IWeb produces RSS feed that produces iTunes error message -5002

I am publishing my second podcast using iWeb and my .Mac account. However when I publish and submit the podcast to iTunes, after asking for my login iTunes gives me an error message saying that there is a problem with the iTunes store (error-5002) and that I should try again later. Of course trying again later has not worked. When I contacted Apple support via email they indicated that I should change the RSS feed's title and link which I have no idea how to do in iWeb. I did change the RSS feed url by changing the name of the pages in iWeb, but this produced no change in the error message.
I am otherwise able to use iTunes and able to publish to .Mac. I am also otherwise able to go to my site and hit the subscribe button which makes it appear in iTunes (at least using Firefox - in Safari it stalls). Any ideas would be great!
FYI- My feed is: itpc://rss.mac.com/nefserrano/iWeb/iPsycPodcast/VideoPage/rss.xml

I believe Apple has officially assumed responsibility for this problem. See: http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=383.
In the meanwhile I'm keeping this post active until it is solved. At least we have some sense that Apple is working on it.

Confused rss feed that starts with http?

I'm trying out blubrry.com (free service for podcasts like mine with no advertising) as a way to collect stats on how many downloads happen for my podcast. This was recommended by another visitor in this forum. I use mobile me from apple to store my podcasts, and they don't have a way to track these stats. (Wish now I'd gotten libsync working - I think they have this)
My podcast (in the iTunes store) is "Unpolished Performances" and the rss feed, as I understand it is,
feed://web.me.com/simpleromantic/Simple_Romantic/Podcast/rss.xml
Blubbry wants me to add the podcast to their site as well.
I signed up as a member with Blubbry then I went to add my program to their site using this link
http://www.blubrry.com/addpodcast.php
When I get to the part where I want to add my rss feed, I pasted in the url
feed://web.me.com/simpleromantic/Simple_Romantic/Podcast/rss.xml
I get an error message back, saying that a feed url starts with 'http://'. I tried simply replacing 'feed:' with 'http:' but I continue to get an error messge.saying "Please enter a valid feed url"
Any ideas?
Thanks
Laurel

I'm so glad you told me I was trying the right url. I went back and tried again and it took!
Gee, I wonder what I was really typing before?
Well, until somebody else told me that was valid, I guess my fingers were just not believing!
As always, you know it all.
(Well at least I know a little more than before.While you were answering my question I was writing an answer to YouthLeaderDon - we'll see if that gets him anywhere)

RSS Feeds that worked prior to SP2, now do not work

I am working with SharePoint 2010 Enterprise edition. We have several wiki pages with RSS feeds that have been working well for a while. Once we added the SP2 patch, the RSS feeds no longer work unless the page is checked out.
Once checked out, you can set them up, see the feed and all is good, until the page is checked in again.
I tried removing the RSS feed and recreating it and have the same issue, works fine until the page is checked in.
Could someone help direct me to a solution? I looked through many forums on RSS feed errors and haven't seen anything helpful. Thanks!

Hi staci,
It was a known issue from 2013 February CU and it had been fixed in 2013 June CU, however you can also install 2013 August CU for your SharePoint 2010 per the following article, this issue disappers without any side affects, you
can take a look.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Iweb 1.1.2 won't open, error message, index.xml file is missing

i am using version 1.1.2
i opened iweb and made a very very minor correction.
i went into 'inspector' and saw that 'make all links inactive'
was checked so i unchecked. i published and when i opened it again
it was checked. so i made an extremely minor change on one of my pages....
changed the angle of a drop shadow 1 degree....then published again.
now iweb will not open. i get an error message that says
'index.xml file is missing. none of my copies of the domain file will
open. none. including old copies that i copied to a disc. all domain files
whether on the hd or exterior drives get the same error message.
i'm guessing that some how that file got corrupted.
how do i install iweb again and if so how do i retrieve all my work?

I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to? If so then do it. Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

iTunes Error Message 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50). How do I correct this error?

I know this doesn't help you Bud, but I've had this issue for at least the last couple of versions. If I can ask, what is you enviornment like? Local PC only, libray saved on another PC/Server?
In my case my library is on Windows 2003 server with the share mapped to drive M: This has worked for many years through both XP and Windows 7 until and update a while ago.
Thanks,
Rob

ITunes error message: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use." What do I do?

I recently started receiving the following iTunes error message when I attempt to update the software on my iPad or iPhone: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use."
Any ideas what I need to do? The software won't update on my iPad, and I need to update through iTunes, as my iPad does not have enough free space to use the OTA service.

You need to free up space on your boot drive.
(I am going to ask the mods move this to the MacBook Pro forum.)

Itunes error message 2

When opening itunes, error message 2 pops up, stating Apple Application support is required. It tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Should I do this and will I loose my library?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

IWeb-created RSS Feed - How to Modify keywords?

I have a podcast with 2 episodes that have been approved by iTunes, but they are still not showing up in a Search. I keep reading about people entering keywords into their RSS feed to help .... but how do I do that? Remember I'm using iWeb. Thanks.

Hi -- I use iWeb too and had a lot of problems trying to let it generate my rss file. Finally I downloaded the program Podcast Maker and that works just beautifully. The latest version even tracks uploads of your audio files for you. The one problem is that you need to ensure that you upload the rss file to the proper folder on your server (it's in prefs but does not default to where you might think). Good luck!

IWeb empty RSS Feed?

Hi there, i am on the most current Version of iWeb, now i realized that my Blog RSS Feed is always empty, i click subscribe and Safari says there are no items, checked the XML File abd it is empty, my Blog has already 10+ Entries, but none of them are visible in the Feed, anyone an idea?
I publish to MobleMe with iWeb...

And again, I suggest that everyone report the bug via the Safari "Report Bug to Apple..." selection under the Safari menu.
Pastor: Tech Support does not code the interoperability between say iWeb 09 and Safari, or iWeb 09 and internet browsers. IWeb's issue is probably a bug in their code. Tech Support can only guide you through 'user error' issues, or workarounds within user accessible software and hardware.
Since this issue is more global; i.e. everyone's site was working one day and then not the next, it is a coding or server side (how the code is executed) problem.
NOTE: the "Report Bug to Apple..." selection under the Safari menu DOES NOT SAY: "... Safari Bug ...". I predict that if enough "Report ..." via the Safari menu, Apple's software people will start talking to each other and resolve their interoperability issue between iWeb and internet browsers (Safari).
Calling Tech Support is only going to get someone who will work through a troubleshooting script. If the troubleshooting documentation they have doesn't cover interoperability between the web development software and the internet browsers, then everybody is stuck until someone dares to report it as a bug. When Apple's other programs get a bug reporting feature directly, I'll be happy to utilize that feature, but until then Safari's Reporting link allows you to send both a screenshot and the web page code so that someone on the coding side of things can see that this needs a fix.
Thanks Bobby!
