Other podcasting clients see them fine, but not itunes. I'm stuck and need help!
Below is the code Feed for All created, can you help me to find what part of this is screwing with itunes?
Thanks much.

First I would recommend fixing the errors in your podcast, feedvalidator.org is a good place to start.
Second, in iTunes I see 2 of your 3 episodes. The one I don't see has the exact same pubdate as one that does show up. Since this is unlikely to be right, try fixing the pubdate of that item.

OK, I have repaired the problems you mentioned. Ran my feed through the feed validator and fixed a number of problems manually. Things that FFA either produced wrong and lines that I messed up when inputing into FFA.
Feed validator says everything is good to go.
But, when I go into itunes and subscribe to my podcast it downloads the most current show and that is it. I have 9 items and none of them show up, or are downloadable. I've checked the rss feeds for other shows to try and spot a difference between theirs and mine...I'm a simple man and am stuck.
Is there something else I need to do so that my items or episodes all display
in itunes?
Help, please...thanks. |

I just subscribed to that feed in iTunes through the "Advanced" menu. It shows 9 episodes and automatically downloaded the newest version.
I can download the other episodes. If you just fixed it, Apple checks every 24 hours for updates. Your other option is to unsubscribe and then subscribe to force iTunes to read the newest copy of your feed.

Thanks for checking and I'm glad to hear that you can see all 9 items. How come my itunes is not displaying all nine items? I've checked on two computers, both the most recent version of itunes.
When I update the xml file it just downloads the latest item and deletes the previous. I've checked and adjusted the settings to "download all," but nothing works. I'm stumped. |

Figured it out...wasn't too obvious. For those of you new to itunes, there is a little triangle graphic next to the title of a podcast. Click on it to expand or minimize items in that podcast.
Thanks for your help! |

Ah, yes. That is a "Disclosure Button" and a standard part of the Apple interface. To a windows user it would be less then obvious, yup.
Glad you got it working.
