Half podcast episodes missing

Only half of my podcast episodes are turning up in iTunes - I think this is because Feedburner isn't picking up on them (http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePilgrimsPodcast). I may be past some maximum information limit. Is there some way to either filter my blog feed to only include posts with podcast audio (like, instead of plugging in the website's URL - plug in the URL for a blogger label)? Or should I figure out another hosting service?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pilgrims-podcast/id942105067?mt=2

Your feed has seven episodes with playable media, and these show in iTunes (episodes 7 to 13). It also has numerous episodes which have no playable media, and these are not shown in iTunes. There are 25 episodes in all.
The feed has been originally constructed in Blogger, and if you were expecting to see older episodes in it, it's likely that Blogger is limiting you to 25 episodes shown in the feed, older ones being moved to an archive page and out of the feed - something that many services do.
Of course if you are going to mix weblog and podcast episodes in the same feed then this sort of thing is going to happen. Neither Feedburner nor Blogger can detect the difference. It's better to keep the podcast episodes in their own separate feed. However there may be a setting in Blogger to allow you to include more episodes. The iTunes Store doesn't impose a limit until you get to 301.

First podcast episode missing from search

Newbie here...
iTunes is missing my first episode 'Beginning'. When I first submitted the show it showed up fine. If you subscribe to the show you get the first episode but if you just search for the show (The QuoteSpoke Podcast) it is missing the first episode. Any advice is appreciated. My show and RSS info is available below.

Thanks,

Under neath the list of episodes, the Store says '4 items'. I'm afraid you've fallen over a long-standing intermittent bug in the Store which does this sort of thing. It's not a problem with your feed, and there isn't anything you can do about it. It will probably sort itself out in a few days.

Re-downloading podcast episodes to fix missing files?

I had a number of podcast episodes stored on an external drive that died. Now these episodes show up in iTunes with a gray exclamation point next to them, because iTunes can't find the corresponding files. I'd like to fix this problem by having iTunes re-download the missing episodes (since most are still available from the podcast server), but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any advice?
(Note that iTunes still "remembers" some metadata about the episodes, such as whether I've watched/listened to the episode or not, ratings, etc. I would like to retain this information. That's why I haven't just deleted the podcast and re-subscribed.)
Thanks!

I just found a solution to this issue today. Try the following:
Delete the problematic file(s) in iTunes.
Close the podcast directory by clicking on the enclosing triangle.
Reopen the podcast using the Option key and clicking on triangle.
Missing podcasts will now appear with the "Get" flag.
Hope that works for you.
best regards

ITunes 8 - podcast count includes missing podcast episodes

In iTunes 8 (under podcasts tab) most of my podcasts seem to have disappeared, but they are still included in the episode count for each show. For example, iTunes says I have 20 episodes of MacBreak Weekly, and 3 not-listened to, but only one episode displays when I click the icon to open MacBreak Weekly. The counts are probably about correct for the number of podcasts I previously had, but where are all the missing podcast episodes, and why are they counted if they are not there? I couldn't find anyone else posting this problem.
Any ideas?

I am also having the same issue. The count shows what I expect it to show, but the list is missing podcasts. If I dig into the file system, the Podcasts are there, but no matter what, I can not get them to show in Itunes8

My older podcast episodes are missing on iTunes.

Just noticed last week that my nine oldest podcast episodes are no longer on itunes. They're alive and well on my blog page so I'm nor sure what happened. Did I reach some magical quota on iTunes? I have no clue how to resubmit or do any of that stuff. Thanks for any help!

iTunes imposes no limit (at least up to 300). Many podcast creation programs or services limit the number of episodes in the feed, removing older ones when this limit is reached. There is usually a setting to increase this number.
However there might be other reasons; but it's not really possible to comment unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'. Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

My recent podcast episodes are not getting updated on my iTunes page.

My podcast which hosts on Podomatic (http://mandate.podomatic.com/) has not been updating on iTunes for my last few episodes. Usually it takes a few hours or even a day, but its been weeks since iTunes updated my last episodes. I'm not too sure what the problem or issue is. My iTunes page is (https://itunes.apple.com/en/podcast/mandate-connates-podcast/id657296232?mt=2)
Currently there are at least 3 episodes missing that are up on Podomatic but not showing on iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Hi mandateconnate,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you tried to publish a podcast but it is taking a while to show up.

Note: The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand, it may take a week or two before your podcast is added.

ITunes 7 attempting to sync all Podcast episodes regardless of selection

I don't know if it's just me, but iTunes 7 seems to be ignoring which podcast episodes I have selected to sync and which I haven't, instead attempting to sync them all then erroring. I can get it to work if I only sync new episodes, but I like to keep favorites of previous 'casts as well. Is this an annoying functionality change, a bug, or did I just miss a change in how to achieve my previous configuration?
*Also wanted to add that this now removes partially played podcasts since they're no longer "unplayed", and the "10 most recent/unplayed" options means I can't load whole podcast books anymore.

I've got a separate thread running on this, which Derek also replied on (thanks for posting in both, Derek):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637811&tstart=0
The solution Mark found is not working for me. After disabling "manually manage" to enable "sync checked", and then re-enabling "manually manage", it at first appears like "sync checked" will stay enabled. But after hitting the Apply button, "sync checked" turns off again.

ITunes cutting off length of podcast episodes

Help! I am having an issue where two of my iTunes podcast episodes are being cut off and ending prematurely - about half way through. I've spent half the day trying to trouble shoot this without any luck.
I am editing the files correctly in Garageband, uploading them correctly, etc. They appear fine on my website and when I download them.
The two episodes in questions are here: http://www.openworldmag.com/22-created-muse-business-backpacking-europe-fred-per rotta-tortuga-backpacks/ (length - 55:58)
And here: http://www.openworldmag.com/21-digital-nomad-ben-finnigan/ (length - 1:04:41)
On my site, they are fine, but when you go to my iTunes page (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-openworld-podcast/id896941830) and try to view them in iTunes the length of episode 21 is only 24 mins and episode 22 is 37 mins.
I am hosting the podcasts on my WordPress website and using the Blubrry plugin. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong? I have tried a bunch of things, I've reuploaded new files, changed meta information, and nothing is working.
Thank you for your help!

Well finaly broke down and gave rebuilding from the XML file a try. That's solving a problem with a sledghamer.
So yes my songs now end up in the right length, but:
It duplicated a huge part of my exsisting library, and maybe moved parts of it or maybe deleted files*. No idea which. Original itunes library was 620+ gigs and now I have two itunes librarys each 430+- gigs. Look forward to figuring that out!
It turned a massive number of my Podcasts into songs. So that will be fun to disentangle.
iPod and iPhone preferences don't copy, so I have to rebuild all my phone sync settings.
So basically, a really crappy fix unless you have a small library and don't use podcasts.
Better solution needed Apple!!!!!
*I was one of the lucky bastards who had iTunes delete hundreds of gigs of podcasts on r11. So I have no faith in it not doing it again.

ITunes isn't picking up my latest podcast episode, though it's showing up in the RSS feed.

I had to delete the latest blog post on my site with my most recent podcast episode because something was wrong with the audio file. I deleted the entire blog post and the episode disappeared from iTunes--all good so far.
When I re-posted everything (blog post title was slightly different, but the filename for the linked .mp3 file was the same), it never showed up in iTunes (24 hours later at the moment), although it's showing up in the RSS feed.
Any ideas why the new episode isn't showing up in iTunes?
This is me (us): http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/love-this-movie-hate-this-film/id393761573
The latest episode should be "730 Days Later: Anniversary Special" from this blog post: http://lovethismoviehatethisfilm.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/730-days-later-anniver sary-special/
Thanks!

The latest episode does not have have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3 or other media file, so iTunes will not show the episode.
There is an mp3 file linked to in the web page, and in the 'content:encoded' tag, which iTunes does not read, but though the other episodes are OK you have evidently missed out a step in WordPress.I can't advise on that, but whatever you did before to get the file into the feed is what you need to do here.

Err = 39 when attempting to download a podcast episode

I get err = 39 when attempting to load a podcast episode. I have previously succesfully downloaded other episodes of this podcast. It seems that the episode is partially downloaded but I cannot resume satisfactorily. Is there a temp file or something I can delete to restart the download from scratch.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes there is.
Go to the iTunes download folder; on Windows XP it is My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads/ so in Windows 7 I guess it will be a folder named Downloads in the same folder as the artists.
Anyway, once you find the folder, in it there should be another folder for that Podcast. The part downloaded file will be in that folder. The solution is to delete that Podcast folder - but not the Download folder. Once you have deleted the Downloads/<Podcast name> folder, you should then be able to download the missing episode.
Let us know how you get on.

Reload a podcast-episode

Hi!
Does anyone know if it is possible to reload a podcast episode?
There was a technical problem with one podcast i listen to, so one episode file was just 1,5 MB instead of about 130 MB. I deleted this Episode within itunes and thought the missing episode would reload automatically... but nuts... nothig happened. A new episode( episode 53) started to load but not the former one (episode 52). It looks like it never existed.
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Rick

Just delete it from the feed and reupload it. iTunes will pick up the change, though it may take a day or two. No need to resubmit; you could ping the Store though I'm not sure it will actually make any difference: the method is described here:

New Podcast Episode

When I open New Podcast Episode its evaporated! No trouble opening New Music Project, New Movie Score or Open Existing Project for my music ventures. I have checked the Template Folder and it holds New Movie Score only....no New Podcast Episode. Have also reinstalled iLife'06 and it's still missing. Seems strange in that everything else in in tact.
Can anyone help me out here? I've never been able to start a Podcast Project.

I've had a similar problem, and indeed only a radical System re-install helped. Before you take such a radical measure, you should check some things:
- Does the problem exist in other Apple programs? Like TextEdit, or iMovie? (Was the case with my computer.)
- If not, the problem seems to be GB specific, and you don't probably need to re-install the whole System. The steps to take are
1. Delete GB's two prefs files (com.apple.garageband.*).
2. Repair permissions.
3. Log in as a new user and see if the problem persists.
4. If all fails, delete all GarageBand files and re-install only GarageBand.

HELP!!! TROUBLE GETTING VIDEO PODCASTS EPISODE

Yes i am haveing trouble getting a video podcasts episode, it is with the globe podcast and popwar episode.
i click "get", and it starts to download and about half way through, up comes and error reporting message.
The message has two options "send error report", and "dont send" ive tried both but niether will let itunes continue with download, so idk what to do.
thanks
-billy

Well... only those type of error occur when iTunes has failed or crashed. What version of iTunes are you running? I have had no problems with Videos, Music, or Video Podcasts... but your problem could lie within these factors:
1. iTunes is out of date?
2. Internet Connection disconnected?
3. Too many programs running? (Not enough system resources - RAM)
4. There was another one but I lost it... :-P

How to un-play podcast episode

I clicked something as I was mousing around with iTunes. One of my podcast episodes started to play. I never intentionally listen to media on my PC, so I stopped the play somehow (I forgot what I did to stop it). However, the podcast episode is now designated as "playing". I would like to un-designate the episode as "playing". How can this be done in iTunes?

I simply want the podcast to not have the speaker symbol beside it (see iTunes help on "symbols"), which means that it is playing (albeit paused). I also want the scrubber bar for the episode to go away from the top of the iTunes window.
Having started the episode playing it will register as part-played (half dot) as opposed to unplayed (full dot) unless you right/option click it and Mark as Unplayed.
To make the speaker icon and scrubber bar go away, having stopped playback, simply select an alternative source or playlist, then go back to the Podcast source.

Thanks tt2. There is no "Mark as Unplayed". I suspect that it is because the episode did not play to completion. However, selecting another playlist did make the speaker icon go away. Strangely, a full blue dot is shown rather than a half dot.

How do I delete a podcast episode in itunes 11?

I typically download podcast episodes in iTunes and then sync them with my phone. I listen to the podcasts on my iPhone and then delete them when done. I have been doing this for years. Now, I cannot figure out how to delete the individual episodes from my podcasts in iTunes 11. What am I missing?

You and me both!
I started out with an Apple+ way back when. We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes. My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard. (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
Sigh.
I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY! I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS. BUMMER!
Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts. UCK!
