Podcasts not in menu

I have downloaded some podcasts (eg Dr Who commentary from BBC site). They come to desktop as an mp3 file which I then add to the itunes library.
Can I get them to appear in the podcast menu on both ipod and itunes? Not critical, but more tidy. Is it a setting or does the file have to be in a particular format?
thanks

I found the problem. For some reason the sync checkbox wasn't selected on the Podcasts tab when I connected my iPod. I checked it and that fixed the problem...

Podcasts not on ipod and two icons in itunes?

I have been listening to podcasts for months but all of a sudden I'm getting problems...
I synced my ipod with my new podcasts but found that the podcast folder on my ipod said 'no podcasts'. They weren't in the music folder either, but when I used the search function I did find them.
When I checked in itunes there was now two itunes icons in the drop down menu with past podcasts that have been long deleted (they couldn't be played as they no longer exist! I did check on the computer for the files and they can't be found).
I can't delete the second icon and can't find a way to make them visible on my ipod classic.
Thanks for the help,
Gary

Well, I reset the nano by holding the menu and center buttons, twice. I dont know what that was supposed to do but nothing changed, not the menu or the amounts of free space. Im going to try a restore now...which I dread because filling an iPod from a library larger than the capacity of the iPod is a pain.

Submitted podcast not in store

I have tried submitting a podcast to Itunes, to limited success. The RSS feed is valid; users can subscribe to the podcast using the Menu: Advanced: Subscribe to Podcast method, but the podcast has not appeared in the Podcast section of the iTunes store, no matter how many times I've tried to submit it in the past several months. Any ideas?

When you submit a podcast it has to be checked for acceptablility; obviously this requires human intervention so it can take some time to get a response: however it's not usually months. If it's accepted you should get an email telling you so and giving you the Store page URL: if it's rejected you should also receive an email, though they are no usually specific about the reason. The Subscribe to Podcast method has nothing to do with this: it will work with a valid feed even if it's never been submitted.
Possibly you are stuck in the queue somehow: or perhaps it was rejected and the message didn't reach you for some reason. You say you've submitted it more than once: normally subsequent attempt would get an automated message saying it's already been submitted - obviously you've not seen those either.
Presumably you have followed the correct procedure, submitting the feed URL at
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
and giving them an email address.

Podcasts not fully downloading

When I download any podcast from itunes - it does not download the full podcast. For example a podcast , I know is 15 minutes long - itunes downloads about 3 minutes.
I tunes does not post any errors and says ''Done'' when downlading is complete.
Purchasing songs however is not a problem.
Can anybody help?

I've had the same problem with podcasts not downloading automatically. The following from The Complete Guide to iTunes Books, Podcasts + iTunes U is the most likely explanation:
"...iTunes will stop downloading new podcast episodes automatically for any podcasts that you have not listened to in at least five days. This is presumably to prevent your library from getting cluttered with podcast episodes that you don’t regularly listen to, however some users who may want to collect episodes for infrequent listening may find this to be annoying. Simply selecting these stale podcasts and initiating a manual update by right-clicking and choosing Update Podcast from the context menu will resume regular automatic downloads until the next five-day cycle elapses. Mac users who would rather see this automated can check out the Update Expired Podcasts AppleScript at Doug’s AppleScripts for iTunes, which will force regular batch-updates of all of your podcasts."

Podcast Cover Image & Recent Podcasts Not Appearing

I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get the Podcast Cover Image to appear on my client's iTunes podcast page both within iTunes and on Apple's iTunes website. When I'm subscribed to it, it does show up. What am I doing wrong?
Additionally I'm having a problem with my last 3 podcasts not appearing, and I can't figure out what happened there.
Below are links to the page on Apple site and the feed I'm using, but please let me know if I need to provide more. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/living-grace-lutheran-church/id348311926?mt=2
feed://livinggraceomaha.org/lg-sermonpodcasts.xml

Your feed is OK, except that most of your episodes do not have 'guid' tags, and your enclosure tags are missing the 'length' attribute which should show the file size in bytes. Neither of these is serious and they would not cause a problem.
The Store does go through slow patches sometimes: there have been numerous occasions when people have complained about not seeing updates for two or three weeks, and I'm afraid that you've probably just hit one of these. There isn't really anything you can do about it. You could try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com, but frankly you are likely to get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know). I'm afraid that it's just a question of waiting.

Some Podcasts not working since upgrading to 1.2

Ever since I upgraded my IPOD to version 1.2, I have found that some podcasts which I subscribe to no longer work. It downloads and transfers to my IPOD OK, but when I go to play it my IPOD shuts down then eventually restarts. So far it seems to happen with KCRW's the Treatment, Creative Screenwriting & WFUV podcasts. I know I could probably restore it back to the previous version but I'd rather not as I have already paid for a game which I know only works with the new functionality (plus I like playing it). Anyone else found this?

There's another thread about this somewhere - many people have had this problem. I've had it with the Creative Screenwriting podcasts, which are the only ones to which I subscribe.
The thread proposed a workaround - start the podcast not at the beginning but one second in. You have to select the podcast, then I think do a Get Info or something - there's some way to find Options, then Start Time, then input 1 or 2 seconds in (with the CS Podcasts, this is fine, since Jeff tends to yakk on for at least two minutes before the interviews begin!)
I've not yet tried it, but it seems to have solved problems on the other thread, accepted as a workaround until Apple fixes it.

Firefox opens but nothing shows/load in the window, not even menu buttons

I open Firefox & a window opens but nothing loads or shows up, not even menu buttons. Occasionally when you blindly click around some menus will open but options beyond that don't produce anything.
I have (not necessarily in this order):
Uninstalled Firefox, deleted all remaining folders, then reinstalled (twice).... didn't help.
Reverted PC back to before Firefox updated... didn't work.
Uninstalled, Debugged my PC, reinstalled.... didn't work.
Turned off firewalls & switched settings to make sure nothing was blocking it from working.... didn't work.
At this point, after surfing Mozilla support site & not finding anyone else having this exact issue I'm not sure what else to do. I love Firefox & want to keep using it (I HATE using Internet Explorer) but the only other solution I can think of is use Google Chrome or IE.
I have Windows 7, use McAfee, & SpyHunter. My laptop is less than 5 y.o. & I keep thing updated reg. so I don't think anything should be out of date or incompatible.
Thanks!

Hello,
Currently in version 33, Firefox has implemented a new, faster way of loading webpages. This new feature is called OMTC. However, there are still some tweaks Mozilla developers are making to this.
There is a known issue that Mozilla works on very hard to fix: if you are experiencing black webpages on some sites, here's what you can do to avoid the problem in the meantime:
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
To disable Hardware Acceleration
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
* In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
* In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
Now, exit Firefox, wait a few seconds, and then start it normally.
Please let us know if this solves the problem. Engineering is also gathering more information about the issue would request that you fill out [http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1851506/1c87a6cf309a this survey]
I should also mention that other users with this problem had an embedded intel hd graphics card with an old driver present. Until Mozilla comes up with a fix, if you want Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, you can try to update your driver through the appropriate link below to see if that helps:

In iTunes, podcasts are sorted in the library alphabetically. In Version 1.2.1, there is no order and there are duplicates. Can you sort the library? and how do you remove duplicates of the same podcast (not episode)?

Podcasts not working properly?

Nano 7thG Podcasts will either stop part way through or will skip and repeat the beginning. I've tried 5 different podcast's all from different people..

Perhaps that's why Apple posted the update!
You are probably correct when you suggest that "third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file" has something to do with it. Maybe the people who create the Apple Quick Tip of the Week haven't checked to make sure what they do actually works.
I had a video (converted by iTunes for the iPod) that caused my iPod 160GB to crash, twice. Since that video was not that important to me, I removed it and it will not go back on regardless of software updates. These things happen. However, to someone like me who grew up with vinyl records, the iPod is fantastic!

Podcast not listed in directory

Yesterday I received an email notification that my podcast has been approved. The link they sent does take me to the podcast. However, it does NOT show up in the directory itself. Any ideas why?
Just to avoid any confusion: I have an old podcast listed by the same name ("CrossWay Church Sermon Podcast"), but it's not the right one. I can't remove it because the feed no longer exists, and no one from iTunes will remove it for me--I've been trying for weeks. You'll know it's the old feed if it lists the artist as "Nathan Hyde." The correct and active feed lists the artist as "Pastor Nathan Hyde."
My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CrossWay
Thanks!

Are you trying to find it by browsing? If so, as explained below, you will not see it in Browse because the Christianity category no longer will display any new podcasts.
The problem is that many new podcast listings will NOT appear in the iTunes Browse function. For example my podcast of BOOK HOBBY will not appear in Literature, just as certainly hundreds and possibly thousands of other podcasts will disappointingly not appear in their proper Browse categories. The problem is in the way that iTunes displays browse categories. It will only display 1,000 titles in each category maximum. Anything beyond the 1,000 titles is simply not at all displayed in that browse category. So, for example, in the Literature category I can easily and quickly find dozens and dozens of podcasts that have not been updated in more than a year, which have bad descriptions, which duplicate themselves over and over, whose rss files result in errors, but my podcast which I frequently update and which follows all the rules cannot be found by browsing in the main catgeory of Literature I want it to be found in because, well, 1,000 displayed is it. It does not matter how long you wait.
I wrote to Apple about this a few months ago (late February). I had to write more than ten emails before I finally got to someone who had any concept of what I was talking about. They wrote back that they were aware of this problem and that it would be fixed "in a few weeks."
So what I have had to do was to choose two other categories that have less than 1,000 displayed to appear in and that sort of works. It only sort of works because the whole point of catgorization should be to put thing in the BEST categories. I did, for reasons of a proper power-search, keep the main category Literature.
I have to say that I am amazed that with all the FAQs from Apple that are dead wrong about this, with so many people having their podcasts not shown as they should be, with the resulting problems to users, that the whole podcast community is not talking about this on every Forum in every venue that supports podcasting. This is not just a small problem. This cuts to the heart of people starting new podcasts.
After writing the above I decided to see how widespread this iTunes bug is -- are there just a few categories affected? I was astonished at how many Browse categories now have 1,000 listings and will not, for reasons of the display bug or problem or design show any further new ones. If you are doing a new podcast in the following areas, well they already display 1,000 listings and your podcast will not appear in the Browse there. Here are the affected categories:
Arts:
Literature
Performing Arts
Design has 900, soon to be filled.
Business:
Business News
Investing
Management & Marketing
Careers has 977, soon to be filled.
Comedy
Education:
Higher Education
Training
Games & Hobbies:
Video Games
Health:
Fitness
Self-Help
Kids & Family (has 996, very soon to be filled)
Music
News & Politics
Religion & Spirituality:
Christianity
Spirituality
Society & Culture:
Personal Journals
Places & Travel
Sports & Recreation:
Professional
Outdoor (has 919, soon to be filled)
This is a serious problem. Certainly all podcasts can be found by power search. But the point of Browse categories is to allow people to discover new things, to allow them to explore all the wonderful podcasts being offered.
I am NOT an Apple basher. People who know me, know that. I founded and ran all of the Apple-related and Macintosh areas on CompuServe (the MAUG Forums) for almost 20 years. I was the founding Editor-in-Chief of MACUSER Magazine and ran that publication for some years. I love Apple, absolutely.
But I do not understand why they have not addressed this problem with the Browse categories in the iTunes store as to how iTunes displays them. I trust they will but I hope it will be sooner rather than later.

Republished entire site–7 out 14 podcast not loading

After updating iWeb, I republished my site that I had been working on. www.rcogop.com the podcasts are under RCOGOP Sermons. All of these podcasts were created in Garage Band using the same file by dragging the main track out and replacing it each time, export to iTunes, Convert to mp3 to cut down file size, rename, placed into iWeb via the media browser, published to my server account via FTP .
All of these podcasts are newly published at the same time. The three at the bottom of the list work and the four at the top of the list work. The four in–between do not work. The page for the podcast opens as usual. Where the controler bar should be, is a transparent Quicktime icon.
The actual media files are on the server and will play in Safari. If I log into my FTP account via Safari and click directly on the file it opens in a new window and plays.
This is what's puzzling me. If, I open the site from a folder on my computer everything works. It is only when I publish it to the Server that it doesn't work. Note again only some podcasts do not work.
Apple Care tech''s told me to delete everything on my server and republish. I did all 86mb. Takes a while with a 256kb upload speed.
Why would some of these podcasts not link correctly?
Has anyone else had this trouble?
Any, help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

I created a new podcast series and started from scratch using the same format the same audio files the same everything. I basically copied and pasted all of my text and images over from the old series.
(The only changes)
1. Instead of using the media browser, I drug the audio straight out of the finder.
2. I renamed the audio files with shorter names, no spaces and no hyphens,commas,apostrophes etc...
3. I noticed some of the dates did not match from the entry to the entry list. I corrected them. NOTE (This did not affect the podcast working. Some of the ones with unmatched dates DID work. All of the ones that DID NOT work had dates that matched in both the entry and the entry list?)
After I finished the new series, I deleted the old one, saved (+S), published to a new folder and uploaded the site after deleting everything on the server again.
(My Suggestion)
1. DO NOT edit a podcast series created before the 1.1 update after updating iWeb to 1.1.
Start a new series
(Comment)
I like iWeb for its simplicity.
I don't like not being able to view the HTML for trouble shooting.
But, I suppose that goes beyond simple.

Podcast not showing all the episodes in my feed

When i created my podcast i think i selected to only keep the latest 10 episodes by mistake. How could i correct this without deleting my current podcast and resubmitting a new feed to itunes?
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
right now its showing episodes 44 and up. i'd like it to start at 1 and keep them all.
Thanks for the help.

iTunes is indeed using the second feed you list but this immediately redirects to the first feed when you enter the URL in a browser. Presumably you have a redirect in place on the server? There are 115 episodes in the Store, and though I didn't count the ones in the feed they seem to match. So it all seems to be working and you could probably just leave it alone - since you have added episodes to the feed and iTunes has (presumably) picked then all up, the redirect seems to be working there OK. (Next time you add an episode to the feed, make sure it does indeed appear in the Store - after a couple of days - and when subscribing - this latter is immediate).
If you really want to change iTunes to the feed directly you are going to have to go through a bit of a process:
1. Copy the feed at http://construct.wickedbad.net/feed/podcast to the other location at
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
2. Add the redirect tag to this copy feed as indicated here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
3. Remove the server redirect.
4. Leave the copy feed in place until iTunes has swapped over (check this by subscribing from the Store page, clicking the line for your podcast (not an episode) and clicking the 'i' button at the right-hand end.
