IWeb podcast artwork troubleshooting?

Here is the link to a thread about the trouble I'm having getting my artwork to correctly appear on my podcast in the iTunes store. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, same issue -- they say you can "If you have artwork you want to appear with your podcast, drag it to the graphic placeholder at the top of the Submit window." in the help menu, but the standard image isn't hotlinked/moveable.

How do I get podcast artwork to appear in iTunes?

Hi,
I am having difficulty getting podcast artwork that appears in the podcast directory on the iTunes store to appear in iTunes after I've subscribed. For example, if I choose NBC's "Meet the Press (audio)", the directory shows a cover image for the podcast. However, when I subscribe, no cover art appears on my iTunes or my iPod Nano (latest generation). When I click on the podcat image and then select "Get Album Artwork" (either by ctrl+click on the mouse, or the "Advanced" menu), nothing happens.
What might be causing this to happen, and what do I do?
I am using iTunes 10.6.1 (7) on an iMac running Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide!
Tony

Hi Roger,
Thanks for your reply and my apologies for taking longer than hoped to respond. The problem I'm having is that the cover art shows on my iPad (e.g. for "Meet the Press", a weekly American news programme), but it doesn't in either iTunes on my Mac or (consequently) my iPod Nano.
I'm not sure I understand why the image, if it's embedded, would appear on one device but not on another for iTunes?
I tried going to the iTunes store and dragging the cover art across to iTunes on my Mac, but it only brings the link across (rather than the image).
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated!
Thanks and best regards,
Tony

How to post podcast artwork in iTunes with libsyn

Quick question..
How do I get MY image to show up in the podcast page in iTunes? I'm talking about the page that shows when my podcast is displayed. There is just a default image there right now, and I would like to change it to an image of my choosing. I've gone into the setting tab in libsyn, and added an image to the iTunes submission tab, but the image fails to show. I'm assuming this is a problem with the rss feed, because no image shows in a few other podcast directories.
How do I make an image show up in the iTunes podcast artwork area? How do I do this using libsyn as my host?
Thanks

The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

Missing podcast artwork

I use the apple podcast app on my iPhone to listen to podcasts. The artwork has disappeared for my Steve Austin podcast (it has always shown up as has all of my other podcasts artwork since I got the app). is any body experiencing this and what can I do to get the artwork to show up again? I never use iTunes on my laptop to manage my podcasts I have always downloaded them via my iPhone.

I had the same problem. Just deleted the podcasts app and reinstalled it (all subscriptions and content was maintained) waiting a few minutes and voila, it was fixed.

Updating my podcast artwork?

Hi there,
We've recently updated our podcast artwork but not sure how to change it on iTunes?
Our podcast is here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/picturehouse-podcast/id393128786?mt=2
Our old artwork is hosted here: http://podcasts.simplicityphotography.co.uk/picturehouse_artwork.jpg
<itunes:image href="http://podcasts.simplicityphotography.co.uk/picturehouse_artwork.jpg" />
Do I simply need to upload my new artwork to a hosting site and drop the link in? Will iTunes pull in the new artwork?
Would it matter if I uploaded it to a different server to our podcast files?
Cheers,
Sam

Do I simply need to upload my new artwork to a hosting site and drop the link in? Will iTunes pull in the new artwork?
Yes; but you must give the new image a new filename or the Store won't recorgnize that it's changed. It will take some days for the new image to appear in the Store.
Would it matter if I uploaded it to a different server to our podcast files?
No. Obviously the URL must always be a full one (as it is at present)

Downloading iWeb podcasts without "Subscribe" button?

My "enhanced" podcast (photos & audio) in an iWeb podcast page runs fine in a QT window. But what if I don't want a "Subscribe" button on my page or my podcast published on the iTunes Store?
...How can a visitor simply download the podcast (right now) to put in iTunes on their computer and perhaps then onto an iPod?
Control-clicking on the QT window gives the option of "Save as QuickTime Movie" only if the visitor has QT Pro. But is there a way for a visitor to download/save the m4a/m4b file as a podcast from my iWeb Podcast page?
(Perhaps I'm missing something really simple here.)
Thanks.

A workaround for non QuickTime Pro owners.
Archive the file (Finder will add .zip to its name) and then use the "Link to File" option of iWeb.
A .zip file will always download and open (expand) with a double click.
Drawback is that now two files must upload which wastes bandwidth and server space.

Podcast artwork

hi all
my podcast artwork does not appear in my library after downloading the podcast, but the artwork is there in the i tunes store, can anybody help please.
the title of the podcast is electronic-mixes.com
thanks

As I said, *Some podcast providers fail to embed artwork in all their files.*
The store pages are basically scripted web pages with text, artwork & links to other pages. Any artwork shown is completely seperate from any that may or may not be included in a file you eventually download. Even though the iTunes store may have an image to associate with a Podcast, this is separate from the system which provides art for store downloads. Podcasts are generally downloaded from the 3rd party supplier not iTMS and, as far as I'm aware, only display art that has been explicity embedded in the tag.

Assigning and exporting podcast artwork

The podcast artwork that is exporting with my episodes seems to be stuck on the same one all the time. I'm not sure how to place the correct episode artwork for each new episode of my podcasts in the GarageBank window. For instance I have one GarageBand podcast project, but then I might have 8 episodes (each with different tracks) underneath. I have place new podcast artwork in the lower, editing window, but it's indicating chapters.
Is there any documentation on how to do this correctly?
Thank you,

I think it's not possible to make any cogent comment unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page; this can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image - or where it should be - and choosing 'Copy link'. Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

Podcast artwork not downloading

Hi, everyone.
I'm having problems with podcast artwork not showing up. I normally download my podcasts through iTunes, and for several feeds, album art shows up in the iTunes Store but isn't embedded in the files I download.
I always figured that the providers were just somehow not embedding the art in the individual files, but then I noticed that when I download the files directly from my iPhone, they show up just fine. To test it out, I tried two copies of the same file -- one downloaded directly to the phone and another synced from iTunes -- and got the same result: one with album art, one without.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
--Brian

Also have this problem - Even after vigorous Menu>Get Album Artwork attempts. My Podcasts look like empty tabs with zero differentiation between each other...
Come on Apple, stop treating podcast talent like chode, they're one of the only things keeping you guys from having to totally overhaul the iTunes app... how is that going by the way? I guess we'll all just keep jumping over to Spotify until you get that one figured out... Better hope they don't dig into podcasts too =/
Jokes aside, I love iTunes, but it really need the artwork to complete the experience, eh?
P's,

Podcast artwork does not show in ITunes store

I recently began producing a music podcast http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/felony-buddha/id375837423.
I am using blogger http://www.felonybuddha.com and feedburner http://www.felonybuddha.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss.
Initially I did not have the artwork url in SmartCast but I updated Smartcast
on 06/04/2010 with this url http://4.bp.blogspot.com/PuXcBmmd7sY/TAmrnudmrHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/W8kCV6S3N2U/s1600/iStock000010405007XSmall.jpg. I sent a Ping but the podcast artwork still does not show in Itunes store.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

The Feedburner feed is probably OK: it does have the declaration and the correct image reference.. As there are no line returns separating the tags it appears either as one or two long lines or as a slab of text, so it's very difficult to read, and you might want to go through your original feed if you can, and put some line returns in.
Assuming it to be OK, you have two possibilities: both involve you editing the original feed.
For clarity let's label the feeds;
Feed 1 is your original, http://www.felonybuddha.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Feed 2 is the Feedburner-generated one, http://feeds.feedburner.com/felonybuddha/MhvA
Method 1: amend feed 1 to contain the necessary tags. The top section of the feed should read:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<rss xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
xmlns:openSearch='http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/'
xmlns:georss='http://www.georss.org/georss'
xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' version='2.0'
xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
<channel>
Then in the top section of the feed, after 'channel' and before the first 'item' tag, add:
<itunes:image href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/PuXcBmmd7sY/TAmrnudmrHI/AAAAAAAAAAM/W8kCV6S3N2U/s1600/iStock000010405007XSmall.jpg" />
making sure you don't get this inside another tag (and there must be no line breaks within this). There are still other tags missing, which though they aren't essential, ought really to be there.
Method 2: this might be preferable - redirect iTunes to Feed 2. Feedburner does add a lot of garbage to the feed (intended for compatibility with other rss readers) but they shouldn't cause any problems; however there are some caveats, see below. The method:
You will need to add the following tag to Feed 1, after the 'channel' tag and before the first 'item' tag:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/felonybuddha/MhvA</itunes:new-feed-url>
Before doing this you should read this Apple Tech Note just so that you are completely clear what you are doing.
Re-upload the feed and leave it there until iTunes has changed to the new feed - this may take some days. To check whether it's changed, go to the Store page for your podcast, click on the 'Subscribe' button, go to the 'Podcasts' section in the sidebar, and click on the 'i' button on the extreme right of the line for your overall podcast (not the episode). The pane which pops up contains the feed iTunes is using.
Caveats:
Make sure you get the URL exactly right in the redirect. If you make a mistake *you will not be able to get it back* once iTunes has redirected.
Be aware that once you have transferred to Feed 2 you cannot edit that feed directly, only the feed you submit to Feedburner. This may possibly mean that if you later want to redirect to another feed you won't be able to.

I'm having podcast artwork problems. Please help!!

I have a podcast in my ipod classic. 45 from the same people. When I click to listen to the podcast, the artwork will be displayed while playing. It's in the main menu (where you can choose from music, video, podcasts) that my podcast artwork won't be displayed on the side. I've tried the cut and paste thing, and it's not working. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or get my podcast artwork to be shown? Please?

Ok. I checked each podcast, and they all have artwork, the same artwork. And it's still now showing up on my ipod. When I go into my podcast, the little artwork will show and then when I click to listen the artwork will show then, too. It's just when I'm at the main menu. And I pass music, videos, and then when I get to my podcast it just says 1 podcasts.
I don't know. I'm getting really frustrated with it now. I don't know what to do anymore. It's just really bothersome.

How do i get xml into my iWeb podcast?

i have my iWeb podcast on the iTMS and i didn't have a artist name in it, so i am wondering how i submit the xml i got from the podcasters technical support. i really want to put some of th new stuf on it.

figured it out

My podcasts artwork is no longer appearing and my podcasts are getting cut in half.

My podcasts artwork is no longer appearing and my podcasts are getting cut in half.

Your podcast image appears in the Store OK: there is no embedded image in the media file.
When I subscribed your top image downloaded and played perfectly well. I couldn't get the top episode in the Store to play.
When I entered the URL for the top episode in the feed into Safari, instead of playing withing Safari as it should do there was a double redirect (too fast for me to note the URLs) and the file then downloaded rather than playing. This sort of thing is very likely to upset the Store: you should ideally provide a direct URL to the media file with no redirects, and it should play in Safari rather than force a download.

Podcast artwork not showing up in store.

I'm sorry. I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but the other topics I found in search did not seem to be my problem.
My podcast feed is:
http://mediathresher.com/?feed=podcast
My podcast artwork is at:
http://www.mediathresher.com/wp-content/uploads/podcastlogo.jpg
(which you can see in the feed text)
The podcast is on the store here:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=372229560
But I don't seem to get the artwork! I'm either doing something wrong or there's a delay between putting a podcast up in the store and seeing the artwork...? It was only approved a day or two ago. I optimized all the feilds in both my podcasting suite for my website and feedburner, and the id3 tag artwork shows up fine when I download.
Sorry to be a pest! Thanks for any help!

It seems to be normal for the Podcast Image on the Store page to take a day or two longer to appear than the feed - evidently it's cached separately. It can take even longer for the version of on the Search results page to appear, but it all usually sorts itself out eventually.
