Problem with RSS Feed & iTunes U

Hello:
The following RSS feed passes feedvalidator with two minor errors, and other feeds have these similar two minor errors but work with iTunes U.
But, the following feed doesn't work with iTunes U.
http://www.kued.org/productions/utahnow/?action=videocast&cat=4
Any suggesitons?

An additional note: the error message iTunesU is returning is:
Error
iTunes U could not update the content in this group because iTunes U could not download the specified RSS feed. Verify that the RSS feed specified in the Feed URL is available, and then try again.
Clearly the feed is "available", and is in fact error free:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kued.org%2Fproductions%2 Futahnow%2F%3Faction%3Dvideocast%26cat%3D4
I've been through the feed pretty thoroughly and cannot see what in it could be giving iTunesU grief.

Problem with RSS feeds in AppleMail

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have several RSS feeds that come in through AppleMail. Every so often, it stops receiving all of the feeds (I get an explanation point next to the the RSS header). After a day or so, it will start receiving feeds again. I have no problem getting e-mails... just my RSS feeds. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I have just experienced the same problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. A couple of days ago (just after I had upgraded to Aperture 3 - not sure if that's relevant) the exclamation mark appeared next to all the Mailboxes for my RSS feeds, and has not disappeared. If I click on the exclamation mark I get the message "there was an error updating the RSS feed 'Apple Hot News'. The RSS feed is temporarily unavailable because an internal error occurred".
I have tried shutting down, and deleting the RSS plist - with no effect.
Other details - the problem exists on a MacBook Pro, running Sno (v 10.6.2 - all updates applied) and Apple Mail v4.2. I can send / receive regular email. I also have an iMac (also running Sno 10.6.2 and Apple Mail v4.2) - RSS feeds work fine on this machine. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router.
Grateful for any help. Thanks

I have read up, and am still having problems with RSS Feed

Greetings Everyone.
I really need some help with my RSS feed before I go insane. I would like to think I know what I am doing, but obviously there is some little (or big!) step I am overlooking.
Ok here is my site: www.drewernst.com it is hosted by asmallorange.com
My pocast is at www.drewenst.com/podcast
This is the rss feed iWeb generated: feed://www.drewernst.com/podcast/The%20Jeff%20and%20Drew%20Podcast/rss.xml
Now, from everything I have read so far - it seems that as long as you get the URL right when you are publishing to a folder, iWeb should do the rest. Also, it is important to put the whole folder containing your podcast in your root web folder otherwise it breaks the feed. Both of these things I have done. (obviously not correctly, or it would be working!)
I read Many tutorials and topics I could find about this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. Apple suggests taking the RSS feed an pasting it into itunes under Advanced menu "subscribe to podcast" to make sure your feed is valid before submitting to itunes.
When I do this, I get an message saying "there was a problem downloading... An unknown error occurred (-50).
I tried using a feed validator and it came back with so many errors. I just don't know that much about RSS, but i have been working on this for about a month and it's driving me crazy. No one I have asked at the apple store has been any more helpful than to suggest I just buy a .mac account and do it from there(honestly the nerve. wink.) I don't need .mac, I have my own website.
Thanks in advance.
Mr. Rss Crazy,

Oh, I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anything important out, please just ask...I will be watching this like a hawk.

So, my web-host said that it's a problem with the RSS feed, not there hosting.
They pointed me to "Feed Validator" which I looked at before. I have a lot of errors.

Shouldn't Garageband and iWeb have taken care of these errors. I don't even know how I would correct them. I thought this was supposed to be a 1-2-3 process, like the documentation of both programs said.
Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I am just frustrated.

Problems with rss feeds in Firefox.

When i enter an rss feed url into firefox, it automatically switches to safari to open the url. Firefox is my default browser; I am trying to set up rss feeds in Firefox. How do I prevent this from happening so that these urls will open in Firefox?

When I enter its URL in iTunes, it doesn't reject my feed, but nothing happens. I can see the URL instead of my Podcast's title, like on this caption : http://younderboy.free.fr/caption.jpg
Help me please, I don't understand where is the problem ! Thanks a lot...

Go to this site - http://feedvalidator.org/
And give it your feed URL.

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

I downloaded an HD movie onto my laptop from i-tunes. It plays fine on my laptop, but when I plug in my HD projector, the movie quits. When I unplug the projector, the movie starts again. I have never had a problem with projecting an itunes movie before this. Someone told me that i-tunes changed something so that movies can no longer be projected. We have a home theatre and have watched movies this way quite regularly, so it would be a drag if Apple will prevent us from doing this in the future.

I don’t know about projection, but I’m unable to watch HD content in iTunes because my Apple 30-inch Cinema Display is not HDCP-compliant (which is part of an HD copy-protection scheme).
The other movies you’ve projected, were they HD as well? If not, it could be the same problem: your projector is not HDCP-compliant.

Has anyone with the iPhone had a problem with 7.3 itunes?

I'm curious to know if people who bought the iphones have had the same problems with 7.3 itunes that seems so prevalent on the discussion board (like getting the error message in saving the library file, or frequent crashes).
I'd love to know, because if not, then it seems as if 7.3 is designed specifically for the iPhone (supposedly the iPhones only works with 7.3), and that may be why the rest of us non-iphone consumers are having a miserable time with the upgrade.
Can you iphone people let us know?
thanks.

I have an iPhone and since I've upgraded to 7.3, iTunes constantly stops responding and I've had to force quit. I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and deleted the iTunes preferences in my library file and while this works for 1 or 2 times, it soon does it all over again. Help!

Has any one had problems finding RSS feeds after upgrading to 10.8?

RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The forum for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is this one:

Problem submitting RSS feed

I am trying to launch my podcast on iTunes, and I'm using a Soundcloud-generated RSS feed. But I keep getting an error message when I sumit it to iTunes: Invalid XML: Error on line 191:The reference to entity "a" must end with the ';' delimeter
The URL of the feed is http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:18637591/sounds.rss
I cannot understand how to fix this, and when I try to validate the feed, everything seems to be fine: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.soundcloud.com%2Fu sers%2Fsoundcloud%3Ausers%3A18637591%2Fs…
Does anybody understand what is the reason behind this error?

The URL you give redirects to http://utenfilter.net/feed/ when submitted to a feed validator, but when viewed in a browser it redirects to http://utenfilter.net/ which is a web page. When subscribing the URL you gave manually to iTunes the feed comes up empty but it works with http://utenfilter.net/feed/
Evidently the Store, like the iTunes application, is reading the web page version - this does have more than 191 lines and the coding on line 191 has an 'a' variable so that's evidently the error they are reporting. The real feed doesn't have as many as 191 lines.
You need to submit http://utenfilter.net/feed/ to the Store; the URL you initially gave is not useful (all these redirects are a quick way of causing problems).

Using a site in iWeb to publish to an external server - problems with RSS

Hi!
I have a rather odd problem. I have a .Mac account, but I also work for a non-profit organization that has asked me to handle their website. I would like to use iWeb to do that and am attempting to publish the site to an external server. However, I also want to use iWeb to publish my own personal account pages to .Mac.
I have the site up and running, and most everything works on it except the RSS feed. I typed the url into the Publish to Server dialogue, but it has been to no avail. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I am not publishing ALL of my sites to this server, just one of the sites. (When I invoke the Publish to Server command, it creates a master index and folders for each of the sites. Then, I have been discarding all of them except for the folder of the site I want to publish, which I have to name "public_html" to conform with our domain provider's requirements. This works great, except the RSS feed is broken when I do this.
I know I can use a seperate log-in account and re-make the entire webpage there, but I consider that to be a last resort and I am looking for a better method than this.
Any suggestions? The site is http://www.oatag.org
Thanks,

When you break the site structure by changing names of folders you also break the link for the RSS feed.
I find it hard to believe you are really required to change the name of the folder like that. Instead you should be inserting into the folder called public_html the following two things: the folder published by iWeb which has the same name as your site does inside iWeb, plus the index html file published alongside it. To make sure that this index.html file actually points to the site you are uploading, make sure this site is at the top of the list inside iWeb before publishing.
