ITunes continues to give me a message that it cannot download my podcast from podomatic -- what am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions exactly and copying and pasting the rss feed.

Help! I've watched two tutorials and it appears that this should be so simple, but iTunes will not download my podcast that I host on podomatic.com. I've copied and pasted the RSS feed. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

The feed itself seems OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes, and the latest episode downloaded OK.
However, on checking the URL of the latest episode's media file in Safari resulted in a download: it should play in the browser. Though forcing a download doesn't seem to upset the iTunes application, the Store doesn't like it since it needs to be able to stream the file to play it in the Store page.
It's also a requirement that the server can handle 'byte range requests' (where only part of the file is requested at a time instead of the whole thing) because this is the method used by iTunes. It was testing for this that showed there was a problem because I got a 'forbidden' error (in other words, because a download is forced it's not possible to request only part of the file).
It must be possible to get this straight on Podomatic since they handle a lot of podcasts, but you will need to take it up with them and check that it's been corrected.
The first test is to paste the media file URL into Safari's address bar and hit return: after a short delay it should play in the browser window. If it downloads you still have a problem.

  • Message "this app is not compatible with this iPad" What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to update my apps and when I touch update all I get the message 'this app is ot compatible with this I-pad.  this has never happened before, what am I doing wrong?

    One or more of the apps you are updating is seeing that you have not yet gone to ios5.  All the iwork app changes, for example, will not upgrade until you do.   What you can do is tick them individually.  If that particular app will update, then it will.  If it won't it will tell you, and you can go back and get them later after you do the ious 5 update.  Last night i decided to update before i started the ios 5 upgrade, and there were 16 apps waiting for up date.  All but 5 did update, but not the i works, and 2 others.
    It takes a little longer to do them 1 at a time, but it is better than staring at the stupid 'not eligable' notice.

  • I'm trying to purchase a movie from the iTune store.  I get a message that said cannot connect to iTune store.  I want to know what I can do to fix this problem?

    I have this problem since Hurricane Sandy hit, I had tried to purchase games and movies from the iTune store and it continues saying cannot connect to iTune store.

    I know nothing about the app. Is it working properly otherwise? Did you try quitting Hooked On Words and the App Store app completely, restart the iPad and then try to purchase the app again?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of both apps that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Did you try deleting the app, reinstall it and then see if you can make the purchase? Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles on the screen and then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button to stop all of the apps from jiggling. Download the app again. See if you can make the purchase then.

  • I recently traveled in Egypt with my iPad. Iam back in the US, but I wanted to download an app, and I get a message that I cannot download from the Australian store, and I need to switch back to the USA how do I do this?

    I recently visited Egypt with my iPad.  I am now back in the USA. I tried to download a new app, and I got a message that I could not download from the Australian store. I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

    Change App Store
    1. Tap "Settings"
    2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
    3. Tap on your Apple ID
    4.Tap "View Apple ID"
    5. Enter your user name and password.
    6. Tap "Country/Region."
    7. Tap "Change Country/Region"
    8. Select the country/region where you are located.
    9. Tap "Done".
    Note: If the change doesn't take effect, sign out of account and sign in again.

  • I have iPhone 4 and am currently using ActiveSync; however the contacts aren't backing up in iTunes, only the ones that I entered directly on my phone?  What am I doing wrong?

    I have iPhone 4 and am using ActiveSync for contacts/calendar.  Problem I'm having is that when I sync in iTunes, only the contacts that I manually enter are being backed up.  I'm concerned about losing my Outlook contacts as well.

    If you're using ActiveSync, the contacts are not local to the phone. They are cached, on the phone, but they exist primarily on the Exchange Server that it's tied to. They do not back up like local contacts do. The same goes for the calendar.

  • I get error messages that Syncing cannot download

    Itunes - slow to load - then freezes as waiting for Sync - error on sync availability.

    Many thanks diesel.  I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates.  Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it.  Eileen

    First off the App Store app cannot be deleted from your phone. The same holds true for all of the default apps. Your kids may have turned on Restrictions in the Settings app that hides the App Store app but, again, it cannot be deleted.
    When you connect a phone to iTunes on your computer I suggest you view the left sidebar in iTunes. If you do not have a left sidebar in iTunes use the View Menu to View Sidebar. When you connect your phone to your computer it will be listed in that left sidebar.
    Select your phone in the left sidebar.
    In the Right window a row of tab will appear. Select Apps.
    Then select the apps you want on your phone. You do not drag apps to your phone.
    After you have selected the apps you want synced to your phone click on Apply or Sync. And let the process complete. The apps you selected will be copied to your phone.

  • My iPad2 does not see the 'purchased' TV shows that I have bought on my Apple TV - what am I doing wrong?

    So,
    I have purchased a series of Top Gear on my Apple TV and want to watch it on my iPad. Since it is all 'in the cloud' I thought that this would be possible. I have read that you can go on the 'purchased' tab on the video app but that only have a film that I bought on itunes some time ago.
    Is it possible to watch the TV shows on my ipad? If so....please help!! Thanks

    Hi,
    Couple of things:
    1. There is no "purchased' tab in the Video app - it's in the iTunes App. Once in the iTunes app / Purchased tab select the TV Series view (top left). You should then see your purchases.
    2. Not sure where you are in the world but I believe previously purchased TV Shows are only avaible for re-download in the USA, Canada, UK & Australia http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085

  • Error 16 message when transferring Photoshop Elements to new Mac. What am I doing wrong?

    I am attempting to transfer my licensed copy of Elements to a new iMac. I've copied all the relevant files/folders from the old Applications folder to the new, and on trying to open the program on the new machine receive an Error 16 message (uninstall/reinstall). The original applications was a download, so I don't have an install disk. I'm obviously missing some files - any suggestions? Many thanks for any help!

    Do as it says - reinstall it properly.

  • Each time that I sign in to Adobe I have to search for my files and my purchased package. What am i doing wrong? Why can't I just sign in and be taken to my package and documents?

    I find the Adobe site to be very unfriendly. I believe that I should be able to sign in and be taken to my purchased package (PDF Converter, Cloud, etc), without having to spend 5 minutes searching the site. I would appreciate any tips as it takes me longer to convert 1 PDF than it does to create the 5 Excel documents that I need to convert.

    Hi lakepretty,
    Are you logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf? That should take you directly to where you need to be. (You could also bookmark that page in your web browser, which would make it even easier to get there!).
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,

  • Can't start itunes because it gives me a message thta MSVCR80.dll is missing in my computer

    I can't start iTunes because it gives me a message that MSVCR80.dll is missing in my computer

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
