Latest Podcast Episode Not Available

Episode 7 of my podcast isn't showing in iTunes. I published it earlier today and it appeared briefly and then disappeared.
My feed is here:
http://duathlon.com/feed/podcast/
The iTunes podcast page is here:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/duathlon-insider-podcast-training/id89798447 6
I can't find any problems with the feeds for episode 7 in relation to the other episodes.
Any suggestions?

Problem is solved for now.
The episode reappeared on its own.

Podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes

Hello,
I am having a problem with my podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes. The last 5 episodes I published appeared in iTunes at the bottom of the episode list, as if they were old episodes--i.e., they appear as if they were the first 5 episodes published. They also do not have a date assigned to them as the rest of the episodes do. They were not distributed to podcast subscribers, possibly because iTunes is not recognizing them as new episodes.
Here is my podcast feed: http://ic.instantcustomer.com/instantcasts/feed/podcast/5047174b90f14efe542431c2 674b1bd9
And here is the link to my podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-business-marketing-minute/id896451432
The problem began with last Wednesday's episode, which was Episode 30, and has continued ever since. I did not do anything differently when I published that episode than I did when I published the previous 29 episodes, and those updated just fine, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell (i.e., they appeared correctly on iTunes, and appeared as a new episode for me as a podcast subscriber). Also, after examining the rss feed, I could not see any difference between episodes 1-29 and episodes 30--34, at least as far as the way the feed was formatted. So, I have no idea what triggered the problem, and no idea how to fix it. If I can't resolve the issue then I think I'll have to abandon the podcast, since there's no point in publishing a podcast that doesn't distribute new episodes to subscribers.
If anyone can shed light on this problem for me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!

As you say, in the Store the latest episodes don't show a publishing date. When subscribing in iTunes, none of the episodes show a publishing date, and they are listed in the order they appear in the feed.
In the feed, none of your episodes has a 'pubDate' tag, which is where iTunes gets the date from. Since most of the episodes in the Store have a date, it looks as if originally your episodes had this tag, but that five episodes back you did something in whatever method you are using to create your feed which removed these tags: the Store is presumably getting the dates from its cache since the episodes haven't changed, but obviously doesn't have the dates for the last 5 episodes.

Is there a way to download older podcasts (i.e. - earlier than the latest podcast episode)?

Hi Puffball2015,
The Podcasts application for iOS does make it possible to download podcasts that are not the latest episode. See this article for how to select podcast episodes for download -
Podcasts app for iOS: Stream, download, and subscribe to podcasts - Apple Support
Specifically this section -
Downloading
If you download a podcast episode, a copy of the episode is stored on your iOS device so you can play it anytime you like even if there's no Internet connection.
Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap the download icon next to an episode.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Podcasts that I had subscribed to with my old computer are invisible in the iTunes store on my new computer. The error message says the podcast is not available in the US. Yet I could still download the podcast on my old computer before I switched. How can I fix this?

Hello, ted_marx38.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID. When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID. If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I am getting a message that "my podcasts are not available at this time" Second day this has happened, i have synced phone many times. what is going on?

I am getting a message on my iphone 5 for the last two days saying that " my podcasts are not available at this time"-any ideas of what this could mean? I have synced phone many times. Is it itunes? My carrier?
thanks

I just figured out a solution. I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod. I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them. That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps someone else!

New Podcast Episodes Not Updating if Not Subscribed

Hey there,
My podcast hasn't updated the latest two weekly podcast episodes if you haven't subscribed. If you have subscribed, the episodes are available for download. XML uploaded yesterday.
Here is my xml feed: https://s3.amazonaws.com/GraceHB_Downloads/Audio/Poderator.xml
Here is the iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/grace-lutheran-church-hb/id470693381
Thanks in advance for the help.

The 'title' tag for your 2 September episode reads
<title>Love Thy Neighbor</title>
The ode at the start isn't upsetting the iTunes application but it's upsetting FireFox when used as a feed reader and is flagged as an error by FeedValidator, so it's extremely likely that it's upsetting the Store and rendering the feed unreadable. You need to remove it.
The code appears to be for a linebreak and is, I read elsewhere, permissible in XML 1.1 but not 1.0 which is what you have specified: in any event, you don't want a linebreak and getting rid of it altogether will probably solve your problem.

ITunes isn't picking up my latest podcast episode, though it's showing up in the RSS feed.

I had to delete the latest blog post on my site with my most recent podcast episode because something was wrong with the audio file. I deleted the entire blog post and the episode disappeared from iTunes--all good so far.
When I re-posted everything (blog post title was slightly different, but the filename for the linked .mp3 file was the same), it never showed up in iTunes (24 hours later at the moment), although it's showing up in the RSS feed.
Any ideas why the new episode isn't showing up in iTunes?
This is me (us): http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/love-this-movie-hate-this-film/id393761573
The latest episode should be "730 Days Later: Anniversary Special" from this blog post: http://lovethismoviehatethisfilm.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/730-days-later-anniver sary-special/
Thanks!

The latest episode does not have have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3 or other media file, so iTunes will not show the episode.
There is an mp3 file linked to in the web page, and in the 'content:encoded' tag, which iTunes does not read, but though the other episodes are OK you have evidently missed out a step in WordPress.I can't advise on that, but whatever you did before to get the file into the feed is what you need to do here.

Tv episodes not avail on apple tv

Tv show episodes show availibility to purchase on ipad but not apple tv, why? Specifically the real housewives of new jersey. I always purchase it on mondays on apple tv, now i dont get the latest episode but its on itunes on my ipad

Under other "sync-able" players, there's usually the "Sync only checked items" radio button. Not for the 2.0 Apple TV. There's no option, but acts as though that option ("sync only, etc...") has been selected. Figured it out after an hour of walking back and forth from my Mac to the TV. Argh.
Try it. De-select the shows, sync the AppleTV and look under the "TV Shows" and the one's you've unchecked will not be there.

Latest Podcast Episode Isn't Showing

My latest podcast on October 9, 2014 titled, "Some Limits Aren't Real" isn't showing in iTunes.
Podcast Feed: http://www.coachingclarity.org/feed/podcast/
iTunes Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-clairty/id704041136

The repost of 'Some LImits aren't Real' appears when subscribing but not in the Store. It was posted only today, in fact only 33 minutes ago, so you wouldn't expect to see it in the Store yet. It can usually take 1-2 days for a new episode to appear in the Store.

Approved podcast is not available after a week.

I received the following e-mail from Apple stating that our podcast had been approved in the iTunes directory.
Dear podcast owner,
Your podcast, located at http://www.refactoredpodcast.com/?format=rss, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/refactored-podcast/id928960430
You will be able to find your podcast through a search on the iTunes Store within the next two days.
For more information on iTunes Podcasts, including how to change or remove your feed, see Making a Podcast and our FAQ.
There is also an Apple Support Community called Producing Podcasts, where you can find information and assistance from fellow podcast owners.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team
The podcast has not shown up yet in any of the searches, and when I follow the link iTunes tells me it is not available in the US, which is where it was submitted from. Has anyone else ran in to this? The link they provide at the bottom (Producing Podcasts Community) no longer exists either.
Thanks!

A number of people have complained recently that it's taking a lot longer than it should for newly accepted podcasts to appear in the Store. If your feed is OK there isn't really anything you can do except wait. You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you will probably just get a form answer telling you how to submit a podcast (which you already know). Your feed appears to be OK.

New Podcast Episode Not Updating in iTunes

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

Your second episode has a media file referenced at http://sarasimms.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/flight_episode_two
This works when the URL is entered in a browser, but at the URL has no extension (.mp3) iTunes does not see it as being a media file and thus does not display the episode. You need to give a full URL including the extension, as you have done for your first episode.
You are mixing episodes with and without media files - there are a lot of earlier episodes which don't have media files - these won't show in iTunes. If blogger limits the number of episodes shown in the feed, these will count towards that limit which could result in episodes not showing in iTunes once you have added enough episodes to trigger the limit.

Grey's Anatomy VOD episode not available in HD

Why is the 10/10/13 episode of Grey's Anatomy not available in HD? When I go to it the only option is to play it back in SD, which I don't want to do. There are 5 episodes available and the 10/10/13 episode is the only one not available in HD. I hope Verizon fixes this soon.

You don't say what country that you are in, but assuming that it's the US then series 8 is currently only available in SD and only on an episode-by-episode basis - whether that will change we won't know (we are fellow users), but it will require the TV company/US rights-holder to provide HD versions of the show and/or do a 'series pass' for it, it's not Apple's decision.

Individual podcast episodes not appearing in iTunes but they're available to subscribers

Is there a way to resolve this problem? Just uploaded the second episode of my podcast. The podcast has an iTunes page and subscribers can download, but the individual episodes don't appear on the podcast's main page.
This is the rss link: http://spoilerpiece.libsyn.com/rss
And this is the link to the podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/spoilerpiece-theatre/id900473184?mt=2
I'm new to podcasting, so I've been reluctant to alter the feed on my own.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

Your feed has two episodes. The latest was released only today, so it's too soon to expect to see it in the Store. The Store should be showing the first episode but though it says '1 item' it's not showing it.
You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items but in fact either isn't showing any or isn't showing all of them, although all the episodes appear when subscribing. There isn't really anything you can do about this yourself as the problem lies with the Store, not your feed. It usually sorts itself out in a few days, but it's worth emaling Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to re-index your podcast as this may speed things up

Episodes are in "My Podcasts" but not available to the public

Hi, I'm brand new to iTunes and I'm having trouble getting started. I don't have a Mac, I'm on Windows, but we're just starting up our podcast 14A Sports via SoundCloud. We were just approved for the RSS/Beta feed and I was able to get all of my episodes into the "My Podcasts" section, but when other people go to look for our show there is no sign of us existing on iTunes. If I look for it myself in the store I can see it, but everyone else says they cannot find it.
Are we in an observatory period now where iTunes is reviewing our episodes or is there something that I'm doing wrong?
Appreciate the help, thank you.
-Al

That only enables you to see the file. You need to submit your feed at
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
and wait for it to be accepted into the iTunes Store. In the meantime you should consider Robert's suggestion to get your feed into Feedburner and submit that version.
You may find this 'get you started' page on podcasting helpful in clarifying the process.
