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 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 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 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.

*** is up with itunes not updating my info??

*** is up with itunes not updating my info. the problem I am still having after 3 weeks is I can not update my credit card/debit card info because itunes says my billing information does not match my bank records. I know this is lunacy because the info I put in is completely correct, i even contacted my bank 3 times to make sure they had my info correct. so obviously something is completely ******** with itunes/iphone in which I cant update my info. **** I cant even download a free app, because it says my info has changed, and I need to change it. when i do, it gives me that stupid message about my info not matching my bank records. Something needs to be done asap.

does itunes support ever respond to these forums??
Since these are user-to-user forums, no they don't.

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?

New Podcast for iTunes Not Updating in the iTunes Store

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

Hello Sai,
You can try below and let me know the result.
I believe you must be using cycle counting method. Make sure the person name of inventory document creator and the person who actually count the document is same. If so then last counting date will be correctly updated. I would advice you to simulate below scenario.
Create the PI document and assign the name of person. And perform the actual counting by another person by exactly same method for which you were getting an error. Then observe the results.
If above solution fails to find out the cause then consult SAP.
Cheer up!! and all the best!!!

Itunes Store Has not updated my podcast for 5 months

I have been maintaining 4 separate podcasts for about a year and I have one feed that will not update in the itunes store but if you subscribe to the feed then all of the episodes are there. I do not use any program to create the XML files, I just edit them with the required info. Any help with this would be great.
THanks
Here is the Feed
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=262138599
Here is my XML file.
http://www.libertychurch.net/audio/nc/podcast.xml

Your feed is littered with  ; these are intended to enclose comments and prevent them being shown except when viewing the feed directly for programming purposes. They are excluding large chunks of your feed from being read. How did they get there? You should look closely at the feed (which as it stands only seems to contain three viable episodes:
Numbers: Zhongwen Vol 1 Lesson 1
Dixie 400: A Flea Market in North Georgia
Jobs
and remove any of these tags you don't need. I can't check on iTunes until tomorrow morning but I would expect it not to show the other two episodes either.
Also FeedValidator comments 'Feeds should not be served with the "text/plain" media type' - I don't know whether this could be an issue: please see this note at FeedValidator:

ITunes not updating podcasts?!?!

So now it's up to itunes to decide when and when not to updat a podcast? I am very very busy lately and, just haven't connected it to my pc to update (this particular podcast is a subscription based podcast and doesn't auto update.on the ipod) for about a month, and have been using my ipod speakers to charge. I have noticed that it hasn't downloeded automatically on the PC like it used to when I started itunes for awhile. I just assumed I was misisng the updates when iTunes was started. (It hasn't been started very often over the last month). Today I saw an exclimation point where the refresh button was telling me I havne't listened to the podcast in awhile therefeore iTunes has stopped updating this one, and it wouldn't download new ones till I synced my ipod today. Why must I listen to a podcast i am subscribed to in order to continue receiving updates? Should I just click on one every now and then, or is there an option to turn off this horrid thing off so I can just get updates like before and not have to worry about it?

Stephen, have you tried hitting the refresh button at the bottom right-hand corner? That worked for me.

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 Podcasts NOT Updated to Podcast Page

Since Nov 25, our new posted podcasts are NOT being updated to our main Podcast page. They ARE being updated to anyone who has subscribed, but they are NOT showing up on our Podcast home page.
Have been using the the iTunes Podcasts Page for our class in Sports Broadcasting and is really causing trouble for all as we approach final exams and projects for the semester.
Could someone please tell us how this can be fixed ASAP. Could it be because of some of the recent updates to iTunes?
Thx Much

sent this to Feedback today....
We continue to have issues with our podcast page not being updated. WE missed the last two weeks of the term and are very, very annoyed that our Podcast page on iTunes was not updated during the very important end of the semester.
All worked PERFECTLY for two years, then suddenly there are no updates to our Podcast page on iTunes Since November 25, 2008.
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=250215965
Please, please help us find out how to fix and update our Podcast page.
We have sent numerous e-mails to feedback and posts to the Discussions.

Photo Not Updating for Podcast

I have a minor issue with the Podcast app from iOS 5.1.1 thru 6.1.
The artwork for the podcasts are not updating in the app. I listen to a lot of music podcasts and on iTunes I see the updated artwork every week. When I sync my iPhone 5 I will see it say Updating cover for episode ### but when I play that episode podcast it will have the artwork for an older episode. Usually for an episode that I have already deleted.
Not a huge crisis but it is annoying. Thanks.

The feed you are checking is at
http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
and though the server is being slow to respond it can be subscribed to in iTunes and shows your recent episodes as expected.
However, iTunes is looking for a feed at
http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/~calvaryg/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
There is no file at this address. This means that since 14 November last you have been updating the wrong feed.
You need to replace the feed at this URL. Once done, you can redirect iTunes to your newer feed if you want, following the process detailed here:

ITunes not updating iPod rated songs

I have used iTunes and iPods for several years. I always use automatic updating. Previously, any change to a song rating I made on my iPod would be reflected in my iTunes library after a sync. Since my most recent iTunes update (7.1.1), I have two problems. (1) iTunes does not update the ratings changes made on my iPod and (2) podcasts which I listen to on my iPod are not marked as "not new" in iTunes. It appears that Apple has screwed up something in the sync process in the newest iTunes version. Is anyone else having this problem?

Having exactly the same problem as your first issue. In the playlist of top-rated tunes they all appear. However my iTunes library has 460 relevant tunes, whereas the same playlist on the iPod has 100 fewer. They are greyed out and can't be changed and aren't played.
Any ideas?

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.
