RSS Feed not validating "Undefined item element: itunes:order"

I've been trying to submit my RSS feed to iTunes but it won't validate. I hosted the podcast on Podomatic and used Feedburner to create the RSS feed. When I checked the link on FeedValidator it gives me the error Undefined item element: itunes:order. My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/mscmngrlpodcast. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm kind of a novice so I appreciate your help.

Your feed is fine [ the 'itunes:order' tag was introduced recently and Feedburner doesn't recognize it. Subscribing to your feed manually in iTunes works OK.
However you may have a problem with the media file. The Feedproxy URL redirects to
http://musicmongrelent.podomatic.com/enclosure/2014-04-03T22_02_00-07_00.mp3
Testing this for 'byte range requests' in Terminal suggests that the server does not accept this: it's the method iPhones use to download files, consisting of requesting part of the file at a time, rather than the whole thing, and as iPhones won't download properly if the server doesn't handle it Apple have made it mandatory. If the server indeede doesn't handle this your podcast will be rejected - you can try submitting and see what happens. If it's rejected you would need to find another server. If you are rejected and re-submit later you will have to change the title slightly, otherwise you will be told the feed has already been submitted (this is a bug in the process).

I submitted my podcast and I got an email saying error, I checked with the feed validator and got this message: This feed does not validate. line 40, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order, how do sort this out, someone help me please.

Ignore it. 'itunes:order' is a recent addition which FeedValidator doesn't know about. If your podcast is rejected that is unlikely to be the reason. Of course as you haven't posted the feed URL nor the text of the error message I can't make any further comment.

Latest ep of my podcast doesn't show in iTunes. Subscribers CAN download it. Podcast page shows 'Total: 3 items' but lists only items 2 and 3. RSS feed is validated and fine.

I've used Feedburner many times and never had such a problem. I am a bit confused, forgive me if I ask for questions already answerd. Have you tried updating the podcast in someone elses copy of iTunes? My guess is that the file is bad since it is working in other programs but not iTunes. I would try making a new .mp4 file and podcasting it and seeing if that works.
Good luck!

I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?

If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

RSS - Live bookmark failed to load - Firefox, RSS feeds not updating

I am new to this forum, and I figure this has been covered before. However, I'm not finding an answer.
I have a Beehive workspace and go to Recent Activity to subscribe to the RSS feed. When using Firefox, I am prompted for my username and password. The RSS feed works until I quit Firefox. After restarting Firefox, I get the "Live bookmark failed to load" message.
If I try to access the feed with Safari, I have the option to enter my username and password, and then save that info in my keychain. I'm trying to determine if the reason the RSS feed isn't updating because of some authentication problem.
People using Internet Explorer have also reported problems with Beehive workspace RSS feeds not updating, so I'm trying to find a solution.
Not providing reliable RSS feeds is slowing down adoption of our workspace, and people aren't wanting to use the workspace until I've resolved the RSS issue.
Can you point me to a solution or to information on how to resolve the RSS updating issues.
Thanks.

HI,
The RSS feed is password protected as you have to be an authenticated user to access the complete system. The issue seems to be in the browser - if it does not trigger a check for username/password and then prompt if not set there is a li9mited amount we can do.
We are working on getting the subscriptions inside beehive working which will generate notifications but that will not be available for a week or so.

Value BLANK/SPACE not valid for cost element "Fund"

Hi!
We use funds management in our solution. It has worked fine in development but when doing the module tests we get the following error when creating a shopping cart:
Value BLANK/SPACE not valid for cost element "Fund"
When creating a PR in backend we do not get an error. So it should not be a problem in funds management.
Everything works fine when using BBPSC01 (central)
Any ideas?
Sincerely
Anders

Please when you have a question post the feed URL, not its contents. For reference, your feed is at
http://gamersscope.emachine08.com/podcast.rss
You have failed to close the category tag, which renders the feed unreadable. You need to add a line as here:
<itunes:category text="Games & Hobbies">
<itunes:category text="Video Games"/>
</itunes:category>
<itunes:owner>
Though it doesn't affect the validity of the feed, your link tag:
<link>http://gamersscope.emachine08.com</link>
leads to a server directory, not a page.

Provider hosted RSS feeds not updating

We are using RSS feeds to populate our Kentucky iTunes U site but our collections are not updating automatically within iTunes U. Is there a way to force RSS updating without having to delete the collection and then recreating the collection?

Hi Brian
iTunes U updates provider hosted feeds every 24hrs. If the collection in iTunes U hasn’t updated after 24hrs then I think there is a problem.
You can force refresh feeds from within Public Site Manager. Go to the collections page > Select the feed(s) you want to update > and then click the refresh button at the top of the page. I have to say, however, I have found this method to be a bit flakey – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I have found that if it doesn't work first time it sometimes helps to navigate to another page in PSM, go back to the collections page and then try again, although. Sometimes when I do this I end up with muliple entries of the same item in preview but it seems to sort itself out when the page is published to live.

Why does my blog's RSS feed not show all posts in the blog

I have a blog with some 38 posts in it yet when I view the RSS feed url I only see 16 of the posts. Stangely if I show this feed in Google Reader it will show all the posts but viewing the RSS feed directly in any browsershows any more than the 16.
I am wanting to show all so I can export the xml file to Wordpress blog for all my posts and then reimport back into a new BC blog.
I have checked the RSS items and confirmed that all the posts are included in this RSS feed.
The RSS feed is http://topleftdesigns.com.au/RSSRetrieve.aspx?ID=3330&Type=RSS20 on my blog at http://topleftdesigns.com.au/_blog/Building_a_Better_Online_Business
Thanks... Greg

No your not Sidney... after I posted the above question I posted a new "test" article to the blog and later in the evening I saw that the new post had been picked up by the RSS feed and at the same time it picked up all the other posts that were not previously showing. The workings of RSs is sometimes a mystery but anyhow all seems fine now for whatever reason.
Thanks for looking in... Greg

Echo 360 generated RSS feeds failing to stream/download in iTunes U

Greetings iTunes U comrades!
We've been working with Echo 360 to isolate where the failure is on this issue and they're scratching their heads. They assure me that other institutions are successfully configuring iTunes U with Echo 360 RSS feeds, but seeing as there's no public forum for Echo 360 users, I'm hoping someone over here might be able to share their experiences with Echo feeds. This is part of our Echo 360 pilot on campus and Echo/iTunes U integration is a key area of functionality for our university. I'll try to provide a concise description of the issue:
The Echo 360 system generates the following RSS feed:
http://(EchoServer IP address:8080)/ess/feed?id=aa06ce62-7373-4070-9a3b-440a6c07dc3d&type=MP3
This feed functions perfectly well in the browser, on or off campus, and we can stream the assets in the browser without issue.
I created a course page in iTunes U, pasted the feed URL, and it accurately listed all the lectures in the course, indicating that on at least some level, the Echo server is communicating with iTunes U.
However, when I try to stream any of those lectures, iTunes hangs at 0:00 and never progresses, but conversely never times out. And if I try to 'Get' an individual lecture or try to download the entire course via the 'Get Tracks' or 'Subscribe' options, I receive the following error in the 'Status' field on the downloads page in iTunes: "stopped (err = 404)"
Additionally, I receive the following message via a pop-up window in iTunes:
"There was a problem downloading (title of lecture).
The URL "http://deimos3.apple.com/DeliverDownload/(EchoServer IP address:8080)/echocontent/0926/3/f2e2e509-af3e-4c5b-a0d8-e86305cc4c8f/audio.mp3 ?downloadKey=1246484124_d9aa3cd85bcfde6f039df5ec94361e58" could not be found on the server."
Notice the discrepancy between the Echo feed and the iTunes U generated URL. This is my main area of concern and I am requesting any insight as to how iTunes U is parsing the Echo feed and creating that download key. (Echo support seemed unfamiliar with this issue.)
Of particular interest: If I go through iTunes to Advanced>'Subscribe to Podcast' and paste in the echo feed, I have no trouble downloading the lectures.
That, in essence, is the failure. I'll post troubleshooting details below.
Thanks!
iTunes U course page settings: I left the 'security' and 'signature' fields set to 'none.' However, problem persists with security set to 'HTTP Basic' or 'Digest Authentication.'
Access settings: problem persists regardless of whether download access is given to 'all' or only to 'authenticated' for this course. I've tried toggling all these settings to troubleshoot the issue, to no avail.
I've tried using "feed" in place of "http" in the Feed URL. Same issue, regardless.
The issue is consistent with MP3, M4B, and M4V feeds.
There doesn't seem to be any way to manipulate the feed URL via the EchoSystem Server (we're on V. 2.4), and there's no additional configuration settings for manipulating the feed via iTunes U. But iTunes U is definitely producing a different feed URL, which appears to be the point of failure.
Insights?

Short version: issue resolved. I can now successfully stream and download the Echo assets via RSS feeds in iTunes U.
Long version: Well, I can't be sure exactly where the point of failure originally was. (@Duncan: I'm not sure if there was any active tweaking on the backend with the deimos feed parsing, I can't be sure what was or wasn't done on your end) That being said, on a support call with the Echo team, as an experiment, I set all access permissions to "download." I had done this previously (before Duncan's mysterious response), and the issue persisted. However, this time after setting all permissions to 'download,' I was /finally/ able to download and stream the assets. (Eureka!)
Of course the real test was what would happen when we re-established the original access permission set, wherein unauthenticated users had 'no access'. This time, it worked! After a bunch of head-scratching, a colleague of mine elucidated that although we had 'reset' the permission structure previously, it was before Duncan and Apple may or may not have intervened on the backend, and that what we had done by changing the permission set may have been necessary for a backend RSS parsing to take hold.
I can be sure that no modifications to the RSS XML were executed on Echo's end, but if the same is true on the iTunes U side, then I am truly perplexed. The bottom line is: I don't know why it 'works' now, but I'm not going to ask too many questions so long as it keeps working. (Thanks Duncan)

Help Please, RSS Feed Not Working! :(

Hello there,
I'm having a hard time getting my RSS feed to work correctly with subscribers and am at my wits end. I cannot seem to wrap my head around it.
I (ideally) wanted to get both MP3 and M4A file formats working to please both crowds or subscribers. So the iTunes subscribers can subscribe to the M4As and the other listners can subscribe to the MP3s.
Anyway, I deleted and recreated the feed on feedburner here, but it's still not resolving. I've deleted the feed countless times, reinstalled iTunes, and tried it on 4 different computers, and even had other people
Any ideas why iTunes will not resolve the feed? If you look at the main page the files play correctly and without issue via the flash player.

Thanks in advanced guys!

Fixed!

Iweb rss feed not working

I published my website (www.nigelreblochon.com) to a folder, then uploaded (using cyberduck) to my webhost. For it to work properly there, I had to remove all items from the folder iWeb created for my site (lets call the folder nigel). The site works fine except for the fact that the podcast feed no longer works because the files needed are no longer in the "nigel" folder. What to do, I would give up the rss feed if there is no other solution. Any help would be apreciated.

well, i didi that. only problem is the index.html
that was sent with the iweb folder was for my .mac
site instead of the nigel site (since iweb always
publishes EVERYTHING! instead of just something.)
If you have multiple sites inside iWeb, then to have the index.html refer to the nigel site, just make sure that the nigel site is at the top of the list in the site organizer when you publish to your local drive.
am
i right in assuming that setting up a new user
"nigel" and working on iweb from there would rectify
my problem.?
Yes, as long as nigel is at the top of the list of your sites (or the only site of course) inside iWeb when you publish. You could make it the only site by putting a copy of your Domain file in the appropriate place in the new account and opening iweb and deleting the other sites.
