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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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?

  • Entire Podcast Deleted from Store

    I established a podcast page for Party Favorz in March of 2008. Since then, I've changed the feed once without any problems. Earlier, I was notified by one of my members that they could no longer download my latest episode and in fact my entire page was missing from iTunes. I've since validated it and re-submitted it, which I suppose is fine. However, I will lose all of my comments and have to send out an email to everyone to re-subscribe and change all the links to my podcast on my various pages I use to promote my work. I guess my question is "What happened?" I don't understand that after all this time my entire page just disappeared. If anyone who has had a similar circumstance or can provide additional information as to why this happened and how to prevent it in the future, that would be greatly appreciated.

    One of the reasons that podcasts can be rejected (though if this was the case they should have sent you an email) is unlicenced use of copyright material. Does your podcast include commercial recordings for which you have not either obtained written permission from the copyright holders or a podcast licence from a recognized authority? If so this could be a reason for rejection. If in fact you have such permissions or licence you could try contacting support to explain this:

  • Sync mess - purchased books removed from store will not sync

    From other discussions I have discovered that I am not alone in not being able to sync pdf's from my iPad to other devices. As well as pdfs not synching, I have just discovered that purchased books won't sync if Apple has dropped the titles. I recently bought a new iPhone and noticed that it had synced from my iPad all my purchased books less one and none of my pdfs. When I checked out the missing purchased book I discovered that it had been removed from the store. Therefore, purchased books, like apps, are not available from the cloud and so can't be synced if they are no longer current.

    You probably only downloaded the hd version. The iPod classic only plays sd. Go to your purchases in the iTunes Store and download the ad version. It should work fine.

  • Why was some music removed from store?

    I saw the The Mighty Underdogs' CD's have been removed from the iTunes store.  Anybody have any clue why?  I was going to purchase yesterday and only two videos and a few singles were available.  Weird.

    I am not sure why you think it is weird.  Retailers, including iTunes, have stuff going on and off sale all the time. 
    I haven't seen any news particularly about Underdogs, but it could possibly relate to licensing, distribtuion strategy, pricing issues, or many other reasons.

  • Podcasts - removing from phone but leaving on computer.

    Hi all
    How do I remove a podcast from my phone but leave it in iTunes on my computer?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I have the same problme. I subscribe to 5 podcasts which are downloaded automically weekly or daily and whilst I have them as 'sync all unplayed episodes only' the played podcsts remain in my iphone rather then being deleted. Hence using up my iphone capacity.
    Is there a easy way to remove these from my iphone?

  • Restoring apps removed from store

    I'm looking to buy a new iPad (I still have iPad 1... Yeah, yeah, I know). However, not all of the apps I purchased previously are still available in my iTunes store (comiXology, for example). If I buy a new iPad and set it up, will I be able to restore those apps even though they are no longer available in my local store?
    Thanks.

    I don't know. I believe specific regional app stores choose whether or not an app is made available and remains available. I think it's on Apple.
    Apple rarely makes the decision to remove an app, unless it contains "questionnable" content.  The reason apps are not available in all stores by region/store is more often dicated by governmental restrictions.  Or as I mentioned above, because the app developer themselves removed the app because they would/could not keep up with the current iOS version.
    And don't forget that Apple makes 30% from App Store purchases.......

  • Podcasts removed from iPod Touch and not synchronised

    I downloaded several podcasts (A-Z Climbing) directly to my iPod Touch via iTunes and watched them with no problems; however, as soon as I connected and synched my iPod all the episodes were removed and iTunes now refuses to put them back because it says they are incompatible! I watched them, so how can they be incompatible!
    I'm presuming its because they are HD, but why restrict access if they work?
    The only time I will ever watch these is if I'm travelling, I don't want to sit and watch them on my PC at home.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    You cannot.  That is the point fo a passcode.
    You will have to restore.

  • "Podcasts" missing from Store front page

    Does anyone know why Apple made this change? When you scroll down there's no Podcasts category, and there's no Podcasts button next to "Music" "Movies" etc. across the top. The only way I can see podcasts in the iTunes store is to search for specific topics and scroll through the results. Very weird if you ask me, podcasts are one of the main things I download. They used to be listed next to other categories in the iTunes store, and now they aren't even listed on Apple's "itunes charts" website.

    The link is only there when upgrades are available.

  • Need to move podcast feed from MobileMe hosting to DreamHost

    I apologize if this has been covered, I could not find anything on the forum however to help. I currently host a podcast through MobileMe. I've created the podcast site through GarageBand/iWeb. I want to continue using the iWeb site, but host it on DreamHost (for reasons of disk space, etc). I have purchased a new domain name (talesfromthemousehouse.com) from DreamHost and wish to "migrate" the iWeb site to this new domain. Plus, I want to move the podcast feed along with it, so that all my old episodes etc goes to the new host, and the only thing my listeners will notice is that the site has a new address (www.talesfromthemousehouse.com). Now...I've yet to find anyone or anything that can properly help me, including Apple support. What I thought should be an easy task has turned out to be quite a nightmare. My podcast feed is: http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    Can anyone help? I know that (from the Apple podcast documentation), I need to insert some code <itunes:new-feed> or something, but WHERE? Nothing tells me HOW to access the stuff to edit in iWeb/MobileMe. I would love to get this done as soon as possible, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks! Al

    I'm working with fairly minimal information here: as I understand it your original feed was
    http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    This feed does not contain the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag. Did you put a tag in it and then remove it?
    iTunes shows your podcast in the Store at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tales-from-the-mouse-house/id371928528
    However it's looking for a feed at http://talescast.com/ so presumably this is the URL you entered in the redirect tag?
    However, it's not a feed - it's the Personal Domain referral to your web page at
    http://talescast.com/Site_4/Home.html
    As this is a web page and not a feed, iTunes can't read it. You have now painted yourself into a corner: as you need to enter the redirect tag in a feed to get iTunes to redirect, and iTunes can't read a feed at the UTRL you gave it, you can't redirect it.
    You now have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
    The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

  • 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.

  • Podcast removed by iTunes Store, re-submission gets no response

    I get an alert from [email protected] back in Oct '08:
    "Your podcast has been removed from the iTunes Store because no new episodes have been added in the past several months.
    If you feel that the material in the podcast remains relevant to iTunes users, please feel free to resubmit the podcast here:"
    So, I re-submitted the feed (I'm using Feedburner) last Oct, & didn't get a email response from Apple ("we are considering your submission"). I just got around to trying again & I'm getting "It appears the feed has already been submitted".
    How do I get in touch with Apple to get this "bottleneck" solved?
    ========
    Feedburner gets the feed from my Blogger blog:
    http://susy06.blogspot.com
    I actually setup another feed (therefore, using a different feed address). I got the same "It appears the feed has already been submitted". ?? I don't get this at all..

    Try making a small change to the title (you can always change it back afterwards) and see whether you can submit it with that.

Maybe you are looking for
