Perfectly good XML file no longer updating in iTunes

Hey there, forum.
Ok, so I have this podcast that has sucessfully updated 36 or so times, I've never had a problem until now.
The podcast XML file is updating just like it has been, and and I can go to http://www.imboredpictures.com/e78podcastfeed.xml and verify this. Episodes 1-37 show up just fine. But my most recent update (which has been posted for over 2 weeks) does not show up - either on the itunes store or when I select the "Update Podcast" command in my subscriptions. Users are also unable to subscribe to the podcast using the "Subscribe to Podcast" command in iTunes and then pasting in the URL that links to the xml file.
So, if someone could please offer any suggestions, and/or a reason why this thing would suddenly STOP working, pleas let me know.
Thanks!

Escape the "&" in line 46 - it's breaking the XML:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imboredpictures.com%2Fe7 8podcastfeed.xml
Hope this helps,
Greg

Xml file problems to update

hello experts i have a problem to update my xml file in mime folder im using resourcepath to generate the url then write it in.
so i have an iframe that load an html file in mime folder too. but this html show the xml file content but not show the last changed
can you help me pls !

i make the changes in the xml file using webdynpro:
xmlUrl = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath
(wdComponentAPI.getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(), "NOTICIAS/xml/eboseNews.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory factory;
factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setValidating(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document xmldoc = builder.parse(xmlUrl);
xmldoc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
//NUEVO NODO HIJO DE CHANEL
Element itemElement = xmldoc.createElement("item");
IPublicFormularioCust.ICabNoticiaElement elemCab = wdContext.currentCabNoticiaElement();
//NODOSS HIJOS DE ITEM
Element titleElement = xmldoc.createElement("title");
titleElement.appendChild(xmldoc.createCDATASection(elemCab.getTitulo().trim()));
Element linkElement = xmldoc.createElement("link");
linkElement.appendChild(xmldoc.createCDATASection("docs/" + elemCab.getLink().getResourceName().trim()));
Element descripElement = xmldoc.createElement("description");
descripElement.appendChild(xmldoc.createCDATASection(elemCab.getDescripcion().trim()));
Element categoryElement = xmldoc.createElement("category");
categoryElement.appendChild(xmldoc.createCDATASection(elemCab.getCategoria().trim()));
Element pubdateElement = xmldoc.createElement("pubDate");
pubdateElement.appendChild(xmldoc.createCDATASection(new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format(Constantes.FECHACTUAL)));
//AGREGANDO NODOS HIJOS A ELEMENTO ITEM
itemElement.appendChild(titleElement);
itemElement.appendChild(linkElement);
itemElement.appendChild(descripElement);
itemElement.appendChild(categoryElement);
itemElement.appendChild(pubdateElement);
//AGREGANDO ELEMENTO ITEM
Node channelNode = xmldoc.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("channel").item(0);
channelNode.insertBefore(itemElement, xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("item").item(0));
//Serializando el XMLDOC en un StringWriter
xmlSerializer.serialize(xmldoc);
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(new File(xmlUrl));
fw.write(sw.toString());
so later i can see the changes but when i reloaded the page dont appear the changes only have the information when i deployed the project. This xml is show in with javascript. This javascript belongs to html file that is loaded into a iframe.

Why are my response files no longer updating?

When I submit a form I get the appropirate messages telling me the data has been sent however they are not showing up in my response files. The files have been updating correctly for 6 months and now just stopped. I do have an error "could not access the network resource" but it seems like i have had that in the past without issues. Is that MY network or Adobe's? The response file location is correct and has not been changed. Version: Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.6

This was helpful I believe, however I couldn't manage to download it as I need the Adobe Application Manager to be able to do so and for the version I'm finding, my OS isn't new enough... even though my OS is Mac OS X 10.5.8 and it says the minimum requirements are 10.5 ...

XML file too long

Hi all,
I have the following problem regarding XML file.
I generate an XML file with following steps:
1) Populate an internal table;
2) Transform the internal table into an xml xstring variable, using CALL TRANSFORMATION command;
3) Write a file in binary mode (Open/Tansfer/Close).
The file produced is ok but if I open it with notepad, all the xml is written in one line.
Is there a way to write the file in more than one line?
Best Regards,
Raffaele

Hi,
You have to use a carriage return statement(^M) at the end of each line in ABAP to produce the file correctly this will help you to split the file in multiple lines rather than a single line in the Notepad. Also when you will open this in the notepad you can visualize the same format in comparision when youopen it in IE/Wordpad.
Hope this carifies you queries.
Cheers,
Jay

IPhoto albums no longer updating in iTunes

When I have the iPhone plugged into the Mac, and I go to the photos tab, I have selected to have the photos sync from iPhoto. This was working normally for a while but ever since I created an album and then deleted it, the albums under the photo section in iTunes no longer update. The folder I deleted is still there with 0 photos in it, but it is not in iPhoto.
As a result, any new albums I create and any new photos are not syncing to the iPhone. Nothing changes in iTunes anymore.
Things I have tried:
Updating to latest iTunes
Deleting iPod Photo Cache
Rebuilding iPhoto Database
Attaching a different iPhone
Deleting all iTunes application data and preferences
Deleting all iPhoto application data and preferences
Creating a new iPhoto Library and importing the old one, creating a couple of new folders and testing, this leads to iTunes saying there are two default folders with no photos
Deleting iTunes and iPhoto caches
Please help! I've run out of things I can think of that should work!

okay, so i just restarted my computer & the desktop changed.
i usually only sleep the computer & so the desktop doesn't change. even when i did shutdown/restart computer in the past, the desktop did not change. i think somehow this is all connected. it seems if i don't have whatever photo my desktop is saved on the desktop, it will change it back into some generic photo...should i just make an appointment at an apple store? i don't have iPhoto 08 & there have been no updates...

All episodes in XML file not showing up in iTunes

When I first posted all 5 of my podcast they showed up. Now only 1 episode is showing up. I checked my XML file and they're all there. Not sure what is going on.

I can no longer update my Itunes version and I also can't access online or phone support with their new support options because it won't accept my serial number. What's up? Did support go away?

I've been using Itunes for years with little problem and when one develops, it is quickly resolved. Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens. When I try to go to support, I select the Itunes downloading/synching option and basically, I can't proceed past the point of entering a valid serial number, because I'm not clear on which serial number it wants. It says hardware, so I supply my PC serial # (I own an ASUS laptop). I get an error message that this isn't a valid s/n, so I look for one for Itunes and can't find one anywhere. I try to follow their explanation of how to locate your serial # but it is extremely unclear and unhelpful. So now I'm stuck. I can't get past first base anymore. Did Apple come up with a clever way to end their support service without actually admitting it? Or am I just being particularly dense here? Any help is appreciated. Thx

Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

Feed is no longer updating in iTunes store

I have been using PodPress in our Wordpress site to produce our podcasts for over a year now with no problems. I have not made any changes in settings.
However, about 2 weeks ago, my iTunes feed stopped updating.
When I validate the feed, it says everything is OK.
Would this be a problem on my end or iTunes? I am not sure what might have changed on my end to stop the feed from showing up in iTunes. Everything I see looks good, but I also am not a genius at this, so if someone could help me out by telling me a few things to look for on this, I would appreciate it.
This is my feed address http://welcome2hope.org/category/podcastsfeed/feed/

You are correct in the Audio feeds from the 6th and 13th are showing up. However, on both dates, there should also be video versions of both podcasts coming down the feed.
So for example, I should have on 10/6 an audio and video version of "Worship" but as of this writing, I only have audio. Same goes for the "Mission 101" on both dates.
However, I just uploaded "Worship" for 10/13, 25 minutes ago and it has shown up in my iTunes feed. It was the last feed to be added.
So, it may be I am not giving enough time for it to post, but it is odd that the newest video that I posted is showing up, but not the older videos.
When I check my RSS feed reader, everything is there.

Original music files no longer play in iTunes

So I recorded a demo for my band and after several months of trouble-free playing on iTunes it has all of sudden decided that I am nt authorized to play these files anymore and I can't get them to open outside of iTunes anymore. HELP!!

I am experiencing the same problem

Updating xml file by iTunes library

I have several iTunes libraries, managing them with 'iTunes Library Manager', bought from Dougscripts.
When I add songs to my (main) library or make some changes in the data, all is perfectly visible in iTunes.
As I use the iTunes data in a FileMaker Pro program, I want of course to update the information in the FMP program by running a script which reads the newly added songs from the xml file of the (main) iTunes library.
This does not work, the newly added songs are not found.
When I save the library, select another library and subsequently reload the main library, it works.
Apparently, the xml file of the (main) library is not updated, unless it is forced by the saving, closing and reloading operation.
Is there another way to force the library to update its xml file?

My point is, that this does not happen.
While the library is in use and even after it or iTunes itself is closed, the xml file is not updated, at least my script cannot find the recently added songs.
Only after expressly saving the library and opening another library and reopening the original library, my script finds the new songs, so only then the xml file has been updated.

Reading from XML file and updating the table ????

Hi
I have package which reads the hier.XML file and does Update inserts into the 5 tables
i have table called MAIN_tbl with the column cur_date.
The package kicks if this cur_date is one day less than the hier.XML file DT.
Currently i m manually checking this date's to make sure the Main_tbl cur_date is n sync with
hier.XML file DT.
for example :- hier.xml file DT is "20091020" then main_table cur_date should be 10/19/2009
in order to kicks of the pakage.
what i m looking to do ??
compare the hier.xml DT with the main_table cur_date,
if cur_date is -1(Preivous day) of hier.xml DT then run hier_pkg(Package)
if not then update main_table cur_date to -1(previous day) of the hier.xml DATE
Then later write the above logic to update the main_table in a procedure, and
then call the package from the procedure.
below are the top few lines of the hier.XML file which is relevant to the one which we are trying to do
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<HIER_POSTING num ="111" HIER_TYP="CD" DT="20091020" Global="Y">
FYI : The hier.XML file is located in UNIX space.
How do i accomplish this. any idea ????
Thank you so much in advance. For giving a thought on this problem!!!

Any thought on this guys ???
Thanks!!

Hi,
There was no problem in this code. When I executed it worked well, anyway I changed slightly because to add more than one elements. I posted the entire code here:

Local Files will no longer update in CS3

Hi,
We've got a problem with DW CS3 that our local files no longer update. The practical upshot of this is that I have to use an external ftp program, and can no longer synchronise as DW thinks the files haven't changed. As you can imagine, this is a real pain in the proverbial... The remote files update normally. When working on, and saving, a file it saves ok. I've been through and checked via notepad that the code is updating. It's just that DW doesn't recognise that the file has changed. This also applies to any image files.
Tried a reinstall, and the same thing happens. We've checked all the settings we can think of, and can't see why anything wouldn't be working. We have been using on Vista successfully, but have just upgraded our machines and ended up on Vista 64 in the process, so don't know if that's got something to do with it.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated! We've been using DW for years (since version 1), and have never come up against anything like this before.
Thnx
Andrew

I haven't come across this particular problem before, but it sounds as though the cache file might have been corrupted. Instructions for deleting the cache file are in this post in the Dreamweaver FAQ. If deleting the cache file doesn't work, it's worth trying renaming or deleting the personal configuratin folder, details of which are in the same post.

.xml file not recreating

I'm trying to use iPhoto and sync to an iTunes playlist, but it turns out that my iTunes Music Library.xml file hasn't modified itself since December. That means it no longer matches my real library and iPhoto can't use it. I dragged the iTunes Music Library.xml file to my desktop, restarted iTunes, made a new playlist and added a song. When I quite iTunes, I briefly saw a temp file pop up in the iTunes folder, but no new .xml file was written. The same thing happens if I try to export my library to the desktop. There's a little blip of a file and then it's gone. Since the .xml file is old, I don't want to use it as a starting point to rebuild my real library, especially since it has all my iPad info on it.
I trashed iTunes and reinstalled it and repaired permissions.
Any other ideas? Thanks! - j

Found an old post that helped me out.
I looked at the creation time of the last .xml file and it was Dec. 6 @ 10:50. I checked my music files by "date added" and found a number of Xmas albums added at that time. There didn't appear to be any funky characters in their names, so I just deleted the 3 that I added right then. Nothing I listened to anyways. I looked back in the finder and "kaching!", a new .xml file was created.
Turns out one bad apple did spoil the whole bunch. Problem solved! - j

Is there a way to rebuild the ITunes Library XML file from my IPod?

After several promptings, I finally decided to install ITunes 7.4.3.1. Like a fool, I did not backup my entire library prior to doing this upgrade. Nothing is going to go wrong now mate, is it? Everything seemed to proceed just fine with the upgrade. I noticed that ITunes updated the XML Library in the process. Where the problems occured was after the upgrade, I was in the middle of listening to the latest "NPR Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" Podcast (I have some 3,000 downloaded podcasts in over 85GB worth of space) when ITunes crashed. When I brought ITunes back up, it had seemed to have reverted to an earlier backup ITunes Library XML file that I had made months ago.
I still have all of the .mp3, .m4a, .mp4 and .m4v files stored in my ITunes Music folder. Somehow when I brought ITunes back up, it had lost all of the music I had dowloaded from the ITunes store even though the files were still out on disk. It thought there were only 395 podcasts despite the 3,000 plus files out there.
Clearly, something went horribly wrong and I don't want to spend weeks downloading these files again when the only thing that really needs to be done is the ITunes Library XML data file needs to be rebuilt. It dawns on me that my IPod has an XML data file that save any updates I have not yet synced with it that it is quite current. Is there some way that I can sync my IPod with ITunes and copy the IPod XML data file into ITunes Library XML data file? I know that there must be some way to access the IPod since I can plug it into my Kenwood car stereo and read through the IPod's contents.
Is there anyone out there that has an idea that might be able to help me recover my ITunes library?
Thanks for any assistance,

The XML file is not used by iTunes. It is created for the use of other programs. Your library is in the itl file. SInce you still have the file you could simply add them to your library using the add folder option instead of downloading again.
