There are multiple copies of episodes of my podcast in the iTunes store.  How do I rectify this?

My Podcast is HappyFacePodcast. When you subscribe and download the  podcast only the correct number of episodes appear. But when you search for us in the store there are several copies of many episodes. I realise this isn't such a major issue. But does anyone have any advice on rectifying ths?

I don't think there's anything you can do about this. The feed appears to be OK, and the five episodes in it appear correctly on your Store page and when subscribing.
There is a mention of your having had technical difficulties - did you remove some episodes and then reinstate them? - that could be an explanation as the search results may have cached the removed ones and are still showing them: whatever the cause it's something within the Store itself and not to do with your feed.
You could try asking Support, but to be perfectly honest I think you'd be wasting your time - you aren't the least likely to get a result out of them on this. If you want to try anyway, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • I just downloaded itunes, and when i go to music there are two options. You can either go to the itunes store or scan for media, and when I click on scan for media it does nothing. Help?

    I just downloaded itunes, and when i go to music there are two options. You can either go to the itunes store or scan for media, and when I click on scan for media it does nothing. Help? (I tried deleting itunes and re-installing it but apparently itunes was still on my computer so it asked me if I wanted to just check and see if there were any issues or missing software, so I did that but i still had the same problem.)

    Hi jbserious,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It doesn't sound like the iTunes software and its components installed completely.  The article below will walk you through some troubleshooting steps.  Is this your first time using iTunes, or do you have an iTunes library from another computer that you want to move to this one?

  • Why won't iTunes show every single episode of a podcast in the iTunes store?

    I've been listening to a podcast for a while now and I wanted to go back to the first episode to see how it all started. I went into the store but when I went to watch the first episode... It stopped at episode 287 and said "total: 301 items" even though I know that's false because there are obviously other episodes missing... I just want to retrieve earlier episodes from the store or if I'm screwed.

    try changing USB ports. if that doesnt work and you have restarted the computerand itunes is up to date, uninstall itunes in the order of the article below.
    assuming you use windows.

  • Suddenly there are multiple copies of the same ibook on my bookshelf. How do I get rid of the extra copies?

    I have purchased several ibooks from the bookstore over the last several months. Suddenly there are multiple copies of several titles. Not coincidentally I am have trouble downloading newly purchased titles. I am receiving a message that there is insufficient space when there is, in fact, 6GB+ available. How to proceed?

    Quit iBooks completely and reboot the iPad.
    From your home screen -Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the iBooks app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go back to iBooks and see if the duplicates have disappeared.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • Is there a way to link from a podcast in the iTunes library list to the podcast in the iTunes store?

    There used to be a link button that did exactly that.  It vanished from iTunes 2 or 3 years ago.  At that time, a number of posts asked how to put it back.  None of the posts I've found had a useful response, so I gather there wasn't.
    I'm just wondering if things have changed.
    Many podcasts now have multiple entries in the iTunes store - often with similar graphics.  There are times when I want to re-download an episode of a subscribed podcast.  The problem isn't getting to the podcast via a search of the iTunes store.  The problem is determining, when a podcast has multiple entries, which version of the podcast has the episode I want.
    Thanks

    As far as I know (not very far, btw) new versions of Java are now only distributed from Oracle specifically for OS X. Apple is no longer updating Java beyond the version distributed with the 2014-001 security update. Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_67 is the most recent Oracle release. That's pretty much all I know.

  • Safari isn't recognising any websites at all. It is saying "can't verify certificate or server". I have reset my router, reset the Mac Air and still nothing. If there are updates it also won't let me open the App Store...

    I Have tried everything and it still won't let me open anything in Safari. I have reset the Mac and router. It's just not working.

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
    Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
    Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
    Check the box marked 
              Set date and time automatically
    if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
    Step 2
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    If the problem is not reproducible in safe mode, then it's caused by third-party "anti-virus" or "security" software. If you know what that software is, remove it as directed by the developer after backing up all data. If you don't know what it is, ask for instructions.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
    Repeat with this line:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 4
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
    In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
              File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following items:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
              Show Expired Certificates
    select it. Otherwise it will show
              Hide Expired Certificates
    which is what you want.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
              Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
    select
              no value specified
    Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
    Now open the same inspection window again, and select
              When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
    Save the change in the same way as before.
    Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
    Step 5
    Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
    Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
              Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
    from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Step 7
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /var/db/crls
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
    Step 8
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in the same way you launched Keychain Access.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

  • Some links do not open. When I put my cursor over it, there is no sign that you can click on it (the hand). How can I fix this?

    One Korean website, the second link doesn't show any sign that you can click it. (the finger)
    It works on Internet Explorer, but not firefox. How can I fix this?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://avatar.jr.naver.com/

    That is a problem with two DIV containers with an IFRAME with Flash objects that hides the right part of the first button and the second button button.
    You can just see the second button if you position the mouse between the second and third button.
    Those button are positioned absolutely.
    style="position: absolute; top: 112px; right: 50%;"
    style="position: absolute; top: 119px; left: 50%;"

  • Why is there a number in parenthesis ie: (7) before the Words with Friends in the Tab Bar? Does it mean there are seven copies of it opened and is that the reason it is so slow?

    When I open Firefox and go to "Words with Friends" in the Tab Bar a number in parenthesis is always there.....any number from 3 to 8, ie: (8). I have shut down the computer and restarted it thinking it will go away and sometimes the number will be different....but some number always remains.

    Such an addition is likely to be added by one of the extensions.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Is it possible to see which TV episodes I have purchased within the iTunes store (not in the "purchased" section)?

    I know I can go to the "purchased" section in iTunes, but I'd like to know if it's possible to see which I already have when looking at episodes to purchase. Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    I thought that if the movie had already been downloaded from the internet to my ipad then it would only be using my own home network to stream to the tv and it wouldnt be using up all my allowance just to watch on a big screen. If i had known this i would not have bought an appletv....... thanks.

    I tried to follow the instructions for downloading previoulsly purchased movies. The instructions do not seem accurate for my computer. I cannot seem to find previously purchased movies.
    Further, there are multiple copies (of the same movie) on my computer. Can i simply delete the duplicates?

    Are you in the USA?  Currently you can only re-download movies in the USA and not even all of those (studio dependent).
    Before deleting duplicates I would make sure it isn't just two links pointing to the same file.  If it is, delete the link but not the file (especially if you cannot download it again).  In general you need to exercise caution when dealing with duplicates because some are not really.
