Help with a particular Podcast

Hello... I need one person to help me check something out... I am not sure if it is a podcast server problem on the radio stations side or if it is itunes store or is it the Itunes 7.5 that I updated to 7.6....
Okay I love this particular podcast called "Johnjay and Rich at their best"
you search for it under podcasts and typing in the search box "johnjay".... It will bring up the podcasts linstings for this radio show... Click on the subscribe part of the "johnjay and rich at their best" either the one with or without the picture Logo. Then I need you to click over on the left of itunes to see if the podcast comes up under the podcasts section and shows the available episodes.... Or do you get an exclamation point stating that the url doesnt seem to be a podcast url... If you get this then I know its not my itunes 7.6 update that it is the radio stations problem... If you get it to work then I know I have a problem with my itunes. you can always delete the podcast from the podcast section by right clicking and delete. Please someone help me.. it should take but a mnute to check this out for me... Reply with your answer on this posting if possible... THANKS SO MUCH Matt

Hi there,
The issue you are describing is due to a bug in a piece of software that we run at Virgin to dynamically build our podcast files. In a nutshell it was to do with concatenating MP3 files but not correctly respecting frame boundaries.
All software players seem to cope fine but for some odd reason when played back on an iPod if you attempted to seek in the stream it would behave erratically. Because "remembering playback positions" is related to stream seeking then this also broke.
We have now fixed the issue so feel free to redownload those podcasts and you should fine that seeking and the remembering of playback positions will work for you.
Sorry about that, but mostly definetely our bug and not Apple's.

Help with starting a Podcast!

Hello!
I am wanting to start a podcast, but I am afraid I have no idea exactly how to.. I have spent quite a bit of time researching the easiest most effective way to start a podcast and upload it to Itunes, but in the end just feel more confused..
SO here is my simple question..
What do I need to do to start a Podcast and upload it to Itunes?
I bought a top of the line microphone, and have been messing around in gargeband to record it, but after that I am completely lost as to the next steps..
Thanks soo much to anyone with advice!

Help with a particular way with formulae

I am drawing up a schedule for my college. I would like to insert formulae into the schedule so that I don't have to keep entering data.
So, how can I insert the timings of a particular course into one field and get it to show the number of hours in another field beside it. In this case for a whole column labelled course timings and number of hours respectively.
For example: 2.30pm-4.30pm. How do I get the result of 2 hours in another field by just entering this data?

Why not read the "iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide" available to every user from the Help menu ?
If the starting time is in B2, the ending time is in C2
enter =C-B in D2

Strange problem with one particular podcast

I have searched on the forums, perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms, but I haven't been able to find another post about a problem similar to this. I use my iphone to listen to various news podcasts while driving. One of them - "CNN Marketplace Update" started doing something very odd at the end of 2009 - every time I update the podcast, I get the 12/31/09 podcast. If I download the one from 4/5/2010, it begins with "Happy New Years Eve! blah blah blah". I download the one from 4/1/2010, it begins with "Happy New Years Eve! blah blah blah". It is actually downloading and saving separate podcast files, but they are all duplicates of the same podcast. I tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing to the same podcast, manually deleted all of the podcast files, and the problem has persisted through an upgrade of the version of itunes I am using. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?

It's not Apple's responsibility.
Podcasts are created, managed and made available though the iTunes Store (not in the iTunes Store) by the Podcasts's producer. If the same thing happens again, you should contact the producer of the podcast.

I need some help with my new podcast. Please!

I've just set up a new podcast and it's online on itunes. The xml file is hosted on my website. Can i edit the text within this file...i.e. if there is a spelling mistake...ping this...and itunes will update it? Cos i tried doing that but no changes were made...any ideas?
Also, to generate my xml file, i used this website
http://www.podcastblaster.com/podcast-feed/index.php
However i noticed that feedburner allows you to collate statistics on subscribers and podcast downloads....how can i switch to feedburner? i find this all so confusing. does anyone know what im talking about?

From looking at their site, Podblaster creates the feed file from the data you give it: so it's no good you editing the feed file yourself as Podblaster will over-write it the next time you add an episode. Any changes you make to data or episode in Podblaster will cause an amended version of the feed file to be uploaded and this will eventually be reflected in the itunes Store; it usually takes 1-2 days, occasionally longer, for new episodes to appear in the Store, and it's possible that minor amendments to the texts won't show until you upload a new episode.
To take advantage of Feedburner's statistics facilities you need to submit the feed to Feedburner, and then submit the feed it generates to the iTunes Store. This will involve you either using the procedure detailed here (which involves adding a special tag to the feed - something you may well not be able to do) or submitting this feed as a new podcast to the Store (which will necessitate making a small change to the name).
If you have any further queries please post both the URL of your feed and of the iTunes Store page (please include the http:// in both cases), without which it's possible only to give very general answers.

Help with downloading BBC podcasts

I can no longer update all the BBC podcasts I'd subscribed to. I'm getting the ! appearing and when I click on it, it says that "Authorization is needed to access <weblink of podcast>".
I typed my password in wrong in the Store area when trying to download a song a few days ago and I exceeded the number of attempts but my password is working fine now.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Paul

What exact video podcast you're trying to download? Maybe just a server issue.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

Begging for help with podcast xml file

Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
Eric

Your feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store.

Need help with Podcasting...

This issue is directed to those with plenty of podcasting experience. (Also, I have the iWeb version just previous to iWeb 08, but that forum has practically died and I really need help.)
I'm a total newbie when it comes to podcasting, although I've had my website for almost a year and feel comfortable with iWeb.
Here's the issue:
I created a podcast using GarageBand3 and under the "Share" menu, I "Sent to iWeb." I put the podcast on a "Blog" page (because it had both the "Subscribe" and "RSS" buttons, and someone told me the blog and podcast pages work the same way).
I published my iWeb to a folder, and uploaded it to godaddy.com using Fetch. My URL is www.andrewhollinger.com. The page is the "podcast" page. You may need to visit the site to see what I mean because this next part gets a little confusing -- at least to me.
Everything is on the website. And the podcast works just fine if I push play from the website. When I tried to test my feed with iTunes, however, I ran into all sorts of errors because iTunes does not recognize the URL as a podcast.
When I went back to my webpage, I pushed both the "Subscribe" and "RSS" buttons to see what would happen. The link says "This page does not exist" and says the URL is www.andrewhollinger.com/andrewhollinger.com/Podcast/rss.xml. It doubled the main URL.
I'm really hoping someone with more expertise can walk me through where I went wrong, and how to fix it so that my podcasts can be seen by iTunes so that I can submit it to the iTS.
Thanks in advance.
Andrew Hollinger

ITunes rejected my podcast - help with resubmitting

Hi there! First off I'd like to say that I have "minimal" expertise with podcasts, but have successfully been podcasting for a little over a year now. I'm a DJ and make podcasts of my DJ mixes for promotional use (like many of the 100s that are listed in the iTunes Music Store). I've tried a few times to list my podcast in the ITMS and every time it has been rejected with no specific reason stated (just the generic reasons given to everyone I'm sure). The ITMS did at one point have my podcast come up in it's search results but it never actually worked in allowing someone to subscribe to my podcast. I contacted the ITMS and they have since removed the search results.
I am trying to resubmit my podcast for approval and now I keep getting an error that the feed has already been submitted. I contacted the ITMS support team and they suggested the following:
"I also know that when podcasters receive a message that the feed has already been submitted, the iTunes Store is detecting that the podcast is a duplicate. You'll need to follow these steps to resubmit the podcast after making some changes:
1) Change the title and link fields of your RSS feed to something other than what they are now.
2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the title and link fields back to what they were."
I do not know anything about coding and/or XML and use a 3rd party application called Feeder to update my XML file.
Could someone PLEASE help me? I've been trying to get help with this for many months now, but kept posting under the GarageBand section. I'm thinking I'll get much more intelligent and applicable help over here.
My podcast is located at http://www.auralpleasuresmusic.com/. The Feed link is http://idisk.me.com/keith_bowden/Public/AuralPleasures.xml (which as you can tell by the URL I use my MobileMe account to host).
If there is any other information that will help with solving this please let me know and I will provide it.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Keith

Your site is produced in iWeb and this will produce a podcast feed for you - perhaps that's how you are starting. The 'auralpleasures' text underneath the logo on your web page has a link to the same feed at feedburner.
The feed you give the URL for, on your iDisk, has, when downloaded, the filename AuralPleasures.xml.rss - you would do better to remove the .rss extension. However the feed can be subscribed to manually in iTunes. When examined in FeedValidator it says the feed is valid but comments 'Feeds should not be served with the "application/octet-stream" media type' - this may possibly arise from the double extension. However it's quite likely that this is not causing your problem
There is a bug in the iTunes Store whereby if a podcast is rejected and resubmitted it claims the podcast has already been submitted. In order to get round this you should change the name slightly - you could do this in iWeb and work on from there - for example call it 'Aural-Pleasures'. This would change both the title and the feed filename, and so would make it look like a new feed; then you should be able to resubmit it. I can't advise on how Feeder comes into this.
This leaves the matter of why your podcast was rejected. Reasons for removal include technical problems (probably not the case here), illegal or objectionable material (again, as far as I can see not the case either) or copyright violation.
The content of the episodes is 'mixes' and I would hazard a guess that the most likely explanation for your podcast's removal is that the iTunes Store is concerned that you are including copyright material for which you don't have either written permission from the copyright owner or a valid podcast licence from a recognized authority. If this is their concern, and you don't have such clearance, they are not likely to allow you to post your podcast (because under some jurisdictions they may be regarded as co-publishers and liable to the same civil suits as you might be).
If you do have clearance you need to make this clear to them, though I'm not sure how you can do this other than by contacting Support again, emphasizing the point, and hoping that they respond constructively.

Help with multiple libraries: 1 local, 1 Airdisk

(Note: I posted this on the iTunes board, but I think it has more to do with my Airport Extreme / hard drive setup. It used to work when the library was a USB external drive attached directly. Now that it's on Airport, not so much.)
I have a new 802.11N AirPort Extreme, to which I have connected a LaCie 500GB HD/USB hub. I have a 100GB library of music on this hard drive. The hard drive is an AirPort Disk through the AirPort Extreme.
I used the iTunes consolidate libary option to locate my music files to this AirPort Disk. In the folder just above the music files, I've placed the Album Artwork folder, the iTunes library .xml file, and the library .itl file. To establish this library, I held down OPTION while clicking on iTunes in my dock, then selected this Airport Disk library to open. This worked just fine.
However, I would like to manage a separate local library on my MacBook Pro's hard drive to keep music to listen to at work and my podcasts, etc. In the past, I was able to use the multiple library option to do this when I had my music on an external USB drive (not via Airport). I could select one or the other library, and iTunes would remember the location in Preferences > Advanced. I could switch libraries back and forth often, and iTunes would remember the library location.
This isn't the case anymore. When I establish iTunes to use the Airport Disk library, it works fine. When I try to switch to a local library, it still keeps the AirPort Disk location in Preferences. If I change it to local, then switch back to the Airport library, it keeps the local address in Preferences. Switching it back at that point requires a lengthy process where iTunes has to reindex the file locations presumably.
Please help! This was totally unexpected. Being able to manage a local library is important to me (there are differences between the two, particularly podcasts--that I don't care to have in my "master" library on the Airport Disk).
Thanks in advance.
BTW...I'm on a MacBook Pro, Core 2 Duo, running the most recent version of iTunes.

Update: Now this is happening. Grrr. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4052927&#4052927
