First podcast rejected, Help as to why?

I just submitted my first podcast, it got rejected. I'm new to this whole process I was wondering if anyone could help out with why it was rejected? Here is my feed: http://acoupleofdickspodcast.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

Apple will reject any show with profanity in the title / description for the show or episodes.
Your show has 15 instances of the word - d#ck
You need to get rid of that word from your feed completely.
which means renaming your show and your shows URL.
And you might also want to look at not using the podomatic RSS feed - if you ever decide to leave them - they do not provide the tools needed to change your feed and you wil loose your audience.

First podcast--need help

Hi,
I just did my first vodcast--everything's fine, except...
when you click on the website link, it brings up the direct link to my xml file (which is in a folder on my server)
I just recoded the rss feed, but wanted to make sure it's ok before I upload it.
Should the <link> tag at the beginning of the file (right under title and description (NOT as part of the <item> description) have a link to my homepage? I originally put in a direct link to the xml file over there.
BTW, under the <item> tags, where I have description, I put a direct link to the xml file (rss feed), then the <enclosure> is the direct link to the actual encoded video.
WOuld appreciate it if anyone could let me know if this is correct.
Thanks.

Gee, thanks so much, Brian. Here's a link:
http://www.chilltownonline.com/rss/bravenewworld2.xml
If you see anything else that looks weird, please let me know. I didn't copy the xml code into an index page--just left it in the folder I created for rss. If I have include the xml code in the index page for my site, will it still call up the correct file(s) if the exclosures are direct links?
I didn't put in any GUID--what would the hand coding be to include the GUID tag with perma link=true? Also, I wasn't sure how to set my GUID id number. Where do I get that, or do I make it up? If I make it up, is there anything I should know re: setting up a correct line of 16 characters?
Thanks again.

Podcast rejected from IMS - Any help on why?

http://idisk.me.com/keith_bowden/Public/AuralPleasures.xml
http://www.auralpleasuresmusic.com/
I submitted that and I just received an email saying it was rejected. Can anyone help as to why? I made some tag changes in Feeder and tried to resubmit but I get an error saying that feed has already been submitted.
Is there a length of time before a feed can be resubmitted?
Thanks,
Keith

Interesting but I do not think that is the reason (as there are literally hundreds of similar podcasts in the IMS doing the same thing).
It may well not be - I just offered it as a possibility (it's rather irritating of Apple always to attribute removal to technical reasons, even if it's to do with content). There are as you say lots of podcasts doing it, but it is against copyright law, and it's probably just a question of their not getting noticed.
Do you know any specifics on this "podcasting license" you spoke of earlier?
It's an American thing rather than UK, so I don't know much about it but if you Google it you should come up with some info.

Please help, podcast rejected

Our podcast was approved and running for 3 weeks, 4 episodes, and we just received an email saying we were rejected. Not sure why this is, our feed validates fine.
Title: Ruby5
Description: All your ruby news in 5
Feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Ruby5
iTunes URL (no longer works): http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=327234205
Podcast Homepage: http://ruby5.envylabs.com
This is a news podcast which doesn't contain any questionable content.
Please help, would like to get this resolved ASAP so we don't lose any listeners.
Thanks!

I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions. I wondered whether the fact that the latest episode is in effect an advertisement for a paid-for service might be an issue, but apparently this is permmitted - see
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/creatorfaq.html
which also lists likely reasons for rejection, none of which would seem to apply here. There appears to be no technical problem. You could try contacting them:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/podcast/
though they don't seem to have a good record for detailed helpfulness.

Can someone examine my feeds and help me determine why my podcast logo isn't showing up in iTunes?

Just yesterday, I was getting the iTunes cannot connect message... it's happened prior to the iPhone..it just happens from time to time... I guess sometimes it just has some kind of connection error with the server. Nothing to be concerned about..that's on their side..not yours!

My first podcast, help!

I made my first podcast on Garage Band but I'm not sure it got sent out right. It sent it to iWEB but when it opened in iweb there was a bunch of text in some other language except for my title. Idk where to go from here, if anyone could help me I'd really, really appreciate it.

there really is no way to remove particular sounds like coughs or baby noises from a mixed recording B-(>

ITunes Store Podcast Rejected Notification

Hi guys..
I received a 'iTunes Store Podcast Rejected Notification' email on the 1st of this month & ever since then i've been trying to get to the bottom of it.
My podcast had successfully been on itunes for almost 4 years without a hitch & out of the blue it was removed by itunes for no apparent reason.
I've been emailing them back & forth & around 25 emails later they still haven't given me any specific answers (just links to various sites) & all they do is avoid the questions i ask & talk like robots. Now they have rudely ignored the last 10 emails i've sent.
I can't understand why it has been removed as it has been on there for almost 4 years without a problem. My new episode was on there for a couple months & actually reached number 3 in the charts.
I would also like to know if i do fix eventually fix this problem & manage to re-submit successfully, will i still have all my subscribers?
So to the technical side.
- I've tried re-submitting the feed maybe 10 times to no avail. Not even an email to acknowledge it.
- I've used a 'feed validator' & it says the feed is fine
- I've successfully managed to subscribe to the podcast via 'advanced', 'subscribe to podcast' through itunes & all the episodes appear fine
I don't manually touch the feed itself. I post on to 'Podomatic' & i assume they deal with how the feed works.
Podcast URL: http://djmaxcords.podOmatic.com
Podcast Feed: http://djmaxcords.podOmatic.com/rss2.xml
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Max

Your podcast appears to consist of mixes of Michael Jackson and perhaps other records (I haven't examined the episodes in any detail), presumably mostly commercially issued tracks.
If you have not obtained either permission in writing from the copyright owners, or a podcasting licence from a recognized authority, then you are in breach of copyright and that would be sufficient reason for your podcast to be removed (they may only just have woken up to it). I have to say that when they reject a podcast for reasons of content they really ought to give an indication that this is why.
If you have in fact cleared the material for use in your podcast then you would have to make this clear to Apple.
If you are able to resubmit and get approval, and are able to retain the same feed URL, then your subscribers shouldn't be affected.

First podcast in iTunes store

Hi, I submitted my first podcast to the iTunes Music Store yesterday. I have the podcast on my .Mac homepage and submitted it through iWeb. I had two podcasts on the website, but only wanted to submit one episode, since they were on different topics, and were different files.
When I saw the podcast in the store, both of the podcast episodes were there. I went back and deleted the one that I didn't want published from the homepage. Now it seems to be working properly, but I'd like to know how to select which files actually get submitted, since I'd like to keep some podcasts just as examples on my homepage, while there are other episodes which I want to have available on iTunes.
One more question - yesterday, the iTunes listing had a link to my homepage, and today it does not. What's the reason for that? Does it have anything to do with me deleting one of the files?
Thanks for any help. As you can tell from my questions, I'm new to this.

It normally takes 12 to 36 hours for your new episode to show up on your iTunes store page. But as you already mentioned - it will be available to anyone that is already subscribed as soon as it is released.
So at this point there is nothing you can do and nothing that is wrong - you just need to wait 12 to 36 hours for it to show up on your iTunes store page.

My first podcast, now what?

I just recorded my first podcast! Now what?
How do I get it on iTunes? (I have an itunes connect account for ibooks...)
What file format does it have to be in? I'm recording into GarageBand on my macbook.
Thanks guys, this is my first one, really excited!

Hi Roger,
I am new to this and am in desperate need of some help.
I have created an audio file (it's an mp3) and its been loaded onto The Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/BBTheIsland001
The audio file for the podcast is: https://ia601701.us.archive.org/4/items/BBTheIsland001/B%26B%20The%20Island%2000 1.mp3
I then used Feedburner to set up an RSS on my Google Blogger page.
My blog is: www.bergsandbaldy.com
My feed burner feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bergsandbaldy
When I attempt to test the feed in iTunes by simpling "subscribing to a podcast", iTunes see's the name but does not pull the audio or the image down....
I've literally tried and tried again over several hours but am very stuck.
Any words of wisdom and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Roger.

First podcast uploaded with the wrong logo, can I change it without removing the whole podcast?

Hi Folks,
We just uploaded our first podcast but unfortunately, the wrong logo has been uploaded. I was hoping we could change the logo without having to remove the entire podcast? Any help would be sincerely appreciated,
Thanks in advance!
Ollie

Are you talking about the image which appears in the Store page? Just choose a new image and make sure it has a different filename, get it into the feed in the same way as you originally placed an image, and re-upload the feed.
It will take the Store some days to recognize the change.

HT1414 Things that i downloading the first time it not working now why is that

Things that i downloading the first time it not working now why is that

Hi there,
I would restart your device and pc, it could also be a faulty USB connector.
Try reinstalling iTunes.
You could also try running iTunes as an administrator (Windows), you can do this by right clicking on the icon and clicking "Run as administrator".
If this still continues, then take your device to an Apple retail store.
Hope this helps!

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

First podcast woes!

We finally have out first podcast sorted out and I have got it into
iTunes, but have a few questions - I'd be grateful if anyone can
answer some, one or all of them!
1. The image link in the XML is set to a valid jpg, but doesn't seem
to have been propogated into iTunes yet, does this normall take a while?
2. I have subscibed to the podcast (well, someone has to listen to
it!) and get the feed automatically. However, if I search for it
(keyword = boardgames) then I can see it but only the "test" podcast
is showing up, not the most recent one. I did a quick test looking for
some others an the are all up to date - again is this propogation?
3. Again, maybe a propogation issue, but if I search in iTunes, I find
it using the old name, we changed the name on the feed, but this
doesn't seem to have rippled through yet - although when I down load
it it comes through with the new name. Any ideas?

Hopefully these will help:
1) iTunes takes a while to link images because it actually copies it to their servers. This can take 1-2 weeks.
2) Same thing. Even though the podcast has been added to the music store, it has not yet been added to the search and browse features. Wait for a few days and see if it appears.
3) Like before, just wait for a few days to see if it updatres.
Some of these problems can be fixed quickly by pinging the server. Visit the TECHNICAL SPECS on the apple website for details.
Hope this helps,
STEVE

Need to convert music videos that are tagged as "Movies" and re-rag them as "Music Videos" to get them out of my movies library and into the Music Video folder. Likewise, I ha e some educational videos that belong in "Podcasts." Help?

Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.
