Help!! "This does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL" -- but it is!

I'm having trouble subscribing to the Vatican Radio podcast (English version). I recently moved to a new computer and resubscribed to all my podcasts. This is the only one that won't work for me.
I've contacted the Radio Vatican webmaster and he's confirmed I'm using the right URL - www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml
But when I subscribe to it through either the iTunes Music Store or the iTunes "Advanced" menu I get the reply - "http:www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL. Please check that you have entered the correct URL and try again."
I'm able to download individual programs through the Music Store, but it won't take a subscription for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas? I've never faced this before.
FYi I'm using the latest version of iTunes on a MacBook with version 10.4.7.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Plug that URL into a feed checker site, and you get a "mass" of errors. Pass that along to them, they need to fix these errors.

What is causing this? The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 4". This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley. Help!!!

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”. Is this how an apple works? It doesn't? Why all of a sudden is it doing this? Please help. Thank you.

Did you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

HT2480 My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature. My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone.

My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature. My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone. The standard signature still says "sent from my iphone" which is fine but I need desperately to change the exchange signature as the office address is incorrect.

I have already tried that and this doesn't work. The signature is pulling incorrectly from exchange but I don't know how.

Itunes Library does not appear to be a valid music library

Ever since downloaded Itunes 5, deleted started again back with 4.9 I have had nothing but problems. All my tunes are stored on an external hard drive.
I have just reloaded all my music and tidied it all up nicely and then when it went to update the ipod this is the message I got :
The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid music library file.
iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file iTunes 4musiclibrary(damaged)1.itl
PLEASE HELP as this is really cracking me up now.

This is really old, not sure how much still applies:

Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive

While trying to download Oracle 8i/9i i keep getting the message
'Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive'
Can someone please help me with this
i have tried to download this 10 times already but of no use
Thanks
Rimpy

I was getting a similar, if not the same, problem when I used IE 5.5 to download the file. It used to start extracting then stop about 75% of the way through and dump some error about the archive being corrupt and not being able to open it. After installing Netscape and disabling the download manager application, I was able to download and extrac the zip files with winzip 8 and also winrar without any problems.

Itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

i'm importing AIFF files into itunes, converting those to AAC and deleting the original AIFF files. i tried to import an album of AIFF's and received a message that i didn't have enough hard drive space to import so itunes would import as many of the files as it could. i knew i'd get to this point and would have to transfer some files onto my hard drive. however, when i clicked okay, the computer froze. i restarted manually and received the following message after attempting to open itunes "the file 'itunes library 2009-12-06' does not appear to be a valid itunes library file. itunes has created a new itunes library and renamed this file to 'itunes library (damaged)'." i'm not sure why this happened and i can't find 'itunes library (damaged)' anywhere. i have all my music still i just can't get itunes back to the way it was. please help! thanks so much.

I'll try and make this as concise as possible. Was following another thread that was "archived" without a solution. I randomly will get the error message 1450 "itunes library does not appear to be a valid itunes library - renamed library damaged." I've done everything and I'm at level 2 with phone support. The fixes we've tried seem to solve the problem momentarily but a few weeks will go by and the problem happens again. I loose all my podcasts and have to reload all music. My daughters have a different user account on the same computer and it happens to them as well. We have tried only loading itunes music files and that doesn't fix the problem either. We've reinstalled many times. I have an internal additional hard drive where I store the music but I've tried installing and saving everything on my original drive and the problem happens that way as well. I've read many threads and those of us with this problem aren't finding any answers. Please Apple or someone help with this. I'm ready to change phones and music players.

"" does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.

I am getting this error whenever I copy an email address from somewhere and paste it into the 'To' field.
“” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.
Whattup with that?
Only way to get around it seems to be either typing the whole address in (uh!) or clicking on the email address and letting Mail create the new message. Both are not the way I need to do things and it used to work perfectly in Snow Leopard, as would be expected for such a basic sort of command.

I had the same problem with multiple adressess:
I used the " ; " as a seperator.
The message was sent with no trouble at all as soon as I used the " , " (comma) instead.
Hope this helps

My Music Library is stored on an Optibay drive.. when i leave iTunes idle for a while, Optibay drive sleeps, corrupting the iTunes Library when it closes, i think.

The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play.

The progress indicator in version 11.0.1.2 does not appear when a song or podcast starts. It may or may not appear during play. How do I make it appear so I can start a podcast in the middle of the program?

No errors in error console. No effect using *. I tried using the dns name of my localhost both in the Firefox URL and in the javascript and I get exactly the same. I have spent a huge amount of time looking into this issue.
One thing I noticed is that if I use the examples on the internet (http://arunranga.com/examples/access-control/preflightInvocation.html or http://saltybeagle.com/cors/) they work in the same browser. These examples however, are accessed through HTTP proxies.
I am wondering if the issue has to do with using the same hostname just with different ports.

ITunes error: "The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file."

Every couple of weeks I get this iTunes error after connecting iPod Nano 6th generation. Then it deletes my whole iPod content. I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise with latest patches, iTunes 10.2.2.14 and McAfee antivirus.
I tried to reinstall QuickTime + iTunes, clean the system and then reinstall. But this does not work. I also tried to create a brand new library. But no success...
Error: "The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to iTunes Library (Damaged) 3.itl."
Any idea?

No I haven't. I tried almost everything possible but without any remarkable shift. I am about to sell my brand new iPod:(

My computer The File "itunes library.til" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to "iTunes Library (Damaged itl)"

My computer crashed when I was using Itunes. I got everything up and running and got this message "The File “itunes library.til” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to “iTunes Library (Damaged itl)” Everything loads up put in takes 10 min. then my music playlists are deleted everytime I turn Itunes on. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi shyanne23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iTunes library file has become damaged in some way, you may want to try recreating your iTunes library and playlists by following this article:

Xml/itl-"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid..

"The file "iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged).itl"
does enyone know how to fix this for ever?
thanks.

Katrina, created test, copied ITL (I Tunes Library file?) across, did the shift thing, I Tunes opens with my songs, created a play list, closed I tunes, re-opened it, play list still there. Is that what you mean?
I think I have some other issues as well.
I Tunes says 2477 songs/485 artists, my I Pod has 300 more.
Windows explorer suggests 589 artists (I keep library organised) I've lost the connection to the "movie" folder.
Also despite songs appearing in the library, they won't play in I Tunes at all. Fine on Ipod (although not docked since this started), fine with other media. players in same location.
Is this a nightmare where I have to delete everything & start again?

Try to open itunes it says "itunes does not appear to be a valid music file

i've uninstalled itunes before and reinstalled it off of the internet and i try to open it and it says "the file "itunes library.itl" does not appear to be a valid music library file. itunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to itunes library (damaged)

Back up your music and then uninstall it; while the uninstallation process doesn't affect the library, other things can.

ITuneslibrary.itl does not appear to be a valid itunes library file

My computer had problems and I had to reinstall all my programs. I just had to reinstall itunes 8.0.1.11. I uninstalled itunes and after reinstalling and importing my songs backed up on a flash drive I now get a message stating:
iTunes file "iTuneslibrary.itl" does not appear to be a valid library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and remamed this file to "iTuneslibrary(Damaged).itl"
What can be done to restore everything so the error message goes away and all my songs are in iTunes?
Thanks

actually I am having the same problems. it happened shortly after I installed itunes 8, however this also coincided with some music uploading. My problem is traced now through three different machines, all with the same mp3 library. However mine may be a little more problematic, because after I get this message, I quit itunes, then when I restart it I get the message about "itunes cannot run because of of its required files are missing. please reinstall itunes" Which I do and a few hours or days later I am faced with the exact same problem. I have tried re-writing my libray.xml file, re-importing library files, erasing all traces of itunes from my computer, installing on a fresh hard drive, and I even scanned all my mp3's using symantec antivirus, nothing appears strange. I am at a loss, and cannot find an answer. Does anyone have an answer?
