My podcast is listed under the wrong name.

I've changed and updated my name under apple-id settings, but it still shows the wrong name when I want to submit my podcast. Can anyone help?

Is the email address in the top righ-hand corner your Apple ID? I assume it is, but I have no idea why a different name is appearing. I would have thought it would have used the name in your Apple ID page at https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage as here:


If it doesn't match that I can only suggest you contact Support https://getsupport.applelcom


I've asked the Hosts to remove your image because it shows your email address/ID.

well the specific issue is that im using buzzsprout as host. I then try to list it on itunes through that. It redirects me to the site oh validation and submission, and there in the top right corner, it says a name, that isn't mine. And I have no clue how to change it. I've no real knowledge on apple products and services, as I use Android myself, but just want to distribute apple podcast. I don't know if it is the same as itunes, but I hope that helps clarifying my issue.


And thank you very much for your time!

You submit your feed at https://podcastsconnect.apple.com


To do this you need an Apple ID (which you have), and you have to p[emn an iTunes/Apple Music account, signing in their with your Apple ID, registering a payment method (though podcasting is free) and authorising your device to play iTunes Store/Apple Music purchases. You can't do this on Android as there is no iTunes there, but you can do this on Windows by installing iTunes for windows or on a Mac using iTunes or Apple Music (which one it is depends on the system you are using but they are basically the same thing).


The full submission process is descibed here:

If all this doesn't help you I need to see the URL of your feed, and a screenshot of what you see when you see the wrong name would be helpful.

Well it isn't the submission that is the problem, but the fact that it just simply isn't my name. In fact I have already submitted (accidentally, as i tried to solve the issue) This should be clear from this photo, and the first name in the top right corner just isn't mine. But when i log into my apple id on any regular website, like apple's own, it shows my actual first name.
