Post Approval, podcast is missing on itunes

I received a notification that the podcast has been approved and posted in iTunes under the following URL. But when I follow the URL and it opens up iTunes an error message appears that says the show isn't available in the US. I am able to manually add the show to my itunes and download episodes, but a search for the show results in "No results for "Podcast BHam & ATL show."" The podcast isn't vulgar and uses generic music not licensed to an artist. Can you please help me resolve the issue for BHam & ATL podcast. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

A number of people have complained recently that it's taking a lot longer than it should for newly accepted podcasts to appear in the Store. If your feed is OK there isn't really anything you can do except wait. You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you will probably just get a form answer telling you how to submit a podcast (which you already know).

Podcast image missing after iTunes 5.0.1 upgrade

After upgrading to iTUnes 5.0.1 the image associated with my podcast is missing. I have verified that the image still exists and that I can view it via a browser. Anyone else experience this?

I have the same problem in the iTunes Music Store Podcast Directory. I just noticed today that one of the two podcasts I manage suddenly has a missing image -- the other is fine. The image is still sitting happily on my server. Upgraded to iTunes 6 just now and the problem still exists.
I looked at the top 100 podcasts and see several with missing images -- This Week in Tech, Engadget, Nature Podcast...
Crazy and annoying! Here's the xml file for my podcast with (so far) a working image:
http://kayray.org/audiobooks/podcast.xml
and here's the one with the suddenly broken image:

Am I missing something?

Podcast file missing from itunes and ipod

I uploaded an mp3 file to my ipod and changed the media type from music to podcast. Now the file doesn't show up in any category of my ipod on itunes, and it doesn't show up anywhere on my ipod. However, if I do a search on the ipod for the name of the file, it shows up as a podcast and I can play the file, even though it doesn't show up in the podcast directory. If I can't find the location of the file, how can I delete it after I've listened to it? Syncing my podcasts made no difference.

Link to Podcast in iTunes Store Missing in iTunes 10

In previous versions of iTunes, there was a button at the right side of the "Podcast" column in list view. Clicking on this button would immediately take you to the podcast's iTunes store page where you could post a review, write a review, etc. This convenience is missing from iTunes 10.
If anyone knows of a workaround or a way to bring the button back, I would sure appreciate it!

I'm so glad to see this post here!!! When that little triangle disappeared in iTunes 10 I had a minor freak out. I have 83 different podcast feeds in my podcast list (I just counted -- that's even more than I thought I had, yeesh), and like others who commented here, I don't subscribe to all of them, but I want to check several of them on a regular basis. It's totally annoying to have to go to the store and search for the podcast each time.
I sort of wonder if it's a way to get us to navigate through the iTunes Store front page every time we want something from the podcast realm on there. In other words, is it maybe a sales tactic? Like putting chocolate bars at eye level for my kids at the supermarket checkout line?
At any rate, I'd love to see that feature back too. A LOT.

New submission: No approval email files appear in iTunes search not podcast

I have an existing podcast that works in iTunes with no problems.
I have recently submitted a new podcast to iTunes for approval using a feedsburner feed [which has since been rejected & I've stopped using feedsburner for this feed]
I have tried to re-submit using the primary xml file feed & it states "This has already been submitted"
If I try to search for the podcast I get a link to the #00 Promo file we used to create the feed etc to play/stream but no link to the actual podcast that you would normally see in the podcast listing.
I have tried to subscribe using the feed xml only & that appears to work but I still need an iTunes link so I can promote the podcast.
The podcast is called Cable Wasteland if anyone wants to try & test the issue.

There seems to be a bug in the Store whereby if you submit a podcast and get it rejected, then correct the problem and submit again, you are told that the podcast has already been submitted.
The only way round this is probably to change the title of the podcast slightly (you can always change it back once it's up and running) - you could also change the filename of the feed (as long as you keep the .xml extension) - these adjustments will make it look like a new podcast.

HT1819 I noticed that some of my podcast are missing from the iTunes store. What is the cause of that?

I noticed that some of my podcast are missing from the iTunes store. What is the cause of that?

That suggests that the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts. Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Doesn't happen every time. Using Windows 7. What can I do?

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

My podcast is available in iTunes but picture is not working

pictures uploaded and xml is also correct
picture was shown as i send it to itunes
after podcast is in itunes there is no picture

Your link to FeedValidator leads somewhere else entirely.
FeedValidator says the feed is valid: it throws up two points:
line 234, column 0: Missing atom:link with rel="self"
You can ignore this - it's to do with the ancient 'Atom' feed reader which few peple use.
line 234, column 0: Missing recommended iTunes channel element: itunes:explicit
You don't need the 'explicit' tag unless you have strong or sexual language in your podcast. If you do, it should be present and set to 'yes'.

Lyrics Tab is Missing in iTunes 12

The lyrics tab is missing in iTunes 12. Many of my podcasts use that to list the tracks for long mixes. I can open those podcasts in a 3rd party player & access the data still. Why is it gone now?

exactly! the lyrics tab is one of the most important things for me and i guess anyone who listens to long mixes (as you have already mentioned). my fav tracks from hundreds of mixes are in the lyrics tab.
what third party software are you using to retrieve the data?

Updating my podcast to new location, iTunes not recognizing new feed(48hrs)

Hi Podcasters,
I've been googling and reading about this the past few hours but I'm still at a loss. On Monday I moved my podcast - Pod Stories: Tales for everyone, which has been on iTunes since May 2007, to a new location. It's is the first time I've done this. The podcast and all the files therein is now located in my Sites folder on my iDisk.
Upon moving I changed my cover art and republished the audio files using the Podcast Maker software. It automatically 'pinged' to iTunes once completed.
It's been 48hrs and there is still no update on iTunes. I did the ping posted by Roger Wilmut1 using my iTunes i.d and it still came back stating the old url. I then did the second ping to the feed directly and it said podcast does not exist..?
I've read on Apple about a new feed URL command but to the life of me I really don't get it or understand how it's supposed to be done. Podcast Maker does everything for me and I can't read the raw .xml file.
It would be fab if someone in-the-know could help me out or explain things in a way I can grasp I am a techy but when it comes to coding/commands etc it's all a blur
My iTunes specific podcast number is: 253350746
My latest feed from Podcast Maker is: feed:file:///Volumes/io.creative/Sites/Pod-stories/podstories.xml
Cheers in advance. Hope this can be fixed up soon....
Marc

Hi Roger,
I made the change the day you posted the reply to this post. So it's been 5 days already...
The URLs I copied into the original post came from Podcast Maker, I just pasted directly from the software. The new URL/feed is the io.creative one - the address is on my iDisk which I got with my Mac Me.com account.
Podcast Maker allows to feed directly to the 'sites' folder in the iDisk, does it automatically. The old URL feed is on a friend's company server. But now that I have this iDisk I thought best to move over the podcast to there.
Thanks for the example. So i paste it into the top line of the channel section in the old .xml file? Do I leave the original feed address in the file or replace it with the new one? This area is not very clear in the Apple docs online.
I have both podcasts at the Lemonz website
New Feed:
http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcasts/?feed=http://homepage.mac.com/io.creative/Po d-stories/podstories.xml
Old Feed:
http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcasts/?feed=http://www.larasethno.com/podcast/pods tories.xml
Of course at present the new feed is not yet on the iTunes directory.
Cheers, Marc

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.

HELP!! "timed out" submiting video podcast through iweb to itunes

I am trying to submit a vid podcast through iweb to itunes and am getting a timed out message. Please help. I have read other posts similar to my problem, and have checked to see that all of my fields are filled in. Don't know what the deal is. thanks for the help.

This is what I received from iTunes help:
Dear Eric,
The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand,
it may take a week or two before the podcast is published.
I'm sorry to hear you received an error when you tried to publish a
podcast to the iTunes Store. If you are re-submitting a podcast for
review, the iTunes Store may detect the submission as a duplicate and
generate an error message stating that the feed has already been submitted.
You can follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
1) Change the title and link fields of the RSS feed to something other
than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the
title and link fields back to what they were.
There are several less-common reasons iTunes might have displayed this
error:
* The podcast's RSS feed was not available.
* The podcast's RSS feed timed out.
* The podcast's RSS feed could not be validated.
If you are the podcaster, make sure your podcast is available on the
Internet. Your podcast's RSS feed also should conform to the iTunes
extended podcast RSS specification.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple
Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues.
Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page:
http://discussions.apple.com
If you are not the podcaster, please contact the podcaster and direct
them to our specification.
Thank you for your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a great day.
Sincerely,

How Long does it take for a NEW PODCAST to appear in iTunes?

I was curious if maybe you know the answer to this question- How long does it take for a brand new podcast, once submitted to iTunes, to appear in the podcast section of iTunes? Does it really take 5 days? And, will I receive an email once it's on there? Thanks!
-hdtvguru

Hi,
I found the answer to this question after doing two podcasts.
It takes about week and half to be fully listed. When you first submit you receive an automated email. Emailed to the email address of your podcast feed. Then your podcast page is created for itune store and you receive another email that it's approved. You should receive this email sometimes two days after you received the first but it still won't be browse able until another few weeks(ie. listed in category). In the mean time don't remove your podcast feed file from your hosting account and don't make changes which will change the link to the feed you submitted.
The only other part I couldn't figure out was why podcasts episodes don't come up when keywords from episode sections of podcast feed are typed in itune search box.
-keep on keepin' on

How is the podcast functionality different on iTunes 11?

I have refrained from updating after hearing that podcasting works substantially different in v11, and this is my main use for iTunes. Any details will be greatly appreciated!

Don't upgrade.
Fast Forward doesn not work with podcasts.
I have same problem with iTunes 11 and podcasts (see all the other posts). With earlier iTunes I can drag the "thing" or diagnonal not sure what to call it, but I could drag it and go to any point in a podcast. Now it doesn't work, I have to listen to the whole podcast, I can't skip thru parts. If you try, the user interface just puts you back to the point you were in the podcast.
specifically for NPR Wait Wait don;t tell me, and John Hendrickson Dead PodCast, neither work with iTunes 11
Major issue for me. Why would they do this???
