Podcast Image is Not Updating for over Two Weeks

Hi. I use Wordpress - > Feedburner - > iTunes Store and my designated podcast image has not been updated in the Store for over two weeks. However I will note that on the Apple Podcast App, and in the iTunes Podcasting Section in my iTunes Library, the image updated almost immediately. It's only in the store that it's a problem, plus, that is the URL we use to share on Social Media. So it's code red!
I have been following all the threads, and understand that sometimes the store gets "stuck," but we are reaching hair-pulling-out-of-our-skulls mode, considering our large audience-base and the regularity with which we share the podcast on Social Media.
The outdated image, which iTunes Store is still displaying, does not exist anywhere on or offline at all. It is behaving as a ghost, not the scary kind the really f*cking annoying kind. I have no idea how in the world the store is still accessing it. It is 2014, and I simply cannot believe that Apple Technology would be this sluggish, and so I'm beginning to suspect I've messed something up somewhere, and really I'm at a loss and I can't keep telling my superiors that it's someone else's fault and HELP HELP HELP
anyway (clears throat)
Here is the wordpress RSS:  http://stephenmansfield.tv/category/podcast/feed/
Here is the Feedburner RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/MansfieldPodcast
Here is the correct media URL I entered in "SmartCast -> Podcast Image Location" on Feedburner over two weeks ago:

Here is our iTunes Podcast URL which is magically (read stupidly) displaying a non-existent jpg file as our image:

BLARGH!! Thanks!!

After over 8 weeks, I got my image updated. I don't know exactly what did it. First I followed Roger's advice and changing the file name to a name that had never been used before. The fact that I reset back to an earlier image, thus a file name that had already been used, maybe confused it a little bit. So I changed the file name and re-uploaded. I also compressed the file size down a notch to make it smaller.
Finally, I bugged Apple tech support on the phone to no end (sorry sir, we don't know how to fix this, sorry sir, we don't really understand podcasting) until they gave me this email adress, and there, they told me they reset the feed:
Podcasts at apple .com
It is 2014, and updating a dedicated Podcast image should not be this hard. They need to totally revamp their system. I think the more we complain about this on the forums, the quicker this will happen.
This is the only podcast directory that has this outdated problem. Unfortunately, it's also the most important podcast directory.

  • Why is it that the Verizon version of the new HTC One M8 has no battery saver extreme ? Its been on Sprint for over two weeks now !

    The Battery Saver Extreme for the new HTC One Mi8 was announced by both Verizon and HTC, yet it is still not available on Verizon, has been on Sprint phones for over two weeks. According to HTC , Verizon has simply not released the necessary software update.
    Not at all good public relations when many people bought this phone with this feature being one of main reasons for the purchase !

    And a disabled download booster also. And the FM Radio is disabled. Just google for research.
    T-Mobile has the options. from what I am reading.
    Good Luck

  • I have troubles enabling the cookies, even though I never disabled them, thus I cannot log into my GMAIL account for over two weeks now. What should I do?

    I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account, because it says: cookies are disabled, enable cookies to continue. I tried changing my settings in Firefox - Options - Settings - Privacy - Use custom settings. I did exactly what I was advised in the Firefox Help online, enabled everything, then clicked OK. Didnt work. Tried it again and I only found that the settings (custom settings - enabled everything) were not even saved. I am not able to save these custom settings any way, it never saves them no matter how many times I try and click ok, I come back to the setting to find that they are not there. So I tried clearing all the cookies and cache in history (also found this online in firefox support site), guess what? DIDNT WORK. I am starting to be a little bit pissed off as I cannot log into my gmail or facebook account for over two weeks now! Any time I need to check e-mails I have to use someones laptop.

    If the cookies are enabled in Firefox and you still have problems then you may have security software that is blocking cookies.
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • My podcast has not updated in over two months. Ive tried everything to get it working. Please Help

    My feed has not updated in the store for over two months. I now have three new episodes in there which are not showing up.
    Everything works fine through itunes, i can see all episodes and my feed validates with the feed validator.
    About 2 months ago my artwork dissappeared from the feed and since then it has never updated again.
    Hope someone can help.

    Hi Roger, just to update you on the situation.
    I did some more digging into the problem im having and it was suggested that i tried re-submitting the feed to the store.
    On doing so i got the error message that my hosting does not have byte-range support which it seems a lot of people are having problems with. Having read further it seems apple introduced these changes around the time my podcast stopped updating which seems to tie into how the issue started.
    So i created a test feed with one episode and a link to a media file from a working podcast and still it would not submit, i was getting the 'We have difficulty reading this feed. Connection Reset error'
    Luckily i have another hosting provider so i uploaded the exact same test feed and the feed got accepted.
    So i have come to the conclusion that my host does not have byte-range support but also it seems this is stopping it reading the actual .xml file as well as the .mp3 content which from reading other posts should not happen.
    So im in the process of uploading the latest episode to my host that has byte-range support enabled and im going to update my current feed with one episode and a link to the .mp3 file on the server with byte-range support enabled and im hoping fingers crossed the feed updates.
    Obviously i can set up a new feed on the server with byte-range support enabled but if my current feed fails to update at all im concerned i will never be able to update the feed again and therefore never be able to add the feed URL redirect code in order to keep my subscribers.
    Thought id share this with you as it may help you in helping others having similar problems.

  • Enhanced podcasts, images do not update in separate window?

    Hi all, when I watch an enhanced podcast, the images update in the itunes artwork window as they should,
    but if I click on the window to display the images in a separate window the images do not update in the new window,
    if I do this with a video podcast then it works just fine, the video plays in the separate window without any problems,
    is this a bug, or is itunes not able to do this yet?
    cheers, Rob

    Hi Rob,
    Did you ever figure this out? I posted two similar questions (with no replies) before seeing yours. If this feature does not exist, I am thinking that this is something that Apple needs to address in the next iTunes update. Since Apple is promoting enhanced podcasts, it is only reasonable that iTunes make them easy to watch.

  • Can't update for last two weeks

    For the last week or so I've had an update waiting for me in the APP store. Every time I go to the APP store I can view all the categories but the update category. When I click on updates the page is blank and it keeps looking like its loading something. Here is the output log from the system. Did my license change all the sudden?

  • I have an ipad mini and it is completely frozen and has not synced for over 12 weeks  error message says Icloud Backup  This ipad hasn't been backed up in 15 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi

    I was given an ipad mini for Christmas.  It has twice frozen completely up.  It is also not backing up or syncing with my other devices.  The prompt on the screen states:
    icloud backup
    this ipad hasn't been backed up in 15 weeks.  Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.
    then there is an OK bar underneath
    anyone experience this and if so how do I reboot?
    Gigi

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Order stuck at post office (not updating for about a week now)

    I've placed an order last week ( Tales of Xillia ) and it was scheduled to be delivered last Wednesday.
    The parcel has been stuck at the status "Parcel being transferred to local post office" since the 16th.
    This has happened to me before once and basically, the CSR just resent the same product to me.
    I was wondering if someone here could do the same in this case as well.
    Thanks!

    Hello karekano126,
    Lost packages are the worst, aren’t they?  While it certainly doesn’t happen very often, it can definitely ruin someone’s day, and I'm sorry for the disappointment this caused.
    If an online order is reported to us as missing, we reach out to UPS on your behalf to start an investigation to determine where your package may be. This process may take a few days to conclude. I would hate for this to cause further frustration for you than it already has though, and I have sent you a private message so that we may discuss this further. To view it, please make sure you are logged into the forum and click on the envelope in the upper right-hand corner.
    Thank you for posting,

    If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store to upgrade further.
    If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.8, you need to buy Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store, or if 10.8's incompatible with your Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

  • Podcast Image Won't Update/Change

    Recently I have been attempting to change podcast's logo. Despite the fact that I have pointed to it correctly and giving it a different file name, the old logo remains. I even overwrote the old logo for good measure, just in case.
    I have also pinged the iTMS. Everything else works fine... but no logo update.
    Here are the links:
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/avg
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=116891255
    Anyone have an idea?

    I just want to give an update for anyone else who might be having podcast image problems.
    I finally found that my image has been updated, after almost 3 weeks of changing it. I am not sure if this is what helped the problem... but I DID "report a problem" with my own podcast, stating that the logo was not updating. this may have gotten the iTunes editorial attention.

  • Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2

    iTunes 11.3.1.2
    After refreshing my Podcast list, some Podcasts with new episodes do not display the "Unplayed" blue dot.
    If the podcast "folder" is expanded by clicking the triangle, the new episodes are shown with a "Unplayed" blue dot.
    A new episode is shown in the My Podcast view, with the correct number of new episodes.
    The new episodes are displayed in the All Unplayed view.
    I've tried deleting all episodes and downloading new episodes from the iTunes Store.
    I've tried Unsubscribing and deleting the podcast, then Subscribing again from the iTunes Store.
    Neither attempt resolved the issue.
    I've seen this issue for a while, and was disappointed to find no change with the iTunes 11.3.1.2 update.

    it finally worked; got my Rush 24/7 downloaded, and it finally found my iPhone after switching from the USB 4 port Hub to a dedicated USB 2.0 slot on my laptop.

  • Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now.

    Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now. I have cleared the cache and cookies multiple times, updated flash player, did a virus and malware scan, allowed java script, allowed mozilla in the Windows firewall, contacted Zynga multiple times, and yet Farmville still will not load using Firefox, my main and preferred browser. I'm very frustrated and want this fixed.

    Thanks for the advice cor-el, but if you would read the info I posted, I already did that, SEVERAL TIMES. That's not the solution unfortunately.
