My feed should be correct, but iTunes has difficulties downloading episodes
I do have a proper podcast feed, adapted to iTunes specs, as far as i can tell. But still, it says "we had difficulties downloading episodes from your stream". Please advise, this is my first try to submit my podcast. The feed is here: http://niklascarlsson.se/?feed=podcast
Your feed works perfectly well when subscribed to manually in iTunes. However I think the problem lies with your filenames - the most recent one is:
avsnitt-3-på-språngmarsch-mot-den-svarta-veckan.mp3
If you enter the full URL in a browser it will substitute the code %C3%A5 for each å, but apparently the iTunes Store is not capable of this and is choking on the diacriticals. You should rename your files to avoid these and use only plain letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens. (It doesn't matter what the filename is from the point of view of the user since it doesn't show.)

where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music
Your purchases won't automatically show in your new Mac's iTunes library. If you go into iTunes > Preferences and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' then what you can redownload should show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them - click on the cloud to download them. Or click on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup, and you can redownload them from there.
If you've moved countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holders have removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. In that case if you still have your old computer then you could copy them over from that (e.g. via an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support or via home sharing), or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them via File > Add Too Library -

I don't know if you all realize but iTunes has been updated more than five times so can you please update your information on how to transfer apps form a IOS device to iTunes please
Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your comment, I don't know what it is you're referring to, but if you believe a support article is incorrect, you can tell Apple about it here:

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?
If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Difficulties Downloading Episodes From Your Feed
My feed is valid. I can subscribe to a podcast in iTunes, using the feed below, and it downloads the latest episode. But when I try to submit it to iTunes, it tells me that it is having difficulties downloading episodes from your feed. I would appreciate any help whatsoever. Here is my feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ParentsPressPlay
I was able to subscribe to your feed in iTunes and play the top episode: it also played when I entered the URL in a browser. The server appears to handle 'byte range requests' as required, and there are no weird redirects in place; and the feed appears to be OK, so I can't see any reason why there should be a problem.
I can only suggest leaving it until after the weekend and trying again. Though not common, it's not unknown for the Store to make an error over a submission. -
Podcast Submission: error message "We had difficulties downloading episodes from your feed."
When I try to submit a podcast into iTunes, the error message that comes up is "We had difficulties downloading episodes from your feed." I've validated the feed. It's not a duplicate submission. Not sure what to fix, as it doesn't list a specific error. Any help??
This is another case of WordPress strikes again. You have one episode, but its media file appears only in the description in the feed, and in a link on the web page. You have to have an 'enclosure' tag containing the media file URL or iTunes will see the episode as having no playable media and thus not show it.
WordPress is producing what is in effect a blog feed: it is possible to get WordPress to produce a podcast feed, and there is evidently something you need to do to enable that, but I'm afraid I can't advise on that.
Your media file is hosted on Dropbox and this is liable to cause you problems. As it's currently set up the link leads to a web page with a download link - this will not work. You have to provide a direct link to the file which will play in a browser, and you should avoid it being https instead of http. You would be better off hosting your media files on an ordinary web server. -
RSS feed in iTunes says it has difficulty downloading episodes
Hi,
When I submit my podcast RSS feed info into iTunes I am told that "we are having diffuculty downloading the episodes from your feed". I have seen this anwered for other poeple with the same issue, but I am using SquareSpace to host my podcasts and I didn't find the previous answers useful in solving my problem. So the RSS feed that I am using to submit my podcast to iTunes is:
http://thesaturatedlife.com/podcast?format=rss
I have gone through all of the steps in both iTunes and SquareSpace, but I still receive the "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".
I can manually subscribe to the podcast through the advanced settings in iTunes (which was also done by tech support at squarespace as well to make sure there was nothing wrong with the url).
I used the feed validator through feedvalidator.org and the rss feed was shown to be a good and active feed.
Does anyone know what I can do? SquareSpace techs can't seem to find out what the issue is. They say everything is in working order on their end. And the iTunes tech guy I was emailing with dirrected me to this forum for help. So I hope somebody knows what I can do to correct this.
Thanks,There is a whole lot of extraneous material in the feed: I'm not familiar with SquareSpace so I don't know the procedure, but I assume you've started as a weblog page with a lot of text and images and the feed has been taken from that. It's probably harmless as iTunes should simply ignore it, though it does make the feed very difficult to read.
The matter of the media file is more difficult. I'm afraid the simple answer is something you don't want to hear - give up on SquareSpace and go somewhere else. If you host your files on a normal webspace server - with only the caveat that it must support 'byte-range requests' which is mandatory, so you need to ask about this before committing yourself - you shouldn't have any trouble. Some of these weblog creation services can cause problems, though I don't know of any specific issue with SquareSpace. -
I try to play a song, but iTunes has changed the information on the file
After installing iCloud, my iTunes suddenly started changing the information on my music files. I would go to play one song, but another song would play instead. I have a PC. Does anyone have any idea what the cause and solution might be?
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Lost my music on ipod, but itunes has it
While putting music on iTunes, and connecting my iPod, the iPod became blank and no longer contains my music. However, iTunes has all the music. iTunes popped up with this message, "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly,please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
If I reinstall iTunes, will all my music be lost?
Dell Windows XPTry the instructions in this article; reinstalling iTunes won't delete the contents of your music library.

On my iphone I have gone into my iTunes account and entered all of my card details correctly however every time iTunes has told my card has been declined. The purchases I have been trying to make have all been free so it would not require money and my card had worked before can someone please help??
There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps
If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account
