Long, unwieldy Podcast name in iTunes

Hi there,
When someone clicks on the "subscribe" button on my site (barrycooper.com) and iTunes opens, the Podcast name is shown as http://www.barrycooper.com/barrycooper.com/Media/rss.xml
How do you make this something more user-friendly, eg barrycooper.com?
I've used the Inspector to change the episode/podcast name, but still to no avail. Anybody have any clue what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

If you add a podcast page, a specific textbox on the main page is used as the title of a podcast.
When you delete the textbox, the rss feed has NO title. iTunes will display the URL of the RSS feed.
With the Darkroom Theme, there is a large textbox at the top that says *Evan's world* and a smaller one that says *Travel Podcast*. In this case *Travel Podcast* will be the title of your podcast.
With other themes other textboxes will be used as the title. With the Doodle theme the small text *About my podcast* in the side bar is used as the title.
Your [listen podcasts|http://www.barrycooper.com/barrycooper/listen/listen.html] has no textboxes, only the podcast items.

  • Can no longer play podcasts downloaded on itunes on 2nd generation shuffle, is there a fix?

    Ever since the latest version of itunes was unleased (Apple is so going downhill if this is any indication) my ipod Shuffle 2nd generation (I have 2) will not play podcasts downloaded on itunes. I get orange, green, orange, green lights and then nothing - because the ipod cannot recognize the files apparently. They both do the same thing, I load, they show up as loaded on itunes, I press play, the lights. If I download the podcast from the originator site directly, they play no problem. I have the latest update for the Shuffles, have reset them numerous times and yet the problem persists. I only use these Shuffles to load podcasts daily. I remove them as soon as I listened and then put new podcasts on the next day. Why do I have 2? Because I bought a second one when this started and I thought the Shuffle was broken - now both act exactly the same. Even old podcasts that played fine months ago will not play on the shuffle any longer. Is there any fix? I assume someone else is a podcast listener and is having this same problem and maybe has a solution.

    Switch the mode to single plat, not shuffle.

  • How can I delete the titles of no longer subscribed podcasts from the iTunes library?

    I am using iTunes 11.0.3 on my Macbook Pro. In the Podcasts tab of the iTunes library, the left panel has the titles of podcasts you have downloaded, and the right panel shows all the episodes of the selected podcast. If you unsubscribe to a podcast and delete all the episodes, the title still appears in the left panel, and it causes a great deal of clutter. I have tried everything I can think of to delete those titles without success. Has anyone got the solution?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply, John. That was my first instinct, but that menu contains no delete option. This is the menu that pops up:

  • IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

    Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
    We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
    We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
    Hopefully someone out there can help us.

    easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
    I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

  • ITunes 11: In the store, I can no longer sort by name/artist/album

    I can no longer sort by name or artist or album when I'm in the store with iTunes 11.  Yes, I discovered the View Options in the Menu Bar. By when I select it nothing opens. Same for Command-J. It doesn't do anything either. I've tried hitting Command-J repeatedly, but nothing.
    The fact is, it seems utterly stupid to have this work differently than when you're in your library---by simply hitting name/artist or album in the bar at the top of the list. Having to sort lists in the Store via a completely different method than the lists in one's library is totally counter-intuitive.
    But back to my problem:  The View Options won't open for me. Anybody know how to fix this?
    I've got a lot of music I wish to buy, but I need different methods of sorting, otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to keep track of things.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I have the same exact problem.  I am using a Windows computer running Windows 7.  I was able to see them prior to the installation of 10.4.  I have this problem on 2 computers and have a hard time believing that no one else is having this problem

  • "aol screen names may no longer be used with the itunes store"

    Hi,
    I unwittingly created two itunes accounts, one with my AOL screen name, and a apple ID. Now, i'm getting the message "aol screen names may no longer be used with the itunes store", and then, "Please create a Apple ID". I'd rather not have two apple ID's, can I merge the two together?

    I have the same question ...

  • Why isn't my podcast feed on iTunes?

    Hello, we have had a podcat feed posting to iTunes for over a year now. Recently however, when I went to check that the feed was updating properly it is not longer even showin in the itunes store. I went through a Feed Checker to see if there were any issues with the structure of the feed, and a few minor tags/dates needed to be updated, but it still isn't showing in iTunes. Does anyone know how to track down the issue here?

    Any feedback would help! I sent in a support ticket over a week ago and haven't heard back!

    First up your Artwork file size is >1 MB - which is known to cause issues.  Please reduce the file size <1 MB.
    The other specs on the artwork are fine - 1,400 x 1,400  .jpg (RGB)  - you just need to change the file size.
    Look to a service like http://www.jpegmini.com  - for shrinking the file size.
    In your feed - you also have to many key words - reduce those to <255 characters.
    And for your description - make sure under destinations you go to your "libsyn classic feed" and edit it and put in your description in the "Summary" text box - the summary tag is where Apple pulls the description from.

  • How to show all available podcast episodes in iTunes 11.2.2

    Since I upgraded iTunes to 11.2.2, I can no longer view a list of all available podcast episodes. It used to be available from a right-click on the name of the podcast itself.
    For example, I subscribe to PBS Frontline audiocasts. I had deleted an old episode that I wanted to hear again. When the option wasn't available, I unsubscribed, deleted all old files, then re-subscribed. Now only the latest episode appears and there's no option for showing or downloading old episodes. I can't seem to even find the settings that instruct iTunes whether to download "latest" or "all" episodes.
    Any idea what's become of these commands? Have they been removed or tucked away in some other place on the interface or menus?
    Thanks.

    Hey SteveFH,
    In iTunes 11.2.2 you can find what was previously called "all available episodes" now in the My Podcasts tab.
    How?
    (1) In the iTunes Sidebar (the list of folders on the left-hand side that shows folders like Music, Movies, Podcasts, etc.) click on Podcasts.
    (2) Just under the iTunes Toolbar click on the My Podcasts tab
    (3) Select the podcast name you wish to work with
    (4) With the podcast you wish to work with selected, click on the Feeds link in the Title area.
    (5) Click the cloud icon of each podcast episode you wish to download.
    Note: Some of the names I've given to things in iTunes may be my own and you may need to reread these instructions if I've gotten the specific names of things wrong, such as 'Title area', etc. But you should be able to follow along well enough.
    Best Wishes! 

  • Adding a second household iMac under my owner name and iTunes account?

    We have 2 iMac's in the house. To simplify things, I added all the household iphones and ipads and ipods of the family only to my imac machine, and only under my itunes account.
    So when ever the family wants to add apps, movies, anything in itunes, I use my only imac to do this since all itunes purchaes are only under my one itunes account. All our household-family i-Devices are registered under my itunes account, so that everything I purchased can be easily added or shared between any one of the household i-devices.
    But.... on our second household imac, that iMac was originally registered under one of the kids name. They do not use itunes on their iMac (the second machine).
    If they want music or movies, or apps added to their iphone, we plug that into my imac only so everything can be shared via only my itunes account (remember, all the iphones and ipads are registered to my itunes account only).
    So they never plug their i-Devices into the second household imac, only mine.
    Soooo.... I was wondering if I factory-restore the second household imac, fire it up, and re-register that second Imac under my name and itunes acct, would this make it possible to also share all of my itunes purchases (mirror) onto that second iMac in the house?
    So in that way, they could use the second iMac and itunes mirrored on the second machine (having re-registered to my account) to load itunes stuff onto their i-Devices?
    In other words, if a person had two imacs that they owned, both registered to one owner, then signed into itunes on both machines with only their itunes account info, would that extend the itunes stuff in iMac #1 to iMac #2?
    Like having two or more iPhones under one itunes account (for sharing purchases), does this method also work for two (or more) iMacs as if both were owned by one person.
    I know.... there are probably other ways to share itunes purchases between machines and different accounts, but I hoped to keep it simple. Just have both imacs under my name, my one itunes account. Wouldn't that be fairly easy?
    When we added the other iPads and iPhones under my machine, under my itunes account, that method has worked great for sharing.
    So if someone wants songs. movies, whatever purchased under my itunes account, added to their i-Device, they just bring it to me and tell me what they want as far as music/apps/movies, and I easily add it to their i-Device. No pain, no sweat.
    I just wanted to "also" add that ability to a second imac in the house. And thought to do so, I could just factroy-restore that second imac, and re-register it under my name only, both machine now under one owner. Then fire up itunes and sign into my itunes account on the second machine.
    PS. factory restoring this second iMac is not an issue since about the only thing we would have to save off and transfer are their safari bookmarks.
    Oh.... And since my iMac has been updated to Lion via the app store, could a second machine registered under my name also share that same app store Lion upgrade? Or is Lion one upgrade per machine, per the same owner? Not installable on two machines, under that same owner?
    (Buying Lion a second time is no big beal, however)
    But mainly, my question is with re-registering that second iMac under my name, as with the first imac.
    Or think of it as if I were to buy someones used iMac, and add it to my ownership.
    Can iTunes then be shared or mirrored between two iMac's? One owner?

    I guess my issue then is just with itunes...
    I was looking at the solution the long way around originally, I guess.
    I read somewhere that one could have 5 computers (iMac's in my case) under one itunes account.
    But the i-Devices can only be linked or synced to one computer.
    Sounds fair.
    So... on this second iMac, how can I mirror my itunes media to that second machine?
    The easiest way.
    Can that be done?
    So my itunes media can be accessed on both iMac's?
    That second iMac can be apple-registered to the other family member, and still can be setup to acces "my" itunes media?
    BTW.... I do have my itunes media-purchases on an external hard drive already. Always have done it that way.
    I was hoping I could "share" that itunes media drive between the two machines. My itunes account.
    So no matter what computer a device (iphone) is synced to, the same "itunes" media will be available for syncing,
    mirrored, between the two computers?

  • How do I delete my podcast from the itunes store?

    I submitted a podcast to iTunes, but have since deleted the account on the website I was using to host the podcast. Whenever I try to use the report a concern option to delete the podcast from the iTunes store, it tells me to go to the RSS feed and change it, but I cannot do this since I have deleted the account to the website where I would change the RSS feed. What should I do?

    Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to remove the podcast, explaining that you cannot access the feed. In any case, as I assume the feed is no longer accessible by iTunes, the podcast will get removed eventually anyway.

  • Is there a way to combine separate podcast directories in iTunes

    I recently had to do a wipe and reinstall of my system. One of the reasons for doing this is because I could not get iTunes to consolidate my libraries, so they were split between two external drives. After I did the wipe, I realized I did not save the library file, so I went to iTunes and did an "Add to Library" on both drives with iTunes Libraries. This worked great for the most part, however several, though not all, of my Podcasts show up in two different directories with the same name in iTunes. When I look at the library, all of the files are actually in one directory on the external drive.
    What I would like to do is combine the two Podcast directories currently showing in iTunes with the same name into one Podcast directory. To be clear, under the Podcast section of iTunes, I gave two folders with the same name that contain all of the podcasts for that show. There is no duplication and when I check the Library where the files are kept, they are all in one folder.
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a feed through feedburner.com, then it will track stats of subscribers. It even breaks down which of those subscribers is using iTunes, Safari, or other RSS and podcatching software.
    I even have a chicklet posted on my blog that shows me the hits from the previous day from http://feeds.feedburner.com/marioajero

  • Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

    I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

    The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

  • IPad 2 Podcasts show in iTunes, but not playable in iPad

    Podcasts update regularly in iTunes, like they should.  I plug in the iPad to the computer, it syncs, like it should.  In iTunes I can see the podcasts on my iPad.  Go to the iPad (music->podcasts) and there are icons for each podcast, but they won't play.  One icon doesn't even have a title.  I've considered hitting the screen harder, but figured that was just the rage talking and not a good idea. 
    I've tried deleting them from the iPad so I could resync, which presented a new set of problems.  When deleting them from the iPad from the iPad (push on the icone till the black X appears, then delete it), the podcast persists on iTunes.  When deleting the podcast from the iPad from iTunes, they persist on the iPad.  I have tried resyncing multiple times.
    This has worked in the past.  Just recently have the podcasts become unuseable.

    No, I have not downloaded the podcast app.  Till this point I didn't see any reason to get another special purpose app when the iPad, supposedly, comes prepared to do what I want it to do.  At the bottom of the iPad screen are 4 icons, Safari, Mail, Photos, and Music.  In music at the bottom is the More tab where podcasts are found. 
    Are podcasts no longer compatible with iPads?  Do I need a special app to play them?

  • ATV sync keeps looking for long-deleted podcasts

    Everytime I sync my aTV with my iTunes library, it attempts to sync long-deleted podcasts, 18 of them from 2007. I then get the inevitable "problem" pop-up regarding how such-and-such file was not sync'ed because it could not be found.
    My iTunes currently deletes old podcasts automatically, i.e. the preferences are set to keep the 10 most recent. And I don't get the above sync problem with any of my iPods. So I am at a loss as to why this is happening now with (and only with) my aTV.
    Thanks

    i have the same problem, even telling me that it cant sync from long deleted podcast threads... so annoying.
