Error when submitting podcast: unable to download episodes from your feed

Hi everyone!
When I want to submit my podcast in iTunes, it tells me it is unable to download episodes from my feed.
I uploaded my mp3 file and xml file to an ftp-server, could there be a problem?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Jannes

Your feed won't access in FireFox (my default rss reader) or Safari when set as an rss reader, and it was unable to download the file. I was able to access and read it in Terminal and using FeedValidator but it comes to an abrupt end 28 lines in - see the report:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.setanta.com%2Fie%2F%3Ffe ed%3Dpodcast
(ignore the error on line 14, this is irrelevant.)
Either your feed file is corrupt or the server is acting up in some way - you would have to take that up with the people running it.

Unable to download episodes of my podcast

Hello,
As suggested by a great guy, I just ask here my issue :
My own podcast is available from iTunes : "Tablette Café" (with a "é") ; I can download episodes from iTunes on Mac, but it seems impossible for everybody to download episodes from iTunes iOS (native app). The loading bar stay at "10.5 Kb to 10.5 Kb".
Any idea ? My feed is available here :
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TabletteCafe
Any help could be great.
Regards,

I would use the Mac that already has Mavericks installed and resownload the installer. Then either make a bootable Mavericks installer on a thumb drive or just transfer the installer to the other Mac.

TS3297 I get an an unable to download episode message

I get an unable to download message on TV shows that I have purchased from iTunes

You can always finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer and then the TV Shows to the iPad. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the downloads and then sync the iPad.
As far as trying to finish the downloads on the iPad .....
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

Download error - Unable to Download episode

Hi, I purchased Season 2 of Justified, and am only downloading an episode at a time. I noticed that 2 episodes in the middle of the season, appeared to have started downloading, but I stopped them in the Downloading Section. However they were still showing up in the Video App, yet I cannot side swipe to delete. They want to open up to begin to play, but then I get an error that I do not have access to the content. Back in iTunes downloading section, I tap to download and get the message that is in my subject line. I cant even repurchase them.
Any ideas on how i can fix this? I did reboot, but that was all I tried. Thanks much! Anne

Unable to download newest episode with seasonpass

I purchased the season pass for prison break season 4 a month ago but am unable to download episode 7. when i click on check for check for available downloads it says that there are none. episode 7 just came out and I do not have it in my library. The computer i'm on is the only computer that has access to this account so i do not see how someone else would have downloaded it on another computer. my purchase history also shows that i have only downloaded 6 episodes. can someone please help me out here..thanks..

Season pass episodes are usually made available for download around 9 a.m. after the day they are aired. They may appear early but you can't download them until you received the email notifications.
Anyway, the second episode of Chuck, Season 2 has audio issue.
Wish Apple Discussion can open another forum thread just for users reporting on quality issues.

Some subscribers are unable to download my podcast in the last 2 weeks. How do I fix this?

I host a podcast and an issue is happening to my listeners (and me) in iTunes for the last two weeks. I am using a Mac and also a Windows computer with the latest version of iTunes. I have no problem downloading the podcast on my iPhone using Downcast as my podcast client (I don't like Apple's Podcast app).
I have listeners contacting me asking why this is happening and don't know how to fix it.
I have further details of the issue:
The file starts to download in iTunes and then stops. The podcast is listed in the queue and it shows it is in the cloud. There is a little exclamation point next to the new episodes. When I try to select download it starts and then stops downloading, still showing the exclamation point instead of the blue dot. I can start to stream the podcast but it stops 3 minutes into the podcast. I hit play again and it picks up where I left off but only plays another minute and a half. This stopping and having to hit play again continues through the rest of the podcast.
I haven't changed anything in the way I code the mp3's in the past two episodes, so unless Apple has changed policy or restricted new podcasts on the way they are coded, I don't know what to think. Bitrate 32kbps and sample rate 12,000kHz Mono.
I just did some tests on a Windows 8.1 machine using iTunes 11.1.2.32 and it is not downloading any shows from the last 12 weeks (Aug, 22, 2013 was the last successful d/l).
The podcast I host is Amateur Radio Newsline and the subscribe url ishttp://www.arnewsline.org/news/rss.xml
More info...
Not all podcast subscriptions are experiencing this issue, some download still without a problem.
I have turned off automatic syncing.
I tried various settings on the way it downloads, how many episodes it keeps and it changed nothing. Still having the issue.
This is happening in both Windows and Mac versions of the software.

I subscribed to your feed and was unable to download episodes - I tried several including the latest. The error message was that the download was interrupted.
I was able to download the latest episode in a browser, and to play it in Safari. Evidently your server is reacting badly to requests from the iTunes application; I have no idea why this should be the case and can only refer you to the people running your server.

HT201272 Unable to download

I keep getting an error message in iTunes that says, "Unable to download episode" from my previous purchased library onto my iPad. Help?

Are you trying to download or re-download them ? If re-download, then films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all film studios are allowing their films to be re-downloaded). If you are trying to download films for the first time then are you getting any error messages ?

Unable to Download Podcasts Since 9.0.2 - No "Get Episode" Button

Ever since the update to 9.0.2, I am unable to download podcasts from the iTunes store. The old and, it has to be said, reliable "Get Episode" button is nowhere to be seen. Clicking on the subscribe button brings me the warning splash screen, "Are you sure you want to subscribe?" but when I click "Yes" nothing happens.
The new iTunes Store design may be sexy and all that but it lacks the essential element of functionality. Black background, sure. 3-D buttons and windows, bring it on. But best of all... how about it just works?
I produce a podcast and it is very frustrating to think that all our hard work won't get heard because of a technical glitch. Is there a workaround? Or is it possible to go backwards in time to an older (more functional version of iTunes)? It seems like a pretty substantial problem... anyone else?

I've got iTunes 9.0.3. I'm clicking the FREE button (and every other button I can find) on podcast lists but since they changed the design I still can't download a single episode of a podcast.
Any help will be appreciated.
I guess not many people actually download podcasts or there would be a real storm about this - it's so basic, yet it doesn't work and there are almost no posts about it.
Thanks in advance.

Unable to submit podcast - "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed"

Hi there,
I had tried submitting my podcast feed onto iTunes: http://thecity.sg/media-resour…..e/?podcast
However, I was unable to and the following prompt was given "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed".
Anyone able to explain or help out?

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. Looking at the most recent episode, the URL is
http://thecity.sg/media-resource/?show&file_name=12Jan14_DanielChua_The%20Master %20Key.mp3
which redirects to
http://thecity.sg//wp-content/uploads/sermons/12Jan14_DanielChua_The%20Master%20 Key.mp3
when entered in a browser, and the file plays there as it should. When subscribing manually in iTunes it does work OK. However, because of the problems which are caused in XML by having an ampersand ('&') the feed has rendered the URL as
http://thecity.sg/media-resource/?show&file_name=12Jan14_DanielChua_The%20Master %20Key.mp3
replacing the ampersand with the code & as would be correct if it were in a description or other text tag. If you enter this changed URL in a browser you get a web page, and presumably this is what the Store is seeing.
This use of server-side scripting to handle your file access is asking for trouble and you would be better off using the actual URL of the file,
http://thecity.sg//wp-content/uploads/sermons/12Jan14_DanielChua_The%20Master%20 Key.mp3
While we're looking at this, your filename has spaces in it. Spaces are not allowed in a URL and the feed has correctly substituted the code %20 for each space, so it does work; but it's preferable not to do this. The usual practice is to substitute an underscore for each space as you have already done for part of the file name.

HT3951 I have several tv episodes stuck in my downloads on my iPad. I receive an error, unable to download when I try to resume downloading. I can't clear them out of the download queue. How do I get rid of these from download?

Anyone else unable to download the 3/8/12 episode of The Daily Show?

Anyone else unable to download the 3/8/12 episode of The Daily Show?

Thanks for trying it out.
At least if I'm losing my mind I'll have some company; I'm getting the same page as prom. Sun tries to tell me it's my browser settings, and I keep asking them how my settings can cause them to generate a page like that, then they tell me that as far as they're concerned, the issue is closed.
Just to double-check with yawmark et al, since my original post may not have been clear: the error comes when you click on the actual download link: http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jdk-1.5.0_05-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg
I'll assume that silence means "yeah, dummy, we understood what you originally said, and it worked."

Don't take your laptop back. Find out the number for Apple Care in your part of the world and call them. Tell your story to them. If the person on the phone can't help you, ask for their supervisor. Keep asking for supervisors until you get exactly what you want to get. If that mean you want to get the problem fixed without having the computer gone for four weeks, then keep asking for supervisors till you get someone who can do that for you.
Be prepared to be on the phone for a while, so arrange a speaker phone, water to hand etc. Be patient.
As for "crappy computers"--my MBA has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. As good if not better than any Apple laptop I've ever had, and I've had several.This is the thing though, there is a percentage of failure rate that occurs in electronics. It occurs whether we're talking about televison sets or toasters. If it's electric, it has that failure rate. Now sometimes a thing will be bad and in that case the word gets out and everyone knows that particular electronic has surpassed the normal failure percentage. The Airs, however, have not done that. Their reputation, so far, has been incredibly solid and good. So you can assume that you, unfortunately, got one out of that small percentage of electronics that have an issue.
Laptops, let us remember, are doing a lot in a very small area. A lot can go wrong, and it's pretty amazing how many don't, especially given how many are made and sold. Sometimes we get the bad apple in the barrel, it doesn' t mean that the company making it has gone down hill. We hope the manager of the store, or the company, or someone will do right by us. If they don't, then we need to make sure they do. Keep asking for upper management till you get what you want.

The missing opening tags problem was caused by your pasting the contents into the forum and is not present in the actual feed. However you have two serious and two minor faults.
Your media file URL is
http://phmedia.mediaimages.net:1935/vod/_definst_/mp4:0165/12061_13536.mp4/playl ist.m3u8
This isn't a media file, it's a m3u playlist at 4kB. You need to provide a direct link to your media file and the URL must end with an extension, e.g. mp4
Your 'itunes:image' is a png which appears to be a screenshot: it should be 1400 x 1400 px or the feed won't be accepted, and it must be less the 500kB. You should choose a logo which will work when reduced to the size on the Store page.
You are missing what should be the first line of your feed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Your 'pubdate' tag reads
<pubDate>Thu Feb 20 02:39:12 EST 2014</pubDate>
There should be a comma after the 'Thu' and the '2014' should be after 'Feb', not at the end.
Your 'itunes:duration' tag reads
<itunes:duration>0:0:29</itunes:duration>
It should read
<itunes:duration>0:00:29</itunes:duration>
These last three are not fatal but should be addressed.
Finally, your title is 'iTunes1' which is valid but not a good title. You should choose something which gives an idea of the content.
