Publishing additional episodes

I have more episodes on my .mac page than are appearing in the iTunes store. I can't seem to publish the rest to iTunes. Any suggestions?

What series of the programme is it, how many episodes have you downloaded, and what country are you in ? There are only 9 episodes in series 4 (8 episodes plus the 2013 christmas episode), so if you've downloaded all 9 then you have the full series

Do I need to Apple approval to publish additional free issues if the app is approved ?

Hi there,
Do I need to Apple approval to publish additional free issues if the app is approved ?
Our magazine will be a multi issue app, the magazine itself is free to download by end users so no in-app purchase is required.
I just want to confirm whether an approval from Apple would be required in this case or not, as this will have signifiant impact on our workflow.
For additional issues, my understanding is that we will only need to publish them directly from the folio producer.
Can you please confirm.
Thank you.

Free issues do not need approval from Apple. Once your App is approved, you can Publish Free issues as 'Pubic and Free' and your folios would appear directly in your App.

How to get RSS feeds for publishing?

Hey everyone, I hope everoyones having a great St.Patricks Day! I have just posted my first podcast on Sound Cloud this past Thursday and now Im ready to branch out and get it onto podcast directories like iTunes. However, I am not that computer suavy, and I understand nothing about acquiring RSS feeds or making them and Im really lost at all this. One website says to publish an episode then get the feed but I dont know how to publish it, another says to make a blog then upload it to the blog using some OurMedia website or something, I dont know what to think or how to start. If anyone can explain these or know a website that really explains everything in depth I would greatly apprecaite any help at all this is really frustrating me. Thank you in advance, I appreciate all the help!

Could I invite you to read my 'get-you-started' page on podcasting:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
which also provides a link to Apple's comprehensive (if a little daunting) Tech Note at
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
for additional information (I should use it as a reference rather than trying to read it straight through).
All this will doubtless raise specific questions for you, and do please post back with them.

All podcast episodes have disappeared and I'm no longer ranking

I've successfully uploaded 6 podcast episodes over the past couple of weeks and had been ranking pretty well as of last night. Today I check and my podcast has disappeared from the ranks. When I search on my podcast, it is listed with artwork and description and ratings, but the episodes are all gone. I appreciate any suggestions or ideas on what happened and what I can do about it. Here is my link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/win-the-weight-game/id677470205

I would highly highly recommend if you are hosting with libsyn - use the libsyn feed - and not the one via powerpress. Publish the episodes to your libsyn account - and then connect your libsyn account to your wordpress site via the libsyn Wordpress feature.
http://support.libsyn.com/faqs/onpublish-wordpress/
There are so many tickets on here about issues with wordpress.
If you want your show to be in iTunes and be solid in iTunes - stick with the feed from libsyn and not from your wordpress / powerpress configuration. In the long run you will have much much fewer issues - and libsyn support is there to help you for any issues you might have.
Email me if you want to know how to switch to the libsyn feed.
rob (at) libsyn dot com
One of the best features of Libsyn - is offering you a feed that works all the time with iTunes.

Podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes

Hello,
I am having a problem with my podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes. The last 5 episodes I published appeared in iTunes at the bottom of the episode list, as if they were old episodes--i.e., they appear as if they were the first 5 episodes published. They also do not have a date assigned to them as the rest of the episodes do. They were not distributed to podcast subscribers, possibly because iTunes is not recognizing them as new episodes.
Here is my podcast feed: http://ic.instantcustomer.com/instantcasts/feed/podcast/5047174b90f14efe542431c2 674b1bd9
And here is the link to my podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-business-marketing-minute/id896451432
The problem began with last Wednesday's episode, which was Episode 30, and has continued ever since. I did not do anything differently when I published that episode than I did when I published the previous 29 episodes, and those updated just fine, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell (i.e., they appeared correctly on iTunes, and appeared as a new episode for me as a podcast subscriber). Also, after examining the rss feed, I could not see any difference between episodes 1-29 and episodes 30--34, at least as far as the way the feed was formatted. So, I have no idea what triggered the problem, and no idea how to fix it. If I can't resolve the issue then I think I'll have to abandon the podcast, since there's no point in publishing a podcast that doesn't distribute new episodes to subscribers.
If anyone can shed light on this problem for me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
-Kevin

As you say, in the Store the latest episodes don't show a publishing date. When subscribing in iTunes, none of the episodes show a publishing date, and they are listed in the order they appear in the feed.
In the feed, none of your episodes has a 'pubDate' tag, which is where iTunes gets the date from. Since most of the episodes in the Store have a date, it looks as if originally your episodes had this tag, but that five episodes back you did something in whatever method you are using to create your feed which removed these tags: the Store is presumably getting the dates from its cache since the episodes haven't changed, but obviously doesn't have the dates for the last 5 episodes.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

How can I sell episode?

Thanks for your help..
1) When you create and publish an episode in iTunes after it has been approved its automatic free to download but how do you sell it if you want " 0.£79 Buy" ? I am using a podcast maker. Do you have to apply to iTunes first to sell your episode? and how ?
2) how to add an image like for people to click on it?
Many thanks for your help.

You cannot sell podcast episodes: all podcasts are free.
What do you mean by 'an image to click on'? You can have a custom image in the Store page but it's not a directl link to anything. You add it in the feed, in the 'itunes:image' tag - as you presumably aren't hand-writing your feed the program or service you are using should provide somewhere you can add an image. It should be 600 x 600 px.

Podcasts episodes not visible and not updated

Since 2 weeks I have noticed that in iTunes for Windows new postcasts episodes are no longer visible in the Postcast section. The result is that as no updates are shown (also not after using the refresh option) the new episodes are not downloaded either.
The strange thing is that when I look in the iTunes Store or create a Smart playlist with Grouping set to Podcast the episodes are visible.
Any suggestions why the episodes are not visible and not updated?
Thanks.

Does this fit your situation? iTunes will stop updating a podcast subscription if you have more than five episodes downloaded but not listened to, as detailed in this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
which states:
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I'm getting "Publish Error - An unknown error occurred" in iWeb

....and it's killing me! My podcast has been MIA for over a week now. The link to my webpage is gone. I can't find any help here. When I try to publish my episodes, this is what I get: Publish Error - An unknown error occurred...
I can't seem to find any advice anywhere on what to do about it. I've searched forums and tried reloading, refreshing, etc. Please help.
Thanks!
Bill

Well, actually it is solved... I guess. My son wrote a page on a blog model, without no blog on it; I first removed all buttons that could call an RSS feed or podcasts from all the pages, the issue remained.
The page in question displayed another error message in Safari, telling something was missing, and it was impossible to navigate the site via the menu banner; so I Cmnd-A the page, copied the whole stuff onto a brand new blank page, no success neither.
Eventually, I rewrote the page from scratch, and it solved the issue. Perhaps somewhere on the former page a hidden button or a piece of code which put the mess... I dunnow. But it seems to be OK now.

ITunes only shows 10 episodes posted at a time

Hello...I am trying to figure out why iTunes only publishes 10 episodes of my podcast at a time. I just posted episode 17 of The Seamus & Opie Show and everytime I post a new episode the oldest one drops off. How do I keep ALL the posts listed at the same time? Please help.

Please always post the URLs of the Store and your feed when you have a query - how do you expect to get an answer if I can't look at the feed?
Searching on the title you give brings up a podcast at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-seamus-opie-show/id500495929
using a feed at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheSeamusOpieShow
Is this the correct podcast? All 17 episodes show, both in the Store page and when subscribing.

Video episodes shown as audio on iTunes

Hello!
I use feedburner and in my feed are listed both audio and video media files.
I've just published few episodes so far and all of them are video. The funny thing is that on iTunes not all of them are listed as video episodes.
This is the iTunes url http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=263437210
In future I will probably publish some 'only audio' episodes, but when the video is present I would like it to be shown on iTunes as video episode.
So, how can I 'refresh/update' the iTunes page to see all the video episodes? And how do I have to move in future when I will publish new episodes?
Thank you for the support!
Andrea

Just looked at the source of your podcast feed file at http://feeds.feedburner.com/VMC
A podcast can have one and only one enclosure for each item. You've got 10 or more enclosures for some items, of both audio and video files in various formats. I guess iTunes is taking the first enclosure (or the first it can play) which can be either audio or video depending on the item.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to provide different formats for your listeners, but the way to do this is through separate feeds. That way if the listener wants only mp3 audio or m4v video, they subscribe to the feed that provides just the format they want.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Why can't the iTunes store notify me when new TV episodes are available?

Many times, I have had to purchase a TV show that isn't (yet) offered as a SeasonPass. Then, I have to check each week and buy the shows one at a time for the whole season. How difficult would it be for the iTunes store to offer a notification system telling me when a new episode is available... or, better yet, allow me to have the store automatically sell me the next episode when it is available (upgrade to Season Pass?). Apple iTunes Store is missing out on sales by not providing a simple solution to a simple problem. They already know which shows I've purchased, how tough would it be to provide some followup? --- Same holds true for when additional (previous) seasons are offered... why is the store making their customers do all the work?

Here again, Dave, I appreciate your answer...and it is probably the exact excuse that iTunes Store executives use to justify not correcting the situation. However, it too is a load of bull.
Apple has a database of the purchases of its customers. It also knows which shows were purchased on an episode basis (as opposed to a Season Pass)...generally because the show's producer didn't allow (or provide for a Season Pass for whatever reason). But again, regardless of the shows producer's "deal" with Apple regarding the show, there is NO excuse for Apple to not provide an easy mechanism for iTunes Store customers to track, and buy missing episodes. This is a win/win/win situation... the iTunes Customer, Apple, and the show's producer all get something! Don't tell me that Apple can't write an application that does this! We are not talking rocket science here. Most "sales" organizations attempt to upsell... create additional sales. Missed opportunity here.
I'm not even suggesting that the process be an "upgrade" to a Season Pass as far as pricing goes... merely a mechanical notification that additional episodes are available! This is clearly different than the "complete my album" system and would have absolutely nothing to do with the contractual relationship between Apple and the show's producers.
Again... it's too bad that Apple doesn't take these discussion comments seriously... there are substantial missed opportunities for TV show sales. Don't you guys that monitor these boards have any pull with Apple? After all, you've got almost 100k items of commentary on these boards...!!!

Why do my Podcast episodes appear within a few hours on my iTunes Podcast channel, but they sometimes take DAYS to appear in the iTuned PC Client software?

I've got a strange situation where my iTunes podcast channel has published podcast episodes appearing on the website a few hours after release, but the podcast episode does not appear in the iTuned client software on a PC / Mac for multiple days? This appears to have gotten worse in the last month or so
Any comments or suggestions, anyone, other than having Jobs to a ressurection trick ?

I'm afraid I can't advise on Windows software. I can't see any reason why it should behave differently from iTunes on a Mac: it's reading exactly the same data. Sometimes the Store is slow to catch up, so that new episodes can take a few days to appear (though they appear immediately when subscribing) but that isn't the case here as the Store matches the feed.
As this is evidently a problem with accessing the podcast, rather than creating it, you could ask in the iTunes for Windows forum.

In the Podcasts app, is there any way to remove the list of recent podcasts that can be downloaded?

Hi there,
I'm wondering whether there's any way to remove all those recent podcasts (either unplayed or only partially played) listed as downloadable from the Podcasts app on the iPhone. If I'd wanted all these additional episodes on the phone, I would have put them there. I don't want them there, yet the app insists upon larding up my podcast lists with these useless episodes. Nor do I want to mark them all as "played." There's a reason some of them are only partially played and others not at all. I prefer to keep them marked that way in my master list. But I do not want them on the iPhone.
I've tried searching online, but am not coming up with a solution. Do I have to go to some third-party app to have cleaner, tidier, and smaller lists? When I intend to carry around only three or four episodes for a given podcast, it is really REALLY annoying to have to pick through a list of forty-some-odd offerings to find the ones I want.
I sure am hoping some techie-inclined soul has a solution for me.

we are working on server to server APIs that will allow you to fetch data (items) from node.
when that is available you'll be able to get the user list from the UserManager node.
