Problem with iTunes getting episodes.. Feed is valid

Hi, I've been looking at the tech specs, copyed from that, copyed from a working feed, copyed just about everything but nothing seems to be working, i've got the feed down to the minimum and it validates and plays well in google reader however itunes says there are no episodes

cheers

I take it you're trying to use a php script to measure your downloads? The problem is that the enclosure URL like this http://www.northcast.co.uk/dev/blogCMS/download.php?file=2007-12-12.mp3 is seen by iTunes as a php file, which it can't podcast. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#tracking in the Tech Specs.

  • Just got a iMac love it but have had problem with iTunes gets stuck at m with syncing its stuck at "waiting to copy" any ideas

    Just got imac love it but have an issue with itunes gets stuck "waiting to copy" do I really need to return phone to orginal setting?

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • Problems with iTunes reading my feed...

    Hello all.
    Sorry to ask what is probably a very basic question here, but I have submitted my feed which all looks fine and was accepted:
    http://feeds2.feedburner.com/watchwithmothers/podcast
    But when I locate the podcast (searching 'watch with mothers') in the iTunes store, the podcast is there but a lot of the info that I put into my plugin (such as description, artwork etc...) is absent - even though it shows up in the feed.
    Also, I just checked and the only podcast I've uploaded isn't present in iTunes, though it's clearly displayed in the feed.
    Any direction would be appreciated...
    Thanks

    As you say, the podcast appears on the Store page but shows no image or episodes. Subscribing works correctly.
    I can't offer any easy explanation for this. Part of the difficulty may be Feedburner's peculiar way of going about things. The feed URL you give works for subscribing, but if entered into a browser produces a web page drawn from the feed. This page gives the actual feed URL as
    http://feeds2.feedburner.com/watchwithmothers/podcast?format=xml
    And it may be that while subscribing (which takes place in the iTunes application, not the Store) can parse the shorter version to reach the XML, the Store can't. This may be difficult to deal with, since if you try to submit the URL above you will be told that the podcast already exists.
    I can only suggest you approach iTunes Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/podcast/
    though I have to tell you that they are liable to give you a stock answer which won't address the problem. You might get better results by asking Feedburner.

  • I had problems with iTunes and supposedly got it fixed. Now I cannot get into my mail. It has changed my id to an unusable email address.

    I cannot get into my cloud mail. It wants me to log in with an email that no longer exists. I had this problem with iTunes also. I do not wish to use that address. I want to use the ID and password I have been using for the past 2 years.

    Click on that Apple Id and then Sign out from that Apple Id and try to Sign In with your New Apple Id and see if that works.

    Please help.... cannot get into the ITUNES account. It says unknown error has occured. Is there a problem with ITunes?

    Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help.  Thanks Apple for such a crappy update!  I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone.  Sheesh!  If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

    I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

    Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
    Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

  • Problems with iTunes syncing with Apple TV 1st gen

    all of a sudden today I am having problems with itunes 10.6.1 syncing with apple TV gen 1. Everything was fine when I upgraded itunes and iphoto 11.
    Today the apple TV shows up in devices but when I try to sunc it manually (it won't start autmatically even though it is supposed to,
    I get a message
    If you try to sync content your Apple TV (1st generation), this alert appears in iTunes: "The Apple TV '(Your Apple TV's name)' is not responding.  Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
    My firewall is turned off. I operate Lion on my laptop
    Please help. seems like I had this issue before but do not remember what caused this and how it was resolved

    I have a similar problem. ATV1 (3.0.2), itunes 10, connected via wireless time machine (hardwired to router) + airport express wireless extender. ATV showing in itunes menu. All TV shows, movies, music etc showing on ATV (not sync'd) EXCEPT 4 episodes of one TV show that was purchased as a series on iTunes (not on the ATV).
    I have also had the firewall error - intermittently.
    Have rebooted iMac. Have factory reset ATV and re-set up. Tried just sync'ing the 4 episodes I want to watch. No luck. Tried marking episodes as watched. No luck. rebooted everything. Twice.
    ATV1 accesses all other info on iTunes (music, movies etc).
    Infuriating.
    Any ideas?

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab.  Everything else seems to work okay in itunes.  I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

    I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone.  Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay.  The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps.  The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up.  I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added.  If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it.  I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there.  I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems.  HELP.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
    Have a nice day!

  • More problems with iTunes 9.1.0.79

    Hi,
    since I have had my iPhone I have upgraded itunes a couple of times and never had any problems until now.
    I upgraded to 9.1.0.79 two days ago and am having all sorts of issues.
    Now when itunes starts it takes ages.
    When my iphone is connected I get a message saying:-
    +itunes cannot sync information with the iphone 'iphone' because syncing has been disabled on this computer+
    I click the yes button to enable syncing and then receive an error message:-
    +itunes was unable to load provider data from sync services reconnect or try again later+
    I then click OK and my phone appears in the devices list.
    These error messages happen every time I start itunes, so by me clicking the yes button to enable syncing does absolutely nothing.
    My iphone will sync fine just that itunes tends to freeze up and is very slow.
    I run a diagnostic from the help menu and without my iphone connected it shows a red dot next to 'No iPhone or iPod found', which is correct but when I have my iphone connected this red dot is now orange, what is the difference in colour?
    I have turned of all anti-virus and firewall software but itunes is still the same, very unresponsive, so anti-virus/firewall is not the problem.
    I followed to the letter:-
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 and totally uninstalled everything and then reinstalled itunes only to find the same problem persisting.
    This is definitely a problem with itune 9.1.0.79 and apple should be addressing it pronto.
    Here is the data from the diagnostic run and it shows my iphone as not found even though it is connected, showing in devices and I can sync to it, wierd!!

    notice how under diagnostics readout it shows "most recent device not currently connected"
    mine does same thing and i have iphone connected when i do it.
    my problems also started with this update and i show 4 errors in event viewer which is under adminastrative tools in control panel.
    MY problem is super slow backups for a 16gb 3Gs with 12gbs free. a backup used to be done in like 30-45 seconds now takes about 5 minutes and looks as if it stals at a few points when looking at bar at top of itunes.
    my iphone shows up in itunes and shows all pages etc. i do everything manually although i do sync apps.
    everytime i connect iphone and open itunes i get 4 errors thats show up only in event viewer (but anyone who maintains computers should be aware of all tools available to them to see whats going on in the background) that show up for "BONJOUR" i have posted this here and under bonjour forum. i turned off bonjour services the proper way again thrru adminastrative tools>services double click bonjour and change for "automatic to "disabled". don't do it through msconfig as some would tell you to do if it's a bonjour issue.
    but checking out event viewer can give you valuable info so you don't do the apple nonsense wasting hours to clean up their messy installation only to have it do exact same thing again. it's obvoius they have a conflict.... now we can only hope for a resolution ie UPDATE if enough complain by sending them all this.
    i don't have a jailbreak phone nor am i rebuilding anything i'll live with it till they fix it as my event viewer log isn't getting filled up with bonjour errors anymore nor do i need all this bloated crap apple sends our way... i do have quicktime pro.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
