Podcast already submitted problem

On Feb 19, 09, I got the approved podcast email from iTunes.
See below:
Dear Podcast Owner

Your podcast will be searchable within the iTunes Store in approximately 1-2 days.
If you have other questions or wish to change your podcast, 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" and changing your feed URL.
After adding a new episode, update your feed in the fastest possible manner with the ping service by visiting this URL:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=305682384

Then 3 hours later, I got another email from "[email protected]. This email was letting me know that the Podcast has not been included in the podcast directory.
See below:
Dear Podcast Owner
The following podcast has not been included in the iTunes podcast directory.
Name: djarity's Podcast
Feed URL: http://djarity.podOmatic.com/rss2.xml
Submissions may not be included in the directory for a variety of reasons. For more information, please see the podcast technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.
Sincerely,
The iTunes Store Team
I tried to contact them and they keep telling me to re-submit the podcast RSS but when I do, I keep getting This podcast has already been submitted. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Al

Apple lists the following possible reasons for rejection:
* Technical problems, usually the lack of episodes or the inability to download or play episodes. These problems can almost always be avoided by testing your feed using Subscribe to Podcast in the Advanced menu prior to submission.
* Requirement of a login or password to access the feed or any of the episodes.
* Strong prevalence of sexual content.
* Use of explicit language in the title or description of the podcast.
* Use of explicit language in the podcast when the <explicit> tag is not set to "yes".
* Apparent misuse of copyrighted material or other violation of third party rights.
* Inclusion of offensive material, such as racist content or child ***********.
* Misrepresentational use of Apple copyright, including "iPod" and "iTunes."
Looking at your feed, it seems possible that they are concerned about copyright: if you have not obtained permissions from the copyright owners or a licence from a recognized licensing authority then your podcast might very well be in breach of copyright and this would be sufficient reason for it to be rejected.

Podcast already submitted, but never shows up

http://www.returntothepit.com/itunes.xml
that is the feed. I submitted it probably 5 years ago maybe more and it has never shown up.
When I try to add it again, it says it was already submitted and I never see any info on it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just emailed podcast at apple dot com... let's see if that gets me anything.

Podcast already submitted?

Hi,
The feed for my podcast has apparently already been submitted although no one has access to the feed except me. Is there anyway of tracking the feed to see what it's been submitted as on iTunes?
This is incredibly frustrating as I can't find the name of the podcast etc. so I can't link people to the podcast on itunes.
Any help would be fantastic, thank you. :)`

Okay, I've been having the exact problem after hitting the dreaded "Report a Concern" button.
The advice I got was to go back into your RSS XML file and physically change a couple of lines temporarily to fool iTunes short term.
iTunes apparently has "safeguards" to prevent duplicate submissions.
so... go into your code and change the line, <title>your cast name <title> just put in anything between the <title's>
Then - change the line that reads, <link> http://whatever.libsyn.com <link> -change it to a bogus address.
Then after a day or so, change the code back to what it originally was before you messed it up with the report a concern incident.
iTunes by that time will attempt to re-parse and realize there was no duplicate submission. So, after you correct your code back to its original, and either ping iTunes or wait for it to make its regular cycle, your submission should be valid and iTunes should recognize your re-submission and list the podcast.
However, I do not know how to access my bloody RSS file in the Libsyn interface to make the changes - anyone know how I can get to my code?
I'm just passing on this possible solution - if it's wrong please correct me, I haven't been able to prove it yet.

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error. How can I get the podcast on iTunes?

You didn't need to get it removed: you can make any changes to a feed that you want, changing, adding or deleting episodes, and iTunes will pick them up.
However, in the present situation you have fallen over a bug in the submissions process. The workaround is changing the title; as this hasn't worked you need to change the feed URL if possible, and also you could change the contents of the 'link' tag.
If you can't get it sorted you could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to reinstate you (give them all the details) - their responses are a bit variable, but they may help you.

I tried to submit my podcast but showed difficulty in downloading and later showed already submitted please help!

If your podcast was submitted but rejected for any reason then the automated part of the submissions process will give you that error despite the rejection - I assume it's a bug. The workaround is to change the title slightly.
But if they had difficulty downloading (what? - the feed, or the episodes - didn't they say) then you have a technical problem you need to address. Obviously I can't advise any further unless you care to post your feed URL.

How do I change the name of a podcast once submitted to itunes??

how do I change the name of a podcast once submitted to itunes??
anyone know? I submitted my first podcast, then changed the name in feedburner. The new name is appearing once you are in the podcast window of my itunes, but not in the itunes store catalog. how do I fix?

Here's what iTunes Podcaster help says:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
Troubleshooting Your Feed
iTunes should update your listing at least once every 24 hours. If you made changes more than 24 hours ago that are not yet reflected in your iTunes listing, there is a good chance that your feed has broken. When iTunes encounters a broken feed, it ignores the feed and continues to display the old data.
Here is a set of recommended steps to fix your feed:
Ping your feed to make sure iTunes has attempted to update your feed recently.
Review the technical spec, particularly the example feed, to ensure that every detail of your podcast’s feed is supported by iTunes.
Use a feed validation service like www.feedvalidator.org to check for particular problems. This may be helpful in determining a specific problem with syntax.
If you used a software- or online-based feed creation service, check to ensure your settings there are correct and iTunes-compliant.
Subscribe to the feed in iTunes to see if it works. Open iTunes, go to the Advanced menu, choose "Subscribe to podcast..." and enter your feed’s URL.
Hope this helps - Podcaster's discussion board might have more answers:

Error ERR-3331 This page was already submitted and can not be re-submitted.

Our application has been in production for several years... we upgraded last fall to 3.0 (10g). Periodically in the past users would get this error message "Error ERR-3331 This page was already submitted and can not be re-submitted." but in the past week it has been occuring after every 5-8 page loads. Our application has a couple dozen tabs and if I click from one tab to another (same level), after the 5-8 clicks, I get this error. I am not doing anything on any of the pages, and there are no auto-submits.
Since this has just started happening consistently (previous errors were related to users using the back key, this time it is not), I wonder if there is any known reason as to what might cause this to occur (application server setting change? etc?) Or is there a particular type of item on the page (LOVs?) that would make this more likely to occur on some pages than others.

Hmmm... it probably isn't possible to grant outside access to the system, but...
Does anyone know if it is "possible" that this could occur if one page is still loading when the user clicks on a new tab and attempts to load a new page before the first is loaded? And, is there a setting/page option that I can set to immediately cancel the load of a page when a user tries to load a new page before it's finished?
I wonder because I can only make the error happen this morning when I click very quickly between tabs (yesterday when more users were online, I didn't have to click fast to make it happen).

Will apps be rejected that are already submited for 2.1?

Are there any special procedures for this transitions? If an app is already submitted on wednesday say, and today all phones are upgraded to 2.1. Will the app automatically be rejected and you are required to use the newer SDK?

There is no reason for them to reject apps just because they were built for 2.0. Obviously they will still work in 99% of the cases, otherwise all of the apps already in the store would be broken for everyone that upgraded their firmware. Also, n app does not need to be built for OS 2.1 to take advantage of the bug fixes in the 2.1 firmware.

Podcasts show as already submitted

I recently had 3 podcasts removed from your iTunes store because I am changing the feed and, since I can't edit or change the source code on the prior feed (at Mevio), I had to have them canceled/removed, with the intent to resubmit them.
All three podcasts...
1. Podcast for Dummys
2. Gracie Sez Hai
3. Topical Vacation
...were removed as requested. As of early yesterday there are no traces of the show or any episodes when doing a search on any of them.
When attempting to submit the new podcast RSS feeds for any of the three, I get the message "podcast appears to already have been submitted" (to paraphrase). I understand that this is because it recognizes the title information in the podcast as being the same as what I previously had, however, again, those podcasts have been removed, so they should not be showing as having already been submitted.
Additionally, I could understand if perhaps these new feeds were already being reviewed - thus the message above - however, I have not received any email notifying me that this is the case. I know that were one to be sent, I should receive it, as another podcast I just submitted (which hadn't had a previous incarnation on iTunes) went through the submission, notification and acceptance process with no problems.
At this point, what is keeping me from being able to submit these feeds if the previous podcasts have been removed? Do I have to wait for some time to be able to submit them or have they already been submitted with their new feed successfully? Who would I contact to find out?
Thank you. I'm happy to answer any questions in order to sort this out.

It doesn't say anything about "Other iTunes Store Features" but it does have "iTunes U & Podcasts". However, in whatever way I get to the Express Lane, it keeps on asking for an order number (presumably from the store), and won't let me continue.
For now I guess I'll have to try just changing the name and hope I can change it back. Until I can get a hold of someone at Apple, anyway.
Thanks Roger!

Problem : Feed Already Submitted

Ok so I submited a podcast and it said something was wrong with the RSS code and didnt accept it no email notification...nothing.
Revised the code perfectly tried to submit again and it comes up with "this feed has already been submited"
how can i fix this?

Ok so I did something someone said in another thread (change title and link) and it worked. The only problem is they came up in their own podcast sections and not in my main podcast.
I got this email from Itunes:
Changing Your Feed URL
Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one location to another. In this case, you should not remove your feed. If possible, you should set your web server to return a 301 error and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so will cause both the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes clients that have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL. Be sure to maintain the redirect for at least two weeks to ensure that most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent episode and have thereby received the new URL.
If you don't know how to return an HTTP 301, you can use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section of the spec. The tag will cause the iTunes music store to be updated with the new feed URL, and customers using iTunes 6.0.2 or later will be informed of the change. You may choose to include an audio note in your podcast, informing your subscribers that your podcast has changed locations. After adding the tag, be sure to keep your feed running at the old URL for at least 48 hours.
Now can someone explain that to me since Im really a n00b

Feed already submitted message on a new podcast feed?!?

Hi all,
I successfully submitted a podcast last year - here's the feed
http://www.carlturner.net/media/Podcasts/feeds/podcast01.xml
Come to submit a second podcast based on the code of the first feed
http://www.carlturner.net/media/Podcasts/feeds/podcast02.xml
Validated it - checked it downloaded to itunes but came to submit it and got the message 'It appears the feed has already been submitted'
How can this be? I know it's always something simple but I can't seem to suss this one. Any helpers?
Cheers

It's because the second podcast has the same name as the earlier one. If you change the title slightly in some way it will probably be accepted - you can change the title back when it has been.

Itunes keeps saying my podcast was already submitted

the host website for my podcast went down while (or before) itunes approved it. i tried resubmitting the podcast and it says the feed has already been submitted. i tried changing the title and link fields in the podcast, and itunes STILL says it's already been submitted. any help?

"Down" as in permanently and doesn't exist anymore or "down" as in down for a night for maintenance and is now back up?
If it's down for good...I'm assuming that the URL to your podcast has changed as well? you might try changing the name of the xml file as well...
