Latest podcast episodes don't appear in iTunes

This topic doesn't seem to be new: 6 episodes of our podcast have been properly shown up in itunes. #7 and #8 are not updated in the itunes store. Any help is highly appreciated, Thanks!
Itunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/arkhaminsiders/id689894807?l=en
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Arkhaminsiders

In fact the Store is missing episodes 1 and 7,
Episode 1 is not present in the feed. Episode 7 is, but it has no 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as is required by iTunes (and is present in the other episode except a few which are presumabloy designed not to have playable media, and thus don't show in iTunes).
The media file URL for episode 7 is present in the 'description' tag, and works; but evidently you have failed to do something in WordPress which you did for the other episodes to make it iTunes-compliant.

Latest podcast episodes dont show up in iTunes

Usually when updating a podcast iTunes will scan the RSS feed, add the latest episode to the list and then download it.
Now when a new episode of a podcast is available, it wont show up on the list until it has been completely downloaded. I can see in the box at the top of iTunes that it's downloading, and it tells me what episode it's downloading, but wont show up on the list unless I quit and restart iTunes during the download process.
There are no error messages and no ! next to the feeds. Is this happening to anyone else? I haven't made any changes, it's just started happening.

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.

Audiobooks don't appear in itunes

Hey
The audiobooks I put on my Ipod don't appear on Itunes in the Ipod (they do appear in the library).
Any idea on how this can be fixed? I need to delete some!

In order to see Audiobooks on the Touch you have to click on the More... button on the bottom right after you open Music. Then you'll get a list including Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc. from which you can choose. According to the promotional video for the Touch, you can replace one of the standard icons in Music, e.g., Songs, with Audiobooks or Podcasts so you don't have to click on the More... icon to get to the list.

My Podcast Episodes are NOT Indexing in iTunes.

Hello all!
Thank you in advance for the help of this great community.
Ok, here we go:
Podcast Episodes NOT indexing on my iTunes URL page.
1.) RSS is live and works (episodes can be downloaded by podcast subscribers)
http://zenvirtualassistants.libsyn.com/rss
2.) URL is live and works:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zen-virtual-assistants-podcast/id912879481
3.) Hosting at Libsyn is working fine too.
4.) Subscribers can download fine.
5.) Podcast approved by iTunes and URL page is live
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zen-virtual-assistants-podcast/id912879481
6.) PROBLEM:
Episodes (5 in total) CAN NOT BE SEEN/ARE NOT INDEXING on iTunes URL page.
What do I do to solve this please?
Thank you so much for your help and solutions!
Sincerely,
Joel

You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items (you will notice that it says 'Total: 5 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.

Address Book ulContacts don't appear in iTunes

I just went to sync my original iPhone via iTunes and just discovered that my address book contacts don't appear in iTunes. My address book is fine and all of my groups appear. Anyone have any helpful hints to get them to reappear?

I have a similar issue. There are hundreds of podcasts on my Ipod Touch that I would like to delete. However, they don't show up on the computer. 2 questions:
1. You say to delete them from the Ipod. Please explain how. If they have to be deleted individually it will proabably take a lot of time.
2. Why does this happen? How can I prevent this from happening again?
Sure wish Apple would give us more help with this.
Thank you.

Playlists don't appear in iTunes

I got a new computer, I installed itunes, connected my ipod but my play lists from my ipod don't appear in itunes? How do I fix that? Everything I see has me sync the itunes to the ipod (thereby eleminating my playlists) but not the other way around. How do I fix that?

Well this didn't work. I get to step #10 and there is just the words "home Share" and nothing listed below it, no arrow to click. I'm assuming neither computer is recognizing each other even though they are sitting side by side and connected to the same wifi connection. I'm literally about to throw everything in the trash!!!

I need help please , i try to use itunes but my iPhone don't appear on itunes, i try everyting ,dowwload itunes again restart computer and iPhone,restart running device support,etc.

GarageBand files don't appear in iTunes.

My exported garageband files don't appear in iTunes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're sure they are not there? Have you done a
search with the name in iTunes? Or on your disk with
Spotlight?
I've tried all these things to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

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.

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.

Podcast episodes display as subscriptions in iTunes 11

I just upgraded to iTunes 11--big mistake.
All of my podcasts are listed on the left column. For a few podcasts, the same series shows up multiple times as though they are multiple subscriptions even though they are merely different episodes of the same podcast. I tried grouping them to see if that would organize them together but it didn't work. I still have 9 different episodes represented as 9 different subscriptions. It wasn't like this before I upgraded.
Any help as to how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

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.

How long should it take for a new podcast episode to show up in iTunes?

Greetings, I have a podcast listed in iTunes and it showed up fine after they listed it. However, about 6 hours ago I uploaded a new episode (number 2 - woohoo) and it's not showing up in iTunes yet. Obviously when I fired up iTunes it downloaded it for me as I was subscribed but if you search for my podcast under iTunes podcasts it only shows one episode.
The podcast is Duel Boot Radio, hosted on libsyn (http://duelbootradio.libsyn.com/) and the iTunes listing is at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=121788608&s=143 441
Yes, if anyone does listen, we have a ways to go on our sound quality, etc.
Anyway, is this normal for this type of delay before a new show appears in iTunes?

Hi Scott.
Some people are reporting problems with getting new episodes listed. Here are a couple of things to try:
- Make sure you have the <ttl> tag in the <channel> tag
- Include the tags
<pubDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2006 10:51:21 -0500</pubDate>
<lastBuildDate>Fri, 03 Feb 2006 10:51:21 -0500</lastBuildDate>
in the <channel> tag
- After you've uploaded your new .xml file with the updated info, PING the iTunes server with
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is your ID number
You can also use the html address like this:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://www.YOURADDRESS.org/YOURFILE.xml
- And lastly, once you have downloaded the new episode in iTunes, PLAY it all the way to the end (you can jump to the end) so the date played shows. I believe this sends something back to the iTMS, and sometimes it helps to update.
Hope this is helpful.

Unable to check/uncheck older podcast episodes in iPod sync to iTunes 11.0

Hi,
I have a few podcasts in my iTunes where I have saved a large number of episodes. Now I have upgraded to the new version of iTunes I unable to check/uncheck older podcast episodes from iPod syncing - the finder window won't scroll to the bottom of the list, and just 'bounces' after scrolling past a certain number!
Not sure if this is a bug, or I'm overlooking something.
Thanks

I have the same problem. Scrolling does not work in the iPod podcast list panel, but it works in every other panel or window in iTunes...
