Memory issue with Podcast !!!

Hi,
I have several issues with the Podcast App.
- i cannot sync podcast that i have downloaded on my laptop using itunes to the iphone,
- when i download some podcast directly on the iphone, i cannot play them, i still have to stream them,
- i have uge memory issues and i think that the downloaded version of the podcast might be somewhere on the iphone, but cannot access / delete them (over 16 GO, i have more than 4.5 GO used for 'other', that are not related to anything...)
i have tried to delete / reinstall the app, but this does not change anything...
Any help ?

I have a MSI 975X Platinum rev 2 mb with a e6300 processor overclocked to 2.24ghz.
If your CPU operates @2.24 GHz, it means that you increased FSB frequency to about 348 MHz.
To make sure there is no misunderstanding here, let me point out the following:
Memory frequency is ALWAYS linked to FSB frequency by the FSB/DRAM Ratio you can select in BIOS.  If you select 1:1 for example, the BIOS will show that memory frequency is 533 MHz. This value however, only applies to the default FSB clock speed of 266 MHz:
266 MHz x 1 = 266 MHz (or 533 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
If your system is overclocked, what counts is only FSB/DRAM ratio, not the memory speed displayed in BIOS.  That means, if you set FSB/DRAM ration to 1:1 and FSB frequency to 348 MHz, your RAM will operate @:
348 MHz x 1 = 348 MHz (or 696 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
The main question is:
What are you talking about when you say, you can't make your RAM operate @800 MHz?
The BIOS does not offer a proper divider to get your RAM to 800 MHz @348 FSB clock speed to begin with.
You have the following choices if your overclock your system:
FSB=300 + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1.33
300 MHz x 1.33 ~ 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=320 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.25
320 MHz x 1.25 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=400 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1
400 MHz x 1 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
Use CPU-Z to monitor the DRAM frequency that is actually set if you are overclocking.

  • Has anyone experience iMac memory issues with One Drive (previously Sky Drive) - uses 5GB of my 8GB memory!

    I recently started experiencing memory issues with my iMac due to One Drive using up to 5GB of my iMac memory (total of 8GB). Every time I start up my iMac Activity Monitor shows One Drive uses around 4-5Gb of the internal memory for no reason. Previously Onde Drive seemed to work fine, it's only since about 2 weeks I notice this. It's really annoying as the iMac freezes up regulalrly and I need One Drive to synchronise my files across different devices.
    Has anyone experienced this too and are there any known fixes?

    Yes this is happening to me too, since the last upgrade. Eventually MacOS starts insisting I "Force Quit" all my applications as I have run out of application memory.
    OneDrive doesn't appear in that list because it's not an application... but Activity Monotor clearly shows it's the culprit, taking up 5GB+ of RAM.
    I've raised the issue on Microsoft's forums:

  • Link to report an issue with Podcast update

    Someone posted a link so we could report an issue with the Podcast app the last time there were issues with an upgrade.
    I sync with my laptop iTunes. Since this latest update to the app, when I delete a podcast in iTunes on my laptop it will not delete on my i devices during a sync with my laptop. It just grays them out and leaves them on my device. It looks like I can manually delete them, but when you click the edit function to delete them, they are no longer grayed out, so you can't tell which to delete and which to keep.
    I don't do anything with the cloud, because I have limited wifi service and do most of my updating at a free wifi hotspot.
    If someone has that online link on where to report issues, I would appreciate you posting it again and this time I will save it.

  • Apple has Major Issue with Podcast Updating

    I have been getting reports from a large number of the folks we represent at RawVoice indicating they are having the same issue with the podcast listings updating in iTunes.
    We are going to poll our 6000 podcasters and have them start watching this more closely. Everything has been working perfectly for such a long time most of us never check iTunes anymore.
    It could be some update that iTunes is doing but it is negatively effecting many podcasters because the listeners do not know enough to hit Refresh on the subscription listing.
    I know my download numbers are way down over the past week because it looks like I have not updated my show. Please check your podcast listings. If you see that they are not updating within a couple of hours of posting start submitting trouble tickets.
    Something is broke and I don't think Apple is aware of it. I am getting standard boiler plate responses back from tech support. But if they have enough submissions then they will know something is jacked up.
    Here is the info to submit a ticket, you will have to be persistent or you will not get a response.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

    try taking down the power to the ATV since the last update. Then power back on.

  • Issue with podcast v2.0 app seeing synced podcasts

    Hi Everyone,
    I would be extremely grateful if someone could explain an issue I am facing with using the new Podcast v2.0 app on my recently upgraded iphone 4S IOS 7.0.4
    I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a windows 7 x64 machine.  I have lectures, speeches etc (which I like to listen at 2x speed) that are in mp3 format from different websites etc that I download to my PC.   I add them to iTunes and change the "Media Kind" from Music to Podcast within iTunes, I have no problems applying this process, the categories & titles appear in the podcast menu and are synced perfectly fine onto my iphone 4S IOS 5.0.1.  I was naturally using the standard music app to listen to the podcasts and I was happy.
    I have now updated my iphone 4S to 7.0.4 and have added the podcast app to listen to the podcasts.  I do exactly the same process as I have detailed above, I have no issues, I can even see the numerous titles in their seperate podcasts listed under the podcast menu under my iphone in iTunes - so they have been physically synced over to the iphone.  The problem is in the new podcast app, I only have one podcast with one title listed, (the newest one) all the other podcasts & titles are not shown anywhere.  If I listen to the only title available to the end and then resync my iphone, I realise that the actual title played was the oldest one in iTunes. (not the newest as listed in the app) When I listen to the same & only listed podcast in the app (always the newest one) it is actually the second oldest title that is playing (according to iTunes)
    So obviously I assume the podcast v2.0 app is a lot stricter with or it needs additional requirements to be applied to an mp3 file in order that they are show up correctly in the app apart from simply changing the media kind in iTunes (which worked perfectly fine before in IOS 6 & below)
    My questions (sorry to take so long to get to them) are, does anyone know what those requirements are? can I apply them to the mp3 files within iTunes or do I need to use 3rd party software to modify/add them so the podcast app will see these manual podcasts?
    I hope someone can you help me out with this one as I really enjoy listening to podcasts and feel that my user experience would be greatly hampered if the limit to the availability of podcasts is only to those who have published on itunes or offer subscriptions.  The ability to add podcasts manually and have them synced via iTunes is always available so surely it is only a matter of properly formatting, labelling and adding the correct tags to the files so they show up in the podcast app.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    (P.S Somone mentioned in aonther post changing the genre to "Podcast" as well, will check that out and get back to you all)

    To confirm, changing the genre to "podcast" has no effect on displaying the entire list of titles or other podcasts in the podcast app.  I beleive the app to have a serious bug.
    I can see all the titles in spotlight search, I can search by title name or even artist name and they appear, so clearly they are available in the iphone.  Another major issue is I can't play them in the podcast app.  I can select one from spolight and the podcast app loads however it always play the same title that is playing, it won't chnage to the title I selected.
    Another oddity (bug) is I can delete the one and only title that is listed in the podcast app and it will delete it - the title name does not change however the podcast itself changes to the next one on the list.  I can keep deleting them one by one.  the title remains the same but the contents of the podcast is the next one after next one as it goes down the list.  So the app is not able to pick up & display the numerous titles even though it can play them.
    I can change the media kind to either Audiobook or iTunesU and the mp3 files are successfully listed in both the music app or ITunesU app respectively and I have no issues seeing them all, playing them or syncing them.  only issue with itunesU is can't increase to 2x speed, it says only at 1x
    There really are some major flaws with the the podcast app v2.0. I will add a new ticket to the apple bugreport site for developers concerning these issues.

  • IDCS4 V6.0 memory issue with preflight

    When I create a custom profile for preflight and run it i encounter memory issue. Hard disk starts running indefinitely and after a while InDesign crashes. I have try, by steps, to make the profile less demanding (I should try the reverse way) but instead of crashing, indesign finally sends memory error message and can crash later. Apple Activity monitor shows that sometimes indesign requires all the memory available (1,5Go)
    Any of you have ever try to set a custom preflight profile ? The basic one is really too tolerant.
    Thank you.
    I'am on Imac 3,06 2 Go

    I've spent quite a bit of time working with custom preflight profiles on my MacBook Pro, 2 Gb memory, Mac OS X 10.5.5. I have never run into a memory error. In fact, I've never ever run into a memory error in InDesign. Memory errors can occur because of defective fonts. Have you tried with different fonts? Have you tried on a different computer?
    Yes, the [Basic] preflight checks only for missing fonts, missing or modified graphics, and overset text. You need to work with custom preflight profiles depending on your particular workflow.

  • Out of memory issues with PSE 8

    I am using PSE 8 64 bit on a Dell desktop computer with Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 CPU 920 at 2.67 GHz. with 8 GB of ram. My operating system is Windows 7, 64 bit.
    My problem is that I get out of memory or insufficient ram messages in PSE Editor with some PSE tools when my CPU resource utilization reaches 37 to 38%. In other words, even though my computer is telling me I have almost 4 GB of memory left, PSE is saying it does not have enough memory to complete the operation. It looks to me as if PSE is only using 4GB of my 8 GB of Ram. Is this true and what do I need to do to allow PSE to utilize all of my available ram.

    Thanks, that does answer what the problem is, but not necessarily a solution. I like working with 8 to 10 pictures (files) in the editor tray at a time. I make whatever changes needed to each and then group 4 or 5 into an 8.5 X 11 collage. Each picture in the collage is a separate layer and each separate picture may multiple layers of its own. I print the collage on 8.5 x 11 photo paper and then put the page in a photo album. I like the pictures in different sizes, orientations and sometimes shapes, so the album and multiple picture options offered in PSE are not much help. My process eats a lot of memory, which I mistakenly thought, my 8 gb of ram would solve.
    Anyway, now that I know the limitations, I can adjust the process to avoid the memory issue and hopefully, a future version of Elements will accommodate 64 bit.
    Maybe, I am wondering, do I need to look at other programs or am I missing a PSE function that would make my chore easier.

  • Is anyone else having memory issues with Safari after updating to 10.4.7

    Safari appears to be using to much memory.
    345 Safari xxxxxx 0.10 9 317.80 MB 703.39 MB Intel
    I usually keep the program open and the computer running. However, it gets like this in under a day. This just started to happen since I update to 10.4.7.
    Using Mac OS X 10.4.7 (8J2135)
    I am curious if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone knows a work around.

    I believe that I have found the issue. The issue appears to be the Flip4Mac Universal Beta. It had worked fine under 10.4.6 as far as memory goes but must have an issue with 10.4.7. I uninstalled Flip4Mac and memory went back to normal range.

  • Issue with Podcast ap?

    Hi,
    I already posted in the podcast production community and got a response stating that my podcast feed is NOT the issue, and that it must be an IOS or ap issue.  so here we go.
    I recently took over podcast duties for our podcast.  And around a month before I took over (mid-march)  I began recieving complaints that the podcast wasn't updating to subscribers.  It seems to be mostly from people using the IOS podcast ap.  I am using it myself, and I can search for the podcast and find it, but as a subscriber the podcast will not update automatcially, or aknowledge that a new podcast has been uploaded.  I am aware that it can take a few days to update from my feed, but it still should alert subscribers when a new podcast is uploaded.
    With that said, the podcasts are being updated at the store, the podcast ap is not updating on several subscriber's iphones unless they search for it, which defeats the purpose of being a subscriber.
    Any thoughs?

  • Memory issues with Oracle BPM 10gR3 application

    Hello,
    We have been running the load test(100 concurrent users) on our web application that is developed using Oracle BPM 10gR3 and seeing stuck threads on rendering the workspace page in JSF API(method createAndMaybeStoreManagedBeans). I copied one of the stuck thread trace below. When we looked at the heap, it's full. GC also not releasing memory. From the analysis, I found that due to the lack of memory the requests are stuck. I also went through the forums and found that Oracle 10.3 workspace is a memory hogger.
    Can anyone suggest me the recommendation settings for the workspace?
    We don't have clusters setup yet and planning to setup one. Are there any limitations on the user load on workspace per node?
    Please let me know if anyone had the same issue and resolved.
    Overview of the application:
    Most of the web application is running on global interactive activities with screen flows. The process instance size is small. The Engine and workspace are deployed on the same weblogic instance.

  • Strange sorting issues with podcasts?

    I subscribe to the Onion News Network podcasts, the audio only versions, and no matter what information I change I cannot get my podcasts to sort together. iTunes keeps them together in the finder, but the app separates them. I've had two separate icons for the past few years, and now there is a third! Please see the image below and help if you can. The second view only shows 3 podcasts, as seen below.
    P.S. The new icons randomly show up when the podcasts are refreshed. Is it something on Onion's end? If so, why is nobody else asking about this!

    Hi Vetsrini,
    I have implemented the above mentioned code in my logic. But it works fine only when the nodes in the XML has the data. In case if the XML has null value in one fund, It is not sorted according to the latest records. Can u please provide an alternative how to sort the data using date? I have read in ur previous posts that the date needs to be converted into Canonical Format inorder to sort according to date. Can u please send me the syntax how to convert a date into Canonical Format? Right now the format of the date in my XML is in MM/DD/YYYY format. Please help me. I am struck up with this only issue which is causing me a trouble since 1 week.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Serious issues with Podcasts & URLs

    Hi there,
    I'm having some pretty baffling issues as of late. I decided to hook my podcast into feedburner, and that process has proven to be quite easy. Even redirecting iTunes to that URL was fine. But all of a sudden, iTunes has stopped working and cannot connect to feeds or anything of the sort.
    The original XML file iTunes used was "http://wearela.me/lamecast.xml". This was replaced with "http://wearela.me/podcasts.xml". But the replacement URL is only being pointed to by Feedburner.
    From there, there's a 301 redirect on my site from the original "lamecast.xml" to the new Feedburner URL "http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame". I also kept the original "lamecast.xml" and did a:
    <itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame</itunes:new-feed-url>
    Just to be safe. However, the 301 redirect should alleviate the need for this.
    All of this was working JUST FINE until today. Today, iTunes decided it wanted nothing to do with any of this and started throwing errors at me and other subscribers.
    I've seen two errors so far. The first is the oddest. "There was a problem downloading "The Lamecast from WeAreLa.me". Then it says (and this is the weirdest part) "The URL "http://wearela.mefeed://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame?format=xml" could not be found on this server.
    The thing is, that's NOT a legitimate URL! How iTunes even managed to smush URLs together is beyond me. Nowhere in my code do I even point to the base "wearela.me" url for the podcast. And it's tacking on a completely different URL to it.
    So this is my conundrum. I am completely in the dark and have no idea what to do from here. My feeds validate 100% and everything should work. iTunes has just decided it won't.
    Can anyone help me?

    I've seen this bizzarre combining of URLs before, but I have no idea what causes it; perhaps it's a bug in the Store, but it certainly doesn't make any sense. Unfortunately it means that the standard methods for redirecting a feed won't work as there can be no such URL for you to put a feed with a redirect tag in.
    Given this I'm afraid you have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
    The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to theDiscussions Forum: however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck you you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

  • Submitting Issues with Podcast Feeds

    Having feed issues. My host feed http://partyfavorz.podbean.com/feed is valid and I can submit it without any problems. However, I don't receive the email confirmation that it has been received and under review. In fact, I can submit it multiple times without iTunes telling me that it has already been submitted. So, I know there is an issue there. My other feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/partyfavorz (which I prefer) and iTunes tells me it's a duplicate feed. So can't submit that one. Both are valid feeds and I'm out of options for submission. Any suggestions?

    My host feed http://partyfavorz.podbean.com/feed is valid and I can submit it without any problems.
    FeedValidator cannot validate this feed because its length exceeds their limits. Attempting to subscribe manually in iTunes (from the 'Advanced' menu) fails. Loading the feed in FireFox is very slow, presumably because of the length, but I also suspect the server is being slow to respond. The feed contains masses of encoded data in the description tags which iTunes will not read and which are bulking the feed up. Evidently iTunes cannot read the feed, and this may be the reason - I can't immediately see anything in the feed to crash it but obviously I can't read every line and as I say FeedValidator doesn't help.
    My other feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/partyfavorz (which I prefer)
    This feed can be read; the FeedValidator report says it is valid but throws up a number of errors and you should look at these.
    and iTunes tells me it's a duplicate feed.
    Not sure why, since it's not in the Store.
    I would suggest, since you say you prefer the feedburner feed, that you look at the Feedvalidator comments and deal with anything which seems necessary. Then change the title of the podcast slightly (you can change it back later) and if possible the feed filename. That will make it look like a different podcast and you may be able to submit it.

  • Issues with podcast submission, tried multiple options

    I’m trying to submit a new podcast to iTunes.  I’m using podpress on Wordpress and hosting the mp3 files on our servers.  I know podpress isn’t ideal but it seems to be the only one I’ve found that work with our website.  The subscribe to podcast by url is working fine, it downloads all the needed information. 
    http://centralfloridatop5.com/category/orlandotourismreport/feed/
    But when I try to submit the podcast I keep getting the ‘We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed’ message.  I’ve checked multiple times the picture size, file with no spaces and other options I’ve found on these boards.I even had our IT guy take a look at it and he seemed to not know what the issue was.
    I tried the regular blog feed http://centralfloridatop5.com/feed/ and it works for the podcast by url but again not the Submit a Podcast feed url.
    I’m not out of options and don’t know what to try next.  Any ideas?

    As you say your feed can be subscribed to OK. I can't see any obvious reason why it's falling over on submission, though there are a few minor points:
    Your server is a bit slow to respond, though I wouldn't have thought the delay was long enough to cause a timeout.
    Your filenames have spaces in them. Spaces are not allowed in a URL, but the feed is handling this correctly by substituting the code %20 for each space so it shouldn't be causing a problem, it's just messy.
    The 'length' attribute in your 'enclosure' tags is set to '1'  - it should be the file size in bytes. I wouldn't have thought this would have caused a problem.
    Sometimes the submissions process falls over - I can only suggest waiting a day or so and trying again.

  • Several issues with podcasts

    basically i already had a podcast on itunes, and the host i WAS with wouldn't let me add itunes tags to it, it would let me even look at the rss feed apart from a basic link, so i deleted all the stuff from the host and am now looking for a better host?
    so the issues i would like to be cleared up
    1> who is the best host to go with? cheap or free would be ideal but i understand if paying is a major thing
    2> my last podcast is still up on the itunes store and i need that podcasts name as its for my business. i asked for it to be removed via the report a concern button, how long will it take to be removed?
    3> what is the best way to make the rss feed? i know some websites can make them but if some restrict you from editing them, like with my last host.
    thank you for any help

    1. You can host a podcast on any comptetent website hosting service provided that it handles 'byte-range requests' - the method used by iPhones and now mandatory for the Store. There are also services which can host your podcast and make the feed for your, such as Libsyn (Robert Walch, who posts here, works for them and can give you detailed information and encouragement about its use: it's not free). WordPress is popular but complex if you want to do your own hosting, though I don't know whether it's available for Windows. However its complexities lead to more queries on this forum than any other single process. There may be Windows programs which will create a feed but I can't advise on that platform. Most free hosting services are problematic - as they have to make a profit, which they often do by adding adverts to web pages, which they can't do with media files, they have no interest in doing this. Audio hosting services often tie you down badly and are really geared to their own web pages with embedded players. Some also have serious bandwidth restrictions which could become problematic if you get popular.
    2. Ideally what you need to do is to add the redirection tag to the old feed. However you evidently can't do that; your next best option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move the Store to using the new feed. This will keep the same iTunes Store page, but subscribers will lose contact with the feed. (The redirection tag will also redirect subscibers.) Don't be in a hurry to get the podcast removed - you might have trouble re-submitting a feed with the same title. On the other hand, if your existing feed is currently empty or missing that is likely to get you removed anyway. I can't give you a timescale for anything the Store does.
    3. Many of the services and programs which create podcast feeds for you don't allow you to edit the code. In fact I'm not sure that any of the major ones do. You could hand-write the code - it's actually not difficult, but you it's unforgiving - a tiny mistake can render it unreadable - so you have to have a clear idea what you are doing. I wouldn't recommend it, but it does give you absolute control.
    My 'get you started' page on podcasting includes a sample basic feed you could use as a template, and some general information which might help (though it's Mac-biased as I don't use Windows).
