Clicking links in video podcasts no longer works

Until recently I have been able to click links in video podcasts and they opened the link in my default browser, Safari, 3.x. Starting about 2 - 4 days ago this same mouse action would only start and stop the podcast.

The videos play in iTunes without trouble... Shouldn't that indicate that they should play on the iPod?
Also, I know that the podcast format has not changed - I am actually the one that produces the podcast. I subscribe to be sure they are posting correctly.
A sample is:

http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/weather.xml
http://www.abc3340.com/static/podcasts/sports.xml
Yes, it's sad that I produce/post the podcast and don't know any more about it than this, but at this point, I'm trying to determine if something is wrong with the way they are being done (which has not changed at all) or something goofy is going on with iTunes and/or my iPod.

Video Podcasts No Longer Work on my 2nd (3rd?) Gen. iPod Touch!

Okay, I'm not really sure if I actually have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. It's a 8 GB, and I bought it in November of 2009 or so. I'm guessing it's a 2nd generation since it stopped updating after iOS 4.2.1. Now with that out of the way, onto the real question....
There was a new iTunes version a few days ago, so I went ahead and updated that. Ever since, I have had difficulties with any new VIDEO podcasts that I download. I cannot sync them onto my iPod at all. Audio podcasts work just fine, but video podcasts do not. I have literally tried everything - restoring my iPod, deleting and re-downloading the podcasts, and even re-installed iTunes completely. I figure that it might have something to do with the file type of the videos, but I would've gotten an error message if that had been the case. I am extremely puzzled. Please advise.

No one?

I have forgotten my security questions and the email linked to these is no longer working. How can I change my security questions?

Right-click Flash selection of webcams no longer works. Bug?

After some tense struggles and several failed webcam swaps, our support team discoverd that using right-click to select a webcam no longer works after our hosted service's recent upgrade. Is this necessary, or a bug?

Yes, the menu driven webcam selection process works fine. It's just the old way to select webcam source that no longer works. The worst part is there's no indication that the selection process that has always worked no longer works. Hence my technican swapping webcams, assuming they aren't working.

Linking to Podcast No Longer Works

Hi,
I have a link to my podcast embedded on a webpage as:
http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=214320347
The link used to work, but now gives me a file download dialogue instead of taking me to the podcast in iTunes as it used to.
Any help on how to get the desired behavior back operational would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris

If you want a link that goes to your podcast's page in the store, use this link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=214320347.
If you want people to be able to direct subscribe (without visiting the iTunes Store), you can use either itpc://YOURFEEDURL (you use itpc:// in place of http://) or https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/itmsRedirect?url=itpc://FEE DURL (again where FEEDURL is replaced by everything that follows http:// in your feed address). The second address redirects people to a page where they can download iTunes if they happened to click on your link and don't have iTunes installed.

Command click to open link in new tab no longer works in google scholar

Well the question basically says it all. Starting a couple of weeks ago, i have not been able to command click links to open in new tabs (I am on a mac, OS X 10.6.8). This includes links to google books as well as library links. This only happens on google scholar. It also happens in 'safe mode'. I have contacted google support who have stated that this is a browser issue. They have not changed the coding of the scholar site. This is very frustrating. I have used FF for years and am now going to have switch to Safari, whose own command click function continues to work in google scholar. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

Yes this issue is definitely related to Firefox. As I stated at the outset, the command click works fine in safari (although I prefer not to use it due to its restriction of automatically opening enw files in EndNote).
I was curious as to whether the issue was triggered by new coding on the part of Google scholar. Doesn't seem that way. Although I am still curious whether some of the style coding of the scholar page is creating issues... Given that command clicking works on every other page including regular Google searches...
The point though, was to generate some leads as to where this problem may best be addressed and what is the best language with which to do so...
Any advice on how to actually get these questions to Firefox support? That is how I wound up here in the first place!

Video Podcasts No Longer Transfer to iPod - Work OK in iTunes

I am subscribed to a couple of different video podcasts - recently when I sync, I get the message that they are not copied to the iPod because the iPod can't play them. Same iPod, same podcasts as before.. The podcasts do play correctly in iTunes, they just won't sync....
Any ideas?
I have done a restore on the iPod, and that made no difference.

Video Podcast no longer plays audio

Within the last week, (Possibly the last update), I can no longer get audio to work on Video Podcasts. No audio in iTunes or on iPhone for Video Podcasts. However, Audio Podcasts play just fine and no other issues with Movies, etc.

Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

After update to itunes 9 video podcast don't work

Hello together,
after updating itunes to vers. 9 my saved video podcast with dhe filetypesMPEG-4 Movie don't run. Also in Quicktime in the filefolder the files cannot be found as a video file. Quicktime itselve says, that it cannot read this filetype. Also after bying the mpeg2 extension , support told me that it have to be reinstalled, the videos don't work. who knows the solution for that?.
Thanks for a feedback

Quicktime itselve says, that it cannot read this filetype.
Hmmm. Launch your QuickTime Player. Now go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime preferences." Click the file types tab.
Expand "MPEG - MPEG System, video and audio files".
Are "MPEG Media" and "MPEG-4 Media" both currently checked? If not, check them and click okay. Does QuickTime now play the file?

Double-click running of video files has stopped working in Snow Leopard

Just updated to Snow Leopard and now I can't run QuickTime via a double click on a video file in an iPhoto 08 event. If I use Show File to bring up the Finder, then I can run with QuickTime X. Who wants to do that every time??
Anyone know the answer?
Regards
Simon

It's a bug introduced with SL. Send a report of the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

The swipe to delete a podcast no longer works

When i sipe left to right to delete a podcast on ipad 2, it no longer works. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Try quitting the Music app, restart the iPad and the see if you can swipe to delete the podcast (assuming that this is an audio podcast).
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to the Music app and try again.
In the videos app - tap and hold down on the icon and the X to delete will pop up - or tap the edit button and the X will pop up.

Why will video podcasts no longer sync to my ipod?

I used to be able to watch video podcasts on my iPod nano (5th generation). Then, one day it stopped syncing them to the iPod. I think an error message came up saying that my iPod didn't support the videos anymore (something about HD). I assumed that the video podcast had switched to a higher definition podcast, but the video quality appears to be the same when I play them on my computer. What's more confusing is that when I check which podcasts are being synced, the video podcasts still say they are being added to the device, but they never show up. Furthermore, I try draging the file manually to the iPod, but nothing happens (not even an error message saying I can't copy that file to the device).

I think so. I'm pretty sure I've updated 2 versions of iTunes since it stopped working. I don't remember if one of those updates was right when it stopped working or not.

Old and new video podcasts no longer sync and play

Since updating Itunes and software on my Ipod classic, the ipod no longer plays video podcasts. I know there was a problem with newer podcasts in HD and so on, but even the old format doesn't play.
can anyone help?

In your subject heading you say the Podcasts do not sync. Are you saying they don't play +because they have not synced?+
If so, when you plug your iPod into your computer, check the settings on the Podcasts pane/tab. Are they still set the way you want them? Software upgrades have been know to cause these settings to be changed.

Links in Mac Mail no longer work

I'm using Mac Mail 3.6, and I cannot get my added links to open the web site in Safari?
I go to link under Edit- then click on add, type in the url, and then it creates a blue link in the email message. But when I click it- it won't open?
Am I missing something?

I cannot figure out why either, but this seemed to start two days ago. No updates that I know of, except one for Mac for Office (which obviously should not affect anything else). None of the links in my incoming email are working. Caused a work problem this morning when I could not access an online conference I needed to attend. Could not open the link in their email to get in!
Also, I have had intermittent "sending" issues where my messages seem to "hang" and give me an error message about the server.
I have used Mac Mail for years, same network, etc. and have never had any issues...now two issues seem to have cropped up at once! I'll try the restart again, as suggested. Does Apple know about this?
