Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen

Our podcast shows black thumbnails on iPod Podcasts screen, im not talking about the channels logo here, that works fine.
It's when you have subscribed to the feed and the podcasts are downloaded to your Apple mobile device and you view your podcasts on screen, down the left it has little video thumbnails of the episodes.
In my case apart from one episode they all show a black video thumbnail and I want to show our logo or ideally a frame from that episode say 5 seconds in would do.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know exactly how the iPod works in this context: in iTunes, when subscribing, the image you see for each episode is either the first chapter image of an 'enhanced' podcast or an image which has been embedded in the file. I don't know what it does with movie files - possibly the first frame. You could subscribe in iTunes on your PC and see what shows there.
In any event, you should be able to embed an image of your choice in each file (you would then need to re-upload it). The method is described here:

Why don't some podcasts show up on my ipod? They appear in my iTunes library.

I have a number of podcasts in my iTunes library, but only 2 of them actually show up on my iPod (one in the podcasts section, another in the music section). I've created a playlist of podcasts, but that doesn't show up on my iPod either.
Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Hello carolefromHP,
What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's Podcasts tab in iTunes? If you are unsure of where to find the Podcasts tab, see #6 from this Apple support document.

Word 2010: Insert Screenshot from IE shows black thumbnail

My environment is a QA software testing environment where we have to capture screenshots from our company software that runs in Internet Explorer 8 and 9. Once we upgraded from Word 2007 to 2010, we started using the "Insert - Screenshot"
feature to capture our verifications. Any employees using remote desktop to connect to their work stations from home frequently (but not always) see a black thumbnail for IE rather than the IE screen itself. All other screens within the screenshot
window show properly. Just the IE ones are sometimes black.
And now one analyst is having the same problem logged in here at the office (not remote desktop).
I saw one solution for disabling the "Send to Bluetooth" add-in, but we don't have that one. Another solution recommends adding a registry entry for AllowImageProxyAuth, but no one has reported trying it and whether it worked. I did
not want my work PC to be the guinea pig for this. Any recommendations?
From other solution:
Go to "Start" button > in the search field, type: regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER >Software > Microsoft > Office > 14.0 > Common "single-click" > from menu: Edit > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value > type: AllowImageProxyAuth
> right-click this file and choose: modify > in the value data type: 1

Hi,
I can reproduce this error in Windows7 Office 2010(32-bit/64-bit) IE9, this issue only appear using Remote desktop to connect remote workstation. The problem cause by Remote Desktop session, it will lock out remote workstation Windows, Windows client
service(termsrv.dll) did not support multiple user logon like Terminal Server. AFAIK, this is a known issue, Microsoft maybe fix it new update release.
And the registry key "AllowImageProxyAuth", it's only apply to Outlook 2010 if the image is not displayed.

You can use PrintScreen as a workaround:
Start IE > Press "PrtScn" or "Alt+PrtScn" on Keyboard > Start Word, Press "Ctrl + V" to insert screenshot.

Podcasts show in MUSIC instead of Podcast

Why are the podcasts showing in the music menu rather than the podcast menu?
Thanks

Yeah I have the same problem. It would be cool if you could put it in the appropriate podcast folder it would find it and add it automatically. Unfortunately this doesn't work, so the only option I've found is to add it to the library which, as you know, just adds it with your music. I can't find a way to add a podcast you had to download not using itunes.
Is there really nobody with an answer to this question?

Podcasts won't sync to ipod; podcast icon gone

I have been happily downloading podcasts to Itunes and syncing them to my ipod nano 4th generation for months. Suddenly, after syncing two podcasts (Itunes said successfully), there were no podcasts on the nano and when I connected it again, the podcast icon under the device menu for the nano on Itunes was gone.
I have reset and restored the nano, reloaded all the songs, unsubscribed to the podcasts and resubscribed. Now when I try and sync a podcast, I receive the message that the ipod could not be synced, because the required disk could not be found. What the heck happened?

I'm having a similar problem in that I cannot a way to keep podcasts on my iPod. Every time I sync my iPod, iTunes automatically removes all episodes that I've already listened to, even if I want to keep them and they are still present in my iTunes library on the computer.
I think this is a different problem!
I've already checked the option in "Settings" that says keep "all episodes." But the iPod doesn't keep all episodes, only iTunes.
I assume you mean the settings _in iTunes_ for iTunes. To control what stays on your iPod, connect the iPod to iTunes and click on the device when it shows up in iTunes. You should see the Summary pane. Just along from there is the Podcasts pane. Select that and on this pane you can select *Keep all epsiodes* (on the iPod). Make your choice and Sync again to activate the change. If you have problems with this, post again.

IPhoto 9.3 shows black thumbnail and preview

When I import picture in portrait orientation iPhoto 9.3 creates black previews and thumbnails.
Is this a problem of iPhoto 9.3?

People have been reporting this for a while now, with no fix at this time.
Many folks find that rotating the image and then rotate it back will get them a thumbnail.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report it.

Solution for black line in Ipod classic screen?

Hello
Last week my ipod fell on the floor and since then I have a black line in the middle of the screen. The ipod is phisically intact, no scratch, not broken. Only when I turn it on, I have a big black line in the middle. At the beginning it was small dots and now it s a big line
Is there any solution? Change the screen? Or do I have to live with it?
Thanks a lot in advance
Vivile

When you drop it, the impact knock off some connection in the Display circuitry, those SMT balls, so the missing connection cause the unwanted lines.
However if you are lucky, just try
this iPod Hard Reset ( it wont delete anything on your iPod)
Toggle the Hold switch ( make sure you dont see the red mark)
Press Menu and center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON then release the buttons.
Select you language preferrence.
See this Apple support article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Good Luck!
You can change your screen, if it is under warranty. (they replaced it with a refurbish iPod)
OR if it is not under warranty, to can also get it replaced for a fee at Apple shop
or bring it to a 3rd Party iPod service vendor.

Podcasts show up on iPod but not in iTunes

My (old) podcasts show up on my iPod, but they don't appear in iTunes. I can't delete those podcasts and I really want to throw them away. Could somebody help me?!

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

Nothing shows on my ipod classic screen

I can not get anything to show up on my ipod classic screen. I tried resetting my ipod and still nothing shows up on my screen, not even the Apple logo. I wonder if the battery is dead.

If the battery is "dead" (as in "fully drained", or empty), you will need to leave it on charge for at least thirty minutes before it shows any signs of life. Then, let it fully charge.
If that is not the issue, try leaving the iPod alone and unplugged for a few days (painful, I know). If the iPod is stuck doing something, but unable to turn on the screen, leaving it alone will cause the battery to empty out. Then, go for the "empty battery" option of recharging, as above.

Manually Transfer Podcasts - Don't Show Up in iPod "Podcast" Area

Here's the scenario. My wife and I each have iPod Shuffles for use at the gym, etc... We each have our own computer and different iTunes libraries. For our anniversary, I bought her (us) an 80gb w/video. The thought was that we'd share both of our music libraries here along with videos/podcasts for us to use when we traveled (separately or together).
I've found that the best/easiest way for us to manage the iPod's library is to set it up for manual management. This was after doing a lot of searching forums on managing between two computers... unless that's changed, then no worries there.
My wife took a trip a couple of months ago and downloaded some individual podcasts (not subscribing) into her computer, from iTunes, and transferred them into the 80gb iPod for watching on the plane. They're in the Podcast section as expected. I'm taking a trip in a week and downloaded some additional podcasts from iTunes, and also did not subscribe to them. I did a drag and drop into the 80gb, but I couldn't find them looking through iTunes and through the iPod itself - except through the recently added files folder.
The only place I can find them is in the "Recently Added" folder, but that won't last long. So now that I've "found" the podcasts, how do I get them libraried (is that a real word?) into my Podcast section of my iPod? They do reside in the Podcast section of the iTunes program. I have version 7.2.0.35 of iTunes if that matters.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

My podcast videos are not showing up on my ipod

My videos are not showing up on my ipod
i tried creating a regular music playlist then putting videos on it
my music videos show up fine but all my video podcasts dont come up at all

Have you checked the video section on the iPod? Videos must be played from the video section otherwise all you get is sound.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

Can't get video podcast to show up on my iPod

I've downloaded tv programs, even compressed some of my own video work and put it on my iPod....but for some reason, the 3 video podcasts I downloaded don't show up after my iPod updates. I searched in the music section as well as the video section under "podcasts," but nothing is there. Any suggestions? Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?

Any suggestions?
Would suggest you check the format of the podcast. I downloaded one last week and found Sorenson video and QDesign audio tracks. If it is in what appears to be the correct format and parameter settings, then try converting it yourself and see it it syncs.
If the converted file syncs, then I would conclude that the author's workflow may not have included adequate "field testing." (Likely relying on past successes with a particular application and/or settings.) This happened to me this week when I downloaded an Apple product/technique tutorial. (Strangely enough, the only one in the series I had tourble with delt with podcasting.) If the files still refuses to sync, then I would suggest you recheck your iTunes preference settings
Any way to drag and drop the file onto iPod?
"Drag 'n Drop" is, i believe, a manual management function. However, I doubt it would bypass the iTunes files scan to check on whether or not the file is iPod compatible. (I assume you aren't talking about simple data storage here.) On the other hand, at least one individual has claimed to have "hacked" his way into the loading of video data rate restricted files. Unfortunately, I am not interested in wasting space in order to put "DVD quality" files on an iPod. (If I want DVD quality, I'll watch the DVD.)

My podcasts show up as music in my iPod

When my iPod (5th generation) is synched with iTunes, all my podcasts are correctly sorted separately both in my library and iPod. But when I eject and browse through my Ipod, my podcasts show up both under 'podcasts' and under 'music'. How do I organise them so they are not filed under music?

I have a similar question although I'm looking for the opposite outcome. I want to know how tracks are identified as either a podcast, audiobook or music as well. I want to take episodes of podcasts and take them out of the podcast category and put them into the music or audiobooks category instead. Hopefully someone will be able to answer this for both of us!
