How do I move my feed URL?

According to the Tech Specs page on the Apple site for Podcasting, it's possible to move your feed to another host without having to resubmit the new feed to iTunes. This is what it says...
"Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one location to another. In this case, you should not remove your feed. If possible, you should set your web server to return a 301 error and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so will cause both the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes clients that have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL."
This is great! I have just republished my podcast to a different server and now want to tell the world (including iTunes) about it. Apparently, all I have to do is put in the <itunes:new-feed-url>
FYI my old feed is: http://homepage.mac.com/ghreynolds/GuarroCasts/podcast.xml
My new feed is: http://guarro.jellycast.com/pod/podcast.xml
It seems that the Spec sheet that I'm reading from assumes that I'm brighter than what I really am. I don't understand how to do it. It says...
"This tag allows you to change the URL where the podcast feed is located. It is added at the <channel> level. The feed format is: <itunes:new-feed-url>http://newlocation.com/example.rss</itunes:new-feed-url>"
Where is the <channel> level? Where do I enter this information?
Also, do I tag this on the end of my old feed? If so, where do I put it so that iTunes sees it as an update?
I'm very confused and I'm sure it's an easy answer.
Someone help me??

I use Podcast Maker to upload my Podcasts with and I asked them. They knew what I was on about and did it for me quickly and easily.

How long does itunes:new-feed-url take to completely change my podcast page?

I've used the itunes:new-feed-url to change my podcast page, but I'm curious how long it takes. I have a new episode up, but the podcast page located here doesn't show that third episode, even though the new feed as well as 301 redirect is in place.

The Store won't redirect to the new feed at http://www.tripodbroadcasting.com/givethatsomethought/feed/ until the next time it checks the old feed. You posted the latest episode only today: it usually takes 1-2 days for new episode to appear in the Store as it caches feeds and visits them in rotation to check for changes. When this happens it will transfer to the new feed. Subscribers are already redirected to the new feed and see the third episode.

How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5). I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
Good luck

I think you need to post this on Microsoft's support forum. They'll know a lot better than us how IE9 works and what you can do with it.

How do I find my old feed URL? Haven't submitted for awhile.

It's been awhile since I've submitted a new episode and I don't know what my feed URL is. How can I recover that so I can start sending in new episodes?

You created a feed in WordPress and submitted it to Feedburner: the Feedburner version of the feed was submitted to iTunes and is at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/FocusConsultingInc
As long as you can access the Feedburner account you don't need to know the original URL: you can create a new version of the feed and change Feedburner to working from that. Or you may be able to detect the original feed URL in Feedburner (it's not possible to detect it from outside the account).
Your linked website is at http://allaboutfocus.com with a blog page at http://allaboutfocus.com/blog/# - only the top episode shown here appears in the feed, and as it contains no playable media it does not appear in iTunes (iTunes does not display episodes with no playable media).
There is a separate page containing a video of this episode but it's a player in a format which iTunes would not accept.
Incidentally your site has an overlaid 'Share' column of links which obscures some of the page information and doesn't have an obvious closing method.

How to get RSS feed url for site?

Is there a way to get the RSS feed url for a blog using Safari? I'm currently using FF for this since it is very simple. But that's about the only reason I use FF. Would be nice not to need two tools.
I don't want to subscribe to the site in Safari. I have an RSS Reader app that I plug the url into. I just want to see the url.

For some reason they removed that handy feature from Safari. But, there is an Extension called RSS Menu, which will add a button on your toolbar, giving you that function back.

Need to move podcast feed from MobileMe hosting to DreamHost

I apologize if this has been covered, I could not find anything on the forum however to help. I currently host a podcast through MobileMe. I've created the podcast site through GarageBand/iWeb. I want to continue using the iWeb site, but host it on DreamHost (for reasons of disk space, etc). I have purchased a new domain name (talesfromthemousehouse.com) from DreamHost and wish to "migrate" the iWeb site to this new domain. Plus, I want to move the podcast feed along with it, so that all my old episodes etc goes to the new host, and the only thing my listeners will notice is that the site has a new address (www.talesfromthemousehouse.com). Now...I've yet to find anyone or anything that can properly help me, including Apple support. What I thought should be an easy task has turned out to be quite a nightmare. My podcast feed is: http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
Can anyone help? I know that (from the Apple podcast documentation), I need to insert some code <itunes:new-feed> or something, but WHERE? Nothing tells me HOW to access the stuff to edit in iWeb/MobileMe. I would love to get this done as soon as possible, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks! Al

I'm working with fairly minimal information here: as I understand it your original feed was
http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
This feed does not contain the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag. Did you put a tag in it and then remove it?
iTunes shows your podcast in the Store at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tales-from-the-mouse-house/id371928528
However it's looking for a feed at http://talescast.com/ so presumably this is the URL you entered in the redirect tag?
However, it's not a feed - it's the Personal Domain referral to your web page at
http://talescast.com/Site_4/Home.html
As this is a web page and not a feed, iTunes can't read it. You have now painted yourself into a corner: as you need to enter the redirect tag in a feed to get iTunes to redirect, and iTunes can't read a feed at the UTRL you gave it, you can't redirect it.
You now have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

I want to update my podcast feed url

Hello to everybody.
I have submit last day to itunes my podcast url from podomatic.com
I want to ask how I can update my rss url in itunes, if I want to leave podomatic.com and go to another service?
And last.. can you suggest me some other cool service?
My reason whcih I want to leave podomatic.com is because in itunes podcast the "website" link goes to podomatic.com channel and not to my personal webpage
Regards,
Haris

Please see this page which explains in detail how you do this:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
You may very likely find you can't do this with Podomatic which will leave you with emailing supposrt as the only option. Don't remove your podomatic feed until you have the redirection safely up and running.

Alternate ways to update RSS Feed URL in iTunes Store

Hey all,
Ok, so I am having issues with updating my iTunes Store RSS URL. Here's the storyin a nutshell. If any of you have experience with this i would really appreciate some help, because I have been stuck for week now.
I started my podcast using Podbean.com as a host, and when I first submitted my podcast URL to th iTunes Store, I used the RSS URL that podbean gave me which was http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/. A few weeks later, I decided to move my host to SquareSpace, therefore I have a new RSS URL for the podcast now. I understand the directions frovided by Apple on how to change the URL by inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url> tags into the XML file. This is where the problem lies. Podbean.com is not able to instert this tag into my the XML file (its a long story, I have been dealing with thier incompitent customer service for weeks now). Let's assume for now that this method is not optional.
SO my question to you guys is - is there another way to update the RSS URL feed? Currently the iTunes Store see's http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/as my RSS feed, but I want it to see the NEW one which is: http://andrewunfiltered.squarespace.com/podcast?format=rss
Please help!!
Kellen

Ignore the 301 redirect - this is really intended for other rss readers than iTunes.
If you are creating a feed somehow and submitting that to Feedburner, which then passes it on to iTunes, and if you can add the tag to that original feed it will also appear in the Feedburner feed and the redirect will take place.
If you are creating the feed only in Feedburner by entering details, there you cannot directly edit the feed - I don't know whether Feedburner provides a way of doing this: most online podcast creation services don't.
If that's the case then you will have to abaondon the old feed. You should attempt to get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here (though there have been a number of reports that iTunes Store staff are simply not bothering to carry out this process) - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.

How can I redirect my feed on MobileMe to another server?

iTunes is currently pulling my feed from my MobileMe account: http://web.me.com/myusername/podcast.xml. I want to move the feed to another server. I understand that I can create a new feed, publish it, and then edit the old feed with the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag. But that will only update iTunes subscribers.
Is there a way to redirect non-iTunes subscribers? Ordinarily I'd use a 301 redirect, but obviously I don't have that kind of control over the MobileMe server. Am I out of luck?

Yes, you need to add the announcement to the old feed. In fact I would suggest simply making a short 'episode' containing only the announcement, to get people's attention, rather than placing it within a full episode. And then you needn't have the announcement in the new feed, where it would be redundant.

I inadvertently have two Apple Podcast ID's on ONE feed URL

Hi,
My first post here... I assume Apple support reads this...
I updated our old Podcast on the Book of Acts with a new one on the Book of John, but I used the same feed URL namely, http://www.raystedman.org/messages.rss .
The new podcast is working fine EXCEPT when I go the the iTunes Store to find and subscribe to it by typing in Ray Stedman - the subscribe page is the OLD Acts page (which should be gone) and not the new First John page.
What's interesting is that if you click the Acts Podcast subscribe icon you get the FIrst John Podcast (and you get the correct FIrst John intro page when you click on the circled arrow to the left of the name "Expository Studies in the Book of Acts)!
I can't figure out how to change this... Again, I have two Podcast ID's for one feed URL - this isn't right, right??
Does Apple support have to fix this problem?
The two Podcast ID's are: 74271389 and 218826642
Help! Thanks! Bert

How can I export RSS feeds from Mail?

I've tried this command line apporach from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396 but it olny lists some of my RSS feed urls (and the output-to-web-browser version dosn't work at all -perhaps cause I've Snow Leopard 10.6.4?)
Is there any other solution?
Thanks.

I had to manually 'export' (copy and paste) the RSS feeds by:
Opening an RSS feed 'message' in Mail and then selecting View/Message/Raw Source from the Mail menu bar and then finding url details tagged with "X-Mail-Rss-Source-Url:" and then cpoy and paste them to TextEdit. Loads of fun!
_Tip: Don't use Mail for RSS feeds- ever._ Even if you only have a few feeds. When, overtime your feed list inevitably grows, it is a real pain to move those feeds to a dedicated RSS feed reader.
Use an RSS reader from the very start (like http://www.vienna-rss.org/ or http://netnewswireapp.com/ )

How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro?

How do I move iPad apps thru cloud to MacBook Pro? Was told I could by support & sales person. Did I fall for a line? Are they not compatible?

Pages, Numbers and Keynote will all run on iPhone, and iPad... and they will transfer between these two devices after you purchase a license. These apps will run on your MBP but you will have to buy a license for each "iWork" app to run on your MBP.
Any chance you might have misundestood this?
Safari runs on all devices and your URL history will be available on all iPhone, iPad and MBO Safari installations provided you are using the same iCloud/AppleID and M/L.
Does this sound familiar to your conversation with the salesperson?

How do I update my feed?

Exactly how do I "update my feed in the fastest possible manner?" See below
After adding a new episode, update your feed in the fastest possible manner with the ping service by visiting this URL:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=364602319
http://therealtalkradioshow.podbean.com

Add your episode - if you are using Podbean refer to their help - so that it wil appear in your feed, and publish the feed (i.e. upload it to replace the existing copy on the server: Podbean probably has a 'publish' button). It usually takes 1-2 days for the iTunes Store to pick up new episodes (though subscribers will see them immediately).
'Pinging' the Store using the link you give is supposed to make it check your feed sooner, but I've never been convinced that it makes any difference. It can do no harm, at any rate.
Incidentally the link you give is to the website for your podcast: the actual feed is at
http://therealtalkradioshow.podbean.com/feed

Updating Feed URL :- Inadvertantly Updated Two Seperate Feeds to Same Feed

There are two seperate feeds in iTunes Music Store for Immaculate Heart of Mary Podcasts.
[1] http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/immaculate-heart-mary-homily/id294766875
[2] http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/immaculate-heart-mary-homily/id295664714
Originally these feeds were pointing to two different feed URLs. During the process of moving hosting solutions, both of these feeds are now pointing to the same feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ImmaculateHeartOfMaryHomily-cast
One of these should point to the feed mentioned above, while the other one should point to the following feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/ImmaculateHeartOfMaryLivingtheliturgy-themass
Can you offer any suggestions on how I might update one of the feeds without updating the other. I have attempted to add the new-feed-url tag and using the ping service. While that worked for my local podcast feed, it did not work for the store.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You have painted yourself into a corner, I'm afraid. The 'itunes:new-feed-url' (which you would insert in the feed they are both using) should work perfectly well but will redirect both podcasts to the other feed, which won't get you anywhere.
You have two options, neither of them much fun. You could get one of the podcasts removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments. Incidentally the last person to post about having tried this was told to use the 'block' tag - obviously this is no good as it will block both podcasts.
The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.
