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.

Podcast Description not showing up in iTunes/Feedburner

Hi all,
After my podcast got approved all the information entered in Feedburner was getting
read in my Podcast in iTunes. After 2 months or so I started noticing that the Podcast Description got
removed, then the copyright info and finally the author information.
Here is a picture where I try to show where iTunes is not grabbing some of my feedburner information.
Its looks like some of the Feedburner information is going through, as you
can see in the picture, is grabbing my Podcast Picture, Category, new episodes, etc.
iTunes Podcast Link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/pod…..d419121389
Note: This is a category I setup through Wordpress and re-directing the feed to my
feedburner account (.htaccess file)
Would love to know, what is causing this and if I have to do something in order for this
to get fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Podcast descriptions not showing up on iPhone

I've found it annoying that podcasts don't show their program description on my iPhone. So, I wrote a little AppleScript to go through and update the podcast's "lyrics" to be the description. That way, when playing the podcast on my iPhone, the description (stored in the "lyrics" field) are shown on my iPhone screen. If you want to use this, open up the AppleScript editor, paste this code, and save the resulting script in the folder "~/Library/iTunes/Script". Your new script should appear in the script menu right in iTunes. When you run it, it will update the podcasts downloaded in iTunes so the description will appear on my iPhone screen. Hope others find this useful. My thanks to Thabo Da Husky for the idea. Here's the code:
tell application "iTunes"
    repeat with podTrack in tracks of user playlist "Podcasts"
        if ((get lyrics of podTrack) = "") then
            set lyrics of podTrack to (get description of podTrack)
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

Hmm. Well, yes, now I see the scripts icon at the top of my iTunes screen (I had named the folder Script; once I added the "s" to the end, the Scripts icon showed up). But for some reason the script is not working. Not only is the description not pasting into the lyrics field, but the description no longer shows up on the iTunes listing. I can see the description when I control-click on the file and look at "Show description", but not in the iTunes listing on my Mac or in the lyrics field on the Mac or the iPhone. I just added some new podcast episodes, and before even running the script, they came over to iTunes without the description showing up. Selecting them and running the script has no effect. Any idea what has happened?
(And I do appreciate you taking the time to help me on this.)

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.

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 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?

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.

That's the robots.txt file telling search engine spiders "you can spider everything here EXCEPT the /cgi-bin folder". It has nothing to do with site description.

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.

Podcasts do not show up on the car ipod menu

Just purchased iPod Classic for new car. Connected iPod to USB but my podcasts do not display on my iPod car display, just music.

Couple of clarifications, the rotation lock is not set. The controls are visible for video and other apps. Only the music screen does not rotate or show the controls.

Drag and drop podcasts do not show up under "podcasts" heading

When I manually drag and drop a downloaded podcast into my Ipod, these do not show up in ITunes under the "podcasts" category. When I look at the Ipod display, it show the podcast is actually on the device, even though ITunes does not show it. I can not browse through the ITunes listings to find the missing podcasts since the only other category available in the left-hand menu is "music" and this does not show podcast as an option for genre. How can I display and delete podcasts after I have listened to them? Hows can I see what is actually on my Ipod using ITunes.

Only episodes downloaded with iTunes will go into podcast section even if genre is set to podcast. Doesn't matter if it is singles episode download or using subscription.
Episodes downloaded with browser will go into music section. Depending on tag info they can then be found using genre, artist, or album search.
Somebody, awhile ago, found the difference in files using a hex editor. They were successful in moving the direct download file to the podcast section.

When I plug in my ipod old podcasts do not show up, how do I fix this?

I have updated my itunes. I have reset my ipod. However, when I connect my ipod to my computer old podcasts (even ones that have not been listened to) do not show up. I added these podcasts to my ipod before installing the new itunes. I have over 20 podcasts that do not show up on itunes for me to remove so I am wasting space. If anyone has advice please let me know.
Thanks,
Chet

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

ITunes Episode Description not showing on iPad

I've made a series of short videos to show as episodes of a TV show in iTunes but the episode description that I've put into iTunes does not show on the iPad once sync'd.
I have also got a TV series that I bought from the iTunes store and on this, the description does show on the iPad.
I can't see what's different between the two scenarios - does anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks

The descriptions you see on your iOS device cannot be edited from iTunes. You need a metadata editor in order to edit those.
I personaly use Metax (http://www.kerstetter.net/index.php/projects/software/metax)
