My feed has just updated. I think it is because I followed the advice on Apple Support:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html

I pinged the iTunes server to update the podcast info. You can do it by entering the following URL into a browser:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=FEEDID

where FEEDID is your iTunes podcast numeric ID. You can also use:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://FEEDURL

where FEEDURL is the url for your feed.

I also checked the validity of the feed with www.feedvalidator.org and fixed one (minor) issue. I doubt if this was the problem, however, as I left some other issues unresolved.

Good luck

Thanks for the tip! But where can I find my podcast numeric feed? I tried the URL URL and it said "no podcast found."

You should have a subscribe to iTunes URL somewhere like this:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=254921943

the last bit is our numeric feed.

I hope this helps.

Classic has hit the nail on the head with this one.

Many thanks for the epigram, Ratso - it's always good to start the day with a laugh!

All the best with your podcasting.

Thank you, my podcast dropped off and I had to put a ticket in to Apple support, did not know about this. But, I suspect it was a Podomatic based issue, noticed the stats disappeared as did my Podcast for a few days. This was while I was planning a funeral for my grandma & then evacuating my horse due to the fires after that, so if there were messages about the issues I missed them. My ranking is still not where it was in Itunes and I seem to have lost listeners, I suspect Itunes thought the podcast did not exist. Does this sound right?

Pam....

I am having no problems with iTunes. Everything that I have put up becomes available on iTunes. You might recheck your feed commands at their end.
