Another weary repeat of the same old harangue

Well, around Christmas break, Apple never bothered updating my podcast, 'Mister Ron's Basement' (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=73329795) for eleven days (and a number of other podcasters' programs as well), then everything was fixed and the Basement was updated every single day for a little while.
Yes, subscribers get them no problem, but my podcast has always relied on casual browsers (which is probably why it has apparently never been featured on iTunes).
Anyway, the latest episode to show up on the iTunes menu is number 599. We are now on episode number 603 (yes, that is Six Hundred and Three episodes).
I suppose I ought to be grateful for the little crumbs of updating I get, but one would think that by this time, iTunes would be capable of handling a daily feed.
Sorry I'm so grumpy about this but I put a lot of time, money, research and effort into putting together what I believe is a significant and relatively professional quality podcast, and sometimes I feel like maybe I've been wasting my time, and ought to do some low level program with a lot of explicit jokes and double entendres to get noticed.

Well, apparently everything has been updating (more or less) regularly since Macworld ended
I'm on episode #612, iTunes is on Episode #611. pretty close.
Sometimes it updates daily, then it goes for days without updates. Yep, I ping every time.
According to my host, slapcast.com, I'm averaging a couple of thousand downloads a day. It sounds like a lot, but that's spread out over 600 episodes. Newer ones get more, but older ones get plenty as well. If you hit the "subscribe" button and walk away, your drive can get filled with hundreds of episodes unless you stop it
Of course, in the old days, when people were using iPodder X, Mister Ron's Basement came pre-loaded on it and I was getting over ten thousand downloads a day....
Oddly enough, many of my downloads are linking in from qq.com in China. I can't find the actual link, because I don't read Chinese, but I understand that there are millions of users on qq.com any time of day.
Maybe they're using Mister Ron's Basement of rlearning English.

    = is the Extigy compatable with Windows 7?
    I have a little experiance with windows 7 now, and I have used the XP mode a few times.
    If it does work, would you need to be in XP mode, or would it work straight from 7?
    I only ask this because XP mode takes up a bit of processor power that would be better used for gaming/porn.
    Many thanks

  • Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

    Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

    No.  Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back.  There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition.  My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume).  Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac.  Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform.  Now you have two computers on Windows platform.  Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine.  Hope this helps.  Backup all your data before such operation.  Good luck.

    OK ..... Did you sign into your new ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new ID.

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

    Is the same true for using the App Store with a desktop machine? Someone installed a program on my machine (the IT department) and I would like to install the updates but it was installed under a different Apple ID. This anyone know how to change, or work around this particular issue?
    Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

    How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

    Hi,
    Let me make sure u r working with table control.
    First u have to create a event(VALIDATE) to do the validation.
    Inside the event,
    1. First get the current index where user has pointed the curson
    2. Once u get the index read the internal table with index value.
    3. Now u can compare the col1 and col2 values and populate the error message.
    1. DATA : lo_elt TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
                   l_index type i.
    lo_elt = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
         CALL METHOD LO_ELT->GET_INDEX( RECEIVING  MY_INDEX = l_index.
    above code should be written inside the event.
    Thanks,

  • When I save an e-mail as a file, it opens (seems stuck) to the same old one saved earlier. How do I unstick it?

    I use a MAC desktop and Thunderbird with latest update. Recently, when I've tried to open an e-mail that I saved earlier as a file with the .eml suffix, what opens is always the same unrelated e-mail that I saved earlier to an unrelated file. It seems stuck on that same unrelated e-mail, no matter what the file or what e-mail I intended to save. For example, I save (i.e., drop-down menu: Save As - File) an e-mail that I received regarding Topic A; then I go to the folder or file to which I saved it and locate the e-mail under the correct name in which I saved it; I double click and then click on Open; what always opens is an e-mail of a few months ago that I received from Bernie. It doesn't happen on my MAC Air laptop.

    Until recently, I've been able to save e-mails to files and folders by clicking "Save As" on the dropdown File menu. In the last few weeks, whenever I open any one of the many e-mails that I've saved over time as files, it doesn't open the e-mail that I'm trying to open. Instead, what opens up is always the same old email of a couple of months ago that has no relationship to the one I'm trying to open. Somehow, it's stuck on that same old e-mail. So, yes, your response is technically correct: (a) I open the message, and (b) I see what's in there. But what I always see is the same old unrelated e-mail message. My question is how do I get past that e-mail that it's stuck on to the e-mail that I saved but won't open up? Sorry to be such a pest.

  • How to Link another JSP Page in the same portal component

    Hi Guys,
      I am a new guy to SAP, currently, I want to add href link to another JSP in the same component, so I used <a href="<%=webpath%>/jsp/AboutPage.jsp">, but obviously, the link can not display target page due to privilege restriction, does anyone know how to resolve this problem? thanks very much!
      Best Regards
      James

    Thanks srinivas,
       Sorry for late response, too busy yesterday.
       Currently, I want to create a URL link in the page which links another JSP page in the same portal component, but the problem is this JSP page is under PORTAL-INF folder, so due to privilege problem, I can not create the link like the following:
    <a href="jsp/test.jsp">Link</a>
       I konw if I move test.jsp out of folder PORTAL-INF, the above way should work, but then, I found the JSP page can not access componentRequest and get resource bundle object.
      Am I clear, please let me know, thanks!
    Regards.
