I add my podcast through Advanced - Subscribe, nothing happens

I've been trying to test my podcast setup through iTunes before properly uploading the first few episodes and submitting them to the store. When I go to Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast via iTunes and enter my feed (http://www.silverscreensnobs.com/podcast/feed.xml) a generic icon appears with no information and does not download anything. It's like it just doesn't recognise the link. In fact, I tried putting a typo in the link, added it and had the same result - it just sits there and nothing happens so something's obviously wrong... When I try adding other podcasts this way they behave normally and start downloading instantly.
I have been searching through these forums for an answer with no luck. When I use my iPad and use a podcast app (iCatcher, to be specific) and enter my feed it instantly comes up with the three test MP3s and the option to subscribe so I don't think it's the feed... I have tried two different computers (Windows) using iTunes and have come up with this problem on both machines.
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks.

Your feed has a fatal error, occuring several times:

    Hello,
    I believe clicking that should bring you to this link:
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
    However, your user agent looks very strange. Did you download Firefox from Mozilla?

    If you did not, unofficial builds are not supported by Mozilla, and some are bundled with malicious applications. If you did not download from Mozilla, please uninstall Firefox now, and delete the Mozilla Firefox install directory to remove any residual files:
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    And reinstall Firefox by downloading from one of the two links posted earlier. Also if you remember where you downloaded Firefox, please report it here:

  • TS4185 I am having microphone trouble on face time.  Others cannot hear me.  I have checked system preferences and everything looks ok. Mic symbol has a line through it but nothing happens when I try to click on it.  Internal mic is selected.

    I am having microphone trouble on my Mac Book Pro during face time.  Others cannot hear me.  Microphone symbol has a line through it but will not allow me to change from muted to unmuted.  "Mute" under Video tab is greyed out and internal microphone is selected.  System Preferences show that internal microphone is working.  I have tried to restart computer, no difference.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Want to delete then reload firefox, but in add/remove programs, i click remove and nothing happens.

    Firefox will not work. I want to delete it, then reload it anew. But when I got to add/remove programs and click remove, nothing happens.

    I would recommend to download the driver appropriate for your system from the Canon webiste or, after installing it, to run software update and it will detect it for you.
    If you have the last driver appropriate for your system, you may wish to reset the printing system. To do this, go to Sys prefs/print and fax and, upon clicking minus button, also press Option/alt key. You will be asked to confirm, do it. Then, add the printer by pressing plus button, it should work now.
    But, before doing this, download the last good driver, CDs usually contain outdated drivers.

  • Nothing happens when I click on certain ebay buttons

    After many years on ebay, I am suddenly experiencing "dead buttons" when trying to leave sellers a message or when clicking on "continue" at the bottom of pay my sellers page. When I click on "I need to pay for 3 items, it directs me to the page where all the unpaid items are listed. When I click on "add message" below the specific item, nothing happens. Then when I click on "Continue" at the bottom of the page, nothing happens. Ebay and my ISP (COMCAST) are miffed and have no idea why this problem suddenly arose. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Then it's likely a problem with your system installation. You might try reinstalling:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Is "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." better than via iTMS?

    Am I right in thinking that if I subscribe to a podcast via the subscribe button I do not link directly to the podcast's feed but to an Apple server that redirects me to the feed, and that there is a significant delay between a podcast appearing on the feed and it's appearing on Apple's server, whereas if I subscribe manually via "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." I link directly to the feed and hence get my podcasts all the sooner?
    Gosh what a long sentence.
    Gordon

    Sometimes.
    Apple runs an extra review pass on XML feed files that can result in a podcast no longer updating in the store. Maybe the author adds an iTunes tag incorrectly or something like that.
    Also, Apple does appear to cache some of the more popular podcasts. This does often result in a delay in seeing new podcasts compared to using a direct Subscribe URL. But it can also mean that those podcasts download much faster for you since they come from an Apple sponsored location.
    For a couple podcasts I now subscribe to both the iTMS feed and the podcaster's direct feed. When the iTMS feed starts working again, I'll unsubscribe from the direct feed.
    The bottom line is that podcasts come from a variety of sources and you need to check the podcaster's web site now and then to make sure your feed hasn't fallen behind for some reason.

  • Can't subscribe to podcasts through apple app iphone 4s

    I downloaded the new Apple Podcasts app.  I am trying to subscribe to some podcasts that interest me however when I touch the subscribe button in the app nothing happens.  I can subsribe to some but not to all, yet all give me the option to subscribe.  For example, I cannot subscribe to either NBC nightly news or ESPN PTI.  I uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.  Reset network setting, nothing.  Any suggestions?  Are you only able to subscribe to certain podcasts through the app?
    Also, is there is a way when you do subscribe to only keep like the newest 1 or 2.  I want the newest one to replace the current one on my phone.  This will help with clutter and storage space.  Thanks for any advice.

    Go to Settings > iTunes &amp; App Stores and sign out of the account. Then log back in using the same Apple ID your used to originally purchase iTunes Match.

  • Add a Podcast - Missing?

    Hi - i have been getting used to working with podcasts.
    I have submitted 2 podcasts as tests - with the intention of removing them after i knew it all worked.
    Everything worked fine but i wanted to test one more, before removing them...
    However - in iTunes the Add A Podcast in the Quicklinks menu has disappeared????!!!
    Have i done something wrong? Do you think i have been blocked from using it - as i have been uploading "irrelevant material" with no descriptions or something...???
    Any help would be great
    Cheers
    Rich

    The 'Add a Podcast' link does not appear in the Quick Links: possibly this is a result of the recent revamp of the appearance of the Store (it's nothing to do with your submissions). The method for submitting described in the Help, and that in the Podcast Tech Specs page don't seem to work either. You can submit a podcast at
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast
    If you have successfully submitted a podcast you will get a confirmation email after a week or two, giving you the URL for the Store page on which your podcast appears. In order to remove a podcast you need to follow the procedure detailed here.
    You can test whether a feed works by choosing 'Subscribe to Podcast' from the 'Advanced' menu in iTunes: this doesn't involve the Store but has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page for a podcast. You can also check the validity of a podcast feed at

  • Car bluetooth no longer able to play podcasts through stereo interface after 8.1

    I have a 2012 Scion Tc (with the pioneer touchscreen audio interface) and an Ipad Air. Since upgrading to 8.1, I have lost all functionality to choose and play podcasts (and specifically podcasts, music works fine) through my car interface. I can navigate my selection of podcast to play but when I pick the one I want nothing happens. If you manually use the podcast app on the ipad and press play, it works fine but cannot navigate to say the next podcast in line. You must select everything through the Ipad, which is not possible when driving.

    It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network.  Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
    The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
    - Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
    If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router.  I have a few ideas if this is required.  Let me know.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • I add a podcast in music, change the type to Podcast, and it disappears

    Eventually these seem to show up again, but it's very annoying. I add a podcast because I want to listen to it now... I am on Windows 7 with iTunes 10.
    I can try to add it again, but it never shows up. It's like iTunes thinks it's already added it, but it's invisible in both Music and Podcasts.

    iTunes downloads Podcasts. What you have downloaded is not a Podcast.
    marilyndw wrote:
    I go into iTunes and use File->Add File to Library.
    If it was delivered to you as a Podcast, you would not need to do this.
    marilyndw wrote:
    Using the "Get Info" option, I change the "Media Kind" to be Podcast (it is set as Music).
    It then vanishes from iTunes
    As I said previously, simply changing the Media Kind to Podcast does not make it a Podcast. However, since you have done that, the file, whatever it is, will move to the Podcasts section of your iTunes Library. In the Podcasts section, it should be listed by its album title. So the "Album title" in the Music section, will become the "Programme name" in Podcasts, listed under the heading Podcasts and with an arrow next to it. Click on the arrow and the list will expand to reveal the "episodes". The "episode's" name will be the song title.
    I'll say it again. A Podcast is something that has been delivered to your iTunes by the delivery method known as Podcasting. The file itself is not "a Podcast". So when someone says "you're listening to our Podcast", it's actually a shorthand way of saying "you're listening to the programme we made, and which has been delivered to you as a Podcast."
    So, to find these missing files in your iTunes, use the search facility and look in the Podcasts section of your iTunes Library for the song name. In the results that appear you will not see the song name, because what you see is the "Programme name". You need to expand each result to find your song or whatever it is.
    The reason you have trouble adding it a second time is just that, you've already added it. But you've then changed some of the information about the file and when you try to "add it again" it is no longer "music", but a "Podcast", and that's because you set it that way.
    I still don't understand why you feel the need to change the file to Podcast.
    If this material is described by its producer as a Podcast, the why don't you find the Podcast through the iTunes Store and subscribe and download it through iTunes "as a Podcast"? If the programme truely is not to be found in the iTunes Store (by using search the store), then presumably the producer has the Podcast URL (or Podcast Feed, or the RSS link) shown on their website. You can copy-and-paste that Podcast URL into your iTunes Podcasts section and subscribe (for free, usually) to the Podcast, in iTunes. Then every new epsisode of the Programme will automatically download to your iTunes, put itself into your iTunes Podcasts Library and if you have set your iPod to Sync Podcasts, iTunes will also add that Podcast episode to your iPod.
    At the moment, you appear to be making extra and uneccessary work for yourself.
    And if this material is not actually a Podcast, then why try to make it so? What are you trying to achieve? You can listen to it, even when it's Media Kind is Music. If you're trying to stop it from playing when playing your music on shuffle, then leave it as Media Kind/Music but set it to Skip on shuffle.
