IWeb leaves title field blank in podcast rss.xml

For some reason iWeb is not filling in the <title> field of my podcast's RSS feed which means that when I try to submit it to iTunes it is rejected for not having a title.
Is there a way to make iWeb add in the title to the feed after the podcast page has already been created? There are lots of entries already and I really don't want to have to go back and make a new page and re-enter them all from the beginning.
This is being published to .Mac via iWeb and I have my own domain that I've set up and am using.
Thanks.

Hi JJ,
I created my podcast successfully using iWeb (v. 1.1.2) and the title name was not an issue. When creating your page, i am guessing you used the podcast template??
If so, when inputting your own personal info, did you delete the text in the boxes and replace with yours, or did you delete the actual text boxes and create new ones?? I did find when publishing that if i created a new box, it would not work in the same way as the default boxes did. I think the default boxes are referenced in some way. Perhaps this is the issue??
Alternatively, you can locate the XML/RSS file related to your site (if you published to iWeb using a dotmac account it will be easy to find) and just input the title yourself by inputting *<title>YOUR TITLE</title>* below the <channel> tag.

iPhone contacts, Country field, keeps Syncmyride Navigation from giving directions. Is there a way to leave Country field blank? Thanks for any help. Jww

Syncmyride. That's what's having the problem. If it were handing the data properly, it wouldn't be a problem. You should not have to remove data from your contacts in order for an app that is accessing the contact data to work correctly. This is a bug in syncmyride. It has nothing to do with iCloud or anything else that Apple controls.

Numbers leaving data fields blank

I just started using Numbers for iCloud today and spent several hours putting together a budget spreadsheet in Firefox. When I went to sum up the numerical column, I noticed the sum was totally off. So I tried opening the same doc up in Safari, and noticed that most of my data did not appear. Is this an issue with Numbers being incompatible with Firefox?

IWeb 08 Podcast/RSS problems

Yup, iWeb has shot my podcast...
I will post discoveries here as I learn them. Will be grateful for any help, of course!!!
Still coming to grips with new file names/locations. First thing is iWeb seems to be dealing with spaces differently now. Previously it did the old %20 thing in my podcast - Popology Podcast read Popology%20Podcast. Now, it's replaced that with an underscore - Popology_Podcast. However, it doesn't seem to have occured to the code monkeys to tell whatever generates the rss.xml file that! A manual edit of the rss.xml file doesn't help either.
I'm using feedburner, so I've changed it there, and it's starting to kick into gear, though it isn't seeing the podcast images...
More to come as I discover it.
Again - please - any advice most appreciated - and if I've gotten anything wrong so far, please put me straight! I'm just a Joe-Bloggs, not a super-web-guy...

My podcast's address, as seen in iTunes music store is:
http://rss.mac.com/popology/iWeb/Popology/Popology%20Podcast/rss.xml
But according to iWeb's new way of dealing with spaces, this should now have an underscore instead of a %20.
http://rss.mac.com/popology/iWeb/Popology/Popology_Podcast/rss.xml
I've tried avoiding the problem by entering my feedburner address into the rss.xml file...
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/popology</itunes:new-feed-url>
But that didn't work. I've pinged my podcast, and when I search for it in the music store, delete and resubscribe, it still doesn't pick up that it should go to the feedburner feed.
QUESTION: Am I editing the wrong file - rss.xml - in my podcast directory? This seems to be a new location - till I upgraded, the RSS files were in a seperate folder (up a few levels on my idisk) altogether, but there's nothing there now...?
I'm considering trying to remove the space in the original iWeb design on my comp and reuploading... 128k upstream... hmm - that will take a while...

Is it possible to set up a Paragraph Style leaving the Font Style field blank?

We often have to import text into InDesign from Word docs. We place the docs (Command-D, rather than copying and pasting) in order to preserve italics, bold text, etc. As it is now, we have to select all the text and set each element separately - leaving the Font Style field blank - in the Character Palette.
It would save a lot of time, if we could set up a Paragraph Style without specifying the Font Style, (leaving it blank), which overrides the formatting we are trying to preserve. Is this possible?

The answer is "kind of". You can create the Paragraph Style you want to apply and select the paragraphs you want to apply it to - then right-click on the Paragraph Style and choose 'Apply "Body". Clear Character Styles.'
It is possible to do this as a Character Style if you click outside of a text area and create a new style. I do it all of the time as I import lots of Word documents to write to ePub (you have to define all of the styles to ensure the document looks right). Since the documents come in with small caps, bold, italics, different font sizes but the same font throughout.
So I have a style based on None with blank Font Size and Font Style which I apply to the whole document. If there is anything in these boxes you can just erase it by backspacing over the text.

Title field clearing / going blank on updates to Office 2010+ documents

Hi guys. I am having a problem where the Title property on a document (or more specifically any docx or xlsx document) using a certain content type is being made blank when a user edits the document. There are no event receivers and no workflows running
on the document. Here are the steps that recreate it for any document that uses my custom content type:
1) Upload a docx file into a library, populating the title field.
2) Check in.
3) Go to edit the item - in this case force check-out is in place so it checks out the document.
4) Change another property. Hit save.
5) The title field is now blank!
This only does it on my content type (or any that inherit from it), but I've tested it on 3 different servers with varying degrees of updates and it's the same result every time. There is nothing special about the content type (it inherits from Document)
and just has a few extra fields in it. I have not included the contents of the elements file used to define it for brevity but happy to provide if needed. Any ideas are welcome.
Many thanks,
Mike

That seems like it's defeating the purpose. First, we're on an Exchange server that is on our domain. Second, I'm trying to eliminate end-user input, this method would increase end-user input. Also, our Exchange server is 2003, from what
I'm reading here the autodiscover service wasn't added until Exchange 2007.

When playing FarmVille I continually get a window poping open that is title "about blank" it then closes and pops open again, preventing me from doing anything on Farmville how can I stop this?

when trying to play FarmVille with Firefox on my laptop, a window continually pops open with the title "about blank" then it closes, and pops open again right away. Because of this I can not manage to do anything on the FarmVille screen. This does NOT happen on my desktop machine. Both are running Windows 7 64 bit. How can I prevent the window from poping up all the time? Something is continually sending a request, but I do not know what it is. Thank you for any help or suggestions. By the way, Google Chrome works perfectly, but I prefer Firefox.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I get iWeb to regenerate my rss.xml file

I use Leopard/ iWeb to create a podcast. When published to the web, the podcast consists of two pages - a home page and an archive page. The home page contains the last 5 or so postings, and the archive page contains all the other postings. Both the home page and the archive page have "Subscribe" icons/links enabling folks to subscribe to my podcast (both icons/links point to same address). So far, all pretty standard stuff.
The focus of my problem is subscribe icon/link, or more accurately, the rss.xml file that it links to. In the past, the rss.xml feed would contain all my postings in the correct date order. Then I entered some new entries retrospectively (i.e. with dates a long time in the past) however they appear in the wrong place in the RSS feed. How can I force the RSS feed to show entries in correct date order?

Hi,
I've asked for this post to be moved to the [iLife > iWeb Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=188] for you as that is where you are more likely to get an answer.

User Profile Synchronization not displaying Title field correctly

Hello,
I've an issue with User Profile Synchronization (SP 2010). The Title field is displaying correctly for most of the users but still there are few user for them the Title field is blank. However in "User Information List" it displays the Title field
properly for those users. But in Central Administration when I check the User Profiles it's blank.I have already run Full Profile Synchronization few times in Central Administrations. Every time it's shows as successful but still no luck, still the Title field
is blank for some profiles.
Can anybody help on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Firstly , I need to verify the followings:
Whether the title field of user information list is changed if you type a value in user profile page and perform full sync.
Whether you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010.
If you have upgraded to SharePoint 2010, you need to make sure the user information list is mapped or connected to AD directly. More information, please refer to the post below:

If this issue still exists, please create a new User Profile Services Application, and compare the result.

Error when trying to submit podcast RSS feed.

I was just trying to publish my podcast and submit the rss feed to itunes. To do this i simply went to file>submit podcast to itunes. I did this using iWeb, but for some reason every time I do this it gives me an error message. I cant figure out what im doing wrong, I thought iWeb was supposed to make a working RSS feed automatically. Also, after hitting publish to .Mac, I went to .mac and clicked my site, but the site is not at all updated, instead it is the old site. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

If you did a "Publish All to .Mac" and remembered to empty your browser cache, it would seem that you are not connected to .Mac.
This would also explain your failure to upload the RSS feed.
However, I notice that somebody else is having this problem...

Add an auto incremental value to TITLE field.

Hi, i am currently working on a custom list in SharePoint 2010 and there is a title field. I would like to append an auto incremental variable to "Request" to make it look like:
Request 1
Request 2
Request 3
and so on...
As you can see below, i tried to use the calculated value Request+ID, but it didn't work out. So is there anyway to solve this problem?
<input name="ctl00$m$g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82$ctl00$ctl05$ctl00$ctl00$ctl00$ctl04$ctl00$ctl00$TextField"
type="text" value="[Request-]&[ID]"
maxlength="50" id="ctl00_m_g_0bb0fcf5_65ea_4af9_ba76_7c0babad1a82_ctl00_ctl05_ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ctl04_ctl00_ctl00_TextField"
title="Title" class="ms-long ms-spellcheck-true" /><br />

Hi andylow,
You can also accomplish this without using a workflow but with a custom form on your list. To do this take the following steps:
Make sure that the title field of your list is not a required value
When you're in the list, click on the List tab in the ribbon
There select "Customize Form"
Your form will now open in InfoPath. In the right hand menu you will see all your data fields.
Make the Title number field "Read Only". To do this right click the field, select properties, click on the second tab and select Read Only
In the menu bar, click on Manage Rules
Now click the Data tab in the menu and select Sumit Options
In the menu that opens select the option to run rules before submit
Now there will be a button available in the menu for Submit Options, click on that
Now you can add rules and actions on the submit action
Create a new Action rule and call it Initial Save
As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be blank
The first action of the rule will be to Submit the form. When the form is submitted it will be assigned an ID, before that will be blank
Now add an Action to set a fields value.
Select the Title field as the field to set
You can set a hard coded value for the value to set but you can also click the function button, click on that
Now another window opens where you can add fields, functions etc.
Now first select the concat function from the function menu
Then double click the first link in the resulting function and type Request
Now double click the second link and select the ID field
Now get rid of the last remaining arguments in the concat function
Click OK until you're back in InfoPath
Now set one more action to submit the form again
Now ad a second rule and call that Edit
As condition for the rule, set the condition that the Title field must be not blank
Add the Submit Form action for this rule
Now you can publish your form with the Quick Publish button. This is a Blue circle with a white upward arrow and a lightning bolt next to the save button in the top menu bar.
Now when you add a new item and save it, the title will be set to Request&ID. When you edit the form no changes will be made.
Cheers,
Eduard Spelier
