Podcast episode not appeared

hey, does anyone know how long a new episode takes to appear once the new updated feed has been updated?
The new updated feed containing the new episode has passed the feed validator, so was just wondering that once you have the new updated feed, all you have to do is resubmit it into itunes? But itunes is saying the feed has already been submittted?
Here is the feed is anyone wants to check it out.

Am i doing anything wrong when uploading the new feed?
thanks, Ash

Thank you for taking time out and replying to my post.
What you described and stated in your reply was the reason why its was not working.
I have spent many hours trying to get it to work and wondering why it was not,
and following your valuable instructions, i can thankfully say that the problem has been solved.
so a massive thanks again,
your friend, Ash

Individual podcast episodes not appearing in iTunes but they're available to subscribers

Is there a way to resolve this problem? Just uploaded the second episode of my podcast. The podcast has an iTunes page and subscribers can download, but the individual episodes don't appear on the podcast's main page.
This is the rss link: http://spoilerpiece.libsyn.com/rss
And this is the link to the podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/spoilerpiece-theatre/id900473184?mt=2
I'm new to podcasting, so I've been reluctant to alter the feed on my own.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

Your feed has two episodes. The latest was released only today, so it's too soon to expect to see it in the Store. The Store should be showing the first episode but though it says '1 item' it's not showing it.
You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of 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 not updating correctly in iTunes

Hello,
I am having a problem with my podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes. The last 5 episodes I published appeared in iTunes at the bottom of the episode list, as if they were old episodes--i.e., they appear as if they were the first 5 episodes published. They also do not have a date assigned to them as the rest of the episodes do. They were not distributed to podcast subscribers, possibly because iTunes is not recognizing them as new episodes.
Here is my podcast feed: http://ic.instantcustomer.com/instantcasts/feed/podcast/5047174b90f14efe542431c2 674b1bd9
And here is the link to my podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-business-marketing-minute/id896451432
The problem began with last Wednesday's episode, which was Episode 30, and has continued ever since. I did not do anything differently when I published that episode than I did when I published the previous 29 episodes, and those updated just fine, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell (i.e., they appeared correctly on iTunes, and appeared as a new episode for me as a podcast subscriber). Also, after examining the rss feed, I could not see any difference between episodes 1-29 and episodes 30--34, at least as far as the way the feed was formatted. So, I have no idea what triggered the problem, and no idea how to fix it. If I can't resolve the issue then I think I'll have to abandon the podcast, since there's no point in publishing a podcast that doesn't distribute new episodes to subscribers.
If anyone can shed light on this problem for me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
-Kevin

As you say, in the Store the latest episodes don't show a publishing date. When subscribing in iTunes, none of the episodes show a publishing date, and they are listed in the order they appear in the feed.
In the feed, none of your episodes has a 'pubDate' tag, which is where iTunes gets the date from. Since most of the episodes in the Store have a date, it looks as if originally your episodes had this tag, but that five episodes back you did something in whatever method you are using to create your feed which removed these tags: the Store is presumably getting the dates from its cache since the episodes haven't changed, but obviously doesn't have the dates for the last 5 episodes.

After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

I had this problem with some podcasts immediately after updating to iOS 5. In order to resolve the issue, I did this:
1- Deleted/unsubscribed from all my podcasts.
2- Synced to my iPhone.
3- Resubscrubed to all my podcasts.
4- Downloaded all podcast episodes I wanted. (You could instead restore from a backup if some episodes are no longer available for download.)
5- Synced to my iPhone.

Latest episode of Podcast still not appearing in iTunes, after a 10 day wait

Hi folks,
So far four episodes from my feedburner feed have sucessfuly been published to itunes.
But the fifth episode, published on the 24th of August has not appeared in iTunes.
The feed is this:-
http://3dartdirect.com/feed/podcast/
The Feed validator service (feedvalidator.org) seemed to think it was a valid feed.
As an idea, should I delete the Wordpress post and re-create it, perhaps forcing iTunes to notice the refreshed feed?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Bussey

I think the problem lies in me using a Wordpress plugin called "Bulletproof Security". A similar problem was experienced by this user who also uses the blurbrry plugin:-
http://forum.blubrry.com/index.php?topic=3688.0
The support at my hosting company also received the 403 error and recognises that iTunes may have an issue with this security plugin.
This thead may be of help to other Wordpress users who have this plugin and are experiencing similar problems.
I've asked Apple to alter the podcast feed to a feedburner address instead (since I don't have any subscribers just yet). I figure that since the feedburner feed lies outside of my selfhosted Wordpress site, there shouldn't be any security issues.
Hopefully Apple will respond a second time!
Thanks again Roger.

New Podcast Episodes Not Updating if Not Subscribed

Hey there,
My podcast hasn't updated the latest two weekly podcast episodes if you haven't subscribed. If you have subscribed, the episodes are available for download. XML uploaded yesterday.
Here is my xml feed: https://s3.amazonaws.com/GraceHB_Downloads/Audio/Poderator.xml
Here is the iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/grace-lutheran-church-hb/id470693381
Thanks in advance for the help.
Lee

The 'title' tag for your 2 September episode reads
<title>Love Thy Neighbor</title>
The ode at the start isn't upsetting the iTunes application but it's upsetting FireFox when used as a feed reader and is flagged as an error by FeedValidator, so it's extremely likely that it's upsetting the Store and rendering the feed unreadable. You need to remove it.
The code appears to be for a linebreak and is, I read elsewhere, permissible in XML 1.1 but not 1.0 which is what you have specified: in any event, you don't want a linebreak and getting rid of it altogether will probably solve your problem.

Podcast episodes not showing up in iTS

We have recently changed our URL. We were able to successfully publish episode 4 with the redirect but for some reason episode 5 never showed up. episode6 is now up and we need these to show up in the store.
FEED URL:
http://www.texastribune.org/feeds/podcasts/the-tribcast/
subscriptions are updating just fine. Episode 5 was updated last week. I've manually pinged the server.

Firstly, to clarify the situation with iTunes. When you submit a podcast feed URL to iTunes it caches the feed (updating it periodically) and displays the contents in the Store page. When you click 'Subscribe', the Store directs the iTunes application to the feed - this is now a direct connection and doesn't involve the Store (you could say the Store acts as an agent). The same result can be obtained by subscribing manually from the 'Advanced' menu.
It's possible to get into a situation where the iTunes application can read a feed but the Store can't - often this is caused by a redirect script which the application and browsers can understand but the Store doesn't, so when people change the feed to one using this the subscriptions will update but the Store page stays with the cached version of the old feed.
Something like this may have happened here. Your feed URL is given as
http://www.texastribune.org/feeds/podcasts/the-tribcast/
The slash on the end of a URL usually means that what precedes it is a folder name, and that the file which is brought up is called index.html which browsers will display automatically in this situation. In your case, if one control-clicks on the URL and downloads the file you get a text file called the-tribcast.rss. This file is valid in itself -the actual XML seems to be OK - but if you open the URL in FireFox and choose 'Page Source' from the 'View' menu it displays the feed as pure text without colouring the tags (which it would normally do with an XML file).
If you open the downloaded feed in FireFox it displays the contents but warns 'This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it'.
All this means that although FireFox and the iTunes application are able to recognize the feed as a feed and parse it correctly, the iTunes Store isn't doing so. Possibly the incomplete URL is confusing it - do you have some sort of redirect in place which takes browsers to the actual file, but which the Store cannot understand? Otherwise possibly the server is telling the Store that the file is text, rather than XML, though normally in this case FeedValidator would pick this up, which it doesn't.
Whatever the cause, you now have a Catch-22 situation: the Store isn't reading your feed, and so isn't updating; and you cannot change the Store to a new feed because to do so requires it to be able to read the existing feed.
Unless you can modify the feed or the way the server presents it without affecting the URL which the Store is looking for you have two not very satisfactory options:
1. You can abandon this feed, and submit a completely new feed to the Store. You will need to change the name of the podcast slightly or you will be told it already exists. If you do this you should make sure that the feed URL is a complete one including the actual filename. It's probably better to use the extension .xml rather than .rss (although the latter should work).
2. You can get the Store to remove the feed and then resubmit with the same title. (You should still use a new and complete feed URL). The removal process is detailed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#removing
Expect the process to take some days. A previous poster with a similar problem was initially told just to use the 'block' tag but this is no good to you as iTunes isn't reading the feed, but he did eventually get a manual removal and if you don't you will need to pursue it.

Episode not appearing

Hi there,
I have uploaded an episode and it has not appeared. It is in Soundcloud, on Stitcher, and appears in my RSS feed.
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:102727605/sounds.rss
I previously uploaded an the same episode, but had to delete it to edit out a sound issue. I then uploaded it on Tuesday afternoon. It has not appeared.
Can you please let me know what the issue is? There have been so many issues with iTunes and my feed that it is very discouraging. Is there a best practices guide you can link me to, so I can make sure I am doing everything correctly.
Thanks for your help.

Your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/whats-your-story-podcast/id895290711?mt=2
Please always post this when you have a question.
You've fallen over a long-standing and intermittent bug in the Store where it claims to be showing the correct number of items but in fact isn't showing the latest one (though it claims to be showing 3 items), although all the episodes appear when subscribing. There isn't really anything you can do about this as the problem lies with the Store, not your feed; it usually sorts itself out in a few days.

Enhanced Podcasts images not appearing in iTunes

I'm using the host site Podbean.com to publish to iTunes. My enhanced podcasts (m4a) files appear on the host site (http://bias.podbean.com) just fine. But when I watch them on the iTunes host page (below) the images do not appear in the podcast while it plays. I have the cover photo but none of the photos in the enhanced podcast. When I originally sent it to iTunes from GarageBand it worked fine, (and still does in my playlist) but the feed available to my students (which is the whole point) doesn't come out right, thoughts?
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=310271037
feed://bias.podbean.com/feed/

iTunes does not show the images in enhanced podcasts when you simply play them from the Store page - don't ask me why. If you subscribe, then you will see the images, and this is the best way for your students to get your podcasts.
If you click the 'subscribe' button on the Store page, then you will see the podcast listed when you click on Library>Podcasts in the sidebar. Clicking on the disclosure triangle will show the list of episodes: the latest one will be downloaded automatically and you can click on 'Get' to download the earlier ones. All subsequent episodes will be downloaded automatically as soon as they are published (provided iTunes is running). When you play them you will see the images.

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.

New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
Thanks!
Mark Gillespie

The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

New episodes not appearing in iTunes

I have uploaded eight episodes total and only one is showing up in iTunes. I checked my feed on feedvalidator.org and the feed works fine. I also subscribed to the podcast and I am able to download all eight episodes but only the first episode shows up in iTunes on our podcast page. Since I am able to subscribe to the podcast and see all eight episodes I assume I am just waiting on iTunes to update my podcast page. Is that what is going on?
The podcast name is 'GQ on the law' and the website for the feed is http://gqonthelaw.podbean.com/
Any help you can offer is very much appreciated. Thanks!
Clint

Your iTunes Store page is at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/gq-on-the-law/id533007710
and the feed is at
http://gqonthelaw.podbean.com/feed/
(please always post these when you have a question to save detective work). The feed seems to be OK - I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting until the Steore catches up. It usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear, but the Store (which caches the feeds and visits them periodically to checkfor updates) may check for feed which haven't been updated for some time less frequently - it's two months since the previous episode wasa published. It should update eventually.

New episodes not appearing in iTunes store

Arrogant - typed this in once and lost it!
Anyway - for some reason the iTunes store hasn't updated to reflect two new podcast episodes. It seems the feed hasn't been checked by the store for over 2 weeks now. The new podcasts are there - you can find them on a computer in iTunes if you're a subscriber, but not from the store or from an iOS device.
We produce the feed on the latest version of Feeder by Reinvented software, on a Mac running Lion.
The feed is at http://www.sundayreplay.com/iTunes/exeter-vineyard-church-messages.xml
And our iTunes store artist entry is Exeter Vineyard Church Messages
I thought maybe there was a maximum number of entries, so I removed some of the older ones from the xml feed, but that hasn't made any difference and the deleted podcasts are still showing on the store.
If anyone can shed any light on why this is happening I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks

I'm having the same issue.
I have had zero issues with iTunes picking up my rss feed for 60 items and now suddenly item 61 is still not being read a 6 full days after posting. (It normally shows up within hours)
I use a gooey app to generate my own feed and host it on my server
http://www.speakeasytokyo.net/downtobusinessenglish.xml
I have checked to see if it validates and it does.
I have gone through the feed and compared it to past items in the feed and do not see anything different.
This is my iTunes url
http://itunes.apple.com/jp/podcast/down-to-business-english-business/id366265697 ?l=en
And this is the missing episode title:
D2B 057 | RFID Chips
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Podcasts do not appear in Podcast App

When i sync the podcasts to my ipod they appear under the 'on my ipod' tab on the sync screen. However they do not appear in the podcasts app on the ipod, How if i search the name of the podcast on the ipod, and it finds them and plays them throught the music app. Any explanations? PS i reset the ipod to factory settings and after reinstalling everything it re-occurred.

The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
- connecting the iPad to your Mac
- selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
- selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

Downloaded podcasts did not appear in the download window and I cannot delete them

I have downloaded some podcasts onto my IPad using ITunes and they do not appear in the download window so I cannot delete them, any suggestions on what I should do to delete them?

Hi Meg, I could not find the music app but your suggestion prompted me to take a look at the video app and the podcasts were in there and I was able to delete them...phew...thank you very much!
