TV Episodes in Music Store

Does anyone know why you can't purchase tv episodes in Canada? The option only appears if you are in the USA Music Store, and since I am registered in Canada I can't purchase any episodes.

Because the TV networks will not as of this time allow Apple to sell the episodes outside of the US.

New Episodes of my Podcast are not showing up in the iTunes Music Store?

this isn't really an "itunes for mac" question, but since i do my production on a mac, i'll ask it here!
i produce and record a weekly podcast (about 2 hours each week) which has been listed in the iTMS since it started (last february)
this last week we recorded episode 31 and uploaded it to my .mac account, and all went well... the new episode is downloading to anyone who already has subscribed to the rss feed (homepage.mac.com/airplayradio/podcast.xml), but it hasn't shown up in the iTunes Music Store... the software i use to upload the shows generates an automatic ping, and i've done a manual ping a couple of times a day since wednesday, but nothing...
any ideas? absolutely -nothing- (software/hardware/etc.) has changed since i uploaded episode 30 a week ago, and that showed up within an hour...
many thanks for any advice!
cheers

well, i never got a reply directly to my question, but i was directed by email to post my problem within itunes... go to the podcast page of my podcast and then select "report a concern"... i always thought this was to report offensive podcasts, but if you click on that button you'll see a pull down list with a bunch of problems... i selected "difficulty downloading" and then explained the problem completely... as i said, i never heard back from anyone, but about 4 days later my podcast episode showed up... and this past wednesday we uploaded the latest episode and it showed up in the iTMS almost immediately... go figure?!
if anyone's interested, the podcast name is Schnauzer Logic and its comedy and talk and music and pop culture (i used to be the host of a morning show)... good for a giggle once a week for a couple of hours.
cheers!

New episodes not showing up in iTunes Music Store

Hi I'm trying to figure out why new episodes of our podcast don't show up on our iTunes Music Store Page in iTunes.
The last episode listed on the page is from October 29, 2006 even though there are episodes in the feed as recent as April 1, 2007. Once you click "subscribe" and go to the "podcasts" section of iTunes, you can see all the episodes, they just don't show up in the iTunes music store page.
The feed is at:
http://www.uusf.org/AboutUUSF/SermonArchive/RSS/UUSF_Sermons.xml
Any help is appreciated. -Steve

OK, I got it to work by running the feed through
feedvalidator and fixing all the errors. The wierd
thing is that the xml file was created by a program
called RSSBuddy, so it shouldn't have been messed up.
Interesting. I suspect that the XML parser used by the iTunes Store is fussier than the iTunes software itself!
I guess I need to find a new program for editing the
RSS feed. Any recommendations?
If you're on a Mac then Podcast Maker is a great choice. For Windows there's a product made by Feed4All.
Cheers,
Greg.

Missing Episodes in iTunes Music Store

I've been doing this show for some time now, and I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, and so far nothing has helped. Here's the URL for the feed:
http://www.paperbagradio.com/rss.xml
I've pinged it and it hasn't helped, and it's been recieving the ping. On the iTunes music store, they're only listing the first 13 episodes of the feed. But if you were to subscribe to the show through iTunes, it would download everything in the feed, not just those first 13 episodes. How can I get iTunes to show every episode in the feed in the music store?

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paperbagradio.com%2Frss. xml
It helps to make sure that the feed is valid, in this case there is an error in your feed. You need to change the second line. Make "DTDs" = "dtds"
Then in lines 37 / 38 change it from
<itunes:category text="Comedy">
</itunes:category>
to
<itunes:category text="Comedy" />
Finally on line 1168 - change "isn't" to "is not" some times the " ' " will cause issues with xml.
These might seem like small changes - but they should help.

Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.

Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.

Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

Hi,
Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

New podcast page not appearing in iTunes Music Store yet

Our latest addition to the WhiskyCast podcast series, WhiskyCast Virtual Tastings, was added to the iTunes Music Store last weekend. However, it's still not showing up in search results unless one types in the complete name of the show, and then only shows up as a single episode -- not with a page of its own like our other podcasts. I know it takes a day or two for new podcasts to show up in the search results, but without the page, there's no "Report a Concern" link for me to check with the iTMS team on whether there's an issue or not. Should I wait a few more days to see if the problem straightens itself out, or is there someone within Apple that I can reach out to to see whether there's a problem with my feed that's keeping the page from showing up.
Here's a link to the debut episode in iTMS and what iTunes displays:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/whiskycast-virtual-tastings/id460281190
Thanks!
Mark Gillespie

The link you give is to the Store page for your podcast - this is what the Search results will link to once they become available. Your page does have the 'Report A Concern' link but I shouldn't bother (iin any case it's really meant for people to complain about content or whatever).
It can take some days for the Search results to show; it's been eight, so it should happen any time now. If you want to contact Support (though I don't think you will find them at all helpful), 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.

Podcast not upto date in iTunes Music Store

Hey all,
For some reason my podcast isn't showing the latest shows in iTunes...
I run the website http://www.vgmfusion.com and we host the show VGM Daily.
The podcast feed is here: http://www.vgmfusion.com/podcast.php
We do daily episodes, and currently the newest one is episode 39... but the music store is only showing upto ep. 32.
Whenever I do an update, I ping the iTunes server with this link:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=109134713
...then I go into iTunes to check if it updated, and on my "podcasts" in iTunes it will update my show's feed, and download the new episode right away, but if I look at our page in the Music Store it's always stuck on episode 32!
We're still getting all the people who've subscribed to the podcast already I'm sure, but I can't see how we'd be getting many new listeners if they think that we never update!
Please help!
My iTunes link is:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=109134713
Thanks!

Apple may have tightented their feed syntax checking
and is now failing your feed where it may have passed
previously.
As for an official comment from Apple - we see the
infrequent comment from an official rep, but nothing
you should count on.
Okay, I've go in and tried to look at the podcast feed generators code.. and I've found the following...
Using the feed validator that you linked to, I see that one of the errors is with itunes:link, saying it's an undefined channel element...
This is how the podcast.php generates the code for the feed element itunes:link ..
//huge iTunes-image (the apple method from the early days)
echo "<itunes:link rel=\"image\" type=\"video/jpeg\" href=\"".$settings['url']."/audio/itunescover.jpg\">";
echo str_replace("&", "&", itunform($settings['sitename']))."</itunes:link>\n\n";
Is there anything wrong with that? What can I change?
Secondly, the other "error" is for another element, itunes:category.
The podcast.php generates it like this:
//iTunes categories!
$allcats = array(
$settings['feedcat1'],
$settings['feedcat2'],
$settings['feedcat3'],
$settings['feedcat4']
foreach ($allcats as $thiscat) {
$main = false;
if ($thiscat != "00-00") {
if (substr($thiscat,3) != "00") {
$maincat = substr($thiscat,0,2) . "-00";
echo "<itunes:category text=\"".$cat_table[$maincat]."\">\n";
$main = true;
echo "<itunes:category text=\"".$cat_table[$thiscat]."\" />\n";
if ($main) { echo "</itunes:category>\n"; }
//normal categories
foreach ($allcats as $thiscat) {
if (filled($cat_table[$thiscat])) {
echo "<category>".$cat_table[$thiscat]."</category>\n";
So again, I ask -- what's wrong? why is the feed validator saying that it's undefined... what is undefined? the help on the page is not... helpful.
Any Gurus out there?
PLEASE!

Podcast not updating on iTunes Music Store but it's ok on Feed

Hi, we've been posting a podcast every two weeks on iTunes Music Store for more than a year, the podcast name is sushi pop. This is the feed that we're using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ColissioncomSushiPop but since almost a month it hasn't been published on iTunes Music Store, anyone could help us with this? Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

Neither the Store nor iTunes when subscribing is showing episodes 25 and 26.
Your earlier episodes each have two 'enclosure' tags: if both contained playable media iTunes would ignore the second (you can't have more than one enclosure per episode). However in each case the first one contains a bit.ly URL which downloads the media file. This is not acceptable to iTunes, which thus defaults to the second enclosure, which does contain a playable URL. (The test is that the URL, when pasted into a browser's address bar, plays the episode in the browser, not downloads it.)
However episodes 25 and 26 have only one enclosure each, containing a bit.ly URL, again downloading the file. Since the episode contains no playable media iTunes does not display it.
You need to stick to one enclosure, containing a direct URL to the media file.

How to get Music Store beyond first screen

I can get to the first iTunes screen but when I click any link I just get the message "Accessing Music Store..." at the top. It doesn't go to the second page. I have also noticed that iTunes is using 50% of my CPU. Does anyone have an idea of what's wrong?
Thanks.

Can't Connect To Music Store...Tried Just About Everything

I can't connect to the Itunes music store. I have tried closing it and clicking it again, restarting my computer, and searching the support site for help. Does anyone know what I can do?

I cannot connect to the Music Store OR download new episodes of podcasts I am subscribed to/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png What is going on It's been over 24 hours.
I am hoping that it is a temporary Music Store update which will (fingers crossed) be including video content on its UK store - but i highly doubt it
Anyone got any inside info - please share if do/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

ITunes music store veryyyyy slow

I can get onto Mozilla and Internet Explorer with great connection speeds, however itunes is the problem. I am downloading an episode of The Office, which normally took a little less than 5 minutes, but it is taking up to 80 hours to download. I live in a college dorm, and the same problem is also happening to my roomate, and another person across the hall, but I haven't asked anyone else yet though. I upgraded to itunes 7 before this problem happened, and my roomate was still on itunes 6 when his music store started going slow. I tried flushing out my DNS like a help topic told me to, but that didn't help, and i don't think i have any pop up software to delete, can anyone help me?

I am haveing the same issue when first opening the music store. I never had a problem before when using iTunes version 6 but since I upgraded to 7 I can not open the store or my shopping cart. I tried clearing the dns and that did not work either.

ITunes Music Store Displaying Old / Defunct Podcasts

I am wondering why iTunes shows old podcasts that have not had new episodes posted for quite some time?
I would of thought it would be a good idea to set a time limit, say, 3 months and if no episodes are posted within that time period, remove from music store?
There's a lot to wade through and it would be nice if they were active only podcasts.

wow- it was automatically done some 10 minutes after changing.

Music Store Connects Early AM, Freezes Later w/ 100% CPU Usage

Hi,
I connect to the internet using Hughesnet satellite (formerly Direcway). An important aspect of satellite, for any would-be troubleshooters of my problem, is that there is a time-lag from request to response of up to 1000ms (which is different than the <100ms response time of dsl or cable). Actual download speeds, however, are comparable.
Here's my problem. When I load iTunes and go to the Music Store, the main music store page loads fine. In the early AM (when I assume traffic on both the satellite AND Music Store is less), when I click on a "genre" (in this case, TVShows), it goes to the TV Shows page and I can buy another episode of "24".
But later in the day, after say 10 or 11AM EDT, when I click on a genre, it shows "Accessing Music Store" at the top and the horizontal 'barber shop pole' bar just turns and turns, without switching to the access progress bar. This can go on for quite a while (I've let it run for at least 15 minutes) and the only way to stop it is to end the iTunes process in Windows Task Manager. Also, if I go in to Windows Task Manager when iTunes is trying to access the Music Store, the iTunes CPU usage is a steady 99-100%.
I'm running iTunes 6.0.4.2, which is, I believe, the latest. I'm running AVG Antivirus and Kerio Personal Firewall, and have tried a couple of times with both of these off. Same result. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=473475
which seems to discuss a similar problem (Ok connecting in morning, nothing later in day) that turned out to be related to a specific ISP in the UK.
In the case of Hughesnet (or any satellite), this may be a combination of iTunes/Music Store possibly needing some quick handshake as part of a security protocol, and a satellite connection getting a little too slow to execute the handshake as traffic picks up. I don't know, just a thought.
But I DON'T think its on my computer - firewall, anti-virus or spyware - since it will connect during real low traffic houses (e.g. 7AM).
Any suggestions anyone can make would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

Music Store URL not working

Hi, my podcast just got approved but I edited the XML feed to include episode album art (which didn't show up) and now the music store URL won't work (it says it's not available in the US store). When I search for my podcast, however, it's still there.
How can I make changes to submitted feeds without messing up the URL? Thanks.
Podcast URL: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=125971756&s=143 441
Search: T-Bone Thugs
Dell Inspiron Windows XP Pro

I think I am having a similar problem. I edited my xml document to include a new episode. I copied and did everything verbatim, but not the itunes store won't find the URL for the new episode.
Did you figure it out? Appreciate any input.
