ITunes not updating RSS feed.

I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure this out:
After a hiatus of several months, I have started releasing new podcast episodes. The last episode in the iTunes store directory was Nov. 14, 2012.
In the last week I have released 2 new episodes, but since the content was time sensitive I backdated them. I changed the Nov. 14 podcast to July 20 and then added a September 15 and a February 22, 2013 episode.
The changes show up through iTunes software, but not in the iTunes store. It still shows the last episode as being Nov. 14, 2012. It has been 4 going on 5 days without any changes.
Also, iTunes is not displaying my podcast logo, even though I have uploaded a 1400 X 1400 jpeg.
I have checked and the podcast feed validates without a problem.
I am at a loss as to what to look for or try next. If anyone has any ideas I would be very appreciative for any advice.

Hi Roger,
I contacted Apple and received this confusing reply (cut and paste below). It is confusing on 2 counts; 1) My feed validates just fine and 2) within minutes of receiving it, iTunes updated my feed to show 2 missing episodes.
Still, the artwork is not showing and I posted another (backdated) episode over a week ago and it still hasn't shown up in the store yet either.
I am wondering if I should resubmit my feed as the Apple support email suggests but do not want to loose my current subscribers.
Any thoughts?
This is the email I received from Apple:
Dear Malcolm,
Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Abdul and I will be happy to assist you.
I'm sorry to hear that you have been unable to get your podcast listed on the iTunes Store. Addressing your concern is important to me.
Malcolm, it appears that your podcast's RSS feed is not validating. To help find the problem, you may want to use a feed validator, such as this one:
http://www.feedvalidator.org
You can get help with many specific issues, learn how to test a feed, and view a sample feed in the iTunes Making a Podcast page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
If you can successfully subscribe to your podcast and listen to each of the episodes, try resubmitting the feed to the iTunes Store. If you receive a message that the feed has already been submitted, the iTunes Store is detecting that the podcast is a duplicate. Please follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
1) Change the title and link fields of your RSS feed to something other than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the title and link fields back to what they were.
If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues. Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page: http://discussions.apple.com
I hope the above information will help you.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,

Password to update RSS feed

Hi,
Since a few months I've been getting this little pop-up window asking for a name and password to update RSS feeds (see below). This window did not appear before and the problem is that (1) it does not accept my .mac password and (2) I don't know which other password/username it might be asking for.
I am using Safari on an Intel iMac.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best,
WSpiff
Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
To update the RSS feed "Filmkes", you need to log in to the area "idisk.mac.com" on rss.mac.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.

HI,
I really would feel very unsafe giving the password to my iMac on Twitter.com!!
They mean your Twitter username and password, not your administrator account on your iMac. Have you signed up for a Twitter account in the past???
To update the RSS feed "http:/twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.rss", you need to log in to the area "Twitter API" on twitter.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
When you type in the username and login and see: Remember this password in my keychain.
That's right. Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) stores all your usernames and passwords for you.

Error updating RSS feed, email and calendar

About 2 weeks ago my Droid X running Gingerbread, stopped updating RSS feeds, email and calendar but other apps/widgets seem to work fine.
If I go in to the RSS feed and try to subscribe to a new feed I get the following error message, "Can't add news subscription now. Try again later."
Also noticed that Check for update gives "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."
My thought was to try to manually reinstall Gingerbread. Followed instructions found on other forum sites but when trying to reload GB from recovery I get the following error:
"Installing update...
assert failed: file_get.prop("/system build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2.1/VZW/23.340:user/ota-rel-keys, release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.3/4.5.1_57_DX5-18/110410:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
I am trying to avoid a factory reset of the phone but would appreciate any help/suggestions that anyone has.

Hello tjoreilly,
Thanks for providing your experience on refreshing the RSS feeds on your device. Based on the information you have given and what Cody21 previously stated, I recommend as factory reset also. Before doing a reset, I suggest verifying that your contacts are saved on Gmail and/or backup assistant and calendars are backed up on your Gmail account. This is to ensure that your personal info can easily be restored after the factory reset. Any digital media, like pictures and videos, will be saved on your memory card & won't be erased unless you wish to do so.
Once the reset is done, try to access and update your RSS feed to your preference to confirm that the issue is resolved. If so, please respond to this posting so other can benefit from your experience. If not, then feel free to elaborate on your experience after the reset so we can further assist.
Thank you...

*** 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):

(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.

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.

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

IWeb wont update RSS feed

Im currently working on my website at www.ottoferdinand.com
I have already published it and have 5 blog entry on the web. As you can see i put the rss feed link in front of my web, but the feed just wont update. It will only show the first 3 blog entry. How can I fix it? To make the rss feed updated properly each time I add new blog entry??
Thanks.

The method for transferring iTunes to another feed is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
However as this involves adding a tag to the feed you cannot do it in iWeb itself. You could do it this way:
Download your feed and open it in TextEdit in PLAIN TEXT MODE, not Rich Text which is often the default.
Add the tag as described in my page.
Re-upload the feed using an FTP program. Do not subsequently make any amendments in iWeb for two weeks.
Alternatively email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move it (give them the URL of your Store page and both feed URLs) - there's no guarantee they will but they have done for some people.

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!!!

How often does iTunes store update podcast feed?

I've been producing a weekly podcast for six weeks now. My mp3s are hosted on archive.org and I post them on Tumblr. Feedburner pulls the tumblr feed, and iTunes pulls the Feedburner feed. Feedburner usually updates within ten minutes of any new posts or changes I make on Tumblr, and usually, the iTunes podcast page updates just as quickly. Then sometimes, like today, hours go by and I see no update in iTunes and I get paranoid that I did something wrong and wonder if I need to delete and start over again.
I follow the same formula every week with my posts, so I don't believe anything I've done is incorrect (I'm always careful remember to remove the "s" from "https://" which gave me problems when I first started). I just have no idea how often the iTunes Store actually attempts to update. Is there a standard time, or range of time?
Here is my Feedburner page: http://feeds.feedburner.com/YaxzonJackson
Here is the iTunes podcast page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/yaxzon-jackson/id914021875

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 podcast is up to date in the Store with an episode posted yesterday; if you've been used to quicker results you've just been lucky; you can't rely on it always happening.

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.

Mail has completely stopped updating RSS feeds

I have numerous RSS feeds subscribed to in Mail, and they have all stopped updating (for several days now).
Trying to manually tell them to update does nothing. Also, if I try and add new feeds, it doesn't even grab the articles in the new feeds.
Anyone know how to reset this?

Unfortunately I don't have a great answer for you.
Once I found the folder inside the root level Library/Syndication. Another time I found it inside Users/Library/Syndication. When I had the problem, I trashed this folder, then relaunched Mail.
I still have the problem once in a while, and either Syndication folder has not been re-created. When it happens, I quit and relaunch Mail, and it seems to clear it up.
It's really a pain in the neck. I don't know what's causing it. I don't know what else to suggest if you've already trashed both/either Syndication folders and then quit and restarted Mail.

Keep getting pop-up message re updating RSS feed for twitter

Please advise why I get this pop-up message. After I get it and fill in the info, I get another pop-up message asking for the same info, which doesn't take. What's going on? My Safari version is 4.1 (4533.16)
Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
To update the RSS feed “Twitter / mimbrava with friends”, you need to log in to the area “Twitter API” on twitter.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.

Ok...
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari / Preferences then select your Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies. Delete all Twitter cookies.
And in the Preferences pane select the RSS tab. Click: Check for updates. Select: Never
Restart your Mac.
See what happens when one is a senior citizen, Carolyn? You've got a great memory!
It rang a bell. I've never seen this behavior before with pop ups from Twitter. Interesting...

ITunes not updating sorting in iTunes Music folder

I have enabled "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". iTunes will properly sort files based on the ID3 data when I first import them, but it does not update the filenames or folder names when I change song information from within iTunes. I don't know what the exact behavior of this option is supposed to be. iTunes says it "Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on disc number, track number, and the song title." This description is consistent with its behavior when importing tracks but does not say whether it will continue to move things afterward.
I'd like to know what the exact behavior of this option is supposed to be and if there is a way to force an update of the sorting. I'm thinking re-importing would work, but I've got 25,000 songs so that would be an unwieldy last resort at best.
