Itunes can only find one episode on my RSS feed... help?!

I am having some issues with getting my podcast up and running. My RSS seems to be working and the files seem to be accessible yet only one of my test episodes works. I have been attempting to use garage band to share episodes with iweb with no luck. the only episode that seemed to work was an older audio file that I dropped straight into iweb (skipping the editing process in garage band). I am trying to figure out why only one episode out of several can be found by itunes...
This is my RSS feed address: http://brentviewhub.com/Hub_Ministries/Talks/rss.xml
Here is the link to the Itunes working episode: http://brentviewhub.com/Hub_Ministries/Media/100115_004.mp3
I feel a little frustrated as I am a little code illiterate, any help would be much appreciated!

I've looked at it again: my FireFox will play two of the mp3 episodes, but complains that it need an additional plugin to play the earliest episode, despite the fact that it's also MP3.
iTunes will only download the second to latest episode: it complains that the other cannot be found on the server.
Safari will play all of them.
All except the second episode have spaces in the filename: these are replaced in the feed with the code %20 and normally in this situation it all works OK (it's when the URL in the feed has spaces that it falls over) so though it's a messy looking solution it shouldn't cause a problem.
Though you are using iWeb to create the podcast - which should work perfectly well - you are apparently not using MobileMe but another server. Servers have to be configured to deliver different types of file correctly: so, for example, if you have an M4a file but the server hasn't been set up to deliver it properly, instead of playing in a browser as it should it will be downloaded (which is what happens with an unknown file type).
It can't be as simple as that here, since Safari is not having any problems, but as FireFox and iTunes are it does suggest that the server may be responding incorrectly to certain types of request. That's something you would have to take up with the people running it.
However since, although it might be coincidental, it is the case that the one trouble-free file doesn't have a space in the filename, it would be sensible to get rid of the spaces. To do this you will have to rename the files and drag them anew into iWeb, and then do a complete republish: this will rewrite the feed to match the new file names, but of course all the files will have to be uploaded again. As it's a comparatively easy (if tiresome) step it's obviously worth trying first.

ITunes can only perform one thing at a time

Ever since updating to the latest version of iTunes on my dual core mac mini, iTunes can only perform one task at a time beach balling the entire time. For example if it is downloading a podcast, and I try and watch something off my apple tv via home sharing on this library, it fails to load. Same thing if it is syncing my iPhone.
Importing new media into my library also seems to take much longer than it did before, for instance importing a 700mb movie takes ~20 hours.
What can cause such a degrade in performance?

Back up your drive now. Slow copying may be one sign a drive is about to fail, because it is having to repeat a lot of actions many times.
What does Disk Utility say about the SMART status in get info? Have you verified the hard drive with DU's first aid?

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Organiser in Elements 11 can only find one tag at a time.

Organiser tags will only find one tagged category at a time. E.g Typing "gill" in the find bar will return all photos with Gill in. Likewise Laura returns all photos with Laura in, but type both Gill followed by Laura will only return photos of Gill. I did not have this problem on Elements 10.

Alternatively you can use 'Advanced search'. On clicking 'Find->Using Advanced search', a pane will appear. It lists all your keyword tags, People, Places and Events in your catalog. To get the 'AND' and 'OR' behaviour, click on 'Options' button <shown on Find bar just below the Advanced search panel> and choose show best matches/close matches/non matches.

Andromeda14,
Can you post a screenshot to show the 'Options' button ? I can't see it.
The only way I know to combine .AND. or .NOT. logical operators is to use the menu 'Find', 'by details, metadata'.

ITunes can't find any episodes on my feed.

I recently started my podcast back up under a new host (libsyn), and I followed every step and uploaded two episodes. I go to submit my RSS feed to iTunes and I get the "We had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed" error. I test my feed on feedvalidator.org and get:
Sorry
This feed does not validate.
line 9, column 8: link must be a full and valid URL: [help] <link></link>

I have also tried the "subscribe to podcast" thing in iTunes and all it shows is the name of my show but it can't find any episodes. I don't know what else to do here.
The link to my feed is http://weekendfriends.libsyn.com/rss

To fix the issues with the link - you need to go into your libsyn account in libsyn4
mouse over settings - and then select edit show settings - and make sure to put a full URL in for the website link.
And then per Rogers comments above - you need to removed your wma file and upload an mp3 file.
Here is a link to a full tutorial on using the libsyn UI and getting started.

Chapter 7 covers libsyn UI - but also look at the chapter on creating an MP3 file - chapter 5.

Multiple MIDI takes on the same track - can only find one in the editor?

After making several passes on an instrument track w/drum sampler on it I opened the piano roll editor to edit the data only to find only one of the passes represented there. I could only find the other passes when I moved the current one out of the track temporarily. There must be a better way to do this, can anyone hip me to the right way to edit all the data in the multiple passes at the same time? I can hear all the data, I just can't see all of it.
I'm doing this so I only have to instantiate the Virtual Instrument once in the session, CPU is always at a premium these days. I have done the bulk of my work in recent years in ProTools but I have found Logic Express 8 to be far more efficient with CPU load on my core 2 duo Macbook. I suspect I'm just missing something but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help?

I appreciate your comments but my issue was in editing the already recorded tracks. If you can find in those pages where it shows how to view all the data from the already recorded multiple MIDI tracks at the same time in the piano roll window and be able to edit them I'd be much obliged if you would point those out to me. I double checked your recommendation after reading your first reply, the answer I needed was not there.
Evidently you can only select and view one region at a time no matter how many there are in the same track. I have searched the LE 8 pdf manual and also searched thru an Apple Logic Pro Training series book for version 7 JIC it had some additional insight into this particular issue and came up empty, that's why I was asking for additional insight on this panel. I always go to the documentation first - RTFM is first call for me.
I've already figured the workaround and I'll know better next time to allow Logic to create its own multiple take folders so as far as I'm concerned this case is closed. Thank you again for your input.

Library Transferred But iTunes Can't Find 1/2 of the Tracks! Help!

Okay, I am repeatedly having this problem and I'm tired of spending a whole day (hours & hours) every time it happens. I like to run my iTunes off an external hard drive because the library is so large it would clog up two of my three computers anyway. Only my home desktop has the capacity to hold my music library and I keep a full back-up copy of it loaded on there anyway. My laptop's tiny hard drive wouldn't even be large enough to load my monster library. And I couldn't load it on my office machine if I wanted to. sigh
Anyway, when I have had to transfer my back-up library (I've had two computer crashes which required it sigh) and when I have had to replace my laptop and set it up again... and basically each and every time I set up a computer to recognize the library on the external hard drive, this has happened...
Okay, I do all the full protocol. If restoring a back-up, then obviously I copy over all the iTunes Media folder contents. If just getting the machine to recognize the external hard drive, then I copy the Music library files and I set up the preferences to point to the external drive. No problem. iTunes finds the drive, all my music files etc. pop up with all my playlists. You'd think we'd be in business.
But if you try to play them or sync, a curious thing happens. It will be able to find like 1/2 or 2/3 or whatever of them... but like a gazillion songs and movies it won't be able to find. They're right out there... and they're listed... but it claims it can't find them. If I go to play it... it will ask if I want to go manually locate it. So, I do... then it will say, if I want it to try and find the other missing content based on its location. Sure I do. It tries and sometimes finds some of it. But, invariably, I end up sitting there, every stinking time, and manually finding like 100 or 200 songs or movies. Can you spell T-E-D-I-0-U-S????
Can anyone suggest why it is doing this and how to fix it? Oh yeah... and of course my library is consolidated and I let it manage/organize it... though it really seems to be jumbling and mixing thing up ever since I did ... cuz I notice now that not all my audiobooks are together... I've got stuff in weird grouped files... so I think it is drunk... but if I were to rearrange it... Lord Knows it would probably never find anything again. Grrrrr.

The biggest problem with an exHD is when windows decides to give it a different drive letter without asking/telling you. This can make itunes lose the paths to songs. It's easy to fix but a lot of people don't know to do it: assign a permanent drive letter to the exHD.

Another thing, when you do this
+Okay, I do all the full protocol. If restoring a back-up, then obviously I copy over all the iTunes Media folder contents+
You are only getting part of itunes. There is itunes library content and the itunes library database. The content is all the songs, movies, podcasts, etc.
The database is the play lists, ratings, play counts, etc.
The default for the database is always on the C: drive unless you move it to the exHD and do a shift-start. That is the way mine is set up.

HT201320 I can only find one of the 2 email names on the ipad mail screen

My wife and I both have Aol accounts. we both can get aol mail on the Ipad. The problem is only one of our user names shows up on the mail selection screen

Ok, It appears that my wife's email is entitled AOL and my account shows my AOL user name. I guess what I would like is to rename the word AOL with her actual user name as it does mine.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

When my hard drive died I lost my itunes library and now I'm being told that I can't synch my ipod with new songs unless I delete all existing because I can only have one library at a time

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!

I had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre. Now I can only see one? How can I find the other one?

My kids had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre. Now I can only see one? How can I find the other one?
My daughter set up a game centre on her ipad. My son, on his ipad used the same game centre log in. He then set up his own game of clash of clans. After my son set up his Clash of Clans, my daugher set up her own Clash of Clans using the same game centre log in on her ipad. Both were using the Clash of Clans successfully on their own ipads using the same game centre log in.
One day my son signed into someone elses Clash of Clans, since then he is unable to go back to his Clash of Clans and can only see his sisters.
Please let me know if this can be resolved.
We wish to delete my daughters Clash of Clans - as she does not use it at all. We would like to regain access to my sons.
My son can visit his Clash of Clans - his clan name is 'The Big Boys' He has a shield that is blue with a yellow lightning from top right to bottom left. His name is Fat Poo (I know ridiculous).
If you can help us or advise us what to do we would make my son very happy
thanks

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

TS3510 I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!
