Podcast and genius questions

I have a 2nd gen 32gb touch upgraded to the 3.1.2 firmware.
I downloaded some podcasts from itunes last night, via the touch (not on a computer). It showed the download cue and displayed them all downloading. When I went to view them on my ipod touch, only a few of the podcasts showed up. When I plugged my ipod into my mbp (snow leopard 10.1.6) today, all of the podcasts showed up. I can listen to them on itunes THROUGH my ipod touch (they aren't on my computer). However, I still can't SEE them on my touch. How do I fix this?
Secondly, I have a quick question about the software upgrade. I have the older 2nd gen touch with the 3rd gen firmware. I have apple's new headphones with the built-in mic and remote control. This lets me record stuff with the mic app and also use voip...but I was expecting to have the voice control thing that's advertised as part of the 3rd gen ipod. Does what I paid for not include that? There's also a separate looking genius button and display that is shown with apple's 3rd gen ipod info, but doesn't seem to be part of the upgrade I did. help?
Thanks.

Anna is correct. The 2nd gen doesn't have Voice control.

Are you talking about imessage? If you receive a imessage with a bunch of other number included, best way to reply is to send a new text to the sender, so that way only that person receives the reply and not the whole group.

ITunes/Podcasting and Copyright Questions

I am a student at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and am creating an educational podcast. I wanted to use a song I bought from iTunes recently but want to make sure if it is okay to use. My purpose is not commercial, and I only plan to use roughly 25 seconds of this song. If I cite my source (Artist, iTunes) is this all I need to do, or is there anything else just to be sure I don't infringe on any copyright laws?

You will be breaching copyright if you use this song: your podcast being free, and your only using 25 seconds, doesn't come into it (there have been court cases over brief samples). It's a breach of copyright to use any amount of any copyrighted recording without the written permission of the copyright owner, or a valid podcast licence. Though it's fairly unlikely you would get noticed, it's a risk which could leave you open to legal action for damages - someone was posting on here recently that he'd had a demand for $25,000 for unlicensed use of a song in his podcast (I don't know the outcome).
There is music available you can use - search 'podcast free music' on Google, but as regards this specific song I'm afraid is the strict answer.

Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hi everybody!
First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,

Fresh Install of iTunes and some Questions

I just did a fresh install, set up home sharing, and did an iCloud match so my whole library is in the cloud. I have my library file stored locally but my music files on my NAS. Here are my questions:
1. I want to install iTunes on my wifes computer, set up iTunes match for her, set up shaing. She will have a "shell" setup where notjing is stored as she is sharing with me and accessing the cloud. Do I need to set up that computer under my user id even though she has her own? I figure thats the only way to get her to iTunes match that I have?
2. How do I do this all? Meaning, I will have a local library file for her but I need to point her laptop to the NAS with the files on them. If I change her iTunes media file to that location on the NAS and check keep organized, will it screw up the files I have there? I noticed when I did that on my PC it moved some fles around and I had to reassociate lost files to songs. Took hurs. Would iTunes have done that automatically for me somehow? Should I not check the keep organized for her as she will not be adding music anyhow? What is the harm either way?
3. How do I see my pictures on my ATV unit? I thought I used to be able to but don't see an "app" on the ATV to do so, just photo stream which I do not want to do. I thought I used to be able to access the pictures stored on my NAS? Am I dreaming this or did it go away? My NAS is an iTunes server and I swear I used to be able to access them from my ATV? All I see on my ATV under my library is music, podcasts and movies.
4. I have my NAS sharing (home sharing) and I can see it on my laptop with iTuenes installed. When I click on it I see only music, no movies or anything else, why is that and is it something to do with home sharing? But, like I said I can see thse movies on ATV under my library. I can also see my playlists on the shared on my laptop but nothing is in them. I think that may be becuase they were set up under another library and now that I hve a new library file, they don't carry over? I don't see any of said playlists in the sttandard iTunes interface under playlists, just under the shared however like I said, no files in them. Also, the share comes and goes as in sometimes I see it sometimes I don't however I am always able to access the NAS from iTunes. Strange, may be network issues?
5. Along those same lines, sometimes the home share just up and dissapears from ATV. Maybe a network issue?
6. Lastly, I just did my first backup/sync to my new laptop with the frsh install of iTunes on it. It gave me some sort of message that I can only sync to one computer and do I want to overwrite or whatever? I said no and it did nothing. After that, I did a back-up however it seemed to go fast and I also did a sunc. The sync was three steps, used to be like six and I did not notice any of my new apps being copied to it. Something is wrong here but not sure what to do, ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

#4 - make sure you are sharing out all the items in your itunes library (music, movies, etc)
you should be able to do that under preferences
you may also want to check if it is pointing to the correct library
#1 - home sharing should work on the LAN w/out the need for signing in; the shared libraries should appear under "shared" in the left sidebar of itunes
think this may resolve the issues you have on #2 as well
#2 - itunes doesnt seem like it's built for that, but if you have any experience, i'd like to hear it. this seems why home sharing is the usually the best route to go and just have one instance of itunes managing the library
but as long as the NAS or any media drives are shared out, connecting to it should not be a problem. it's the writing to the itunes library that's the issue. i haven't used Match so can't help there.
depending on your OS, you can either ctrl-click or option-click on the itunes icon,
which will also give you the option of selecting a library location upon launching itunes
you can navigate to the location of the library file and point it to that.
technically, you could do that but i believe the actual library has to be stored locally
as long as you still have all the media, then you can just rebuild the library
but for locally shared items, as in, all inside the home, i would leave icloud out of the equation
just use itunes sharing and it should be fine

Each time I try to watch my itunes U podcast and try to skip forward my itunes freezes and gives me an error report and shuts off, this happens also when I try to convert it to my iPod. How can I fix this problem to be able to use the iTunes U?

Hello, bisco,
This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.

IWeb and iTunes question.....

I'm using iWeb to publish my podcast and have submitted it to iTunes and it has been added to the directory, however, the artwork is incorrect at iTunes. How can I fix this?
I've used all the podcast elements in iWeb and have artwork for the podcast, however, iTunes is using a background image from my website as the artwork to display.

Eric... there is no fix for this yet. Many people are having the same issue. I've searched the discussion board, talked to the genius bar, apple care, itunes support, iweb support, and .mac support. I've tried rewriting my rss.xml file and loading it to idisk and syncing, I've also tried deleting the original podcasting page after copying and pasting all of the text, graphics, audio and video to a new page and resubmitting it to iTunes. I've also had itunes delete the feed and resubmit it.
None of this works. Some of us have artwork, some of us don't. Itunes is aware and is working on it.
Sorry man, wish I had better news.

Music Store not updating podcasts, and what's with relevance?

First off, I'm frustrated as all ****. I went to the iTunes Store support site and apparently you can only get help on issues they allow. . . there's not a readily apparent help email or phone number, and none of their chosen topics answer my questions. . .as if no one could EVER have an issue outside of those few they choose. Very closed-minded.
Okay, rant over.
Now, I've updated a second episode of my podcast, and iTunes will even download it in my podcast subsription library, but when I click on my 'cast in the iTMS, it's only showing the first episode in the list below. Is this possibly an XML issue, or is the store that slow?
my xml file is at:
http://www.dc-kingdom.com/STC/stc.xml
Also, the relevance is very odd. They have me listed at a pretty low relevance for the very subject my podcast is completely dedicated to. How is relevance determined, and can it change?

Never mind: The next time I opened iTunes, I was prompted for the Air America login just like I expected. That doesn't explain why it didn't work the other night, so I guess my question wasn't really answered... but apparently my problem is solved anyway.

Download and playback of video podcasts and vodcasts

Hi Folks,
I have looked at the Classic features manual, looking for info on downloading *video podcasts* and Vodcasts into itunes, and playing them in ipod Classic. I couldn't get from the manual what I needed to understand the video issue . Does anyone have any advice, anything that I should know, or do, before downloading and playing these two types of video? I have read bits here and there about having to chang format of videos for successful download to itunes and playback on Classic. I am not techy enough to understand. (Just as info, I downloaded "Best of YouTube." It promptly locked itunes forever. I couldn't even uninstall itunes and reinstall. I had to create another User on my computer, in order to get itunes again.)
Questions:
1) Do I have to do some sort of conversion to download and play *video podcasts* and Vodcasts?
2) Are *video podcasts* different from Vodcasts? Or are they the same format--just named differently? Is there anything that I need to do differently in the download process and playback of these two types of video? (FYI--The Bill Moyers show on PBS is where I was confronted with the *Vodcast.
Thank you
Randy

you don't need additional tools to load the podcast or video podcast to your ipod, excepting an ipod manager like itunes, floola or juice.
Just provide the feed into the ipod manager that you use and you are done. Probably the simplest option is to go with itunes. You need an internet connection though.

EDIT: Well, Juice is not really an ipod manager, but a podcast manager/receiver

Prevent automatic downloading of podcasts and purchased episodes

I'm trying to help a Mac owner configure her iTunes so that it doesn't automatically try to download her podcasts and purchased TV episodes. We're running very tight on a bandwidth quota and would like to download these things manually if possible. I know how to do this in iTunes for Windows, but she can't seem to find the same settings in the Mac version. Thoughts or help?
Thanks all.

IPhone 4: When playing a podcast and I exit it closes ipod.

Question: When I'm listening to my iPod podcast and I go to my mail (for example) it closes or pauses my iPod podcast. Is it suppose to do that? I thought it was suppose to run just like Pandora in the background?!

Do you play 'Video' podcast?
If you are playing a video, it suspends as you close the ipod app.
This happens even in music with video such as video clip.

My 1G Touch has suddenly stopped downloading (by wifi) -some- podcasts and even -some- free songs from iTunes.

My 1G Touch has suddenly stopped downloading (by wifi) -some- podcasts and even -some- free songs from iTunes. The download page comes up but where there used to be a 'free' button there is nothing. I've done a full restore and problem persists.
No answer on first visit to Genius Bar. Did the suggested full wipe with no sucess so I'm heading back with my laptop in hand to challenge them to find a solution.
Can you solve this puzzler?

Podcasts And Streamed Podcasts

Has anyone else experienced this?
I have the Apple TV (obviously), and have it synced to my iMac, and have it set to stream from my wife's MAC mini.
When I am watching a Podcast, and, it plays all the way through, I have it set to automatically delete. sometimes (not all of the time), as soon as the Podcast deletes, it automatically jumps to my wife's streamed podcasts. I then have to go to "podcasts>my podcasts" to see my list again. It is as if I hit the "Shared Podcasts" button to see hers. But, it happens as soon as it deletes one of mine (hope I am explaining this clearly enough)
This happened about 2 or 3 times so far since the new update.
Anyone else seeing this?

Thank you for your response Winston.
To answer your question I did another factory reset, update and re-sync followed by some more testing.
Today I got these results with an almost-2 hour podcast synced to the device:
15min: 5 seconds
30min: 11 seconds
60min: 22 seconds
90min: 32 seconds
115min: 41 seconds
So, it looks like I overstated the delay but these are still significant, especially when you are trying to skip forward or find a place in the podcast.
As it happens, this time when I changed the device into streaming mode there were no delays. This isn't very convenient as the computer needs to be running the whole time but it's better than the alternative.
I'd still like to use the device synced so if anyone has further ideas or comments they would be appreciated.

Podcast and MySpace?

Hi.
I've created one podcast so far, very simply made with garage band. its like a minute long. very simple. then i posted it with my free .mac trial account. i enjoy the ease of it. simply with one click its posted on my personal site.
well... it is just a trial and my question is if i can create a podcast with the assist of my Myspace? how would i go about it? is it still as simple?
Also...once this podcast is on my site and people can easily subscribe to it from the site, how can people find it on itunes? would they type in the url or what?
thanks.

I think myspace requires mp3s, so you'd dump the podcast track, "Share to iTunes" and then use iTunes to convert the AIFF file to an mp3.
