My older podcast episodes are missing on iTunes.

Just noticed last week that my nine oldest podcast episodes are no longer on itunes. They're alive and well on my blog page so I'm nor sure what happened. Did I reach some magical quota on iTunes? I have no clue how to resubmit or do any of that stuff. Thanks for any help!

iTunes imposes no limit (at least up to 300). Many podcast creation programs or services limit the number of episodes in the feed, removing older ones when this limit is reached. There is usually a setting to increase this number.
However there might be other reasons; but it's not really possible to comment unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'.  Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

  • My podcast Episodes are missing!

    hi,
    I have a podcast on itunes and just published 5 new episodes. So, there should be a total of 9 episodes; however, my 4 previous episodes are gone.
    here is the link to my podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bharatanatyam-podcast/id547089247
    I am using iweb to publish my podcast. On my iweb website (http://www.kiruparatneswaran.com/Laya_Bhava_Dance_Academy/Bharatanatyam_PodCast/ Bharatanatyam_PodCast.html), it shows that there are 9 episodes.

    For references your feed is at
    http://www.kiruparatneswaran.com/Laya_Bhava_Dance_Academy/Bharatanatyam_PodCast/ rss.xml
    This feed contains the same 5 episodes you are seeing in the Store. In common with many podcast creation services or programs, iWeb limits the number of episodes in the feed - the default in iWeb is five. As more episodes are added older episodes are moved to an archive page and removed from the feed.
    You can increase the number of episodes in the feed to a maximum of 50:
    Increase the number where shown and re-publish the feed. Subscribers will see the extra episodes immediately but the Store will take a couple of days or so to catch up.
    When you get to 50 episodes the same thing will happen and in iWeb you can't increase it (the Store allows up to 300 episodes).

  • 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...

  • My podcast episodes went missing

    Hi there,
    I started my podcast on Jan. 9th. I've had 6 episodes go live so far, including one that went out this morning. The address to my show is here; https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gay-business-marketing-made/id590805999
    Today when I went in all of my episodes are missing. I don't know why or how it happened. They are still working on my website and they're all still hosted correctly.
    Does anyone know why this would happen and how I can get them back up?
    Thanks!
    Jenn

    iTunes is using the feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/gaybusinessandmarketing
    This feed has no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of playable media: iTunes does not display episodes which have no playable media. Since you had it working you've evidently done something wrong in WordPress which has stopped it being a proper podcast feed; or possibly you've managed to point Feedburner at the wrong feed - the blog feed rather than the podcast feed. There is no clue in your web page as to the feed - the only link is to http://feeds.feedburner.com/JennTGrace which appears to be identical and again has no 'enclosure' tags.
    I'm afraid I can't advise on WordPress - you will need to work out what it was you did originally.

  • 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.

  • Tried loading the latest version of itunes but the download would not complete. Now when I connect my phone to a usb i get an error stating required files are missing, reinstall itunes. I tried that but the reinstall keeps timing out?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Error msg iTunes cannot run files are missing - reinstall itunes

    I keep getting a message when i try to open iTunes 9 telling me to re-install. When I do, large portions of my music files are missing from iTunes on laptop. They are on my iPhone 3G, because I synced them from iTunes before it crashed. How do I get them to sync back into iTunes from the iPhone?

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

  • 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.

  • Podcast episodes are not showing up in iTunes

    My podcast “Dimsum Mandarin” was submitted to iTunes on Aug 4, and all was well until these two weeks. Episode 8 was uploaded on Sep 4, but have yet to show up in the feed, as can be seen in the screen cap attached. A new episode 9 was also uploaded on Sep 11, and have not showed up so far either.
    The feed is burned through feedburner at http://feeds.feedburner.com/DimsumMandarin-LearnMandarinChinese.
    Subscriptions still seem to work though.
    It would be greatly appreciated if any kind soul could point me in the right direction to solve this issue.
    Thanks lots!

    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!

  • Podcast Episodes are shown multiple times in itunes

    http://t.co/SE40IZgdBh
    iTunes shows podcast episodes on my iPhone multiple times. In the App on the phone it is shown correctly.
    Can you help me?

    It seems that many people have this problem if you Google it.  My wife has the snag on her iPod Touch 4, whereas mine is fine (well, it was, last time I checked.)  Regrettably, though the problem seems common, what I cannot find is any acknowledgement by Apple, let alone any advice, or, God forbid, a fix!

  • After iCloud backup restore, how can I prevent Podcasts from constantly trying (and failing) to download podcast episodes no longer in iTunes store?

    I recently turned my iPhone in to a Genius bar and had it repaired under the iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program. Congruent to that repair, I had to do a factory reset (contetn and settings). Once I got it back, I restored from iCloud backup. When I re-opened the podcats app, it began to redownload all old episodes I had on the iPhone before.
    Of these many podcasts, 5 episodes were from 2 defunct podcasts no longer on the iTunes store. It gets download errors on these episodes. I can get it to stop retrying (and failing). I have tried canceling the downloads. I have tried deleting the episodes (and the podcasts). I have tried deleting them then canceling the downloads. I have tried marking them as played and canceling the downloads. I cannot get them to be purged from the catalog and not try to redownload.
    Outside of someone with access to the iCloud backend who can remove the associations, I don't know if anyone here can help me. But I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks.
    (also perhaps of relevance, the period between the wipe and restore included the release of the 2.0 app )

    Hello DonaldGuy,
    It sounds like you have some podcast subscriptions that are constantly trying to download but they are not in the iTunes Store anymore prompting an error message. You can use the edit button in the susbcriptions list to delete the subscribed podcasts in question, to prevent the error messages from happening:
    Podcasts at a glance
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphbaeb5b5cb
    Then I would backup to iCloud to update the most current iCloud backup to reflect this:
    Back up to iCloud
    If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your data if you've chosen this option. You can verify your iCloud backup and make sure that it's up to date by following these steps:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Turn on iCloud Backup if it's off.
    Tap Back Up Now.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Our Podcast Icon is missing from iTunes - please help

    Our podcast icon is missing from our Feed. Please can someone help us figure out what could be causing this.
    Here is the URL to our Podcast Image
    Here is the link to our Original Source Feed:
    PODCAST: http://www.modtvnetwork.com/podcasts/modtv/modtv_podcast.xml
    Here is the link to our Feedburner Feed:
    feed://feeds.feedburner.com/modtv/podcast
    Please can someone be in touch to let me know.

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed, is the correct dimensions and within the 500kB file size limit, so you've done your part correctly.
    The iTunes Store can be flaky about images: it's not that unusual for a new image to take quite a long time to appear, or for an existing one to disappear for a time. I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about it except wait for the Store to get its act together.
    You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you are likely to get a form response telling you how to provide an image, which you already know.

  • Season pass- some episodes are missing

    I subscribed to a season pass for Lipstick Jungle however episodes 3 and 4 are missing. If I try to download again iTunes says that I have already purchased them. How can i get them without paying again?

    like that wasn't enough, now I have 4 more TV episodes missing...Three of them I didn't get the chance to watch yet -.- and I had bought an album of songs and now all but one have gone missing...I just have the best luck...

  • Songs that I have purchased are missing in iTunes (file not found/exclmation point), and do not show up in the iTunes Store for download.

    I have a laptop that has (or had) pretty much all of my music, both burned from CDs and downloaded from iTunes. My 17 year old son on occasion syncs his iPhone and iPad with this laptop. As of the last sync (as best I can determine), many songs that I purchased in the past few years are now missing, in that they have an exclamation point to the left of the song title, and when I try to play the song, I get an error message that says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found" or something to that effect. As it turns out, the file seems to be erased. This has happened multiple times, and I could be wrong, but I believe that there are some songs that had the exclmation point last time he synced that now don't, and vice-versa. There is not an obvious correlation or grouping as to why these songs are missing (e.g,. they were not all purchased on the same date, not all songs from one artist are missing, etc.).
    Since most of these songs have been purchased through iTunes through my account, my reaction was to go to the iTunes store, log in with my account, and re-download them. Problem is, all of these songs instead ask me to purchase the song, instead of displaying a "cloud" logo. Therefore, it appears that I have to re-purchase these songs, which does not sound correct.
    Questions: Does anyone know, most importantly (to get an immediate fix):
    1. How can I re-download these songs and why doesn't iTunes Store recognize that I have already purchased them?
    and perhaps as important (more of a long-term question):
    2. Why does this happen and how can I prevent this from happening again (since it has happened multiple times)?
    Thanks.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

    I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.
    Starting with the registry settings message.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
