Submit rss feed technical difficulties

I have been trying to upload my podcast RSS feed for several days now. I always get the "We are experiencing technical difficulties. Try again later" message. Is this a problem on iTunes end or is it a problem with my feed. I use cyberear and they generate the feed for me which is supposed to be iTunes ready.

Here is the feed.

It's better if you start your own thread when you have a problem. The text of the link you posted isn't the same as the actual link, which is to a web page, not a feed. The feed is indeed at the URL you give:
http://www.ipsocreative.com/musings/podcast/rss
You don't specify 'trouble'. The correct URL works OK when subscribed to manually in iTunes but the FeedValidator report throws up a number of errors you should probably look into.

Un-submit RSS feed

I know this is silly, but i just submitted an RSS feed to iTunes and I decided that I want to scratch the show idea and go a different dirrection. How do I keep iTunes from finding my RSS feed? Do I just delete it off of my server? I've done that and it still shows up in the search results...

Go to this URL on Apple's site.

I am trying to submit the link to the podcast RSS feed but when I press submit I receive the error "We care currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later." I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

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.

Cannot submit a Podcast ("Experiencing Technical Difficulties" Error)

Hello,
I am currently trying to submit a Podcast to the iTunes Store, I have used the Advanced menu and have verified that the RSS Feed is working correctly.
Upon attempt to submit, the following message displays:
"We are currently experiencing Technical Difficulties, Please try again later'
Is this problem being worked on? I have noticed several other users post about this.
For reference, my feed is a RSS Feed published by Blip.TV

I've had the same message since Sunday. I wish someone from Apple would at least do us the courtesy of replying to these messages and letting us know what's going on. As it stands I don't think anyone can submit a new podcast feed to the iTunes Store.
If anyone reading this has done so in the last 24 hours PLEASE let us know.

Technical Difficulties Message when submitting my RSS URL

I keep trying to submit my RSS feed URL to iTunes and I keep getting the message "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later." Is this really something on iTunes end or is something wrong with my RSS file?

Cannot submit Podcast due to "Technical Difficulties"??

I have created a new podcast on libsyn and wish to submit to the iTunes store-- however, filling in the feed.xml iTunes simply responds "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."
Since this has gone on now for two days, I thought I post here and see what the matter is? I am using iTunes on a Windows PC, I am signed in, but alas, no joy!??
Any suggestions?
thanks!

After a long back and forth email conversation with an Apple representative, explaining that this is not a user-end issue, I received the response:
"Dear Sam,
Patrick here. I have contacted a senior advisor regarding this issue. If you could please send the podcast feed that you cannot upload, we will be able to upload it for you.
Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Support. I look forward to your reply."
I submitted my feed to him right away and have not heard back since. The more people that contact Apple about this, the more seriously they will take the problem.

Technical Difficulties - submit a podcast

I just tried submitting a new podcast, but I keep getting a technical difficulties messages.
Searching this board, I see this problem occurred in April and again earlier in June. Is this one ongoing problem, or is it intermittent, where it might allow me to submit in a day or so?
As far as I know, my feed is fine. I can add it through the Advanced menu in itunes. But I'd like to get it added to itunes itself so people can find it easier.

Unknown Error (-4) when trying to submit podcast RSS feed

I have been having this problem for two days now. I'm trying to submit the RSS feed://www.toikids.com/physicians/peds.xml to the store and I get the following error message every time.
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-4). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
I get his message when using http:// and feed://. I have validated the feed and have tested it in iTunes and in my browser, so I know its not the feed. I haven't found anything about "unknown error -4" either. Any suggestions?
I'm using iTunes 8.1.1 (10) if that matters.

Seems like Apple is at least aware of the issue. I got this response from Apple Support:
+I'm sorry this error message is persisting. Apparently there is an issue with submitting podcasts today and Apple is working hard to correct it.+
+I recommend waiting until tomorrow to try submitting again and replying to this email by Tuesday if the error happens again.+
+I know this is an inconvenience and for that I sincerely apologize. I appreciate your patience with this, Jeff!+
Sincerely,

Error when trying to submit podcast RSS feed.

I was just trying to publish my podcast and submit the rss feed to itunes. To do this i simply went to file>submit podcast to itunes. I did this using iWeb, but for some reason every time I do this it gives me an error message. I cant figure out what im doing wrong, I thought iWeb was supposed to make a working RSS feed automatically. Also, after hitting publish to .Mac, I went to .mac and clicked my site, but the site is not at all updated, instead it is the old site. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

If you did a "Publish All to .Mac" and remembered to empty your browser cache, it would seem that you are not connected to .Mac.
This would also explain your failure to upload the RSS feed.
However, I notice that somebody else is having this problem...

Itunes is saying the is technical difficulties when trying to submit a podcast

hello, i am currently submitting my second podcast to itunes, and the feed is valid i have used numerous validators to check and they say it is working fine, the url for the feed is "http://feeds.feedburner.com/DBTheGlitch" i have checked the name and everything is not taken, but itunes constantly responds with technical difficulties any possible help?
my first podcast went through successfully but this one is not doing as well
podcast information -
Title
Digit Blast's The Glitch Podcast
current number of episodes - 1 (pilot episode)

'Technical difficulties' is pretty vague but it may be server difficulties at the Store end: you could give it bit and try again, perhaps after the weekend (this sort of problem seems more common over weekends).
Your feed can be subscribed to OK in iTunes, and basically is OK.
Your media file URL has spaces in it: these are not allowed in a URL - as the feed is correctly substituting the code %20 for each space this isn't actually a problem, but it's bad practice and better avoided. The usual workaround is to use underscores instead of spaces.

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

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.

I have been attempting to submit my podcast to the Apple iTunes directory. iTunes will not accept my podcast RSS feed.

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:

RSS feed issue

Hi
I have recently set up a podcast. The podcast URL is www.blog.interestingpodcast.com and the RSS feed is http://blog.interestingpodcast.com/podcasts-only/rss2.aspx
I have tested the podcast in itunes and was able to download the episodes. However when I go to submit the podcast rss feedn I keep getting the same error message "we have had difficulties reading the feed. Connection reset".
I have spent a long time with godaddy technical help who said they do not know what the issue is.
Any help is much appreciated
Matt

I have also encountered this issue with my podcast. My site is hosted on Godaddy but my podcast is hosted on libsyn. My feed is http://www.hauntedhousestartup.com/feed and is run through feedburner also. I contacted Apple and they sent the following reply about the error.
Our systems continue to show a reset request from your servers, keeping our backend systems from being able to accept your podcast submission.
I contacted Godaddy about this and they had never heard of it and had no ideas on a fix. Anyone else come up with anything further.
