Podcast episodes won't download in iTunes app (but works fine on desktop)

Hi, I can't figure this out:
Our podcast episodes simply won't download in the iTunes app on iPhone. The download simply stops at 10.3 kB (or sometimes at another value), without really getting started at all.
This is very odd, since downloads are working fine in iTunes on the desktop, and in other apps on the phone (such as Instacast).
Here's the iTunes-page for the podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/no/podcast/filmfrelst/id303539607?l=nb
And here's the RSS feed URL:
http://montages.no/filmfrelst_files/rss.php
(The podcast is called "Filmfrelst", and is searchable in the iTunes app)
Any clues?

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of.  It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

  • New Podcast Episodes won't download

    I subscribe to a lot of NPR podcasts and this week the new episodes won't download. When I hit refresh at the bottom right corner nothing downloads but when I go to the iTunes store there are new episodes. I can get them there by hitting the "get episode" button, but why won't the new episodes in the itunes Store automatically download? anyone else having this problem? any suggestions?

    Are you sure you have actually clicked on the "Subscribe" button rather than just downloading individual episodes?
    Are the episodes listed in iTunes but not downloading, or are they just not listed at all?

  • Podcast episodes won't update in iTunes since July - Please help!

    I've had a podcast posted in iTunes since May and everything has worked fine up until a month ago. It's showing that the last episode update was on 7/27, when we've posted three new videos since then. Subscribers do receive the new videos, but the "About" page is still missing episodes that were posted over a month ago.
    We've changed nothing about the feed format, and all other podcast services are posting info correctly (ie., podcastpup, podcast alley, etc.). I've pinged the feed after every update and contacted tech support with no feedback. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The first thing to check when having trouble is to validate your feed with the feed validator at http://www.feedvalidator.org . You have problems with the length of two of your entries. You (or your software) added the phrase " bytes" after the number for the size of the enclosure. Remove the space and the word bytes so there is just a number between the quotes, and try it again. Make sure you update the pubDate for the channel so that the iTunes server will re-process the feed. Good luck, hope this helps. Mike

  • HT1926 I have a Google Nexus tablet, I downloaded the itunes app  but it won't let me open it.  Any ideas what my problem could be?

    I have. Google Nexus tablet and after I download the iTunes, I cannot open it to use it; any ideas?

    There's nothing different, unsual or unreasonable about that. Any computer programme has to be written for the operating system of the device you want to use it on.
    I am puzzled though...

  • Update downloads fail, initial app installs work fine, Windows 8.1, internet connection and firewall settings fine

    I just installed the CS6/CC applications I use without any issue. I then was prompted to install various updates. All the updates failed and the message says the downloads failed. I checked my internet and firewall settings and they are fine. I the was able to install a different CC application I hadn't installed before. That process worked fine so I retried all the updates. They all failed again and for the same reason. I have even tried a cold system reboot. Nothing works. I am really baffled.
    Has anyone run into this and, if so, were you able to figure it out.

  • Podcast episodes won't download correctly

    I have submitted a podcast to iTunes, they approved it, and now I'm trying to download it to my iPod touch via the Podcasts app. I try to play it but it says there's no length to it, and it says "Playback failed". So I go to the feed (http://thisurlisoccupied.3owl.com/podcast/feed.xml), and find that when making the edit, the urls to the audio files were wrong. So I change it to the correct url. It's now working when I subscribe to the podcast going to the "Advanced" Menu in iTunes, then click "Subscibe to Podcast..."
    When I go to the iTunes store, and try to download what I think should be the updated feed. No difference. Now, is this because I have to wait for iTunes to acknowledge the change, or is there something wrong with my server or feed?

    It normally takes a couple of days or so for the Store to see changes: as there are thousands of feeds it caches them and checks them periodically for updates. As it's working OK when you subscribe then you can expect the Store to update in a day or two.

  • My iPad mini won't download or update apps, but my phone will with the same Apple ID

    My iPad is only 1 day old. When I set it up I synced it with my iCloud backup for my phone but the apps wouldn't download. They started to but then they said waiting and would go back to the start over and over again. Then I plugged it into my computer and synced it with iTunes but I want to download apps for my iPad but I can't. And every time I search for an app in the App Store it loads for ages then says cannot connect to iTunes. Someone please help,
    I also just tried signing out of the App Store, resetting my iPad then signing back in and no luck.

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Attachment won't open on one iPhone, but works fine on the other. Why?

    2 iPhones with the same iOS version receive 1 email with an attachment from an Outlook user: one iPhone can open the attachment, the other can't (it only shows as winmail.dat). Why is this and how can I get it to open? Thanks!

    He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
    I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
    The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
    I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
    The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

  • Magic Mouse won't right click on files, but works fine otherwise. 10.6.8

    My Magic mouse just suddenly seemd to stop right clicking on files. I can right click on blank sapces in finder or on the desktop and it gives me the usual drop down menu but as soon as I try and right click or ctrl+click on a file there's just nothing. Can't seem to find any similar problems on google. Any ideas?

    Hi, yes. The right click would work at start-up until I click on 'always allow' for permissions for google drive, then it dissappears
    Unfortunately I found no other workaround other than to switch to the other views (although I strongly dislike working in the other views). But I just use Drive in my internet browser when I do use it, so it's okay for me to uninstall it. Maybe it's something to contact google about so they can fix it on there side.

  • Problem with address bar: won't execute typed in URL but works fine with bookmark address or links

    Address Bar: Typing in URL and cannot access page (nothing happens hitting <enter>). Using bookmarks or links works just fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • My apps won't download to my iPad but will to my phone. When I put it my password, it just stops and won't do anything else????

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • 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.
