Updating PodCast Content

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me with this. I'm working on creating a podcast at:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=349180611
And here's the XML file I'm using:
http://www.corcoran.com/itunes/itunes.xml
I had to make some changes to the graphics, info and video URLs, and I've updated the file and pinged the store to update the pages, but for some reason it's still showing the older content after 2 days of having done this. I read somewhere on here that the store doesnt update the podcast if it finds an error in the amended feed, but I dont see anything that would cause this.
Can anyone out there in PodCast HelpLand take a look and help me figure it out?
Thanks so much in advance,
Matthew

Please see the FeedValidator Report on your feed.
It contains a fatal error at line 103 where you have an ampersand ('&') - you cannot have this in a feed since it is used to open a code, and since effectively have opened a code and not replaced it the feed becomes completely unreadable. You must replace the ampersand with the code for it:

FeedValidator also comments that you have chosen non-existent categories; you should choose from the categories listed here:

IPod playlist = no podcast content

iTunes (11.0.3.42) on Windows XP
iTouch 64 GB iOS 6.1.3
These are recent updates.
playlists on the iPod no longer receive podcast content that is set up for them in iTunes.
What this means is, the podcasts are on the iPod and iTunes, the podcasts do get updated on the
iPod, but the iPod playlist does not show the content that consists of podcasts, whereas the equivalent iTunes
playlist does show podcast content.
This makes playlists & my use of the iPod pretty useless.
I've reset & rebuilt the iPod device and this did not improve things -
in fact it made it worse, as it seems that some playlists still had
podcast content, but now none do.
playlists that consist only of podcast content aren't even made available
on the iPod; they have to have some non-podcast content before they're
even made visible. And even then, no podcast content.
Can anything be done to fix this?

I fixed it. How is one thing, but why is another.
The rebuilt iPod caused ITunes to complain about 2 items -
one was a podcast (one element of a large group) that for
some reason was no longer visible to ITunes - the file was
there, but iTunes decided it was missing. I deleted the file
and had it re-fetch. The other item was a video podcast
that was in a format iTunes said the device couldn't play.
I deleted it.
After this, the playlists on the iPod sync complete.
I'd call that a bug.
iTunes didnt complain about these items before the rebuild.

How to properly update iTunes content while traveling abroad?

Spent some time searching and found a number of threads covering T&Cs and whys and wherefores of US Citizens on extended overseas travel trying to update or purchase iTunes content. There's a lot of 'why not' but not much 'how to'.
I'm seeking the Apple-approved solution for those of us with US based iTunes accounts who are traveling or deployed overseas or take extended temporary jobs abroad. How can we legally, properly, update our podcast subscriptions, apps for iPhones, or purchase content?
Do we have to simply change the country setting at the bottom of the iTunes Store window, so we are interacting with whatever the local Store is and the content will live happily in iTunes no matter which Store it was purchased from?
Do we have to set up a new account with local credit card in every land we are assigned?
There has to be a way, it seems illogical that you can't update podcasts or apps while traveling. There's got to be an Apple-approved method for this!
If anyone knows the answer or a link to the answer or something near to it, please provide the info. The T&C are clear enough in regards to "purchases" and using the US store only from in the US, but doesn't answer the 'how-to' for customers traveling abroad who are not spending any money by getting new podcast episodes or free app updates.
So again, no need to rehash the T&C, just seeking the 'proper' way to update things if away for a while. I'll be stupefied if I hear that the official Apple answer is the iPhone content is frozen in place until I get back in US territory.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Chris.
After posting the message, I changed my iTunes Store to India (where there may be work opportunities) and there were only Apps and iTunes U content tabs, and the T&C were similar-can only shop at the store where you are connecting from. So unless the store looks different when logging in while physically in India, there wouldn't be a way to update podcasts.
I am concerned about an important distinction, though, which is 'what will work' vs. 'what is T&C compliant'...

Updating podcasts results in iTunes freezing

Updating podcasts results in iTunes freezing
iTunes works until it searches for new podcasts and then it stops working and shows the spinning beachball of death.
I am running 11.0.2 and it started immediately after installing it.
I have reinstalled itunes numerous times.
I am running 10.8.3

Well if the content is split over two different folders it can't also be in the same one. There must be some kind of semantic difference between the two, e.g. different non-printing characters...

I can't update podcasts after updating to 11.2

Widows 7 64bit. When I click the update button, things start normally for about 2 seconds then stalls. After about 3 minutes, I get a Windows message saying iTunes has stopped responding and closes iTunes. If I have task manager open while I try to update, it's obvious there's a memory leak. Memory usage gradually climbs up to about 3GB and then Windows intervenes. I've tried deleting SyncServices and even tried renaming the "Apple Computer" folder. The folder gets recreated but I still can't update podcasts. Ideas?

Any idea how to do this in Windows 8? I can't find the "Repair" option in the Windows Control Panel
It should be Control Panel > Programs and Features > iTunes > Repair.

HT1399 Installed ITunes 11.1.0.126 now updating podcasts no longer works correctly.

I use ITunes for my subscribed podcasts. The daily podcasts I get comes in three separate podcasts for the whole show and gives me the option to download all shows that I have not downloaded in the past. Hour 1, 2 & 3 would update when I selected to update podcast for all shows that had not been downloaded in the past. Now with the ITunes update, ITunes only updates the latest podcast which is hour 3 of the most recent show. It no longer allows me to get all three hours nor previous shows that I have not downloaded. I have tried all the various settings and nothing works. I am not sure why ITunes was made to work less than before, but I don't know how to get it to work properly again like it used to. If anyone can assist, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm having the exact same issue with this version of iTunes.
I have podcasts dating all the way back to 2006, my library is unmanageable now.
With a previous unrelated iTunes issue, the "repair" option in the "Add or Remove programs" (under Windows XP) fixed my problem but not this this time.

ITunes stops updating podcasts / iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!

Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share...

Updating PodCasts

Trying to update Podcasts returns the error - There was a problem downloading "podcast name". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again.
All podcasts had been updating fine until 4/3/10 and network is working fine. Does not matter what the podcast name is. I have reloaded latest version of iTunes and resubscribed to the podcasts but the problem persists.
Thanks for any help.

When ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?

when ever i click a picture in photo booth it does not automatically update its content is this a bug or i don't know how to do it?
whenever you click a picture in photobooth you have to manually insert it one by one in iphoto
i want to know is there any other option in iphoto which can do this type of thing(adding pictures automatically to iphoto )
so that i do not have to do it manually

Once you take the photo with Photo Booth, select the photo in the tray at the bottom and click on the iPhoto button just abouve and to the left:
Click to view full size
That will import the photo into iPhoto automatically. But PB does not import any and all photo taken into iPhoto automatically. That choice is left to the user.

Infopath 2007 "Updating Site Content Failed"

I get this error for just about everything I do with the forms we are publishing via Infopath 2007. I believe it is because our forms have a fair amount of Promoted fields in them (more than 30 each).
I've seen this article and think that maybe it will alleviate the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/958139
The problem is the hotifx that this references is not available for public download and when I try to go through the great new Microsoft Support site (piece of absolute ____) I am unable to get a phone number to call, submit an e-mail or anything without giving them a credit card for payment. I do not intend to pay money to get the right to download or be sent a hotfix.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can test to verify that I indeed "need" this hotfix before I spend money out of my pocket?
The forms I have published to form libraries in MoSS 2007 Enterprise have many promoted fields. I can create a new content type in the site collection via Infopath if I keep the promoted fields under about 25, however once I publish it I can no longer change the content type (get the "Updating Site Content Failed" message) and have to create a new content type to make changes to any form I have. As you can imagine this is a problem as I have to constantly change the template url on my libraries and constantly re-link all of the saved forms in the libraries.
Does anyone have any ideas how to realistically fix this outside of the hotfix?
I've tried every method I can find on the internet, but nothing seems to work.

A little more information. On the server itself I don't show any indication or problem in the Event logs related to this issue.
However, on the workstation that I am attempting to publish from (Same subnet, local Gigabit Connection) I get 4 MSSOAP Errors:
Event Type: Error      Event Soruce MSSOAP
Event Category: Generic   Event ID: 16
Description: Soap error: Connection Time out
I get two of those and two of these:
Event Type: Error   Event Source: MSSOAP
Event Category: General Event ID: 16
Description: Unspecified HTTP error.
I went into the sharepoint central admin and changed the timeout value (which was 30 seconds) in the infopath forms section to 120 seconds and it hasn't made any difference.
Edit: Yes I have tried from multiple workstations. We don't load office on the server itself or I would try from there as well.

11.3 update, podcasts won't update

Updating podcasts had stopped working, so I updated to the latest release (11.3) but it still doesn't work.
iTunes shows "last updated" as current time, so clearly thinks it's updating, but it's not. Sometimes, the update arrow spins round endlessly until I quit the app, but mostly it spins once, accomplishing nothing. I've tried manually updating an individual podcast, nothing; I've tried (from suggestions in other forums) unsubscribing then subscribing again, but it makes no difference.
When I first tried to view all my music by "songs" after updating, the window was empty, with no songs showing in the main music list and in all playlists. They did appear when changing to another view (e.g. albums). This only got fixed when I dragged a new mp3 into the window, and then they all appeared.
Any suggestions other than downloading an alternative app?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MediaLibraryService
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, 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.

Unable to update podcasts in iTunes 9 if all files are gone

I updated to iTunes 9 today. I have discovered that if there are no episodes in a podcast, then I can't update the podcast. I have to leave at least one episode in there and then I can right click and select update podcast. If I delete all episodes and right-click, the only two selections are now "Show description" and "delete".
Prior to this, once I deleted all episodes, I could still right click and select update podcast. Is this a real bug and if so, should I downgrade to the last version of iTunes before this update?
My thanks goes to anyone who can assist with this enquiry.

I immediately noticed this same problem after upgrading to iTunes 9. The only workaround that I've found is to click Refresh in the bottom right corner, but this updates all of my podcasts.
Also, I'm still trying to figure out the re-structured Podcasts tab. I want to sync all episodes of all podcasts to all of the appropriate Smart Playlists on my iPod, but the only way to do that is to use the "selected podcasts" option rather than "all podcasts" like I did in iTunes 8. That does not make sense to me.
It doesn't seem that Apple thought through these podcast changes very well for iTunes 9.
