Problems resubmitting podcast

I am having problems with resubmitting a podcast. I submitted it 4 days ago and still don't see it in iTunes. It's been a podcast for 5 years, but was down since July because it was on the .mac server, so I had to switch to another host. (The old title was Evolutions of Astrology). I use Podcast Maker to publish each episode, and have had no problems before. The feed is http://www.denadecastro.com/podcast/podcast.xml
Thank you,
Dena

'Publishing' and 'Submitting' are two different things. As long as your podcast was running you could simply add episodes to the feed and the Store would pick them up.
As your feed was evidently offline for a period it would seem the podcast has been removed from the Store - this is normal enough. Now you have to re-submit it at
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
Is this what you are doing? If the title is the same as before you may get an error message saying it's already been submitted and you will need to change the title slightly. You should gete an acknowledgement email on submitting, but it can take several weeks for it to be accepted.

Problems downloading podcasts.........

Just installed the latest version of iTunes and all the podcasts I subscribed to I can no longer download. I get the following error message
+"There was a problem downloading 'podcast'. An unknown error occurred(-39).+
+Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is is active and try again."+
Strange thing is though it only applies to the ones I subscribe to. Any other podcasts I can download like normal. I've even tried unsubscribing then subscribing again but this still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

I too am having that problem in much the same configuration!
I managed to get my podcastings by continuasly asking the Itunes to download.
Rughly about 20 times-
Dont anyone know what couses the problem!

HT1351 Having problems downloading Podcasts to Nano. I had the Nano checked at the Genius Bar- OK. Reinstalled iTunes. Any suggestions?

Having problems downloading Podcasts to my Nano. I re-installed iTunes but that didn't help. I am not very computer literate. Can anyone help?

Nevermind, I finally figured it out. There was a different screen on iTunes.

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error

Having problems getting podcast on iTunes, tried to resubmit and got an already submitted error. How can I get the podcast on iTunes?

You didn't need to get it removed: you can make any changes to a feed that you want, changing, adding or deleting episodes, and iTunes will pick them up.
However, in the present situation you have fallen over a bug in the submissions process. The workaround is changing the title; as this hasn't worked you need to change the feed URL if possible, and also you could change the contents of the 'link' tag.
If you can't get it sorted you could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking them to reinstate you (give them all the details) - their responses are a bit variable, but they may help you.

Problem Synching Podcasts of type Quicktime

I see others have been having problems synching podcasts as well. I pulled these podcasts from the iTunes store (free) and am surprised that they won't synch. (Tekzilla - episode "Windows Thumbnail Generator") I understand that some aren't created for iPods but **aren't all the ones at the iTunes store expected to work on the iPod??** They are working within iTunes, but I'd like them on the iPod with out have to do that lengthy conversion.
I have tried running the diagnostics and I get the message that "one or more of the synch tests has failed", when I click on help it takes me to a useless web page showing me the exact error I got, but not how to fix it. **Has anyone else had this error message?** I just set this up today, after dloading all the latest software. I have been able to synch my music and MP4 podcasts.
Cheers.

I understand that some aren't created for iPods but *aren't all the ones at the iTunes store expected to work on the iPod??*
It seems not... Radiohead's In Rainbows podcasts for example won't sync without conversion. Perhaps the classic accepts a smaller subset of video formats than earlier iPods or the podcasting guidelines don't specify exactly which sub-formats can be used. Like you I'm surprised to find podcasts that won't sync but the responsibility here is with the publisher rather than the iTunes store.

Problems with podcast information

Apologies if all of this is obvious, am very much a novice.
After a few problems, my podcast is finally up on Itunes.
http://www.jilt.org.uk/Podcast/rss_new.txt
Much to my frustration, however, there is:
i) no description
ii) no sub-categories
iii) no image ( this is confusing because the picture DOES emerge when you subscribe to it)
Would really appreciate any help. Is there any way I can address these problems without editing XML? I have done this through Iweb and basically don't have a clue how to edit XML although assume that it isn't impossible!

There's no point in your editing the XML because iWeb will simply over-write any changes you make next time you add an episode. You have to add the description in iWeb itself. There should be a place where you can insert text to appear as the description; and the categories are probably set in the page inspector. However I'm not very familiar with iWeb and I would suggest you ask in the iWeb forum where you can get a response from people who actually use it.

Problems syncing podcasts between iPhone and iTunes

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3gs to an iPhone 4s. However I am now experiencing problems sycing podcasts through iTunes. When I have played a podcast on the iPhone and then sync it still shows as unplayed on iTunes. The played podcasts also remain on the iPhone after the sync even though I have set it to only sync unplayed podcasts.
Appreciate any advice - this has only started happening since getting the iPhone 4s (it worked perfectly on the 3gs).
Thanks in advance

Bump.
Anyone provide any insight into this?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Resubmitting podcast after removal because of errors

I am using a Wordpress plugin to make my podcast feeds and for a while it was generating feeds that had errors in it and my feed was removed from iTunes. I fixed the errors and when I try to resubmit the feed I get an error 'It appears the feed has already been submitted'. How do I resubmit my feed to iTunes?

Hi Roger was wondering if you knew of a way to resubmit a podcast. I received the e-mail from support stating my feed had technical problems. I have debugged my xml file and now have all episodes working after slight fix. I am able to test the feed directly in Itunes, but if I try to submit is says already submitted. The below e-mail referenced a podcast submission page, but the link will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dear podcast owner,
The podcast located at the URL shown below has been blocked or removed from the iTunes directory as a result of technical problems with the feed. Name: Gamer Girls Gone Wild Podcast
Feed URL: http://www.rsspect.com/rss/gggwpnetwork.xml If you wish to reactivate your podcast in the iTunes directory, please troubleshoot your feed and check the functionality of each episode. To test your podcast, start iTunes, select Subscribe to Podcast from the Advanced menu, and enter your feed URL in the dialog box. If you can successfully subscribe to your podcast and listen to each of the episodes, you can reactivate your podcast by resubmitting the feed using the Submit a Podcast page,https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast. For more information on troubleshooting feed problems and controlling the appearance of your podcast on iTunes, please see the podcast FAQ at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/faq.html and technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.
Sincerely, The iTunes Store team

HT3311 Problem submitting podcast (hosted on GoDaddy) to i Tunes Store - host parameter null

Why do I get following reply from iTunes Store when I attempt to publish my podcast:
"We had difficulty reading this feed. Host parameter is null." ?
This is my podcast website:
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Podcast/Podcast.html
I have validated the following feed with Feed Validator. It is ok. (there are some minor suggestions for changes which should not be criical)
http://www.einarpetterson.org/Ars_et_Medicina/Podcast/rss.xml
When I write this feed URL in the box for suscribing to podcasts in ITunes (Advanced/Suscribe to podcast menues), iTunes finds my podcasts and downloads them successfully (and fast). All the podcasts downloaded that way work fine.
So, if the rss reed is validated, and works in iTunes, why am I not able to publish my podcasts in iTunes Store?
My hosting service is GoDaddy.com.   I see from other articles on this support forum (Apple) and on GoDaddy´s support forum, that other people have had the same problem.   Sometimes their problem apparently just disappeared (and iTunes Store finally just stopped writing "We had difficulty reading this feed. Host parameter is null" everytime they tried to submit their podcasts to iTunes. I have now tried submitting this and other podcasts (hosted on GoDaddy) many, many times for several days, but always get the same irritating negative message.
Does anyone out there understand what the problem could be?   As far as I can see from reading other descriptions of this same problem, no one has yet provided an adequate explanation of what is causing this "glitch" (as some call it).
I want to publish several podcast series on iTunes Store which are now hosted on GoDaddy.com.   Many other MobileMe users like me, will in the next 30 days have to move their websites from MobileMe to other hosting services.   GoDaddy.com is a large hosting service.   This problem might appear often during the next month. I therefore believe that Apple and GoDaddy should attempt to find out why this problem occurs, and do something about it.   It seems from other descriptions of this problem, that it often occurs with people using GoDaddy hosting service. Have not read or analyzed all descriptions of this problem on the net, but there are enough descriptions to support a hypothesis that there is some communication difficulty between iTunes Store and GoDaddy hosting service. (? - at least some others have made this hypothesis, like I do)

TEST OF SUBMISSION OF 16 RSS FEEDS TO ITUNES STORE "SUBMIT PODCAST" PAGE
I have now tested all my podcast rss feeds which are now stored on GoDaddycom hosting service in three ways:
1) Feed validator
2) iTunes (Menu: Advanced/suscribe to podcast)
3) iTunes Store "Submit Podcast Page"
Results:
All 16 rss feeds are valid according to Feed Validator. There are some small insignifcant suggestions for improvements which are not critical.
All 16 rss feeds function in iTunes (Advanced/suscribe to podcasts)
None of the 16 rss feeds can be successfully submitted to iTunes Store "submit podcast" page. The same error occurs in all cases:
"We had difficulty reading this feed. host parameter is null"
The following 5 of these 16 podcasts were submitted while the websites were hosted by MobileMe. No problems with submission. All accepted and now on iTunes. These podcast sites are now transferred to GoDaddy.com (with same domain as earlier - einarpetterson.org - and all function. I can change pages, make alterations etc.
Here are the 5 rss feeds.

The following 11 podcasts now hosted on GoDaddy webhosting service can not be submitted successfully to iTunes Store despite the fact that their rss feeds are validated by Feed Validator and work on iTunes (and probably on most other rss readers)

THIS PROBABLY MEANS THAT IT IS EITHER VERY DIFFICULT, OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE WHO IS USING GODADDY.COM AS A WEBHOSTING SERVICE (WITHOUT USING THEIR VIRTUAL OR DEDICATED SERVER OPTIONS WHICH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE) TO PUBLISH ANY PODCASTS ON ITUNES STORE.
I may have made some error in my submission to ITunes Store, but do not think so. If anyone discovers that I have made a simple and stupid error, please tell me. If I have not made an error, one should probably not use GoDaddy.com as a webhosting service if one ever wants to publish podcasts to iTunes Store.
It would be interesting to hear if anyone in this forum who is using GoDaddy.com webhosting service has recently (or ever) managed to succesfully submit a rss feed to iTunes Store submit page. If so, I would like to hear about it.

Problem with podcasts in playlists

I have a smart playlist set that plays only stuff put on my ipod that day - back in the old days (a couple of weeks ago) I used to be able to listen to music, and newly downloaded podcasts, all from the same playlist. Now, although everything added shows up in the playlist, when I highlight the playlist and click play, no podcasts play. I have to go in and choose each one individually, thus I have to keep selecting specific podcasts - they don't automatically play. The same is true when I click play on the built in "podcasts" playlist - nothing happens. I am assuming this is a consequence of the buggy new firmware, but I'm hoping someone has the same issue and/or workaround.
Thanks for your time,

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out this problem as well. I'm a late software adopter, and this problem never came up.
Me, I use smart playlists and on-the-go playlists all the time to play podcasts and music, and this is a problem that they've fixed that, in fact, never was a problem before. In fact, if I now have to go into my podcasts and decheck EACH FILE's "skip during shuffle" toggle, it's going to be particularly more work- I'm quite unhappy about it.
Somehow, I don't recall a single podcast coming up in shuffle before- and if it did, it certainly wasn't a bother to simply skip it. I hate reverting to 1.1- I love every other feature in 1.2. But this playlist shuffle is ridiculous- and utterly pointless.
Anybody else find anything else that can be done about it?

"There was a problem downloading podcast. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

Hello everyone,
When I try to download the latest episode of my podcast feed, I see an exclamation mark next to the episode. When I click on the exclamation mark for more information, I see the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading <podcast_episode>. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
I was hoping that somebody might take a look at my feed and review the code for any potential problems. It can be found here:
http://www.stereogol.com/audio/wimpy_podcast.php
Important notes:
1. This is not XML code. It is an XML generator created in PHP.
2. This feed used to work fine in iTunes. I had many episodes already downloaded.
3. I began noticing the problem after upgrading to iTunes version 7 and beyond.
4. I know at least 3 other people that experienced the same problem with my feed after upgrading.
5. Upgrading to newer service packs (7.0.2 for example) has not solved the problem.
6. I ran my feed through an RSS validator. It spotted 2 errors: (1) the width of the podcast image and (2) the syntax of the <source> tag. I made corrections but they did not solve the problem. I changed them back after that.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Pedro

Problem with podcast feed on windows 7

Hi
I have had the following podcast working in itunes for over 3 years.
However, a couple of months ago I moved to a new PC with windows 7 and now the downloads start, stop straight away and give a 404 error. However, when I use my old XP pc or Vista laptop the downloads in itunes still work.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/stanway-evangelical-church/id277422426?mt=2
I have even copied the link against one of the podcasts in the itunes store and copied into a new browser. When you then click play in the itunes browser version it plays. So it is not an issue that the podcast does not exist and the server being down.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/6-may-2012-church-at-4/id277422426?i=11599693 1&mt=2
I would be grateful for any insight as it is very annoying.

I use Podcast Station to create the RSS file (this has not changed since 2008)
I have not changed any formats
Thanks

Hhhmmmm! There is definitely a problem.
I've just tried the first link you gave, found the Podcast in iTunes Store and selected Free for the episode of 29th July (which should download the epsiode as a Podcast). Although it looked as though iTunes was downloading it, and gave no error message when it "finished", there is nothing downloaded. (Never seen a failed download but with no error message before!)
I even tried the episode from 8th July, but with the same result. In fact, in both cases, the progress bar went straight from "looking for the episode" to "done" in the iTunes Download section. I even attempted to watch the download in my file manager. The temporary folder is created but no content arrives and eventually the temporary folder is erased.
This is a Podcast problem. Although you managed to play an episode, (in iTunes - I can't), it is a different process to "play" the file as distinct from downloading it as a Podcast episode, so that explains why it can be played in a browser but not downloaded as a Podcast.
I suggest you contact the programme's producers, since it is they who control the Podcast, not iTunes/Apple. I'm sure their first reaction is likely to be that it's an iTunes problem. It may be, (although I doubt it), but as I stated, Apple don't control Podcasts and they will not fault find this one. From previous posts about faulty Podcasts, I know that if the problem is with the iTunes Store, it will still be the producers of the programme who fault find and then report the issue to Apple.

Problem with podcast after update

I downloaded iTunes 7 and updated my iPod firmware last night. Since then iTunes downloaded the latest episode of a podcast I subscribe to. The latested podcast appears in iTunes (in podcasts) but cannot be played in iTunes. I double click on it but nothing happens, no error message, just nothing. Also when I go to sync the iPod the new podcast doesn't go onto the iPod! If I navigate to the file and play the podcast in Windows Media player it works fine.
Can somebody please help?
Thanks

Does anyone actually know how to get Apple's attention? I called my local Apple store, and they just gave me the old "uninstall, reinstall, reset, restore" crapola. I've been checking the iLounge and CNET forums, and this podcast issue seems to be widespread. Do we just sit around and wait, hoping Apple is gracious enough to eventually fix the problem they created?
For those of us who pay for podcasts like Coast to Coast, this situation is all the more infuriating. I can't believe Apple would release an update so flawed. I'm starting to think they did this on purpose. It sure is funny how none of the podcasts we get from iTunes seem to be affected.

N96 Podcast problems - some podcasts have suddenly...

I've recently noticed that some podcasts on my 96 have vanished. Music player cannot see/list them however they are clearly still on the phone as i can see them via file manager. I've refreshed the music library and it seem these podcasts are totally invisible to the music player now.
Anyone got anything similar or solved it already ??
Oh yes this was occured around the same time as my v20 firmware update. Alongside another gallery problem i'm having and posted about i'm begining to wonder if version 20 firmware has got inherent bugs in it and messed up my phone. Any offers ??

Is the music player finding any music at all?
Where are you looking for the podcasts in the Podcast library or as part of the All songs?
It could be that old podcasts may have lost the "podcast" tag when the firmware was updated. Are new podcasts also not being found?
