Podcast feed in iTunes Store hasn't updated since January!

Hi,
Our podcast feed which we have been running for over a year now stopped updating in iTunes Store and is still showing the latest podcast as Jan 2013 even though we put out 3 new episodes a week. If you are subscribed it works but people keep reporting to us about the iTS being months behind and it is bothering my employer.
Our server was running slow and I have since fixed the problem and it made no difference.
I reported a problem with the feed in iTunes and it made no difference.
I relocated the feed to another server using a different system and url which is much faster using 301 redirect and placed all files on a high speed cdn but this has made no difference either... Also updated images too.
I reported the problem again to iTunes and nothing changed.
Help I need to get this sorted as I don't know what else to do!!!!! We can't start a new one as we have too many subscribers.
iTS page: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=564972472
Old feed URL (301 redirect): http://nexuschurch.com.au/podcast-feed/feed.php
New feed URL: http://www.nexuschurch.com.au/podcast.rss
Thanks,
Seth

Your Store page lists 68 episodes running from 12 Jan 1012 to 19 Jan 2013. Clicking on the 'Subscribe' button brings up the feed at
http://www.nexuschurch.com.au/podcasts.rss
This feed has 15 episodes running from February 3 to 11 March this year. The old feed URL you give successfully redirects to the feed now in use in a browser, and evidently also when subscribing in iTunes; but it looks as if it is not working in the Store page. The correct method for redirecting a feed involves placing a special tag in the original feed and is outlined here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
According to Apple's own documentation a 301 redirect should work in the Store, but it looks as if for some reason it isn't.
All I can suggest is that you place a copy of the feed at the old URL, adding the redirect link as described in my page, and remove the 301. This should move the Store to the present feed - it will probably take a couple of days or so to catch up.
If for some reason you are unable to set up the feed at the old URL you can try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to move the Store - give them the Store page URL and both feed URLs.

Trouble getting podcast feed in iTunes store

I am unable to submit a podcast. Apple states that "it appears the feed has already been submitted" but it is a new url and has not been previously submitted. It had been previously submitted under a different url, but there was a problem with the xml, which has since been corrected. I am at a loss. The url for the feed is http://podcasts.elsevierhealth.com/apmr/itunes-apmr_rss.xml

My feeds are updating but the iTunes store has not updated

I put my rss feed up on feedburner and all my feeds have updated but the iTunes store has not updated. I was wondering if there a simple explanation for it. Subscribers to the podcast have gotten the most recent update but the store hasn't reflected the new changes.

When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
All this assumes that you haven't made an error of some sort in adding your episode: it's not possible to comment on that 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.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Podcasting, iWeb and iTunes Store?

I'm transferring my Rapidweaver site to iWeb because RW screws up the feed xml so that iTunes Store will not read it and update my podcast episodes.
Anyway I just wanted to know (I already have my Podcast registered with iTunes Store) when I add a new podcast to iWeb each week do I have to go File > Submit podcast to iTunes every time (ie; each week when I create a new podcast) ?
Also I noticed the feed RW produces is feed://www.domainname.com/podcasts_files/podcast.xml and iWeb produces feed://www.domainname.com/podcasts_files/rss.xml (ie:same name except ends with rss.xml instead of podcast.xml). Given that I have already registered my Podcast with iTunes how will this change of feed name effect it?
Thanks

When people subscribe to your RW podcast then they will notice after a while that there are no new podcasts anymore.
So you either have to delete your current podcast from iTunes (Read the manual how to do that) and/or add a new podcast.
There is no need for the iTunes Store to subscribe to a podcast. Just entering (Click on the RSS icon) the new rss feed in iTunes is enough.

The podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage

I am the owner of a podcast named Sidetalk. Since lat month, the podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage, and even show the owner as UNKNOWN.
Could you fix it? Or let me know how to modify the information.
Many Thanks.
Sincerely,
swpave
Sidetalk podcast link on iTunes Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/sidetalk-jiao-liu-dao/id354935053?mt=2
Sidetalk Podcast RSS feed:
http://myaudiocast.appspot.com/user/swpave/rss/
Sidetalk Podcast homepage
http://www.myaudiocast.com/swpave/

The feed URL you give redirects to
http://www.myaudiocast.com/swpave/rss/
Although episodes up to 1 November show when subscribing the feed comes up empty when examined in FireFox, and FeedValidator complains of a problem in line 28 - it's in the space after the comma (or possibly before it) here -
知識」，也就是高等教育。
Please see the FeedValidator report at
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myaudiocast.com%2Fsw pave%2Frss%2F+
I can't see what this might be - perhaps you managed to get a word processing invisible code character into it: I can only suggest you delete that section and retype it.
It's odd that it's appearing when subscribing but not in FireFox, but it does seem likely that this is blocking the Store from updating.

Still having issues with my podcast feed in iTunes

I am still having issues with my podcast feed. The podcast is not updating in iTunes yet I can see some of the new episodes through an alternative RSS.
My podcast feed is
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SosChurchStockholm.
Not sure what I am doign wrong.
Thankful for any help in this regard.
Thanks

I'm afraid I can't give you an easy answer. The Store has not updated since the episode of 10th November, but the later episodes appear when subscribing and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the feed.
The Store does appear to go through sticky patches sometimes and take a long time to update some podcasts; it will probably catech up eventually and I'm afraid that there isn't really much you can do about it. You could try emailing Support ad podcasts 'at' apple.com, but I suspect you will get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know).

How do I delete my podcast from the itunes store?

I submitted a podcast to iTunes, but have since deleted the account on the website I was using to host the podcast. Whenever I try to use the report a concern option to delete the podcast from the iTunes store, it tells me to go to the RSS feed and change it, but I cannot do this since I have deleted the account to the website where I would change the RSS feed. What should I do?

Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to remove the podcast, explaining that you cannot access the feed. In any case, as I assume the feed is no longer accessible by iTunes, the podcast will get removed eventually anyway.

Why can't I see my podcast in the iTunes store

When I click on the link provided by Apple I see my podcast in the iTunes store, but when I just try to drill down to it through the iTunes menus I can't find it. I've noticed that there seems to be a maximum of five pages of podcasts for each category. Does this mean that there are other podcasts out there that you just can't get to without doing a search or something?

Run Software update from the Apple menu or update yrou signature (it shows 10.8.2).
What country store?

How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

How do I put an image on my podcast in the itunes store?

The image which appears in the Store page is referenced in the 'itunes:image' tag in the feed. As you are probably using a program or an online service to create your podcast, rather than hand-writing the feed, you will need to look in their Help to find out where you input the image or the reference to it.

I wanted to publish a chinese(simplified) podcast in chinese iTunes store.

Hello.
I have a problem for publish a podcast program.
I'm a korean, and use korean based windows7.
I wanted to publish a chinese(simplified) podcast in chinese iTunes store.
But, chinese simplified character is crushed in iTunes.
How can I apply chinese simplified to iTunes podcast?
Thank you.

I don't know much about non-English usage, but I've seen podcast in Chinese and Arabic, so it's perfectly possible: however though the contents of tags such as 'title', 'summary' and 'subtitle' can be in Chinese, the actual tags forming the feed must be in English and follow the format set out in the example feed in this page (which you may also foind helpful for basic information):

If you are still having problems please post the URL of your feed.

My podcast still loads on the podcast app, but i cannot find the podcast in the itunes store

My 200 plus episodes are on my already subscribed podcast app and they load there fine, but when i try to find the podcast in the iTunes store,it is gone. I tried to reload my RSS feed to itunes, but it says that feed is already loaded. I recently added a new RSS feed for another show and where posting the same shows in both. I have one as the network where i post many different shows, but also have one of those shows on its own RSS feed so people could subscribe to just that show as well. The one thats missing is Wild Jones Podcast Network, the one that shows is Sativa Sports Talk.

For your feed - http://wildjones.com/rss
It is valid - but missing the iTunes category - that should not be why it went missing - that said - in your libsyn account for that show - go to "Destinations" and then click on "Edit" for Libsyn Classic Feed - and add in the iTunes category on that page and click save. You should also enter the other info while on that page as well.
That said - the reason why your show was removed from iTunes is that you have profanity in the show description.
You can not have any profanity in the show title / description or the episode title or description. Apple has a bot that removes the shows if there is profanity - and there are 3 F-bombs in your shows feed. You will need to remove all of them - and any other profanity - once that is done - then contact me - ************* - and let me know and I will help you get back into iTunes

I can find my Podcast in the Itunes store but not in the Podcast list.

If I search for my podcast in the Itunes store it shows up. So, I click subscribe, and everything looks like its working. When I check the Podcast section of my library I don't see it. The link to my podcast is http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=358348024. The feed is http://www.rodsotr.com/RODSOTR/Podcast/rss.xml. I'm hoping the issue is just with the itunes on my computer. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rod

It works perfectly well for me: I can't suggest why it isn't for you. When you click the 'Subscribe' link in the Store page you should see a 'Downloads' item appear in the sidebar below 'Purchased' showing the progress of downloading the top episode, and above all that in the top section of the sidebar under 'Podcasts' you should see the podcast.
If you don't: try going to the 'Advanced' menu, choosing 'Subscribe to podcast' and entering the URL of your feed and see what happens.

TS1424 I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone to iOS 7.

Hi there, could someone help me here please - I can't open the iTune store after I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7. The problem occurred about 5 days later after the upgrade. There are no error messages. As I tap on the icon it opens just for a fraction of a moment and then goes off and back to the main screen. Other apps are working just fine. I tried following the troubleshooting steps as suggested by apple support, but that didn't help unfortunately...
Thank you
