I need help uploading my podcast to iTunes

Hello guys,
First of all, I not very tech savvy so please bare with me.
I've been trying to upload my podcast to iTunes but I get this error:
Podcast cover art must be at least 1400 X 1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.
My images are 1400 x 1400 in JPG, but still, I can't upload them.
My podcast feed URL is: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:23141041/sounds.rss
I'd appreciate any help I can get, since I have a deadline to upload it.
Thanks

Go with a better podcast host. One that is 100% iTunes compliant like Libsyn.
Here is a tutorial about podcasting:
http://traffic.libsyn.com/lilith/podcast101_140311c.pdf
Chapter 7 goes over creating a libsyn account, setting up your RSS feed and uploading your first episode.
Chapter 10 goes over submitting your RSS feed to iTunes and Stitcher.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Rob W

Need help getting my podcast to itunes.

Ok, I have my podcast on my .mac website and if users click subscribe it will download it to their itunes. The problem I'm having is everytime I try to add it to itunes music store it says "Error parsing feed: Invalid XML" now I'm new to all this and I'm really not sure what I need to do to fix the XML to get it to work. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

I can´t upload my podcast to iTunes

Me and my friend have made a podcast and know we want to upload this one to iTunes. But we got a porblem, iTunes says al the time that it can´t find any episodes.
The podcast is upload to soundcloud and then I have put it on a blog at blodspot and after that I have made a feed from the URL in feedburner. At the time I did this I was looking to a move at youtube so I have marked al the boxes who I needed to.
But when i put my RSS feed in iTunes it says that there are no episodes.
Does anyone of you know what´s wrong?

Here you have som URL
This is the URL to soundcloud and to the episode I have uploaded there
https://soundcloud.com/klaraamandapod/en-fruktsallad-med-klara-och
I took this URL and added /download.mp3 after, the move I watched on youtube told me to do that. I took the addres with the added things and made myself a blogpost there I got the URL as a link in the title or something.
So here you have my blog and as you can se the title in the post are a link http://klaraochamandapod.blogspot.se .
And then with help by feedburner.com I made a RSS feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/zICOw.

The podcast file doesn't exist. Neither does the video file, at least not in the directories that you give below. Doublecheck your directory names. Is PODCASTS really all uppercase? Generally, you should use all lowercase for paths and filenames, it makes it simpler all around.
Your itunes:image is actually in the PODCASTS directory, not the PODCAST directory. Make the image size smaller!!! 1200 x 1200 is enormous. The image is 640K. You need to keep the image size down to no larger than 300 pixels wide and tall.

How to upload enhanced podcast to itunes feed?

I currently have a popular podcast in itunes here
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=214060101
to which I have been submitting mp3 files. However I just bought my first MacBook in order to create Enhanced Podcasts in the AAC format. I use a podcast host (Hipcast.com) to upload my files and publish to the feed. But they dont allow me to upload the m4a version. How can I upload from (GarageBand) directly to my itunes feed?

If Hipcast don't allow you to upload m4a files you will have to find a different host. In theory all you have to do is to edit the feed file to give the URL of m4a files which you have uploaded to a different server; but it's very probable that like other similar services Hipcast doesn't allow your direct access to the feed.

Need help, Photo appear sync in itunes but there are no photos on my ipad 2

Hi,
I need some advise, recently upgraded my itunes to iTunes 10 and at the same time I added new photos to my laptop( running on windows vista) pictures file.
I wanted to sync the photos from my laptop to my ipad, but in the end, on my itunes, it appear all photos are synced but on my ipad there are no photos at all.
Tried reinstalling iTunes, deleted the ipod photo cache and reset my ipad... and it still doesn't work!!
Any one can help??
Appreciate if only can help with this issue....

Did you restore to factory settings?new iPod via iTunes on this computer?
What happens when you try to sync?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Need help uploading photos

I have been unable to upload photos from iphoto. All I get is the event titles! I need help...

Yes, it's possible to use both, but not that way. That command will make duplicates of all your iphoto images, so you don't want to do that.
For now, you have two choices.
1. Set PSE as your external editor in iphoto ( iphoto>preferences>advanced):
and send the photos from iphoto to PSE. If you set the PSE editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over the existing file, iphoto will remember you latest edits + the original.
If you do this, be sure to choose the right file as your editor. You want this one, in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files:
Or
2. You can export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the Editor, edit and save your changes and then reimport them to iphoto as new images. The advantage of this is that you can change the name and format if you want and you can save as many versions as you like. iPhoto only keeps one version--if you edit again, the new version replaces the one it was keeping.

Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
I looked all over on how to fix this..
So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8170/ituneshelp.png
I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

Help-cannot download podcast from itunes to ipod. error msg

I have the IPOD video 30gb, 5th generation, and have itunes 7.02..
I am able to download the podcast from itunes into my library, but am unable to download it onto my ipod. an error msg pops up:
"...was not copied to the IPOD because it cannot be played on this IPOD."
I've searched and searched for an answer to this, and it appears to be a somewhat common problem with the itunes upgradeto 7.02
does any one have a solution?!?
HELP! (i'm an ipod newbie-and this is driving me absolutely MAD!!)

OMG-i just figured it out!!
*first of all, i came across this in the itunes store help area-->
"Why won't some video podcasts play on my iPod?
Some video podcasts, while playable in iTunes, are encoded in formats that are not compatible with iPods. To convert those videos so that they are iPod-compatible, highlight the video in iTunes, right-click on the selection, and choose "Convert Selection for iPod". iTunes will automatically re-encode the video for playback on iPod. Go to the Movies section of your Library to find and play the converted episodes.
*i had converted the podcast previously, but i had just continued to try and transfer it from the podcast section rather than going to the movie's section, and dragging it from there. once i did that, it worked!
hope this helps anyone else out there, as i did come across a few other queries...
