My podcast is not showing in the subcategory

Good afternoon.
My podcast was recently approved and added to the iTunes store. When I view the store page for my podcast I see that it is listed in the Games & Hobbies category, but not down to the Video Games subcategory.
How can I get my podcast into the Video Games subcategory? From what I can tell my rss xml is correct.
Here is my feed url: http://monitortans.com/?feed=podcast
Here is the iTunes url: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=340867448
Thanks.

Searching the Store by the title of your podcast showed it as being in 'Games and Hobbies' in the search results.
However the actual Store page shows the category as 'Video Games'. I don't know why iTunes makes this distinction, but it's the way it's set up and you can't change it - your feed is correctly constructed.

  • My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

  • My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app

    My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
    I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
    I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.

    Thanks!

    OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

  • Podcast graphic not showing Iweb rss not the same as Technotes

    I noticed that the graphic for my podcasts are not showing in itunes. Pinged and changed them to 300*300 jpg.and changed name of file and you can get to the file from the url. Week later still no change but text updates ok. Just have the generic file. Also the categories in Iweb are out of date so need to use a find and replace to fix them al the time.
    Anyone else got the same problem?

    iTunes is having a problem at the moment with cover art
    http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=408
    so don't worry too much about that.
    Make sure your rss feed is all ok by going here http://www.feedvalidator.org/
    and putting in your fee which is
    http://web.mac.com/yournameondotmac/iWeb/(yoursitename)/(yoursitename)Podcast/(yoursitename)Podcast.html
    Fill in all the(yoursitename) with your sitename like jeffrobinson.
    Now yours may be different but you can see the path by going to your .mac in the finder and looking in the Web folder, then the sites folder, then the iWeb folder, and there is your site name on the enclosed folder. Remember that any spaces in a name are %20 in the url. Clear as mud eh?
    The other way is to look at your iWeb site in iWeb, find your podcast page on the left and the first main page of your podcast is the rss feed you need to validate so surf to it in safari and copy the url and put it in the validator above. Look at the results and tell me what they are or just send me the url here and Ill have a look for you. OK?

  • Synced podcasts not showing unless the app is reconnected to a network

    If I sync podcasts and don't open the app before getting off the network (say, getting on the subway) the podcasts will not appear in the app until I get back on a network. Is this something that can be fixed on my end or just another flaw in this app? (I miss the days when iTunes covered my podcasts.)
    I've also unsubscribed to my podcasts on my iPhone because it's wrecked havoc on my syncing with my Macbook. I'm not sure if this is why I'm having this problem.

    If it's not in the app store, it's not approved for the iPad.

    Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

    Hello, ted_marx38. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID.  If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • Podcast items not showing on Podcast Page in iTunes App

    The Podcast items of the following Podcast are not showing when I choose to see the Podcast page within iTunes App: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/podcast/uzh-news-video-und-audio/id626789977?l=en
    It's possible to subscribe to the podcast, and all items are being shown in the library as well, but not in iTunes Store View within iTunes App.
    Please help : )
    Devices: Desktop (iTunes 11.02), iPad 2 & iPhone 4S (both with latest iOS) - same problem everywhere

    Hi Roger
    Many thanks for your very fast answer! : )
    In the meantime, we scanned the XMLfrom the RSS-Source (http://www.uzh.ch/news/topics/multimedia.rss) but we could not confirm any missing </image> closing tag.. : /
    You're speaking of 21 instances of 'image' tags while there are only 20 items available in this feed - maybe the 21st might be the <itunes:image... />-tag (for the podcast art) which is not in need of a closing tag?
    We know that iTunes doesn't like our image tag on item level. However, we do need this tags for other usage of this video-article-feed (f.ex. normal RSS feed subscribing) which is why we cannot remove it. But: do you know of any «trick» of specifically blocking that element for iTunes store since its troubling the latter so much?
    Many thanks again, and our kindest regards to you and beautiful Londontown : )

  • Podcast art not showing up in iTunes

    Hey Guys,
    I recently startd a music podcast using blogger / feedburner.  It was approved and is appearing in iTunes, but the artwork is not showing in the store.
    I had originally used a 1400x1400 png image per apple's instructions, but just switched it to a jpg after reading somewhere that jpg is now the preferred format.
    Any Ideas ?

    PNG should be perfectly OK, but JPG is fine. Your image is correctly referenced in the feed and exists on the server; the Store can be quite slow to pick up images, so I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting until it does.

  • Podcasting: Duration not showing & Podcast does not play on ATV

    I have a couple of issues:
    1. I uploaded our last podcast episode yesterday. Everything seems to work fine but the duration of the podcast is not showing on iTunes. I checked the XML file and everything appears to be just like the past podcast episodes. What am I doing wrong?
    2. When I try to play my podcast on my ATV, it just gives me an error message... something like UNABLE TO PLAY PODCAST RIGHT NOW... I don't remember.
    Does someone have a clue of what might be taking place here and how to solve it?
    Thanks!
    ART

    The duration is correctly referenced in the feed: it appears when subscribing. Someone else has just made a similar complaint (though all but one of his durations were missing) so I'm wondering whether you've both hit some sort of odd glitch in the Store. It may sort itself out eventually - there isn't really anything you can do as you haven't done anything wrong.
    I'm not familiar with the ATV. I can see no obvious reason from the files why there should be a problem and can only suggest you ask in the ATV forum.

  • Podcast description not showing

    Hi,
    The description of podcasts is not showing on my iPhone 5, although they appear clearly on my PC in iTunes. How do I correct this?
    Many thanks,

    The feed registered with iTunes is at
    http://www.comopromovermimusica.com/category/podcast/feed
    iTunes is not using a Feedburner-generated feed so any amendments in Feedburner are having no effect.
    Your feed does not contain the 'iTunes declaration' at the top, nor any of the required tags for this information to show - 'itunes:author', 'itunes:subtitle' and so on. This I imagine is something you would need to address in Wordpress, but I can't advise on that.
    Any ht_access modifications are not likely to have an effect (though possibly a 301 redirect may). If you want to move iTunes to the Feedburner feed the correct method is to add a special tag to the feed, following the instructions here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
    However this will have no effect if you don't have the itunes declaration at the top, which should look like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
    This is necessary for iTunes to be able to read the 'itunes:...' tags.
    This page may help you in showing how a feed should look:

  • Podcasts do not show in ipod?

    I follow all the instructions in the manual but podcasts do not show in my ipod. What am I missing?

    Which iPod shuffle model do you have?  This document shows the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
    1st and 2nd gen work a bit differently from 3rd and 4th gen.
    Assuming it's the current 4th gen shuffle (or 3rd gen), podcasts on the shuffle do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.  This document shows how to set up and use VoiceOver.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
    NOTE:  If you put podcast episodes on playlist in iTunes, and sync that playlist to the shuffle, the podcasts will only play if the shuffle's power switch is set to the play-in-order (middle) position. 

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC.  I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it.  These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

    I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.
