ITunes says "the feed has no episodes", despite being a validated feed.

I am trying to post the following:
http://www.thestreamguide.com/xml.php?channelid=128
which is dynamically created by a website I host. This was never a problem in the past - iTunes always accepted submissions without complaint. In fact, there are a number of podcasts created by this site already on iTunes!
When I open it directly in iTunes ('Subscribe to a podcast'), it works like a charm.
It also validated perfectly via feedvalidator.org. Does anyone have any ideas what I could missing here?

Got it (I think/hope)!!! Each one of your items has <itunes:block>yes</itunes:block> which means that iTunes won't see it (see http://www.feedforall.com/itune-tutorial-tags.htm#block). Either take it out or change it to no in the original feed, and see what happens.
(I'd still advise not using periods in your file names - it might work with iTunes but other podcatchers may have a problem.)
Let us know what happens,
Greg

HT1539 iTunes says the code is invalid when it clearly is valid, what do I do? How do I get my digital copy??

I bought The Dark Knight a few years ago, I tried to download the digital copy before but I gave up. Now that I have my iPhone, I'm determined to get all the digital copies I'm entitled to! So I'm here to find out how to remedy the situation. iTunes says the code is invalid when it clearly should work. I didn't buy the DVD off the street or anything. iTunes doesn't give me any further options, so what can I do? Anybody have any advice, please?

Yeah, I actually did get it. I had to send an e-mail to Warner Bros. with all available info and my issue and they sent me another code that actually worked.
So I actually just had to do what varjak paw suggested, it just took a few days (maybe a week) and I forgot to get back to you guys. So, belated but all the same thank you, varjak paw!

Itunes says this feed has no episodes

When I try and submit my podcast iTunes says this feed has no episodes. I used feed burner to create my feed. Here is the link http://feeds.feedburner.com/God321 and here is the original rss link http://podcast.den.liquidcompass.net/mgt/podcast/podcast.php?encoder_id=96&event _id=765 Any ideas? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

Your episodes have no playable media. Each episode should include an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL or an mp3, m4a, m4v or mov file. You don't have any enclosure tags, only a link to something with a php extension.
This page may help you: it gives some information about creating a podcast and includes a sample basic feed:

I used to have a podcast that had been accepted on Itunes, but my I began to have problems with my host, so I changed host and created a new podcast, and I submitted my new podcast, Apple refused, and now says the feed has already been submitted??

I used to have a podcast that had been accepted on Itunes, but my I began to have problems with my host, so I changed host and created a new podcast, and I submitted my new podcast, Apple refused, and now says the feed has already been submitted? Maybe Itunes thought that I was someone trying to copy my old podcast because I kept the same name, I tried to change the names but it looks like I'm on a blocked list...

There is a procedure for changing the feed URL for a podcast, which it seems you haven't followed: you have to add a special tag to the old feed - just submitting a new feed will have exactly the effect you describe. The proper method is described here:

HT201263 When my ipod touch is in recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the itunes page says the website has timed out so it won't recover. Can anyone please help me?

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes. I have tried everything on the website.

I keep getting an error message that says "The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I try to install iTunes. I have tried everything on the website. When i try to remove the components of iTunes I get the same message. How can I download iTunes?

Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
Does that go through any better for you?

My laptop will not let me install the latest version of iTunes, it says 'the installer has insufficient piviledges to access this directory' and tells me to log on as the administrator, even though I am logged on as the administrator. Please help!!

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error.

Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

how do sync a book that I have added as music to itunes on my iMac and then listen to this book on my iPhone. Itunes says the icloud status is waiting so the song(book) is in the process of being matched but has not yet been processed. (no help there)

Hi,
Why are you trying to add a book as music? It will not match as this only applies to music files. It will be uploaded if the bit rate is 96 Kbps or greater.
You should change media type to audiobook and you will be able to sync by wifi or USB.

I rented a movie in the iTunes Store but now when I want to watch it it says; 'cannot load the movie' while it says the download has been completed.. What now? I already payed for it.

Did you rent the movie on your iPad? Are you trying to watch it on your iPad?
Do you have WiFi connectivity when trying to start viewing the movie?
You should have answered "yes" to all the above. If not, that is probably the source of your issue.

TS1424 I tried downloading a new song by Josh Turner, "Time is Love". However, when trying to download Itunes gave an almost automatic response saying the file has been corrupted and there is basically nothing to download. How do I get my song?

You pay 1.29 for a song and you should get it. Itunes says the download is corrupted and check with the itunes store for available downloads to redownload my song. Nothing happens and the song I already purchased is not yet available to me.

Try downloading again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If it absolutely refuses to download:

How do i transfer music from my windows 7 computer to my iphone 4s when it says the device has timed out?

when i connect my iphone 4s to my windows 7 pc, it says the device has timed out so cannot connect. what do i do? i need to transfer music from my pc to my phone but it wont connect. please help, thank you!

Temporarily disable any security software on the computer, then attempt to sync content to the device.
If that resolves the problem, contact whomever supports the security software (not Apple) and inquire how to prevent their software from intereferring with iTunes.
