How to point iTunes to a specific podcast

I've been able to use the iTunes Music Store, and its podcast directory, to locate existing podcasts, and load them into iTunes. But I can't seem to figure out how to point iTunes to a specific podcast that is NOT in its directory. In other words, I have a URL for a particular podcast (not listed in the iTunes directory), and I'd like to use that URL from within iTunes, to allow it to locate the podcast files, subscribe me to them, download them into iTunes, etc. How/where do I do that?

Hi Frank,
Use the Advanced menu and select Subscribe to podcast. Then enter the url. Presto!
Hope that helps,
Sara.

How long need Itunes to release a Podcast ???

Hi everybody,
last week Friday i sent my Podcast to Itunes.
On the Podcast FAQ they say, it takes to 5 Days to release a Podcast
on Itunes.
Now it's more than 5 Days.
That's my first Podcast and my question is, is that normal ?
THX for your help
O
P.S.: if Itunes are not releasing the Podcast, do you get an Email anyway ???

Thanks again Roger,

I opened another discussion, but maybe you will see this here.
So .... the Podcast is released, i did some Chapters in it, everything works fine ... but
When I download this Podcast on my IPhone, you can't see the chapters ?
Why not ????
Thanks in advance

How to point Itunes to a new location where music is stored Cannot locate music now it is on an external drive PLEASE HELP!!!!

Background Info
i have recently got rid of my Windows machine an am now using my MacBook as my main machine
On the old windows Desktop   i had my music set up as follows
Itunes libary information:
C:\Documents and settings\Lee Robinson\My Documents\My Music\
all of the Music files were stored on the PC as follows
G:\Music\My Music
Before i got rid of the machine i backed up all of my music and my iTunes libary files as follows to a External USB Harddrive that is now connected to my mac
Music Located @
/Volumes/AFRO-PORT/My Music
the iTunes Libary is located at the following
/Volumes/AFRO-PORT/My Music/iTunes
what i then did was to copy my itunes libary files at /Volumes/AFRO-PORT/My Music/iTunes to my local Mac machine .....
/Users/Afroboy/Music
Problem
Now when i fire up Itunes, i have all my playlists, ratings abum art etc...... but the problem i have is that itunes cannot locate any of the files. I guess that this is because my entire libary is still pointing to
G:\Music\My Music - as on my old windows PC
How do i tell itunes that this is no longer where i keep my music and for the actual MP3 files itself it needs to look at the following path
/Volumes/AFRO-PORT/My Music
... all file structures within these 2 file directories remain the same
I would really appreciate the heklp- my music collection is quite big and i dont want to loose any of the work i have done building it up over the past 5 years
Cheers
LR

Hi - thanks for the response
yes thats right, i have always kept my itunes folder and the directory containing all of my actual media seperate
all of the Music files were stored on the PC as follows:
G:\Music\My Music
Itunes libary information:
C:\Documents and settings\Lee Robinson\My Documents\My Music\
Your quite right, doing the above method that i have, turns it really messy when you when you try to move your entire collection. i saw this article earlier today
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
..........wish i followed it before hand
The only Semi work arond i have found is to go to File> Add libary.... and brows to what is now my new external drive with all my music on /Volumes/AFRO-PORT/My Music/ .
Once the import was complete it effectivly dupicated my entire libary - So i then went to
File > Display Duplicates to show duplicate items, sorted by date and removed all the duplicate items
.... So far seems to have worked ok however i have lost my play lists, their all on my iPod anyway so all seems fine now
As you said iTunes wants you to do thinngs in a certian way and it certianly makes you pay if you dont. So now my question is, so i dont have this problem in the future..... do i
A) Manually move all of my Music files to my iTunes Liabry and have everything in one folder (If i move manually where do i need to copy all my files to?)
B) Start from Scratch and let iTunes do it, so i have everything on the external disk

How come my iTune store only shows podcasts nd itunesU as the option when I thought I could download music or movies?

I got my ipad2 almost a month back. But the ITune store only shows two option, podcast and ituneU...can somebody tell me hot to buy music and movies from the store?

It depends on what country you are in - not all content types are available in all countries. A full list of what is available where is shown on this page . If you are in one of those countries where only podcasts and iTunes U are available, the unfortunately you won't be able to buy music and films from Apple (and the terms of use of the stores state that you cannot use another country's store). Are there other music purchase download sites in your country ?

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

HOW Do I Store All My MP3 files on an external drive, and point iTunes?

I see on this forum that folks are storing byte-hogs like MP3 and MP4 files on an external hard drive, leaving the internal drive with more room for processing.
My internal drive is full, so I got a 2 Tb external drive where I want to store my MP3 and MP4 files.
After I move the files to the external drive, HOW do I point iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie to the external drive?

Type "move itunes library to external drive" into the search bar at the top of this screen next to "Support".

How do I point iTunes on a New Mac Mini to an External iTunes Library

I have a 90 Gb (7000 tracks) iTunes Library sitting on a network drive that I want to "relocate" from my Powerbook to my new Intel Mac Mini. Or rather I want to point iTunes on the new Mac Mini to the existing Library.
How can I achive this and still retain all my ratings and other track info (ie count)?

To move your songs from the network drive to the Mac Mini, add them to the iTunes on the Mac Mini, make sure that in Edit > Preferences > Advanced the default location is on the Mac Mini. Finally click Advanced > Consolidate Library. This will move the files to your Mac Mini.
On the other hand, if you want to point iTunes on the Mac Mini to the network drive, change the setting in the above preference location.

How do I get iTunes to totally delete Podcasts I've listened to?

I listen to quite a few Podcasts on my iPod; I have them synced with iTunes so that once they have been listened to, they are deleted.
But this only deletes them from the library; it doesn't delete the files completely - this is actually more annoying than if they weren't auto-deleted at all, because now I have to go into the music folder and try to remember which ones I've listened to and delete them manually.
Is there any way of getting iTunes to delete the file completely?
Thanks!

Mine get deleted all the way, on the ones where I want that.
On my podcast page in iTunes, I click on the Settings button down at the bottom. There is a default for all podcasts, but I change specific podcasts to "Episodes to Keep: All unplayed episodes". Then I right-click ont he main podcast and make sure it is set for "Allow Auto Delete".
After it has been listened to, the blue dot to the left goes away. Then the next time the podcast is updated, the files get deleted. They are not even in the recycle bin.

How often does iTunes store update podcast feed?

I've been producing a weekly podcast for six weeks now. My mp3s are hosted on archive.org and I post them on Tumblr. Feedburner pulls the tumblr feed, and iTunes pulls the Feedburner feed. Feedburner usually updates within ten minutes of any new posts or changes I make on Tumblr, and usually, the iTunes podcast page updates just as quickly. Then sometimes, like today, hours go by and I see no update in iTunes and I get paranoid that I did something wrong and wonder if I need to delete and start over again.
I follow the same formula every week with my posts, so I don't believe anything I've done is incorrect (I'm always careful remember to remove the "s" from "https://" which gave me problems when I first started). I just have no idea how often the iTunes Store actually attempts to update. Is there a standard time, or range of time?
Here is my Feedburner page: http://feeds.feedburner.com/YaxzonJackson
Here is the iTunes podcast page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/yaxzon-jackson/id914021875

When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
You podcast is up to date in the Store with an episode posted yesterday; if you've been used to quicker results you've just been lucky; you can't rely on it always happening.

Is this an iLife installation disk or system install disk? In either case download the demo version of Pacifist and open the install package on the disk. Locate iPhoto and use Pacifist to install iPhoto. Then you'll need to apply the latest updater from the Apple Downloads webpage:
Apple - Support - Downloads. Just search for the iPhoto version you installed to get the updaters for that version.

How to change image display of my podcast page in iTunes?

As far as I understand you need to update the image's link in your RSS XML file. Be sure to change the link file name even if it links to a different image.
The XML files associated with podcasts are checked for changes every 24 hours so don't expect this to happen instantly.

Anyone know how to get iTunes 11 to display absolute dates for podcasts?

Poking around in iTunes 11 today. Podcast dates seem hard-coded to display as relative dates. Anyone know if there's a way to make them display as absolute dates? I bloody hate relative dates.

While I'm at it, it seems Apple has removed DATE ADDED from podcasts in the iTunes Store. Anyone know if there's an option for seeing them, so when I look at a podcast, I can tell how frequently it's updated?
