Resummiting the feed for Itunes podcasting

I use Podbean for summiting my podcast on iTunes, I accidentally pressed the block podcasting to “yes”. It deleted my podcast from iTunes, I am trying to resubmit the feed but iTunes is giving me error telling me that the feed already exists. I am not in a position to change the name of the feed. Is there any other way to resubmit the feed back to iTunes?

It's very frustrating for you, but you've done all you can with the feed, which looks fine. The only thing I can suggest is that you try getting help at [email protected] , but I have no idea how likely they are to respond.

Change the FEED for my podcast

Hello!!!
I have summited a feed for my podcast. And I want to change it. The feed is in my web page but I want to change it to a feed from FeedBurners so that I can get statics about my podcast.
How DO I do this.

I quote from Apple's podcast Tech Specs page
Changing Your Feed URL.
Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one location to another. To do so without losing subscribers, you must convey the change directly to all users who are subscribed to your feed. If possible, you should do two things:
You should use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below. The tag will cause the iTunes Store to be updated with the new feed URL, as well as all iTunes client versions that support podcasting.
You should set your web server to return an HTTP 301 response and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so will cause both the iTunes Store and the most (but not all) iTunes clients that have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL.
The <itunes:new-feed-url> tag will work for iTS and all versions of the iTunes client that support podcasting. The 301 redirect will work for most of your subscribers who do not use the iTunes client. We recommend that you use both methods to update the greatest possible number of subscribers with your new feed URL.
Be sure to maintain the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag and the 301 redirect for at least two weeks to ensure that most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent episode and have thereby received the new URL.
If you are not able to use both methods, you may want to include an audio note in your podcast, informing your subscribers that your podcast has changed locations.

Switching RSS feed for my podcast

Hi. I may need to change the feed for my podcast. I've read the tech speks about adding the tag to indicate the location of the new feed, but I'm using FeedBurner and have no idea how to do that inside feedburner.
Does anyone know how to add the tags to tell iTunes of the location of the new URL if you're using feedburner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is something you would have to ask Feedburner. As you have no direct access to the feed I suspect that you may find some difficulty - after all, Feedburner have no interest in helping you leave them.

The artwork for our podcast, "Japan Baseball Weekly," recently disappeared. The RSS feed info appears to be in order, any particular reason for this and what can be done to rectify the situation?

Please always post the URLs of the Store page and the feed when you have a question. For reference, your feed is at
http://www.japanesebaseball.com/services/jbw-podcasts.jsp
and the Store page is at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/japan-baseball-weekly/id443149184
Looking at the Store page, the image appears there perfectly well. On subscribing there is no image associated with the episodes because you haven't embedded an image in the files - please see this page for clarification:

When i try submitting my RSS feed for a podcast itunes says we are experiencing technical difficulties...... why is this and when will it be fixed?

when i try submitting my RSS feed for a podcast itunes says we are experiencing technical difficulties...... why is this and when will it be fixed?

Well, I can't see any problem with the feed, and the episode media file is correctly referenced and plays. Incidentally you do have a 'copyright' tag - it says 'Wippenberg'.
When a podcast feed is rejected, corrected and resubmitted there is a minor bug in the Store which causes you to be told that the podcast has already been submitted (which is true but irrelevant - it's really meant to prevent duplicates). To get round this you need to make a small change to the title - for example you could add a hyphen and space before 'Podcast'. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.
The other issue might be the content. The reason given for rejection tends to be technical issues, whatever the actual reason is. I haven't listened to your podcast, so I can't comment directly. Possible reasons for rejection are unacceptable content, sexual content or strong language when the 'explicit' tag is not said to 'yes', and copyright infringement: a lot of people fall over this one by including 'mixes' or indeed full plays of commercially issued recordings without having written permission from the copyright owners or alternatively a valid Podcast Licence (not available in all countries, possibly only the USA). I have no idea whether this might be an issue with yours.

Problems with the RSS feed for my podcast

Hi, am very new to this so apologies if this requires a simple solution.
I was told that to find the RSS for my podcast, I hover my cursor over the subscribe button and this will be it. When I do this I get:
itpc://www.jilt.org.uk/publichtml/publichtml/Podcast/rss.xml
I have tried this with itunes and it has been rejected as not working.
Other information that might be useful for anyone trying to help is that my url is www.jilt.org.uk.
I have entered "jilt" as the sitename on Iweb but this doesn't seem to come up anywhere.
Am very confused by it all and would hugely appreciate any advice.

You seem to be uploading to a server that uses a public_html folder as the root folder.
Inside this you have a copy of the public_html folder and, inside this is a copy of your website.
You also appear to have your files uploaded to the public_html folder because your podcast is available here....
http://www.jilt.org.uk/Podcast/Podcast.html
So that you don't break the RSS feed what you need to do is this:
Publish the site to a local folder and you should get an index.html file and a folder named "jilt".
Upload these to the top level public_html folder. Now open the site in the browser and hover over the "Subscribe" button to get the feed's URL.

The art for my podcast isn't showing up in desktop iTunes.

The art for my podcast shows up in the iOS app. It shows up on the iTunes website. It just doesn't show up on the iTunes desktop app's store page, on either MacOS or Windows.
What gives?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/prefer-not-to-podcast/id661772382?mt=2
and the RSS feed is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/PreferNotToPodcast

The image which appears in the Store page (from which iOS devices also work) is referenced in the feed: but the image which appear when you subscribe on a computer and play an episode is no - it has to be actually embedded in the media file. Please see this page for details:

Any free video hosting services meant for iTunes podcasts?

Any free video hosting services meant for iTunes podcasts? I have found free audio hosting ones for iTunes podcasts, but are there any videos ones? THANKS!

The best I found was after searching YouTube for, how to prepare a video podcast to submit to iTunes Directory.
Several instructional videos come up that are worth watching. The two I initially found are recommended are podbean.com and podomatic.com.
I tried podbean.com, which easily generated the RSS feed iTunes requires, which I was able to successfully copy into the iTunes store line on Submit a Podcast to the iTunes Directory. Podbean has many helpful instructions on how to use their site and submit your video to iTunes.
Since I wasted 3 weeks trying to understand https://discussions.apple.com/message/23110806#23110806, other apple.com insructions, searching the internet, calling senior advisors in Apple Care (none of whom knew or could read this apple.com page either) I was really happy just to find one way to be able to do it. And easily too.
The only way you can possibly get an answer from Apple is to email [email protected], the iTunes Store says, since there is no phone support. Then I was told to wait 10 working days for a reply.
Thank goodness I finally searched YouTube. (There were many other confusing and difficult instructions on the internet.)
After uploading small video files onto my new site at podbean.com, at least I got 3 short videos onto iTunes that show in my computer's iTunes podcast subscriptions and they downloaded successfully. I understand I must wait a few days to get an ID from iTunes directory, which will then list my videos to the pubic as available in ITunes.
Podbean.com does have up to 100 mb free web hosting. (No video can bemore than 30 mb.) But it does allow everything iTunes needs, including a cover photo and description. All future feeds will be automatiically seen by iTunes through the podbean url that was given you, that you pasted into iTunes when you first submitted your podcast. So you only have to do this once, I understand.
Podbean wants to entice you to purchase more space so they show various prices.
I'm still wondering if somehow I could link my existing youtube videos (or facebook, myspace, vimeo, Flickr duplicates) in a field somewhere and link to them. Maybe?
Now that I know to use a web host that generates all the xml and RSS feed behind the scenes (since I don't know how) I'll explore these options, and the other site, podomatic.com.
Let us know if there are other good, free ones for video.
(One YouTube video said mypodcast.com is good for mp3 audio podcasts, FYI.)

How do you update the URL for a Podcast?

The subject line pretty much says it all. I must be blind, but I cannot find anywhere to update the URL for a Podcast in iTunes 7.0.2.
G4 933 (Quicksilver) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I subscribed to a Podcast that used a service (Webpasties) to host the weekly show. They recently moved off of that service, so I receive no new shows under that subscription. (In fact, the header now says "subscription expired".)
I can find no way to update this subscription with the new URL so it will recognize and download the new episodes.
Right now I subscribed separately to the new Podcast, but I would like to unify them -- I do not throw away any episodes, so it's nice to have them all under one subscription rather than spread across two.

This is the fix for "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close .

I recently purchased a new laptop and tried to get my library transferred. iTunes wouldn’t open; QuickTime wouldn’t open. I was near a heart attack. I tried the fixes listed in the forum, but they didn’t work. Then I discovered:
The fix needs to be done in a proper order!
a. Delete iTunes and QuickTime from Add/Remove programs
b. Go to C > Program files an delete the folders for iTunes and QuickTime. If QT will not allow you to delete the program because it’s “in use”, then go to Start > Run > configsys > Startup and deselect “qttask”. You will have to reboot and get past the selective start up/diagnostic screen. Then go back to C > Program files and you will now be able to delete the QuickTime folder.
c. For good order’s sake, delete any desktop shortcuts and empty your Recycle Bin.
d. Reboot
e. Download the STAND ALONE version of QuickTime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
f. Install the stand alone version; reboot. At this time, when the diagnostic window comes up, you can reselect “qttask”
g. Download the QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
h. Install the iTunes program. The stand alone will take precedence over the imbedded version of QuickTime.
i. Reboot
When your system has completed the reboot, you should be able to double-click the newly installed desktop shortcut; give it a few minutes and it should open. Mine did – and I tried everything else. If this does NOT work, then there is a conflict with something else in your system and you will have to go through the configsys elimination process, which is a whole lot more work.
Best of luck!

Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead.

TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

The first thing to check is Quicktime as iTunes will not work without it.
Does Quickime launch OK and work normally?
If it does use the method in this article to troubleshoot iTunes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
If QUicktime does not launch, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them, they are know to cause problems with QUickitme.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes (it is not the default option):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

I have tried to download the update for itunes several times. Each time it get to the installation part and stall and then reverses and give me an erorr message. My current version when I open it, it says there is an error and I will not be able to download a CD into itunes, although I have completed several CD downloads.

I found the file but when I added it to the list for the Data Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

After upgrading to the latest itunes, the text associated with syncing a device is gone. The buttons are there but no text. Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
