A Newbie HD Podcast Download Question ... Help Request

I have an 80GB video iPod. I've successfully subscribed to a number of video podcasts and can download/play them without difficulty. However, I'm interested in subscribing to an HD podcast (a London, England landscape podcast that is only published in HD format). For some reason, I keep receiving an error message that indicates that I can't play this on my iPod ... so it doesn't download. Am I doing something wrong or are these simply not compatible with my iPod? Thanks for any help you can offer up!

While I'm a stout supporter of DW, it's recordset functions are sorely lacking and you will do yourself a huge favor by learning how to write the query yourself. In this scenario you need to run a query with the WHERE statement of "WHERE {id user selects} = AlbumID". That result will return many results, I assume. The way the SQL query works is it returns the value into an array. The following is a tutorial going over the basics of a while loop with SQL queries:

If you have any issues or questions trying to implement that loop feel free to post back. But having that understanding will help in trying to explain anything in further detail if you run into issues.

Question / Help request

I have recently moved all my RAW files onto my external hard drive and deleted them from my computer where I kept them before. This meant re-importing files into Lightroom again but I got a nasy surprise that not a single edit I did to those pictures / files was actually saved onto the file. View NX which I got with the camera saved all the changes automatically onto the RAW file (or at least asked you if you wanted to save the changes before moving on) which means that all edits I did before on there are fine but not a single Lightroom edit was kept.
I will assume I did something wrong and being new to this software I didn't save the changes somehow. I would appreciate if someone could tell me if there is a way to restore those edits which I seem to have lost or at least how do I stop this from happening again and by that I mean how do I make sure that edits are actually saved onto the RAW file as opposed to "do it again after you copy the image" sort of situation.
Thanks in advance.

David,
From your questions I gather that, indeed, you have to learn some basic things about Lr. Without knowing these things one comes to grief. I'm not condescending, but ... been there, done that ...
I try to answer your questions without going to deep into the matter:
Lr saves everything that you do in its data base, called the "catalog". In Lr speak "catalog" always refers to this data base, not to images. The saving to catalog is automatically done; you don't have to hit <Save>.
This catalog is a file that is different from and stored in a separate place than your image files. Since the catalog contains all your edits it becomes as important as your image files. Hence the strong recommendation to always (meaning after each Lr session) make a backup of the catalog.
In addition to the catalog there is an option of "saving to file" (which should be read as "saving to image file"). This "saving to file" does not replace saving to catalog, it is an additional saving. You can set Lr to do this automatically by enabling <Automatically save changes to xmp>, or you can do it manually (for individual images or for a group of selected images) by going >Metadata >Save metadata to file - or shortcut Ctr. / Cmd. + S (letter S on keyboard).
Among all the other things Lr stores in its catalog also the names and location of your image files and folders. When either of these is changed outside of Lr (in your OS) you get question marks besides the folders and on the frame of images (in Grid View). This is the indication that Lr has lost the connection to your images / folders and does not "know" where they are. When this happens, the right procedure is to re-connect Lr to the correct location of images / folders.
So, when you move images or image folders, or you rename images or folders, or you change the folder structure - and if you do this outside of Lr - you have to re-connect Lr with the new location.
When a folder shows the question mark, right-click it and select <Find missing folder>, then navigate to the correct location of the folder and click on it. The same procedure applies when you change the folder name outside of Lr: Lr will show the folder under its old name with a question mark, so you do the <Find missing folder> procedure.
When only individual images are missing, you left-click the question mark on the frame of the image (in Grid View) and select <Locate>, then navigate to the correct location and click on it. Same procedure when you changed the name of an image file. When you click on the re-named file you will be asked to confirm that this is the correct file.
This would have been the correct procedure after you moved your images to the external drive.
But you can avoid all this, when you just do all of your image management in Lr. Drag-and-drop folders or images to a different location - in the folders panel. Rename folders or image files in Lr - right-click and select <Rename>. When you do these things in Lr, it will keep track of the changes.
The background of all this is, that Lr is not a browser based program, i.e. Lr does not automatically "see" what is on the hard drive. So changes done outside of Lr are not automatically "seen" or "recognized" by Lr.
I recommend that you watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. They are excellent, and different from books insofar as you will see on your monitor what the instructor does, where he points the mouse, where he clicks, etc.

Also Victoria Bramptons website is very good: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/ She also wrote a book.
Martin Evening's book on Lr has also been recommended on this forum by various posters. I don't recall the exact title.

Matrix balance question / Help Request

Is there a way to balance / rearrange the numbers in a matrix so the colums total the same or approximately the same?
I have the professional developer sutie but am not familuar with the matrix VIs so some guidance would be appreciated.
Project goal:

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Itunes download 3.1.2 - frozen during download & need help

I'm trying to download 3.1.2 on my Itunes, but it seems to have frozen and "locked", telling me I still have 3 hours left to install. I don't have a ton of stuff on my computer that would cause it to be so slow, so I don't know how to fix the situation. Help. Anyone have any advice or know how to fix this? Thanx

There has been a long-standing issue with the way iTunes handles Podcasts when there are multiple episodes available.
When your iTunes Library checks for new episodes of subscribed Podcasts, it will download only the latest one. This is fine if there is only one episode since iTunes last checked. But if there are two or more, then iTunes still only downloads the latest one, and ignores the previous episodes. Apple's apparent attempt to resolve this issue is to show the other episodes, but with the download cloud icon next to them. All well-and-good, but it's not obvious that this is what is happening, particularly when the Unplayed Episode Count includes those non-downloaded episodes.
What compounds this issue is that the in-the-cloud episodes are listed in the Podcasts Library, which up until that change, only included media actually in your Library.

My question is: What else do I have to set so that the podcast episodes I have subscribed to are automatically downloaded?
Submit a product Enhancement Request as feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html, although I suggest you don't get your hopes up. I submitted one a long time ago, but all Apple has done is introduce the "cloud" episodes, which has not solved the problem.

I have subscribed to almost 100 podcasts and I should not have to go to each one in Library | My Podcasts and manually select the newest episodes. Am I not following the directions? Is there another step I have missed?
Please tell me how to have my subscribed podcasts download automatically.
The only thing you can do is set your iTunes to check for new episodes frequently enough to catch all the new ones.
However, even this may not be enough. There is a BBC programme that releases up to three new episodes every day, all within one hour. So even once and hour will not catch all three of these.

After upgrade, no Comments in Coast to Coast AM podcast download?

I upgraded to iTunes 8.1.052 this weekend and now the podcasts for Coast to Coast AM that I download every day don't have anything in the Comments field. Is anyone else having trouble with this? It's an automatic download so I haven't changed anything else except for doing the upgrade. Kinda of a problems since it's the only way I know what the show's about.
Thanks for any help.

Hello DonaldGuy,
It sounds like you have some podcast subscriptions that are constantly trying to download but they are not in the iTunes Store anymore prompting an error message. You can use the edit button in the susbcriptions list to delete the subscribed podcasts in question, to prevent the error messages from happening:
Podcasts at a glance

Then I would backup to iCloud to update the most current iCloud backup to reflect this:
Back up to iCloud
If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your data if you've chosen this option. You can verify your iCloud backup and make sure that it's up to date by following these steps:
Tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Turn on iCloud Backup if it's off.
Tap Back Up Now.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Podcast downloads as MPEG, but stored as AAC?

Hi there,
I have encountered a strange issue when downloading certain podcasts from iTunes. The Podcasts in question are available for free on iTunes Podcasts and are available from 'MINUS Connections'. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my iTunes setup, a bug in iTunes, or the way in which the Podcast has been encoded. Nevertheless, here is the issue -
I download a Podcast from Minus Connections i.e. Minus Connection June '09 - Hearthrob
The Podcast shows as being of MPEG format while it is downloading
Once the Podcast has downloaded, it now displays as AAC format.
The Podcast plays in iTunes OK. However, in my own iPhone app, which reads an audio file and converts it to Linear PCM, it fails to read \ convert it.
My suspicion is that the file cant be read, because I am attempting to read it as AAC, when in fact it is actually an MPEG file?
So for some reason, at some point, the file kind has changed from MPEG to AAC, which is incorrent i think?
Interestingly, if I right click on the file in iTunes, and select 'Create AAC Version', it allows me to create an AAC version, which can be played OK on my iPhone app. I dont think the actual audio file format cant be read, I think it cant be read because the format type changes to the wrong type.
Has anyone encountered anything similar?
Many thanks,
David

MPEG-4 (.m4a) is AAC. There's nothing odd in iTunes or QuickTime player about the file for the most recent episode. I don't have an iPhone so I can't say what the problem is: a similar problem was traced to the embedded image being too large for the iPhone, but it's 600x600 here and it doesn't look as if the Chapter image is any larger, so that presumably isn't the problem - however using the 'convert to AAC' option removed the Chapter image (the playlist) though not the embedded image, so that may be the issue. You could ask in the iPhone Forum.

ITunes 11 Podcasts downloading problem

I subscribe severall podcasts. There's one of them, I don't know why, at the office downloads very slowly. To get it to download quickly, I am always pausing and resming the download.
In iTunes 11 when I pause when resuming the status bar comes a little bit back (eg. when pause there's 660 kb's downloaded, when resuming it goes to 500 Kb's)!
The other strange thing is that it dowloads more than the size of the podcast file!
When listening This, it is always coming back and forward.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Please try to pause and resume a podcast download an see what happens.
Thanks,
Jorge

Similar problem with iTunes 11.0.1.12 on win7. The crash seems to occur during the "file processing" part of downloading. I've tried removing the download file from the iTunes folder - it doesn't help. Really frustrating problem. It doesn't generate any error message beyond itunes need to stop and searching for a solution (the "solution" to update iTunes is the PROBLEM - not a solution).
I've installed VLC to play the files but it isn't iTunes and it won't sync with my ipod so... Apple people - - can't you do some simple software??? Do you really have to head towards bankruptcy again????
Geesh the Google maps flap was bad enough!

Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?

hi gary
have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
hope this may help madforit

Dear Michael,
In response to your questions, please see below;

Any error messages? No
Did you have previous versions of the software on your system? No
Is the trouble with the download or the installation of the software? I am not sure but i think it may be the download. It shows that the download was complete and icon appears on the desktop. I plan to buy the ''Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium'' but i wanted to try it first via the free trials, especially Photoshop and Illustrator. So please let me know what i need to do.

Podcasts download but do not show in "Podcasts" on iPod

My podcasts download properly into iTunes but I can't find them on my iPod. I thought I found the solution by manually copying them to the Podcasts folder, but that no longer works. This always used to work automatically but lately does not (new version of iTunes problem?).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, as I said ive spent hours looking for answer and I think I might have it. My issue is a video podcast not syncing. I find now that some do sync and others dont. I find the problem lies with videos not being compatible with my 80g classic ipod. I used to get warnings, now I dont probably because I clicked the 'dont show this warning again' button or due to a software upgrade is just didnt show up one day. Anyway if you go to page 16 of this discussion down the bottom in a thread started by 'lynnhopes' the answer there is all about resetting warnings. I re-set my warnings and it showed me a warning saying the podcast i was trying to download is not compatible with my ipod. Question is - is there anything on settings which CAN make it compatible???
