No author showing for podcast? Title Wrong? (using feedburner)

Hi There,
I've done everything myself up until this point and now I'm stuck. I am using Feedburner to get my podcast onto iTunes, but now that I have it on iTunes it doesn't look the way it should. the title is messed up (The Hollywood Persona » Podcast) it has » Podcast on the end for some reason. The Podcast also has no author, it says by unknown. Where did I go wrong and is there any way to fix it?
MY feedburner is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheHollywoodPersonaPodcast
and my podcast is at: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/hollywood-persona-podcast/id939473156
Thanks, Mitch

The title in the feed is 'The Hollywood Persona » Podcast' and this is what shows in iTunes. You will need to amend this in Wordpress.
There is no 'itunes:author' tag, which is why the author is shown as 'Unknown'. You will need to add this tag either in Wordpress or Feedburner.

URL Title option not showing for podcast.

I'm trying to show the URL I have entered for a chapter in my podcast. However, the checkbox for "Displays URL" is grayed, and I cannot click on it. I have no idea whether this is because of something else, or whether I skipped over something. Please help. Thanks!

iTunes is not using the Feedburner-generated feed (which appears to be what you quoted: I can't examine the original because you haven't quoted the URL): it is using the Wordpress-generated feed which presumably you also submitted to Feedburner. This feed does not contain an 'itunes:image' tag, which is why there is no image in the Store.
No amount of messing about with the Feedburner feed xml is going to affect the Store. You need to either a) add the appropriate tags to the Wordpress feed at the URL quoted above, or b) put a redirecting tag into that feed so that iTunes will transfer its attention from that to the Feedburner feed - the method is described here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
Be extremely careful if you choose option 'b': if you make an error in the URL for the feed you are redirecting to you will *not be able to get iTunes back to the correct feed*; and once you are using Feedburner's feed you will not be able to get at it to redirect away from it should you ever wish to do so in future. You should also make absolutely sure that the Feedburner feed is OK - check it at

Image not showing for podcast

Hello, I can't seem to get my image to show in my podcast. Everything else checks out OK. prettygoodgig uses Wordpress and feedburner. The image shows on the feedburner site. It has been about 3 weeks and still does not show in itunes.
I have tried changing the name and location of the image but have had no luck.
Here is the xml code for the podcast up to the first episode:

0 items showing for podcast?

Hoping for some guidance here - especially if Saint Roger is listening...
I've been podcasting since 2008 with a show that's been included on iTunes for longer than I can remember here:
http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=280382058
The episodes are fed from Blog Talk Radio here:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/scottfox.rss
We've changed nothing in our settings for years.
About 10 days ago suddenly all of our past episodes disappeared from iTunes but we'd sure like to get them back.
2 emails to Apple Support have gone unanswered.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks very much.

The feed you link to is OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes, where lots of episodes show.
However that's not the feed the iTunes Store is using. It's using the feed at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/clickmillionairesradio
This has only one episode, and the 'enclosure' tag in that contains the URL of an rss file, though I couldn't get it to load. As the episode has no playable media iTunes does not show it.
Evidently something has gone seriously wrong between your original feed and Feedburner.

ITunes podcast title vs. Feedburner feed name vs. Wordpress Category

Hello all,
I just had my podcast approved and listed on iTunes, yay!
Now, my problem is as follows:
I have a specific category on my Wordpress site which generates a feed that is then "burned" by Feedburner. iTunes then links to my Feedburner feed. So far so good.
The problem is that instead of picking up the feed name that I set up on Feedburner, iTunes is picking up my Wordpress category name. When opening the Feedburner feed, the feed page also shows the category name instead of the name I set up when signing up for the Feedburner account.
This is probably more of a Feedburner question rather than an iTunes question (now that I wrote it all down!)
Any insights? (I've already done the "SmartCast" setting-up on Feedburner)
Thanks!

GORS,
Wow, I guess I should have posted it then. Now I'm not 100% sure I remember what I did.
On Feedburner, you can click on "Optimize" then, right under your feed title at the top of the page, click on "edit feed settings." You can edit the name of the feed there.
And don't forget to re-sync the feed after the changes. Also, remember that iTunes will not pick up the changes right away.
Let me know if this works for you.

Authorized Partners for Release Orders with customer hierarchy

Hello everyone,
      I have created a value contract with order type WK1, in the order type WK1 configuration, choose rule B for check partner auth. field, namely we want to use
customer hierarchy to detemine the sold-to-party for the follow-up release order. Also I have created the customer hierarchy with hierarchy type A. There are
four levels under this hierarchy, it contains four customer nodes and four customers. Every customer is belong to a customer node. The partner determination
for the customer hierarchy have alredy done, I can see the customer hierarchy "1D" at the partner tab of header in the contract, but when I release the sales
order against the contract, input a low-level customer number, still got the message "partner X is not authorized to release from contracts.".
     I want to know if I missed some settings in order type configuration or the copy control from WK1 to OR. If this scenario need integrate with CRM system? I
have found some related information, just list below:
    Partners in the hierarchy (Rule B)
If the partner who wants to release against the contract is the sold-to party of the contract or at a lower level in customer hierarchy to the sold-to party in the contract, the system accepts the partner as the sold-to party for the release order.
If rule B is defined for the contract type, you can search for authorized partners for a release order using the contract number. Equally, you can search for the relevant contract for a release order using the partner number. In this case, the partner authorization rule is irrelevant.
Prerequisites
If you wish to use group hierarchies other than pricing hierarchies to determine authorized partners, you must have created a hierarchy category and a hierarchy:
To create the hierarchy category, go to Customizing for CRM under Master Data --> Business Partner--> Business Partner Group Hierarchy.
To create the group hierarchy, go to the SAP Easy Access Menu and choose Master Data --> Business Partners --> Maintain Group Hierarchy.
Note that you can only create group hierarchies in the SAP GUI and not in the People-Centric user interface.
You must have activated the necessary settings for the sales contract and the release order in the IMG for CRM. For more information, see Transactions ---> Settings for Contracts -->Define Settings for Authorized Partners.
Thanks!

Exporting for Podcast

I'm trying to export some of our shows for Podcast, however when I export in the iTunes Video Large (.mp4) format, I end up with nearly every other frame being a flash of bright green.
Anybody know what is the best way to export a video (with audio) for podcasting? Thanks

First, if you downgrad to QuickTime 7.4.5 all should be ok.
I did notice that I see the flashes when viewins on a windows Vista machine. When I transferred the mp4 files to my iPod, they played fine.

Automatic Update for podcasts doesn't work

The hardware/software:
iPod Classic, updated to the very latest version of the software.
iTunes, also updated to the most recent version.
Mountain Lion.
17" MacBook Pro.
I subscribe to quite a few podcasts (>50). Until recently, iTunes would automatically update them--check for new episodes and download them--automatically once every hour. Since I updated something--whether it be iTunes, MacOS, or something else--this automatic check simply doesn't happen.
If I go into iTunes under Podcasts, there is a "Settings..." button at the bottom. I click this and this is what it says:
Check for new episodes: EVERY HOUR
Settings for: PODCAST DEFAULTS
[checked] Use Default Settings
When new episodes are available: DOWNLOAD ALL
Episodes to keep: ALL UNPLAYED EPISODES
So it should, every hour, get all new episodes, download them, and quietly delete played episodes (I allow auto-delete).
It doesn't. I have sat and watched it. Nothing at all tries to update. So I end up manually updating--clicking the "Refresh" button--a lot.
I have spot-checked most of my subscribed podcasts, and each of them has the "Use default settings" checkbox checked, and every single one has "Every hour" selected.
(As a secondary issue: If I go in and set a single podcast to not update or to update less frequently, it resets the default to whatever I set for that podcast. This can't be right, can it?)
Any ideas? Have I missed a crucial setting somewhere? Is this a known bug?

Use JL_Cmder utility to wipe your device memory and restore factory settings.

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

<title>"Causes of the Civil War" (Session 1), February 12, 2005</title>
<description>Few other questions in American history have generated more controversy than "What Caused the Civil War?" That conflict preserved the United States as one nation, indivisible and abolished the institution of slavery that for more than four score years had made a mockery of American claims to stand as a republic of liberty, a beacon of freedom for oppressed peoples in the Old Word. But these achievements came at the great cost of more than 629,000 lives and vast destruction of property that left large parts of the South a wasteland. Could this terrible war have been avoided? Who was responsible for the events that led to war? Could the positive results of the war (Union and Freedom) have been achieved without war? How have participants in the war and historians answered these questions over the five generations since the war ended? James M. McPherson is the George Henry Davis '86 Professor of History at Princeton University and is widely acclaimed as the leading historian of the Civil War. He is the author of Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era, which won the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1989, as well as many other books on Lincoln and the Civil War era. This is the first in a two-part series.</description>

Why is iTunes Podcast Artist Column Incorrectly Showing the Channel Title?

I've noticed that recently for iTunes Podcasts that I create, when viewing the podcast in iTunes, the Artist column (for each podcast media record) is not showing the correct <itunes:author> field for that item. Instead it is showing the <title> field for the whole category. I thought my XML may have been incorrect, but it never used to be a problem for and it still looks correct. Further more, I noticed that other podcasts on itunes had this same problem (all). Why isn't it showing the "author" in the artist column anymore? Is this a glitch in the new version of itunes?

No, I think it's actually using the "channel <title>" node, not the owner <itunes:name> field you mentioned. Mine are different, and it's picking up that field for sure.
The iTunes Specs:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html
require this tag for the channel:
<title>
This is the top level title of the whole podcast, and it should not be used for the "author" of the individual podcast "items". See the image on that page which describes which fields are displayed where:
http://images.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/images/itunespodcast_overlay2007 1029.jpg
It explicitly says that "item <itunes:author>" should show up in the column. Whereas "channel <title>" is used for the top channel title ONLY. They are not following their own specs. And if you aren't including that "channel <title>" field, then you aren't following the specs either I'm glad it works, but I'm not quite ready to abandon the specs, because they are going to find the glitch in iTunes and fix it soon.
I would like them to fix what is very obviously a problem in a recent release of iTunes. Maybe if we all report the problem, they'll pay attention:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
Just pick the "best" category and write a report to them.

TV shows and podcast for Zen microph

My son had to get the Zen microphoto. He couldn't be like my girls and get the apple photo. He claims Zen is so much better. How /where do I go to get tv shows and 'video' podcast for the microphoto The girls have tons in their itunes account. I guess I can't drag the tv shows out of itunes and into zen? There has to be a way to get video on this thing, after all it has a beautiful screen which I hope can be used for more than looking at song titles.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The Zen MicroPhoto does not support video playback. The only players that do are the Zen Vision and Zen Vision:M.
As for podcasts, goto www.zencast.com and download ZenCast. You can transfer audio podcasts to the player this way.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
