PodCast display in iTunes

I have created and been approved on iTunes. I can see it if I search by name, BUT I cannot see it in the general display when I select the Education/Training category, where my podcast is categorized. Its been several days now. What am I missing as I am new to podcast producing and uploading to iTunes.
Thanks
TDK

So my $64 question is this;
For the many podcasts that are below the 1st 100, how will anyone ever find them in iTunes?
All the ones I listen to and found, were because I "saw" them on iTunes. But if mine and many others are below the #100 popularity mark, they will never be seen. ( First goal of a podcaster is to work your way up to that 100 lot ---- atleast I think its the first 100 of each category that is shown.....)
I also noticed that the 2 I watch, change their positions. So iTunes does change their position based on something, like hits, etc I don't know. Not sure if they even reveal their metrics and how often.....every several hours or each day.....probably competitive info they do NOT need (or want) to reveal.
Anyone else has thoughts on this ??
Regards
TDK

Why doesn't Podcast display in iTunes Store V11.0.2? It used to. It's now blank.

Why doesn't Podcast display in iTunes Store V11.0.2? It used to. It's now blank.

However, for some reason, as of 1.0.3 version of the software it doesn't display Cyrillic Capital Letter Yu (Unicode 042E) in the artists' names.
Is that the only Cyrillic character that does not display correctly? What do you get instead?
There is no feedback form,
All Apple products have a feedback channel. For the ipod it's here:

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.

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.

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.

How to change image display of my podcast page in iTunes?

How to change image display of my podcast page in iTunes?

As far as I understand you need to update the image's link in your RSS XML file. Be sure to change the link file name even if it links to a different image.
The XML files associated with podcasts are checked for changes every 24 hours so don't expect this to happen instantly.

How to post podcast artwork in iTunes with libsyn

Quick question..
How do I get MY image to show up in the podcast page in iTunes? I'm talking about the page that shows when my podcast is displayed. There is just a default image there right now, and I would like to change it to an image of my choosing. I've gone into the setting tab in libsyn, and added an image to the iTunes submission tab, but the image fails to show. I'm assuming this is a problem with the rss feed, because no image shows in a few other podcast directories.
How do I make an image show up in the iTunes podcast artwork area? How do I do this using libsyn as my host?
Thanks

The iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the center of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

My recent podcasts are showing on iTunes site but not in podcast app or iTunes

Hi,
I've never used this forum before, but am struggling to find out what is going wrong with my podcasts.
I have a podcast that has been running fine for some time, but now no longer updates in the podcast app, or in my podcast subscriptions in iTunes.
This is the podcast >>> https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/slam-radio/id584845850
The last episode I can see in my iTunes podcast subscriptions and podcast app is episode 55, yet the most recent, episode 59, shows fine on the itunes website.
Is there a reason that I can listen to the most recent episode via the itunes site, but my subscriptions wont update?
It seems that the problem has been experienced by several people.
As far as I'm aware, I havent changed the way I do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 19th January ends like this -
"This year, I will exercise more.&quot...</itunes:summary>
As the '"' tag has been truncated you have an ampersand (indicating the start of a code sequence) but the code is never finished. This renders the rest of the feed unreadable, and as that includes the closing tags the entire feed is invalidated and iTunes cannot read it.
There's no reason to have all these '"' tags - just type " (iTunes won't render the code but will display it, which looks messy) - but in any case don't let a code be truncated like that or you will have this problem.
Incidentally it's better all round to start your own thread when you have a query, rather than tag on to an existing one which can cause confusion if a discussion is ongoing. You're also more likely to be noticed.

Why can't I see new podcast episodes in iTunes?

I only subscribe to a couple of podcasts but have several where I pick-and-choose from new episodes to download and then listen to on my iPod.
Under past versions of iTunes I would simply right-click on a podcast in my iTunes Podcasts folder, select "Show all episodes" or something similar, and the latest episodes would appear at the top and I could pick and choose which ones to download. However, under the new version, I don't see that option anymore. All my podcasts seemed to have stopped at approximately September 24, 2013. I can hit "show old episodes" and it reveals ones older than that but I can't see the ones added since. Deleting all podcasts and then downloading a new episode from the store doesn't help either.
What am I missing? I don't want to subscribe to the podcasts and download episodes that don't interest me. The only workaround I have found is to just go to the iTunes store, search for the podcast, and then download new episodes from there but that seems unnecessarily cumbersome when in the past I could just use a couple mouseclicks or less to see what was new. I feel like I must be missing something obvious...

Carolyn's response is of no help.
Do I understand correctly that the feature where you could see the available podcasts in your podcast list is now gone? Thge only way to see a podcast you are not subscribed to is to go to the iTunes store? That s**ks! The iTunes store is slow; it displays images I don't want to see, and it is tedious. Can someone recommend a good Android phone and tablet...

Podcast episode in iTunes feed but not on preview page

I have been experiencing different behavior with my podcast in the iTunes store this week. My latest two episodes took a couple of days to update in the iTunes feed when for the past two months they have appeared within an hour. What concerns me is that they are not displaying on the preview page for my podcast in the iTunes store, even the one that was published two and a half days ago. Apple's email support persists in telling me how to submit a podcast to the store and suggesting that I phone support and ask my question for a fee. Liberated Syndication tells me that the feed URL is accurate and that the episodes in question have been published. It also says several of its customers are experiencing this problem currently with iTunes.
Any ideas?
My feed URL is http://astroinsight.libsyn.com
My iTunes URL is http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/astroinsights-podcast/id479652731

Your feed is at http://www.cooksux.com/theahhashow/podcast/podcastblaster.xml
iTunes is unable to read this feed because there is a fatal error in the episode of 27 November. The 'itunes:subtitle' tag contains an ampersand ('&') by itself - because an ampersand indicates the beginning of a code sequence which is never completed, and this renders the feed unreadable. You need instead to use the code
&
as you have in fact done elsewhere. Since this is in episode 5 this is why your subscription stopped at episode 4. I'm not clear how the Store has managed to keep updating, except that the Store and the iTunes application are quite different things and it may be that the Store software has been arranged to ignore this error. Anyway, make the change and it will work again. (Make sure there aren't any more instances of this.)

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.

When I connect my iTouch to my PC (windows 7) an error message is displayed reading "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later".

When I connect my iTouch to my PC (windows 7) an error message is displayed reading "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later". I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes. I have also completely reset my iTouch to factory defaults. I have even followed all the advice provided previously to other forum member with the same problem. Nothing seems to work. Please help me someone.

I'm getting the same problem with both my IPad 4 and iPhone 5
Just started a few weeks back, Since then I have had two Itunes updates.
Is this something Apple is aware of and trying to fix?

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Hi AkMat.
Have you actually opened these files to see what they are yet? The few Apps I've downloaded (not from iTunes) typically come with a few files. The actual app, the instructions/help/TOU and sometimes an uninstall.
