How do I host my podcast (made in garageband?)

Hi everyone,
I am a DJ that is interested in sharing podcasts with fans. I recently bought a mac and have started using Garageband. I have already created 2 podcasts, but my question is - how do I host them? How do I prepare them to be subscribed to? The reason I ask is that the only way I can see to host them is through a .Mac account - creating a "podcast web page" - from what I understand though, I don't have to have a .Mac account to post the podcasts I make within Garageband... so any information I can get from people who post podcasts would be great!
Since I already have created the podcasts within Garageband, can anyone explain to me how I actually get them online and able to be subscribed to by friends and fans? Any and all information would be a great help! Thank you in advance!!!

Okay, here are the general steps of what you need to do:
1. You have your 2 podcast episodes. Great. Are they at a bit rate that makes the file a reasonable size for download? If they aren't, you need to tweak them in you audio applications until they are. Also, if you want to add artwork to your podcast, you need to open your file in iTunes and modify the ID3 tags. More info here.
2. You need to find a host for your files, like Libsyn . . . or, some blogging services also offer server space, if you already have a blog. Here's a decent article on the subject.
3. You need to upload your media files to your web host, and create an RSS feed so that people can find them. Creating a feed can sometimes be confusing - you can use a podcast generator (they are all over the web) or you can build the feed yourself. iWeb can also help you set up one, but iWeb can be difficult to navigate if you want to change your feed around later. Here's a basic tutorial on building a feed. Also, you should check out the Podcast Tech Specs, the FAQ, and the top 6 podcasting questions (sticky at the top of this forum).
4. After your RSS feed has been built, you need to check that it is valid. Run it through feed validator and then use the "Advanced -> subscribe to podcast" menu in your iTunes player to test it out.
5. Once your podcast has had all the bugs worked out and runs like a well-oiled machine (and you are happy with the URL where it resides), you have many options. If you want to use FeedBurner to count your subscribers, you need to set yourself up with them before you do anything else, however (because you will need their URL to submit to directories). But, if you don't feel the need to do that, you can start submitting your feed URL to any directories you want your podcast listed in . . .such as the iTunes Store, Podcast Alley, Podcast Pickle, etc.
If any of these steps are confusing to you, ask before you leap. Otherwise have fun and good luck!

Weblog/Podcast Newbie - how do I host a podcast?

I am running 10.4.9 Server and the weblog is running. The main thing I want to get going is podcasts. I can make them fine but where should I post them to? Can the m4a file be added to a blog or should I be testing a web page made in iWeb uploaded to Username/Sites? I tried to add a Podcast through the Weblog advanced tab and got a page of Apache errors. Very frustrating because I can't find any docs to describe Pod hosting - only creation. I'm at a University so if anyone can point me to their site I'd be truly greatful

Read the Podcast Creation Guide and Podcast Backbone Guide, links here
http://podcasting.corante.com/archives/2005/12/21/applespodcasting_server_foreducation.php
Then read Tweaking Weblog
http://homepage.mac.com/applesd/downloads/weblog_tweaks.pdf
All you have to do is to add the file to the blog, but there are a lot of tweaks.
Not all are that easy to find.
You can customize it quite a bit, here is our site
http://video.conncoll.edu/weblog/
But first make sure the basics are working. We'll all be much better off with Leopard Server's Podcast Producer, I hope!

How can one find out who made the Garageband song 'For the Mind'

I ask because I have believed for 5 years that I did, it is in my projects folder from 2004. On Saturday I was playing with a new Apple laptop at JB Hi-Fi, I opened the Garageband folder and saw 'For the Mind'. I got a shock, then when I played it I went cold as it was as exactly my version! Either (and this is always a possibility) I am delusional, or I remember uploading a few things in my early use of Garageband, and somehow Apple has paid me a huge compliment and used my project as an example. I would love to know about this, it is driving me crazy now that I don't know. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Please don't rant at people who are trying to help you. I can tell my own compositions from others', and I'm not paranoid enough to suspect Apple to secretly search my hard drive for songs they can steal and publish as their own.
(And you still haven't answered my question as to how you think they got your song ...)

HT5225 what to do with podcasts created with GarageBand

With Apple doing away with hosting my podcasts created with GarageBand, will I be able to submit future podcasts that will appear in iTunes?

GarageBand wil make the actual recording of your podcast, together with chapter markers and images if you want an 'enhanced' audio podcast. It will not make the feed. It's designed to work directly with iWeb, which itself can post to any hosting service; but the file you save out of GarageBand can be used with any podcast creation program or service.
However you need to distinguish between the different types of image. The images that GarageBand adds to the file are visible when you subscribe to the feed in iTunes as they are actually embedded in the media file. The image which appears on the Store page, and the data such as categories, subtitles and so on, is all in the feed and GarageBand does not and never has provided these. If you work with iWeb you can add those details there to produce the feed, or other methods will provide places you can enter the data.
In your own interests, when you have a question please start a new thread rather than tacking on to an old one - this one is months old and indeed the OP's problem is not the same as yours. Questions about GarageBand itself are best asked in the GarageBand forum, and about podcasting in the Producing Podcast forum - you're in the iCloud forum and iCloud has nothing to do with this as it does not offfer website hosting.

How many of you use .mac to host your podcasts?

I'm wondering if you use iweb to host your podcasts...Am I better off using another hosting site in the event that my podcast draws a bunch of listeners?
Peace

.Mac is your account and anything that you publish from iWeb is published to your iDisk - like your server.

How can I remove a podcast from iTunes if iTunes is locked up.

I added a password protected podcast and iTunes locks up on the authentication dialog. Spinning beachball... only thing I can do is force quit.
Earlier solution was to go in and manually disable podcasts with Xcode. but then i can't play any of my podcasts.
The recent itunes update fixed the problem, sort of. it allowed me to use itunes normally again. But, I tried to subscribe to the podcast agin and... yup, same thing.
How can I remove that podcast from iTunes without using iTunes to remove it?
HELP!!!!

ROGER, I AM SORRY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE 10 POINT RATING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NOT WITH YOUR RESPONSE, WHICH WAS RIGHT ON, BUT WITH THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.
REGARDS, JEANNE

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,
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.

How do I move my podcast away from podbean

I set up a podcast with podbean, because it seemed the easiest way to get started.
I have now got someone else who would like to host my podcast for me, and I would like to move it over to them, and I am therefore wondering how do I do this without losing any subscribers I might have.
Please help.
Thanks
Danny

The method for moving a podcast involves placing a special tag in the original feed: please see this page for a full explanation:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
However I suspect that Podbean won't allow you to add this tag - some of these services don't. If this is the case, all you can do is email them at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them nicely - they've done this for others so they may well for you.

HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
<Email Edited by Host>

To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.

What is a quick alternative to launching an enterprise DPS app if Apple Store rejects the App? We are under a major deadline and can't wait for Apple. We want to host the app elsewhere. How do we host our DPS app on our client's website?

Unless I misunderstand the question, you can't do what you're asking to do. Apple doesn't allow you to bypass their store and host public apps on a website. The exception is an enterprise app, which requires an Enterprise account with both Apple and Adobe. This type of enterprise app can be distributed only within the company. If that's what you want to do, you can learn more here:

Another option is to add the development app to several devices and use those for your demo.

How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

How do I hide old podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and What's Up with the New Podcast Pane?

FIrst of all, I'm having fits with this "new" way of managing podcasts.
For years, I have managed the podcasts on my iPod (and now my iPhone 5) by manually syncing the device with my subscribed podcasts in iTunes. I have iTunes set to download the most recent episode of each of my podcasts and to keep all episodes until I delete them. Some podcasts I listen to or view only my MacBook Pro and I don't sync these to my iPhone. This has worked fine for years.
I moved to Apple's dedicated Podcasting app when I purchased my iPhone 5 earlier this year, but I maintained the manual syncing as I had done, using the app only to play the podcasts, not to subscribe to or download them.
I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 7 on launch day and downloaded iTunes 11.1 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. The iOS upgrades went flawlessly for both of my devices, but iTunes has been a problem. It was sluggish when I first opened it, with lots of spinning beach balls. When I opened it for the first time, I went to the Podcast section and to my list of podcasts. They all now had "Subscribe" buttons by each of them (I was already subscribed to the podcasts in iTunes before the update). I assumed that I had to click the buttons to activate subscriptions in iTunes, but low and behold I discovered that it subscribed my iPhone 5's podcast app to ALL of the podcasts in my list (even ones that I don't put on the iPhone). It also started DOWNLOADING all of the episodes of these podcasts to my iPhone which, had I let it continue, would have eaten all of my bandwidth on Verizon for the month (and then some), plus the iPhone would have been filled up long before it could finish downloading the episodes.
I managed to get the iPhone's Podcast app to stop downloading these episodes, then I manually deleted all of the podcasts that didn't belong on the iPhone. I then had to go through all of the podcasts in the app and click a yellow box that said they hadn't been updated and wouldn't resum updating until I clicked the box.
Then I went back to iTunes 11.1, where I discovered that ALL the podcast episodes for my subscriptions that are still available for download in their feeds were now listed (2,000+ episodes), with previously listened-to episodes now showing with a cloud download icon next to them. Even more frustrating, I can't delete these from iTunes even though I've already listened to them and, even more frustratingly, the "Subscribe" button remains by each podcast in the list.
All I want to do is remove these previously-listened to podcasts from my lists, remove the subscribe buttons (since I'm already subscribed in iTunes), and continue to manually sync my iPhone's podcasts with iTunes as before. What do I have to do to make this happen? And if these are new "features" of the new iTunes, please share with your team that, while there are many who update wirelessly over their cell carrier's bandwidth, others of us don't have the capability (or desire) to do things this way and we want to switch this off and return to the "old" way of doing things.
Any ideas on how to fix iTunes 11.1 to return to the old way of doing things would be greatly appreciated!

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

How do I host multiple domains on a single Messaging Server?

How do I host multiple domains on a single Messaging Server?
<p>
To host multiple domains on one Messaging Server, use the
mailAlternateAddress attribute. If you want to host two domains
(customer1.com and customer2.com) on your server mail1.domain.com,
make sure that:
The various domains (in DNS) point to the installed mail server
(you must have the MX records that
points mail for customer1.com to mail1.domain.com and
customer2.com to mail1.domain.com)
That each person receiving mail at customer1.com and
customer2.com has an appropriate mailAlternateAddress
attribute describing the appropriate email address. For
instance, John Doe can have an email address (i.e. the value
of the 'mail' attribute for the John Doe LDAP entry) of
[email protected] and receive his mail on
[email protected] (the value of the mailAlternateAddress
attribute)
With Messaging Server 3.5, mailAlternateAddress can take the
form of @mail1.domain.com. If jdoe's mailAlternateAddress is
set to @mail1.domain.com, mail sent to [email protected]
will be delivered to [email protected]

So what exactly am I doing with virtual hosts? There is a place for Aliases... What would I put in the "Aliases" box?
Any other host name that you want to resolve to the specified virtual host. It's quite literally an alias.
if you want www.example.com and www.example.org to end up at the same web site and you already have a virtual host — Apple refers to virtual hosts as sites — configured for www.example.com in Server.app, then you'd add www.example.org as an alias for the www.example.com virtual host (site).
Virtual hosts are implemented in a web server using some details of the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, and what the web browser (client) specified. The client gets handed an IP address or a domain name by the user, and the client then fetches the associated IP address for the target web server from the client's DNS services or local host database, and the client then connects to the IP address and passes over the text string that the user had requested — the IP address or domain name or even some local shortcut set up in the client system — via the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. The web server receives and processes this arriving text string from the client, and uses it to select which web site to render back to the web client. One subtle detail lurks here, too: the server's own DNS configuration really isn't involved in the selection of the virtual host.

How do I export HDR photos made on Photoshop CS5 onto a flashdrive so I can use them on a window machine for commercial purposes. Adobe support claims it is a apple problem not theirs. PS the other window machine doesn't have Photoshop cs 5 installed?

Hi, How do I export HDR photos made on a macpro with photoshop cs5 onto a flashdrive so they can be imported correctly into a windows machine that doesn't have photoshop installed on it? Already exported to a HP flashdrive but they do not even show up on a windows machine. Need that capabillity since this is for commercial printing. My wife's mac laptop only shows 3/4 of the picture the rest is grayed out. Adobe support claims it is a Apple problem. Love the finger pointing and hold me blameless atitude on their part. Told them creating a picture should be like gas that can be used in anybody's car, just not their Adobe equipped ferrari. Do I need to convert the file struture so it can be read by the window machine? How would I do that ? Any comments appreciated. Doug

I certainly wouldn't expect to read native PS CS5 files with all features intact and supported on a machine that doesn't have CS5 installed. Try saving the files as flattened (no layers) TIFFs before moving them to the flash drive and trying to open them on the Windoze box.
