RSS Feed to iTunes podcast

My client uses iTunes to post their latest podcasts. Is it
possible to have a RSS feed on their website that shows their
latest podcasts?

I should note, the web address is amazeable.com
The podcast was created using garageband and sent to iweb through the "share" option.

How Can I delete an RSS Feed in iTunes/podcasts?

I have an old rss feed that I want deleted in itunes. I have created a new rss feed and it's up and working great. I want the old one deleted.
I have used "Report a Concern" and asked itunes to delete the old feed, but nothing has happened. so I went to the files and renamed them all and re-pinged the page so itunes would realize that the feed no longer works, but that hasn't work either. I've searched the forum but can't seem to find out how to have itunes delete the old podcast feed.
Any ideas?
I realize that I should have done this a different way, but I didn't know that then... I do now.

Just to confirm that you originally had a podcast accepted in the iTunes Store, and now you have had a second version accepted with a different Store URL? The procedure you have followed is the correct one, though I don't know how long it's likely to take the Store staff to get round to removing it. Just remove the original feed from the server: it will still show in the Store, which has cached it, but obviously subscribing won't work, and the absence of the feed may encourage the Store staff to remove the Store page.

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.

I am unable to submit my RSS feed into iTunes

Podcast RSS feed not being accepted by iTunes
I have registered my main podcast RSS feed in iTunes successfully. I want to migrate this RSS feed from feedburner to PowerPress, but I want to prototype it first before I move the real feed. To that end, I created another Blogger blog site and Feedburner rss feed that has the same settings as my main feed. The feed is using SmartCast to configure the RSS feed for iTunes compatibility. I cannot get the test feed to load into iTunes though. I get this error message:
Podcast cover art must be at least 1400x1400 pixel JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests.
I had the artist give me a 1400x1400 pixel version of the logo in RGB color space (I’m not sure how to verify this). Here is a link to the logo, if anyone can tell by looking at the picture or site what is wrong that needs to be fixed. http://s24.postimg.org/lvuuf7v91/ARP_logo_i_Tunes.jpg
I have read as many forum posts as I can to try and solve this issue and nothing has worked so far. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my image or RSS feed that is causing iTunes to reject the feed?
Here is the RSS feed:

Create RSS feed for iTunes

Hi! I'm a PC-user. I need to create an RSS feed for iTunes. What program do I need to use?

How to submit a podcast with an RSS feed to iTunes

According to this page -- http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#submitting -- "In the left column of the Podcasts page, in the Learn More box at the bottom, click on the Submit a Podcast link." I'm not able to find the Learn More box. How do I submit a podcast to iTunes?

You have to create one with a hosting provider, or create one yourself: see this apple article: http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#_Toc526931673
You can also use an app like Feeder (http:/reinventedsoftware.com/feeder/) for Mac.

We have a new Wordpress site, how do I add a description and artwork to the RSS feed of the podcast?

Hello:
I am surprised I could not find this on a search of Google or Apple Support.
Our church has a new website created with Wordpress. We have all of the functionality ready to go in order to have the RSS feed work with the itunes store.
However, when we submit the feed to iTunes, it says that we need to add a graphic, as well as a short and a long description. I believe this used to be a part of the iTunes website submission process, however it apparently now needs to be a part of the feed itself, if I am understanding correctly.
So my question is where can I find instructions on how to add this in Wordpress?
Just so you understand, I am not in charge of the site itself... I am basically doing some research on my own to help out our programmer. I am just in charge of uploading the weekly audio.
If anyone could guide me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated.
Randy

Wordpress can construct a proper podcast feed, including the 'itunes:image, 'itunes:summary' and 'itunes:subtitle' tags; there will be places to enter this data but I'm afraid I can'd advise on WordPress. It does seem to have a steep learning curve as we see more problems with Wordpress podcasts than any other creation method.
Unless someone who happens to have got a WordPress podcast working happens to see your question and offer information I can only suggest that you look for a Wordpress forum or some Help on it.
Although it won't help you with Wordpress you might like to look at this page about podcasting basics: it includes a sample basic feed so that you can at least see what one should look like:

Creating RSS feeds to iTunes U for the public or other portals to use

I looked in the documentation but was unable to see any information on setting up RSS feeds for course content.
Is there a way to view the RSS feed address for a podcast like - http://itunes.stanford.edu/rss.html? They have addresses like - http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/itunes.stanford.edu.1291405182 .01291405187

David, to be honest, I seriously doubt this gets you banned. Or reprimanded.
I think "the big notion" behind iTunes U is the Apple is allowing us to
take part in the synergy that exists between iPod/iPhone and iTunes
and apply it to our educational purposes. But I do not think that using
iTunes (the application) is a requirement ... it is more of the reason to
do iTunes U. It's not a "must", it's a "why" ... if you follow me.
iTunes U is about portable and asynchronous access to content ... it's about
brushing up on, say, a WWDC session while I'm on the "el" on my way to work.
While I might, conceivably, be able to wrangle WWDC sessions using something
other than iTunes, I'm never going to have the same ease-of-use experience
that I would just using iTunes to do everything.

Now, a few caveats here...that file must be publically accessible, meaning the "all" credential must have download privileges. If it does not, you will get a Forbidden restriction error.
I suspect it'd work if "Unauthenticated" also had download access to the file.
The good news there is that, as you point out, Apple continues to
enforce our security policies no matter how the file is accessed (iTunes,
NetNewsWire, etc.).
You've found an interesting little hack ... it's something to know.

RSS feed in iTunes says it has difficulty downloading episodes

Hi,
When I submit my podcast RSS feed info into iTunes I am told that "we are having diffuculty downloading the episodes from your feed". I have seen this anwered for other poeple with the same issue, but I am using SquareSpace to host my podcasts and I didn't find the previous answers useful in solving my problem. So the RSS feed that I am using to submit my podcast to iTunes is:
http://thesaturatedlife.com/podcast?format=rss
I have gone through all of the steps in both iTunes and SquareSpace, but I still receive the "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".
I can manually subscribe to the podcast through the advanced settings in iTunes (which was also done by tech support at squarespace as well to make sure there was nothing wrong with the url).
I used the feed validator through feedvalidator.org and the rss feed was shown to be a good and active feed.
Does anyone know what I can do? SquareSpace techs can't seem to find out what the issue is. They say everything is in working order on their end. And the iTunes tech guy I was emailing with dirrected me to this forum for help. So I hope somebody knows what I can do to correct this.
Thanks,

There is a whole lot of extraneous material in the feed: I'm not familiar with SquareSpace so I don't know the procedure, but I assume you've started as a weblog page with a lot of text and images and the feed has been taken from that. It's probably harmless as iTunes should simply ignore it, though it does make the feed very difficult to read.
The matter of the media file is more difficult. I'm afraid the simple answer is something you don't want to hear - give up on SquareSpace and go somewhere else. If you host your files on a normal webspace server - with only the caveat that it must support 'byte-range requests' which is mandatory, so you need to ask about this before committing yourself - you shouldn't have any trouble. Some of these weblog creation services can cause problems, though I don't know of any specific issue with SquareSpace.

I Tunes U - Possible to edit RSS feed produced by podcast producer?

Hi people. Two questions
I have a self hosted i tunes u on mac server. Is it possible to edit rss feeds once they have been published by podcast producer? eg remove particular tracks from a particular feed or rename as track for instance?
Also when i tunes u is actually accessed through the interface no track time information is visible for any of of the podcasts? is this a common problem? and does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks
Nick

Your 'tunes:summary' in the top section of the feed has several instances of the string
<br/>
You should remove these. You cannot have < or > within a tag and the code won't do either.
The URL in the 'itunes:image' tag includes an aompersand ('&') and this can cause trouble. You should change it to the wrod 'and' in the filename and in the feed (or call it something simpler, no-one sees the filename).
Your 'itunes:summary' and 'itunes:subtitle' tags for the episode have various codes in them - all starting &# something - iTunes will display these codes, not render them, and you should not use them. These tags should contain plain text, no html. This won't render the feed unreadable the way the other errors do, but it looks messy.

Rss feed of the podcast directory?

Hey all,
Does anyone know if Apple publishes RSS feeds of the iTunes Store's Podcast directory? I would love to be able to use an rss feed based on keyword search or popularity and be able to write a small application where my site visitors can find relevant podcasts from iTunes and then click to subscribe.
Thanks!

hey there fred. i am actually wondering the same thing you are, i got my rss feed from libsyn and submitted that into iTunes and my show is also in the iTunes Directory. well our show has been going so great that we are actually making our own website which will have the capabilitles to download our show driectly from our site. but i dont want our shows to stop being updated in the iTunes directory. we are going to make our own rss feed and use that i guess. but i dont want to have my show deleted from the directory for having 2 of the exact same thing.
but yeah. if you hear anything about what to do then let me know too. my email is [email protected] and our show (if you wanna know is called Grizzled Gamers) its all about xbox and stuff. we have taken off in teh past month. our site is www.grizzledgamers.moonfruit.com (for now) and its soon to be www.grizzledgamers.com which will be cool. ill check your show out you check mine out? ill mention you show if you like and you can mention me...

I tried to submit a validated rss feed to itunes. It keeps saying session timed out. Any suggestions?

I keep trying to submit a validated RSS feed to podcasts on Itunes. It keeps saying session timed out. Any suggestions? thanks

Possibly your server is responding too slowly. In iTunes, from the 'Advanced' menu choose 'Subscribe to Podcast'. Enter your feed URL. See whether you can subscribe there, and whether there is an appreciable delay.

RSS Feeds into iTunes U

Our podcast feeds into iTunes U stopped working in January. However, the feed URL's work just fine outside of iTunes U. For example, our Engineering Works! series in iTunes U does not reflect new weekly content added since January. What steps should we take to make this feed work?
http://engineeringworks.tamu.edu/?feed=rss2

If you go into iTunes to edit the course, edit the tab, there should be an error message telling you what / where there was a problem (if any). iTunes can be vague at times with these errors, so it is also helpful to validate the feed to see if anything is amiss. I use:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/
which is much more strict than what iTunes U will accept. If there is no error, and it just times out, check for duplicate tags within the rss feed, broken URLs (ie, 'link'). If all is well, you could check with Apple.

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.

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.
Podcast: ProjectIdealism
Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/projectidealism

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.
