Can iTunes grab password protected podcasts?

I have a subscription to an audio stream from a radio station here in Dallas. It's a subscription based thing where you can get the show with no commertials, and the profits go to charity. I have been using Doppler Radio to pull it in up till I got the new iPod (I had a creative Nomad till now). Since I can get iTunes to sync automagically when i get home every night, that would be the best thing to use...
I can't see any way to put my user name and password for the site into iTunes. Am I missing something, or is there no way to get subscription based podcasts?
This is in Windows, by the way. Oh, and if you're wondering, the radio show is a talk show hosted by Russ Martin on KLLI Dallas. They stream it live, too, for free, in case anyone is interested!

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.

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?

Problem accessing password protected podcast

Hello,
I'm having trouble accessing a password protected podcast. I'm not asked for my username or password. The download fails silently. When I click on the exclamation point in the left columb I see the following message:
There was a problem downloading "http://rss.somepodcast.net/podcast/podcast.xml".
Authorization is needed to access "http://rss.somepodcast.net:8080/podcast/podcast.xml".
[OK]
I'm using iTunes 7.0.2 on MacOS 10.3.9. Has anyone experienced similar problems? I discovered that I could access the podcast if I hand edit a copy of the feed and insert my username:password into each link.

Can't access Password Protection Manager on my External Hard Drive to unlock it

I can't access password protection manager on my External Hard Drive to unlock it , I got updated antivirus and I always use safely remove to remove the hard drive. I see the UNLOCK APP Drive, and the Public Area, but when I run the "Password Protection Manager.exe" file at UNLOCK APP Drive, the bar will just be fulfilled by approximately 60% by showing "Loading...", then it stops for many seconds, and it starts to run the Installation file (PasswordProtectionManagerSetup_F.exe) which will delete all unlocked files if I accept it to install.

Can iMessages be password protected

Can iMessage be password protected without locking the device?

It would be helpful if we could lock apps, like texting photos and mail, if we share our devices.
IMO they should consider it because.it makes you not want to share, and Apple loses an opportunity to sell their products to new customers. I've ' sold' 6 iPads to people who used mine and had to get one for themselves.
It's called good marketing skills.

Can email be password protected on an Ipad 2?

Not independently of the whole iPad - which can have a passcode added to protect everything.
Alternatively, access your email through webmail in Safari then you can log-out when finished.

Thank you,

HDP,
There is a Mac 101 tutorial that may help. Try this page first, then scroll down to where it says "About User Accounts". A bit below that is "Creating User Accounts". It may or may not be useful for you, as I think the tutorials are based on Tiger, and your specs show you on Panther. But take a look, since it might be close enough to help you figure it out on your Mac.

Can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

can you print password protected pdfs from an ipad?

This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

Can you restrict or password protect podcasts?

I would like to do a podcast but would like to be able to restrict or password protect it. Is this possible? if not are there any other options?
Thxs.

Yes if you have a program that allows you to set a password on the PDF file or you ZIP it with a password set on it. For that you wouild also need a ZIPping program that allows you to set a password. Adobe Acrobat does, not sure about Acrobat reader. And there may be other PD creator programs that allow a password to be set.
But with a password set, either on the PDF or a ZIP file, the person you are sending it to would need to know the password to even open it for viewing. Maybe you are looking to Lock the PDF from being edited?

Can't open password protected PDF files.

As per the thread title, I can't seem to open password protected PDF files via the Mail app.
I've read that you can open them if they're synced and opened via iBook, however, this is not an option for me.
I get sent several password protected PDF for work per week and would like to be able to read them directly from the Mail app just like a regular PDF file.
Does Apple know of this issue and will they implement a fix in the near future?

How Can I Remove Password Protection From my PDF File?

Hello,
I have a PDF file that is protected by a password. I tried almost all free online tools to unlock the password but they don't work. I know the password but online tools are showing the error: The uploaded file does not seem to be a valid PDF file.
Please let me know if there is any online tool or any software that can remove the password so I can share the file with others
Thanks
Steven

I know the password but online tools are showing the error: The uploaded file does not seem to be a valid PDF file.
Perhaps the file is not a .pdf file after all.
Anyway, .pdf files are generated by Adobe Acrobat, not by Windows. Checking the FAQs at the Adobe site is probably the best way to solve your problem. I would also run this test: Create my own .pdf file, apply a password, then remove the password.

Acrobat 8.1 and C# - How can you detect password protected PDF files?

I am modifying our existing C# code that opens PDF files. But when ever we hit a password protected file, we are prompted for a password. This is an automated process, so if we detect a password protected file, we move the file to a manual processing folder to be processed later.
We are using Acrobat 8.1 Standard.
Our code looks like this:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Text;
using
Acrobat;
using
System.IO;
using
Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using
System.Reflection;
     AcroApp app = new AcroApp();     app.Hide();
     try
          if (app != null)          {
               app.CloseAllDocs();
               AcroAVDoc av = new AcroAVDoc();
               if (av.Open(filename, "Test") == true)               {
                    AcroPDDoc doc = new AcroPDDoc();                    doc = (
AcroPDDoc)av.GetPDDoc();
                    doc.Save((
short)Acrobat.PDSaveFlags.PDSaveFull,
                    Utilities.GeneratePath(FileVersion.TEMP) + fi.Name.RemoveFileExtension() + ".PDF");                    doc.Close();
     catch (Exception ex)     {
          ErrorLog.LogError(filename.RemoveFileExtension(), ex);     }
     finally
          app.CloseAllDocs();
          app.Exit();
This works great for non-password protected PDF files, but it prompts for a password if the file is password protected. I was looking at the FileOpenEX functionality, but I can not find the reference to bring into my C# project. It looks like it is only for C++, since I could only find C++ examples.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

There are no methods in the Acrobat SDK for C# for what you wish to accomplish.

Acrobat XI Pro for OSX can't open password-protected pdfs created using Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows

I am having problems opening password-protected files created on a PC using Acrobat 9 Pro. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4 with Acrobat XI Pro. When I attempt to enter the password when prompted, a dialogue box pops up saying that I've entered the incorrect password. After many attempts, I am certain that the password entered is correct -- this is reinforced by the fact that i am able to open the same document using Mac's Preview software.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

I was suddenly having the same problem in Acrobat XI Pro for Windows (recently upgraded to CC from Acrobat X). For the past while I've sometimes had to use the "insert from file" tool to get a page added from another file. I couldn't figure out why dragging sometimes would no longer work, but was too busy to go looking for a solution until tonight.
The solution was given by JoshTatum24 above. Switch from a scrolling page display to single page display. Now I can drag pages between documents again. THANK YOU Josh!
Oh, and CORREAdmin, it does not matter whether the hand or arrow selection tool is active, my mouse pointer is always an arrow when positioned in the page thumbnails panel. Switching selection tools does not make a difference in dragging, but switching between scrolling and single page display definitely DOES make the difference.
