Apple Podcasts Login Fix for New Podcasters: Troubleshooting the login loop
A common issue I’ve seen with new podcasters is trying to login to Apple Podcasts with a new account. When you try to login you either get stuck in a login loop or you’re faced with the message of “Podcasts Connect requires iTunes Store account.” It’s a frustrating issue but surprisingly easy to fix and I’m going to take you step-by-step through the process.
You just need to download iTunes, if you’re on Windows, and login with your new account. You will be guided through the process to finish setting up your Apple account. Once you finish, you can log back into http://podcastsconnect.com and you’ll have access to the dashboard. It’s really that easy.

Hi
The link to Apple Podcasts connect is incorrect.
The correct link is: https://podcastsconnect.apple.com
Thanks for pointing out the broken link! It should be fixed now.
I tried this and many other things. Still can’t get past the infinite loading loop.
You might need to give it time. Apple just made some major update to Apple Podcasts and, as a result, have introduced a lot of bugs. A lot of people have reported issues submitting new shows.
I have been dealing with this all day, is there anything different on a Mac? Since I can’t download iTunes on iOS 11.2.2.
Yeah, Mac is different. The reason this has to be done on Windows is that’s the only way to finish setting up a new account. On Mac, you should be able to set it up like a normal account.
A lot of people have been having issues submitting new shows right now since Apple made these major updates.
