ITunes returning 404 error when submitting working podcast feed

I am trying to submit a podcast to the iTunes Directory but iTunes is returning a "bad http result code:404" error. This is a known good feed verified by both feedvalidator.org and iTunes U. Feedvalidator shows an encoding error ("utf-8" vs. "US-ASCII"), but otherwise has no problem. Feed is here: http://itunesmedia.seu.edu/Chapel/2013_Chapel/rss.xml. Thanks.

No obvious answer here. The feed looks fine and can be subscribed to manually in Tunes perfectly well.
The encoding error you mention occurs a lot and doesn't normally seem to cause any problems. Error 404 is 'file not found'.
We have seen cases where perfectly good feeds couldn't be read by the Store: I've never seen an expanation, and my guess - and I emphasize it is a guess - is that the server is for some reason not responding to requests from the Store when it does to all other requests.
You could start by leaving it for a bit and trying again in case it's some sort of temporary glitch. If it still doesn't work I can only suggest you ask the people running your server if they can check the server logs for when this happened.

Timeout error when submitting feedburner podcast feed to itunes

This is my first time submitting my podcast to itunes, I have created the feed with feedburner and I can manually subscribe and download the podcast in itunes however when i try to submit the feed I recieve the generic timout error, see below. I have tried for several days with different machines to no avail. Any suggestions?
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePortcast
Thanks in advance.

The feed appears to be OK; sometimes individual servers can behave oddly with the Store but as yours is a Feedburner feed there shouldn't be any problem, so there is no obvious reason why this is happening.
You could try the allternative submission URL:
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
If that doesn't work one possibility is that there is a problem at the Store end, which does happen though it doesn't usually go on for several days. You could try emailing support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I have to say that you likely won't get a helpful answer. Otherwise I can only suggest giving it a day or two and trying again.

TS1424 error when submitting a podcast rss: byte-range requests

Hi when I submit rss feeds now I'm getting an error message that we need to enable byte-range requests.
I saw this article:
http://theaudacitytopodcast.com/itunes-changes-podcast-specs-and-features/
saying that " iTunes now requires all hosting servers to enable Byte Range Requests"
my podcast mp3 is hosted in CDN that, as I've checked, supports range requests.
but my rss feed contains urls that first return a redirect, to the real url (where range requests are supported)
could this be a problem? are redirects on episode urls supported (they were until now)? should I modify the redirect response somehow to indicate that range requests are supported on the target server (I thought that shouldn't be necessary)?
take this as a feed example: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/djsqwyd.rss
Thanks in advance,

*Please read* - 404 Errors when submitting a case?

Hi everyone,
If you are currently experiencing issues when submitting a case to BC please reach out to our chat support or private message me with the following details below so we can investigate further.
Adobe ID
Exact steps to replicate the issue. e.g. TS or CS case? Attachment?
At exactly which step produced the error? e.g. Which button was clicked?
The exact error message? e.g. There are 2 different types of 404 pages. Capturing the URL and screenshot would help.
If experiencing a 404, try hit the following url and capture the details - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/build_data.cfm This will help us to hone in on the application server that caused the error so that we can look into the logs on that server.
What happens when you get the 404? Is the case submission lost and you have to resubmit?
Kind regards,
-Sidney

Just had this happen - sending you a PM about it - grrrr...

Error when submitting a podcast to iTunes

We get the following error:
"Podcast cover art must be at least 600 x 600 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests".
We validated the feed and tested in iTunes and the podcasts work.
Here is the path for our xml feed: http://positivecoach.org/common/cms/documents/Podcast%20XMLs/PCA_1-on-1.xml
Here is the path for our image: http://www.positivecoach.org/common/cms/images/Logos/PCA_1on1_square_160px_yello w.jpg
We are stumped on how to fix. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Your image is only 160 x 160 and so doesn't even meet the standard specified in the error message: however that message needs amending because Apple are now making 1400 x 1400 px mandatory. So your image needs to be that size, and must be a JPG or PNG and less than 500 kB.

Getting "Read timed out" error when submitting new podcast

http://www.therpghaven.com/podcast/?feed=podcast
My feed is validated. I've checked it against the example feed and it seems fine. I can subscribe directly from within iTunes and it looks fine, downloads the first episode.
I saw that there was maintenance last night. Is it possible this isn't my fault?
If it is, any clues would be a great help!
Thanks

I'm using WordPress with the Podcasting plug-in, which I have admin access to. That's what generates the feed. But according to the developers, the feed is not actually a file, but something dynamically generated by WordPress when it is called. When you say "actual file" do you mean the podcast itself? Or the feed?
I'm not familiar with WordPress: possibly what they mean is that a process takes place on the server each time a request is received for the feed: if this is so then you can't change that. By 'actual file' I did mean the feed - most systems produce an .xml file and it is that which is submitted to iTunes.
As to log-in, normally the iTunes Store effectively keeps you logged in: I assume you would need to have cookies enabled - is this the case?

I get a 404 error when accessing my website which is supported by Apple. The message says that the server can't find my page. My browser is Safari. How can I fix this when it just stopped working today?

If you uploaded to MobileMe, it's no longer available. Apple's closed MobileMe and stopped offering web hosting.

404 error when hit submit from php file for requested path E:\vise\jqproject\web\errorpages\403_error.htm

I have a php script that when I hit submit, it submits the form to another php file with a get command. This worked about a month ago, but this month it's having issues. This is what the relevant code looks like in the table php file. Running
table.php shows the table in the browser and has 404 errors when I hit submit.
table.php:
    <body>
        <h1> Visual Evaluation Entry Table </h1>
        <form method="get" action="visEupload.php">
    <table id="bigTable" border="1">
        <thead>
         <tr>
           
         <th id="bandY" class="col3">Bands @263mm Y</th><th id="bandM" class="col3">Bands @263mm M</th><th id="bandC" class="col3">Bands
@263mm C</th><th id="bandK" class="col3">Bands @263mm K</th><th id="Comments" class="col3">Comments</th>
         </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr name="MCBands" id="9214">
                
                
                
                
                
                <td><input name="bandY" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandM" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandC" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandK" ></td>
                <td><input name="comment" ></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
      <input id="submit" type="submit" class="list" name="submit" value="Submit To Database" >
       
       </form>
    </body>
The server is mapped so when we run it off of the server, we use the server ip address and my file name and skip the rest of the path, which works fine with the table.php file, so that mapping appears correct. When I run it off of the server (from my
desk) and hit submit it gives me a 404 file or directory not found. When I run it locally on the server, it's saying it can't find the file name, but it says the requested url is `http://localhost:80/errorpages/403_error.html.` Physical path: E:\vise\jqproject\web\errorpages\403_error.html.
The error message says the notification is from the MapRequestHandler of Module IIS Web Core. I'm not sure why the requested url/path isn't referring to visEupload.php.
(Running on the server) When I change the action in the table.php get to include the IP address, it's behaving weirdly:
Module IIS Web Core Notification MapRequestHandler Handler PHP53_via_FastCGI, Requested URL `
    http://localhost:80/13.141.xxx.xx/visEupload.php?bandy=xx&bandM=xx&bandc=hj&bandk=xx&comment=xx&submit=submit+to+database
physical path shows as E:\visE\jqproject\web\13.141.xxx.xx\visEupload.php
Login Method and user Anonymous.
When I change the url to just be
    localhost/viseUpload.php
it's getting HTTP Error 404 not found. Any ideas why it's not finding the visEupload.php file? It has the correct .php extension. In file properties it's a type php file with name visEupload.php.
I took a look at
[404 error][1] but I see my "allowUnlisted="true" in applicationHost.config. I'm not using sitefinity, though.
I'm not sure if something got over-written when we did a server windows update.
I know we were having a problem with get and post a couple months ago and we had to add them to the IIS Manager Handler Mappings somewhere, but don't remember where we added them to check. Since I tried directly accessing the visEupload.php without any
get (and commented out get code in the file) it should have worked if that was the issue.
We are running server 2008 R2 and I'm not sure which version of IIS it is.
In case it matters, this is the contents of the visEupload.php:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en" >
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Big Table</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php
        require_once( "../classes/class.OLAPdatabase.php");
        require_once( "../common/Session.php");
        $OLAPdb = new OLAPdatabase;
          handling of the get part is commented out
       ?>
    </body>
All I can think of is that when I access visEupload.php it's running from the get/action in table.php. This might be a different user running in the system. I tried changing visEupload.php file properties to have full control for IUSR and Internet
Guest Account. It already has full control for System, and me. Users have read & exeture and read permissions. Or maybe it's something that has to do with how the directory is mapped out. I'm not sure what could be affecting this, and
why the message said it can't find the path to 403_error.html.

Re-submitting my podcast feed after it has been deleted dosen't work?

Hi
I had recently submitted a podcast feed for my company. However I made a mistake in asking to have it deleted so I could make some changes.
Now having completely revised my understanding of how the feed works, I have now re-submitted my feed:
http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
When the podcast was up before it ran fine, and was very popular. My feed is valid, I can subscribe using the 'advanced - subscribe to podcast' in iTunes. But for some reason it won't register. I have re-submitted the same feed 3 times and I don't get a 'duplicate feed' warning, it just says that it is submitted and I will be getting an email, but nothing happens.
I desperately want to get this up and running asap, what is wrong here?
Thanks

I can't really say what is going on, but I don't think submitting from another account or changing the IP number will have any effect. Normally in this situation you should change the title slightly, and also rename the feed - as I suggested, you could call it podcast1.xml (so that the URL changes) - these are the parameters affecting it. The only other possibility I can think of is that you have managed to introduce some problem into the feed which is causing it not to be accepted (though if you can subscribe from the 'Advanced' menu this seems unlikely).
Would you like to post the URL of the revised feed?

404 Errors When Accessing My Themes

Kuler is returning a 404 error when I try to access my themes on any browser. This was reported in 2013 and in Oct. 2013 Adobe said they were aware and working to fix it. What's going on with fix? Thank you.

It looks like your theme is marked as "private"--which means the link will not work. If you mark the theme as "public" then you can share the link without seeing a 404. Click on the "Private" link to change the theme from private to public.

404 Error when loading IWeb page

Greetings once again!
I have been using the IWeb program for setting up my business in nature photograhy and have passed out business cards that say web.mac.com/debo0063/iweb and people have been telling me they get 404 errors when they look up my site. I get that message sometimes at home but not most of the time. This is a problem because obviously I want people to come and visit my site. However, I don't know what to tell them about this either. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for your help! It is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Dustin

Tom, thanks for the information. I typed in my username incorrectly. It is as you stated--debo0062. And, thanks for the other information! I will let people know that it is a capital W on iWeb. Of course, I get a chance to figure this out after I get more business cards printed. Oh, well! That just gives me a reason to talk to them longer.
Dustin

If you really printed them with "iweb" at the end,

Why am I getting the 404 error when on pinterest? This is happening on my iMac and macbook.
I have tried to clear my history, tried in safari and in firefox, enabled and disabled Javascript, and allowed 3rd party sites.
Please help!!

No you are not alone. I tried to create an apple ID and then access the app store and itunes and got the same error code. Spoke with tech support for over 45 minutes and we tried everything. Tech support seemed to think that it had something to do with credit card registration. Suggested that I use a different credit card. I modified my account settings with a different card and still had the same errors. At this time I have no confidence that Apple has any idea what the problem is.
