Missing Episodes in iTunes Music Store

I've been doing this show for some time now, and I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, and so far nothing has helped. Here's the URL for the feed:
http://www.paperbagradio.com/rss.xml
I've pinged it and it hasn't helped, and it's been recieving the ping. On the iTunes music store, they're only listing the first 13 episodes of the feed. But if you were to subscribe to the show through iTunes, it would download everything in the feed, not just those first 13 episodes. How can I get iTunes to show every episode in the feed in the music store?

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paperbagradio.com%2Frss. xml
It helps to make sure that the feed is valid, in this case there is an error in your feed. You need to change the second line. Make "DTDs" = "dtds"
Then in lines 37 / 38 change it from
<itunes:category text="Comedy">
</itunes:category>
to
<itunes:category text="Comedy" />
Finally on line 1168 - change "isn't" to "is not" some times the " ' " will cause issues with xml.
These might seem like small changes - but they should help.

New Episodes of my Podcast are not showing up in the iTunes Music Store?

this isn't really an "itunes for mac" question, but since i do my production on a mac, i'll ask it here!
i produce and record a weekly podcast (about 2 hours each week) which has been listed in the iTMS since it started (last february)
this last week we recorded episode 31 and uploaded it to my .mac account, and all went well... the new episode is downloading to anyone who already has subscribed to the rss feed (homepage.mac.com/airplayradio/podcast.xml), but it hasn't shown up in the iTunes Music Store... the software i use to upload the shows generates an automatic ping, and i've done a manual ping a couple of times a day since wednesday, but nothing...
any ideas? absolutely -nothing- (software/hardware/etc.) has changed since i uploaded episode 30 a week ago, and that showed up within an hour...
many thanks for any advice!
cheers

well, i never got a reply directly to my question, but i was directed by email to post my problem within itunes... go to the podcast page of my podcast and then select "report a concern"... i always thought this was to report offensive podcasts, but if you click on that button you'll see a pull down list with a bunch of problems... i selected "difficulty downloading" and then explained the problem completely... as i said, i never heard back from anyone, but about 4 days later my podcast episode showed up... and this past wednesday we uploaded the latest episode and it showed up in the iTMS almost immediately... go figure?!
if anyone's interested, the podcast name is Schnauzer Logic and its comedy and talk and music and pop culture (i used to be the host of a morning show)... good for a giggle once a week for a couple of hours.
cheers!

New episodes not showing up in iTunes Music Store

Hi I'm trying to figure out why new episodes of our podcast don't show up on our iTunes Music Store Page in iTunes.
The last episode listed on the page is from October 29, 2006 even though there are episodes in the feed as recent as April 1, 2007. Once you click "subscribe" and go to the "podcasts" section of iTunes, you can see all the episodes, they just don't show up in the iTunes music store page.
The feed is at:
http://www.uusf.org/AboutUUSF/SermonArchive/RSS/UUSF_Sermons.xml
Any help is appreciated. -Steve

OK, I got it to work by running the feed through
feedvalidator and fixing all the errors. The wierd
thing is that the xml file was created by a program
called RSSBuddy, so it shouldn't have been messed up.
Interesting. I suspect that the XML parser used by the iTunes Store is fussier than the iTunes software itself!
I guess I need to find a new program for editing the
RSS feed. Any recommendations?
If you're on a Mac then Podcast Maker is a great choice. For Windows there's a product made by Feed4All.
Cheers,
Greg.

Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

Hi,
Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
Thanks!

The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

Podcast not updating on iTunes Music Store but it's ok on Feed

Hi, we've been posting a podcast every two weeks on iTunes Music Store for more than a year, the podcast name is sushi pop. This is the feed that we're using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ColissioncomSushiPop but since almost a month it hasn't been published on iTunes Music Store, anyone could help us with this? Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

Neither the Store nor iTunes when subscribing is showing episodes 25 and 26.
Your earlier episodes each have two 'enclosure' tags: if both contained playable media iTunes would ignore the second (you can't have more than one enclosure per episode). However in each case the first one contains a bit.ly URL which downloads the media file. This is not acceptable to iTunes, which thus defaults to the second enclosure, which does contain a playable URL. (The test is that the URL, when pasted into a browser's address bar, plays the episode in the browser, not downloads it.)
However episodes 25 and 26 have only one enclosure each, containing a bit.ly URL, again downloading the file. Since the episode contains no playable media iTunes does not display it.
You need to stick to one enclosure, containing a direct URL to the media file.

I recently restored my iPhone 4 and lost my iTunes music store

Recently restored my iPhone 4 and everything went well except the iTunes music store is missing, the app store is still there. What do I need to do to get it back or where do I look?? I'm lost

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, nor via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right), then have you got Settings > General > Restrictions > iTunes set 'off' ?

Marketing original music at iTunes Music Store

I did a couple searches and couldn't find any threads about this - pardon me if I missed it!
I was wondering how an independent artist/group can make their music available for purchase on iTunes.
My band is having our latest CD duped and packaged by a company who advertises that our material WILL BE AVAILABLE at the "store" - IF we use their service(s).
Does anyone know if an un-signed band MUST use a third party to market our music at iTunes?
If it's not necessary . . . could someone please explain how it's done - or direct me to where I might get more info on it?
Thanks a lot!
Danny

Several artists whop release their own CDs are on the iTunes Music Store, so it's not absolutely necessary to be signed to a label, though obviously a label who has a number of artists is more likely to get priority than will an individual artists. Contact Apple via this web page and see if you can work out an arrangement with them.
They’ve reportedly been swamped with requests, so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back from them soon or indeed ever. If you don't hear from them, an indie label that already has a relationship might be your best avenue. In another post, an Apple employee said that there are 600 already, including these:
http://www.cdbaby.com/
and
http://iodalliance.com/
I don't know if whoever you're considering is really able to get your tracks onto the iTMS or not; try to get some sort of confirmation that they actually have been successful, particularly if they're going to charge you more for the CD duplication that would another plant.
Good luck.

Dumb Question about iTunes Music Store

Hey all...
Did iTunes Music Store just go all Rental or am I missing something? I bought some movies from iTunes but now it looks like they all went rental.
Thx..
JG

Yes and No. You can still purchase movies the same way you have in the past if they are of a certain movie label. However most of the movie labels have only approved their movies to be rented, not purchased on the iTunes Store.

How to Remove the iTunes Music Store Arrow?

OK, I may be totally missing something, but how do you get the little arrow (that now shows up next to songs, albums, artists,etc) to disappear? I can't do it in view (only manages columns) or preferences or music store...
annoying to have my homemade tracks/obscure stuff come up with that little arrow...no you're not going to have it in the itunes music store....

How do I redeem a gift card in iTunes music store, without upgrading iTunes

I am trying to use a gift card in the iTunes music store, and am given prompts to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes. I do not want to upgrade, and have found no option to use gift card without the upgrade. Suggestions?

Sell the gift card to someone who IS willing to upgrade?

Slow response from iTunes Music Store

This is a problem for a lot of iTunes Music Store customers. Many people have complained that they get "cannot connect to the Music Store" error messages. Apple replies that repairing the Keychain can fix the problem, but I and several others in various discussion forums find that doesn't help.
After upgrading to iTunes 6 and repairing my keychain, then restarting, I find that I can connect to the Music Store only after repeated attempts. I get the error message repeatedly, but if I keep trying enough times, I finally get through.
A similar problem happens when I try to preview or buy songs -- I get several error messages, then finally connect.
Using the Radio feature is similarly frustrating. I have to wait ten minutes or more after clicking on a genre to get a list of stations, and often I have to face a long wait with no error messages after selecting a station.
I don't have this problem when connecting to the Music Store from other computers, but I have no other problems connectin to the Web from Safari or Firefox, or with any e-mail program.
However, Apple's site seeems wonky -- lots of "document contains no data" when I click on forums or even to log in.
I am using an iMac G4 (the dome computer) with Mac OS X.2.8.
Apple, what's the solution?

You're not alone. Since Saturday I seem to be experiencing two problems;
1: The previews of tracks don't work properly - that is to say, they don't download correctly - I'm on 2Mb broadband and I've had to switch it into download the whole preview before playing due to it only playing 12 seconds of the 30 seconds if I leave it 'on the fly'
2: I have repeated problems downloading tracks from the ITMS. THey get 50% of the way through then I get ;
"There was an error downloading your purchased music. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
After repeated retries I eventually get the track downloaded but it's painful.
Again - this has only started happening since Saturday (I've been using ITMS on my mac since it opened in the UK), and like I said I'm on 2Mbits/s broadband with no other issues.

2nd Gen (Touch Wheel) won't play audio book from iTunes Music Store

I have a 10GB Touch Wheel iPod (2nd Gen). Software version 1.5.
I recently purchased the unabridged version of The DaVinci Code from the iTunes Music Store. The 7-part audio book plays just fine on my iBook and on my daughters' Nanos but it does not play on my older iPod.
What happens when I choose the first part on my older iPod is that you can see it cycle through parts 1-7 without playing anything and then returns to the main menu.
I don't have problems with other music or previously purchased audio books.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I figured it out on my own... somehow my device got switched to "shuffle" mode. I have no idea how that happened, but there you go. Since I never use it in that mode, it never occurred to me to check that. Sigh. I switched it back to 'play in order' mode and now it is just fine.

I can't get into the itunes music store - can anyone help?

When I try to get to the itunes music store, I get the following error message:
itunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Then try again.
I don't understand what this means, and I don't know how to do what it is telling me to fix it. I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Please be very specific, because I don't have lots of computer knowledge.

Were you connecting regulary up until a week ago? I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of those messages tonight. May the iTune site is very busy? (a lot of iTunes cards given out today)
I closed iTunes and then re-opened and it helped. My connections have been intermittent at best tonight.

Problem in connecting to iTunes/Music Store PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I can't connect to the itnues music store and get the following error message when I try:
itunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
If anyone could give me advice on what to do I would be very grateful!!!! Oh, you might have to explain things in very simple terms. My IT knowledge is pretty basic.
Thanks
Stew

Hi stewart,
I assume you can connect to the internet otherwise, through your browser, email client, etc?
If so, check this post:
Can't connect to the iTunes Music Store
If not, investigate your internet connection.
