Creating my first podcast

All I am trying to do is help my wife create a language lesson. Each section I have marked with a chapter marker. When I try to burn it to a cd I get a warning that the chapters are too close together and I need to put at least 7 seconds between each. Even after doing that I get the same warning. A friend said I need to put each section on a new track and record each of them seperately to itunes before burning. I appreciate all help.
thanks

Thanks for replying. This is really helpful... I'm glad to know what will be affected by my choice of image.
Kris
If you ever want to be featured in iTunes it is best
to make sure you have a good clean looking image that
is close to square and at least 300 x 300 in size.
While the exact size will not matter for getting your
podcast added to the directory - it will matter in
getting picked for a featured spot. Apple is not
going to feature a podcast whose artwork does not
look good. It will ruin the athetics of the podcast
page.
So I would suggest you take a little time and come up
with a nice 300 x 300 image.

I haven't received any email contact from Apple after submitting my first podcast. Have a missed something?

I've managed to create my first podcast and was informed from others that upon posting to the iTunes store, Apple would send an email confirming it has received the podcast and another about 24 hours later confirming it has been indexed and providing a link to make it live.
As of yet, I've received none, including checking my junk emails.
The podcast shows up when clicking File > Subscribe to a podcast and entering in the RSS feed url, yet when clicking on the podcast and selecting > Show in iTunes Store, it yields no results. As a result, you can't search for the podcast in the iTunes Store or provide a direct link to it.
I'm using Libsyn as the RSS host (http://processtheprocess.libsyn.com/rss) and Feedburner(http://feeds.feedburner.com/ProcessTheProcess).
The "Subscribe with iTunes" on the Feed Burner page works and provides a link to download the podcast, but I'd like for it to be searchable on iTunes before continuing.
Is there a logical explanation to this and have I missed an important step along the way?

When you submit a feed you should get an ackowledgment email. After that it can take a couple of weeks for your podcast to be accepted (24 days is wildly optimistic) at which point you should be sent another email giving you the Store page URL. The emails may possibly have gone missing in transit, but that wouldn't prevent your podcast eventually going live as you don't have to do anything further. However the ability to locate a podcast through Search usually takes a further period, making it more difficult to discover whether the podcast is up or not.
You could try emailing Support as podcasts 'at' apple.com and asking about this, but it's quite likely you won't get a specific reply.
One possible test is to try submitting the feed again. If it has been registered as submitted you will be told that it has already been submitted, which will at least tell you that it's in process.

Alternative to GarageBand for creating chapters in podcasts?

Now that GarageBand no longer has podcast-creation-specific features, I'm wondering if there's another way to create chapters in podcasts. Anyone know? I know I can just keep using the old version, but I'd like to find a solution that hasn't been discontinued.

Hi Photosphere,
Apologies for the delayed response, my daughter was born on Sunday.
Thanks for taking the time to try our product.
Could you please explain what podcasting features you feel are missing?
Some of the podcasting features that many thousands of our professional and amateur podcasting customers appreciate are:
* Create chapters (which is what this thread started with)
* Auto-leveling of recording based on Loudness
* User-friendly interface
* Voice Profiler that analyses your speak and sets the EQ and compression for you so you sound the best every time
* 1-click podcast allows you to upload your podcast to multiple destinantions (SoundCloud account, Podcast server, FTP etc) with one click in the correct format, amnd updates your RSS feed at the same time
* Extremely fast support response
You might find more of the features you are looking for in our Video Tutorials: http://hindenburgsystems.com/training-videos
Addressing your comments:
- Regarding pricing - unfortunately the podcasting and radio markets are not that big. Selling it for "a decent price and getting more customers" assumes that there are a lot of people that actually would buy software to make a podcast. Our analysis is that this is not the case - if we lower our price we will not sell significantly more copies of our software. $95 for a highly advanced software tool is not much compared to the price of a microphone or whatever recording device you use for your podcast, is it?
- "Your website is out of date, the registered trademark of your company site is 2011" - Normally a trademark date is the date a trademark is registered - it doesn't really change. I'm not quite sure what you are refering to.
- "I find it hilarious that you chose the company name to be Hindenburg Systems... Hindenburg crashed and burned" - A little radio history, the event of the Hindenburg crashing is one of the most important daes in radio/recorded story history. It was the first ever mobile news report and the first ever report broadcast coast-to-coast. Besides that, Hindenburg is a surname, so there are other connotations than the limited history of one event in Lakehurst in 1937.
I hope that clarifies things a bit?

My first podcast, now what?

I just recorded my first podcast! Now what?
How do I get it on iTunes? (I have an itunes connect account for ibooks...)
What file format does it have to be in? I'm recording into GarageBand on my macbook.
Thanks guys, this is my first one, really excited!

Hi Roger,
I am new to this and am in desperate need of some help.
I have created an audio file (it's an mp3) and its been loaded onto The Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/BBTheIsland001
The audio file for the podcast is: https://ia601701.us.archive.org/4/items/BBTheIsland001/B%26B%20The%20Island%2000 1.mp3
I then used Feedburner to set up an RSS on my Google Blogger page.
My blog is: www.bergsandbaldy.com
My feed burner feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/bergsandbaldy
When I attempt to test the feed in iTunes by simpling "subscribing to a podcast", iTunes see's the name but does not pull the audio or the image down....
I've literally tried and tried again over several hours but am very stuck.
Any words of wisdom and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Roger.

Creating a video podcast with iMovie?

Can I create a video podcast through iMovie? I was planning on recording audio and inserting photos to go along, then Share -> iPod. Will that work?
Thanks!

I would recommend Podcast Maker. I used it for my audio podcast; I've not done video podcasting but it does say that it handles .mov files.
Once you have your media files sorted, Podcast Maker will do the rest. You enter the server details, and the descriptions and so on, and the locations on your Mac of the media files; it will then in one go write the feed, and upload it and the files to your server. It writes good clean rss and you shouldn't have any problems. Obviously you will need to study their instructions first, but it's not too complicated.
(I don't have any association with this firm,)
If you want an associated web site you will need to construct it yourself, using links to the media files once they've been uploaded.
If you feel the temptation to get involved with FeedBurner or similar services I would advise resisting it: they work most of the time but if there is a problem (and I've seen a lot come up in this forum) it's almost impossible to sort it out. It's also pretty well impossible to move the feed to a different URL.

Is there a way to have a wiki on osx server where users can be created at first logon? (for a semi-public wiki)

Hello,
I am installing an osx server that will be primarly used as a wiki for collaboration.
Problem: there will be many users from various organisations -> creating users manually on the server is not an option.
Is there a way to have a page/something where users will login and the account will be created at first logon? (after being approved if possible).
I'd want my users to go to the wiki and do something like click a "new user" or "create account" button then fill a form. The account in th directory would be then auto magically created.
Does this feature already exist for osx server with the built-in wiki?

Just generate the TTS on a separate slide and then assign the audio file created in the LIbrary to whatever object you need.

Error while creating my first project on SP15 and why Help doesn't work?

Hello sdnrs,
I have a fresh SP15 installtion.
I have 2 problems creating my first webdynpro project.
1.When I go to file-new-project-webdynpro->(enter name)->next , I have windows poped up with the following error:
Plug in name: Web Dynpro Archive Builder
Plug in id: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder
class: com.sap.ide.webdynpro.archivebuilder.project.WebDynproStandaloneProjectWizard
Method: createJavaProject(IProject, IProgressMonitor)
Message: Problems encountered while setting project description.
Exeption: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered while setting project description.
I am frustrated cause I can't do any step futher...! Is there any special settings on the SDK, Window-Preferences, etc?
2.My Help doesn't work at all - it used to be (with SP11 slim) when i go - 'Help-SAP was docum-SAP webdynpro appl ' and I had my help window poped up.Now I dont have anything!
Thank you much in advance!
Bob

For your information there's another solution if you don't wanna reinstall your NDS or if the reinstallaion doesn't work.
The error is in the resources so you have to replace some plugin resources to correct the error. Because of that you need access to the resources from somewhere else.
1. Go to c:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Documents\SAP\workspace\.metadata\.plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources with a "working" resource
2. Go to C:\Program Files\SAP\JDT\eclipse\plugins and replace org.eclipse.core.resources.win32_2.1.0 and org.eclipse.core.resources_2.1.1 with a "working" resource.
Restart NDS and it ought to work
Best regards,
Ole Mose

How to create a Video Podcast?

Hi,
I have a question about how to create a Video Podcast.
What I like to do is record what I can see ON my screen. And I don't want to use a Video Cam to make Videos of it.
If anyone knows how to to that or if there is an application I could use it would be great.
What I am looking for more or less is an App like Audio HiJack Pro - well more like a Video HiJack Pro. The question is not about how to do the encoding once I have the Video.
Any ideas? Any would be great. Just tell me how its done and what I need to buy.
Thanks a lot
LaForge

LaForge,
I use Snapz Pro X by Ambrosia Software.
I've made some video podcasts of tutorials of iMovie for my work, and you can see them here: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=74837876
The video gets jerky when capturing the video within iMovie, but it may be because I only have 512 MB of RAM. But for just capturing stuff like opening folders and what not, it will do the trick.

Creating a private podcast

I would like to create a corporate podcast series for a sales division at my company that must be private for legal reasons.
Can I create a private podcast series that can only be accessed through a direct url and is not searchable in iTunes?
If so, can someone please refer me to a manual to learn how to set this up?
Thank you.

You cannot have a password-protected podcast in the iTunes Store. However there's nothing to stop you creating a podcast and placing the feed on your intranet, assuming everyone you want to see it has access to it. Alternatively you can place the feed on a web server on the internet with password protection, and give your people the URL for them to susbcribe manually in iTunes - I believe in this situation iTunes will handle the password, though this is something you will want to check. This way only people to whom you give the password can access it.
Of course you don't have to use iTunes - you could just create a web page with the podcast episodes, again either on a private network or password protected.
The actual process of creating a podcast and its associated feed is described here:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
though it doesn't address the issue of a private podcast.

Can I create a smart podcast playlist for my iPod?

I'm trying to find a way to create a smart podcast playlist that will work on my iPod. I'm able to do this in iTunes, but when I sync my iPod, the playlists don't transfer. Right now I've got two playlists in a new folder, and I can't even find the folder under my playlists tab in my iPod.
I've seen some pretty lengthy work-arounds that require you to create a separate playlist for each podcast, and then combining all of those playlists together into a new playlist. But it can't be that complicated, can it?

Thank, that took care of it. I guess I just assumed that I'd be able to organize podcasts in the folders under the Playlist tab. It's weird that it won't let us do that.

Created my first app in app studio but can't upload in dev center

Hello,
I created my first app in Windows App Studio.I generated a publish package containing a zip file that contains an appxupload file.
But when I try to upload it in the windows Phone dev center i can only upload XAP files??
What am i doing wrong? Sorry, i'm new to this....

I have all but given up on the android store, the mindset on there is to never pay for anything. "All apps should be free" is the general mentality of an android market user. At first I thought it was just the attitude of an android user but after having decent success on the Amazon App Store and great success on the NOOK store I just think its the market and the no review system, its hard to get noticed with all the junk apps floating around and all the users expecting everything to be free.
As a side question to the original poster or anyone to whom this may pertain, why do people make quality, ad free apps? I dont get it, whats in it for them other than good vibes from the users? I understand free ad powered apps, and free lite apps but I can never figure out why people will use their talents and time to make an app thats totally free and has no ads? Anyone?

OWB 11g rel2 Client install. Error when creating my first Workspace

We just installed Oracle 11g rel2 Std edition database on Oracle Linux. No problem connection with Toad. Everything works fine.
I have just installed OWB 11.2.0.1 client on Windows 7 and Windows 7 in XP mode. Having the same problem on both installations mentioned below.
No I am about to create my first Workspace in Repository Assistant where I get an error:
- Step 1, Database information
- Host xxx
- Port 1521
- Oracle Service Name: instance name (the one I use in Toad that works)
-SQL Net Connection: Checked  Seems that I have to use this when I connect with system user later on in the wizard.
- Step 2 Manage Warehouse Builder workspaces, checked
- Step 3 Create a new Warehouse Builder workspace
- Step 4 Create a workspace with a new user as workspace owner, checked
- Step 5 DBA Information: user system, Password: xxx
- Step 6 Enable Optional Features: Non selected
- Step 7 Workspace Owner(new)

- Password x 2
- Workspace Name: workspace_dev
- Step 8 OWBSYS Information:
- User Name: OWBSYS (OWBSYS and OWBSYS_AUDIT accounts are unlocked)
- Password: xxx
- Then I click next, and the error information are as follow:
“OWB software with the compatible version must be installed locally on the database server machine. If it is already installed, please acquire the DBA user credentials, an run the SQL script owb/UnifiedRepos/remote_owb_install.sql on the database server machine. This creates a database directory named ‘OWB_REMOTE_ADMIN’ that the remote installation will access to read the database servers OWBHOME/owb/bin/admin directory. Relaunch the Repository Assistant or execute OWB scripting command OMBSEED to seed the repository.
Since we have installed the Oracle 11g rel 2 database, the OWB are already in that installation. I also tried to run the remote_owb_install.sql and applied the OWBHOME/owb/bin/ when running sql. I still have the same problem.
Anyone experienced this and have a solution to solve this?

First podcast in iTunes store

Hi, I submitted my first podcast to the iTunes Music Store yesterday. I have the podcast on my .Mac homepage and submitted it through iWeb. I had two podcasts on the website, but only wanted to submit one episode, since they were on different topics, and were different files.
When I saw the podcast in the store, both of the podcast episodes were there. I went back and deleted the one that I didn't want published from the homepage. Now it seems to be working properly, but I'd like to know how to select which files actually get submitted, since I'd like to keep some podcasts just as examples on my homepage, while there are other episodes which I want to have available on iTunes.
One more question - yesterday, the iTunes listing had a link to my homepage, and today it does not. What's the reason for that? Does it have anything to do with me deleting one of the files?
Thanks for any help. As you can tell from my questions, I'm new to this.

It normally takes 12 to 36 hours for your new episode to show up on your iTunes store page. But as you already mentioned - it will be available to anyone that is already subscribed as soon as it is released.
So at this point there is nothing you can do and nothing that is wrong - you just need to wait 12 to 36 hours for it to show up on your iTunes store page.
