Password-protected podcasts; does Podcasts app support?

Now that a beloved podcast has gone behind a paywall, I'm in need of support for password protection in Podcasts app. The workaround in iOS5 was to enter the password on iTunes on the Mac, and the program would update to the Music app on the iPhone. Now, the Music app no longer supports podcasts at all, and the password-protected podcasts seem to transfer to the iPhone intermittently. And certainly, there seems to be no support or subscribing to password-protected apps from Podcasts app directly.
Or am I missing something?

I've been getting a similar problem. When I update my podcast feeds, if I don't press ok on the password window before it times out, it kills Itunes. I think what is happening is that Itunes is start to request the feed, gets an "I want an user name and password" dialog from the server and then pops up a window. If you don't respond in time, the far server ends the session, and when you finally do respond, itunes can't handle the response from the far server and crashes.
What needs to happen is that Itunes needs to say "I have a username and password associated with this feed" and automatically send that, then only prompt the user if there is a response from the server saying there is a problem.
That being said, I still have the same problem of not finding a place to report this bug as well.

    I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iPod Utility for Windows hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's probably not supported in Windows 8. Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode?

  • Password protected RSS feed / podcast on N95 N ser...

    I have a feed subscription that I pay for and it is password protected.  The N95 podcast player doesn't seem to be able to access it.
    I've tried http://[email protected]
    This works on a computer, but not the N95.
    Can anyone help?

    For you developers out there - an option for you is to download my
    RSS Reader web part for free and edit the code. You can set the credentials of the WebRequest to something other than default credentials.
    Search for this line of code: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
    I wrote this web part as an alternative to the RSS Viewer Web Part because not everbody has MOSS. Plus, it is open source so you can customize the look and feel, and it's behavior.

  • How robust is PDF-Password protection? Does it also work for PDF/A?

    Several sources say that PDF passwords can be removed with appropriate software. Is this true?
    Can I also protect a PDF/A with a password? If not, how can I be sure that I can still open a regular password protected PDF in 10 years from now?
    Many thanks.

    Actually PDF/A is specifically designed to guarantee that the documents can be read in the distant future (barring global destruction, end of reality as we know it, alien sheep invasions, etc.)
    While we cannot predict which vendor will be providing the software to do it, or how the data will be stored by then (holographic data mice are still in beta) the PDF/A standard is designed to do two very important things:
    The standard is open, so the structure of a PDF/A file can be interpreted by anyone who can open it and compare the contents to the standard (which itself is also published in PDF/A). It's basically a text file with lots of symbols in it.
    PDF/A forbids any encryption or licensed algorithms (e.g. H.264) that could be impossible or illegal for a future viewer to use, for example if a password is lost or the inventor of a proprietary algorithm goes crazy and cancels all the licenses.
    Combined, these points make PDF/A impossible not to be parsable. It may end up projected directly into your brain by the aforementioned holographic data mouse, but you'll be reading it all the same.

    As to your ability to open a secured password in 20 years from now? Heck there is no guarantee that your non-secured pdf file will be readable in 20 years. With PDF/A your chances are pretty good as it uses standards based file format, but there is no guarentee that Adobe or any other company doing business today will be in business 20 years from now.

  • Does mail.app support exchange 2010 contact pictures

    Hello,
    I am using mail.app ver 6.2 on Mountain lion 10.8.2 and connecting for email to my corporate Exchange Server 2010. I can see the GAL entries and send/recieve email fine, but in my company we heavily utilise employee photos (i believe its via the AD attribute thumbnailphotos) and that does not appear to be syncing or working on mail.app or contacts.app. I spent ages on google trying to work out wether this is an unsupported feature of something isnt working right on my setup? I am begining to think Exchnage 2010 is not fully supported yet as IOS seems to have the same issue when adding users from the GAL to contacts they dont appear in the sync'd contact on the iphone either.
    thanks
    Andrew

    Yes, OSX's Mail in SL works with Exchange 2010.  (I was running that combo before I upgraded to OSX Lion.)

  • Does Mail.app support multiple mail profiles similar to Outlook?

    My wife an I use one user account for our iMac. We are new to Apple as a whole. Though I am loving every minute of it, I don't want to be cornered. She and I find it a pain to have two user accounts when all we do is surf the internet and use iTunes. So, while logged on to a single user account, is it possible for I to open Mail.app that has my gmail, work, etc. and her to open Mail.app with her yahoo and the like? I want to use Mail.app if I can, I like the simplicity of it and hopefully fully integrated with my iPad and our upcoming iPhones.
    Thanks and hopefully this hasn't been posted before (though I'm sure it has). I found a few things on the net close to what I was looking for, but the posts just dropped off before I could get my answer. . . go figure.
    Thanks everyone,
    Philip

    No. But there are ways around it:

  • How to creat a Password protected folder for pics, apps, contacts

    I have kids who like to use my ipad and iPhone to play their games. But they can also sometimes accidentally click on apps of mine which they surely should not. Is there a way to put my apps which I would like to keep from them in a folder and then make it so that folder has to have a pass code to enter? I have not seen any thing like this and don't now why

    There is nothing like that because Apple hasn't included the feature. Third party app developers don't have access to the iOS at that level. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Is there a way to password protect files in the iPad version, or, password protect access to the app

    like I can with dropbox

    You're comparing apples and oranges.
    Dropbox is a "cloud" application that allows you to share files or folders of files with others.
    Adobe Reader is a "reader" application that lets you view a PDF file.
    Why are you trying to stop people from viewing a PDF in Reader? What's your workflow?

  • Is it possible to password protect a single app like Mail?

    Is it possible to password protect a single app like Mail?

    Password protect the Mac Mail app is useless,and would not prevent access to your mailboxes.Your email is stored in files under your home folder,so you must password your mail folder.

  • Looking for App/Setting for Messages/Mail password protection

    Well its a bit simply really, I am just looking for something that will allow me to password protect mainly my messages, although it would be nice if i could password protect other apps or things on my phone, but its mainly for messages
    Is there some kind of app that will allow me to do this?
    I dont think there is anything in settings but a general password, which it only asks for when you unlock the phone

    I've has smartphones since before they were called that, and I've never had one that could password protect only the email app. There's nothing to understand or not understand; the iPhone cannot password protect just email. You can lock the phone with a passcode. That's it.

  • Is there a way to password-protect the Mail app?

    I've looked through the Settings and didn't see anything. I know I can password-protect the entire device, but that seems like overkill.
    Is there something I'm missing or even an app that would let me password-protect just the Mail app?

    Seriously, if I want to hand someone my Touch, there's no way of keeping them from accessing my email? Why wouldn't there be a setting to secure your mail -- or, to paraphrase the ads, why isn't there "an app for that"?

  • Password protect single folio app

    Is there a way to password protect a single folio app on the Apple app store?
    We would like for the user to be required to put in a username and password the first time they open the app.
    We do not have an enterprise account. Is this possible?

    It is not possible with a single edition app, and is only possible in the enterprise edition if you develop a custom storefront.

  • Password Protect Folders/Pictures

    I have a motorola xoom and a razr maxx and have not been able to find any information or how to's on the following:
    Can you password protect certain folders or apps?  I have a five year old son and he frequently plays games and apps on my phone and tab, but I don't want him to access certain apps or files.  So I moved them into a folder on the home screen, but can't find a way to lock the folder.  Does anyone know how to lock the folders (password protect) or apps?
    I also have pictures that I would like to move from the camera/gallery and hide the pictures, but can't seem to do this to photos that are already in the gallery?

    As demmo86rt stated, a third party app from the Play Store will accomplish this - ES File Explorer allows you to "hide" folders, and move things to and from an SD Card more easily than the built in file system; other file manager apps may allow passwording and other options.  Explore the Play Store, read reviews, try the apps to see what works for you.

  • Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

    Whenever i try to put a password-protect my site i keep on getting an error message when im publishing to my .Mac account. "there was an error updating your .Mac account". When i publish my site without the password protection everything goes smoothly and no problems.
    Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?
    Does it take time for this feature to work? (i only bought the subscription and registered to .Mac yesterday)
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
    told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
    hope the next few updates are less awry.

  • Edit multiple password-protected PDFs using Photoshop CS5 Javascript scripting.

    Good Evening,
    Situation: I have a huge stack of PDF files and I'm using Photoshop CS5 to slice out previews and other things automatically, using a self-built javascript. Some (100+) of these PDFs are password-protected. I have the password to these files.
    Problem: Every time the script tries to open one of the protected PDFs it will open a popup, stop the whole process and wait for the user to input the password.
    Question: Is there a way to add the password to the open command of the app.open(...) function? Or more simply put, can this be fully automated?
    What I looked at so far: "PDFOpenOptions", "app.open(...)", the javascript reference("photoshop_cs5_javascript_ref.pdf") in general.
    Basic Example code:
    var f = new File("path to some password protected PDF");
    var d = app.open(f); //this will trigger the password popup
    doSomethingWithMyDocument(d);
    d.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have access to Photoshop CS6 as well, if that somehow solves the problem.
    If I'm looking at a dead-end, feel free to tell me too.

    It is possible to do that via Scripting.
    If you are unable to create such a Script maybe you should look up the chapter »Creating data-driven graphics« in the documentation.
