Podcast Connect Login Error

I just started up a podcast and was trying to sign in to Podcast Connect to even try and get it approved. When I click on the Podcast Connect it just sends me back to a login screen for iTunes connect.

There have been a number of instances of this happening. Make sure you are logging in with the same ID with which you are logged in in iTunes, and that you have a payment method registered in iTunes (there is no charge for podcasts but it seems to help). Failing that you should attempt to contact Support, though there have cases of problems over that (it has been reported to Support). Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

I had the same problem and almost went crazy.


I solved the problem by logging in to all apple related apps on my macbook with the same account. (App store and itunes).


I had to put in a credit card to the app store to do anything of this.


Then when logging in to itunesconnect.apple.com I was finlly getting to the Accept terms and conditions page. I did so but got looped back to the log in page. I logged in and accepted the terms again and then like a seeing a shooting star in the sky, I was logged into iTunes Connect!


Halleluja!!


Such a hazzle! Please apple improve this!

Unfortunately, when I go to iTunes Connect Resources and Help and click Contact Us, it redirects me back to the iTunes Connect page that the Podcasts Connect login redirects me to. I've done all the steps outlined in all the other posts (make sure I'm logged in and authorized in iTunes Desktop with a valid credit card in the account). Do you know of any alternate means of contact for the Podcasts Connect team?

Hi Roger,


Thanks for all of your sage advice these past few years. The link you mention, https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview


Then the advice to click on "Contact Us" at the bottom of the screen just takes us to "ITunes Connect" log in page where we can't log in...and please note it leads to "ITunes Connect" and not "Podcast Connect".


Do you have any other suggestions? There is this ongoing problem where we are all stuck in a "log in loop", regardless of method tried.


Thank you!
