ITunes isn't picking up my latest podcast episode, though it's showing up in the RSS feed.

I had to delete the latest blog post on my site with my most recent podcast episode because something was wrong with the audio file. I deleted the entire blog post and the episode disappeared from iTunes--all good so far.
When I re-posted everything (blog post title was slightly different, but the filename for the linked .mp3 file was the same), it never showed up in iTunes (24 hours later at the moment), although it's showing up in the RSS feed.
Any ideas why the new episode isn't showing up in iTunes?
This is me (us): http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/love-this-movie-hate-this-film/id393761573
The latest episode should be "730 Days Later: Anniversary Special" from this blog post: http://lovethismoviehatethisfilm.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/730-days-later-anniver sary-special/
Thanks!

The latest episode does not have have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3 or other media file, so iTunes will not show the episode.
There is an mp3 file linked to in the web page, and in the 'content:encoded' tag, which iTunes does not read, but though the other episodes are OK you have evidently missed out a step in WordPress.I can't advise on that, but whatever you did before to get the file into the feed is what you need to do here.

Problems with the RSS feed for my podcast

Hi, am very new to this so apologies if this requires a simple solution.
I was told that to find the RSS for my podcast, I hover my cursor over the subscribe button and this will be it. When I do this I get:
itpc://www.jilt.org.uk/publichtml/publichtml/Podcast/rss.xml
I have tried this with itunes and it has been rejected as not working.
Other information that might be useful for anyone trying to help is that my url is www.jilt.org.uk.
I have entered "jilt" as the sitename on Iweb but this doesn't seem to come up anywhere.
Am very confused by it all and would hugely appreciate any advice.

You seem to be uploading to a server that uses a public_html folder as the root folder.
Inside this you have a copy of the public_html folder and, inside this is a copy of your website.
You also appear to have your files uploaded to the public_html folder because your podcast is available here....
http://www.jilt.org.uk/Podcast/Podcast.html
So that you don't break the RSS feed what you need to do is this:
Publish the site to a local folder and you should get an index.html file and a folder named "jilt".
Upload these to the top level public_html folder. Now open the site in the browser and hover over the "Subscribe" button to get the feed's URL.

Latest podcast episodes dont show up in iTunes

Usually when updating a podcast iTunes will scan the RSS feed, add the latest episode to the list and then download it.
Now when a new episode of a podcast is available, it wont show up on the list until it has been completely downloaded. I can see in the box at the top of iTunes that it's downloading, and it tells me what episode it's downloading, but wont show up on the list unless I quit and restart iTunes during the download process.
There are no error messages and no ! next to the feeds. Is this happening to anyone else? I haven't made any changes, it's just started happening.

In fact the Store is missing episodes 1 and 7,
Episode 1 is not present in the feed. Episode 7 is, but it has no 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as is required by iTunes (and is present in the other episode except a few which are presumabloy designed not to have playable media, and thus don't show in iTunes).
The media file URL for episode 7 is present in the 'description' tag, and works; but evidently you have failed to do something in WordPress which you did for the other episodes to make it iTunes-compliant.

ITunes continues to give me a message that it cannot download my podcast from podomatic -- what am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions exactly and copying and pasting the rss feed.

Help! I've watched two tutorials and it appears that this should be so simple, but iTunes will not download my podcast that I host on podomatic.com. I've copied and pasted the RSS feed. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

The feed itself seems OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes, and the latest episode downloaded OK.
However, on checking the URL of the latest episode's media file in Safari resulted in a download: it should play in the browser. Though forcing a download doesn't seem to upset the iTunes application, the Store doesn't like it since it needs to be able to stream the file to play it in the Store page.
It's also a requirement that the server can handle 'byte range requests' (where only part of the file is requested at a time instead of the whole thing) because this is the method used by iTunes. It was testing for this that showed there was a problem because I got a 'forbidden' error (in other words, because a download is forced it's not possible to request only part of the file).
It must be possible to get this straight on Podomatic since they handle a lot of podcasts, but you will need to take it up with them and check that it's been corrected.
The first test is to paste the media file URL into Safari's address bar and hit return: after a short delay it should play in the browser window. If it downloads you still have a problem.

HT1819 I have two existing podcasts on iTunes. I have new RSS feeds for both. Can I change the RSS feeds on my existing podcast listings or do I have to resubmit?

Is there a way to download older podcasts (i.e. - earlier than the latest podcast episode)?

Is there a way to download older podcasts (i.e. - earlier than the latest podcast episode)?

Hi Puffball2015,
The Podcasts application for iOS does make it possible to download podcasts that are not the latest episode. See this article for how to select podcast episodes for download -
Podcasts app for iOS: Stream, download, and subscribe to podcasts - Apple Support
Specifically this section -
Downloading
If you download a podcast episode, a copy of the episode is stored on your iOS device so you can play it anytime you like even if there's no Internet connection.
Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap the download icon next to an episode.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

We have a new Wordpress site, how do I add a description and artwork to the RSS feed of the podcast?

Hello:
I am surprised I could not find this on a search of Google or Apple Support.
Our church has a new website created with Wordpress. We have all of the functionality ready to go in order to have the RSS feed work with the itunes store.
However, when we submit the feed to iTunes, it says that we need to add a graphic, as well as a short and a long description. I believe this used to be a part of the iTunes website submission process, however it apparently now needs to be a part of the feed itself, if I am understanding correctly.
So my question is where can I find instructions on how to add this in Wordpress?
Just so you understand, I am not in charge of the site itself... I am basically doing some research on my own to help out our programmer. I am just in charge of uploading the weekly audio.
If anyone could guide me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated.
Randy

Wordpress can construct a proper podcast feed, including the 'itunes:image, 'itunes:summary' and 'itunes:subtitle' tags; there will be places to enter this data but I'm afraid I can'd advise on WordPress. It does seem to have a steep learning curve as we see more problems with Wordpress podcasts than any other creation method.
Unless someone who happens to have got a WordPress podcast working happens to see your question and offer information I can only suggest that you look for a Wordpress forum or some Help on it.
Although it won't help you with Wordpress you might like to look at this page about podcasting basics: it includes a sample basic feed so that you can at least see what one should look like:

Please always post the URLs of the Store page and the feed when you have a question. For reference, your feed is at
http://www.japanesebaseball.com/services/jbw-podcasts.jsp
and the Store page is at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/japan-baseball-weekly/id443149184
Looking at the Store page, the image appears there perfectly well. On subscribing there is no image associated with the episodes because you haven't embedded an image in the files - please see this page for clarification:

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

How to get poster art in the RSS feed using Podcast Producer workflow

With podcast producer there are standard workflow which create atom feeds. I can not figure out how to automatically generate a poster image (or any type of images) associated with the video to show in the rss feed. Anyone got this to work?
Here is the feed of the test site:
feed://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/atom_feeds/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394-A 846-5407C8BF8FBD
I like to show poster art of an random frame of the movie.

You actually are publishing images. For example:
http://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/feed_logos/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394-A 846-5407C8BF8FBD.png
http://switch.macsenior.net:8171/podcastproducer/attachments/4C9A6B5A-4D09-4394- A846-5407C8BF8FBD/2EFF4653-5E35-4F9F-B0D1-14C797DAB1C8.png
You aren't seeing these images because of the way Safari parses feeds. Try using curl from the command line or another browser. Safari and Podcast Producer really don't play well together. A good example is trying to use the SSL port to view feeds.
If you'd like to change the image to something common for all episodes in a workflow, select Window > Workflow Inspector in Podcast Composer. Be careful with your image dimensions, as it is posted unaltered.

I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few episodes at a time due to the limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around?

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

How can I download podcasts on iPod Touch? (I have the RSS feed.)

I have the RSS feed of a podcast that I'd like to download (not just stream) and play on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6. I have the Podcasts App (purple icon) and the Music App (brownish-orange icon).
What must I do? When I tap the Podcasts App, It says "You can subscribe to podcasts in Top Charts or the Podcasts Store". Is it possible to bypass Top Charts and the Podcasts Store and just load the RSS feed URL into some app? I don't think the podcast I want to add is found in either Top Charts or the Podcasts Store.

lllaass
You are correct my response was supposed to be completely useless for this thread because it is my pet peeve when somebody says 'iTouch' Please see the picture below to see that the OP did indeed use 'iTouch'.
If you look carefully at your first reply it says 'iPod Touch', looks like they changed it after I said something.
Seeing as I am batting 1.000 might as well ask if you know anything about https://discussions.apple.com/message/21829555#21829555

Latest Podcast Episode Isn't Showing

My latest podcast on October 9, 2014 titled, "Some Limits Aren't Real" isn't showing in iTunes.
Podcast Feed: http://www.coachingclarity.org/feed/podcast/
iTunes Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-clairty/id704041136

The repost of 'Some LImits aren't Real' appears when subscribing but not in the Store. It was posted only today, in fact only 33 minutes ago, so you wouldn't expect to see it in the Store yet. It can usually take 1-2 days for a new episode to appear in the Store.

ITunes Just Duplicated All My Most Recent Podcast Episodes

I believe this has happened to me before. It is endlessly annoying, as "new" episodes of everything will now show up on my iPod. I don't know why this happened or how to prevent it in the future. Any ideas?
Also, any suggestions on a simpler way to fix the immediate problem than manually selecting each duplicate podcast for deletion?
Thanks.

I don't know how you have managed to achieve this, but you have got yourself into a tangle. The feed you linked to is fine, but iTunes is in fact looking for a feed at
http://soundedgoodonpaper.com/comic/?feed_slug=cbl
and this is not a feed but a web page, and so iTunes can't read it. Consequently the Store is sticking on the cached version of the last time it was able to read the feed, and subscribing does not work.
I have no idea how this has happened, but it leaves you seriously stuck. Your only option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using the proper feed URL. Give them the URLs of the Store page and both feeds.

How can I stop iTunes from putting in a list of podcasts episodes the same episodes I already downloaded?

If I download a podcast and delete it, when I refresh podcasts, I see the same podcast show up with the cloud next to it, as an option to be downloaded. This makes it impossible to keep track of what I already listened to. I dont want to keep the old podcasts on my computer after I'm done with them. What can I do about this?!
thanks!

If I would've read the whole post, I would've seen that. Sorry.
Strange though. Hope someone a li'l more helpful can find the answer you're looking for.
