Creation of the rss xml feed url and the xml itself

Hello all.
I know this question has been answered before I think and I get most of the answer, BUT
I want to put my podcasts on the itunes lib and know that I have to submit the rss xml.
My issue is that I don't know where I put it physically.
I publish a web site thru iweb, no problem. If I add a blank page to the site and call the page "rss.xml", then add a text box to the page, then place the xml for the podcast in it. Will that work if i submit the entire URL to itunes?
I created the blank page and called the page rss.xml, then navigated to the page and in the address bar the last part of the URL was".html". That does not seem correct, but I am pretty much new to this so I am not sure.
Please help if you can.
Here is my website:
http://web.mac.com/davescida/iWeb/Early_riser/rss.xml.html
I just don't know what I am doing wrong and I don't think it should be this hard...
Thanks much
Dave

I'm quite new to the whole podcast thing and it took me a while to wrap my head around exactly what and RSS feed is, how it works and what you do with it. I'm still learning.
However, here's what I do now: the XML file is like its own web page. You can't create a blank HTML document and just name it RSS feed or whatever. You need to either hand code the file or use an RSS feed creator program. There are some shareware programs that do that, but I am having difficulty with them. Think of the XML file as the exact same thing as an HTML file (web page). So you need to place the file on your web site or web srever that is hosting your podcast. For example, my podcast audio file is located inside a folder on my web site called "podcast". The XML file (RSS feed file) is also located inside that folder. Therefore the web address is: http://www.mysite.com/podcast/mypodcast.xml
That is what gets submitted to podcast directories and to iTunes. If it is created correctly, that XML document will contain ALL of the information needed to tell everyone about your podcast (description, etc.) and where the audio file actualy is so it can be downloaded automatically by iTunes.
I hope this makes sense.

I'm moving my podcast and I don't know where to put the itunes:new-feed-url into the code. I'd love to just have somebody point to the right spot. Please advise.

Where does it go?

It doesn't go anywhere in that: that isn't a feed, it's a web page. A feed is a text file in XML format.
Would you like to post the URL of your iTunes Store page?
This page about podcasting includes a basic sample feed so you can see what one should look like, and at the bottom of the page is the method for redirecting iTunes to a new feed.

We had to change the feed adress and the epsiode adresses. Now all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded (although i have downloaded them already). How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?

Hello,
We had to change the feed adress (<itunes:new-feed-url>)and the epsiode adresses in the feed because the feed and the episode-files are on a new server. Now when i open my iTunes subscription of our podcast all the episodes of my podcast are downloaded again (although i have downloaded them already).
My Question therefore is: How can I make the changes in my feed and avoid that all the episodes are reloaded?
Maybe have an answer?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your answer
As I see now, our 'guid' tags contain the episode URLs
To avoid this problem in the future i would like to change guid tags. Can you please tell me how a guid tag should look like if it is not the URL?
Thank you for helping us!
ps now it looks like this eg:
<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.castyourart.com/podcasts/213_thinkglobal_en.mp4</guid>

Somtimes Firefox loads a blank page; the Tab says "New Tab" and the URL is always "about:blank". What's up with that?

Using Dogpile, I search and a list of URLs comes up. I select and click on one and Firefox opens a new tab. It responds promptly with a blank screen. The Tab says "New Tab" and the URL says "about:blank". The last one came up slowly in IE and turned out to be nothing more than a large pdf. Can you help me figure out what is happening and how to fix it, please? It is happening far too often. Running the virus, etc. software has not stopped this problem. Thank you very much for your help! Hutchy

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

VZW URL coming up on the VZT Sign-In Page and the Email "Keep Me Signed In" issue

Hello All,
Here are two messages as it pertains to the VZW URL coming up on the VZT Sign-In Page and the Email “Keep Me Signed In” issue:
I’m a VZT customer and want to sign-in to my VZT account. Why am I being sent to a My Verizon sign-in page with a VerizonWireless URL (website address)?
Thank you for raising this issue, and it is always good to ask when you see something unexpected in an online experience. We are in the process of making some security enhancements and other changes to our wireline My Verizon site. At least during the early stages of this important process you may notice a verizonwireless.com URL at the top of your browser screen – this is normal.
I’ve selected the “Keep Me Signed In” function on the My Verizon sign-in page. It used to work on the old “verizon.com” URL (website address) sign-in page, but it doesn’t work on the new “verizonwireless.com” URL sign-in page. Why?
We apologize for your inconvenience. We are in the process of making some security enhancements and other changes to our wireline My Verizon site. “Keep Me Signed In” is one of the items being changed and is unavailable for some of our customers. This is a temporary situation until the function can be removed entirely.
Thank you for your patience while we work on the changes and enhancements to our wireline My Verizon site.

I have this too it's driving me crazy!

Ie 11 fails with 'IE Security detected that the URL and the configuration link to not match

HI,
I Have a user that is using IE 11 and is getting the following error:
IE Security detected that the URL and the configuration link to not match. Please use the URL as configured. Is and IP based URL. On IE 10 we get a similar message, but as soon as we add it to our trusted site and switch to compatibility
mode the issue goes away.
For example http://10.10.10.180/xxx/iafwebsite_810/
What would be causing this issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Trish
Trish Leppa

Hi,
It seems that this URL doesn't meet security level. Thus, as long as you add this URL to Trusted sites zone, this issue is fixed.
Thanks!

I look forward to your reply and a resolution of this problem.
Thank you very much!!!

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

The odd tale of Quickmask and the alpha channel

I'm posting this in hope rather than expectation - as I keep requesting this is fixed, but I seem to be a lone voice.
I understand that this code was written back in the 90's - and I get the impression (from a senior Photoshop engineer no less) that no one really understands it...
The odd tale of Quickmask and the alpha channel
Try this:
With Quickmask set to it's defaults (double click the quickmask icon and ensure it's set to 'colour indicates : masked areas'), paint in black to create a 'red' quickmask area. Hit Q to return to the selection border. You should see two selection borders - one at the edge of the image defining the outer edge of the selected area, and one defining the inner edge of the masked area that you painted.
Now hit the 'save selection as channel' button at the bottom of the channel palette to create an alpha channel.Everything's as expected - the alpha is black ('unselected') where you painted.
Now repeat the process, but with the Quickmask mode set to 'colour indicates : selected areas'.
In this case where you paint in QM mode should be selected. Paint a patch and hit the Q key - it is. You have a single selected area. Now hit the 'save selection as channel' button at the bottom of the channel palette to create another alpha channel.
This time the alpha is incorrect - it's the inverse of what it should be.
And it gets worse:
Ctrl / Cmd click on the alpha thumbnail to load the alpha as a selection -
notice that it even loads the black area as a selection.
It's been like this as long as I can remember... and I really wish it was fixed.
I'm a Photoshop ACI. QM is a tool I'd like to get my students to use more, but this behaviour makes it 'difficult' to teach Quickmask to users, particularly in conjunction with alpha channels. In my experience it seems that most users find it more natural to 'paint on' a selection, rather than than 'paint off' a mask.
So most users would prefer to set 'colour indicates : selected areas'
I've been around long enough to know the rubylith heritage upon which Quickmask is modelled, however I now think it's time that baggage was left behind. I wonder what proportion of current Photoshop users even know what rubylith was?
There are two points here:
1. There should be NO connection between the QM paint state and the subsequent creation (or loading) of an alpha channel.
Whether you choose to label it a feature or a bug, it's clearly wrong to toggle out of QM mode, see a selection on screen, make an alpha channel - and find your alpha is reversed.
And in addition to that - it's a 'freak' alpha that subsequently loads reversed...
2. I think it's time to drop the rubylith baggage and set the QM paint mode to a default of set 'colour indicates : selected areas'.

Charles,
Thanks to your replies I've now discovered another twist to this tale...
When I'm saving a selection, I typically use the 'save selection as alpha' button in the channels panel. That shows the issue I'm referring to.
However, I've just discovered - thanks to your comments - that if instead you use the 'Select > Save selection' menu command you get a 'correct' alpha.
If you care to try that second example again you'll find you can get two different alpha's from the same selection - depending upon which saving option you choose!
This is now getting so complex, I'll have to put a pdf together explaining it and send it to our fiends at Adobe.

How to select the 5 most maximumst number and the 5 most minumumst number?

Dear All,
I draw a program. That is every loop the random number.vi create a number. I want to update the data in every loop to display the first 5 maximum number and the minumum.
I don't know how to do it. Could you please give me some suggestions.
Every reply is thankful.
My LabVIEW version is 7.1
Thanks!

Hi Hugo,
try those steps:
1) make a loop with 2 shift registers, initialized with arrays of 5 elements, set to 0.5 each
2) in the loop you append those two arrays containing 5 elements and the new random number (range 0...1)
3) sort the resulting 11 element array
4) take the first 5 for the 5 "smallest values" and the last 5 for "biggest values" and feed them into the corresponding shift register
5) next iteration!

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems! I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way! So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE! That isn't including the other apps that have had issues! I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging! It is costing me more than just this monthly fee! And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues. Really Adobe?

Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html may help

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks
