"My iTunes" RSS Feed is out of order

http://www.apple.com/itunes/myitunes/ says that the feed and widget is supposed to show my recent purchases. When I hook it up, it ends up showing stuff I bought last year, and not what I've bought in the past week!
Does anybody else have their feed working, or is it broken for everybody?

My advice is to send in feedback to the Apple iTunes team. That is a cop out answer but you have sent the e-mail to the wrong folks. If you send in a specific description of your problem to the feed back link you can be assured that it will get to the right people who will read it. Unfortunately, you will not get a response - but maybe we'll get a fix if enough people send in the form. Here's the link:

Help playing embed M4V from iTunes RSS feed

Hi there !
I'm having problems when playing embedded M4V files from iTunes RSS feed.
It works fine on Mac OS X but not on Windows. QT launchs correctly but nothing starts.
The code I use is simple but normally OK :
<embed src="URLOF_THE_M4V_FILE_PROVIDED_BY_ITUNESRSSFEED" width="XXX" height="XXX" autostart="true" />
Does anyone have the solution ?
I need assistance.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Olivier

Firstly, iTunes is using the feed at http://sermon.net/rss/davidwiley/main rather than the URL you quote, though the two do look to be identical.
You have introduced a fatal error into your feed. The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 1 December reads:
<itunes:summary>Audio working perfect!! - Elijah's name means YHVH IS GOD. Do you know who God is? Do we all worship the same god with different names? Are there many gods? 3 miracles in 3 years supply Elijah with the strength to face the coming showdown with Baal &a...</itunes:summary>
Because the entry has been truncated by the method you have used to create your feed the code your have presumably entered for an ampersand, &, has been clipped resulting in a stray ampersand. That is sufficient to render the entire feed unreadable. I would advise avoiding ampersands anyway, and using the word 'and' (it's also better grammar).
Correcting this should get your feed working again unless the same thing has happened further down. You are using the code " frequently - this isn't necessary, you can simply type the straight double quotes - " - without the need to code them (though this may be happening automatically).
As a result of this issue the feed shows with no episodes when subscribing in iTunes: the Store page is complete as it caches feeds - in fact it shows two later episodes than the one with the error, so possibly you've managed to introduce this at a later stage.

Parse RSS feed -System.out

Hi,
As below i have been reading RSS feeds.
When i execute the parser.parse(url) method i get a dump of the xml bones from the feed onto System.out, which in my case is a catalina log file.
Is there any way/method that im not aware of that can prevent this going to System.out?
public void readRSSDocument() throws Exception {
        //Create the parser
        RssParser parser = RssParserFactory.createDefault();
        //Parse our url
        Rss rss = parser.parse(
                new URL("http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_world.rss"));
    }output:

I am presuming that you picked up the code from [this tutorial|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/rss_utilities/]
Looks like the library was compiled with System.out.println() statements in it.
There is always the handy little method "System.setOut()" to redirect it.
Alternatively, decompile the code, delete/comment the System.out.println statements and then recompile it.
Its not that hard. Here's the offending class:

ITunes U courses listings out of order? Hegarty - Coding Together

Paul Hegarty's iTunes U course named "Coding Together - Apps for iPhone and iPad" lists its courses in a confusing order, it seems. (See image below). The number system is inconsistently applied and out of order, the dates are jumbled, etc.
How can I know what order to take the courses? (Believe me, I've tried to find the answer before posting this).

Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.

My itunes arranges some songs out of order. why?!

I' m having trouble with my Itunes and playlists. Also, some songs get cut off suddenly and stop playing. What can I do?

maybe your songs in the itunes are out of order (ps.2 4 5 1 3)
1>click the serial item of songs
2>the song are in order to 1.2.3.4.5
3>then sync the songs

ITunes TV Shows are out of order in iPhone tab.

I've been importing a TV Show Season from DVD into iTunes so I can watch the TV show on my iPhone at the gym. Everything works well, the TV shows are imported, I enter the meta-data for each show, title, episode #, etc.... When I look at my TV shows in the TV Shows tab in the side bar, they are all listed in order by episode number. Yet when I go to the iPhone tab in the sidebar, and the select the TV Shows tab to try and sync, all of the episodes are random and in no particular order at all. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I want to watch the seasons in order and now I have no way to do this? Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks

Just discovered your post, I made a similar post with the same problem, only concerning Podcasts and not TV Shows. I don't think you're being OCD about it at all. It's only logical to expect that if you can put the songs of a music album in a certain order and listen to them that way, that you should be able to do the same with a TV show or Podcast series.
Check to make sure all of the following are set:
Info tab: Track number
Video tab: Show, Season Number, Episode ID, Episode Number
The TV shows on my iPod are in the correct order, but the Podcasts are not. Unexpectedly, I think it may be the Track number from the info tab that keeps them in order. I just removed the track number from an episode and it went out of order.

ITunes is playing tracks out of order

With the new iTunes update all the tracks for my albums are out of order. This really poses a problem when playing Broadway soundtracks (I kind of like to hear the show in order).
Is there an easy fix for this?

I also have this problem when in album "grid" view. iTunes plays the songs totally out of orded, but NOT by shuffling. (I've made sure the "shuffle" function is turned off). The order it plays the songs is screwed up, but non-random. I.e it's the same everytime.
Just like the previous poster, I've also assigned numbers to each track title, and they're organized correctly in each album. It's just that iTunes seems to ignore the order of the songs, and jumps between albums.
This is NOT good for my OCD!

ITunes lists TV episodes out of order

Two parts to this question. The picture above lists episodes for the show "Steven Universe". On the highlighted episode, "Political Power" should be listed before "Full Disclosure" but as you can see it's backwards. Normally I know this would be an issue of the episode tags being mislabled but since it's technically "one" episode (two 11-minute shorts aired together), I'm confused as to why it's backwards.
Also, why are the top episodes (Season 2) listed as "No Season" ? Is it because I bought a season pass for them and the season is still technically airing?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

The iTunes Store isn't totally consistent when it comes to tag information, nor are the fields always set to give the best results possible in iTunes.
For your highlighted episode use Get Info to correct the title to reflect the order of the parts.
You can select all of the episodes of season 2, then use Get Info and set the season number to 2. This will cause the seasons to be listed in the correct order.

If the file you're editing has an ".html" extension, then this from TextEdit's +Help viewer+ may be relevant:
If you want to work with an existing HTML file, choose File > Open and select the file you want. Be sure to select “Ignore rich text commands.” When you save the file, it remains a “.html” file.
...And there are other places where important selections are made for HTML files:
In TextEdit's Save dialogue, select "HTML" from the +File Format+ menu.
In TextEdit's +Preferences > New Document+ tab, select +"Plain text"+.
In TextEdit's +Preferences > Open and Save+ tab, select +"Ignore rich text commands in HTML files"+.
XML is not HTML your last post is irrelevant you should know what you're talking about before providing recommendations.
Is this a late April Fools joke?
funky_ben,
You do not add XML data into an html file it should be inserted into an XML file look over the iTunes tech spec page provided unfortunately reading comprehension is required.

One File Out of Order in List View

Okay, this is driving me insane - it's probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but I just can't figure it out. I imported a 17 disc audio book to put on my mother's iPod for her, and for some reason one of the book's subfolders w/i the iTunes music folder is out of order when sorted by file name in list view in the Finder, as can be seen here:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-9/54100/FileListPic.jpg
When first imported, the default names of all the files began with "Don_T", except the problem one (Disc 14), which formatted itself more correctly as "Don't". Thinking that this might be causing the "disorder", I changed all the rest to "Don't" as well, but no dice - Disc 14 refused to move from b/w Discs 6 and 7. I couldn't see any extraneous spaces or strange characters, but to make sure I copied all but the number from the file name of another disc in the set and pasted it into 14's name, but still no change. I even tried fixing my permissions and restarting, just in case, but that didn't help either.
I'm sure this weirdness won't make a difference when loading the audio book onto the iPod, but it's making me nuts that I can't figure out how to get the stupid thing to move!
Any help to prevent my imminent cranial explosion would be much appreciated!
(Possibly) Relevant Info: G4 iMac running 10.3.9, iTunes library lives on an external FW drive, all discs imported w/ iTunes 6.0.2 as 128kbps MP3s
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Rss:PubDate gives too much info to iWeb Blog RSS feed

Hi All!
Blog pages are setup in iWeb, and I've got an external "bot" that subscribes to the RSS feed from the blog. I'm grabbing the feed and stripping the {rss:pubDate}, {rss:title} and {rss:description} fields from the feed to re-format for posting in a discussion forum. (Note: no copyright issues here, as I write the blog, publish the feed, and host/admin/moderate the forum.)
I'm wondering if the {rss:PubDate} field can be stripped down to include less information in the feed? It seems the PubDate is derived from the date and time of the blog post that's feeding it. ie: I enter 12/28/1993 in the blog entry "Date" field... the RSS feed comes out with the date I entered, AND the time of day and GMT offset the post was created. I don't need the time of day and GMT offset in my forum post headlines... is there any way to put less information into the {rss:PubDate} field via the blog entry page in iWeb? I'd like my {rss:PubDate} field to read "12/28/1993" instead of "12/28/1993 04:23:57 -0800"
Ideas?

Bonjour
For RSS feed, iWeb only use the URL you write in the Site Publishings settings. Make sure that you've written http://thesnugglycactus.net/ and not https://thesnugglycactus.net/
But I don't really think that you wrote https, otherwise RSS feed would not be your only issue.

The RSS feed

For some reason the AUR latest packages RSS feed is out of date.. on the site it looks fine but the rss2.php seems out of date.. is this a temporary problem? (the archlinux.org rss feed is fine though)

oh.. im wondering if its possible to change this for someone who has access to the php? lol.. please?

Songs Play Out of Order

When I try to play music through iTunes, the songs play out of order. It jumps around to random songs instead of playing a full album or artist in the order the songs appear on the screen. I do not have "shuffle" turned on. I don't know if this has anything to do with the little checkboxes next to the song name, but some are checked and others aren't, and I can't figure out how to control that either. Some tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

So I'm going to have to go into my playlists and enter in track numbers? WEAK! I've made playlists of audio recordings, etc., that were not on CD, so they have no track numbers, then just plugged in some graphics as "album art."
All because apple didn't forsee that some people would have made their own playlists and given it an "album art" graphic? That's a rather obvious thing, isn't it?

RSS Feed Lessons seem to be out of order.

Hi, I was having a simliar problem after updating to Windows 10 and it was really annoying me. I seemed to have fixed it by changing some settings in the compatibility section of the application properties. Here's how I did it:Right-click skype and go to properties. Click on the 'Compatibility' tab. Check the 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings'. Click 'Apply' and you're good to go! Hope this helps, Dan.

RSS Feed not validating "Undefined item element: itunes:order"

I've been trying to submit my RSS feed to iTunes but it won't validate. I hosted the podcast on Podomatic and used Feedburner to create the RSS feed. When I checked the link on FeedValidator it gives me the error Undefined item element: itunes:order. My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/mscmngrlpodcast. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm kind of a novice so I appreciate your help.

Your feed is fine [ the 'itunes:order' tag was introduced recently and Feedburner doesn't recognize it. Subscribing to your feed manually in iTunes works OK.
However you may have a problem with the media file. The Feedproxy URL redirects to
http://musicmongrelent.podomatic.com/enclosure/2014-04-03T22_02_00-07_00.mp3
Testing this for 'byte range requests' in Terminal suggests that the server does not accept this: it's the method iPhones use to download files, consisting of requesting part of the file at a time, rather than the whole thing, and as iPhones won't download properly if the server doesn't handle it Apple have made it mandatory. If the server indeede doesn't handle this your podcast will be rejected - you can try submitting and see what happens. If it's rejected you would need to find another server. If you are rejected and re-submit later you will have to change the title slightly, otherwise you will be told the feed has already been submitted (this is a bug in the process).
