Podcast not updating episodes in iTunes store

Hi,
I have a podcast that is not showing newer episodes. My feed appears to be fine because I can subscribe to it and see the new episodes. I've also updated iTunes artwork and the store updated that within a day. Is there something wrong with my feed?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mojo-in-the-morning-podcast/id257739576

thanks

The Store shows only the seven episodes posted on 2 December, whereas the large number both before and since then are visible when subscribing.
This is rather weird - it would be more usual for episodes after a given date not to show because of an error, and earlier ones shouldn't be affected.
However, there are a number of minor errors in the feed and I would refer you to the FeedValidator report. There is one which struck me as a possible cause for problems. The title tag of one of the episodes for 18 December reads
<title><![CDATA[Already Opened My GiftsÔøΩ]]></title>
The characters after 'Gifts' show up as a '?' in most readers but from what you see above it looks as if you've managed to insert something odd, probably by initially writing in a word processor (never a good idea). You should delete whatever you see after 'Gifts' and if you want a question mark type it directly in a plain text editor.

New Podcast for iTunes Not Updating in the iTunes Store

Hello Apple Community,
My name is Sara Simms, I have recently started a new DJ podcast series called Flight. My new episode has not updated yet in the iTunes store (its been over three days since I uploaded it)
My podcast episodes are hosted here:
http://sarasimms.blogspot.ca
My Feedburner URL is:
feed://feeds.feedburner.com/sarasimmsflightofficialpodcast
I also uploaded new artwork via Feedburner, in the 'Podcast' section of iTunes I see the artwork has updated.
However, in the iTunes store itself, the new artwork is not displayed. Here is the link to my iTunes podcast:
http://bit.ly/VM8tcF
I just pinged Feedburner, hopefully this helps to update everything.
Could anyone else please let me know if there's anything else I should check/change to make sure my podcast episodes are updating?
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,
Sara Simms

Hello Sai,
You can try below and let me know the result.
I believe you must be using cycle counting method. Make sure the person name of inventory document creator and the person who actually count the document is same. If so then last counting date will be correctly updated. I would advice you to simulate below scenario.
Create the PI document and assign the name of person. And perform the actual counting by another person by exactly same method for which you were getting an error. Then observe the results.
If above solution fails to find out the cause then consult SAP.
Cheer up!! and all the best!!!

Descriptions of individual episodes of my podcast NOT showing up in iTunes Store Listing

Podcast feed: http://talkradiomeltdown.com/podcast.xml
Feedburner variant feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/talkradiomeltdown
Store listing: http://talkradiomeltdown.com/itunes
I have coded my podcast feed entirely by myself, using the template provided here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#example
While checking my feed in the iTunes Store recently, I have noticed that after Episode 64, the descriptions for each individual episodes are displayed as "--", and I am not seeing a link to open descriptions of these individual episodes in a new window. This appears to be a recent problem.
I am noticing no difference in XML code between Episode 64 and Episode 65, as the template is unchanged with each update to the feed. However, I have noticed that, when checking my feed through FeedValidator.org, I receive this message:
"Your feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII"
I have attempted to rectify this issue, but to no avail. I wonder if it is causing this issue to occur. Again, this appears to be recent. Last I checked the Store listing for my podcast (a few weeks ago), I was seeing descriptions for each individual episode.

Don't worry about the Feedvalidator error.
The Store is using the feed at http://talkradiomeltdown.com/podcast.xml - the Feedburner feed doesn't come into it.
Not filling in the 'itunes:subtitle' tag is what's caused the problem. When subscribing, the 'Description' column is presumably populated by the 'description' tag in the absence of the proper one, but the Store is not doing this.
Oddly enough your latest episode does have the 'itunes:subtitle' tag but it's not showing in the Store - did you add it subsequent to posting the episode? - if that's the case the Store will pick it up when you post a new episode.

Updating episode on iTunes store

hi there,
i updated my feed for the itunes store because i added a new video podcast. does it take a little while before it actually gets added in and for the changes to take place?
thanks,
andy

The URL for your episode's media file is given as
http://fs07n3.sendspace.com/dl/8de02510bd46ac1c210d8674cbf85436/51eecd62080d9eec /vssorl/Votan%20Records%20Podcast%20%23001%20%28Final%29.mp3
This r:edirects to
http://www.sendspace.com/file/vssorl
which is a web page containing a download link. This won't work: you must provide a direct link to your media file. If you enter the URL in Safari it should play in its own window in Safari with nothing else. Sendspace doesn't look to be a suitable place to host your media files.
The filename has spaces in it - spaces are not allowed in a URL: the feed has correctly substituted the code %20 so it wouldn't be a problem if that URL didn't redirect, but it's bad practice and you should remove the space - replace them with underscore.
You don't have an 'itunes:duration' tag containing the duration in HH:MM:SS format, which is why no duration shows.

Created Podcast Not showing up in Itunes Store...

Hi Gang...I was wondering does anyone know y my created podcasts are not showing up in the itunes store...my rss feed has been validated and i am able myself to subscribe to it...but when i do a search it does not come up and doesnt show....also how can i find out if ppl have downloaded and listened to my show...my rss feed is jason1977.libsyn.com/rss

When I first created my podcast, I noticed quite a bit of lag between the time my feed got accepted and the time when it would be found when i did a search on iTunes... I think it was like 2 days before a search on my name or the name of my podcast would bring up my feed.
Give it a little while to all come together.

Descriptions of individual episodes of my podcast NOT showing up in iTunes Store Listing AGAIN

I had this issue occur a while back, where the descriptions of invdividual episodes of my podcast would not display in iTunes - instead, a "--" would appear. At the time, the reason for this issue's occurrence was because I did not have a <itunes:subtitle> tag decalred for each individual episode. I have since gone in and added that string, and the descriptions had shown up in iTunes.
Just today, I added a new episode to my feed. The descriptions are all gone again! In their place: "--." Each item, including the most recently added episode, has a <itunes:subtitle> tag, so I am really not sure now what the issue is!

Roger,
The second feed that you mentioned:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/talk-radio-meltdown-radioyou/id425903848
using the feed at
http://talkradiomeltdown.com/radioyou-podcast.xml
... is irrevelant. It was a separate edition of my podcast that was granted its own special feed. It has not been updated since 2010-2011.
My main concern is my feed at: http://talkradiomeltdown.com/podcast.xml. That is my main feed. The last time I had this issue, you were very helpful in pointing out that I was missing the <itunes:subtitle> tags; I had gone in and added them, and after a couple of days, the feed updated with the subtitles in place.
However, it appears that, since adding a new episode yesterday (our first new episode since early September) the subtitles/descriptions seem to have vanished again.
Hopefully this resolves itself in a couple of days. I will check my feed again, though running the .xml file through FeedValidator.org has brought up no errors in regards to bad formatting.

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.

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.

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.

My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app

My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.

OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

I am running Windows 7 (64bit) , and an error message appears following a recent update to iTunes v 11.1.2: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212). Make sure your network connection is active and try again." help!

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Can't see the podcast picture and episodes on iTunes

Hi,
My podcast feed was added to iTunes store about a week ago. It was working well for a couple of days, and now, I can't see my episodes and my podcast picture on iTunes catalogue.
I was wondering what might be the problem?
Here's the XML file created by Feedburner:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/AltSokakPodcast
Here's the iTunes page of my podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=354093921
Thank you.

If you search on the title of your podcast your episodes show up in the search page (though the image doesn't) but not when you click on the image and go to the actual Store page, which is empty. Subscribing shows the episodes and the feed seems OK, so this is yet another Store glitch - there have been some odd goings-on recently. It may sort itself out eventually: I don't see there is anything you can do unless you want to try Support (who may not be much help).
iTunes support, for problems with podcasts, is at
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.
