Submitting a Podcast URL

Hello,
I have just submitted a Podcast to the Itunes Directory by 'podcast feed url' - and everything worked fine.
But now, I want to cancel that submission. The reason, is because I added new items to the podcast and need to re-submit or submit a new URL.
How do I cancel the original submission? Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to re-submit?
I tried to submit it again - but get error "The feed has already been submitted".
Is there any way to cancel the feed - and start again?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Does any one know how to stop a submission to the iTunes Store?
Or
How do you add new items to your previous submission?
Any help greatly appreciated...

Could I link my existing youtube videos (or Facebook, Myspace, Vimeo, Flickr duplicates) in a field somewhere and link to them (after initially submitting a podcast feed URL)?

I've found podbean.com, and will explore podomatic.com, for submitting video podcasts to the iTunes Directory. But now that I've found these RSS feed URL generators (and will look for others) is there a way within these websites or in blogs to link to my existing videos on Facebook, for example, and the video appear in the iTunes Store?

I'm afraid not - please see my response to your post in the other thread.

There was an error submitting your podcast

We have installed Podcast Producer 2 on a demo 10.6.2 server. We are able to use Podcast Capture directly on the server and podcasts are produced and able to be accessed through the Podcast library.
But when attempting to use Podcast Capture on a 10.5.8 client, after logging in and recording the podcast, when publishing we get the following message from Podcast Capture:
"There was an error submitting your podcast"
Some things I have noticed from the Server Logs:
Apache Error Log:

Our servername is demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us, but our local hostname is demomaster.local. Would this be a problem? changeip -checkhostname shows "success"

The 401 Unauthorized also shows up even when we use podcast capture directly on the server. But the podcast still works then. So I'm not sure this is really an issue.
I have a feeling this is some sort of permissions issue, but I have tried changing the permissions on the /var/pcast and /var/pcast/server folder

And I have turned off digest authentication in cluster_preference.plist as well with no success.

Any other ideas? We really need to get this working. Thanks for any help.

I keep finding a little more information...
The plist file of the podcast that was to be uploaded looks like this:

How do I change my server so that it uses the FQDN "demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us" everywhere instead of sometimes using the local hostname demomaster.local.
It appears this is a DNS issue. We have set the hostname using scutil and running changeip -checkhostname shows
Current HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
DNS HostName = demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
nslookup on the ip shows that the reverse is working and pointing to the FQDN.
Computer Name in Server admin is set to: demomaster.nobl.k12.in.us
Local Hostname is set to: demomaster
but under the podcast Producer overview screen in Server Admin our Podcast Library and Capture URL both show http://demomaster.local:port instead of the FQDN.
How do we change this?
Thanks again.

Trouble submitting my podcast

Hi community,
I get an unspecific error message, when submitting my podcast: http://www.startuprad.io/feed/
I am not sure what is wrong and why iTunes won't accept it. Please advice!
Best
Joe

This is not a podcast feed. It has no 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. and lacks the 'iTunes declaration' in the second line. There is a reference to an mp3 file in you 'content: encoded' tags but iTunes does not read these; there is also a reference to a .swf file which iTunes does not play.
You have constructed your feed in WordPress. I can't advise on the details of WordPress but I suspect you will need either to use the PodPress plugin or route your feed through Feedburner and add the media files there. The former would be preferable as Feedburner has its own issues (and there are rumours of its impending discontinuation).

Timeout error when submitting feedburner podcast feed to itunes

This is my first time submitting my podcast to itunes, I have created the feed with feedburner and I can manually subscribe and download the podcast in itunes however when i try to submit the feed I recieve the generic timout error, see below. I have tried for several days with different machines to no avail. Any suggestions?
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePortcast
Thanks in advance.

The feed appears to be OK; sometimes individual servers can behave oddly with the Store but as yours is a Feedburner feed there shouldn't be any problem, so there is no obvious reason why this is happening.
You could try the allternative submission URL:
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
If that doesn't work one possibility is that there is a problem at the Store end, which does happen though it doesn't usually go on for several days. You could try emailing support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I have to say that you likely won't get a helpful answer. Otherwise I can only suggest giving it a day or two and trying again.

Submitting Your Podcast to iTunes

I need to break my question into steps, otherwise it will get confusing. If there is anyone that can advise me on my next steps that would be great!
1. I submitted my Podcast and realized I submitted the incorrect feed URL.
2. I than removed my Podcast from iTunes.
3. While submitting the new feed URL I didn’t receive any prompt, so I thought I should submit the URL again.
4. I received this message reading, “it appears your feed has already been submitted.”
5. The first URL has no connection with the second (new) URL so I am wondering why I received this message. (it appears your feed has already been submitted)
Can anyone help!

I can't see any reason why there should be a problem. The only thing about your feed is that there is no 'itunes:duration' tag containing the duration of each episode in the format hh:mm:ss so that the Store can't know what the duration of the podcast is - however this shouldn't cause a problem about submissions.
Occasionally the submissions process falls over and give incorrect rejections, so possibly that's the problem. You could try leaving it for a day or so and trying again.

Re-submitting my podcast feed after it has been deleted dosen't work?

Hi
I had recently submitted a podcast feed for my company. However I made a mistake in asking to have it deleted so I could make some changes.
Now having completely revised my understanding of how the feed works, I have now re-submitted my feed:
http://www.shogunaudio.co.uk/podcast.xml
When the podcast was up before it ran fine, and was very popular. My feed is valid, I can subscribe using the 'advanced - subscribe to podcast' in iTunes. But for some reason it won't register. I have re-submitted the same feed 3 times and I don't get a 'duplicate feed' warning, it just says that it is submitted and I will be getting an email, but nothing happens.
I desperately want to get this up and running asap, what is wrong here?
Thanks

I can't really say what is going on, but I don't think submitting from another account or changing the IP number will have any effect. Normally in this situation you should change the title slightly, and also rename the feed - as I suggested, you could call it podcast1.xml (so that the URL changes) - these are the parameters affecting it. The only other possibility I can think of is that you have managed to introduce some problem into the feed which is causing it not to be accepted (though if you can subscribe from the 'Advanced' menu this seems unlikely).
Would you like to post the URL of the revised feed?

When submitting my podcast it says feed has no episodes?

I have submitted several podcasts and this is the first time I ran into a problem, perhaps things have changed in the past 9 months or so? I have one podcast as of right now and plan a weekly update
Here is the link
http://feeds.feedburner.com/PrimalLowCarbPodcast
Maybe my formatting *****? Just not sure where to begin or what software to use to generate the xml file anymore - thanks for any help - it is truly appreciated

Your episode has no playable media - iTunes does not display episodes with no playable media. Your episode needs an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3, m4a, m4v, mp4 or mov file. Your has links to web pages containing links to mp3 files but this won't do you any good.
This page contains basic information about making a podcast, including a sample feed so you can see what one should look like:

Can't find podcast url to link in website

I can subscribe to a podcast I submitted sometime last week by using the rss feed link, but I am unable to find the direct link (you know, podcast id) in order to be able to link it straight from my web site. Also, I can't find ANY of my previous podcasts when I search for them in the store even though they've been up for quite some time now. My biggest concern is getting the podcast ID for this most recent podcast I've uploaded. Any advice?

Your code looks good and it passes the Feed Validator test. So yay.
I searched for the podcast under multiple fields in iTunes - no luck, like you said. Which leads me back to one of my original questions: Did you submit the podcast to the iTunes Store successfully? Did you get an approval email back? When did you submit it?
The process for submitting a podcast is not the "Advanced>Subscribe to Pocast" menu option. It is "iTunes Store>Pocasts>Submit a Podcast" (the "Submit a Podcast" button is in the "Learn More" section of the lower-left hand column). You paste the url of your feed (http://www.sermonplayer.com/c/uncommon/rss/) into the field that comes up. You submit, and then wait for your approval email. That email will have the ID number in there, and any of your other podcasts that you said should be up in the store should have also received an approval email.
If you haven't gotten any emails from the iTunes Store regarding your podcasts that means that your podcasts have not been successfully submitted yet and are actually not in the store.

I submitted my podcast but never received an email.

I submitted my podcast but never received an email. I tried tried resubmitting but it stated that it had already received my submission. Anyway to resend a confirmation email?

The fact that you get an error message on trying to resubmit indicates that your submission was successful. You should have received a confirmation but there's always the possibility that it's gone astray or been spam-trapped.
It can take two weeks, sometimes quite a bit more, for a podcast to be accepted, at which point you should get an email giving you the Store page URL, so check that you haven't been spam-trapping such messages. Otherwise you'll just have to try searching in the Store from time to time (though this can take a further period to become effective).

Submitted a podcast five days ago, but haven't heard from iTunes

I submitted a podcast to the iTunes store on Friday (five days ago), but never received an email confirming that it had been received. I pinged it today and found out the feed ID, but still haven't heard from iTunes. Obviously, no luck finding it in the iTunes store.
The feed url is http://www.wfp.org/aid-professionals/podcast/feed and the feed ID is 405486359.
How long does it usually take for iTunes to process a submission request???

How long does it usually take for iTunes to process a submission request???
Usually rather more than five days. The ID number you've found is presumably issued on submission - using it in the standard URL for the Store doesn't work -
http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=405486359
It will once the podcast has been accepted, so you can use it to check. The time it takes for acceptance varies - it requires human intervention and obviously depends on the length of the queue you're in: it might take a couple of weeks so I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting.

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.

Help!! "This does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL" -- but it is!

I'm having trouble subscribing to the Vatican Radio podcast (English version). I recently moved to a new computer and resubscribed to all my podcasts. This is the only one that won't work for me.
I've contacted the Radio Vatican webmaster and he's confirmed I'm using the right URL - www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml
But when I subscribe to it through either the iTunes Music Store or the iTunes "Advanced" menu I get the reply - "http:www.radiovaticana.org/rss/inglese.xml does not appear to be a valid Podcast URL. Please check that you have entered the correct URL and try again."
I'm able to download individual programs through the Music Store, but it won't take a subscription for some reason.
Anyone have any ideas? I've never faced this before.
FYi I'm using the latest version of iTunes on a MacBook with version 10.4.7.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Plug that URL into a feed checker site, and you get a "mass" of errors. Pass that along to them, they need to fix these errors.

HELP!! "timed out" submiting video podcast through iweb to itunes

I am trying to submit a vid podcast through iweb to itunes and am getting a timed out message. Please help. I have read other posts similar to my problem, and have checked to see that all of my fields are filled in. Don't know what the deal is. thanks for the help.

This is what I received from iTunes help:
Dear Eric,
The iTunes team reviews each podcast submission. Depending on demand,
it may take a week or two before the podcast is published.
I'm sorry to hear you received an error when you tried to publish a
podcast to the iTunes Store. If you are re-submitting a podcast for
review, the iTunes Store may detect the submission as a duplicate and
generate an error message stating that the feed has already been submitted.
You can follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
1) Change the title and link fields of the RSS feed to something other
than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the
title and link fields back to what they were.
There are several less-common reasons iTunes might have displayed this
error:
* The podcast's RSS feed was not available.
* The podcast's RSS feed timed out.
* The podcast's RSS feed could not be validated.
If you are the podcaster, make sure your podcast is available on the
Internet. Your podcast's RSS feed also should conform to the iTunes
extended podcast RSS specification.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple
Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues.
Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page:
http://discussions.apple.com
If you are not the podcaster, please contact the podcaster and direct
them to our specification.
Thank you for your interest in the iTunes Store. Have a great day.

Posting My iTunes Podcast URL On My Website

Earlier today Wrongway Peachfuzz taught me how to locate the url needed to ping iTunes that I had a new photo, description and info update, and now I'm hoping one of you can teach me...
How to locate my iTunes podcast URL so I can post it on my website and drive my traffic to my iTunes page.
Thank you,

Here's info from the spec:
Linking to Your Podcast
If your podcast is accepted, customers will be able to discover it in the iTunes Store via search or browse. But you can also create links directly to your podcasts and share those on your website or in email. There are two linking methods:
iTunes Store Link: The following link goes directly to your podcast page in iTunes, where users will have the opportunity to subscribe to the podcast. This link can be found for any podcast by control + clicking (or right clicking in Windows) the podcast’s art on its page in the iTunes Store: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=FEEDID
Note that a shorter but functionally identical link is also available: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=FEEDID
This is the preferred method among podcasters, because it results in an action (the user clicking on the Subscribe button in the iTunes Store) that is registered by iTS and will drive your podcast up the various automated charts.
Direct Subscribe Link: The following link automatically subscribes the user to the podcast in iTunes. Note that this method fails for Windows users who do not have iTunes installed, so it should be clearly noted that the link is intended for subscription with iTunes.
itpc://FEEDURL
Also note that this method will not push your podcast up the various charts in the iTunes Store. It is a direct call to the user's iTunes client software and sends no information to the iTunes Store. If you want to increase the visibility of your podcast, we recommend that your web site and other marketing materials use the iTunes Store link described above.
