ITunes previews too short

I've noticed recently that song previews are only 30 seconds long on the iTunes app on my iPod touch (3rd gen). They've been 90 seconds for more than a year now, and suddenly they're back to 30. Is this standard now? Has anyone else experienced this?
The weird thing is that on my friend's iPod, the previews are short as well, but on his iPad and on PC iTunes, they're the usual 90 seconds. What gives?

I agree. I use Napster on the PC side for pretty much the same reason but I cannnot find a good service (allows 100% preview and "all you can eat" subscription service) that works in MAC. Have looked at Napster, which is very good for PC, looked at Rhapsody which is PC only and so no point to it for me and of course i-tunes. My personal take on it is that Napster has the best busines model and is good for the PC folks, i-tunes is VERY good on technology in both worlds but I personally don't care for the business model.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a music service that has a good business model (other than i-tunes), and works in both worlds?

How do I change the "by" field in the iTunes Preview page for my podcast?

The name of the podcast has changed, but it now looks like this on the iTunes preview page:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/[new name]-podcast/[numbers]
iTunes Preview
[new name] podcast
By [old name]
I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the "by" part. The other information changed automatically after I updated it in the host, libsyn.

Thanks a lot. There doesn't seem to be a way to change it in Libsyn so I thought it might have been an iTunes thing. They were very helpful when I asked them to change the slug for me earlier. I'll ask them about this too. Here's what Libsyn allows me to change:
Edit: Found it in the Lybsin knowledge database.

RSS Feed: Setting the Feed Author
Posted by Krystal O. on 16 November 2011 02:05 PM
One of the most common questions received by our support team is how to change the author in iTunes to show as them instead of "unknown". This is done by updating the author tag in your RSS feed.
Start by logging into your Dashboard and clicking on Destinations.
A new screen will appear with a list of your Destinations along the left hand side. Click on your RSS feed.
On this page is a text box specifically for Author, enter your Author as you would like it to appear in iTunes. You will also see the ability to input a name and an e-mail address, note that the name and e-mail address are used by iTunes should they need to contact you regarding your Podcast and are not publicized in the store.
?Once you have entered the information you want, just your changes. iTunes should update within a few days.

JPEG market segment length is too short

In copying a series of folders containing JPEGs, PSDs and RAW files (Canon .CR2 and Hasselblad .3F) to a new external drive (Mac OSX), there was a hiccup and a large number of the copied image files contain red dots next to them in the finder window. The files are named correctly and contain the full data size of the originals, but when attempting to open a JPEG I get the following error message:
Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete).
When attempting to open a .PSD file the message is:
Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document.
When attempting to open the RAW file in Bridge, the message is:
Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
In the Get Info window, all three file types are correctly identified as Adobe Photoshop files, Adobe Photoshop JPEG files and Camera RAW files, and each is the correct size it should be.
This happened to some, but not all of the files on the drive, and it appears to have happened randomly. I have run Data Rescue on the drive, but the rescued file still have the red dots and do not open. I've also tried other file recovery programs, as well as Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery and Jpeg Repair utilities, all to no avail.
I've tried renaming the files, and opening them from other programs such as preview, iPhoto and Lightroom. Still no luck.
I'm hoping someone has another angle for me. The data is there; it's obvious something happened that is preventing the files from opening, but it seems there should be some fix for this.
TIA

Your opening statement said you were copying, not moving the files.
If you were Moving the files, then the routine that was doing the moving erases behind unless they are coming from a CDROM or a write protected device..
Those files are essentially corrupted or incompatible with CC.
Did those files open okay where ever they lived before they were moved?
What was the "hiccup" that you mentioned? A Power Hiccup ? Then these files are toast if indeed there were in the middle of a Move..
Were you using Finder to do this task?

Compressor is exporting clips that are too short in duration

Hi,
I am sending clips via FCP 7 into Compressor 3.5.
The problem is that the outputted clips are too short in duration.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I need to fix it quick!
Thanks,
Phil.

Hi, welcome to the forums.
It might be possible that you have set an IN and/or OUT point somewhere.
Double check and make sure that in FCP or Compressor Preview window you
do not have IN/OUT set on a selection of clips.

HT4623 I tried to update my iPad to latest ios and it is now asking me for a password...4 digits. I never had a password on it and it is too short to be my apple password. Help anyone? It keeps locking me out as I try different passwords.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

After upgrading to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, etc.

After Upgrade to iOS 8 the iPhone 5c start freezing, battery life is too short, and to open an app it as to restart the phone.
How to downgrade to iOS 7.
Thanks,
<Re-Titled By Host>

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device without using any backup would be the next step:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Apple Mini DVI to DVI Adapter - Too short?

I want to connect my iMac 2.8 ghz, 24" screen to an external Philips 190B LCD monitor and use the Extended Desktop function.
The Philips Monitor model is the 190B6CG/00 and it is a single link monitor (Philips tell me it is DVI-D Receptacle Connector 24 pin = single link).
I'm looking at the Apple Mini DVI to DVI adapter here on the Apple Store. It looks like it should plug into my iMac one end then the other end into my Philips. However it looks like it is too short to reach my Philips Monitor. They are not a fantastic distance apart. In fact they are sat side by side - but I somehow can't see the Apple Adapter being long enough (unless it crosses a 3-sphere).
Presumably then, some sort of extension is required between the DVI end of the Apple adapter and the Philips Monitor's DVI input.
Does anyone know what this extension could be and where is may be purchased?
Regards

Hello to everyone who has replied to my cry for help.
Thank you all. I will apply points to everyone who has responded (so quickly too).
Scorpie
I totally agree. I have been thinking along these lines too. However, searching on the internet whilst researching, I found it difficult to decide what I needed because of the 'photos' supplied. They were ok as such but most didn't show very well the pin outs. Further research into the matter (and one website in particular - i.e. Maplin) made me realise that GENDER was involved. Also, with DVI, females look like males in web photos until you find a photo from the right angle. Same goes for VGA I reckon.
I'm certain most people looking at DVI (and VGA) cable/connectors can't tell the difference when the devices are only viewed from 'above' . In my opinion they need to be viewed more or less end-on to show where they have pins or holes. I mean full end-on, not at an angle where (as I found above) detail as to pin or hole is lost in digital or compression noise. This is what I have experienced in all but one of the web sites I have visited. Another thing, most websites have an 'enlarged version' button which, if selected, shows the same photo exactly the same size. No help whatsoever. But then there's no doubt you must already be well aware of this.
MyHighway
You are correct. The Philips did come with a VGA cable. However I want to connect to my iMac digitally (if I can) using DVI (it looks like a 'female' connector on inspection of the back of the Monitor). I have found it almost impossible to tell the difference from most photos on the web even with my new huge screen iMac. One of the reasons I'm am a little nonplussed I think.
mrtotes
Good point. If I take a photo of the back of my Philips and take the Apple connector down to Maplin perhaps I can compare and contrast with real specimens. Yo!!
I think I will give that a go.
You have all been very helpful indeed. Opened my eyes somewhat.
I wish a Merry Christmas to all my new Mac friends

How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser? So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'. Is that really the only way? The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I should have been more specific. I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome. While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.

DVI to VGA adapter. Too short?

Hello.
Please do not blame me for being ignorant, I recently had to do a project and in order to connect to the screen, I need to use a DVI to VGA adapter, which is provided when I bought my MBP.
But then, isnt it too short? How do I connect it then? Must I buy a extension? Do help me as my project is due next friday and I must present next friday. Thank you.

Allan Jones wrote:
The sequence would be:
Mac > Adaptor > VGA cable > Monitor or projector
Right - except when actually hooking them up, they should be connected in the reverse of that sequence; the projector should be on and seeking an input, the cable and adapter should be connected, and the final step is to connect the adapter to the MBP.

DVI to VGA adapter Isn't it too short

I bought a MB Pro and I wanted to use the DVI to VGA adapter but it's too short, is there a longer one or is this it?

Maybe http://www.microcenter.com/singleproduct_results.phtml?productid=0201448 if you need a male-to-female. In other words, that product should work if the port on the TV has pins sticking out. If it has holes that pins should be stuck into, then http://www.microcenter.com/singleproduct_results.phtml?productid=0201735 is a male-to-male. Make sure you double check the photos against your adapter and your TV before you buy. Also try your local electronics or computer store.

Itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone

itunes takes too much time to open and don´t recogneize my iphone
I´ve alredy unistall and re install and didn´t work

5-10 minutes is normal for me when opening iTunes. But then my library is stored on network drive which slows everything down.
There has been many posts about problems with RAID and iTunes. Don't know if any of those relate.

HT1920 I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none

I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

Error "602" System error: AK Datapart too short

Hi all,
Ok, I have looked just about everywhere for an answer to this but to no avail...I even tried under a few rocks we have laying around.
Anyway here it is:
While running a compression in BW we get Error "602" System error: AK Datapart too short.
This is happening while doing a select statement during the compression of the infocube. It does not happen all the time, just kind like when ever it feels like. The only note I could find in OSS was one about Live Cache and it does not seem to apply.
Here is the dump which I really hate doing this, but it gives all the info needed :
untime Error          DBIF_DSQL2_SQL_ERROR
Except.                CX_SY_NATIVE_SQL_ERROR

An SQL error occurred when executing Native SQL.
What happened?
Error "-602" occurred in the current database connection "DEFAULT".
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.

Updating the ipod with itunes takes too much time

i have like 3000 songs in my itunes library ,but when i change some track's names o change anything of my songs in a diferent way like putting their names in capital letters or changing their artworks..etc ,itunes takes too much time updating the changes to my ipod................. why?
ipodvideo Windows XP

Generally the iPod update is pretty quick unless you are making many hundreds of changes at a time. It could be the USB port is slow, try it in another port, preferably on the back of the PC, some computers have underpowered ports on the front panel. Also the recommended system requirements are for USB 2, it will work from a USB 1 port but much slower if that's the type of port you have.
