Podcast feed not updating for weeks

Hi there,
I recently have fixed the errors that occured in our feed for the Chonilla.com (podcast and blog) I use wordpress powerpress by blubrry.
Our itunes address is http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=374975394
Our feed url: http://www.chonilla.com/?feed=podcast
I have had a few of our subscribers showing some concerns that they are unable to get the latest episodes which is from 77 to 83. Your site currently only shows from 0001 to 0076.
I need some assistance and was wondering if there was anything the amazing MAC team can help us?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Peace and Chonilla love!

I'm afraid I can't be of much help. Your feed appears to be OK, and on subscribing all the episodes are visible. However the Store, which caches the feed, hasn't read it since episode 76. I can't see anything to suggest why this should be; the only thing I noticed which might be relevant is that the feed is slow to load, so I suppose it's possible that the Store isn't giving it long enough to respond and deciding that it's not there. That's a guess; I would have though they would have allowed a longer timeout, but I don't know whether that's the problem. The feed is a bit messy in places, but there doesn't seem to be anything different in the episodes from 77 onwards.
You could try asking iTunes Support - they often aren't as helpful as one would wish (they have a tendency to send stanadard answersor refer you back here) but it's worth trying. 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 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options.

  • Some items for podcast feed not updating on itunes

    Hey guys,
    Here is my podcast feed at podbean and itunes
    http://theflyslip.podbean.com/feed/
    http://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/theflyslip/id509869184
    1)And here are my questions. I've updated my channel title as 'Armchair Critics' but its not updated on itunes or when I check it from my iphone 4s
    2)When I'm on my iphone and search for my podcast and go to the page it allows me to download individual podcasts it shows the titles of the podcast correctly
    eg Armchair Critics - Ep 4x2 - blah blah blah
    While Downloading the first time on my iphone it shows like this, but as soon as I DL the 2nd one the title goes to being
    1 - the text after Ep 4x2, why is it dropping the Armchair Critics - Ep 4x2? I want it to show like that after downloading and viewing on my music app also(formerly iPod i think didnt have an iphone before the 4s)
    3)When viewing the source of my feed I notice that for my first posts the title tags are showing as
    <title>Armchair Critics - Ep1&#215;1 - Dilshan and Captaincy</title>
    it should be something like
    <title>Armchair Critics - Ep4×2 - Thirimanne and Indians</title>
    with 4x2, is this some sort of syntax issue, and why does it work for the latest ones and not the old ones?
    4)I recently updated my image, its still not updated on itunes or when I check from my iphone, is it cuz the feed needs time to update on itunes?
    5)And in general, when I make a change to the feed, how long does it take for itunes to pick up the change.
    5a)Does the change happen on itunes automatically?
    5b)Do I manually need to update anything? IF so how and where?
    6)Also, it I wanna add more itunes tags in future like for changing date/duration etc..how do and where do I do it?

    Thanks alot for your reply Roger.
    I will reply with comments to my questions based on your reply
    1) The title has sorted it self now on the store but not the image, looks like it has gone to some sort of default podcast image. Is it still updating? I've subscribed on a PC, what does subscribing do exactly ? I thought it would start downloading the podcasts, but nothing happened and I had to manually DL them. Again no image...
    2) The text getting cut off before the x,  eg 4x2 blah blah becoming 2 blah blah on iphone.
    Some background - I added the feed to itunes last  week. Did not look at it until yesterday. And all my titles for the podcast had the 2x1 , 2x2 in them from the start - from when I created the episodes in podbean. I only started updating yesterday (again on podbean) cuz it was not showing up ok on the iPhone. SO should it not have worked from the start ? Or am I missing somehting?
    Do you think the html code for multiplication is causing it to cut off the text before the x ?
    4) As stated above the image is still not visible to me on itunes after subscribing on a PC. What image do you see by the way ? It should be this?
    http://www.uh.edu/uhdistance/frieden/image12.gif
    5 & 6) How do you re-upload the feed ? Since I made the update to the image, do I need to re-upload it to make it work? Is that why its not showing up still ?
    Again thanks for the help. Definitely helpful mate.

  • Podcast feed not updating

    I have had a podcast posting once a week for the last month. All of a sudden this week's post hasn't updated either on my podcast app on my phone -- which in the past has updated immediately -- or on the iTunes site. Nothing appears to be different with this latest post (2.7.13) compared to the others. Not sure what is going on. Can any of you help?
    Here's the feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/InsideTheBearcatsPodcast
    Here's the podcast page: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-bearcats-podcast/id593189545

    Hi Roger-
    new to this forum. Not even sure I am posting in the right spot? first of all thank you...seems you are helping alot of folks like me navigate the waters around here! i just have a quick question as a newbie... (story) i have been submitting podcast to another entity for free and getting a great response. have over 22,500 fb friends for the show and i am told about 10thousand a month dowloading podcast? my problem is that this other entity is not very good with getting my shows up in a timely manner and is keeping all ad revenue. this year i have decided to host my own etc. they have my old shows in archive on itunes and that's fine, but i have now created my own account...with the same show name, but instead of their company name it now includes my name (the host) as the secondary by line. MY question is that i just set up everything (by the book/letter) as far as i can tell to host my own account on itunes. i am now in the two week waiting period as of today.
    1) am i going to have to wait two weeks for each show?
    2) will i beable to add the rest of my archive podcasts? for some reason it only allowed me to upload one?
    3) and will i only recieve my feed Id that apple is to provide ONCE they approve the first podcsast?
    THANKS FOR THE HELP and sorry if ALL or any of this sounds like "rookie" questioning.

  • ITunes podcast feed not updating

    My podcast feed was broken in January. It is now working again, but iTunes is not picking it up. Do I have to do something to re-start it and get it working again?
    When I go to iTunes and find my podcast, it shows all the most recent podcasts up until late January (and none of the recent ones). (please note I have two podcasts which appear identical - one is mp3 and one is m4a feed...I plan to delete the m4a feed asap)
    Interestingly, when I subscribe to the feed in the iTunes store,it shows only then ONE most recent podcast (which doesn't even appear in the list as described in the previous paragraph).
    The feed address is: http://www.wilymanager.com/feed/podcast/?wpmfeedkey=1;292f771b94206b1dd91b4a301f 03c5d6
    Would greatly appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Sue

    The feed you link to is entitled 'Wily Manager MP3 Feed'. Searching on 'Wily Manager' in the Store brings up two podcasts, both called only 'Wily Manager'.
    The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351213931 is looking for a feed at:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/mp3
    The one at http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/wily-manager/id351231957 is looking for a feed at:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/wilymanager/m4a
    There is no feed at either of these addresses: basically you've been updating a feed at the wrong address. Since iTunes cannot find a feed in either case it cannot update the Store page, and subscribing produces an error.
    I don't know how you've got to the feed with the complex URL but it's not being used by iTunes. You need to be able to go back to having a feed at the URL I give above.

  • Podcast feed not updating after 72 hours

    Usually it takes my podcast about 24 hours to update the episodes within iTunes.
    I submitted episode 83 on Sunday and have yet to see it appear in the store. Subscribers are able to download the episode, so I am not really sure what the issue is. I believe my RSS is ok, but I have included it here: http://www.smartpeoplepodcast.com/?feed=podcast
    Thanks!
    Jon

    The feed seems to be OK, and episode 83 appears when subscribing. It's not unusual for the Store to be a bit slow sometimes: I would expect your episode to appear eventually.

  • Podcast feed not updating correctly in iTunes Music Store

    Hi. I doubt anyone is able to help with this question, but this is where Apple "support" directed me...
    I've created a podcast feed:
    http://wwf.org.au/podcasts/rss
    I've registered it with the iTunes Store:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=168761907
    We added a new item to the feed yesterday and it is not appearing in the iTunes Store feed. Subscribing to the feed manually (that is using the feed from our website) works fine, correctly showing the three items. But the iTunes Store feed only shows two items.
    I clicked the "Report a concern" link in iTunes but it went 404 (resource not found).
    If anyone can shed any light on why this might be happening, and more importantly how I might be able to fix it, that would be much appreciated.

  • Podcast feed not updating, Podcast feed not updating

    Hi,
    For a few months my podcast hasn't been updating on iTunes.  I can't re-submit the feed as it says it already exists. What do I do?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It's not really possible to comment 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.

  • Podcast feed not updating since Nov 10

    Since Nov 10 I have posted 7 new podcasts.
    They are showing up here:
    www.nlmnorth.com/podcasts/podcast.php
    But not in the iTunes store or Podcast app.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/newlife-ministries/id288969603
    Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I think I've been updating it as I always have. Unless I've accidentally missed something.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    The Store is looking for a feed at
    http://www.nlmnorth.com/podcasts/podcasts.php
    however there is no file at this address. Consequently it's showing a cached version of the last time it was able to read the feed. You have been updating a feed at

  • Podcast Feed not updating subscribers

    hi guys , i produce the man on the post football podcast and everything was runnign fine with itunes for 46 episodes untill i and lots of subscribers started getting the 8006 error , the feed for my show is http://manonthepostpodcast.podbean.com/feed/ having run this through Feed Validator it is showing as a vaild feed , people are able to manually download the new podcasts by searching for us in the store and downloading one ep at a time but for some reason the old subscribers arent getting the new shows when they refresh there podcasts  , i have contacted Podbean regarding this issue and they have been less than useless , basically telling me that everything is fine and there isnt a problem.
    any ideas on what i can do now ?

    I was unable to connect to the feed in iTunes, though I could read it in a browser and it validates in FeedValidator. The only explanation I can suggest is that somehow the Podbean server is not responding properly to requests specifically from iTunes, though it's OK with requests from a browser. I'm afraid only Podbean can help you with this - you should ask them to try subscribing themselves, and to observer the server logs resulting from this.

  • Our RSS Feeds for our Podcasts have not updated in iTunes since October

    We have three Podcasts established with iTunes. All three stopped showing updates on the iTunes website at the end of October in spite of the fact that we update them weekly. I have run them through a feed validator and everything appears to be fine.

    There is no obvious reason why this should be happening. The November episodes show OK when subscibing and the feeds look OK. Sometimes the Store does seem to get stuck and not update for some time, and I'm afraid that that may be what has happened here. It usually sorts itself out eventually, but it's very frustrating.
    You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to try to do something about it, but to be honest I rather doubt you'll get a helpful answer.

  • Photo Not Updating for Podcast

    I have a minor issue with the Podcast app from iOS 5.1.1 thru 6.1.
    The artwork for the podcasts are not updating in the app.  I listen to a lot of music podcasts and on iTunes I see the updated artwork every week.  When I sync my iPhone 5 I will see it say Updating cover for episode ### but when I play that episode podcast it will have the artwork for an older episode.  Usually for an episode that I have already deleted.
    Not a huge crisis but it is annoying.  Thanks.

    The feed you are checking is at
    http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
    and though the server is being slow to respond it can be subscribed to in iTunes and shows your recent episodes as expected.
    However, iTunes is looking for a feed at
    http://www.calvarygreenmeadow.com/~calvaryg/podcasts/ccgreen-rss.xml
    There is no file at this address. This means that since 14 November last you have been updating the wrong feed.
    You need to replace the feed at this URL. Once done, you can redirect iTunes to your newer feed if you want, following the process detailed here:

  • IBooks has not been able to load or update for weeks. IPad2 Running 5.1.1

    iBooks has not been able to load or update for weeks...stuck.
    IPad2 Running 5.1.1

    - What is the exact wording of the error message?
    - What happens when yu try to update to iOS 5.1? Error messages?
    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restore from backup. This will also update the iOS.
    - Then restore to factory defaults/new iPod which will also update the iOS.

  • 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.

  • Made No Changes, But Podcast Feed Stopped Updated

    My podcast feed has not updated for a month or so now and I cannot figure out why.
    I use feedburner and have used the same procedure every episode no problem but it just started doing this.
    What other info can I provide in order to troubleshoot?
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/FullMetalNerdcast
    You'll notice the two most recent episodes don't have the "PLAY NOW" button while the rest of them do...

    The latest episode to appear in both the iTunes Store and when subscribing in iTunes is 63. The two subsequent episodes do not have 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of the media files, as is required by iTunes. Consequently iTunes does not see these episodes as containing media and so does not display them.
    You have constructed your feed in FeedForAll, about which I'm afraid I can't advise: there is obviously something you need to do to make these episodes iTunes-compliant.

  • RSS - Live bookmark failed to load - Firefox, RSS feeds not updating

    I am new to this forum, and I figure this has been covered before. However, I'm not finding an answer.
    I have a Beehive workspace and go to Recent Activity to subscribe to the RSS feed. When using Firefox, I am prompted for my username and password. The RSS feed works until I quit Firefox. After restarting Firefox, I get the "Live bookmark failed to load" message.
    If I try to access the feed with Safari, I have the option to enter my username and password, and then save that info in my keychain. I'm trying to determine if the reason the RSS feed isn't updating because of some authentication problem.
    People using Internet Explorer have also reported problems with Beehive workspace RSS feeds not updating, so I'm trying to find a solution.
    Not providing reliable RSS feeds is slowing down adoption of our workspace, and people aren't wanting to use the workspace until I've resolved the RSS issue.
    Can you point me to a solution or to information on how to resolve the RSS updating issues.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    The RSS feed is password protected as you have to be an authenticated user to access the complete system. The issue seems to be in the browser - if it does not trigger a check for username/password and then prompt if not set there is a li9mited amount we can do.
    We are working on getting the subscriptions inside beehive working which will generate notifications but that will not be available for a week or so.
