Illustrations & chapters in a Podcast file

Garageband no longer export the illustrations and chapters that I add to my podcasts when I export them in iTunes or to my Hard Drive. Why ?
I can't understand, and it's make me crazy !

Hi, William,
I don't know what's causing your problem, but the following is often a solution to flakiness in GB:
Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
Search for the two files:
com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
com.apple.garageband.plist
and discard them.
(Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)
Good luck,
WH [:c)~

ITunes 9 no longer supports iPod to sync playlists made with podcast files

With the last iTunes upgrade my iPod can't recognize those playlists I had previously created with podcasts files downloaded using iTunes. They just have disappeared from the list in the section Playlists of my old iPod 5G. The same occurs with a new iPod Touch 3G, thus it seems to be related with some change in my computer's software rather than the iPod.
With this last v.9 upgrade all my old podcasts had also disappeared from the section Podcasts but I eventually I could find the cause and fixed it: By default iTunes 9 is configured so that those podcasts which have been totally or partially listened are not synchronize. This can be easily modified opening the Podcasts tab in the iTunes device settings and change the options in 'Sync Podcasts'.
I'd really appreciate I could transfer again my podcast playlists to my iPod. I find rather disappointing to lose the iPod feature I've probably being used most frequently during the last 3 years. It'd thank anyone who could tell me some way to go around this constriction. Otherwise I hope this feature to be supported by iTunes in future upgrades.

I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.
I get an error message when I try to update saying:
Updates could not be applied. The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. Then, try updating again. If the problem persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
Error Log: Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
What do I do with information? I tried updating several times. None of my Adobe products will update.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And I fail to see what compatibility issues you are trying to fix. Illustrator allows to save to a variety of formats, including older versions of its own AI files...

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?
You can view my video podcast at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=83434502

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

Does anybody know why Illustrator will open Solidworks DWG files saved in R2007-2009 version but not version R2010?

Evidently Solidworks changed the output of their files to a format that AI cannot interpret. Just backsave in Solidworks to the required version.

Podcast file to "normal" mp3 file

Please ...
Is it possible to change the podcast file into an MP3 "normal" file and see it in the Library window ?
Thanks
Gil

Further development....
If the file has the ID3v2 removed, via mp3rage etc, then it also returns to a normal file. I have done a few tests on iTunes downloaded podcasts, and this does work. However you also lose lots of extra info, such as long titles and descriptions in the lyrics or comments sections, plus artwork.
This is a bit of a pain, but you can copy and paste between old and new file with mp3rage. Slow, but better than clipped info.
So copy the files to a new folder.
drag folder to edit multiple files tags
set ID3v2 to none, ID3v1 to 1.1 and check both boxes & change genre - click update.
now set ID3v2 tag to v2.2.0 and click update.
copy and paste any info you want between old and new files via iTunes and/or mp3rage.
delete old files.
I'm certain this works, and is easy if you don't have long names or need the extra tag info.

Illustrator abruptly closed my saved file and said it cannot open the illustration. It says it contains illegal operand. Offending operator: 1. #INF. Can anyone please help?

What exactly did it do?
Crash while saving a file? That most probably ruins a file.
You can try and create a new Illustrator file, then place the old one in it. If that doesn't work, You might need to search for a backup.
Don't have a backup?
Start using the (free) plugin Autosaviour, use Time Machine (or whatever your system offers as a backup software)

Illustrator CC opens file showing missing embedded images. Illustrator 5.1 opens same file fine with no missing images.

How do I get CC to open these files correctly? Is the client saving them incorrectly?
My work around has now become a pain & I need to know why Illustrator CC tells me most/all embedded images are missing in files received by clients.
Illustrator 5.1 opens the files ok & gives me no errors. It does a few funky things because ti says the file was produced with a new version. The file previews fine in the Finder window & shows all images. The issue with opening them in 5.1 is it wants to open 1 page at a time like the AI file is a PDF.
Why is CC failing to recognize the embedded images? Are the images not embedded correctly by the client? Is 5.1 pulling from some lower res version of the images? Files export from 5.1 as hires. Stumped.
Oh my gosh why arent they just using InDesign. : (

Please get informed about how Illustrator saves files and what exactly is in a file and how it is re-opened.
See: http://rwillustrator.blogspot.de/2006/11/whats-in-file.html
When in Illustrator CS5, Illustrator actually opens the PDF part of the file that contains all the images. Always.
When in Illustrator CC, Illustrator accesses the AI part of the file, which doesn't necessarily contain the images.

How do I stop Illustrator CS3 from continually stealing file associations?

Since moving from CS2 to CS3 I've been plagued with a file association problem. Every time I run Illustrator CS3, it steals the file association for .FLT files (this didn't happen in CS2). .FLT files don't appear in the Bridge so I can't do anything about it there. Problem is that .FLT files have been around since 1990 and are used by a 3D modelling package. Now Illustrator keeps trampling the file association and I can't figure out how to stop it. The .FLT files I've used for the past two decades are NOT Illustrator filters.
Anyone got any bright ideas? At the moment I have a registry hack sitting on my desktop that I have to run each time I close Illustrator.
C.

Ok here's the solution to this.
It turns out that Illustrator deletes and resets the .flt file extension key and the Adobe.Illustrator.Filter key every time it is run. Removing registry permissions for system didn't work, neither did removing them for owner/creator.
It seems that the change happens as "me" - the person logged on. As I'm an administrator anyway, I was able to remove all rights for every user (including me) except administrators, and then change the administrator rights to allow everything except set and delete.
So the .flt file extension key is essentially locked down completely now, and the problem is solved. However as the owner of the key I can still get in and change the set/delete flags if I ever need to change it again.
Thanks to Harron for giving me the hint on the right way to pursue this.

Posting Podcast file to user blog entry

Hello,
I have a Apple Xserve (originally running Tiger) that was running a blog for some podcasting training that I was doing with some faculty at our high school. Faculty could subscribe to the podcast/blog in iTunes using the link provided for them automatically on the blog page. This was working fine and would update the podcast subscription for the faculty user as postings were added.
I got my Leopard cd in the mail for the Xserve. The faculty were ready for students (high school seniors) to start working/posting podcasts, the next step for podcasting in our district. I took an afternoon and did the Leopard install in hopes that we might also use the wiki/shared calendar offerings available in Leopard.
I did a standard install for the Leopard server, set up the users and groups, and then starting posting to the newly created user blogs. In the blog for the seniors, I enabled the podcast blog setting. The blog shows a Subscribe in iTunes link which opens iTunes and subscribes the visitor to the podcast. However, it will not load any of the podcast/blog entries into iTunes.
With the help of John Slaughter at Notre Dame, I was able to see that apparently the RSS feed is not parsing the "Subscribe to iTunes" URL correctly. John noticed that "Well, Safari agrees that it's an RSS feed. Not a valid one, but it does load. I wonder what's up with the " <div class="wiki_entry">" in the source code (which gets parsed out to div class="wiki_entry" in the browser.) Are they pasting the Quicktime HTML code into the body of the blog itself or using the upload feature? Because the blog will convert all "<"
On a related note, when posting a new entry to a blog, I cannot use the Podcast upload feature to upload the podcast file. It just hangs. I can add the file to the blog post by using the "Insert images, audio, or Quicktime movies" button in blog entry area.
You can see the blog here
http://podcast.forrest.k12.ms.us/users/nfhsseniors/blog/
I would appreciate any direction/advice on how to 1) get the Podcast upload to work, and 2) get the iTunes subscription to start pulling in the postings. I want to get this available and publicized soon so that our students can show off their work publicly.
Thanks,
Dane

Hi Dane,
I have exactly the same problem. Plus I'm finding it difficult to make progress... Sounds as though we were the same - happily running podcasts under the old system. Upload a file and use RSS Podcast to subscribe. Apparently this was running software called Blojsom.
Apple have changed to their own stuff. It was even difficult for me to find where the old blogs were and to reinstate them - but at least I got them up, trouble is now iTunes won't work because of the RSS feed problem. In fact as the RSS is now so well hidden away it gives me a headache as I had a lot of other things using it - even a mobile phone service linked to the podcast..
Now I can't subscribe or post a podcast up - I get a spinning wheel while it says it's uploading the podcasting material and stops at that. I have all the the right settings switched on to podcast etc, and followed all the other stuff about DNS to the letter.
One of our issues is that we are not using podcast producer (so I found nothing in that discussion group) - which is an automated workflow make-a podcast-as-you-go type thing, we just want to put up a media file (mp4 etc) and have it podcast. Yep it still shows the blog:
http://podcast.ycoastco.ac.uk/users/admin/
but it no longer podcasts or accepts files to be podcast.
I'm sorry that this is no help apart from empathy across the atlantic but I do have a good Apple guy looking at it for me - I'll keep you posted.
kind regards
Mick

Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

Hi, I am trying to launch illustrator after downloading it onto a Mac. I go to apps in finder and click on Adobe Illustrator but there are no files - such as configuration etc. What should I do?

Thanks for responding, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer which is sitting under Devices in my Finder and then installed the Ai app which is appearing under Applications in the finder. I notice that in the launch tutorial there is the Adobe Creative Cloud sitting in the Apps folder above Ai - I don't have this. Hmm what to do?

Illustrator will not open my files! HELP!

Hello,
My Illustrator will not open my files. At first I will launch the program open a file then the timer just spins and spins as if its thinking but nothing ever happens. The menu on the dock says its not responding. If I leave it like that for about 2 hours it will eventually open. But when I work and save again I get the same thing, application is not responding unless I let it sit there for a few hours. I reinstalled the software and nothing seems to be working.
Please help. This is wasting my time and very frustrating.
Thanks;o)

The files I am trying to open are standard CS3 .ai files... I'm not on a networked server. Its just my computer with my licensed software.
I'm creating a website so there is some type and some placed images. But this problem happens even when I start a new file and draw an image with simple illustrator tools. Do you think I have corrupt preferences?

Is there a way to work with AutoCAD files in Illustrator without saving the autoCAD file back to a 2

Is there a way to work with AutoCAD files in Illustrator without saving the autoCAD file back to a 2007 .dxf file format?

Different versions of Illustrator can import different versions of DXF.
Maybe there's a plugin by hotdoor that might enable you to import the latest version of the file format.

Any webspace that provides enough data transfer to cope with your podcasts will do fine. Although check the terms & conditions of whichever webhost you go for, as some may have restrictions on just using their webspace for externally linked files, rather than a website as well.
How much data transfer your podcasts use will depend on how popular they are. MobileMe webhosting allowed 200GB of data transfer per month. If you never went over that, then as long as the new host matches or exceeds that you'll be ok.

Some downloaded podcast files restart in the middle

Hi,
Every so often, an audio podcast file (from any of a bunch of series I subscribe to) that iTunes downloads has the correct duration, but the contents are oddly corrupted: In mid-playback the audio starts over again. Say it's a 15 min. episode - after 5 min. it starts from the beginning, and it's missing the last 5 minutes.
The problem is in the file, so it's either:
1. Corrupt from the source - doubtful, as I've encountered this from various sources, and such a significant problem wouldn't go unnoticed.
2. Occurs during downloading.
Anyone seen this? Is there a solution? How can I delete an episode and redownload it in iTunes to test hypothesis #2?
Thanks much,
L.

I encountered it with a couple of episodes of the History of Rome podcast:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-rome/id261654474
Just had it with episode 9 of "A History of: Hannibal and the Punic Wars":
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/history-hannibal-punic-wars/id557854144
Likewise, 1 or more of the short episodes (under 2 minutes) of Scientific American "60-Second ..." (Space, Health, Science...), for example: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/60-second-science/id189330872
(not sure which of the several series this occured in)
From the files accumulating on my computer it looks like it also happened in episode #408 of Snap Judgement:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/snap-judgment-radio/id283657561
There may have been others. It's been happening sporadically over a good span of time (give or take a year).
Thanks,
L.
