Apple seems unable to reinstate my podcast after my rss feed is active again

I had a podcast on iTunes for several years called Punk Rock Pariah with Grendel. It was located here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-pariah-with-grendel/id448777825
At some point my website was not renewed. This caused my rss feed to go down, and itunes removed my podcast from the iTunes store. Now that I have my website again, I have the exact same rss feed as before, and I cannot figure out how to get my podcast reinstated. I have spent over an hour on the phone with Apple, and the person who responded to my support ticket I submitted clearly did not read my complaint because the response ignored some key facts. My RSS feed is: http://punkrockpariah.com/rss
They have given me two solutions, neither of which work:
1) Delete the rss feed from iTunes myself.
Because it is not showing up in the store, I cannot manage the podcast there, and thus cannot delete it and resubmit it.
2) Resubmit the podcast RSS.
I cannot do this because when I try, it says it is a duplicate RSS. I even tried altering it through a service like feedburner, which uses the original rss to produce a new one, but iTunes still recognizes it as the original.
So, I don't really know what to do. They have no workable solution and no answer on how to make a workable solution.
Thoughts?

You can try contacting iTunes Podcasting - per the email address - podcasts AT apple (dot) com
Tell them you want to get your show reactivated and that your feed is
http://punkrockpariah.com/rss
And this goes for the iTunes store page:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/punk-rock-pariah-with-grendel/id448777825
If they can not get you back up then you would need to slightly change your show title and the RSS feed URL - and then resubmit to iTunes the new feed.
But first I would suggest you try emailing apple and asking them to get you back and active again.

Podcast any website, RSS feed or PDF document

Want to make your iPod experience even better? Would you like to listen to websites and RSS feeds you normally read?
Give http://podcastly.com a try. They have tools that allow you create podcasts from websites, RSS feeds, PDF documents or your own text.
If anyone has seen anything like this site let me know what it is, I'd like to compare them.
Thanks!

> subscribe to RSS feed from an external website to have the data available in a list or library
As a link or as a list of data from the feed?
If as a link:
An RSS feed is just an XML delivered via a URL. Add the Link to a Document content type to your library and then just link to the RSS feed using its URL.
See here:

If as a displayed list of data:
Just use the RSS web part, a third party web part or a SharePoint Designer Data View Web Part to connect to the data and display it as a list of items.

I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes. Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

Video podcast with multiple RSS feeds

We have a new video podcast at LetsKnit2gether.com and we have three RSS feeds for our show, each with a different video file format. We’re using WordPress with PodPress to create the RSS and then we manually cut and paste the others. We have two problems:
One – We can’t seem to get the multiple feeds to show up correctly in iTunes (the desktop software, not the music store – we haven’t submitted to the iTunes store yet.) I can paste one RSS URL in the Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast window and subscribe to the feed but I can’t subscribe to any of the other two. When I try they appear for a second and then disappear. Tried in both iTunes 6 and 7 on PC and Mac. I’m guessing there is something in the iTunes software that prevents similar feeds. I read as much on the Apple iTunes tutorial page but our feeds are following the rules as far as I can tell. (www.feedvalidator.org says all is well too.) Once you subscribe to one you can’t change your mind and subscribe to one of the others ever again, ever! ...even if you delete the one you subscribed to first.
There are several video podcasts that I’ve subscribed to via iTunes software that have multiple feeds (GeekBrief, Rocketboom, 88slide, etc.) so I know this can be done, I just have to figure out what’s causing iTunes to choke.
Anybody have any clue what’s going on?
Two – We’re doing cut and paste on the WordPress generated feed to make the multiple xml files. This is going to become a bigger and bigger task as time goes on and we generate more shows. I’d like to just push a button and generate all three feeds from the blog. Is there a plug-in for Wordpress or stand alone software that will do this? I don’t mind paying for software if it saves us time.
Thanks!
Eric

Podcast from an rss feed does not play entire episode

I recently subscribed to a podcast on ITunes via an RSS feed. Everything downloads fine and plays on my pc. However when I try to listen on my I pod nano, it will only play 7 to 10 minutes of each 2 hour episode. Please help!

The RSS feed goes to your Mail right? Are you trying to redirect them to another email account? You could use a Mail Rule for that.

Podcasting with iWeb- RSS FEED TITLE?!?!!?!?

Alright, I put my podcast together using Audacity for the most part but used the new Garage Band to fix it up and add an introduction. Then I exported it in to iWeb from Garage Band to publish it to the web. You can see it for yourself at podcast.notsam.com. Now, for some reason when one hits subscribe to podcast from the site it appears with the RSS feed URL as the title. For this same reason iTunes won't accept it as the "Feed doesn't have a title." Am I missing something here. Obviously I created a title for it, and it does have one before I upload. Any help? Thanks

iWeb appears to name the RSS feed from the title text that appears on the picture frame at the top of your initial weblog page. This defaults to "My Blog" - hence your RSS feed gets this name.
I've managed to fix it in mine - http://web.mac.com/karen.hughes/iWeb/Curlypaws/Curlypaws%20Blog/Curlypaws%20Blog .html - note how the title on the picture (not the page title) is "Curlypaws Blog" and if you subscribe to the RSS feed, that is what it will be called. Not very intuitive - it puzzled me until I read the earlier post in here from jayeaster and then played around with my own site.

TS1424 When trying to purchase and subsequently play programs on Apple TV keep getting message: "Apple TV unable to connect to server at this time. Please try again later." Able to play previews and trailers on Apple TV and able to play programs on Netfli

Last night I was watching programs on Apple TV with only one problem: I was not able to purchase the entire season of "Homeland" but could purchase and watch individual episodes. Today I am able to watch only previews and trailers from iTunes. After attempting to purchase a program I keep getting the message: "Apple TV is. Unable to connect to the server at this time. Please try again later." I am able to watch programs on Hulu, Netflix, etc. without problems.
Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

How to submit a podcast with an RSS feed to iTunes

According to this page -- http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#submitting -- "In the left column of the Podcasts page, in the Learn More box at the bottom, click on the Submit a Podcast link." I'm not able to find the Learn More box. How do I submit a podcast to iTunes?

You have to create one with a hosting provider, or create one yourself: see this apple article: http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#_Toc526931673
You can also use an app like Feeder (http:/reinventedsoftware.com/feeder/) for Mac.

Podcast through weebly rss feed

I have a weebly website. Does anyone how I would podcast through that site? I'm having some trouble. I think the majority of my trouble is that I'm an utter newb at the whole podcasting thing, but none the less, stupid Weebly smh. Thanks.

I'm afraid I can'd advise specifically on Weebly, but it may help you to read my get-you-started page on podcasting so that you're clear on the basic principles:

My podcast isn't updating in iTunes despite the fact that my RSS feed is updating just fine. Help?

I posted an episode about a week and a bit ago. It was viewable on the RSS feed but not on iTunes. After a week went by I tried reposting it plus the next day I posted another new episode as a test. Neither appeared in the podcast.
My RSS feed seems fine. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi Jacolli,
I have recommended Libsyn.com for the past 7 Plus years. I have worked for them for the past 5 years - so I am a little biased. But again I was recommending them before I worked for them.
Libsyn is the largest podcast host. 90% of the top audio comedy podcast host with libsyn. And any given week 30 to 50% of the top audio podcast in iTunes top 200 list are podcasts using libsyn.
If you are using Feedburner - switching is simple. We can import in your files from your source feed - and then you can just repoint feedburner to the new libsyn feed. Then going forward all you have to do is upload a file - enter a title and description and hit publish - it is that easy.
feel free to email me off the board for more info - rob at wizzard dot tv

RSS Feeds on Podcast(not working)

I use Go daddy as my host not .mac which I am starting to believe is the cause of the problem.
http://www.johnnyjungle.com/JungleRadio/JungleRadio.html
is my page that I am having problems with so you can see for yourself....does anyone know why the RSS feeds won't work?

ok we're getting closer this helped but still not correct.
I entered the site in the box however it doesn't give the right link in the box.
I tried renaming my file a few times however nothing seems to work
Instead of giving the correct RSS feed it includes the file name
so instead of being feed://www.johnnyjungle.com/Jungle_Radio/rss.xml
it comes up at feed://www.johnnyjungle.com/JohnnyJungle/JungleRadio/rss.xml
as my file name is Johnny Jungle. I tried making it http://www.johnnyjungle.com for the file name but it does the same thing.
I'm so close please help

Doesn't seem to play podcasts after 1.02 update.

My shuffle doesn't seem to be able to play podcasts after the 1.02 update. I drag songs onto the shuffle in iTunes and it loads. The playlist for the shuffle says the podcast file is on there. I disconnect the shuffle and hit play. The light blinks between green and orange a couple times and that's it. The little card that shows error messages says my shuffle is empty. I plug the shuffle back into the computer and iTunes still shows that file is on the shuffle.
This has started since the 1.02 update. If I put other files like MP3s on my shuffle, they work fine. I've tried doing the 'restore' function and it didn't help. Podcasts tend to be bookmarked AAC files. So, is 1.02 having problems with bookmarked files?
Anyone else having this problem?

Is your "shuffle"/"play-in-order" switch set to "play-in-order"?

Appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 year? May 2014

appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 yera? May 2014 - None of the podcasts are being updated on appletv. Running itunes 11.2 and it shows podcasts there. Apple looks more like windows every day.

Before blaming Apple, was any troubleshooting actually attempted? If so, what was done?
Or was it simply easier to jump to conclusions?

I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click enter after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.?

I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click "continue" after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "Your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.? Also, i would ike to tell that my bank is, Union Bank Of India and it facilitates the auto conversion, rupee to dollar.. I think there is a different problem. Please help me guys.!!

The card must be issued in the same country as the store you are trying to use. If you're trying to sign up for the US Apple Store, it must be a US card with a US billing address. If you're trying to sign up in India, it must be an Indian card with an Indian billing address.
Apple will run a small charge, which will be credited back, to make sure the card is valid. If it is a debit card and you do not have enough in the account to cover the authorization, it will be declined.
It is possible the currency conversion you mentioned may be causing a problem. Contact the issuing bank if you are sure you have enough in the account and you are signing up for the correct store.
