Podcast Removed from iTunes

My podcast has been removed from iTunes, and I don't know why.
If you were to do a Google search, you can easily find it, and the following link is provided:
itunes.apple.com/ie/podcast/arc-light-stories/id404452832. However, if you open that link in iTunes you are told that the podcast no longer exists.
Is it permanently gone even though Google can still find this link?
The feed for the podcast is arclightstories.com/podcast/feed.xml, and it has been working fine.
I've been using Podcast Generator to create the feed and send it to iTunes.
Is there any way to restore it to the store without losing my subscribers?
Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Your podcast does appear to have been removed from the Store, There's no real way of knowing why - it might even be an error - a quick look at the feed suggests that it's unlikely that it's a matter of unacceptable content or copyright violation.
You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but you likely won't get a helpful answer, in which case you will have to re-submit it as a new podcast. You will need to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted, and it's a good idea to keep the feed filename.
Your subscribers can still see your feed - the Store is not involved once they have subscribed - and you can move them to another feed by following the instructions here:

Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.

Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app?

Why were podcasts removed from the stable Music app? If it was absolutely necessary to have a seperate Podcasts app, why couldn't we have kept the iOS 6 option of leaving podcasts in the Music app if we didn't download the Apple Podcasts app. Since the iPhone 3g I have never had an issue with the Music app, it's always be reliably stable, yet it's been problem after problem after being forced to download the Podcasts app after updating to iOS 7.
1) Podcasts app, every version since being forced to download it with iOS 7, has never synced correctly with iTunes. My phone is always missing podcasts that I've set to sync and want to listen to when I'm away from my computer. Seems like this should be a basic function (one that worked flawlessly when podcasts were in the Music app)
2) Since the last two updates, it has been CRASH AD INFINITUM. Not a single podcast will play for more than a second before the app crashes to springboard. The newest update that supposedly 'fixed' the stability issue fixed nothing for me. What is the point of all the new features if the app won't stay open? I don't want new features, I just want to sync podcasts from iTunes and then listen to them on my phone. Podcasts really should be that simple!
I've killed Apple Podcasts app from the multitasking view. Restarted app. Crash.
I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, and synced. Crash.
I've deleted Apple Podcasts app, and all data, re-installed, did not sync, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
I've restored my phone, only installed the Podcasts app, downloaded a podcast from within the app. Crash.
Bought a paid third-party app, downloaded a podcast from with the app. Enjoyed listening to a podcast.

Hi,
This is a Google problem - they have purposefully removed the app.
Sorry about that!

How can I get music REMOVED from iTunes Store?!

I manage a band who has never been signed to a record label however, they had a distribution deal which has since expired and the company went under. Apparently they put a CD up of my band on iTunes Store and items look to have been purchased as the Popularity "meter" is maxed out on some. Where the money is going outside of Apple's cut... who knows. But how can I get my band's music removed from iTunes' Store? I can't find contact numbers anywhere. Thanks for any help!!
Rachel

I forgot to mention that the distributors with who we have an expired contract are no where to be found. yikes.

How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

Hi empty,
Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....
Cheers,
GB

Settings removed from iTunes 8

Some settings that were in iTunes 7 appear to have been removed from iTunes 8, including:
- Song compression settings (e.g. bit rate)
- Removal of links to the iTunes Music Store from cells in the List view
Does anyone know if these settings are actually available? If so, where?
Thanks,
Ross

One thing that might help.
If the song compression that you mention is when you are importing off a cd, those settings are found in the preferences general pane. Then click the import settings button.
Hope this helps

I purchaseed an app monotoricamera but i cant find this application and this app removed from iTunes store what can i do for this problem?

i purchaseed an app monotoricamera but i cant find this application and this app removed from iTunes store what can i do for this problem? when i use report problem in purchase history " say to me this app is removed and i pay for that

Well, if you didn't keep it in your iTunes library, on your computer, & then back that data up, you're out of luck if it's no longer available in the App store.
Apple warns to backup your purchases for this very reason.

Finding nemo removed from itunes store again??

There have been a few posts about the quality of the film so it may be due to that, in which case it may re-appear at some point with a corrected version.

"Holy Cornholio" REMOVED from iTunes

The Beavis and Butthead episode "Holy Cornholio" (episode #4) has been removed from iTunes from the final season. I can download/view the other episodes I have purchased, but this one seems to no longer be in the iTunes database. What happened? How do I get a refund on the purchase if it is no longer going to be made available to those who purchased it??

You will need to ask the TV company why it's been removed, and whether they have any plans to put it back in your country's store - if you do get contact iTunes Support and if they reply you are likely to only be told that it's not in the store, and they won't know if it will be put back.

Why when I removed smart playlists from my iPhone are they removed from iTunes?

So I was trying to remove some playlists from my iPhone then reload them so the sort order would be correct. But after I removed the playlists from my phone then synced with iTunes, the playlists were removed from iTunes. Why? Can they be recovered? I had a few I really liked.

Hi Makki28,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iPhone. If you are having issues with incomplete transfers of your purchases from your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, you may want to double check that you are following the steps as outlined in the following article:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
If you are still having incomplete albums, you may also want to try directly redownloading the purchases from within iTunes, as noted in this article:
Download past purchases - Apple Support

I have recently had some music files removed from itunes. The originals are still on my ipod. How do i restore these missing items to my itunes......

I have recently had some music files removed from itunes. This was not supposed to happen! However the originals (consisting largely of playlists) ae still on my ipd and I do not want to do any syncing until I have resolved the issue. Is there any way to restore these missing tunes from the ipod to my itunes? Grateful for any input........

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
NOTE: Songs previously purchased from the iTunes Store can also be re-downloaded at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

Podcast removed from the iTunes directory as a result of technical problem

I received an email from iTunes informing me that my feed:
http://www.mevio.com/feeds/d4emixtape.xml
Had been removed from the iTunes directory because the feed had some sort of technical issue. I've checked the feed a couple of ways including using Feed Validator and all seems to be working ok.
I tried to resubmit the feed, but I get an 'It appears the feed had already been submitted' error.
There is a duplicate feed that was being used from a different server (Odeo), but I stopped using that about four years ago. I have requested that feed to be removed.
I've contacted Apple Support to get the current feed back on iTunes, but that hasn't been any help.
Any advice on what I can do to get the my podcast feed back in iTunes?

Your feed appears to be technically OK. When the iTunes removes a podcast it usually says 'technical reasons', whatever the actual reason may be. One possible reason for removal is suspected copyright violations, and it's possible (I'm not saying this actually is the case) that they are concerned that your 'mixes' contain copyright material for which you don't have either the written permission of the copyright owner or a podcast licence from a recognized authority. As I say, I just mention that as a possibility to consider.
As to resubmitting: the title of your feed is 'D4E Hip Hop Mixtape' and there is already a podcast of that name showing in the Store (though it's looking for the feed which you have removed). Even if that one gets removed, you are still likely to get the same error - there appears to be a minor bug in the Store software which claims that a podcasts has already been submitted even if either the podcast hasn't been accepted previously or if one of the same name has been removed.
To get round this you need to make a small change in the title - a single character would probably do - and resubmit. You can always change the title back once it's been accepted.
As to removing the old podcast, did you follow the procedure outlined here?

Podcast removed from the itunes store after 4 years

Hi
At the moment I think apple really suck big time. After building up a successful presence in the itunes store with my podcast I feel all my hard work has been in vain. Today I received an email saying that my podcast has been removed from the itunes store. This was obviously an automated email and just makes me angry that it has just been removed. My podcast has been in the top 200 music charts over the last few months so I was really pleased. I try to release an episode every month so it has always been regularly updated. I have also ran my feed through feedvalidator.org and this says that the feed is valid. Can someone please shed any light on this as I am really p****d off right now.
My feed is http://djsharky.podbean.com/feed
Any help would be great.
Also I know I had a number of reviews etc so have I lost everything that I have built up now?
Regards
Richard

Also this was the email I got:
Dear Podcast Owner
The following podcast has not been included in the iTunes podcast directory.
Name: DJ Sharky: The Trance & Electro Podcast
Feed URL: http://djsharky.podbean.com/feed/
Submissions may not be included in the directory for a variety of reasons. For more information, please see the podcast technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.
Sincerely,

Podcast removed from Store

Hi
I have had some problems with my server, so the feed was not availible for some time. Unfortunatly the podcast was removed from the iTunes store.
Now that the feed is online again I can't find it in iTunes Store.
If i try to Re-submit the podcast to the iTunes Directory, the feed appear to already bee in use, but still cannot be found in the Store.
The podcast is working if I enter the adress, but cannot be found by search.
Do anyone have an idea on how to get it back in the store?
the feed:
http://www.betaniakrs.no/podcast/rss.xml
Thanks for any help!

You've fallen over a bug in the automated part of the sumbissions process which tells you that the feed has already been submitted, even though it's been removed. The workaround is to change the title slightly - if you can change the feed filename as well that would help. You can always change the title back once it's been accepted.
