A word of thanks to the iTMS podcasting team

I'd like to express my appreciation, admiration, and make an apology.
First appreciation: Those of you responsible for putting the podcasting feature in the iTMS deserve a BIG thank you! As a producer of podcasts, we have received thankful feedback from all over the world! People traveling, residents of other countries, even people aboard ship have written to express their appreciation. And as an end user, I myself have been delighted to find some very helpful podcasts.
Admiration: It takes guts to open the iTMS to the world! In doing so, you have allowed wonderful podcasts to easily find their way to people. And since it's open to all, you wade through the garbage and low end as well. For your courage, you have my admiration.
And an apology: Now that I see the content of some podcasts, I regret that I helped. My admiration for what you have to go through rises.
Thank you for your work to make it possible. May you have grace and wisdom as you deal with the bad along with the good.
TiBook 400, 1GB RAM / Dual 1.8 G5, 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Just goes to show why this is one of the BEST software forums around.
Not only are there many knowledgable "civilians" on here, willing to help with their expertise, but we also have many of the Oracle developers on here as well who are more than willing to help us with our problems.

Big Thanks to the CCA Dev Team

Hi Cisco Team,
I wish to give my heart felt thanks to the CCA dev team for the latest version (3.2.1), out of the many CCA's I have used over the years this has to be the best revision thus far.
In short I had to do a complete overhaul of a UC-520 last night from its original configuration which was done using "CCC" which was part of an Early Fields Trial test, the system was in a very aged state and in desperate need of the overhaul. CCA managed to upgrade both the CME and CUE with no troubles, which for me has been the first time this has been achievable, in fact when you press the "F2" command to review what's taking place, I noticed that its error handling is significantly improved over previous versions.
I cannot imagine the time and effort that was put into bringing this version to market, but it certainly has improved the ability to rebuild a system from scratch without major drama, what was more impressive is that it allowed an upgrade of the CUE from version 3.2 to 8.1.6.3 without incremental upgrade procedures which I have had to do multiple times in the past... This alone is worthy of praise
The only trouble I had was with the 7941/7961 phones, many of them would not upgrade due to their firmware version, all the 7965/7970 phones upgraded happily even though their firmwars were pretty much original manufacturers... I do however have two phones that are in a semi bricked state now due to this firmware issue, and am not sure how I am going to recover them from this state, but I do know they require a firmware upgrade to recover them.
So any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
David Trad.

Hello David,
Please goto the downloads section of the respective phone and grab the lowest most probably for
7970 - SCCP software Release 6.0(3)_SR1 cmterm-7970_7971-sccp-6-0-3SR1.ZIPfile.
For 7965 SCCP software Release 8.3(2) - cmterm-7945_7965-sccp.8-3-2.zip.
For the 7941/7961 SCCP Release 7.0(2) - cmterm-7941_7961-sccp.7-0-2.zip.
If 7941/61 are 7941/61G-GE - Release 8.2(2)_SR4 - cmterm-7941_7961-sccp.8-2-2SR4.zip
When you get the files if you wish to use the CCA, just delete the phone loads from maitenance->phone load management. Then drag and drop the zip files on the UC to add the new phone load. After successfull upgrade to the uppper metioned version of the phones which could not be updated prevoiusly just remove these fimwares and add the shipped with software pack versions of the latest ones.
HTH,
Alex

Why repeat the question in the description area? That provides no more information than just leaving the description area blank.
Yes you can edit documents in Pages. What can you not figure out that you want to do? Have you transfered a document to the iPad and opened it in Pages and tried to edit it?

Why's my podcast been removed from the iTMS?

I've set up a college podcast, called edPod, and we've so far recorded only a preview episode. Being the eager beaver I am, I submitted my feed to the iTunes Music Store.
Within a few hours, I had received an email from '[email protected]', saying the following:
"This is to inform you that your podcast has been removed from the iTunes Music Store because of a technical problem with your feed.
If your problem can be resolved, you can fix it in your RSS feed, and then re-publish your podcast to the Music Store."
That would be fine... if I knew what was wrong with my feed! I've looked at the apple podcast feed guidelines (http://phobos.apple.com/static/iTunesRSS.html) - and I can't see anything 'abusive' about my feed compared to their example.
Maybe you've been through the same experience, and could lend a hand? My podcast feed is http://www.kedst.ac.uk/edpod/edpod.xml
I'm totally at a loss as to what's wrong with my feed. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
MadMacZed

Aha, that's helpful MacMuse!
However, I'm not too sure about why my feed is utf-8 while the server is ASCII. The college is in charge of the server, I just upload files to it! :P
I can see that the second line contains a "DTDs" rather than "dtds"... but since I use the application "Podcast Maker" to construct my rss feed - if I change the xml file on the server, will PodcastMaker overwrite it with the wrong information again the next time I update my feed? I suppose I will have to try it and find out! Also, Apple's own example has a capital DTDs... so surely that can't be the reason my podcast has been rejected?
Thanks again! I'll be back to tell you if it has worked or not!

How to export a PDF to a word document? at the moment it came up with "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing ????? what can I do? thanks

Hi frenchiem,
This is due to the PDF file cannot display the original fonts. To fix it, creator should create the PDF file with the embed font option enabled. Thus, user can open the file on any platform with the same layout. Or the Acrobat product can display them after you install the appropriate font support package on the client side.

Why does search in the iTunes Store on the Mac produce different results than in the new Podcaster app?

If I search in the iTunes Store (in iTunes) on my Mac for this word:
msworld
I get two Podcasts I can subscribe to.
If I do the same search in the new Podcaster IOS app, I get no matching items as a result.
Does anyone know why or how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Alan

Problem solved.
It's the new Apple IOS Podcasts app, just released June 26, 2012.
It works fine, and search above works.
Thanks,

ITMS podcast categories - down

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I go to ITMS - Podcasts, and when I want to access a particular category, say, "Travel" or "International" - I am taken to the various categories found in the Music section instead. If I type in the podcast category in the search field , it seems to work fine, but clicking on the categories on the lefthand menu is presently disabled - at least for me.
Anybody else find this?
Thanks in advance.
~john

That will be because the Podcast's producer have not completed the Category field when he/she wrote the tags for the epsiode. They have to complete that field for each epsiode, not just the for the page in the Store.
The majority of the Podcasts I download do not show a category and when they do, it's usuallly complete rubbish! I have Podcasts with some episodes showing a category, but other episodes (from the same series) do not. I also have a Podcast which states "Visual Arts" in the Header (title) category but every episode displays (my favourite!) "Podcast" as the category!
In practice, the category is no use because of the way the Podcasters use and abuse it.

Hi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

The new podcast app is using up my data plan

The new "podcast app" is using up my data plan like crazy! Its costing me much much more money now to listen to my podcast. They want donations to keep them "free" but this is much much futher from free. What is going on! I want it to go back to the way it was. Please dont tell me about them being free on WIFI I know that. I dont live in the city so the only WIFI is never where I can get it when I use them. Even driving down the road , if I loose service the podcast stops and my bill is over the top! What can I do to make it stop!!!!!??? This is a very bad move.
Also what is the yellow "other" on my itunes sync thing that show how much of what is using up the space on my phone? I have taken almost everything off of the phone and almost half of the space is the yellow other. I can not wipe my phone and start over I have legal text messages I have to keep for court on my phone.
Im very unhappy with this move of Apples and others are unhappy with it too or havent caught on to it yet.
Please change it or let us know what to do to end this issue.
thank you
ami
PS, I will be contacting the the podcasts to let them know that the donations will now be going to pay for the NO LONGER FREE PODCASTS.

This has been really frustrating me too! I made sure the 'use data' was turned off in settings, and yet when I was listening to a podcast, it went from one that I had downloaded to one that I hadn't downloaded without stopping, so I used up a ton of data! It was because I was 'subscribed' to that podcast, which meant every darn episode ever was appearing in my list of podcasts - you can set it to download them automatically, but I don't want to download every single podcast for some, and there's no way to easily pick and choose like there used to be (with the 'get more podcasts' button). In the end, I've just unsubscribed from all my podcasts, and I'll go find them one by one - it's really annoying, but it seems like it's all (downloading every possible episode, which for some is a lot weekly) or downloading manually by going to the catalogue. I miss the old podcasts. Also, I don't think it's cooler that it's not merged with my other music anymore. Why was that necessary?

Why do words run together in the word doc I converted from PDF?

It happens not all the time, but randomly and frequently. Also, when I try to edit,I have to hit 'delete' before beginning a new sentence, or all of the inserted letters pile into one space! In other words, it's basically unusable. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
--Charlie

This most often occurs when Word can't handle the font that was brought over in the conversion process. Try selecting the text you'd like to edit as a part of a larger block (such as a whole paragraph or page) and change the font to something else. This often helps.

Bizarre solution for OfficeJet Pro K5300 problem when Word docs hang in the print queue spooling

A bizarre solution to a spooling problem.
Problem:
Word documents sent to an HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series printer hang in the print queue, saying “spooling”. They do not print, and cannot even be cancelled.
Solution (Bizarre Solution).
The solution that worked for me was to rename the printer by removing the first space after “HP” in the printer’s name. When I did this, Word could then print to the printer. If the space is then re-inserted back into the printer-name then Word is still able to print!! I don’t know how, but it worked, and it worked on two separate installations! The full explanation is below with more options for testing that still need to be explored, or preferably explained by HP and or Microsoft.
First here is some background. My computer is an IBM NetVista 2.4GHz, P4. It has a 250GB HDD with lots of room and 2GB of RAM. My operating system is Win XP Pro with Service Pack 3. My anti-Virus in Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, updated regularly, (I turned it off while installing the printer software). I use Office Professional 97, with Office SP2b).
I bought a new HP Officejet Pro K5300 printer.
I installed the printer software, and followed HP’s directions strictly. I used the installation CD that was supplied by HP. My connection to the printer was USB.
The installation proceeded uneventfully and I printed a test page after it finished.
After that I printed a configuration page, then I printed a couple of photographs using Irfan View. The quality was great and I was pleased.
Then I tried to print a 2-page Word document, using Word 97, but nothing happened. No response from the printer, no error messages, just silence. I clicked on the printer icon on the task bar to look at the print queue and saw that my document was listed as “Spooling”, but it was not making any progress. I waited a couple of minutes but still no progress. I tried canceling it but it would not cancel/delete. The job on the queue would not respond to anything. I could not print it and I could not cancel it. The only way I could recover was to shut down Word, which flushed the queue and lost the job.
I tried this a few more times but with no success.
I did a Google search for this problem, and I found a few solutions. I tried them, but none worked. I checked HP’s website and found this problem listed, with some solutions from HP. I tried HP’s solutions, but they did not work either. In fact, when there was a Word document stuck “spooling” in the queue, HP’s diagnostic utility said that it could not even communicate with the printer, and suggested that my USB connection was bad. However, when I flushed the queue by shutting down Word, I could successfully send a Test Page to the printer, and I could print a detailed PDF from Adobe. So Word was the problem, not my USB connection.
After a pondering this problem over the next few days, and keeping in mind the fact that the default HP printer-name was “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series”, I remembered that many years ago I could not get an Excel VB macro to select a printer, and print to it, if the printer-name had any spaces in it. I had noticed that the HP default printer name had 4 spaces in it, so I wondered what would happen if I renamed the printer by removing the spaces from its name.
So I renamed the printer to “HPOfficejetProK5300Series” (no spaces), and voila! Word could now print to it!
Then I wondered, if it was necessary to remove all of the spaces from the name, or just some of them, to get the printer to work, so I renamed the printer back to it’s default name in 4 stages, at each stage re-inserting one of the original spaces, and testing the printing. At each stage the printer kept successfully printing from Word, until I had re-inserted all four spaces and the printer’s name was back to being identical to the default name that it was installed with, but now it would print from Word on command.
So why was it that Word could not get the printer to print with the printer’s default installed name, but if I removed all of the spaces from the printer’s name, then re-inserted them, the printer would print from Word every time?
So I did another test.
I uninstalled the entire printer software package and installed the updated Full Feature software package, filename “OJProK5X00_Full_8_3.exe”, 159MB download from HP.
After the package was installed, Word could NOT print to the printer, but other programs like Adobe PDF reader, and Irfan View, could print to it. I tried each software package about three times each, with consistent results.
I then renamed the printer, but this time I just removed the first space after the letters “HP”, i.e., I changed the printer’s name from “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” to “HPOfficejet Pro K5300 Series”. After I did that Word could then print to it. I then changed the printer’s name back to “HP Officejet Pro K5300 Series” by re-inserting the first space, and Word could still print to it now.
I challenge someone from HP to read this and explain why Word won’t print to this printer until I rename the printer by removing a space, but can still print to it after the space is re-inserted!
Of course, there is another alternative. Perhaps I could have renamed the printer by removing or changing any of the other characters, instead of the spaces. But each test involves completely uninstalling and re-installing the software, and I have better things to do with my time.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

What an amazing solution!
I recently purchased an HP Deskjet F4580 and had discovered that when using Word 97, it would print OK when using the Print icon but when trying to print using File->Print->choose page number or current page, Word would crash. Excel, Adobe etc would all print fine. I have spend many hours removing and then reloading the HP software and Office Professional software but this solution fixed the problem in a few minutes. PC is running XP Home SP3.
Just one thing I would add is that my computer has two accounts - one is the Computer Administrator account and the other is a Limited account. When I took out the space between HP and Deskjet so the printer became HPDeskjet F4500 series, I could then print from the Administrator account using either the print icon or File->Print->choose page number or current page. When I switched to the Limited account, I would get the same crash when I tried File->Print->choose page number or current page (OK with icon). The Limited account mode does not allow the printer to be re-named.
I went back to Admin mode, re-classified the Limited account as a Computer Administrator account, logged on to this account and re-named the printer (in this case I took out another space so it became HPDeskjetF4500 series. Then it printed fine using the print icon or using File->Print->choose page number or current page. I then went back to the Computer Administrator account, re-named the printer to HPDeskjet F4500 and re-classified the second account back to Limited account mode. Now printing OK in both Computer Administrator account mode and Limited account mode.
Thanks again!

Pasting text from a word program while retaining the same italics formatting?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to be able to copy text from another program (Microsoft Word) and then, using the Text tool in Photoshop (CS6), paste that text, but where it retains the correct italics formatting I had in the other program--and not as an image of text (Ctrl+P), in which the formatting is present, as a flat image, but rather as an actual unrasterized and editable Text layer. For example, the sentence “I told you..” where 'told' is italics, simply pastes into Photoshop as "I told you.." without the original formatting. Is there a way to get Photoshop to recognize formatting from pastes without my having to manually re-apply the formatting myself? This would be a hassle over a long period of time. If necesary I would be willing to use a plug-in that allows for this sort of recognition.
Thanks!

InDesign does correctly accept Word's formatting with 2 important considerations.
In the InDesign preferences, Clipboard Handling needs to be set up to paste "All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc)
In Word you can't use formatting like faux Bold or faux Italic in place of using a font that has an actual Bold or Italic font style.
InDesign only allows for using fonts that have a Bold or Italic font style and no longer allows for faux styles like MS Word or older type layout applications like PageMaker or Quark (clicking a B or I button)
You can copy the Text Block in InDesign (the arrow tool - not the text tool) and paste this into Photoshop as a Vector Smart Object.
You can then use a layer style on this Vector Smart Object layer.
But all this really just a sideshow. If you are copying a small amount of text, it shouldn't take long to reformat in PS.
If you are doing a large amount of text or small amounts many, many times you should do as Willi Adelberger says and place the images in InDesign. You can place or paste text for MS Word in InDesign (and adjust or edit it if you want)
In InDesign you can color the text, apply special effects like drop shadows, embossing, etc.
Can you tell us the amount of text you deal with, how often you need to do this, and what (if anything) do you want to do to the text after you get it into PS?
I think everyone would agree with Willi's statement: "Personally I would avoid to make text objects in Photoshop if not specific raster-image effects or combinations are needed."

Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing

Using Adobe Export PDF, I converted a PDF document into MS Word. However, all the images are missing--replaced by black rectangles. How can I fix this? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Ravinder,
As I mentioned in my email to you, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior your described. The images appear properly.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
