How do I choose a podcast program OTHER than iTunes

My iTunes has gone all flukey and I don't know yet what is wrong with it. I have posted about it in other threads.
I'd like to find it out if it IS iTunes itself (like, maybe I need to reinstall it?) or if it's something else (for example, the Winsock catalog fix that I tried did NOT work).
But I don't know how to find another "podcatcher" program.....when I Google and find a list of them, the descriptions are all so geeky I don't know what the heck to pick! I just want to be able to download something (for example one of my video podcasts) in this other program, and import it into iTunes library. That way I could see where the error lies.
Do I NEED a podcatcher program? Is there any other way to download a podcast?
I am also having technical problems with downloading shows (it took me 6 re-starts of the computer to get the whole Lost episode; it boots me totally offline), so it's not just podcasts.
thanks

This question is no longer relevant. I now have a wonderful MacBook Pro and am happy using iTunes

  • Can Ipot beoperated with any other program other than itunes?

    I would really love to use my IPod. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I remove itunes and reinstall it, I get this message:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Since I can't get any help from anyone at Apple without purchasing it (and I don't feel I should have to purchase help for a malfunction in a program), does anyone know if I can download books, etc., on to my ipod using something other than itunes.
    Thanks.

  • Ways to stream audio from programs other than iTunes?

    Ok, the only way I have heard of doing this is with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil program, which costs $25. Is there any other way to work around this for free? I think it's not worth me going out and buying a $100 product and then having to pay $25 for a feature that should be integrated. Anyways, ideas? Thanks for your time.

    Sorry but Airfoil is the way to do it.

  • Sync program other than iTunes

    I just purchased an iPod touch. My children have cheap MP3 players. I do not want to manage multiple music libraries and playlists. Is there any other sync option for the touch? Can I add a plugin to WMP and sync a touch? Can I download and use another mp3 manager?

    Can I download and use another mp3 manager?
    No.
    You may be able to find something to add music, but nothing except iTunes can add Apps, sync your contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts, settings, perform backups, perform firmware updates, access the iTunes Store, access the AppStore, download videos, movies, games, manage your account, etc. etc.
    Maybe just buy your children cheaper iPods and manage them all in iTunes?

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

  • How can I enter my podcast in more than one category?  Mine covers arts, education and society and culture, but is listed as "Performing Arts".  Thank you for your time!

    How can I enter my podcast in more than one category, to reflect the fact that it covers arts, education and society and culture?  Thank you for your time!

    You can have more than one category - this page shows you how the tags are formed:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    The Store will list only the first category and its sub-category at the top of the page. Like the first category, the others will in theory make your podcast available for searching by category. However searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.
    If you have further questions about making your podcast it's better to ask them in the Producing Podcasts forum.

  • Any program other than safari won't detect internet

    any program other than safari won't detect internet eg. itunes, skype etc. I can't even system update.
    Safari has no problems and I can use the internet fine.
    Someone told me to check proxy settings and make sure "Use Passive FTP Mode" was ticked which it is...
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I urgently need to fix this and I can't get an appointment to see anyone until next week.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Kaan for your reply,
    Yes, Network does indicate that Airport is connected to the internet. Internet Explorer (OS X) connects instantly over the same network. Restarting Safari doesn't work. Waiting a few minutes doesn't work. Choosing a different web site to access doesn't work. Safari (1.3.1) has worked beautifully for months over this same network.
    Thanks again and Happy New Year.

    how to move downloaded files from download folder to other relevant folder or how to download files in relevant folders other than download folder

    Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

    Yes, and much more.
    Why not try the 30 days trial version which has all the features of Elements ?
