Hey guys,

I'm kinda new to the whole podcasting thing and I'm having a few problems with our casts, I have made an update to our podcast but it doesnt seem to update in Itunes.

The strange thing is if you subscribe afresh it will display the new podcast shows, but not if you update from Itunes.

I do admit im completely new and not very well educated in the ways of the podcast so any advice you be great.

Thanks in advance :)

Apple's documentation of the iTunes specification clearly explains how to add a new episode to your podcast and how the iTunes Music Store will update in the "Adding Episodes" section.

Yes, FeedForAll Mac and FeedForAll Windows beta support iTunes. Basically it is saying that every 24 hours iTMS will poll your podcast to see if there are new episodes. If you want to force it to find one sooner, use one of the two URLs toward the end of that section.

I tried the new Windows Beta version which is a massive improvement from the last version, this has fixed all the issues with Itunes Update.

Cheers guys :)
