Podcast No Longer Showing Up on iTunes Search Results

We submitted our podcast months ago and it showed up on the iTunes store just fine. Somewhere along the way, someone on our end introduced a code error in the .xml file that broke the links to the audio files. We didn't find this issue out for quite a while, and in that time, it appears that iTunes flagged and took down our podcast feed from the store (I'm assuming because of this code error).
I have since remedied the code issues and I can subscribe directly to the feed now, so it is working fine. But I cannot get the store to show the podcast in any search results. When I try to resubmit the feed the store says it is already submitted - even if I change the url and the .xml file name, so it is clearly smarter than I am, haha.
Any tips on how to get out of this problem? It has been several weeks and the podcast still does not show up on the store.
Thanks,
Bill

Roger,
Thanks for the reply - in the time it took me to hit submit and tab back to my .xml file I saw that I'd missed changing the link/title. Thank you for confirming that this will do it - it let me resubmit. Take care!

My podcast no longer shows up in iTunes

My podcast has quit showing in itunes. My podbean service was interrupted because of a security hold at PayPal. I've tried resubmitting my feed but iTunes tells me it has already been submitted. The feed is http://shaynor.podbean.com/feed.

You could try making a small change to the podcast title and re-submitting it. (You can change the title back once it's been accepted).
If that doesn't work you could try emailing them on [email protected] - I don't know whether they will sort this for you, but it's worth trying.

Podcast isn't showing up in iTunes store search

Hi all-
I have a podcast that's been up and running on iTunes for a few months now but i have one problem: unelss you serach for my podcast by its title "BuckAround" it does not show up in any search results. I use Squarespace to host my podcast and have the iTunes search words set as "Wisconsin, Badgers, College, Football, BuckAround" but no combinatino of any of the other terms has my show come up in the results.
Can anyone offer help as to what I'm doing wrong? Or is it simply an issue of me needing to build a bigger audience before iTunes returns my show in the results?
Many thanks!
Rich

The Search facility has never worked well with keywords. As long as you have your keywords correctly referenced there isn't really anything you can do about it.

My podcast is no longer showing up in iTunes - XML help

Hello community
I've recently gotten back into producing podcasts and for some reason my old podcast is not showing up in iTunes, I believe it may be the XML. Is it possible for someone to take a look and let me know if they see anything blaringly wrong with the code? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this thing to work.
thanks for your help

Your episode of 11 January 2013 is missing the opening 'item' tag, although it has the closing '/item' tag. Surprisingly the feed can be subscribed to manually in iTunes and works OK, but this error could be expected to wreck the feed and as the Store is a lot less robust it's probably unable to read it. Consequently your feed has evidently been removed from the Store, and you will have to re-submit it from scratch (you will need to change the title slightly).
There are other issues; when accessed in a browser the file is a forced download - this shouldn't be happening and is because of the way the server is set. It should open in your default rss reader.
FeedValidator reports 'Feeds should not be served with the "addtype" media type' - I don't know what that means but it sounds inadvisable.
Other, minor, errors: in the enclosure tag for the episode of 12 December 2012 the 'length' attribrute should not have commas in it.
This tag:
<pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2012 01:00:00 PDT</pubDate>
has the wrong day, it should be Sun.
There are too many keywords in the episode of 12 December 2012 - only 12 are allowed.
These minor errors won't have caused your problem, it's the missing tag and possibly the forced download which need to be addressed before you re-submit.

Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I have been searching for hours and haven't found a definite answer. Anyone know if this is possible?
Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I'm having the same problem. I go to Podcasts/Video Podcasts/News and they only give the featured, favorites (whose?), etc. I want to see all video news podcasts but if I then click on see all, it drops the video classification and shows all news podcasts. The iTunes search in general leaves a lot to be desired; its not very intuitive or pleasant to use, not the usual Apple experience.

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

How exactly did you do that

Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?

If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.

How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up in iTunes?

All of a sudden my iPhone doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable it does on my MacBook. I have tried plugging it in diretly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first pluged in.
Does anyone know why when plugging in the iPhone 3G or my iPod Classic (old school) it won't load on the side bar of iTunes? It is like it does not exist. I have done all updates. I restarted my computer a couple of times and finally got the iPod Classic to load but still the iPhone 3G shows nothing. It won';t even boot my phone up to charge it but will the iPod.
I use the iPhone on my MackBook with the same cord and it loads to iTunes and starts to sync. Same with the iPod. Both computers are running the same software. Since it works on the MacBook and use to work on then iMac G5 I am thinking it may have something to do with the updates for iTunes. I use the MacBook to charge the iPhone and iPod sometimes but the main computer for syncing is the iMac. Only nothing seems to work. After restarting the iMac several times the iPod seems to work then not work. I am frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

Existing Podcast no longer showing up in Directory

I need some help. I work for a church. Podcast has been set up for years. About 3 months ago, the podcast no longer shows up in the directory, so people that are not already subscribed cannot find it. But if you were already a subscriber, it is still being updated weekly. I have tried to re-submit the feed, it takes it, but then nothing. I have done the feed validator and it is a valid feed. Is there a way to get to a person that can help me?

I am having the same problem. My podcast is original content. It is clean. It is updated. There is no reason for it to disappear.

Remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes

I have recently had to send my DVD/surround-sound into the shop for repair. It used to play iTunes through Airport Express fine, but now I've tried hooking Airport up to both my TV and another stereo, but in both cases remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes. I've tried reconfiguring Airport Express, and have got 'look for remote speakers' checked in iTunes prefs, bit to no avail...can anyone help me?
Also, on a related note, last time I had probas, I chatted with a support guy online somewhere on Apple.com but I can't seem to find this anymore...anyone know where it's gone?

I had the same problem. I was using iTunes 7.0.2 with two Airport Express devices and it worked fine when the Bonjour service was running at the same time.
After I upgraded to iTunes 7.1 I was unable to connect to my Airport Express devices unless I disabled\stopped the Bonjour service. :-/
While disabling the Bonjour service is a workaround for iTunes, it breaks other 3rd party apps that use the Bonjour service to stream to the Airport Express devices. I have a WinAmp plugin that allows me to stream WinAmp to my Airport devices that doesn't work when the Bonjour service is turned off.
I hope Apple fixes this problem ASAP. I hope Apple didn't do this to intentionally to defeat 3rd party apps that figured out how to stream to an Airport Express.

HT1819 Podcasts used to, but no longer shows up in iTunes. Have been accepted.

Hi. I have a podcast that has a working RSS feed that used to show up when you searched in iTunes but no longer does. It was accepted by Apple and showed up in the iTunes podcasts, but now it's not there. I can't figure out why it would disappear. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to get it to show back up in iTunes? When I tried to re-submit it, I get a message that says "this podcast has already been submitted."

Also, if I know I've seen a particular movie on iTunes that's no longer available, what's the best way to contact Apple, Inc. to make the movie available so, I may purchase it? Thanks again to anyone who may be able to help.
