How to allow audio download of podcast

How can we make it so visitors to our podcast page can download a podcast without having to subscribe to our podcast?

Upload the audio file as a zip to a folder on your server. Create a hyperlink to that zip and it will download when clicked in the browser. This page describes the method for PDFs but it is the same for any type of file....

See the note at the bottom about making your zip PC compatible.

How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

How do you find out how many views and downloads a podcast has had?

Your question may be better placed in the "Producing Podcasts" forum instead of here in iTunes for Windows.
I assume though (I don't produce Podcasts), that the host server (where the Podcast is downloaded from) has the option of providing that information to the Podcast's producers.
Two points though;
That information is likely to only be available to the producers of that Podcast, not to listeners (or competitors)
It's almost certainly an add-on service, that needs to be paid for, in addition to the hosting service.
If it's your Podcast, check with the host service that you use.

Firefox insists I install adobe flash player and gives incomprehensible instructions on how to allow the download. Can I get instructions please

Firefox insists that I install adobe flash player but the instructions given at the link on how to do it are incomprehensible. Can someone interested in Firefox take pity on me and please provide instructions, as the adobe site cannot seem to. Thanks

'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox''': your ver. 10.0 r45; current ver. 10.1 r53 ('''important security update 2010-06-10''')
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin#Updating_Flash Updating Flash]'''
-'''use Firefox to download''' and '''SAVE to your hard drive''' (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-check to see that Firefox is completely closed (''Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window'')
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.
*Also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash ~~red:'''''and'''''~~ [[How do I edit options to add Adobe to the list of allowed sites]]
'''''Other Issues''''': ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~
'''Update Java''': your ver. 1.5.0_11 (~~red:very old~~); current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010)

How do you re-download a podcast episode that you previously deleted?

In the Podcasts app for a particular podcast, it will list episodes with newest first, indicate whether they have been played or not, and give you the option to download any episode that is not already on your iPhone. I have one podcast that I listen to regularly, and it's set to only keep the last 3 episodes. Usually it works fine. When I download the latest, the oldest one then gets removed from my phone, leaving always 3 episodes on the phone. That last episode that was removed will then show up again with the arrow button to let me download if it I wish.
But what about episodes that I delete manually by swiping left? If I want to delete an episode manually, I swipe left and the Delete button appears, but then that episode disappears completely from the episode listing. What do I do if later on I want to download it again? I don't see how to access it at all. Anyone know?

If you didn't move the app to the Trash, you may have "hid" the purchase.
Click Account right side of the App Store window under Quick Links and login.
In the Account Information window click View Hidden Purchases
Then click Unhide > Done
Now click Purchases at the top of the App Store window, select the app in the list then Option + Click where you see Installed then click Install.
You must use the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the app.

How do I stop downloading the same podcast four times

How do I stop downloading eavh podcast four times Arums

First of all, that sounds like your computer is not secured from other users. Make sure to have the login page come up on startup and set a password for your computer to wake from sleep, etc.
In your Dictation & Speech panel, select the Text to Speech section and in the Voice drop-down, choose Customize...
In there find the voices that have been added to your listing and uncheck them. Hopefully, that will stop any further downloading.
The voice currently downloading is grayed out, meaning you can't stop it directly.
HOWEVER, if you find it in Activity Monitor you can. Open Activity Monitor and go to the Network tab.
Sort the activity by Received Bytes and your culprit should show at the top, with the name softwareupdates or something like that. Force quit that and you will get a notice that your voice download was interrupted. It will be unchecked in Dictation & Speech.
Hope this helps.

I can no longer download PDF podcasts

With iOS4, I am no longer allowed to download PDF podcasts. I really want to be able to download and view them without my computer involved. Is there a way?
Example: http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/rick-steves-britain-audio/id354697208 (has several PDFs)

I had the same problem.
Before I solved it, sometimes it would work if I moved the tab from the new window to the window where the Chase main page was. Then after a reload it the PDF would show up.
Some other websites where PDFs are generated also showed a blank page.
''The solution'': I had the '''PDF download''' Add-on (latest version, 3.0.0.2) and disabled it. It is not enough to disable the add-on in its add-on bar button, and writing the website in the add-on's "do not use" list also doesn't work. The only thing that works is disabling it in the Add-ons Manager or even uninstalling it.

How to change the author and "podcast website," in iTunes store?

Hi,
my itunes store page is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-fallacy-a-day-podcast/id469610386 and my podcast is hosted on a free account at Podomatic.
It seems that the information on that page is drawn from the data on my Podomatic feed, including the "iTunes" page in my Podomatic account. All I ever did on iTunes is to go into the store section of iTunes and submit the rss URL.
I've read the FAQ but can't see how to change these features of my iTunes store page:
1. On my itunes store page the title is: "The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast By The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast" but I would rather it be "The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast by fallacaday.com"
2. Also on that page, under "Links" on the right, if you click Podcast website it takes you to fallacyaday.podomatic.com but I would prefer that iTunes store visitors are directed to my podcast's home page at fallacyaday.com.
As it stands, my homepage is being completely bypassed by some downloaders (although I do mention it in the podcast episodes themselves) and I have no metric on how many people are downloading the podcast. My Google Analytics indicate a constant number of visitors each day while the Podomatic bandwidth usage is increasing. I have no idea of what proportion of downloaders are doing so on Podomatic vs iTunes. Podomatic's own statistics (for the free account) are almost totally useless because they oscillate wildly from one day to the next.
Thanks to anyone who can offer help on these two questions!

Everything in the iTunes Store about your podcast is carried in the feed: the title is in the 'title' tag and the link in the 'link' tag. Although I'm not familiar with Podomatic my understanding is that you don't have access to the feed yourself, but have to set the details within Podomatic.
It should be easy enough to change the title by changing it wherever you originally set it. As to the link, I've seen others complaining that it directs to the podomatic site and can't be changed. Obviously they want to attract attention to their own service. I imagine this can't be changed but it's something you would need to take up with Podomatic.
Even if you had the correct link most visitors probably won't bother with it. If they are interested they will subscribe to your podcast in iTunes and listen to the episodes there - there's no reason to go to the site. iTunes does not provide usage statistics, and visits to your website aren't really relevant.
I'm afraid that the problem with all these online services is that they are what they are - they make it easy to get a podcast up and running but the facilities they provide may not always be exactly want you want and can't be changed.

HT1725 I have tried to download the podcast "Ab Trimmer" from Exercise Tv and it does not allow the download to be completed. Comes up with Unable to Download podcast prompt. I now just want this to be moved from my download list, how do I do this?

I have tried to download the podcast "Ab Trimmer" from Exercise Tv and it does not allow the download to be completed. Comes up with Unable to Download podcast prompt. I now just want this to be removed from my download list, how do I do this?

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

I attempted to download a podcast but it was corrupt and only a fraction downloaded. It won't download and I can't delete. How do I get it off my itouch?

I attempted to download a podcast but it was corrupt. Only a fraction downloaded and I can't download nor delete. Any ideas as to how to delete?

If a Podcast has only partially downloaded, then you need to delete that partial download before iTunes will "allow you" to begin a fresh download of that same file.
Have a look in your iTunes Media folder for the Download folder. On my Windows 7 for instance, it's Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads. In that folder, there should be a sub-folder with the name of that podcast which has the partial download in it. Delete the named podcast folder, but not the Download folder.
You should then be able to start a fresh download (if you still want it!).

I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I cannot find most of them on the display. Where did they go? How can I retrieve them?

I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I can only see four or five of them when I touch podcasts. When I check back on the subscription to On Being, I see all the podcasts checked off that I downloaded. Why are they not on the display so I can play them? How do I retrieve them? When I go back to the subcription list, the items do not allow for download again (ie. there is not "get").
I have an iPod Nano that I just bought last month. The user manual give mostly info on songs and little useful info on podcasts.
Thanks.

How do I delete downloaded podcast episodes?

Hello,
I am using an iPod touch. Using iTunes on the iPod, I downloaded some podcast episodes. (I did not subscribe to podcasts. I just downloaded individual episodes.) I can listen to the audio without wifi by going to Music app/program, choosing More, then Podcasts.
But once I'm done listening to them, how do I delete the audio?
NOTE: I do NOT want to connect the iPod to a computer. I want to delete the audio/podcasts directly on the iPod touch.
Thank you.

thanks, lllaass. Swiping solved it. Hope that when I remove the last episode in the podcast, the podcast itself is removed from my list of downloaded podcasts.

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

How to download new podcasts one at a time?

Hello,
can anyone tell me how to download new podcast episodes one at a time? I have a slow 70k flatrate and iTunes starts all downloads at the same time, so most of them stop because they are too slow. So I have to klick each episode manually. Instead, I would like to leave my PC for one hour, and then all the podcasts should be there.
Many thanks,
Danny
