Podcast Connect - Login Loop

This is an intermittent ongoing bug which has affected a number of people. 'PeculiarFinds' posted this possible solution though I don't know how effective it is likely to be.

1. Download the itunes app
2. Open itunes app
3. Mouse over "Account" on the top menu bar
4. Click on "sign in." If you are already signed in then sign out and click on the "sign in" to sign in again.
5. It will take you to a login page. Log in.
6. It will tell you something to the affect that you are a new user and aren't able to use all services yet or something like that
7. Follow the step by step prompts. It will tell you something about a credit card but you don't have to enter one. Just fill out your name and address and continue through the prompts.
8. It will tell you that you can now log into all of apple services
9. Open the podcasts screen in the itunes app
10. On the menu on the right click on "submit podcast"
11. It will take you to a login screen. Log in
12. It will ask you to accept terms of service. Accept it.
13. It will now take you to the podcast connect and you can submit your podcast.l
14. If it doesn't work then go into the itunes app, click on "account" again, and select "authorizations-->authorize this computer" and go through that process and then try all of these steps again.

If this fails I would suggest contacting Podcasts Support. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

Thanks Roger. I followed these steps a couple of times but still repeatedly get prompted for a login. When I click on the Contact Up link on the page that you suggested it defaults to support for Books and that topic is grayed out and can't be changed. I'll just have to call Apple tomorrow. With any luck I may get some assistance.

The next step is to contact the normal Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com

They can't help with actual podcasting problems, but you should report the inability to access Podcasts Connect and Podcasts Support.

I'm in the same boat. I have an established podcast, and just recently had our domain hijacked. All I want to do is point my RSS feed to the new domain and it's impossible to login. Here's the response I received from support...

"Although we are unable to update your RSS feed URL on your behalf, you should be able to update it on your own once the Podcasts Connect looping issue is resolved. Thank you again for informing us of this issue. We forwarded this to our engineering team in ticket number 50298720 to investigate further."

I've been trying that link too, and it always says "Check back later"
