New Podcast Not Showing Up In Searches

I received approval for a new video podcast form the iTunes store about two weeks ago, but the show still does not show up on searches in the itunes store.
The link to the podcast works fine, but it doesn't seem to exist when searched. Anyone have any insight? Any clues how to resolve?
This is the email I received:
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/DrBrown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=264538009
If you have questions or wish to make changes to your feed, please consult the technical spec at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html. The spec contains detailed information about key topics like adding "cover art", changing your feed URL, and adding other helpful iTunes-specific tags to your podcast.
There is also an Apple Discussions Forum exlcusively for podcast producers, located here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1107. If you have a question or a problem that the technical spec cannot answer, the community of iTunes podcasters may be able to provide valuable guidance.
Sincerely,
The iTunes Store Team

I'm gonna have to go with "epontius' postulate of unfound podcasts" on this one, my friend. (Look at the last post in the linked thread.) You are but one further confirmation of the hypothesis.
What this means to you is: it is becoming more evident that podcasts with only one episode are not searchable in the iTMS . . . and you only have one podcast in your feed. Update your feed, put up another 'cast, and I bet that your podcast will become searchable a few days afterward.

Podcasts not showing up from search

Hi, I logged in today on iTunes and noticed that our podcasts are no longer showing up on iTunes Store. I tried doing a search on 'fowler' and 'fowlerinc' and couldn't find anything. I checked the XML file and didn't find any errors, so I was wondering what I need to do to get our podcast to show again.
Thanks.

The podcast is not available in the iTunes Store. FeedValidator says the feed is valid but comments 'Feeds should not be served with the "application/octet-stream" media type' - a remark I can't comment on. They have an explanatory page:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnexpectedContentType.html
The feed downloads OK and looks to be OK, but possibly there is something going on on your server which is choking iTunes. I can only suggest contacting iTunes Support:

New podcasts not showing up in iTunes

http://rototalk.com/?feed=podcast
My feed had been working fine in iTunes until I uploaded a new episode yesterday. However, this new episode (#8) is not appearing in iTunes (or stitcher for that matter, which I was just approved for yesterday).
Feed Validator is also saying my feed is now invalid, although I didn't change anything. It was fine 2 days ago. My new podcast episodes ARE showing up in Pocket Casts, the podcast player that I use on my iPhone. Not sure what is going on.
BTW, I use wordpress and PowerPress to post my podcasts
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your iTunes Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/rosterdoc-fantasy-football/id689353108
The latest episode showing there is that of 25th August. The feed has two further episodes, of 28th and 29th August, and they show when subscribing.
There is nothing wrong with the feed: the 'errors' in FeedValidator aren't significant, or even errors. 'itunes:order' is a newly introduced tag which is valid but it doesn't recognize; and it doesn't understand RawVoice. This isn't any sort of problem.
It's quite usual for the Store to take 1-2 days, sometimes more, to show new episodes as it caches the feeds and visits them in some sort of rotation to check for updates. Since the earlier of the two 'missing' episodes was posted only yesterday, 28 hours ago, it's not abnormal for it not to show yet. It's just a question of waiting.

Adding new podcasts - not showing up in iTunes music store

Is there some sort of manual process that must be undertaken when you add a new podcast to your site, to get it to show up in itms?
I successfully added my podcast series (had two of them ready to go) and submitted to ITMS. They accepted it, and it shows up just fine there. But after adding a third episode last night, it still only shows two episodes this morning.
Is there something more I must do?
Jim

OK, I got it to work by running the feed through
feedvalidator and fixing all the errors. The wierd
thing is that the xml file was created by a program
called RSSBuddy, so it shouldn't have been messed up.
Interesting. I suspect that the XML parser used by the iTunes Store is fussier than the iTunes software itself!
I guess I need to find a new program for editing the
RSS feed. Any recommendations?
If you're on a Mac then Podcast Maker is a great choice. For Windows there's a product made by Feed4All.
Cheers,
Greg.

My podcast not showing up in searches, Any Ideas?

When you search our podcast "The Media Brothers" in the mobile Itunes app, it pulls up these podcasts that are not even closely related. Any Ideas on how to get it to search correctly?

Searching in the iTunes Store on a Mac brings up various podcasts, of which this is the fourth:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/media-brothers-podcast-podcast/id677699096
Of course I don't know that this is indeed yours, but assuming it is at least it's showing up, though why it doesn't turn up as first I have no idea. I'm afraid the Store's search algorithms are completely opaque and there doesn't appear to be anything you can do about it.

Podcast not showing up when searching the store

We can access the podcast by click the following link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=392970034
But are unable to search the store to get it, is there something i missed?

This is all a bit odd: there are two separate podcasts called 'Joypod'.
Yours is at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/joypod/id392970034
and the feed is at http://spong.com/joypod/subscribe.xml
The other is at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/joypod/id264454455
and the feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/xLhw
This isn't supposed to be possible: usually if you submit a podcast with a title which has already been submitted it will be rejected (even if the other has failed submission or been removed), so how you've managed to achieve this I can't imagine.
Searching on 'Joypod' brings up search results including the other podcast but not yours. It usually takes some days after a podcast has newly appeared in the Store before it appears in the search results; but I can't say whether yours will appear eventually in addition to the other one, or whether the name duplication will block yours from appearing.

I download songs from a CD but they do not show up in Search or list

In iTunes 11 (yes, the new iTunes *****), I download the songs from a CD and they do not show up in Search, under Songs, under Artist, etc. The songs show up the next day, however. All I can think of is that Apple is uploading my songs and won't show them in iTunes until they have done so. I would hope not, but I have checked all my settings and cannot find anything else that might be going on.

Well, I think I found the answer to my own question. Usually when I do a search, the songs show up in a list as I type. However, with a new song, I have to actually hit the return key to have it show up. Later, like the next day, it will show up automatically as I type, but songs new to iTunes don't.

i made a free website using iweb and my host is dropbox but it is not showing in every search engine,i have to use a proxy for my site to pop up

Possibly because dropbox is not really a proper webhost - it might be better if you went and signed up for proper web hosting from somewhere like http://www.godaddy.com or http://www.hostexcellence.com.
Have you told Google that you site exists? If not, then you need to do so - http://www.google.com/addurl.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Podcast not showing up in itunes search after 1 week

i submitted my podcast with one episode and it was accepted on 17 july. i am able to get to it in the itunes store by using the url as provided in the email.
iTunes Store Welcome
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260194221
i have put an icon with that url in my blog (meterdown.wordpress.com) and that works fine. people are taken to the podcast in the itunes store and can subscribe.
however when i search the store, my podcast is not turning up either by podcast name (meter down) or by author/artist name (kabi) or by keyword (taxi, bombay, hindi).
I can ping using the podcast ID (id=nnn) and it returns the podcast feed url (http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown) and the podcast ID.
it doesn't list an episode however. is it supposed to?
my main question is "why am i not showing up in the search?"
is there something wrong in my xml? I host at switchpod and run it thru feedburner and I use the feedburner feed.
i have read and read the forums here, feedburner, podcast alley and also am emailing switchpod support. still can't figure it out.
thanks

ssukotto,
Thanks for the information. What you mention is boilerplate that is automatically sent when a new podcast is approved. I also quoted it like scripture before diving deeper into researching this issue.
The research into this problem suggests that there is a minimum number of podcasts in order to be included in the search index (or at least the search results) whether it's undocumented or unintentional.
Case in point, Meter Down posted his first complaint that his podcast hadn't shown up in the search even after a week (far outside the 24-48 hours you mention and that is documented)..that was a week ago. A total of at least two weeks that his podcast could not be found by searching by the exact title. His podcast showed up search within a day after adding his second episode (yesterday).
Jerry Pine posted July 17 that his podcast "Everything Algae" had been approved July 13 but couldn't be found by searching...even by name. July 28th, he added a second episode as a test...and his podcast became searchable.
There are several others who went for days or weeks without being listed in search results by even searching for their exact podcast title...common trait between all of them was that they only had one episode. They added a second episode and within the day they show up in search results.
There are others that had newly submitted podcasts whose podcasts showed up within the 24-48 hours timeframe...but they had at least two episodes.
I'm just providing the facts...could be coincidence that they just happened to be searchable just after posting a second episode.
I'd invite you to read through and share with the iTunes podcast developers the several thread from various people who have reported problems with having a searchable podcasts and draw your own conclusions.

New episodes not showing up in iTunes

I have added a new episode (item) to my feed and pinged iTunes and the new episode will not show up. The feed was validated and is in the proper format.
When people subscribe, the episode is available and workign fine.
Any way idea on how to get the episode to show up in the listing?
http://advisor.morningstar.com/rssdata/xml/getchoatepodcastdata.xml

Yeah. I checked on this yesterday and it seems to be broken still. I've starred at the code for quite a while and for the life of me can't see what's wrong.
My only other theories are:
1) it for whatever reason doesn't like the formating, no line breaks, just one long string...which in theory shouldn't make a difference...but this is Apple we're dealing with so who knows.
2) doing a search for Morningstar, brings up several podcasts...the one we're dealing with here "Morningstar Advisor" and another similarly named "MorningstarAdvisor". Both seem to have different content. Not sure if iTunes might be confused into thinking that this is a duplicate feed and is no longer updating it.

Podcasts not showing up as podcasts

My podcasts do not show up under Podcasts on my Ipod. They only show up for a brief time under Playlists/Recently Added. They also do not show up if I use the search function on my Ipod. How do I get podcasts to show up as podcasts? Also, I have already marked all as new.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
5th gen video iPod. on a Macbook Pro. iTunes 7.3.2. iPod 1.2.1
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

Keywords for my Podcast not working right in Search Podcast

I'm wondering if any other podcasters are having problems with the "search podcast" feature not finding your updated keywords? I've changed the keywords using Smartcast in Feedburner but the new keywords never seem to get any hits for my podcast in the search mode. In fact, only a couple of them work. Yet, at Odeo and other places, the updated keywords show up. Any suggestions on what to do or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi Scott. There is a good summary at
http://phobos.apple.com/static/iTunesRSS.html
All the tags are explained there. (But they do not explain that the search tag does not work - at least I've never been able to search on the keywords I put in our feed. But search does work on the other tag I mentioned. But you do not want to just load that with keywords, since that's what will display in the ITMS!)
Hope this is helpful.

New users not showing up while trying to set folder permission settings

Server 2012
This is a new virtual domain server and file server in a starwind cluster, I just started migrating users last week.
This last weekend (two days ago) the cluster crashed while doing windows updates on this server. I have been unable to get it to download any updates since without crashing, not sure if that is related to this issue somehow.
I added some new users today and got them all logged in and their data transferred over. good. But then I went to this shared folder that everyone has a mapped drive too and tried to add them in the security tab of a sub folder but their accounts will not show
up when I search for them. Any account I added previously to last weekend show up, students, mine, etc.
even if I select the exact OU the accounts are located in, even if I type their whole name and domain. In AD the accounts are there.
If I log into the backup domain controller Their accounts show up there while in a folder security settings tab. They are listed in active directory on both domain controllers.
I have exhausted myself on Google search.
What the heck did I break?
Maybe I should run
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Not sure if I will lose any data doing that or what the repercussions would be..

Hi Dustin,
If the DC is having USN rollback issue, we can resolve it by demote then re-promote or restore the DC using a supported method such as using System State backup to restore.
