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.

How to upload podcasts which are not in the iTunes podcast library?

or how to create a playlist of podcasts?
I have some podcasts as mp3 files I'd like to upload. These podcasts are not in the Itunes podcast library. I downloaded them from another source. What I do not understand is why iTunes makes a difference between podcast mp3 files and music mp3 files. If I put my podcasts into a playlist and try to synchronise the playlist with iPhone, the files are not uploaded. Actually I do not see the playlist listed in the page "Music" of my device "iPhone".
Any ideas?

I've usually found using outer joins to be very efficient in performing NOT IN/NOT EXIST type operations.
WITH t1 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 1 begin_no, 10 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 10 begin_no, 20 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 20 begin_no, 30 end_no FROM dual
   , t2 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 21 no FROM dual
SELECT t2.*
FROM t2
     , t1
WHERE t1.type (+)= t2.type
   AND t2.no BETWEEN t1.begin_no(+) AND t1.end_no(+)
   AND t1.type IS NULL;
output is:
TYPE     NO

200     6
200     5

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.

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!

I'm sure this question can get rather old, but I do have my XML file properly updated, but my recent episodes are not displaying on iTunes. Any suggestions?

The XML file for my show can be found here...
http://www.lockepick.com/podcast/lockepod/lockepod.xml
Things have been fine for the fist few weeks but my last two episodes have not updated - also, my iTunes link does not even seem to open so I am wondering if the address listed on iTunes may be broken. Any dieas or clues as to anything I can do?

Your iTunes Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/lockepod/id714711048
and is working OK. However the Store hasn't updated since episode 6; when subscribing, episodes 7 and 8 do show, so the feed is OK. Normally it takes a couple of days or so for new episodes to show in the Store, but sometimes it 'sticks' and doesn't update for some time. I'm afraid you've got caught by this and there isn't really anything you can do about it except wait for it to sort itself out.

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.

One of my podcast episodes is not listed on iTunes services

Hola Apple Folk,
I started a podcast last year, originally on my own personal Wordpress site then moved all the content to a new website. I reposted old episodes to my new site and removed them from my old site then updated my feed. For months, all of my episodes appeared on the iTunes store, Podcasts app, and other apps like Stitcher. Just recently I've noticed that my very first episode is now no longer available in any format, even though nothing was changed in the post and the url still verifies. What's the most likely reason that a single episode might go missing from these platforms?

Thanks!

There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights.

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.

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

Recent podcasts of podcasts I subscribe to are not downloading when iTunes is opened

recent podcasts of podcasts I subscribe to are not downloading when iTunes is opened or Touch sync is attempted.

Presumably, you normally open iTunes and let it automatically check for new epsiodes. (The frequency with which it does this can be changed, see below.) Have you allowed it time to think about checking? My iTunes is set to check only once a day.
First of all, make sure that the Settings for Podcast downloads are still set the way you want. (Settings have been known to change - especially after iTunes updates). Look in Library/Podcasts/Settings (which is at the bottom of the Podcasts window) and makes sure that Check for new episodes: is not set to "manually" and that When new episodes are available is not set to to "do nothing".
If those settings are okay, make sure that your iTunes can still access the internet. (Can you get the the iTunes Store front page?) If other programmes can access the internet, but iTunes cannot, check that your firewall will allow iTunes access.
Let us know how you get on.

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2
Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 / Intel-i7 2.40 GHz / 8GB RAM / 64-bit
iTunes 11.3.1.2
After refreshing my Podcast list, some Podcasts with new episodes do not display the "Unplayed" blue dot.
If the podcast "folder" is expanded by clicking the triangle, the new episodes are shown with a "Unplayed" blue dot.
A new episode is shown in the My Podcast view, with the correct number of new episodes.
The new episodes are displayed in the All Unplayed view.
I've tried deleting all episodes and downloading new episodes from the iTunes Store.
I've tried Unsubscribing and deleting the podcast, then Subscribing again from the iTunes Store.
Neither attempt resolved the issue.
I've seen this issue for a while, and was disappointed to find no change with the iTunes 11.3.1.2 update.

it finally worked; got my Rush 24/7 downloaded, and it finally found my iPhone after switching from the USB 4 port Hub to a dedicated USB 2.0 slot on my laptop.

Podcast Album Artwork not showing in iTunes Store.

Every website and application with the exception of the iTunes store shows the album artwork for our podcast. What could be causing this? The artwork is of valid format and is 600x600 which was recommended by the application and a few tutorials. However, when you search our podcast in the iTunes store, it shows the default "Podcast" artwork. I would post what the podcast details are, but I'm not sure of the rules against it.

The artwork shown in iTunes Store comes from the tag 'itunes:image' which must be in the podcast descriptor area (not attached to any specific episode/enclosure). Try testing the URL you include in that tag from a generic location such as a library or internet cafe to ensure the URL is visible to the rest of the Internet.

Why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

why is the Good Wife latest episode still not available on Itunes Canada?

FYI, the two episodes currently missing from iTunes Canada (Nov 17 "The Next Month" and Nov 24 "Whack-a-Mole") are available online for Global TV "subscribers":
http://www.globaltv.com/thegoodwife/
None of us are realy "Global TV subscribers", we are customers of one TV service provider or another, aka cable and satellite companies. Alas, I am in the situation where my service provider - Bell TV - has apparently not yet reached an agreement with Global, so I am hooped twice. I paid iTunes for a season pass that seems to have stopped delvering content. And I pay Bell TV for content which Global says I can only get in online form once Global and Bell reach some kind of agreement, although Shaw, Telus and Cogeco subscribers are already receiving it.
https://www.globaltv.com/signin/
Be nice if these companies could get their acts together, especially Apple iTunes.
I've paid them $49.99 for the Good Wife season pass.

Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. What's the fastest way to say it to the iTunes-newbie?

Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. Is this the shortest way? “Open iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store and search for my podcast. You’ll see it at the top of the results. When you click on it, you’ll see “Write a Review” and will be able to submit your comments and ratings.” Right now they find my podcast because they are on my mailing list, not through iTunes. It would be easy if I could just say, "Go to iTunes.com" or "Go to my web site" - but there are sooooo many steps! Help! Thank you,
Milana

There is another trick - if you give them this URL:
itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RecurringRevenueRevolutionPodcast
(note itpc not http)
it will subscribe them directly to your feed in iTunes, but it does depend on their having iTunes installed (and in Windows set as the application to use with 'itpc'), otherwise they will get an error message, so it's a slightly double-edged weapon. You could them the link and say 'subscribe in iTunes' as an alternative to the iTunes Store page.
