Unable to subscribe to Podcasts anymore

Hi all, I recently moved my iTunes Library to Users / shared folder and ever since have not been able to update or Subscribe to Podcasts.
When I attempt to update an existing Podcast a small exclamation mark appears along side the podcast folder.........I'm a big Podcast user and am really missing them, does anyone have any suggestions to solve this?
Regards

I found this article from Apple http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300870#mac24 it claims the problem is either:
(a) out of date software (I updated 7.6.1 and I had the problem before and after the update)
(b) keychain problem (I've verified my keychain, and also logged in manually without any luck)
(c) My ISP is blocking traffic (I posted on the IGN Mac forum and another user is on the same ISP in the same city with no issues)
I really hope it's not the ISP, Apple points to a document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439) I should use to help my ISP configure their servers correctly - yeah right, like my ISP is really gonna do that!

Unable to subscribe to podcasts

I'm trying to subscribe to Oprah's/Tolle's podcast. I can get to the podcast, but the 'subscribe' box is faded, and doesn't do anything when I click on it. I'm able to buy all the songs, books, etc that I want, but I'm unable to subscribe to any podcasts.
I checked to see that I have the most recent version of iTunes, and I've ran the system diagnostic (which came back fine). I'm able to download/purchase everything except podcasts. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue too! I was able to do it on another computer, but I can't seem to do it on the computer to which my ipod touch is linked with. It's driving me nuts. I have the latest verision of itunes, and I dont' know what else to do!! Help!

Unable to subscribe to podcasts in ItunesU

Hi folks,
I know this was an issue back in August 06, but is there a way for students to select the subscribe button to subscribe to podcasts in ItunesU? I know that Berkeley or Stanford has this working but I never saw an answer to this problem in the thread in late summer. I've put up both mp3 files and used Garageband to create enhanced podcasts for import into ItunesU, but the subscribe buttons don't show even if the album info is set to "original."

Hi. Check the 'Edit Track Preferences' area in your admin links. You should see an option to 'Enable Course page podcasting'.

[Torch 9860] Unable to subscribe podcasts over Wi-Fi

Hello,
I have a Torch 9860 running 7.1
I am unable to subscribe to podcasts over Wi-Fi.
Is there anything I can do to make this functional?
Thanks,
medacomix15

i dunno. If you are home, and the computer is home - why not just plug it in? I tried the wifi syncing when it first came out, and there is so much data flying back and forth - a momentary loss or hiccup in the wifi signal scews up the sync. To me, just not worth the effort.
System updates, on the other hand seem to work fine . That is a one way data transmission with checks and resends as needed - more or less just a large download.

Unable to subscribe to or use podcasts?

I am a long time itunes user and was wanting to use podcasts, however it appears that itunes does not want to let me. I am unable to click on and download any in itunes and the podcasts icon does not show up in my library. I went to preferences and tried to show podcasts in my library, but I am unable to (it is greyed out) I also cannot click in Advanced -> Subscribe to podcasts as this is greyed out too. Any tips?

Hey.
I had this same problem. It seems that my Parental controls had Podcasts checked to be disabled. By clicking this I was able to download and subscribe to Podcasts again. Not sure what happened.
I went to Preferences>Parental>Uncheck the box next to Podcast (having this box checked causes it to be disabled).
Hope this helps.

Unable to subscribe to my podcast... weird message from iTunes. Ideas?

Help. I am unable to subscribe to my podcast...weird message from iTunes saying that The item I requested is currently not available in US stores. This a a FREE podcast and it appears that way when I do a search for it. However, it does not appear in the category I put it in.
When I go to Advanced and put in the URL manually it does work.... but that makes it difficult for viewers. I want them to see it in Podcasts>Arts & Entertainment>Photography and then be able to subscribe.
What can I do now?

Is your library located in the Pictures folder? See if you can do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database if necessary.
Also to see if you've inadvertently installed some malware or adware download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

Make sure your network connection is active and try again.

I was unable to download episodes from a season I purchased. It kept giving me the same "connection has been reset" error message. But I went and clicked on support under quick links in iTunes and it allowed me to start downloading from that screen. I didn't have to go into anything, it just automatically popped up that I had items to download and asked if I wanted to download them. I clicked on it, it prompted me for my password, and then started downloading them instantly.

ITunes U App downloaded, but unable to subscribe

I downloaded the iTunes U app on my iTunes v 11. I am still unable to subscribe to and download lectures from iTunes U.
I plan to view these lectures on my windows 7 pc. Are there any suggestions for how to fix this? Do I need to submit and enrollment request before I can subscribe?
Thanks

I fixed my own problem.
The lecture series was in Podcast form. I had the default Parental Control settings on my iTunes viewer; which disabled Podcasts and internet radio. I simply had to enable these features and I was able to subscribe and download the necessary lecture series.

ITunes does not show up my podcast anymore!! help!!

Hi all, please help.
Last week I have noticed that the iTunes store doesn't list my podcast anymore.
I have talked to the iTunes people via e-mail but its been useless!
PLease would you know why??? not its not a bad/dirty podcast. I have noticed other podcast like mine and they all still up and running. I have 9.000 subscribers to my podcast and iTunes its making this situation really bad for me!! please help..no do not send me to the Q/A of apple ..you never get the thing you need..
I really think iTunes has messed up with my podcast nad now i v to pay the consequences !!
here my podcast well up on podbean

About the copyright issue . There are millions of podcast that they actually do the same thing, and they still up and running. So why We have been deleted??
No one on here can tell you exactly why the people running the iTunes Store do anything. What I suggested is a possibility, but I can't say that it's certainly the problem. However, the fact that a lot of other podcasts also include uncleared copyright material doesn't really come into it - it may be that you were unfortunate enough to be noticed and they haven't been. The fact is that if you - or anyone else - are using copyrighted material without getting proper clearance then you are breaching copyright (not that I care, but the owners might): this is one of the reasons iTunes lists for removing podcasts, so it may or may not be the problem.

Batch Subscribe to Podcast (add multiple Feed URLs at once)

Is there any way to Subscribe to many podcasts at once given their feed urls? I currently have an Excel file containing the feed URLs
The "Subscribe to Podcast..." only allows entering a single URL. I have tried various delimiters (<newline>, ",", ";", etc.) to no avail.
Is there any other sort of feed import option I am missing?
Thanks

A workaround I have resorted to is making .url Internet Shortcut files for each feed URL, selecting multiple shortcuts at once and then dragging them into the iTunes Podcasts list.
I've created a simple python script to take a text file containing URLs and generate an internet shortcut for each:
https://github.com/protonmesh/Utilities/blob/master/URLsToShortcuts.py
If you know of a better way, please share!

Is "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." better than via iTMS?

Am I right in thinking that if I subscribe to a podcast via the subscribe button I do not link directly to the podcast's feed but to an Apple server that redirects me to the feed, and that there is a significant delay between a podcast appearing on the feed and it's appearing on Apple's server, whereas if I subscribe manually via "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." I link directly to the feed and hence get my podcasts all the sooner?
Gosh what a long sentence.
Gordon

Sometimes.
Apple runs an extra review pass on XML feed files that can result in a podcast no longer updating in the store. Maybe the author adds an iTunes tag incorrectly or something like that.
Also, Apple does appear to cache some of the more popular podcasts. This does often result in a delay in seeing new podcasts compared to using a direct Subscribe URL. But it can also mean that those podcasts download much faster for you since they come from an Apple sponsored location.
For a couple podcasts I now subscribe to both the iTMS feed and the podcaster's direct feed. When the iTMS feed starts working again, I'll unsubscribe from the direct feed.
The bottom line is that podcasts come from a variety of sources and you need to check the podcaster's web site now and then to make sure your feed hasn't fallen behind for some reason.

Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
Thanks.

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Subscribe to Podcast/Subscribe to rss won't work on my iweb created sight.

Hello,
I am trying to get my podcast to sync up with itunes. I tried to make some changes to my original site, screwed it up, fixed it all but re-syncing. I have tried everything I can think both in itunes and iweb. At this point there isn't even a button where there used to be. As you can tell I am at a loss. Could someone walk me through it. I am getting really frustrated. I have mobileme. I tried going to the insert>button>subscribe to podcast button. I have tried to subscribe through itunes in the advanced>get podcast. I don't know what else to do. All the obvious solutions have been used up.

Same problems with my site. I have MobileMe also. RSS and Podcast subscription doesn't work at all.
Thanks for all advices.
