Podcast not updating in iTunes application

My podcast shows up fine in my RSS feed on my server. It shows up fine in the iTune Store.
My podcast is NOT showing up in my iTunes Application feed and shows the like there is a broken link somewhere when I try to "Update Podcast".
My RSS feed:
feed://www.nathan-russell.com/ovs/ovs.xml
iTunes preview:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-overnight-variety-show/id420386052
I recently updated my feed with 2 new episodes on August 22nd, 2011. Normally it doesn't take 4 days to update in my iTunes Application. I've previously used the email that Apple sent upon approval of my podcast to ping my server and "update" my iTunes Application to show the most recent additions but the link they provided in that email ( https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=420386052 ) has stopped working as well.
Please help me determine why my updated RSS feed is not showing up in the subscription to my own podcast within the iTunes Application itself.
Thank you kindly!

You have rendered your feed invalid. 'Episode 16 - promo' contains two unescaped ampersands, one in the 'itunes:summary' tag and once in the 'description' tag"
'A.J. Finney, Dallas Orbiter & Jesse Joyce.'
An ampersand by itself indicates the start of a code sequence which is never terminated, thus rendering the entire feed unreadable.
Oddly enough, this text appears successfully in the iTunes Store page: did you change it to the uncoded ampersand at a later stage? Usually this mistake stops the Store page updating as soon as it's in the feed.
You need to replace both ampersands with the code & or the word 'and'. Once you do this the feed will work.
The 'ping' facility has been withdrawn from the iTunes Store for some time now (I'm not convinced that it ever worked anyway) - you just have to wait for the Store to update in its own time (usually 1-2 days).

Podcast not updating in itunes app on ipad

I submitted an RSS feed to itunes and was accepted. At the time when I was accepted I had one video in my podcast and I was able to access this video via my ipad. Since then I have used feedforall to update my rss feed. I see the updates when I access the podcast from itunes on my computer however when I access the podcast through itunes on my ipad the new videos are not showing up. I thought at first the issue was the codec but the video that shows up is the same as the videos that don't.
Here is the rss feed URL: www.arinc.com/podcast/arinc.xml
And, on itunes the podcast is called "ARINC Media Podcast"
Thanks in advance!

I don't have an iPad so I can't advise on that: I don't know how it accesses podcasts.
However what I can tell you is that the Store shows only one episode, 'Defense Systems'. This is the earliest, though only by just under two-and-a-half hours. All episodes date from 12th or 13th December - yesterday and today.
The iTunes Store caches the feed and visits it periodically to check for updates, so it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear there, though they appear immediately for subscribers, whose iTunes application reads the feed directly.
It therefore seems probably that your feed was last checked between 1521 and 1849 yesterday, and so won't be checked until, probably, tomorrow or perhaps the day after: at which point all the existing episodes will appear there. All this behaviour is quite normal.
As I say, I don't know about iPad and podcasts, but if it reads the Store rather than the feed you would get the same behaviour.
I should give it a couple of days or so and see what happens.

Podcast not updating on iTunes Music Store but it's ok on Feed

Hi, we've been posting a podcast every two weeks on iTunes Music Store for more than a year, the podcast name is sushi pop. This is the feed that we're using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ColissioncomSushiPop but since almost a month it hasn't been published on iTunes Music Store, anyone could help us with this? Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

Neither the Store nor iTunes when subscribing is showing episodes 25 and 26.
Your earlier episodes each have two 'enclosure' tags: if both contained playable media iTunes would ignore the second (you can't have more than one enclosure per episode). However in each case the first one contains a bit.ly URL which downloads the media file. This is not acceptable to iTunes, which thus defaults to the second enclosure, which does contain a playable URL. (The test is that the URL, when pasted into a browser's address bar, plays the episode in the browser, not downloads it.)
However episodes 25 and 26 have only one enclosure each, containing a bit.ly URL, again downloading the file. Since the episode contains no playable media iTunes does not display it.
You need to stick to one enclosure, containing a direct URL to the media file.

Podcast does not update on iTunes

Podcast does not update on iTunes
the url
http://itunes.apple.com/tw/podcast/id335308817
the last date is 2010/6/17
But the feed url
http://iphone.realma.com/podcast/ettv.xml
the last date is 2010/10/21 and daily update
Why? Is there any thing wrong in the feed url?
Thank you!

I'm afraid I can't make any sense of this. the iTunes Store page lists 301 episodes from 12 January 2010 to 17 June 2010. If you click on the 'subscribe free' button your iTunes application subscribes to the feed at the URL you give, which contains rather fewer episodes from 17 September 2010 to 22 October 2010 (today).
It's not unknown for something in the feed to be OK with the application but not the Store, but the feed validates in FeedValidator and I can't see anything wrong with it - it's almost impossible to read as it's all on one line, but it doesn't seem to contain any of the usual culprits.
The only explanation which would make any sense (and which doesn't seem to be the case) would be if the feed had been complete only to 17 June until a few days ago, and you only recently replaced it with the current set of episodes: it normally takes 1-2 days for changes to appear (so even under normal circumstances today's episodes wouldn't appear yet in the Store, only on subscribing). Since your feed contains episodes back to September this doesn't seem to apply, but I can't see any other reason.

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2
Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 / Intel-i7 2.40 GHz / 8GB RAM / 64-bit
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.

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 - Ep1×1 - 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.

Help! Podcast not updating - how do I fix this?

I have been asked to look into why our podcast (Without Limits Christian Center) is not updating in iTunes. I am not familiar with iTunes at all and to be honest the specs are a little like reading Greek at this point. The web address where our podcast is located is http://wlcconline.com/index.php/?/media/podcasts/.
I know we switched servers a while back with out web host (GoDaddy) from a Windows server to a Linux. Is that the problem? Can anyone give me any guidance on what might be going on and how to fix it - preferably in English and not tech language if that is possible. Thanks!!

Roger,
Thank you so much for your help! It is beginning to make sense. I took a look at your site, and from what I'm reading there and in the technical specs for iTunes, it looks like I need to remove our podcast and resubmit it with your new URL, since our old one is no longer accessible at all.
Could you help me with one more thing? I believe our new URL would be the one below, does this look right to you? It goes to the page where our podcasts are now located. I checked with our web host, and they believe it is right, but they don't have any iTunes experience, so thought I'd check with you as well.
Also, would take any hints you have on removing the podcast and resubmitting for a new one. Our developer did it for us last time, but I'll be doing it this time so that part is new as well.
Thank you again for your assistance; GREATLY appreciated!!

Switched from Podpress to Powerpress and now feed is not updating in iTunes - Please help

Please help...at my wit's end!
A few days ago I switched from using Podpress to Powerpress for my podcast. I followed all instructions and my feed appears to be valid. However, my podcast is not updating in iTunes at all and when I tried to resubscribe, I got an error message that said that there are no playable episodes.
Please, please...someone help. I really don't know what else to do and trying to get support from Apple or Blubrry has been fruitless.
My feed is: http://www.surrealla.com/feed/podcast/
Thank you!

Hi Roger,
Well, I was unable to locate the old feed (I don't even know if it exists in the conventional way, since it was set up by Podpress), and attempted to remove my podcast completely from iTunes in order to start fresh. Unfortunately, it appears as though iTunes no longer does this and instead directs you to add a <block> tag to your feed....and around we go.
So I've pleaded via Express Lane to please, please have someone change my feed to the new http://www.surrealla.com/feed/podcast/ ...that old feed should have never been set up that way in the first place. Argh.
Question: Can I resubmit my podcast to iTunes without deleting the old one? I'd hate to do that...seems tacky...but I have no idea what else to do if the pleading doesn't work.
Thank you again - you've been so helpful!

While switching web hosting services my podcast quit updating on iTunes. What do I do?

While switching web hosting services my podcast quit updating on iTunes. What do I do? My RSS URL is http://www.soapboxheroescc.com/podcast/feed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is no file at that URL, only an error message.
Is this your podcast -
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/soap-box-heroessoap-box-heroes/id682605938
This is using the feed at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SoapBoxHeroessoapBoxHeroesPodcast
which has four episodes; however there are no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of playable media, so as iTunes does not show episodes with no playable media the podcast shows as empty.
I could only guess that that is your podcast from the title given in the error message for the URL you quote as you haven't given any further information.
If it is, then the Feedburner feed must be working from a feed you've created, though there's no way of knowing its URL. You can move Feedburner to using a different feed easily enough, or get the feed it's using working properly, and then the podcast will be subscribable again and the Store will catch up after a few days.

IPod not updating with iTunes

When I plug my iPod into the computer, it is not updating with iTunes.
The software version on iTunes is 1.2.1 and is the same on my iPod.
I did have a relapse last evening, as my iPod got confused. It stalled, so I had to drain the battery and recharg it. When I plugged it in today to the computer, it is not updating with iTunes - and I did update it to 7.1 version of iTunes, but the software version still says 1.2.1.
It also says my ipod is up to date with iTunes.
Please help.
Thanks,
Donnie

See if there's any help here.

Address Book and iCal not updating in iTunes

After I make changes to my address book I try to sync the changes the old groups, information, and photos are not updating to iTunes and therefore nothing is changing on my devices. I followed directions from this link http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2481 and now it's cleared all my contact and calendar data in iTunes and therefore cleared all my contacts and calendar data on my iPhone and iPad. Anyone know how to get iTunes to recognize the current data in my apps?

Answered by finding out elsewhere that the iSync tool has an option to refresh all old sync history.

HT4796 i have successfully migrated the music but it just shows up in my files and has not updated my iTunes library which is still getting the music from iCloud and is not using the migrated files. Any ideas?

I have successfully used windows migration software to move my music library from a PC to my MacBook Air.
However the music files are just stored in my file system and have not updated my itunes files. Itunes is still getting the music down from icloud instead of using the music files.
Any ideas?

If you're using Windows Movie Maker and HP Photo to build slide shows, this is not an iPod touch issue (nor an iTunes issue), so I'd suggest you take up the problem on a web site that deals with Movie Maker or HP Photo issues. It's really not something we can help with in this forum.
If you're building this slide show on your iPod, please post back and tell us what app(s) you're trying to use, and whether the iPod app on your iPod touch shows and plays your songs correctly. Knowing the specific model of iPod you have and the version of iOS it's running will probably also help.
Regards.

Open iTunes and then plug in the device. Try the back switch in the "off" position. Then windows should install necessary device drivers, then iTunes should take over.
