Podcast thumbnails are mixed up

I'm finding a funny thing seems to be happening with my iPod and itunes..
First I find that now when I download podcasts in itunes I get a load of failed downloads, (any thoughts why?) but secondly when I look at the thumbnails for each of the podcasts on the iPod they are all mixed up, all in the wrong place, what should I do, restore the iPod? or is there a better thing to do?
Thanks

I have the same problem, and it's really annoying because I'm always clicking the wrong podcast because usually one tends to look at the thumb first.

Thumbnail images are mixed up

can i please just ask if i should be very concerned (or if i should start splitting up my library into one or more libraries) if i am seeing a lot of "misplaced thumbnail images"? i am seeing other image thumbnails on the wrong images and when i click on the thumbnail (of a different image) is see the image that it actually is so obviously the image is there but the thumbnail is mixed up.
i am seeing a lot of this today and i tried a search but i am not searching with good enough wording to get solid advice.
TIA

Yes, you are right to be concerned. You should repair your Library after confirming that you have a back-up. If the repair is still corrupt, rebuild the Library.
Since corruption comes from something, you should also check your drives (and perhaps your memory, but that seems almost vanishingly rare these days).
Library size is a red herring. You can run TB Libraries with millions of Images. Aperture is faultless -- afaict -- in its handling of huge numbers of Images. (NB: I don't know the actual limits. I have tested up to 500,000 Images in complex 500 GB Libraries.)
Image size, however, can cause problems. IME it does not (my personal Library is almost all RAWs or 25 MB, with TIFFs of 50-100 MB). Léonie has reported problems with TIFFs that are hundreds of MBs.)

Changing Podcast thumbnails?

i working on my first Podcast page. I created the artwork in Photoshop, dragged and dropped that into my podcast in Garageband, and then exported the podcast to disk and then inserted it into a Podcast new entry template. Now, obviously in the entry page, when you drop the podcast in the placeholder, it shows the first graphic in the podcast.
I was wondering if its possible to have a different image on the podcast thumbnail when you are on the main podcast page? if so, how do I do it. Currently, the thumbnail shows the same image that is on the entry page.
thanks for any and all insight.

The thumbnail image on the main podcast page draws directly from the placeholder image on the entry page...as you know. But what you probably don't realize is that the placeholder image doesn't have to be the main image on your entry page.
For example....try this....
Do you have an image in mind that you want for the thumbnail image??? If so, go ahead and drop the image into the placeholder on the entry page. It should show up in the thumbnail, right? Good. Now here's what I want you to try... on the entry page and with the placeholder image selected, open up the Inspector and click to the Metrics tab. Click on the box that says "Use original size". See how the placeholder image changes? Now make sure that the "constrain" box above that is checked. Now change one of the parameters...either width or height....to make the placeholder image itty bitty...like 100 pixels or something. Finally, click over to the Inspector Graphics tab. All the way at the bottom you should see the opacity slider. Type 0% into the box...... Pooof! The placeholder image is invisible. But look on the main podcast page....the thumbnail is still there!
Does this give you any ideas? It should. My point is that you can simply use the placeholder image on the entry pages only to provide the link to the thumbnail on the main podcast page. Then you can get it out of the way. THEN you can put any number of other images onto your podcast entry page to make it as snazzy as you want. Each podcast entry is like an individual webpage. Create!

Listening to podcast or sport mix?

I prefer to listen to either a podcast or sport mix when I'm running, but I can't figure out how to do that. The guy at the Nike store told me I need to save my podcasts as MP3 files, and I've done that, and moved them into the selection for my nano. But I can't figure out how to associate them with a workout. Do I have to put them into a playlist in order to work out to them, or is there another method?

Hi Tharpo, unfortunately this is not a helpful answer, but a response from someone with a similar problem... I also prefer listening to podcasts while running, and have not figured out how to listen to more than one without pausing my workout. I tried putting a couple of podcasts into a playlist, starting them just before the run, and then selecting the "playing now" (or whatever it's called) playlist to accompany the workout. Didn't work - after the first podcast in the playlist I'd made finished, it simply restarted, and didn't proceed to the next podcast. Given that my runs are quite long, I definitely don't want to hear the same thing repeated over and over! Nor do I want to pause my workout. Any help out there would be much appreciated!

I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer. I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources. What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

My computer got infected with some terrible virus. I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places. A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly. Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album. Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album. I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible? When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data. I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing. It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Can you please CLEAN up the podcasts that are no longer in service or being maintained? It's very tedious to click on someone's podcast to find that it hasn't been updated in 3 years.

This is a user forum and it is best to post these inquiries to Apple Feedback:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
You are right, a lot of older dead podcasts do not belong in the podcasts section. But there is still a lot of these podcasts that have good information and deserve to still be listed. For example there is quite a few photography lesson based podcasts in which you can get good information from different sources.

Thumbnails are not displaying in LR4.4 64bit on I7 laptop with 16gb ram

I cannot get thumbnails to display the image in library mode. I can click on develop on a particular blank thumbnail (blank thumbnails are dislayed and they are numbered).
What settings do I change? I am using an i7 laptop with 16gb ram. Wins 7.

New Tab Page - thumbnails are not using the files from cache folder, but they want a connection to their origin website.

Hi there,
each time I visit a website, FireFox saves a thumbnail of all these sites for the "New Tab Page". Those thumbnails are cached in the 'thumbnails' Folder . That's so far ok for me.
The problem is:
Every time if I use the "New Tab Page" (...after shutdown & reopening the browser and only with 'mousehoover' on any thumbnail) all the thumbnails on that page don't use the cached thumbnails from the local profile folder.
This means:
Instead of using the cached thumbnail-files all(!) these thumbnails dials to their origin websites without(!) a mouseclick on any of these thumbnails (...see jpg pictures) !
I'm using the "Clear history when Firefox closes" with the following options:
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.history - false(!)
privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps - false
privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions - true
privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings - false(!)
So, i can't believe that this homedialing of pinned and unpinned thumbnails should be a normal function.
1. Screenshot: thumbnails in the New Tab Page
2. Screenshot: the same thumbnails in the Cache Folder "thumbnails" (...also they are there after shutdown of Firefox)
3. Screenshot: Dialing to the origin websites (...after restart of Firefox)
The Browser Version is Firefox ESR 31.2.0 and in the installation are no Add-ons, which are - for example - prefetching linked websites.
I would like to use the "New Tab Page" without 'homedialing', so the question is:
How can I force the thumbnails to use the cached thumbnail-files ?
or
How can i disable the 'loading of content from their origin websites' already on mousehoover ?

There is a preload pref available that you could try to disable on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*browser.newtab.preload = false
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day.
There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Could someone help me restore my photos? I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo. I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point. My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database" step and now I have a mess. Help, please. Thank you.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My older podcast episodes are missing on iTunes.

Just noticed last week that my nine oldest podcast episodes are no longer on itunes. They're alive and well on my blog page so I'm nor sure what happened. Did I reach some magical quota on iTunes? I have no clue how to resubmit or do any of that stuff. Thanks for any help!

iTunes imposes no limit (at least up to 300). Many podcast creation programs or services limit the number of episodes in the feed, removing older ones when this limit is reached. There is usually a setting to increase this number.
However there might be other reasons; but it's not really possible to comment unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'. Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

IPhoto thumbnails are blank, but maximized photo shows up.

I had to power of my iMac while iPhoto was uploading some photographs. When I turned it back on, iPhoto prompted me to restore the library. I said yes. Now the thumbnails aren't appearing, and when you double click a photo to maximize it, it briefly shows up with the grey yeild "!" icon and then the photo shows up, but the thumbnails are still grey. Is there a fix for this?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails. It could take more than one pass to get the job done.

Thumbnails are completely blacked out

My thumbnails are completely blacked out (version XI). How can I make them show correctly?

It is happening on my Windows 8 computer at home and my windows 7 computer at work. I have adobe pro and reader XI at work and adobe reader XI at home. The documents I am trying to open are text books. I have contacted my school and they see them fine on their side, but I can't see them on mine so they told me it was a glitch on my side. They even resent me their document that opened correctly and I couldn't see it on my side.
