ITunes Podcast Downloading RSS Feed

Hi, I'm trying to submit a podcast, but it keeps asking for an RSS feed. What is this? How do i figure out what to put in?

The Store checks only the latest episode of your feed when you submit your podcast. The media file URL for your latest episode, Day 21, is
http://adamstadtmiller.com/wp-content/uploads/podcast/P4YE21DAY121.mp3
and there is no file at this address. This is because you've mistyped it: the actual URL is
http://adamstadtmiller.com/wp-content/uploads/podcast/P4YE21DAY21.mp3

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.

Thank you.

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,
Abdul

Anyone know why RSS widget gets stuck at "downloading RSS feed"

I have added a RSS widget to a page in iWeb and it just sits there at "downloading RSS feed" - when I publish the page there is some RSS feed data there but only a small amount and it's quite old.
The feed I'm using works perfectly in a safari browser but not via the widget - I'm running iLfe11 iWeb 3.0.3 (501) and OS X 10.6.7
Any help please?

There is a whole lot of extraneous material in the feed: I'm not familiar with SquareSpace so I don't know the procedure, but I assume you've started as a weblog page with a lot of text and images and the feed has been taken from that. It's probably harmless as iTunes should simply ignore it, though it does make the feed very difficult to read.
The matter of the media file is more difficult. I'm afraid the simple answer is something you don't want to hear - give up on SquareSpace and go somewhere else. If you host your files on a normal webspace server - with only the caveat that it must support 'byte-range requests' which is mandatory, so you need to ask about this before committing yourself - you shouldn't have any trouble. Some of these weblog creation services can cause problems, though I don't know of any specific issue with SquareSpace.

Where can I find and Download RSS feeds/portlets?

Terrel,
If you mean the Screaming Media portlets (Not free) you can get them from your Plumtree Account Manager.
If your looking to get some source code (C#) for reference on how to do this, you can email me at [email protected]

Downloading RSS Feed...

After updating to Safari 4, iWeb now has trouble showing the RSS feed widget contents within iWeb. I can't say for sure that Safari 4 is the culprit, but it's the only major change between yesterday and today. Upon publishing the site (to a server), the feeds render properly. This behavior is strange, and I certainly have not seen it before today. A bit more strange is that one of my RSS Feed widgets does work within iWeb, and I seem to be able to add some feeds that show up, and others don't.
Anyone else having problems with the RSS Feed widget in iWeb after installing the release version of Safari 4?

If anyone is poking around with iWeb and has a spare 10 minutes, could you try this out:
1. Open iWeb 09 and create a new page
2. Drag the RSS Feed Widget onto the page
3. Use this as the Subscription URL: feed://images.apple.com/webapps/productivity/recent.rss
4. Observe - does the feed download?
When I do this for any feed with an .rss extension, it hangs on the 'Downloading RSS feed..." message. I have noticed, though, that feeds with an XML extension seem to work fine. Is this some kind of limitation with iWeb?

Podcasts via RSS Feeds

There are several podcasts that I would like to listen to on my iPod that are not available through iTunes. Many of these podcasts offer content via RSS Feeds. Is there a way to automate how/where these RSS feeds are downloaded so as to be automatically included in the iTunes library?
Here is an example of an RSS feed I would like to download into iTunes: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wiaa/.jukebox?action=viewPodcast&podcastId=185 7
Any direction would be greatly appreciated....

Cocomj,
Yes, since you have the link for the podcast, open up iTunes.
Go to the Advanced Menu, and then to Subscribe to Podcast, and copy that link into the box.
Then the Podcast will be added to your iTunes section.
I checked with the link you provided and it worked for me for IPR News Features.

Add a podcast from rss feed

Hi. How can I add a podcast, that is not in the iTunes podcast directory, but only is presented as a web-page and an rss-feed?

Well everyone keeps saying to use:

But it's not working for me. I keep getting Bad http result code: 404 - error....

IWeb, Podcasts, and RSS feeds

http://web.mac.com/realityramble
So I feel like I made a grave error in choosing iWeb to create and .mac to host my podcast. After creating the podcast page in iWeb and publishing it to .mac and the iTunes Music Store, I noticed that the podcast didn't have artwork when you find it in ITMS like it should have. I emailed ITMS and they replied that I have to manually update my RSS feed. No problem, except...
I've no idea how to do this! I know what to change and all that to add the artwork that should be there as well as the ITMS search keywords, but I have no idea where to find my RSS feed on my computer so that I can update it. ITMS email help told me to do a spotlight search on my computer but I can't find it anywhere.
iWeb doesn't tell you where the website is saved on your computer and I can't find it for the life of me.
Does anyone know how I can manually update my RSS feed? Again, I've found the page that tells me how I'm supposed to change the feed and I know what to do once I find it, but I can't find the bugger!
This seems ridiculous, and creating your site on iWeb is supposed to be the easy and fool-proof method, but it's really not and I'm really frustrated.

Hi Keith
You need to look in your iDisk (if you don't have it mounted go to System Prefs > .Mac > iDisk, and wait till it's synchronized).
Your RSS.xml file will be in a subfolder of your Web folder - open it in TextEdit, make your changes and Save.

Moving Podcast New RSS Feed

I am having to move my podcast from self-hosted to Podbean.
(1)
TO set up the new podcast, Podbean asks for my iTunes Feed ID.
Is this the numerical string after the id below (current link at iTunes store - behind album art):
xxxxxxxxxt/id303623613?mt=2
or is it something different (does it include the letters id)
(2)
How do I change the RSS feed on iTunes?
Do I let Podbean submit the new feed to my existing iTunes Feed ID?
Or do I have to change the RSS feed in iTunes? How?
(I want to be sure to keep reviews, listings, etc.)
THANKS!

Because the new feed carries the same podcast title as the old one iTunes thinks it is the same podcast and gives you the 'already submitted' message. Searching on 'Pink Soup' throws up two podcasts in iTunes: one of them carries the same episodes as the Feedburner page minus the latest item.
You would do better to submit an XML file directly to iTunes rather than letting Feedburner do it: there have been complaints of problems with Feedburner and iTunes.
If you felt up to re-titling your podcast you could submit it as a new one. If you are able to get at the XML file now being used by iTunes you could post a new XML file and redirect iTunes to it from the old one:

Download RSS feed as xml file from Sharepoint Online using PowerShell

Hello
Our company sharepoint (Office 365) contains also several RSS feeds.
How it is possible to download xml file out of this feed (website) using PowerShell?
I can authenticate with sharepoint using CSOM but do not what to do next.
As service user is not administrator I cannot use "SPOService".
This script works OK for standard website, but not for Sharepoint.
$doc = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$doc.Load("http://www.{CompanySite}.com/feed/")
$doc.save("C:\temp\feed.xml")
I am getting this error when using for company Sharepoint:
"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Thanks for your time considering this question.
Jozin

Hi Scott,
thanks for advice.
Combination of WebClient and Sharepoint Credentials is working OK:
$client = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$client.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User, $SecurePassword)
$client.Headers.Add("X-FORMS_BASED_AUTH_ACCEPTED", "f")
$client.DownloadFile($SiteURL, $file)

Itunes podcast download (-39) error

Persistent fault with a (-39) error relating to broken/corrupted downloads. Itunes doesn't seem to cope too well with this and the tmp download file that's created is sometimes unrecoverable
In the following path...
C:\users\username\music\itunes library\itunes media\Downloads\Podcasts
Delete the file/folder concerned, go back to itunes and update podcast and it'll start again with a fresh download.

Mmm interesting.
Googling the error returns some people having problems syncing their photos, pointing to an iTunes client problem, which would make sense since you can subscribe to the podcast.
I still can't subscribe to it but I am hopefully the only one.
Thanks for your help.

ITunes Podcast Download Failing

I recently reinstalled OS X to give me a nice clean fresh install, after this i transfered my whole library back to this new clean install, but after reinstalling i've subscribed to my favorite podcasts, the videos download but as soon as there done they dont show up under the podcasts title in the podcasts section. This is quite annoying, i've tried serveral times and as a person who uses itunes to download his favorite podcasts and sync it to my ipod is even more annoying, i've tried creating a new library file, but that doesnt work ether.
Any ideas guys?

I had a similar issue. I had to authorize my computer again for my purchases associated with my apple account. This is found in the Advanced menu.
However, I'm having a different problem no. Iy seems to have happened as a result of upgrading to iTunes 7.5. The problem I'm having now is that my podcasts aren't even downloading now. When I click on the "!" it says "there was a problem downloading 'podcast title' You do not have privileges to make changes". This is very frustrating. It doesn't seem to happen with my free podcasts, only the ones I have user names and passwords for, does it give me this issue. I even tried deleting a podcast and re-adding it, but the same exact issue still exists.

Itunes Podcast Download so slow?

Finally tired of the slow podcast downloads on my Itunes on my Macbook Pro wanted to ask what I can do to increase the rate? I have 25 MB/sec internet that works great for Netflix and all other websites. BUT for Itunes it takes forever to attempt to buy a movie rental I always give up. Any advice much appreciated!

There may be a number of reasons. What is the actual speed of your internet connection (speedtest.net). Are you trying to download SD or HD iTunes movies.

ITunes podcast downloading problem. "Authorization is required to access" error message.

I've been subsribing to a podcast through iTunes for years with no problems, but today I get the error message:
"There was a problem downloading (podcast name). Authorization is required to access (url feed)"
Its a BBC podcast and I now get the same error message for all the other BBC podcasts that I subscribe to. I also cant play or download any BBC podcasts from the iTunes Store. All other podcasts by all other providers are fine.
Weirdly this problem seems to be limited to the Macbook Pro as the iMac on the same network can access the problem podcasts with no hassle.
A few web searches have turned up very little, any ideas in Apple Communities-land!

Hey Roger and thanks for your amazingly quick response.
I did a quick confirm: it doesn't seem to work on any Windows machines I can get my hands on, so it isn't something specific to me (whew!). It definitely DOES work on any Mac I can get my hands on (which you also confirmed - thanks).
That link, the feedproxy.google.com one, works fine on Windows and Mac alike. I very much imagine that someone else is using FeedBurner and while I'm not huge into podcasts, there are a lot of others who are. This issue would've come up if it were something like that. Either way: I can access that link (and thus the content) just fine on any machine I'm on.
So, what you're saying is to ditch FeedBurner entirely and just submit the raw feed to iTunes. That sounds good (and, if I want more indepth statistics later, I'll cross that bridge then)...but I'm afraid I'm not sure how to do that. I've already submitted the FeedBurner feed to iTunes and I'm not sure how I'd go about changing it. Would I simply ask iTunes to delete the old feed and more or less resubmit?
Thanks for the help about the artwork. The individual files may very well be missing the metadata, as when I asked the guy doing that if he had included the artwork, he indicated he was rather confused. I'll test that out in a bit. The feed artwork, however, I must admit ignorance about. Where might I be able to change that? I'm using WordPress and...PowerPress/BluBrry (or whatever it's referred to).
Thanks again for being so incredibly helpful with all this. And so timely, too.

Slow iTunes podcast download

Hi,
It takes me, and others, 11 minutes to download our new episode (69MB) from iTunes. Other people's podcasts, of a similar size, I can download in 1 or 2 minutes.
My internet speed is solid, and I've just contacted godaddy support, and they insist that it's an iTunes problem; as downloading episodes from our RRS feed directly is very quick. Additionally, I'm on win7 with iTunes v11.0.4, but have recieved complaints from mac users as well.
I cleared my roaming iTunes cache manually, as well as through the iTunes preferences, and restarted to no effect.
I'm concerned about alienating our meager listenership with unusually long iTunes download times, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
D.

It's nothing to do with iTunes. When I tried downloading your latest episode in FireFox it said it was going to take fifteen minutes. (My connection, by the way, is 100Mb/s.) It might be the server, or anything in the connection between wherever it is and me (in the UK), but you can rule out iTunes as an issue (in fact when I subscribed it said it would take 11 minutes which is slightly better).
