Individual podcast episodes not appearing in iTunes but they're available to subscribers

Is there a way to resolve this problem? Just uploaded the second episode of my podcast. The podcast has an iTunes page and subscribers can download, but the individual episodes don't appear on the podcast's main page.
This is the rss link: http://spoilerpiece.libsyn.com/rss
And this is the link to the podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/spoilerpiece-theatre/id900473184?mt=2
I'm new to podcasting, so I've been reluctant to alter the feed on my own.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

Your feed has two episodes. The latest was released only today, so it's too soon to expect to see it in the Store. The Store should be showing the first episode but though it says '1 item' it's not showing it.
You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items but in fact either isn't showing any or isn't showing all of them, although all the episodes appear when subscribing. There isn't really anything you can do about this yourself as the problem lies with the Store, not your feed. It usually sorts itself out in a few days, but it's worth emaling Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to re-index your podcast as this may speed things up

Latest episode of Podcast still not appearing in iTunes, after a 10 day wait

Hi folks,
So far four episodes from my feedburner feed have sucessfuly been published to itunes.
But the fifth episode, published on the 24th of August has not appeared in iTunes.
The feed is this:-
http://3dartdirect.com/feed/podcast/
The Feed validator service (feedvalidator.org) seemed to think it was a valid feed.
As an idea, should I delete the Wordpress post and re-create it, perhaps forcing iTunes to notice the refreshed feed?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Bussey

I think the problem lies in me using a Wordpress plugin called "Bulletproof Security". A similar problem was experienced by this user who also uses the blurbrry plugin:-
http://forum.blubrry.com/index.php?topic=3688.0
The support at my hosting company also received the 403 error and recognises that iTunes may have an issue with this security plugin.
This thead may be of help to other Wordpress users who have this plugin and are experiencing similar problems.
I've asked Apple to alter the podcast feed to a feedburner address instead (since I don't have any subscribers just yet). I figure that since the feedburner feed lies outside of my selfhosted Wordpress site, there shouldn't be any security issues.
Hopefully Apple will respond a second time!
Thanks again Roger.

New Podcast Episode Not Updating in iTunes

Hello Apple Community,
My name is Sara Simms, I have recently started a new DJ podcast series called Flight. My new episode has not updated yet in the iTunes store (its been over three days since I uploaded it)
My podcast episodes are hosted here:
http://sarasimms.blogspot.ca
My Feedburner URL is:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/sarasimmsflightofficialpodcast
I also uploaded new artwork via Feedburner, in the 'Podcast' section of iTunes I see the artwork has updated.
However, in the iTunes store itself, the new artwork is not displayed. Here is the link to my iTunes podcast:
http://bit.ly/VM8tcF
I just pinged Feedburner, hopefully this helps to update everything.
Could anyone else please let me know if there's anything else I should check/change to make sure my podcast episodes are updating?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Sara Simms

Your second episode has a media file referenced at http://sarasimms.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/flight_episode_two
This works when the URL is entered in a browser, but at the URL has no extension (.mp3) iTunes does not see it as being a media file and thus does not display the episode. You need to give a full URL including the extension, as you have done for your first episode.
You are mixing episodes with and without media files - there are a lot of earlier episodes which don't have media files - these won't show in iTunes. If blogger limits the number of episodes shown in the feed, these will count towards that limit which could result in episodes not showing in iTunes once you have added enough episodes to trigger the limit.

Ipod touch is not appearing in itunes, but on my computer as a camera

i'm trying to sych my ipod touch, but when i use the USB cables my ipod does not appearing on itunes. Rather it appears on my computer as a camera.. Please help..

Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
Disconnect the iPod from the PC.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete. - Done above
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

Enhanced Podcasts images not appearing in iTunes

I'm using the host site Podbean.com to publish to iTunes. My enhanced podcasts (m4a) files appear on the host site (http://bias.podbean.com) just fine. But when I watch them on the iTunes host page (below) the images do not appear in the podcast while it plays. I have the cover photo but none of the photos in the enhanced podcast. When I originally sent it to iTunes from GarageBand it worked fine, (and still does in my playlist) but the feed available to my students (which is the whole point) doesn't come out right, thoughts?
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=310271037
feed://bias.podbean.com/feed/

iTunes does not show the images in enhanced podcasts when you simply play them from the Store page - don't ask me why. If you subscribe, then you will see the images, and this is the best way for your students to get your podcasts.
If you click the 'subscribe' button on the Store page, then you will see the podcast listed when you click on Library>Podcasts in the sidebar. Clicking on the disclosure triangle will show the list of episodes: the latest one will be downloaded automatically and you can click on 'Get' to download the earlier ones. All subsequent episodes will be downloaded automatically as soon as they are published (provided iTunes is running). When you play them you will see the images.

New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
Thanks!
Mark Gillespie

The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

New episodes not appearing in iTunes

I have uploaded eight episodes total and only one is showing up in iTunes. I checked my feed on feedvalidator.org and the feed works fine. I also subscribed to the podcast and I am able to download all eight episodes but only the first episode shows up in iTunes on our podcast page. Since I am able to subscribe to the podcast and see all eight episodes I assume I am just waiting on iTunes to update my podcast page. Is that what is going on?
The podcast name is 'GQ on the law' and the website for the feed is http://gqonthelaw.podbean.com/
Any help you can offer is very much appreciated. Thanks!
Clint

Your iTunes Store page is at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/gq-on-the-law/id533007710
and the feed is at
http://gqonthelaw.podbean.com/feed/
(please always post these when you have a question to save detective work). The feed seems to be OK - I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting until the Steore catches up. It usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear, but the Store (which caches the feeds and visits them periodically to checkfor updates) may check for feed which haven't been updated for some time less frequently - it's two months since the previous episode wasa published. It should update eventually.

New episodes not appearing in iTunes store

Arrogant - typed this in once and lost it!
Anyway - for some reason the iTunes store hasn't updated to reflect two new podcast episodes. It seems the feed hasn't been checked by the store for over 2 weeks now. The new podcasts are there - you can find them on a computer in iTunes if you're a subscriber, but not from the store or from an iOS device.
We produce the feed on the latest version of Feeder by Reinvented software, on a Mac running Lion.
The feed is at http://www.sundayreplay.com/iTunes/exeter-vineyard-church-messages.xml
And our iTunes store artist entry is Exeter Vineyard Church Messages
I thought maybe there was a maximum number of entries, so I removed some of the older ones from the xml feed, but that hasn't made any difference and the deleted podcasts are still showing on the store.
If anyone can shed any light on why this is happening I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks

I'm having the same issue.
I have had zero issues with iTunes picking up my rss feed for 60 items and now suddenly item 61 is still not being read a 6 full days after posting. (It normally shows up within hours)
I use a gooey app to generate my own feed and host it on my server
http://www.speakeasytokyo.net/downtobusinessenglish.xml
I have checked to see if it validates and it does.
I have gone through the feed and compared it to past items in the feed and do not see anything different.
This is my iTunes url
http://itunes.apple.com/jp/podcast/down-to-business-english-business/id366265697 ?l=en
And this is the missing episode title:
D2B 057 | RFID Chips
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

1st Gen iPod Nano not appearing in iTunes, but DOES appear as a disk

Good Afternoon All,
I have a 1st Gen Nano 1GB that up until iTunes 9 was syncing fine, but now - Nada.
The Nano is in disk mode and appears just fine in Finder, I can eject it and it's charging fine but iTunes 9 won't see it.
I have:
- reset the iPod (not restored because it won't show up in iTunes)
- updated iTunes to r9 and checked for any other outstanding updates
- Re-installed iTunes 9
- this morning I applied the 10.6.1 update
- The update forced a reboot of the iMac so I have rebooted since the issue started
I can't do most of what is in this KB article because it won't appear in iTunes (hard to restore otherwise, right?): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
My iPod Touch's (both 1Gen) connect to the same USB port/cable combination just fine and applied the 3.1 update to both through the same port/cable.
I don't want to restore the Nano if I don't have to, I have some Nike+ run data on there I don't want to lose, but I suppose I can pull it off in disk mode first if I have to restore.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fortunately I solved my own problem, but unfortunately it took an iTunes downgrade.
My daughter's iBook was getting dog slow so I decided to pull a "PC" and reload fresh Leopard to clear out the gunk and get her to trim the fat from her iTunes and other directories and clear the mung left over from the original Tiger to Leopard upgrade.
As part of that I initially skipped the iTunes 9 update and connected the iPod to iTunes 8 - it was recognized instantly and uploaded my Nike+ data.
I did notice that the Nano is still PC formatted from back in the day before I switched to Mac. I am going to try connecting it to my iTunes 9 iMac again, and if nothing comes up I am going to restore it in iTunes 8 to Mac format and then see what happens in iTunes 9.
I will update here.

Podcast episode not appeared

hey, does anyone know how long a new episode takes to appear once the new updated feed has been updated?
The new updated feed containing the new episode has passed the feed validator, so was just wondering that once you have the new updated feed, all you have to do is resubmit it into itunes? But itunes is saying the feed has already been submittted?
Here is the feed is anyone wants to check it out.
http://web.me.com/aspiration2/podcast.xml
Am i doing anything wrong when uploading the new feed?
thanks, Ash

Thank you for taking time out and replying to my post.
What you described and stated in your reply was the reason why its was not working.
I have spent many hours trying to get it to work and wondering why it was not,
and following your valuable instructions, i can thankfully say that the problem has been solved.
so a massive thanks again,
your friend, Ash

Episodes not appearing in iTunes directory

Hello,
I've been coming up empty handed finding a cure for my nagging issue with iTUnes directory: none of the episodes are showing up in the store listing for each of our particular feeds.
Here's a representative URL from our ten feeds we have registered in the iTUnes direcory:
http://www.lexy.com/feed/podcast?id=467
Furthermore, I ran another test and subscribed to one of the podcasts. Within the "Podcast" window in iTunes, it will only show one episode available - despite the fact that each of our 10 feeds have multiple episodes. Does anyone have an idea as to the cause and how to cure this?
Thanks in advance for any assist.

I can't find your podcast under the title given in the feed, 'All the Chocolate'. But in any case, you have a problem with your media files. For example, the URL given for the top episode is
http://www.lexy.com/feed/mp3/109634.mp3
and this doesn't lead to an MP3 file (indeed the file size is only 335 bytes) - click on the link above and you will see what I mean. This is true of the other two I checked, and would be sufficient to prevent the episodes appearing in the Store. If you subscribe manually from the 'Advanced' menu in iTunes it will list your episodes but give an error message that the file type cannot be played.
