on my wifi for some reason. I found this out when the person I was waiting for was ready to leave so we could go somewhere and I unlocked my phone in the car. At that point I switched over to LTE and the oldest of these 3 episodes I wanted to download started downloading and was completed in seconds. When it got to the other 2 remaining episodes, they both just had the status of "Preparing to download..." With the loading wheel that tells you how much has been downloaded at 0%. Still right now it's like this. Could this just be an issue with LTE, the podcast, or any of iTunes podcasts as a whole?

My iTunes won't display the artwork

My iTunes on a jukebox setting won't display the artwork. It currently has an error message of "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
It was working fine the other day. I have updated it version when I received the error message but still nothing.
However when i select the middle view option, it shows the artwork.
Please help. The black screen is annoying!

....it's my cover flow view that is not working!!!!!!

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.
- da

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

ITunes cutting off length of podcast episodes

Help! I am having an issue where two of my iTunes podcast episodes are being cut off and ending prematurely - about half way through. I've spent half the day trying to trouble shoot this without any luck.
I am editing the files correctly in Garageband, uploading them correctly, etc. They appear fine on my website and when I download them.
The two episodes in questions are here: http://www.openworldmag.com/22-created-muse-business-backpacking-europe-fred-per rotta-tortuga-backpacks/ (length - 55:58)
And here: http://www.openworldmag.com/21-digital-nomad-ben-finnigan/ (length - 1:04:41)
On my site, they are fine, but when you go to my iTunes page (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-openworld-podcast/id896941830) and try to view them in iTunes the length of episode 21 is only 24 mins and episode 22 is 37 mins.
I am hosting the podcasts on my WordPress website and using the Blubrry plugin. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong? I have tried a bunch of things, I've reuploaded new files, changed meta information, and nothing is working.
Thank you for your help!

Well finaly broke down and gave rebuilding from the XML file a try. That's solving a problem with a sledghamer.
So yes my songs now end up in the right length, but:
It duplicated a huge part of my exsisting library, and maybe moved parts of it or maybe deleted files*. No idea which. Original itunes library was 620+ gigs and now I have two itunes librarys each 430+- gigs. Look forward to figuring that out!
It turned a massive number of my Podcasts into songs. So that will be fun to disentangle.
iPod and iPhone preferences don't copy, so I have to rebuild all my phone sync settings.
So basically, a really crappy fix unless you have a small library and don't use podcasts.
Better solution needed Apple!!!!!
*I was one of the lucky bastards who had iTunes delete hundreds of gigs of podcasts on r11. So I have no faith in it not doing it again.

How do I stop having iTunes show multiple copies of podcast episode on iPhone?

When I sync my iPhone to my computer with iTunes, iTunes appears to show multiple copies of the podcast episodes on my iPhone.
How can I correct this? I'm running the latest copies of iTunes and I'm using Mavericks. The iPhone is a 4S running the latest iOS.
Thanks,

I know this is a little bit old, but I started having this problem, and this thread was one of the ones that showed up. I believe I figured out a little bit more, at least in my instance.
I have a 5C, running the latest iOS, and the latest iTunes running on the latest Mavericks.
If you're having what I'm having, you don't see multiple copies browsing the iPhone Podcasts app; you only see the multiples when you go to "on this iPhone" in iTunes, or click the device in the sidebar. I had a similar issue; I was seeing something like a dozen copies of the same Freakonomics podcast, and often another one was getting added after I synced.
I checked my iPhone though - and I don't think there's actually mulitple copies of the file, despite what iTunes is telling me.
On the iPhone itself, go to "settings", and then "general", and then usage. This screen will tell you how much storage each app on the phone is using. If you click "Podcasts" on this list, the next screen will break down the storage used for each podcast. I took note of the size it was reporting for podcasts that showed duplicate copies in iTunes; and then added up the file size for the number of files that *should* have been on there. Three episodes should have been something around 80 MB, and that's exactly how much the Podcasts app said it was using. Had I actually been storing 12 copies of the same episode, it should have been much larger. (The numbers here are rough guesses, I don't remember what they were exactly at the time, but was exacting when checking, and the math did check out.)
I also checked the sum total size of the podcast audio files on of my laptop, and the Podcast App reported using pretty much exactly the same storage for all audio files as if I added up a single copy of all files that *should* be there for the podcasts I expected to be on the phone.
So while this seems like yet another screw-up behaviour of the Podcast App, at least in my case, it doesn't appear that it's something to worry a whole lot about, as the poodcasts aren't eating up space on your iPhone, at least if you're only seeing the duplicates while browsing the device in iTunes. Still another item on the list of reasons the default Podcast app needs to be fixed, though.
When I finally listened to the podcast in question, and it became marked for deletion (and at that point shows a "cloud" icon next to it, which I believe means the file itself is actually already gone from the device, and the "deleting" in 24 hours is just the item being removed from the list) the duplicates all disappeared from the iTunes view.

ITunes won't sync HD Podcasts to iPad

My iTunes (every version since the iPad 3G came out) will not transfer HD podcasts to my iPad. It reports that "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library, including.... were not copied to the iPad... because they cannot be playe" (yes, it drops the "d" at the end of that)... HD movies play fine. And, if i directly download the HD podcasts to the iPad, they WILL play just fine. Why won't iTunes transfer them if it CAN play them (theoretically and by direct download to the iPad) I'd rather control it all through iTunes than have to individually download HD podcasts to the iPad. Is this a bug?

Here's the reason why...
iTunes on the desktop is very strict about the video you can sync to the iPad. If the video falls outside the guidelines (*see below) for videos on the ipad, iTunes won't transfer the video.
I just downloaded a full HD podcast video from iTunes to my iPad and desktop computer. Both of these videos play just fine. When I synced the iPad to my desktop computer iTunes would not transfer the video to the iPad. The video is 1920x1080, this outside the guideline for iTunes to transfer the video to the iPad.
The iPad is capable of playing a 1080p videos. When i need to send a 1080p to my ipad I use the GoodReader app to do so. It is iTunes (on the desktop) that is placing these restrictions on the videos that can be transfer to the iPad.
If you want to you can voice your opinion to Apple:

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 only showing my first Podcast episode

I added my podcast feed and after approval only one episode showed up. I have now done two more episodes over the last two weeks and they don't appear in Itunes. Anyone know why?
Thanks in advance!

As you upload new episodes, you have to make sure that the XML file for your RSS feed is being updated (you have to do this manually unless you have software that automates it.) and add a new '<item>' section for each new episode. Episodes are listed in date order (based on your pubDate tags).
ALSO... iTunes only scans your URL once per day. Your new episodes may not appear in the iTunes store page for as much as a day -- although I think they'll show up for users who have subscribed to your podcast almost immediately (because once someone subscribes they don't actually need the iTunes store anymore to find your podcast or new episodes.)
In the tech help for podcasters, Apple does describe how to craft a 'PING' URL which you can use to force iTunes to attempt to see if your feed has updated (without waiting for the daily update that they normally do).

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.
