Have difficulty downloading epi

Like others have asked before I too am having a issue uploading to iTunes.
I tested my feed in iTunes and it works but when I submit to apple I get the
We had difficulty downlading episodes from your feed.

Any help?

It would be better to start your own thread than tacking onto someone else's.
The media file URL for your episode is:
http://www.atnzine.si/pasjeuho/pasje_uho01.mp3
There is no file at this address.
Your podcast image is theoretically within specification at 2048 X 2048px but there is anecdotal evidence that the Store may choke on an image this size. I would recommend reducing it to 1400 x 1400px - there is no point in having it any larger, it won't be shown at anything like that size.
You do not have any 'itunes:subtitle' or 'itunes:summary' tags. The Store will read your 'description' tags as a fallback, but it would be better to do it properly. The description which appears on the Store page is carried in the 'itunes:summary' tag.

Issue: itunes we have difficulty downloading from your feed.

Hello,
I am new to podcasting but not so new to web development. I have a feed here: http://www.destinydesignsinc.com/podcasts/podcast1.xml
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong? I have enclosure tags. Thank you.

The URL of your media file is
http://www.destinydesignsinc.com/podcasts/episode1business_getstarted-complete.m p3
There is no file at this address.
Incidentally on your web page, the 'Blog' link is dead.

Difficulty downloading podcasts

I'm have difficulty downloading poscasts. I subscribe, and I'm supposed to get the latest episode. The little wheel spins; the download bar advances; eventually it says DONE...but no podcast appears in iTunes, and no file in the podcst folder on the computer. If I click on GET in either the iTunes store or the podcast list (which appears greyed on my iTunes), same thing happens--a whole lot of spinning and what appears to be action--but no end results. I have the latest version of iTunes, Vista, and a 3G nano.
These are video podcasts. I just subscribed to an audio podcast; no problem--but I have other video podcasts that update and download without issue.

I'm having the same problem with audio podcasts!

Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

I am having difficulty downloading tunes from iCloud to my PC. I am getting an error message 5000 'not enough access privileges' I have checked and seem to have full access. Help appreciated!

I am having difficulty downloading purchased tunes in iCloud to my PC. I get error code 5000 and a message "not enough access priviledges" I have checked this out and seem to have full rights. I could download tunes before they put them on iCloud. Any help appreciated.

This refers to permissions on your computer which must have been changed. Start by using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then do the following:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

In determining whether you have enough, did you include the sales tax on the app?

Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
What devices are they using?
What program or apps with versions are they using?
I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

ITunes Says Having Difficulty Downloading Episodes From Your Feed

I'm trying to submit my podcast feed to iTunes, I am able to subscribe to my feed by going to File > Subscribe to Podcast > and pasting http://www.servextra.com/category/scrshow/feed/ in the field. iTunes then recognizes all of the episodes in my feed and I'm able to play them all with no problem.
When I try to submit this same exact feed to the iTunes Podcast Directory, I get the error message iTunes Says Having Difficulty Downloading Episodes From Your Feed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong to cause this?

I don't know why you are having this problem. The URL of your top episode's media file is
http://traffic.libsyn.com/toddliles/12_012_-_Easy_Budgeting_in_30_Minutes_-_10.1 7.2013.mp3
This redirects to
http://ec.libsyn.com/p/3/0/f/30f658d1205053c7/12_012_-_Easy_Budgeting_in_30_Minu tes_-_10.17.2013.mp3?d13a76d516d9dec20c3d276ce028ed5089ab1ce3dae902ea1d01c08530d 6cb5ec030&c_id=6289362
The Store can by flaky about redirects, and this one has the '?' which indicates a script of some sort is in use. However, Libsyn normally know what they are doing so I wouldn't have expected them to provide a URL which didn't work. Your best bet would be to approach their Support; or Robert Walch, who works for them, posts here sometimes and may see your question.
It is just possible that the Store is having one of its hissy fits and it may be an error at their end, but certainly Libsyn should be able to advise.

RSS feed in iTunes says it has difficulty downloading episodes

Hi,
When I submit my podcast RSS feed info into iTunes I am told that "we are having diffuculty downloading the episodes from your feed". I have seen this anwered for other poeple with the same issue, but I am using SquareSpace to host my podcasts and I didn't find the previous answers useful in solving my problem. So the RSS feed that I am using to submit my podcast to iTunes is:
http://thesaturatedlife.com/podcast?format=rss
I have gone through all of the steps in both iTunes and SquareSpace, but I still receive the "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".
I can manually subscribe to the podcast through the advanced settings in iTunes (which was also done by tech support at squarespace as well to make sure there was nothing wrong with the url).
I used the feed validator through feedvalidator.org and the rss feed was shown to be a good and active feed.
Does anyone know what I can do? SquareSpace techs can't seem to find out what the issue is. They say everything is in working order on their end. And the iTunes tech guy I was emailing with dirrected me to this forum for help. So I hope somebody knows what I can do to correct this.
Thanks,

There is a whole lot of extraneous material in the feed: I'm not familiar with SquareSpace so I don't know the procedure, but I assume you've started as a weblog page with a lot of text and images and the feed has been taken from that. It's probably harmless as iTunes should simply ignore it, though it does make the feed very difficult to read.
The matter of the media file is more difficult. I'm afraid the simple answer is something you don't want to hear - give up on SquareSpace and go somewhere else. If you host your files on a normal webspace server - with only the caveat that it must support 'byte-range requests' which is mandatory, so you need to ask about this before committing yourself - you shouldn't have any trouble. Some of these weblog creation services can cause problems, though I don't know of any specific issue with SquareSpace.

Im having difficulty downloading Adobe Premier Elements 13 to my PC

I am having difficulty installing my Adobe Premier Elements 13 to my Dell PC. I got though everything I thought but then it said it needed to extract files and put them to one of my files to complete the download. It acted ok, but then gave me the answer of, "Installer has detected that a machine restart may be pending....Its recommended that you quit thje installer and restart the machine and install again." I restarted the machine twice with no luck.

geowife
From where are you downloading Premiere Elements 13? And, are you downloading purchased files from Adobe direct or the Premiere Elements 13 tryout from Adobe direct?
What computer operating system is involved?
If you continue to have problems downloading and installing the program, try the download and install (with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled) from the following
web site and then insert your purchased serial number in it if you are dealing with purchased product.
Remember to read the Note: Very Important Instructions at that web site so that you do not get Access Denied message.
Also, after you go through the Very Important Instructions part and are eligible to click on the wanted file...
a. select the 2 files for your program and computer operating system
b. process File 1 (the .exe file) first - Adobe Application Manager before File 2 (the .7z file) - the program.
More details depending on the details specific to your situation.
Thanks.

ITunes Submit Podcast - difficulty downloading episodes from feed

Was instructed to start a need thread after reading several of the others. This is the error I am receiving when submitting my podcast feed, "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed." I tried a couple of the solutions offered but I am still receiving the error. My podcast feed is generated by feedburner and you can use the itpc version of the URL and it subscribes instantly and has no problem downloading the latest episodes. But as far as making it available in the iTunes store I continue to receive the above error when I submit the feed.
Here is the feed address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ak_house_majority?format=xml
Any help would be appreciated. And you know what, if itunes would just give ANY clue as to WHY it is having difficulties with one's feed when submitted, that also would be appreciated, instead of just leaving everyone in the dark to go figure out whatever the heck with no idea of what is causing the problem. But I digress. I figure I am close, but something simple I am missing must be causing the problem.

Your feed has a lot of episodes with .mp3 files, but it also has a large number of episodes without. In fact reading from the top of the feed it looks like around fifty, though I've not counted them. Furthermore your episode aren't in any logical order.
On subscribing the episodes with mp3 files show in descending date order. However the indications are that on submission the Store checks only the top episode, and if it can't find a playable media file it rejects the feed.
In any case it's not a good idea to mix episodes with and without playable media in this way, though the main problem where the creation process is limiting the number of episodes doesn't seem to apply here. iTunes will not display any episode which don't have playable media.
At the least you need to rearrange the feed so that you latest episode appears at the top.

"We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."

I get an error when I attempt to submit a podcast to the iTunes podcast directory. The error is "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed." I think I have everything on my rss feed correct, but I may not. Can anyone check out my feed and let me know what may be wrong?
My feed address is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheCultureOfMyPeople
Thanks in advance!

Hi pwnagin,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are knowledgeable when it comes to podcasts but are running into this alert when trying to submit to iTunes. Take a look at the following article; it has some great info in it about creating feeds and metadata, testing feeds, and submitting the feed. You may have gone through all of this already. If so, please let me know if you are still having trouble.

Submit error: we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed

I have created a new feed for Lifestream.org at https://www.lifestream.org/podcast.xml and it works subscribing in iTunes, but fails upon submission to Apple with "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
The site is on Drupal 7, with Views iTunes RSS provding the feed.
Please advise.

I can't see any reason why this should be. The feed validates OK (there are a few minor niggles but nothing which would cause this problem) and the episode file I checked played perfectly well. None of the usual culprits (wrong sort of media type, https in the media file URL, 'itunes:block' tag set to yes) is the case here.
We've seen cases where files which worked everywhere else wouldn't work in the iTunes Store; I've not seen any explanation for this - my guess (and I emphasize that it is a guess) is that some servers don't handle requests from the iTunes Store properly, but I don't know enough about server technology to say whether this is possible or what would cause it. You could try asking your server provider whether they have any information on this.
You could try hosting a few episode media files on another server and see whether that deals with it. Or it might even be a temporary glitch at Apple's end - you could leave it a day or two and try again.
Other than that I'm afraid I can't suggest anything.

I keep getting a "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" error.

I've been trying to post a podcast, but I keep getting a "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" Error message. The RSS feed I created is http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/mjBrW. Any help would be appreciated.

Your feed is now OK and can be subscribed to in iTunes, so that's a start. However your media file itself is not accessible. The URL for it in the feed is
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/InTheFace/~5/B6E3DAcZCXU/InTheFaceEpisode1BadGran dpa.mp3
This redirects to

And this brings up
<Error>

Basically the file is requiring authorization to access, so you have to turn that off.
As to https, the iTunes Store cannot access media files with this prefix, and many podcast creation services will not create the enclosure tag if it's in use.

The infamous "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" error

Hi all,
I'm trying to submit a podcast to iTS, but it's failing with the infamous "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" error.
The feed validates (here and here); all the tags that are suppossed to be there are there; the enclosures are there and readable; the server accepts byte-range requests.
Could someone smarter than I have a glance over and see if they can spot anything?
A sample feed can be seen here.
Many thanks.

I would ask one simple question - Why are you not just releasing your episodes as .mp3 format?
The recommended encoding for audio podcasts is:
.MP3 - format
64 kbpb - Bit Rate
44.1 khz - sample rate
mono or joint stereo
This gives good audio quality at the size of 0.5 mb per minute. It is used by most of the big shows in iTunes and it compatible with all players and aggregators.
Trying to trick the system to use a non-standard format is likely going to cause you issues - it is best to go with the settings above if you want the least amount of issues for you and your potenital listeners.
