Podcast genre doesn't show up among podcasts

Hi,
I imported some mp3s from the web (PCMag Broadband). When I look in Recently Added I see that the import went fine and iTunes sees them as Podcasts.
But they're not among the podcasts, nor are they among the music. If it weren't for the Recently Added playlist I wouldn't know they are there.
I have iTunes copying files that it imports.
How do I get these files to appear as podcasts?
Thanks for your time.
Bruce

iTunes sees them as Podcasts.
But they're not among the podcasts
Then how do you know iTunes see them as podcasts?
Setting the Genre as podcast does not make them a podcast.
Select the files in iTunes (in the Recently added playlist, right?)
Right click - get info.
Click the Options tab and set *Media kind:* to Podcast.

You cannot buy music from itunes, as they do not sell it in your coutnry. You would have to buy elsewhere.

Latest ep of my podcast doesn't show in iTunes. Subscribers CAN download it. Podcast page shows 'Total: 3 items' but lists only items 2 and 3. RSS feed is validated and fine.

I've used Feedburner many times and never had such a problem. I am a bit confused, forgive me if I ask for questions already answerd. Have you tried updating the podcast in someone elses copy of iTunes? My guess is that the file is bad since it is working in other programs but not iTunes. I would try making a new .mp4 file and podcasting it and seeing if that works.
Good luck!

Podcast feed image doesn't show up

Hi,
I have two separate podcast image issues here:
1. I can't get the feed image of a new podcast to show up at all. The podcast has been showing up for a while now. How long does it take for the feed image to show up? Is there no maximum size for feed images now? There used to be, but I don't see a size limit anymore, only a suggestion that the image should be square, which this one is. Here is the .rss feed in question:
http://christiantelevisionbroadcasting.com/rss/crosstalk.rss
2. I have a podcast that's been listed here on iTunes since 2005, when iTunes first started listing podcasts. I noticed recently that this podcast no longer shows up in the featured podcasts, even though it's popular, and certainly one of the oldest continuing podcasts on iTunes. The podcast (Axis Coffee House) shows up near the top of the list when you search the podcasts for "praise" or "Texas Baptist" and then sort by popularity. If you click on "see all" to look at the list of image icons, the Axis podcast doesn't show up at all anymore. I suspect there may be something wrong with the feed image which prevents it from showing up in the graphical listing? Here is the .rss feed in question:

Thanks for your help... (smile)

sadly, we podcast creators have no way of controlling what is a featured podcast. This is something that the iTunes staff picks and chooses...here's a snippet from the spec:
"Getting Featured on the iTunes Home Page
At iTunes, we’re constantly on the lookout for podcasts that are breaking new ground with this medium, have new or unusual content, or just capture our interest. When we find them, we like to feature them on the Podcasts home page. While there are no sure-fire ways to get your podcast featured (and no, we do not accept payments for promotion), there are some minimum requirements."
The popularity meter in iTunes for podcasts is pretty useless and is in not really reflective of how popular your feed really is. It's merely a gauge as to how frequently people have subscribed to the feed with itunes. It doesn't take into account people that have subscribed via direct link, manually subscribed, or subscribed using other feed readers/podcatchers.
Feed validator is still coughing up some errors. You missing GUID's for your items as well. The GUID can be anything as long as it's unique throughout the xml. Often times just using the same url as the enclosure does the trick.
The iTunes podcast directory is also very clunky and has quite a lot of holes...some feeds are listed in categories they don't belong in, some are listed when searching but not browsing, all sorts of strange behavior. So there may not be anything wrong with your feed that is causing it not to show up....just a clunky database.

Please help! - Artwork for podcast doesn't show up in iTunes store.

Hi there - My artwork doesn't show up in the iTunes store.
Artwork shows up fine in the downloaded episodes, but in the store, only the "plain" podcast icon shows up. It's been nearly a week.
-I published my feed with Feeder and host it on my site
-Feedburner pulls it in
-I submitted it myself in iTunes (using the feedburner feed-need it for stats)
-I have been approved, and people have started subscribing.
-Feed has been vetted, and appears to be ok.
iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=3485...
Feedburner Link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/meetingwithmasters
True feed: feed://bonehead.us/mwm.xml
Please help!
Thanks!

The image is correctly referenced in the feed and there is an image at that URL. Some people have found that it takes some time for the image to appear, even after the podcast itself has been approved and appeared in the Store. so I should give it another few days.

Podcast doesn't show up on a search for the title or category. Also, how do I check title, description, keywords, etc?

I just put up a Podcast for our church. Now I need to change the image and check the titles. Also, when I search for The Village Presbyterian Church, Northbrook, IL nothing shows up. And when I go into the Christianity section my podcast doesn't show. It all works. What should I do?

Please post the iTunes Store URL for your podcast - this was given to you in the email you received when it was accepted, or you can go to the Store and control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the image (or where it should be) and copy the URL; please also post the feed URL.

Podcast doesn't show up on the ATV

I can find bimbokid podcast through iTunes but it doesn't show on my ATV.
How do I fix that?

The post does play on my AppleTV.
The problem I see:
My podcast shows up in iTunes search but it doesn't shows up on the AppleTV podcast search.
Anyone faced this issue before?

Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

I have Windows 7 main library, iMac with additional library and Apple TV that I want to use home sharing, but windows library doesn't show as a computer on Apple TV.

I have music and movie library on an external drive connected to a Windows 7 machine. I also have home movies and other content on an iMac that I use. I want to turn on home sharing for both and connect them to Apple TV for display, music and podcast. They are all on the same wifi home network, but the Windows library doesn't show up on the ATV device.
I turned off all Windows firewall and I tried to configure port forwarding, but that didn't help.
I will say that this did work at some point, so a patch or an update, or some configuration change has caused it to stop workin at some point in the past six months to a year.

IPod Touch Doesn't Show Up In My Computer Removable Hard Drive

So, unlike my 1st Gen Nano, my IPT doesn't show up as a removable hard drive. How do I fix that?

Sure you can, a portable device for music, videos, podcasts, etc.
Sorry, no you cannot use it like some of the previous iPods have been able to be recognized as mass storage devices.

TV Show doesn't show all episodes in cloud

I bought a few episodes of the show Arrow. In trying to clear up some disk space, I deleted them from itunes. For some reason, most of them show up in my library with the cloud icon, and are available on my other devices, but at current, it doesn't show in the list on other devices, or in itunes (until I download it as I'm doing in the picture.
Is there anything I can do to restore it to it's former cloudy self?

HT1386 how do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show option?

How do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show the option?

For iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync you device>Setup syncing
Sync your device manually
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
Click Done.
If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.
The picture from the iTunes Help do not display.

Video doesn't show?

I don't know if this has already been answered but the video podcasts that I have on my iPod I can find through the Top Rated Playlist but not directly through the Videos one. Does anybody know how I can put it so it shows up when you go to Videos?

It doesn't show up under Videos-->Video Podcasts?
Does the podcast show up under Music-->Podcasts on the iPod?
Also, open iTunes and connect your iPod. Click on the iPod when it appears in iTunes under "Source." Does the video podcast have a little TV/video icon next to it in iTunes?

Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall. Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all. tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

So I tried to update to the newest Itunes. It locked up my computer part way thru the install. Black screen, computer turned itself off. Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down. I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist. the other apple programs do, but no itunes. when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded. I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs. however, i can open itunes. it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall. So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it??? I'm out of ideas. running windows vista.

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes

(Sorry for the length of this, but I want to make sure that I don't leave out anything that I've done.)
It all started last week when I installed Starcraft 2 on my Mac mini (the new one that came out in June 2010). Starcraft 2 crashed frequently due to the nVidia driver issues in 10.6.4, so the next day I re-installed OS X from the DVD that came with my computer to rollback to 10.6.3. Starcraft 2 worked better, but that's beside the point.
Later that day I noticed that iTunes didn't show my iPhone 3GS when it was connected (I have had zero problems with this since I got my Mac mini last month). (I'm using iTunes 9.2.1, by the way). I searched a bit, and found the instructions to Uninstall and reinstall iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224). I followed the instructions, and everything worked quite well.
At this point, I thought the problem was either due to my re-install of OS X or Starcraft 2 (I'm using a USB headset, which could somehow be related).
I was having other issues with Starcraft 2 at this point, so I decided to install Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. I did this, installed Starcraft 2, and played away.
When I rebooted into OS X, again I noticed that my iPhone wasn't showing up in iTunes. I started to follow the uninstall steps again, and this time I noticed that iTunesHelper wasn't running. It wasn't running because it wasn't in the list of login items to run when my account logs in. Since I was part way through uninstalling anyway, I continued with the process and then reinstalled iTunes. Once again, iTunes saw my iPhone fine. This time I also manually added iTunesHelper to my login items (I had to right click iTunes.app, Show Package Contents, navigate to iTunesHelper.app, and drag it into the list of Login items; I did check the Hide checkbox, since I recalled it being checked during the first uninstall).
It was a few days before I checked iTunes again (I rebooted a few times in here to play Starcraft 2 in Windows; note that I haven't ran Starcraft 2 in OS X since I installed Windows XP previously). However, once again my iPhone wasn't in iTunes.
Since I want to sync my iPhone today, I once again follow the uninstall iTunes process. This time, after installing it and verifying that my iPhone shows up in iTunes (again, I had to manually add iTunesHelper to my login items), I immediately rebooted and connected my iPhone. It didn't show up in iTunes (which I kind of expected at this point). I verified that iTunesHelper was indeed running.
I also tried connecting my wife's iPod touch (first generation), but it doesn't show up in iTunes either (not that I expected it to).
I've tried changing the USB port the dock connector is connected to, but that doesn't seem to matter. I did not change the port during the last reboot attempt, so I do not think that the port itself is bad. I have it connected to one of the ports on the back of the Mac mini, not to one of the ports on my keyboard. Also, my iPhone does charge when connected to this port even if iTunes doesn't recognize it.
At this point it sounds like the iTunes 9.2.1 installer doesn't do something that is required for the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes after a reboot, even though it sets things up properly right after installation. Based on the uninstall instructions, I compared the iTunes related files on my Mac with my wife's (a MacBook from early 2008, if that matters), and everything seems to be in place.
I've seen quite a few other posts here regarding issues with iPhones (and iPod touches) not showing up in iTunes, so apparently this is a common issue, but none of them seemed to help my problem.
Do you have any ideas of anything else I can try?
Thank you very much!
