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.

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.

ITunes 9.0.1 not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8

Your help, please...
iTunes 9.0.1 is not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8.
Your ideas are welcome, because I'm out of them.
Thank you,
Dean Leutscher

It looks like part of the crash report is missing. But at the top of your message it states there's an issue with the xmlTextReader in Pages. I guess this means Pages is having trouble opening, closing or saving the document.
If this only happens with one Pages document then it may just be corrupt.
If this happens with any Pages document then I'd suggest deleting Pages, reinstalling it from DVD/Mac App Store, updating it and then trying to work with a document.
If this doesn't answer your question please provide more information eg what steps to take to cause the problem, if it happens with one or many documents, if you get any error message at all, etc.

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?

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If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.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.

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.

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.

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.
The following article(s) may help you.
Moving your iTunes library to a new computer

HT1351 My I Pod is not showing the Podcasts I have downloaded on the library section in my itunes and also on the Ipod but is showing in the spome 3000 plus eposides in the sync section but will not show on Ipod or Library section even after syncing pleas

My Ipod is Classic is not showing any podcasts which I have downloads either on the library within itunes or on the ipod but is showing in the syncing section some 3300 plus podcasts but even after syncing they are noty showing on the library or on the Ipod am missing a step here as I have ticked all before syncing ??
Is this a software failure ?

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Podcasts not showing in ipod podcast library

Since getting my new PC and transferring my library across my podcasts no longer show within the Podcast library on my ipod, they do show correctly on iTunes, they are only shown in the music library which is hardly convenient.
I have updated my ipod software to the latest version to see if that corrected it but it hasnt, I have reset the ipod settings on the player itself and that hasnt made any difference.
My movies, music videos and TV shows all show as snormal just not the podcasts.
Anyone else come across this? Anyone else got any suggestions on how to fix this, or know how to resolve this issue?

Recheck the podcast settings the next time you connect to your PC. Sometimes the setting defaults back to not syncing any podcasts. This happened to me once. For no reason I couldn't get my podcasts loaded on my ipod. I checked my settings and I had to reset it. No problems since then.

Music Podcasts - Artists Not Showing Up On Ipod

So my old beater ipod finally disappeared and I got a 80g ipod classic, and there appears to be an "improvement" that eliminates my ability to integrate my music podcasts. On my older ipod if I got, for example, a podcast from KCRW of a song by M. Ward, I could change the artist on itunes in the info section to "M. Ward" and it would then show up on my ipod under "M. Ward." On my new ipod, the only way I can find that podcast (which is just a song) is by searching for M. Ward - not very convenient. Seems kind of like itunes and the ipod are becoming like MS word, over engineered and unhelpfully paternalistic. Anyone have ideas for a work around? cheers, stu

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

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.

Podcasts no longer show in iPod player

I have been downloading both audio and video podcasts directly to my 1st gen. iPad via iTunes Store app for some time. Since the recent update, the podcast episodes appear to download, but do not show in the iPod player. I am getting apps to download from the App Store and they install just fine, but no podcasts from iTunes Store. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks Chris, you gave me the clue that I needed to figure it out. I had previously deeted the Podcasts app but somehow, it came back on my phone. Deleting it *again* restore the Podcast choice in the Music app.
I wonder if an app upgrade in ituens on my Mac triggered re-installation some how.

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).
