Podcast Image Not Showing Up in iTunes

I have a podcast and it has not been updated when I view it in iTunes on my iPhone
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-holy-temple-church-lord/id348263532
When I view it in iTunes on my desktop it is updated but the logo never shows up.

The logo is appearing in the Store page. Your feed is at
http://webhost4life.com/templates/lightsOut.bml?lightsoutuser=holytemple
however it's not possible to subscribe to it (which is why your iPhone isn't working) because the site has been suspended. You will have to take this up with webhost4life.com.

Podcast Channel Not Showing Up In iTunes

I submitted my podcast to iTunes 3 days ago and I can manually subscribe to the podcast channel but it is not showing up in iTunes itself.
Here is the feed:
http://www.frontlinechurch.tv/podcast/frontline-podcast.xml

The feed is fine and the image is correctly embedded in the episode I checked (the latest one); it appears when subscribing in iTunes.
As I don't have an iPhone or an iPod Touch I can't check its behaviour there, and I don't know how these devices are supposed to handle this.
However there are two points about the image which might be an issue, though I don't know: its size is 691 x 691 - it should be 600 x 600: this isn't a problem in iTunes, but as I say I don't know whether it might affect an iPhone. Also the resolution is 180ppi - this is pretty academic on a computer, but normally it would be 72 ppi. You could try changing one of the images - of course you would have to re-upload the media file - and see whether it helps.
If it doesn't your best bet would be to ask in the iPhone Forum where someone would be able to check this for you.
One further point: your episodes are missing the 'itunes:duration' tag which should contain the duration as h:mm:ss - this doesn't prevent the episode from playing correctly, but the durations won't show in the Store or in subscribing (until the episode is fully downloaded).

Podcast image not popping up in itunes store / itunes program

hi people,
question:
i've made a podcast but the image is not popping up in the itunes store and the itunes program. the podcast was approved 2 days ago though. also the 'author' is not showing.
this is the feed:
http://www.scientific.nl/rss/mav-podcast.rss
and this is the itunes link:
http://itunes.apple.com/nl/podcast/mav-scientific-records-scientific/id415350042
i've read some other threads about this topic, but i don't seem to be able to solve it. i read that the <itunes:image> tag needs to be included. when i do that though, then itunes will not accept my feed at all. i get this little 'i' sign when i check the feed in the itunes program.
it looks like whenever i put a <itunes:something..> in my .rss file, then it won't accept the feed at all.
i've now inserted a normal <image> tag in there. itunes then does accept the feed, but the image doesn't show.
also i've made the image 600x600 now. it was smaller before so i thought maybe that would be the problem. tried .jpg and tried .png .. both not succesful.
anyone got any idea?
greets
mischa

Instead of 'image href' your tag should start 'itunes:image href'
But the reason that's not working is that you don't have the declaration at the top of your feed. The first two lines must read:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
Without this no 'itunes' tags will work.

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.

Podcast art not showing up in iTunes

Hey Guys,
I recently startd a music podcast using blogger / feedburner. It was approved and is appearing in iTunes, but the artwork is not showing in the store.
I had originally used a 1400x1400 png image per apple's instructions, but just switched it to a jpg after reading somewhere that jpg is now the preferred format.
Any Ideas ?

Cheers!

PNG should be perfectly OK, but JPG is fine. Your image is correctly referenced in the feed and exists on the server; the Store can be quite slow to pick up images, so I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting until it does.

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.

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.
Pedro Sanchez, Jr.

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 is not showing up in iTunes podcast section

Hi I've got a podcast that use to show up in iTunes but now it doesn't. I'm not sure but I think it has to do with how my content is produced. If you want to check it out the URL is http://www.archiveclassicmovies.com/acm.rss.
Thanks,
Scott

you should double check your rss feed my rss feed had a problem like that. and i didn't know it but i went to www.feedvalidator.org they will tell you if anything is wrong with your feed and if there is anything wrong they will tell you how to fix it. hope this helps
i just checked your rss feed and they said this... "Unable to validate, due to hardcoded resource limits (feed length > 200000 bytes)"
so i hope this helps you check it out for yourself : )

Single Podcast Episode Not Showing up in iTunes

The second episode of the ExactTarget Developer Podast is not showing up. This was originally related to a bad link which was subsequently fixed. Any idea of what is happening or how it can be fixed?
Podcast: ExactTarget Developer Podcast
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ExactTargetDeveloperPodcast

The media file URL for the missing episode has two spaces after the '.mp3' and before the double quotes; it seems possible that this is causing iTunes to be unable to read the URL.

Podcast Image wont show up in iTunes

I have started my podcast, using feedburner and and blogger, and I uploaded my podcast image to feedburner. However, when iTunes downloads the feed for the Podcast, it downloads all the episodes, descriptons links and what not, but it wont download the image. Why? How can I get it to download the image. I havent yet posted the feed to the iTunes store, I want to get it perfect before I do. Here is the feed URL. You can still use it in iTunes but it just wont get the image. Right now, i only have the test episode, to make sure it works, it does, i just need the image.
You can open the feed in Safari, or iTunes. Itunes will only pick up the audio podcast though. Which is what I want it to do.

Some Podcast episodes not showing up in iTunes

Can anybody help? I've been using iWeb 1.1.1 without a hitch for awhile. The other day I updated to OS X 10.4.7. Made a change to something in iWeb, then published it. Now, only 3 of six podcasts show up in iTunes, shows 1, 4 and 6. Weird huh? Is this because of the OS X update? Anyone else experiencing this kind of problem?

figured it out

Artwork, author, summary etc for my podcast is not showing up in iTunes. WHY?

Hi!
I added a podcast feed (and got it approved) to iTunes a week ago, and I can now find the first (and so far only) podcast episode in iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/se/podcast/allt-vi-sager-ar-sant/id601876036?mt=2
But as you can see, iTunes is not picking up the information about author, subtitle, summary, artwork etc. What's wrong? Does anyone know?
I'm using Blogger, Feedburner and Smartcast. I entered all the information about author, subtitle, artwork etc, into Smartcast.
My original feed is here: http://alltvisager.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
And my feed adress at feedburner is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/AlltViSagerArSant
Can anyone help me?
/Lisa

The Store is picking up exactly what is in the specified tags in the feed:
I don't know whether that's the text you were hoping to see. Your feed has a large amount of formatted text in the 'description' tags, but iTunes does not read this tag.
This page illustrates what tags appear where in the Store and when subscribing:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/itunestags.html
(It's for the previous version of iTunes but the differences are slight, just a matter of layout.)
Note however that the image referenced in the feed does not appear when subscribing - the image has to be actually embedded in the media file. Please see this page for details:

My podcast is not showing up in iTunes

I just took over managing my Church's podcast, and we use an XML file on our server to update our podcast. I made quite a few changes recently to the xml because there were a lot of errors according to a feed validator. iTunes seemed to make the changes, but now they haven't updated my last two podcasts.
Also, this podcast was made before you needed an apple ID connected to it, and I was wondering if there's a way to link an Apple ID to the podcast (or if that's even necessary).
iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/l2-denver-church-podcast/id212089257?mt=2
Podcast XML: http://www.l2today.com/L2_Podcast.xml
Any help would be great! Thanks!

You have introduced a fatal error into your feed which is rendering it unreadable by iTunes - when subscribing it shows as empty, and the Store will not update and is showing a cached version.
The error is in your episode of 22 June:
<enclosure url="http://www.l2today.com/itunes_podcast/ReasonableFaith/AReasonableFaith-Improving Effectiveness.mp3” type="audio/mpeg" />
You've closed the URL with 'curly quotes" (I've enlarged and coloured them because at standard size you can't see it). This usually arises from copying from a word processor where 'smart quotes' are set up; XML does not allow this, you must use the standard straight quotes.

Podcast submitted but not showing up in iTunes

I submitted my podcast to iTunes two weeks ago. When I try to resbumit to iTunes, it says that the feed has already been submitted. But the podcast does not show up in iTunes when I search for it.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/IBozo
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

They probably just haven't got round to assessing it yet: I can't give you a hard and fast answer about how long it takes but 2-3 weeks seems perfectly possible. When it's been accepted you will get an email including a URL for the Store page.
Note by the way that the episode 'Drunken Sailors' has two 'enclosure' tags, both containing 'drunkensailor.mp3' but one from www.quass.com and one from Feedproxy. Only the first one will show in iTunes: multiple enclosure tags within one 'item' are not recognized. Otherwise the feed is apparently OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu).

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.
