Podcast shows up in iTunes Store but feed empty in iTunes

My podcast shows up perfectly in the iTunes store. All six episodes are there and up-to-date. But no matter what I do (subscribe, update, download all) the feed list in my iTunes program remains empty. Nothing gets downloaded...
Podcast URL: http://www.brug.nu/multimedia/diensten-gemist/?podcast
When I click on a single episode, it will download it to my iTunes\Downloads folder but will not copy it to the iTunes\Podcasts folder. All other podcasts work fine so it must be something wrong with this one.
What am I missing here?

Your iTunes Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/de-brug-eindhoven-kerk-voor-nu/id852875733
The episodes there play within the Store. However on subscribing it is looking for a feed at the URL you quoted above:
http://www.brug.nu/multimedia/diensten-gemist/?podcast
This is not a feed, it's a web page. Since your Store page works, you evidently had a working feed in the past, and the Store has cached this: but you have somehow substituted the web page at the same URL - unless you server is set up to respond with a web page when requested from a browser and should serve a proper when requested from iTunes. In any case, subscribing in iTunes doesn't work so it is evidently seeing that web page.
Incidentally the 'iTunes' link near the top of the page attempt to subscribe iTunes to the same web page; there is an RSS icon at the bottom of the page linking to an actual feed but this has only the header and no episodes.

Podcasts showing up in iTunes, but not in the podcasts on ipod! HELP!

I backed up my iTunes library onto CDs before getting a new computer. When I bought the new computer, I put all of the CDs onto it, and then began to use my ipod on the new computer. Ever since then, podcasts will download into the correct category in iTunes, but when I sync my iPod and then diconnect it, the podcasts category on my ipod is empty. I can find some of the podcasts by looking through the artists, but it's hit and miss. What can I do to make the podcasts download into the right category on my ipod? I'm totally frustrated.

With your iPod connected, select it in the left-hand side of iTunes and then click the Podcasts tab. Make sure it is set to sync the appropriate podcast episodes.

Why isnt my podcast showing up in itunes

Our geekshow podcast doesn't appear to be showing up in iTunes. Here is my feed: http://www.geekshowpodcast.com/podcast/thegeekshow.xml

Certainly searching on the title produces no result. The feed can be subscribed to, so there seems to be no problem there. Did you originally have the podcast in the Store? I can't see any immediately obvious reason why it should have been removed, but it does sometimes happen.
You may need to re-submit the feed; to do this you will need to make a small change to the title, or you will be told it's already been submitted. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.

Podcasts show up as on ipad, but won't open on ipad

When I sync my ipad, my podcasts show up in my library, and on the computer as being on the ipad, however when I go to the ipad, the icons are there, but when I tap them, they won't open.

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Quit the Music App and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

My podcast is updated in the store, but for some reason won't update to my Podcasts App or to my subscriptions in iTunes. Can anyone tell me why?

I've been producing a podcast for a while now, and just recently had this problem. I've updated the rss feed and loaded new episodes to the podcast, but for some reason the episodes are showing up in the iTunes store when you search for the podcast, but the "Podcasts" app on my iPhone isn't updating, and neither is my subscription to the podcast in my iTunes software.
Can anyone tell me my why the store has my latest episodes, but my subscriptions don't update and add them?

That is the correct feed URL.
The title for the episode of 4th February has an ampersand ('&') in it. You can't have an ampersand in an XML file such as a feed because it indicates the start of a code sequence which is never completed, thus rendering the entire feed unreadable in same readers. I'm surprised that the Store is coping with it - evidently the programming recognizes that it's within a tag; the iTunes application, which is a different program, isn't and so is showing no episodes as it can't read the feed.
You need either to replace the ampersand with the code
&
or the word 'and'.

Is it possible to make a podcast show up in itunes once it has been deleted, but the file is still in its folder?

Occasionally I will delete a podcast from the podcast menu, once I have listened to it, but then I would like to return it to its place so I can still listen to it again on my ipod. Is this possible? I have tried dragging the file into the itunes library, but it won't show up in its right place among the other podcasts.

Ok let me ask you IF the IT department of your workplace does NOT want OS X installed on "THEIR" (The Companies) computers because of what they think is some type of security issue why are you trying to go against their wishes and install OS X on a computer that is NOT owned by you.
That could cost you your job.
If you continue down this path you will screw up the Windows install and have to take the system back to the IT department to get it fixed. What do you think they will say at that point?
Do as you like but you would be better off just buying your own Mac computer if you are set on using OS X as your personal operating system.

Audio podcasts show synced in itunes but is not on ipod.

I connect my nano to itunes and try to sync audio podcasts by syncing under the podcast tab. itunes shows synced but podcasts are not on ipod. What can I do?

Where are you looking for these podcasts on the iPod?
Double check to make sure podcasts are configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.
Otherwise, are you getting any error messages when you sync your iPod Classic with iTunes?

Get a podcast into the right category? UK podcast show in Japan iTunes?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions.
I have uploaded 4 episodes of my podcast. It is showing in searches fine but not in any of the categories. I set them to language courses in the genre tag in the mp3. Is that the way to get them into the right place in the store?
My account is UK but my target audience is Japan. Will my podcast appear in the Japanese iTunes Store?
Thanks.

Searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
Incidentally setting categories in the MP3 tags has no effect: you need to set the category in the 'itunes:category' tag in the feed - please see:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#commontags
and scroll down to 'itunes:category'.
You should confine your choice of category to those listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
My account is UK but my target audience is Japan. Will my podcast appear in the Japanese iTunes Store?
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one: it may be a question of language but al you can do is to post it and then change the Store country (link at bottom of the iTunes Store page) and see what happens when you search.

Why does my iPad show all my Hotmail folders but each empty except for recently received messages?

Why does my iPad show my Hotmail folders but each is empty except for mail received since I activated my new device?

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Podcasts show up on iPod but not in iTunes

My (old) podcasts show up on my iPod, but they don't appear in iTunes. I can't delete those podcasts and I really want to throw them away. Could somebody help me?!

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

Some Podcast episodes not showing up in iTunes

Can anybody help? I've been using iWeb 1.1.1 without a hitch for awhile. The other day I updated to OS X 10.4.7. Made a change to something in iWeb, then published it. Now, only 3 of six podcasts show up in iTunes, shows 1, 4 and 6. Weird huh? Is this because of the OS X update? Anyone else experiencing this kind of problem?

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).

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.
Feed: http://www.thelegalseagull.com/feed/podcast
iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-legal-seagull-podcast/id886005819?mt=2
Thanks!

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

Podcast submitted but not showing up in iTunes

I submitted my podcast to iTunes two weeks ago. When I try to resbumit to iTunes, it says that the feed has already been submitted. But the podcast does not show up in iTunes when I search for it.
http://feeds.feedburner.com/IBozo
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

They probably just haven't got round to assessing it yet: I can't give you a hard and fast answer about how long it takes but 2-3 weeks seems perfectly possible. When it's been accepted you will get an email including a URL for the Store page.
Note by the way that the episode 'Drunken Sailors' has two 'enclosure' tags, both containing 'drunkensailor.mp3' but one from www.quass.com and one from Feedproxy. Only the first one will show in iTunes: multiple enclosure tags within one 'item' are not recognized. Otherwise the feed is apparently OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu).

Want to change podcast artwork: not showing up in iTunes Store

Hi. I want to change the icon/artwork for my podcast.
My website (created with iWeb) = www.manleywoman.com
My podcast in iTunes Store = Manleywoman SkateCast
I use Garageband to create my podcast, then save to iWeb, then save to iTunes. So I changed the artwork on the podcast itself in Garageband. That worked fine and shows up properly on my website and on the episode for which the artwork was changed. I thought that changing the artwork on the podcast RSS page of my website would automatically change it in the iTunes Store, but so far no luck.
Can someone walk me through how to make the proper artwork show up in the iTunes Store? Right now it's just a broken link. Thanks

You can update your artwork via feedburner.
1. Go to feedburner.com and log in to your account.
2. Click on your feed for the show.
3. Click on the OPTIMIZE tab at the top, then click SMARTCAST on the navigation bar to your left.
4. Under PODCAST IMAGE LOCATION you can add the url to the image you want to use (store it in your site folder somewhere).
You can also add in keywords, and description as well.
Hope that helps.
