Podcast artwork not downloading

Hi, everyone.
I'm having problems with podcast artwork not showing up. I normally download my podcasts through iTunes, and for several feeds, album art shows up in the iTunes Store but isn't embedded in the files I download.
I always figured that the providers were just somehow not embedding the art in the individual files, but then I noticed that when I download the files directly from my iPhone, they show up just fine. To test it out, I tried two copies of the same file -- one downloaded directly to the phone and another synced from iTunes -- and got the same result: one with album art, one without.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks,
--Brian

Also have this problem - Even after vigorous Menu>Get Album Artwork attempts. My Podcasts look like empty tabs with zero differentiation between each other...
Come on Apple, stop treating podcast talent like chode, they're one of the only things keeping you guys from having to totally overhaul the iTunes app... how is that going by the way? I guess we'll all just keep jumping over to Spotify until you get that one figured out... Better hope they don't dig into podcasts too =/
Jokes aside, I love iTunes, but it really need the artwork to complete the experience, eh?
P's,

  • Podcast artwork not showing up in store.

    I'm sorry. I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but the other topics I found in search did not seem to be my problem.
    My podcast feed is:
    http://mediathresher.com/?feed=podcast
    My podcast artwork is at:
    http://www.mediathresher.com/wp-content/uploads/podcastlogo.jpg
    (which you can see in the feed text)
    The podcast is on the store here:
    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=372229560
    But I don't seem to get the artwork! I'm either doing something wrong or there's a delay between putting a podcast up in the store and seeing the artwork...? It was only approved a day or two ago. I optimized all the feilds in both my podcasting suite for my website and feedburner, and the id3 tag artwork shows up fine when I download.
    Sorry to be a pest! Thanks for any help!

    It seems to be normal for the Podcast Image on the Store page to take a day or two longer to appear than the feed - evidently it's cached separately. It can take even longer for the version of on the Search results page to appear, but it all usually sorts itself out eventually.

  • NBC Podcasts Will Not Download

    I just returned from an extended trip during which I did not download any subscribed podcasts for NBC Nightly News, NBC Meet the Press and MSNBC Chris Matthews, or any of several subscribed podcasts. Now, I am not able to download any of these NBC podcasts (bar never goes past zero downloading and then I get a timeout notice), though I am able to continue all other podcasts. Is there any particular problem with the NBC podcasts? I tried reinstalling iTunes but no difference.

    This problem was solely because China blocks certain content from dwnloading from iTunes, specicifannly NBC Nightly News and Meet the Press, and obviously Apple does nothing to prevent or acknowledge this. Note there have been no Apple replies to this posting. For reasons the savvy reader will understand, we now have no difficulty accessing this content. I am disappointed in Apple for not acknowledging this issue. Too much money in iPhones and other content. Google 1, Apple 0, in my book.

  • Album Artwork not downloading

    Hiya,
    I recently had to re-install iTunes Version 7 after a computer failure. I installed the the software and restored all my tunes and the album art work for all tunes, including those added from CD downloaded automatically. I hadnt downloaded these before as I had been using an old version of iTunes.
    However, the system will now not download any album artwork for tunes added from CD. I have checked the help files, made the correct settings on iTunes and have also checked that the CD's Iam adding are available iStore and it should be working.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Regards
    Mark

    Actually no it doesn't, but when I do a search from iTunes I can find the Album just fine. I've copied the info from iTunes and did a Copy/Paste into the correct fields in my Library. No misspellings or anything.
    Here's one of the album/artist I'm having trouble getting the album cover for.
    The Return 3:55 Jay-Z & R. Kelly Unfinished Business $0.99

  • ITunes artwork not downloading with file and tab blanked out.

    The last 4 items I have downloaded from iTunes (tv Shows and Movies) are not coming with any album art.  As the TV shows are on season pass its only the latest episodes that don't have artwork.
    Also the artwork tab is greyed out on the Get Info screen.
    Gettin art work via menu does not work.
    Anyone else having this problem? or know a fix?
    Thanks

    thomas200,
    Not a lot of joy, but here is what I have discovered.
    I have been having this problem for about a month as well.  Video files downloaded from iTunes have no album art or account info and the artwork tab is greyed out.
    My library is stored on a QNAP NAS. When I download any video file everything looks fine until the end when 'processing file' occurs. This will take only a second on any faulty file yet 4/5 or more sec when everything is working.
    I have created a new library with files being stored on the hard drive of my mac and tried down loading a free tv episode.  This works fine.
    So I feel like I am narrowing the problem to my itunes library or the NAS (which had a software upgrade in april)
    I'll post if I find out anything more.

  • Podcast Artwork not showing up in iTunes

    I have a new podcast which was recently approved by iTunes. All appears to be well with the feed setup, but the artwork is not appearing properly in iTunes. I have checked the setup on my end and the raw feed XML, and I don't see the problem, as the URL to the artwork image seems to be specified correctly. Here is the feed:
    http://www.bighillsoftware.com/category/podcasts/runtime/feed/
    The <itunes:image> tag is present and points to the proper image. Any ideas on how to get the image to show up properly?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    iTunes caches the image, to save reading it off the server every time someone looks at the Store page, but can take some days before it appears in the Store. I can't give you an exact timing, but I wouldn't be surprised at 7-10 days. The feed and the image are OK, so it's just a question of waiting.
    When you add new episodes to your feed they will appear immediately for subscribers but will usually take 1-2 days to appear in the Store - again, due to cacheing, this time of the feed itself.

  • Artwork not downloading - iTunes not even trying!

    I ripped Ryan Adams's (excellent) album Easy Tiger tonight. When I tried to download the art from the iTunes Store, iTunes thought about it for a little bit, then stopped. I assumed (wrongly) that the album doesn't exist in the iTS. I checked though, and there it is. So I tried again. This time the "Getting Album Artwork" blipped by in a fraction of a second, and I still had no artwork.
    Trying it a third time yielded the same result, with iTunes giving NO indication that it was even TRYING to get the artwork. It will refuse to fetch ANY artwork at this point.
    Things you might want to know:
    MacBook, iTunes 7.5, MacOS 10.4.10. I repaired the permissions and it still does this. The library in question is on an external drive, but this has not been an issue. This is a fresh install of the OS (and I'm sticking with 10.4.10 on purpose) though the library in question is itself rather old. I'll rebuild it if need be. Can anyone tell me how to preserve ratings and playcounts as well as the dates tracks were added to the library?
    Many thanks!

    The tags for the album may not match exactly what the iTunes Store has — an extra space or capitalized letter can throw it off. If you have an album that you know iTunes can find artwork for, try deleting its existing art and seeing if iTunes will find album art for it again. If it does, you'll know there's something off in your Ryan Adams tags.

  • I can see the latest episode of my podcast but not downloading

    Hi all,
    I've got a podcast feed that runs out of here http://averyhillpublishing.com/category/podcast/ . The first episode worked fine but now I've added a more recent one it's not working properly.  I can see it in the itunes site here http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/avery-hill-publishing/id485458654 and it plays fine.  I can also see it in itunes store but there it doesn't play.  And then I can download it into my itunes but it doesn't properly complete.  I tried removing the file from my post and putting it back in but that didn't help either.  Any ideas please?

    The 'Summer 2012' episode won't play in the Store, and when you subscribe it appears to download but then reverts to 'Get', and checking in the actual Libary in the Finder confirms that it is not present. The older episode works OK.
    The file is at http://www.averyhillpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/AHP-Podcast-2.mp3 and if you enter this in Safari it plays perfectly well. It can also be downloaded from the link in a browser.
    So the server is apparently responding to requests from a browser, but not from iTunes or the iTunes Store: I can't suggest why this is - it's something you would have to take up with the people running your server.

  • Want to change podcast artwork: not showing up in iTunes Store

    Hi. I want to change the icon/artwork for my podcast.
    My website (created with iWeb) = www.manleywoman.com
    My podcast in iTunes Store = Manleywoman SkateCast
    I use Garageband to create my podcast, then save to iWeb, then save to iTunes. So I changed the artwork on the podcast itself in Garageband. That worked fine and shows up properly on my website and on the episode for which the artwork was changed. I thought that changing the artwork on the podcast RSS page of my website would automatically change it in the iTunes Store, but so far no luck.
    Can someone walk me through how to make the proper artwork show up in the iTunes Store? Right now it's just a broken link. Thanks

    You can update your artwork via feedburner.
    1. Go to feedburner.com and log in to your account.
    2. Click on your feed for the show.
    3. Click on the OPTIMIZE tab at the top, then click SMARTCAST on the navigation bar to your left.
    4. Under PODCAST IMAGE LOCATION you can add the url to the image you want to use (store it in your site folder somewhere).
    You can also add in keywords, and description as well.
    Hope that helps.

  • Listener's Audio Bible "Bible in a Year" free podcasts are not downloading.

    Is there anything I can do to report download problems on free podcasts?  Three days in a row.  Thanks. iTunes is current and up to date.

    I also wish to perform the 'free' upgrade to the mavericks OS however I am prompted to enter credit card details. This is neither appropriate and obstructive to my apple experience. I only wish to perform the upgrade and will give my details at a later date should I wish to make a future purchase. Please let me know what options are available to me without entering credit card details. It seems an unnecessary request for my financial information for which I don't/can't provide and is already limiting my iphone experience. I wish to use apple products in the future however I fail to see the logic of the credit card requirement for a "free" upgrade. An annoying roadblock to a smooth user experience.

  • Artwork Not Downloading

    I am running Itunes 7.02 and XP. When selecting "Get Album Artwork" it displays a message that the missing artwork is being updated but still nothing appears for those album.
    The artwork shows just fine for items purchased at the online store. I have also selected Auto download album art but to no avail. I'm logged into my itunes account and have an active internet connection so I can't figure out the issue.
    Any thoughts?

    im having same problem anyone got any help?

  • HOW TO DISPLAY VIDEO PODCAST ARTWORK NOT VIDEO FIRST FRAME

    How do I get the photo for my video podcast to display? Feed: http://drcraigjohnson.net/podcasts/video/podcast.xml I only see the first frame of the video in cover flow. Code validates. The image is 600 x 600 per iTune specs, but testing with 300 x 300 didn't help. Thank you!

    The coverflow art equals the album coverart. That art MUST be embedded to show. It doesn't matter if you are actually listed in the iTunes store or not. Now the picture that shows in the store along with website info, customer reviews, etc. is pulled from the iTunes image tags (<itunes:image href="http://yourpictureURL.jpg" /> within your podcast xml file.
    I found the following link within the podcast maker forum with more info from a forum moderator: http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/faq.html#coverart
    BTW when a picture is embedded (whether using iTunes to embed or something else), the actual image, NOT a link to the image is "built into" the file whether mp3 audio or m4v video. I did extensive tests embedding a 50k picture and saw the file's size increase substantially, though not exactly matching the photo size.
    Embedding solved my video coverflow picture issue too. Changing/uploading a new image to your server will NOT change the picture shown in album coverart. Thus your "channel" can have a changeable image (the one in the iTunes tag) but each episode can have its own logo/album art.

  • How to delete downloaded podcast and reset podcast to not downloaded??

    Hi all,
    Hope this is a simple question/answer. I've got several podcasts with lots and lots of downloaded episodes which I am no longer interested in keeping on my Powerbook. I can click on the episode I want to delete and delete the file once I use the "Show in Finder" option. However, the file status within the episode listing suggests the file has already been downloaded.
    Is there a way to reset the status of the deleted file(s) so it indicates it needs to be deleted? I tried Refresh podcast after deleting the file, but that didn't work.
    Thanks!!
    Robert
    Message was edited by: Robert Marshall (found way to delete file)

    I went through the same scenario and the absolutely easiest way is to empty all the podcasts you want to remove and then just hit the "unsubscribe" button and then re-subscribe to it. It will re-list all the available podcasts you haven't downloaded.

  • Podcast ArtWork Not Showing In Library

    Hello, support.
    My Podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/es/podcast/managing-madrid-podcast/id630812424?mt=2) correctly shows a picture defined in the feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/ManagingMadridPodcast) , and I also have that same logo set as the cover pic for everyone of our three episodes available. Still, the image won't show in the iTunes library. It shows when we access the podcasts' site in the Store, but not in any of the episodes or even the own podcast in the library.
    Could you give me a hand?
    Thanks

    The image you see in some podcasts when you subscribe in iTunes is not referenced in the feed but is actually embedded in the media files. Please see this page for a full explanation:
