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.

Audiobook or Podcast missing menu artwork?

After reading a few threads and posting some thoughts about audiobook artwork that seems to be missing from either the main menu or the music menu with ipod software, I thought I would do some research. I noticed that on the Apple website where you can preview demo videos for the various ipod models, you can see a short demo video for the ipod nano and the ipod classic (and the others). With both of these ipod models, there is a demo video for using audiobooks and using podcasts.
What I noticed is that the ipod classic demo video for audiobooks does in fact switch to artwork for the sample audiobook (Harry Potter) when the click wheel is moved over the audiobook option, before the click wheel is pressed. However, in the ipod nano demo video for audiobooks, the "artwork" side of the menu screen does not seem to switch to the artwork for the audiobook. What I did notice for both the ipod classic and nano is that the demo videos both show that there should also be some sort of podcast artwork as well. Both videos show a sample podcast from G4 with a yellow screen and both sample videos show this "artwork" (which might just be a random screen shot of the video file, like how the ipod does for movies/videos/etc. for main menu "artwork") on the right side of the menu. This happens to be a video podcast, but it does not provide an example of an audio podcast, because there is not much to see on the ipod screen in that case. Currently, I believe all ipod models have the grey podcast logo that appears on the right side of the menu and lists the number of active podcasts on the ipod (audio and video)...
Does anyone remember if older firmware from last year (when the ipod classic was just released) ever showed audiobook artwork or podcast "artwork" as it is shown in the Apple.com demo videos?

*** Apple! I just bought an ipad mini & expected it to be better than my ipod. Its bad enough that I lost paid audio books that I paid for because they are not covered in the cloud (I will never buy files not covered by the cloud again. And no I don't own a computer because I'm broke after spending money on a ipod that was old in less than a year so then bought your new release ipod & lots of money on itunes.) but geez GIVE ME AUDIO BOOK CHAPTER NAVIGATION OTHERWISE ITS POINTLESS TO USE MY IPAD MINI FOR AUDIO BOOKS AND DO IT QUICK CUZ I MIGHT JUST GO BUY A COMPETITORS DEVICE FOR IT. Get real Apple, I had to buy a Samsung Galixy S3 not because I like it better that the iphone 5 but because I had no choice due to your prices off of one of the major cell phone providers. Maybe I just should have bought a Galixy tab :/

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.

Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries. Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view. How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it does not get the album artwork. Automatically download missing album artwork is enabled in Preferences but the art work still does not appear in my library?

I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

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 podcasts and Vista

I am having the same problem that others have experienced with iTunes in that podcasts that I have sucessfully downloaded subsequently disappear the next time I start iTunes.
I have seen the solution for an XP system, but Vista saves the user info in a slightly different way. Does anyone know which folders to delete under Vista?
Plus, is there a fix coming anytime soon? This is getting frustrating to the point that I am ready to junk iTunes and find another program to manage and move my podcasts.
I would say that about 20% of my podcasts are being affected by this problem. What really angers me is that I have been unable to find a way to redownload or fix short of having to go into the iTunes store and find the missing podcast.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

@King_Penguin thanks for your help
See below some additional info:
I have 3 Macs:
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US.
I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

Missing Music Artwork

Hi,
I recently synced my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) and after doing so I lost most of the album artwork for my songs (I have iOS 8.1 on my phone and iTunes version 12.0.1.26). All of the album artwork is present in my iTunes library for all my songs yet on my phone most all of my songs are missing their artwork. Is there any simple fix for this? I don't understand how this could've happened since I didn't specifically tell iTunes to remove the artwork; this seems like something that would be done manually but instead happened automatically. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I Have the same issue. At all other views, album, song, lists, including landscape view, the artwork are visible. The only problematc view is Artist View; most of artist show the generic silver box! Any solutions????

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)

How do I fill in missing album artwork?

How do I fill in missing album artwork for my music library?

A smart playlist with the rule Has artwork is false will help you focus on the tracks that need artwork.
Option-(or right)-click > Get Album Artwork should get artwork from the store if the album can be recognised. Otherwise Google is your friend, search for the relevant album, copy the image & paste it in to iTunes.
Note sure if affects Mac users but there is a copy/paste bug with the current build (10.4.0.80) which can result in a blank image being pasted. Saving the image locally to your computer, and then dragging in the saved image will work around that.

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.

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

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.
