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.

Update Podcast Feed URL

I'm trying to move my podcast feed location. I made the new feed, then used the "itunes:new-feed-url" tag in the original feed.
When I did the podcast ping, it told me the correct (new) url of the feed. But after nearly two weeks of waiting, the feed hasn't updated at the iTunes store.
And I double-checked that the feed validates, and it does.
The original feed can be found at http://www.hopecbc.org/am.xml/.
The new feed can be found at http://www.hopecbc.org/xml_am.xml/.
Feed at iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=263317967
Thanks in advance.

Could I link my existing youtube videos (or Facebook, Myspace, Vimeo, Flickr duplicates) in a field somewhere and link to them (after initially submitting a podcast feed URL)?

I've found podbean.com, and will explore podomatic.com, for submitting video podcasts to the iTunes Directory. But now that I've found these RSS feed URL generators (and will look for others) is there a way within these websites or in blogs to link to my existing videos on Facebook, for example, and the video appear in the iTunes Store?

I'm afraid not - please see my response to your post in the other thread.

ITunes Store not updating my podcast feed

Feedburner is updating my feed but it is not registering in iTunes or Stitcher. Any ideas why?
http://feeds.feedburner.com/unbelievablepodcast

Your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-unbelievable-podcast/id497894096?mt=2
Please always include this when you have a question, to save me having to search for it.
Your latest episode was posted three days ago; it shows when subscribing so the feed appears to be OK. Usaually the Store updates in 1-2 days but it can sometimes be longer; it's probably juset a question of waiting for it to catch up.

Itunes not updating new Podcast feeds

We have 50 different weekly shows that have been updating fine until this last Monday. Nothing has changed on this end. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Well I'm really glad I have found this, ill tell you why.
I own crankygamersuk.net, now due to my very limited resources I have always gone with a free hosting service, which severely limits my space, meaning I can only get 2 of my podcast on there at a time, consequentially I have to delete the oldest whenever I put the latest one on.
Now I tell you this so you can understand my problem.
So this has been the case for nearly 3 years of my podcast, and not once have we had any problems, until now.
For some unknown reason, people who are subscribed to my cast on there mobile device are only getting to see the last 2 episodes showing up, even though I have put the latest one up, and deletes the old one.
Example, go check itunes now for "cranky gamers uk", and you will see only episodes 91 and 92, and yet last Friday, I deleted 91 from my host, and uploaded 93.
So right now anyone on a mobile device can not get the podcast the way they used to because Itunes is not updating fast enough.
Of course if you go on a PC or Mac, you can right click and select update to receive the latest show.
But that is not good enough, I have many mobile subscribers.
So can someone tell me what the latest situation is, and what the best option is, this is effecting my subscriptions.
Also would you contact support?, if so anyone have best address for inquiries.
thanks

I am out of town and want to update my podcasts from hotel

I am out of town w/o my computer. I have access to the hotel PC and wonder if there is a way to update my daily podcasts from a remote location into my ipod? Thanks...I am on business in DC and bored!!!!

What is the exact wording of the message?
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

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'.

Podcast Feed Error Message "We Require that feeds include a title"

I am attempting to submit podcasts to the itunes directory and I get the following error message when I provide my Podcast Feed URL.
"We Require that feeds include a title"
My Podcast URL:
http://web.me.com/tommyboltz/TomorrowsSports_Page_Today/Daily_SportsPicks/rss.xml
I tested this URL by going to ADVANCED on the itunes menu and it worked fine.
PLease help. I want my Podcast to show up in the itunes store.

Yep, there is something missing there, but perhaps it is because you have entered the same data twice (or in the wrong place).
If you look at a Feed, for example in Safari, there is a line at the top which is (of course) a title. I have one at feed://www.extensions.in.th/ext_link.xml and when you link to that, you get "Macs in Bangkok - Information" on the top line. This information is entered in the "Channel" section, and I have <title>eXtensions: Macs in Bangkok - Information</title>
What I see with your however, is "feed://www.blacklightaudio.com/Site/Podcast/rss.xml" instead of descriptive information. If you go back into the application you created it in (or even a text editor) you will see the relevant line.

As an additional point, I see that the links themselves within each item are not right. They show with a % sign between the parts, which I am pretty sure is an indication that there are spaces that should not exist.

Podcasting Feed...Need Help

When I go to the iTunes store to submit a podcast, then to have my podcast appear in the iTunes directory (which is what I want) I have to submit a podcast feed URL.

Can someone walk me through the steps, and explain them for me please, if I am asking alot I apologize, but I cannot figure this out, and I really need too...

Submitted Podcast Feed & iTunes Rejected...

Hello, iTunes helpers,
I submitted an RSS2 feed to iTunes for my podcast to be listed, but it was rejected with unknown reason. I think I did everything right. Could someone please tell me what SPECIFICALLY went wrong?
http://djmoradio.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
I tried to resubmit, but it says "The feed has already been submitted." How do I submit my feed again & NOT get rejected?
It works. I can access my feed by manually typing the URL & subscribing to it. The thing is, I want to make it easier for people to search for me instead of just the URL. You know, make it official?
Thanks,
- DJ Mo
Podcast Feed URL: http://djmoradio.podomatic.com/rss2.xml

It's rather unhelpful that when they reject a feed they don't give a reason. Common reasons for rejection are technical problems (doesn't seem to be the case here), offensive, illegal or explicit content (doesn't seem to be the case either) or copyright concerns. I haven't listened to your material, but its possible that they may be concerned that you are using copyright recordings without either the written consent of the copyright owners or the possession of a valid podcast licence from a recognized authority.
If you are able to clear up whatever the problem is you may well find that you get the 'already submitted' error - this appears to be a bug in the Store. The workaround is to make a small change to the title and to the feed filename, so that it appears to be a new podcast (you can always change the title back afterwards).

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.

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

ITunes podcast feed not updating

My podcast feed was broken in January. It is now working again, but iTunes is not picking it up. Do I have to do something to re-start it and get it working again?
When I go to iTunes and find my podcast, it shows all the most recent podcasts up until late January (and none of the recent ones). (please note I have two podcasts which appear identical - one is mp3 and one is m4a feed...I plan to delete the m4a feed asap)
Interestingly, when I subscribe to the feed in the iTunes store,it shows only then ONE most recent podcast (which doesn't even appear in the list as described in the previous paragraph).
The feed address is: http://www.wilymanager.com/feed/podcast/?wpmfeedkey=1;292f771b94206b1dd91b4a301f 03c5d6
Would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks
Sue

The feed you link to is entitled 'Wily Manager MP3 Feed'. Searching on 'Wily Manager' in the Store brings up two podcasts, both called only 'Wily Manager'.
The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351213931 is looking for a feed at:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/mp3
The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351231957 is looking for a feed at:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/m4a
There is no feed at either of these addresses: basically you've been updating a feed at the wrong address. Since iTunes cannot find a feed in either case it cannot update the Store page, and subscribing produces an error.
I don't know how you've got to the feed with the complex URL but it's not being used by iTunes. You need to be able to go back to having a feed at the URL I give above.

ITunes podcast page not updating after changing feed

Several months ago I successfully published a podcast to the iTunes Store. The following is the location of my podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=335499017
Now, I've changed the feed URL as well as some of the details in the feed file (.xml). But the itunes page shows the old info! I made th URL change per the Apple guidelines (using the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag). I placed the new-feed-url tag on the OLD file only. I hope that's the right way to do it! I also created a 301 rediriect FROM the old feed TO the new one.
Does it take TIME for the change to take effect in itunes?

The feed URL registered with iTunes is http://www.semantica-portuguese.com/podcast.xml
There is nothing at this address. It makes no difference what you do anywhere else, until there is a feed file at this URL with the redirect tag in it iTunes cannot take any action.
I've updated the URL in the old feed file
Are you saying that the old feed file is at yet another URL? If you originally had another URL, and you placed a redirect tag in that to http://www.semantica-portuguese.com/podcast.xml then iTunes has redirected, and making alterations to the original feed is not going to have any effect since iTunes is no longer looking at it.
The only way out of this is to place at copy of the feed with the redirect tag at
http://www.semantica-portuguese.com/podcast.xml

My podcast feed stopped being updated in iTunes

The same podcast feed that I've been using for three years recently stopped working in iTunes, though it's still working correctly in other tests that I've run. The feed corresponds to a blog, and my blogreader shows the updated content correctly (including the podcast attachment). Yet it won't update in iTunes.
I use Feedburner and its Smartcast settings to format correctly for iTunes. As I mentioned, this is the same setup I've used for almost 100 podcast episodes spanning almost three years. I don't believe anything there has changed.
Other steps I've tried...
1. Subscribing to the feed directly using the Advanced menu, entering the feed directly. The subscription works (so does subscribing through the iTunes Podcast Directory).
2. Pinging the podcast in iTunes. That also worked, as I received a successful response ("Podcast Ping Received")
3. Running my feed through www.feedvalidator.org. This also worked, but with a message that may be helpful:
Congratulations!
[Valid RSS] This is a valid RSS feed.
Recommendations
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
* line 2, column 4336: description should not contain relative URL references: img/mp3.jpg (17 occurrences)
... italic;">-Mark</span></a></description><thr:total xmlns:t ...
^
* line 2, column 11586: itunes:summary should not contain HTML: & (16 occurrences)
... 0 minutes. I think you'll like it. -Mark</itunes:summary><itunes:keyword ...
^
* line 2, column 27026: itunes:subtitle should not contain HTML: &
... mes. It always helps to know those thing</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author ...

The things you've listed shouldn't prevent the podcast episodes from showing (though you shouldn't put HTML in the descriptions and summary because iTunes doesn't render it, it just dislays the HTML which looks messy).
FeedValidator can flag a file as valid even though it contains errors which affect iTunes: for example a missing <enclosure> tag tends not to be picked up, though without it iTunes won't see the episode.
Do you feel like posting the URL of your feed file? (Please include the http://.)
