Recommend best apps for submitting, promoting

I’ve just begun creating a podcast. As I don’t have a .mac account, I’d like to hear from experienced podcast producers as to which apps you consider most helpful and/or essential (for upload and promotion only.)
Once I have my mp3/m4a FTP’d up to my web server, these three programs seem to do pretty much the same thing: take the data I enter and spit out a nice, neat xml file. Sort of like using iWeb to build a simple website. Yes?
1. FeedForAll, http://www.feedforall.com/
2. Feeder, http://reinventedsoftware.com/feeder/
3. Podcast RSS Buddy, http://www.tolley.info/rssbuddy/
Any input on any of these?
Before I throw around another $30 or so, I want to know: can I do what these do by writing a simple .xml of my own? For example:
http://www.guidesandtutorials.com/podcasting-tutorial-step3.html
Does this have everything I need, especially for iTunes?
Next, a question about PROMOTION. Feedburner (http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home) claims it'll get better search engine results. If I use good keywords for search purposes, does Feedburner provide any real benefit? What else can I do to get search engines "aware of" the podcast?
Finally, what other programs or resources might you recommend for a noob, for what purposes?
Thanks,
cb

Go to the iPad Today Podcast number 43 (4/29/2011) in iTunes.  That podcast covered note taking apps.

    Is pages the best app for creating wedding programs, or would you reccomend something free or cheaper?

    As the question is asked three times, I guess that you wish to marry three times.
    From my point of view, the best app to do this or that is the one with which we are comfortable.
    Every Word processor may be used to achieve your goal.

  • What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

    I phone 5 need to use any antivirus ? If i want to use which is the best app for i phone 5

    It is certainly not a virus. There are none.
    Try the basic troubleshooting steps.
    Start here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    Sometimes all that is required is to restart the iPhone.
    The final step is to restore it. Always back up your iPhone first.

  • What's the best App for cleaning/speeding up Mac using Lion?

    Can anyone recommend an App for cleaning/speeding up my iMac and Macbook Pro, both of which use Lion?
    Hard drive space is not really the issue, but I can't help feeling that my iMac is not as nippy as it used to be - my basic requirements are:
    1) Easy to use. I'm a competent user, but no guru.
    2) Will confirm details of what is is deleting, cleaning before it does it.
    3) Is reliable and won't crash or bugger-up my system.
    4) Actually works - as I said, don't really need to reclaim storage, but would like to speed up my mac
    5) Doesn't cost the earth.
    You thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Cheers all,
    Simon.

    Do the below and keep your boot drive below 50% filled and not more that 80%, that's about all you can do without a full reinstall of the OS.
    12: OnyX cache cleaning
    Category: OS X, application and User account software related
    Description: Gives OS X, application and user account caches a enema, lets then rebuild again new, resolves strange and unknown issues based on cache files being corrupted .
    Only cache files are removed, not users data, files, programs or OS X. Some settings will be set back to normal in Finder and other locations. Spotlight will rebuild a new database.
    Problems possibly resolved: Varied: Flash install issues, Dock/Finder/File issues, "ghost files", performance and privacy related
    Instructions:
    Apple doesn't supply a easy method for the user to self clean the caches, thus we have to turn to third party software.
    Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks, stop if any give a warning, you have a bigger problem. See #4
    Run though all the Maintenance and Cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
    You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues.  You need to REBOOT at the end of using OnyX. Canceling the in-between reboot requests is fine.
    Read Step #13 and  perform the Verify > Preferences before rebooting at the end of using OnyX.
    Get the free OnyX here:  http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx  More info:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnyX
    Just a few of OnyX many successes:

  • Advice on best app for tracking iphone

    I want to be able to track my kids iphone behind the scenes, what is the best app for this. I do not want my child to know the app is running.

    Yes, I kind of guessed that. What I mean to say is that the service must not depend upon an App running upon the phone but uses the towers themselves and the inbuilt GPS providing the location.
    The alternative would be a hacked phone with the hacking done by AT&T instead ?

  • What's the best app for taking a video on ipad2?

    I am a tennis coach and am looking for an app for my iPad2 to do video analysis. I need to be able to video someone doing a serve and then show it to them in slow motion and be able to pause it. What's the best app for this?

    Do some research into HTML5 video. Unless the user is using a modern browser with video playback capabilities, they would need to have an app to provide video playback, as well as the codecs for the video file format that you will be serving them. At this point in time, MP4 is the "clear(est)" winner of the online video formats. However not all browsers provide built-in playback. For instance, Firefox currently does not support MP4. Future Firefox builds will rely on whatever video playback the native OS provides. So coming back to your question - no, there's no real way of guaranteeing video playback on the web. You do the best you can and provide links to users where they can download the appropriate codecs and players and call it a day.

  • What's the Best App For Watching Videos on iPad Air?

    Okay, so there's no Flash past, present or future for the iPad.  I read some discussions here in the archives from a year and two ago about which workaround works around best (or least badly).  Is there any update now as of December 2013 for what's the best app for viewing videos online on the iPad (Air)?  Thanks.

    I downloaded the new (2013) version of Photon and it's been playing, appropriately enough, episodes of Star Trek: TAS that otherwise require Flash.   The one thing I have to remember is to click the goofy lighting bolt icon toward the top right-hand corner of the Photon screen when I return to warch an episode if I stopped in the middle.  Basically it will turn off the "Flash" emulation when the screen goes dark with inactivity, and then when you reopen Photon it crashes and you have to re-reopen Photon, click on the link to return to the website, and then click the lightning bolt icon.  I don't know why the producers made it that way, as it's pretty inconvenient, but maybe they wanted to make a browser more than a Flash emulator.  I haven't tried other Flash videos yet, but so far, so good.  :-)

    Can anyone recommended an app for excel spreadsheet. One that I can username iPad that can do the same functions as excel of desktop,or laptop ??

    Thanks for the advice. Just don't want to waste money on apps trying to get the right on. Not looking to do too much, just add filters maybe create a pie chart. Will the app you mentioned give added sums at the end of the spreadsheet like it would on the windows version?

  • Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for the job ?

    Hi,
    Is the 'Undercover' app the best app for help finding a lost iPhone/Touch or is there an app that does a better job ?
    Thanks

    Short of getting MobileMe that is probably the best you are going to come up with. You will have to hope that whoever finds the iPhone actually plays the game and that you check for this information close to the time they do so. You also need to hope they don't connect the iPhone to their computer which will wipe the app from the device.

  • Can anyone recommend an app for downloading bank statements (.csv/.qif) directly on to my iPad

    Can anyone recommend an app for downloading bank statements (.csv/.qif) directly on to my iPad that will allow me to analyse my money flow....no account management needed. I just need something v simple that can take my statement and produce graphs etc....thanks

    1, Photos are stored within your computer's iTunes, you just use iTunes as a means for trasnferring them to the iPad. Connect your iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you want more control over the photos that you copy to the iPad (e.g. the ability to delete them directly on the iPad, re-order them etc) then you could consider a third-party photo-management app instead of the built-in Photos app e.g. Photo Manager Pro
    2, options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents and Numbers for Excel spreadsheets.  And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
    3, You first need an app on the iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Is Imovie the best app for history of a business

    Is Imovie the best app for making a presentation on the history of a business?  It caused multiple crashes on my MacBook Pro and dowloaded commercials did not have audio at all. 

    Obviously if it's crashing it isn't....Powerpoint is the classic presentation program. iMovie is capable if you get it working, as is any video editing program. Powerpoint or other classic presentation programs have the advantage of being able to go back to sildes and incorporate pdfs you can print and such so while iMovie can make a good presentation, it's really a video editing program and whether it's right for you depends on your audience and how you want to communicate with them. Personally I loathe iMovie but that's because I edit in Final Cut Pro 7. Your crashing is a whole 'nother topic...
