PodCast chapter artwork won't display in iTunes

I recently put together a PodCast walking tour, which had images of the different stops for each chapter. However, these do not display when the PodCast is played through iTunes (when it's retrieved from the feed, or when the file is played outright). However, the images/chapters display in QuickTime and on the iPod itself. Can someone tell me why this might be, and how I can fix this?
Thank you!

I'm having a similar problem. I'm not creating the podcasts, but I am trying to view one that has chapter artwork. The podcast is "gdgt weekly" which you can download through the iTunes store.
The chapter artwork displays just fine on my iPhone, but won't display in iTunes 9, yet I can click on the Chapters menu and see small thumbnails of the chapter artwork.
How do I get the chapter artwork to display in the main window during playback of the podcast.

ITunes U artwork won't display in iPhone

_Short version:_
This is the issue...this is how my iTunes U list displays in my phone:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/25438b106212904
But audiobooks display normal...
http://www.imagebam.com/image/85e882106212891
Obviously, the iTunes U list should display like the audiobooks list.
_Long version:_
This is a really annoying issue and I have tried a lot of fixes. Basically everything works normal in every other circumstance, but when I view my itunes U list in the iPhone, every single thumbnail that is supposed to display next to the album/course name appears instead as the default blank music note.
Artwork images display fine when I'm viewing the list of music albums, audiobooks and anything else. I have assigned an image to every individual episode of iTunes U content...and when that specific episode is playing, the artwork is shown like normal. So the ID3 tag is there...and even the phone can recognize the image...
It's only when viewing the list of iTunes U courses that the artwork doesn't display (and frankly this is the most important, as it helps identify which course/lesson I'm about to choose).
Attempted solutions:
I have tried everything I can think of. I read that some MP3 audio files, "have known issues displaying track Artwork information" and that Apple recommends either converting the files to MP3 files tagged as ID3 version 2.4 or converting the files to the AAC file type format (.m4a). I tried both of those things.
I removed all iTunes U content from my phone, used iTunes ver 10.0.1.22 to convert the ID3 tag of one episode in one course, and to convert one episode from another course from mp3 to m4a. I deleted the images tied to those, and then reassigned new images. I then synced the phone...same story.
I tried using smaller images. I tried using different image formats (jpg, png).
The only thing that (kind of) worked is downloading directly from the iphone in the itunes app. The weird part there is though, the thumbnail image that displays is actually a completely different image from what is on the ID tag...when I sync the phone with itunes on the computer and the episode that was downloaded straight to the phone shows up on the computer...the image is completely different. And if I sync the phone again...the iTunes U list in the phone is devoid of artwork again.
ANY NEW IDEAS?

Movie artwork won't display in home share on iPhone

I just finished encoding a bunch of my movies and using MetaX to quickly add all the meta tags (most specifically the artwork). I imported these movies to iTunes and everything has been great. Again, most importantly, the art work was showing on my iPhone (via home sharing) and Apple TV.
I had to restart my computer soon after importing the movies and now the art work won't show up for any of the movies on my iPhone (Apple TV is fine). I just get a still shot as the picture so I have no idea which video is which unless I tap the still shot and it'll have the title. Oddly enough, the art work shows up in this same place (above the title) but it won't show up at the main page which shows all my videos.
I just checked my wife's iPad and it's working fine there. I tried rebooting the phone, closing all apps and rebooting the computer again. Any other suggestions?

Some album artwork won't display on iPad

Hi guys,
Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
Any ideas?

in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

Why wont my podcast Cover art won't display?

Hello Help Community,
Really new to podcasting. For some reason, my podcast Cover art won't display. Here's my podcast link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/knox-writers-house/id502632953 and here's my blog http://knoxwritershouse.wordpress.com/ I've been trying to figure it out for over a week and I really feel like I'm in the weeds.
Thanks!
Emily

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Dust, dirt, debris is causing a minor short in the charging port.

My podcast displays as continuous and won't display in iTunes.

My podcast displays as continuous and won't display time or download in iTunes. My RSS feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/AfterRealityTvPodcast
My first post displays fine but this does not.
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Spencer

I was able to subscribe to your podcast; both episodes showed and the latest one started downloading (I didn't download it fully), so everything seems OK in that respect. The Store is showing only the first episode: it's too soon to expect to see the latest episode there as it was only posted today. The first episode plays OK in the Store.
Your server does handle 'byte range requests' as required for iPhones so that should be OK.
The reason it's sayinng 'continuous' when subscribing is that you have no 'itunes:duration' tags containing the duration of the episode. I can't advise on how you would enter this information in Blogger, but I would expect it to be possible.
If you are unable to play episodes when subscribing or from the Store there is some problem local to your Mac or iPhone. Perhaps you can get a friend to check whether they can play it, but I would expect them to be able to as I had no problems.

I moved my podcasts and image files to a subfolder - now images won't display in iTunes

I moved my podcasts and image files into a subfolder. The podcasts are working OK, but the image file does not display in iTunes anymore.
The feed is directed through feed burner at http://feeds.feedburner.com/VineyardChurchOfMilan.
The source xml is at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rl89sk4lkrn9930/Zm0Jb6C1Hj/Podcast (MilanVineyardChurch.xml)
The iTunes link is at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/vineyard-church-of-milan/id562567379
I added "/Podcast/" to the image path url in the <itunes:image> tag in the xml file and updated the path to the xml file in feedburner, but I did not add the <itunes:new-feed-url> again. Do I need to do this to force the iTunes scripts to reread the whole file again? I thought that if the iTunes scripts are reading the feedburner file that they would pick up path changes to the image when they read the feedburner file. The location of the feedburner file has not changed. Only the location of the source xml and the image have changed. Feedburner is working right, and shows the image.

You have changed the image URL in the 'image' tag but you have not changed it in the 'itunes:image' tag, and that is what is applicable here.
iTunes is looking for an image at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89406141/MilanVineyardChurch.png
and not finding one there. When you have amended the tag with the new URL it will probably take some days before the image appears in the Store.
The new image is apparently at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89406141/Podcast/MilanVineyardChurch_144.png - this is 144x144 which is inadvisably small for iTunes.
Although your episodes, which have Feedproxy URLs, are appearing OK, iTunes does not get on at all well with Dropbox and you might be advised to consider hosting your image on an ordinary web server. However, it's possible that it will work once you've amended things.

Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
What's going on, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance..

Podcast chapter markers don't appear in iTunes when exporting to .m4a AAC

I created Podcast Chapter markers within SoundTrack Pro 2.02 and exported the file using to the AAC/Podcast file enhanced podcast format .m4a (AAC). Under the 'Podcast' area, I select the 'Enhanced (images)' radio button.
When I select the episode in iTunes - the 'Chapters' drop down appears on the iTunes menu bar but the drop down menu under 'Chapter's' is blank (empty).
If I scroll through the episode by dragging on the slider, the label of each chapter does appear along with the pictures. How can I get the chapter listing to appear from the iTunes drop down 'Chapter's menu? I am wondering if this is a bug in SoundTrack Pro's export process or if I am doing something wrong. Anyone run into this or have an idea how to fix it? Thanks.

I just wanted to add some more information. I tested the podcast in Quicktime 7.x and the chapter markers appear (along with the artwork) and work there as they are supposed to. In iTunes 7.5, under the Control > Next Chapter and/or Control > Previous Chapter work properly (they move the playhead to the correct chapter). However, under the iTunes Chapters in the menu bar - the listing is still blank. Is anyone else running into this issue, I am wondering if it a bug in SoundTrack Pro? Thanks.

Artwork will not display in iTunes 5 ?

compared to many this is a minor complaint, but is there anyway to get iTunes 5 to recognize or display album artwork? I had 4.9 on two different ibooks and the artwork displayed as expected. On both notebooks immediately after the update to iTunes 5.0 the ability to display album artwork ceased. I've tried turning it on and off, etc to no avail. Even on newly ripped CD's the artwork does not display. The iTunes window will only read "album Artwork Not Moodifiable" any fix for this admittedly minor issue would be appreciated.
Thank you,

If you mean, do I know that I can select all the tracks of a particular album and attach artwork to them all at the same time, yes I do. That's what I have been doing. What my main point is, #1 why do I have to do that at all. Should not the "cd cover" of the ripped album automatically be included in the tag of the ripped music? That is how it worked in 4.9, but it does not seeem to be working on 5.0. For whatever reason, a cd ripped with 5.0 does not include the artwork in the tag information. At least it does not on two different Mac's that I'm using. I've sat here ripping several CD's tonite and none of them have aertwork automatically attached to the audio files info.
And finally why does the music that I had ripped with ver 4.9 that did include the artwork in the id tags, no longer include it after the upgrade?? to 5.0.. Is there a way to correct this without going through and dragging new artwork to every album?
It's no big deal if Apple just stated it was a problem with the update, then I'd just re do it, but I do want to make sure I'm not dealing with an unrelated problem before wasting all that time copying a hundred blaady album covers.

Album Artwork won't display correctly.

I've been having this issue for a few months now. My music doesn't have the right cover art on my Ipod touch 4 (running 6.1.6) but it displays correctly on iTunes 11.1.4 for PC. What happens is cover art for other music that i own will be on albums that don't match the artwork. I've tried clearing and redownloading the artwork, reinstalling (the same version) iTunes, deleting my entire library and starting from scratch, and restoring backups of my ipod but to no avail. Is this fixed with iTunes 11.1.5 or am i stuck like this?

i am having the exact same issue right now
on the music list (also in itunes) it'll display the correct album artwork but when i play the song it'll display a different artwork rather than the original :/
i want to find a way to fix it since it's bothering me a bit

Items in iTunes Media folder won't display in iTunes

Hi there
I just had to restore my Windows 7 PC. The iTunes Media folder has been located on an external drive (iTunes media folder location: G:\iTunes Media) and remained untouched. After restoring the PC and downloading iTunes (current version was on the computer before) I changed the iTunes Media location (in Advanced Preferences) again to G:\iTunes Media and logged in with my apple ID.
Thanks to iTunes Match, my Music is displayed in iTunes. However, all other files such as iTunesU data or iPhone and iPad Apps will not display in iTunes (although they are all right where they were before, in the indicated folder location).
Owing to a couple of print screens I took of my settings before the restore of the PC, I was able to set everything exactly the way it was in the Advanced tab of the Preferences window.
Thank you very much for any hints or advice.
Simon

Do you only have media on the external (which by the way is not a "library" because it is lacking many parts of a complete library), or do you have a complete iTunes folder with library files and support folders (a true library)?
If only media and you have both drives connected you need consolidate/organize media from one drive to the other. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507 - more information at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22026652#22026652 - and steps 5-8 in https://discussions.apple.com/message/24491967#24491967
If you have your entire library on the external drive, copy the iTunes folder from one drive to the other. Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the relocated iTunes folder on the new drive.

Album artwork won't display on ipod! help!

my album artwork shows up on my itunes library, but doesn't show up on my ipod. what am i doing wrong?

So you're saying you no longer have your music library in iTunes? That's pretty risky behavior. At some point, most folks end up having to Restore the iPod, which erases it. If you don't have your music in iTunes, you'll have to rip it all over again. And you'll lose anything you've purchased from the iTunes store.
And enabling "Show Album Artwork on iPod" isn't going to do any good if you no longer have your music (and artwork) in iTunes to resync with the iPod.

2 Problems: Album Artwork won't load and Itunes deletes podcasts

I have one minor problem and one major problem. The minor problem is that I try to get album artwork off the internet for some of my albums and I go to add the artwork in Itunes and when I add it, it doesn't show up, like I never added any. The second problem is that when I am in the podcast section looking at podcasts, downloading, and/or listen to some, it sometimes deletes a whole director, usually one or two of my video podcasts for no apparent reason and gets rid of the whole podcast in my directory. I can re download the podcasts, but its really annoying.

For the artwork not adding, make sure XP doesn't think the actual music file is read-only.
You might need to 'undo' read-only several folders above it and apply it to all subfolders.
FOr example, if you are trying to change artwork for
drive:path....\iTunes Music\Beastie Boys\Licensed to Ill
Make sure the "iTunes Music" folder is not read only.
For the podcast problem, right-click on the top-level podcast name and choose *Do Not Auto Delete* from the flyout menu.

My podcast artwork won't appear in iTunes

Hello,
I have a podcast that has been on iTunes for over a week and a half and still the artwork isn't appearing on my podcast page. I have tried uploading an image on my feedburner and nothing is working.
Here is the iTunes page
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ne1fm-breakfast-show/id878551410
And here is the feed
http://www.podcastgarden.com/podcast/podcast-rss.php?id=3680
The image appears once downloaded and subscribed. Anyone who can help me? I really don't know what to do.

Your image is correctly referenced and compliant in all parameters with the requirements. It usually takes quite some days for the image to appear on a new podcast, so it's just a question of waiting.
