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).

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 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.

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.

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...

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!

My recent podcast episodes are not getting updated on my iTunes page.

My podcast which hosts on Podomatic (http://mandate.podomatic.com/) has not been updating on iTunes for my last few episodes. Usually it takes a few hours or even a day, but its been weeks since iTunes updated my last episodes. I'm not too sure what the problem or issue is. My iTunes page is (https://itunes.apple.com/en/podcast/mandate-connates-podcast/id657296232?mt=2)
Currently there are at least 3 episodes missing that are up on Podomatic but not showing on iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Hi mandateconnate,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you tried to publish a podcast but it is taking a while to show up.

Note: The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand, it may take a week or two before your podcast is added.

With 5.1 new podcast episodes are not shown automatically, no red badge

Since the update to 5.1 on my Apple TV 2 new episodes of my favorite podcasts are not shown automatically. There is no red badge with the number of
new episodes.
When I open up the podcast I see the new episodes marked as new. After opening the podcast manually and go back to the overview, there is the red badge with the number of new episodes.
Someone else with this bug?

Yes, it's a known problem with the 5.1 update.

My new podcast episodes are not showing up on the main page

my podcast page hasn't updated in 2 weeks even though i've been adding new episodes to my feed:
http://www.cofc.edu/~hiottm/RSS.XML
When i click SUBSCRIBE, i see the newest episodes there, so iTunes is reading my feed correctly, but why aren't they showing up on the main page?
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=200063590
Does anyone know if there is a LIMIT to how many will show up on that main page? I have 45 being displayed, but my feed has 59 separate items. I've not read anything that indicates there is a limit.
any help would be appreciated!!

I have exactly the same problem with the feed from my podcast at
http://angus_sessions.podOmatic.com/rss2.xml
My other podcast downloads fine.
The same problem is experience in iTunes on both my Mac and PC so it appears to be aniTunes issue, particularly since Juice has no problem updating using the same rss feed.
It would be great if the iTunes team would comment.

I purchased a season of a tv show, now the first two episodes are missing?

I purchased the fifth season of Breaking Bad from iTunes, and now the first two episodes that used to be there are gone? What happened?

You need to download the videos while still still connected to the internet. Once you are on the plane, you no longer have an internet connection and consequently cannot access the servers to get the files.

Missing Podcast Episodes

Hi
On our Podcast page the first four episodes are missing. We have 25 total episodes but only 20 are showing. Please help.
http://therizzoliandislespodcast.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

The URL you give for the feed redirects to
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheRizzoliAndIslesPodcast
and this is the feed iTunes is using.
Your Store page is at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-rizzoli-and-isles-podcast/id481430382
There are 24 episodes in the feed, in the Store, and visible when subscribing, so I can see no missing episodes.

Why are podcast episode titles not displaying properly.

I publish the "Twilight Guitar" podcast on iTunes, Sticher and other platforms.
My feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/twilightguitarpodcasts
I use Wordpress and feedburner to publish without problems elsewhere. But when subscribing to my podcast using the new "Podcasts" app I noticed that all of the titles of the various episodes are displaying improperly. The titles are fine in the catalog, but after subscribing, the app appears to be pulling the titles from random img tags within the feed.
In other words, my podcast episodes are actually image filenames.
Anyone seeing this elsewhere? Any ideas about how to address/fix it or at least troubleshoot it?
Thanks in advance.

Just to note, and i didn't notice thread before but i have the same issue and just raised a thread too
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4531716?tstart=0
I am starting to notice more & more people getting this issue now

Half podcast episodes missing

Only half of my podcast episodes are turning up in iTunes - I think this is because Feedburner isn't picking up on them (http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePilgrimsPodcast). I may be past some maximum information limit. Is there some way to either filter my blog feed to only include posts with podcast audio (like, instead of plugging in the website's URL - plug in the URL for a blogger label)? Or should I figure out another hosting service?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pilgrims-podcast/id942105067?mt=2

Your feed has seven episodes with playable media, and these show in iTunes (episodes 7 to 13). It also has numerous episodes which have no playable media, and these are not shown in iTunes. There are 25 episodes in all.
The feed has been originally constructed in Blogger, and if you were expecting to see older episodes in it, it's likely that Blogger is limiting you to 25 episodes shown in the feed, older ones being moved to an archive page and out of the feed - something that many services do.
Of course if you are going to mix weblog and podcast episodes in the same feed then this sort of thing is going to happen. Neither Feedburner nor Blogger can detect the difference. It's better to keep the podcast episodes in their own separate feed. However there may be a setting in Blogger to allow you to include more episodes. The iTunes Store doesn't impose a limit until you get to 301.

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.
