ITunes not updating any podcast, err = 404

just got back from weeklong vaca, immediately downloaded iTunes 8.1. 6 out of 8 podcasts have new episodes. 1 of them downloads correctly, every other one returns with "stopped (error = 404)" no matter how many times I try to refresh. deleted 8.1 and downloaded again with same problem. I deleted one subscription and re-subscribed only to find that I got the same message for new episodes as well as all previous episodes. Please Help.

Same issue here. I was hoping to see an answer here about a know issue with podcasts not updating. I am also having tons of issues with my iPhone 4S but am only told it is operator issue. Funny thing is, my brother who was the head Mac Genius (back when they actually knew somethig) in one of the Austin stores said it is a software problem. No one else will admit there are any problems with their software.

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

ITunes Not Updating my Podcasts

Since Nov 25, 2008 our sports podcasts are no longer updating to our iTunes podcast page.
Have had no problem for over a year posting almost 300 podcasts.
Does anyone know wht this has stopped?
Is it the new iTunes 8.0.2?
Any help would be appreciated.

Think I'm duplicating this but anyway...
I've had the same problem with getting podcasts to my students.
I've noticed that if they go directly to the iTunes Store they do NOT see updates; if instead I copy the iTunes Store url and give it to them all of the missing podcasts show up.
But these do not appear as a refreshed podcast as they used to. Do a search for your podcast again and it's back to the old way. I thought this was a temp problem because of low staff levels during the holidays, but it seems to be a glitch. YES, tell giving the students the iTunes store url DOES WORK. Desperate times ask for disparate measures, huh?
So, I either:
Supply them with the xml and let them look at the page via Safari, Firefox or other browser.
or, to keep my personal xml file private, I also set up the podcast simultaneously on FeedBurner. If you give them the Feedburner link, they can select any number of ways to get the podcast regularly, PLUS, Feedburner keeps track of the number of downloads. Nice.

ITunes is not updating my podcast description

Hello community,
I'm the admin for the Open Society Foundations podcast feed, and iTunes has not updated the podcast description or image and I can't figure out why not. Any advice or assistance appreciated. This is the feed with the current description: http://feeds.feedburner.com/OpenSocietyInstitutePodcast. iTunes is updating all episodes, it's just not updating the description, which is in the xml file as:
<itunes:summary>The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve this mission, the Foundations seek to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, the Open Society Foundations implement a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, we build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. The Foundations place a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of people in marginalized communities.</itunes:summary>

I've read through other threads here and I believe I've confirmed that iTunes is pointing to the correct feed, and that I'm using the right tags. But, clearly I'm doing something wrong -- just can't figure out what.
Many thanks!

Although on subscribing iTunes is showing the contents of the 'description' tag (I thought it wasn't before. but I could be wrong) the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags are still empty. If you've made the changes, have you uploaded the changed feed?
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 mention 'new episodes' but there is only one episode in the feed.

ITunes not updating after 30 episodes

hi, im a bit desperate...
i own a podcast produced with podPress plugin under Wordpress. The plugin has an option to configure some iTunes store things. It has worked for 30 episodes but the iTunes store is not updating any more from its feed:
http://www.inq-mag.com/?feed=podcast
I have added 3 more episodes but they dont appear on the iTunes podcast page, as well as the info and podcast picture. I guess the problem comes from updating Wordpress, but the feed looks OK.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=267963091
I dont know what has happened but i see im not going to be capable to solve myself...

One of three things has happened.
1. iTunes has stopped updating altogether from the feed.
2. There is something in the feed since episode 30 which has caused iTunes to choke on it and not read it.
3. Wordpress has changed the feed URL so that the feed you link to is not the one that iTunes is using. Since it's not possible to detect from iTunes the feed it's using I can't check on this. However using 'Advanced>Subscribe to Podcast' in iTunes does show ten episodes up to 33, as does the feed you link to.
1 & 3 are unlikely but I suppose possible. Did you do something to the feed after episode 30?
If you submit your feed to http://www.feedvalidator.org it is flagged as valid (this isn't absolute, I've seen iTunes reject feeds which FeedValidator thought was valid); however you will see several comments, principally about the use of HTML code in the summaries etc., which strictly you shouldn't be doing.
More important, the 'item' tag for episode 30 contains two 'enclosures'. The usual result of this error is that the second one is simply ignored, but I suppose it's possible that this could cause iTunes to choke and refuse to update the feed.
More than that I can't comment, not being familiar with WordPress. If they have a Help area or a forum you could try asking there.

ITunes not removing watched podcasts from iPhone

iTunes (7.7.0.43) is no longer removing podcasts from an attached iPhone (2.0) during synchronization, even if they have a play count >= 1, and iTunes is set to synchronize only "unplayed" podcasts. Even setting iTunes to not sync any podcasts doesn't result in any of them being deleted from the iPhone when synchronizing. Synchronizing TV shows ("all unwatched" -- why the inconsistent terminology?) on the other hand work as expected. The only way to get podcasts off the iPhone at the moment appears to be to remove them from iTunes. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm experiencing the same thing...thought I had changed a setting somewhere. Let me know if you find a fix.

Itunes not updating bonjour error

Itunes not updating bonjour error (the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?

my iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?
I have two Apple Accounts. One in Switzerland and one in China. I used to be able to updates all of my apps by clicking individual apps. One day I clicked update all by accident. Ever since that, my iphone cannot update any of the apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. Please kindly let me know how to make the phone back into work with the apps.
Many thanks.

I find it difficult to believe that it took you a year to realize your phone was defective.
Restore the phone as new. Wait a couple of days before adding any apps to see if it's running ok. Then, add apps a couple at a time so that, if any of them cause issues, you'll have an idea which one.

I suppose all you can do is be content with the limitations of your old iBook G4 running Tiger. It would be possible to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard, but I would not recommend doing that because that secondhand software is quite expensive, so giving little improvement over what you have.
If you desire a more modern operating system, you will need a more modern 'Intel' computer. I expect you realise that and are simply seeking confirmation of that.
