Podcast settings for individual podcasts

Is there any way to specify podcast settings on a per podcast basis instead of having itunes apply the settings globally? For example, I want one of my podcasts to automatically download the most recent episode, but others I want to download the episodes manually. For world news now, I only want to keep the most recent episode, but some others I want to keep 3 or 4... etc. Is there any way to set this up?

I've been trying to figure how to do this as well .... so far the best 'solution' seems to be by using this Applescript:

..which allows the user, through ranking your podcasts, to either retain or "expire" particular podcasts.

View settings for individual sidebar items

Is there a way to save the view settings for individual sidebar items? For example, always have "Documents" open in list view and always have "Applications" open in column view. Finder seems to always use whatever view setting I just used previously for every Finder item (except Photos, which will always display in icon view).

If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2). The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see. It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space. The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto. It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
Cheers.

Is it possible to have different settings for different podcasts?

I know that you can change the setting for podcasts on iTunes - things like how often they're checked for new episodes and whether they're all kept or deleted after listening.
But some podcasts are more timely, like news programs, and I would like to delete those when they get old. Others are "keepers" and I would like to keep them indefinitely. I know I can go back and manually delete individual episodes, but that's kind of a pain.
So is it possible to change the settings for individual podcasts?
Thanks.

Thanks. There is an option for allowing or not allowing auto-delete, which looks like it may be what I want. I'm giving it a try.

Different "Keep" Settings for Multiple Podcasts

Anyone know a way to set the Keep settings for podcast son a case-by-case basis? I know you can set it to something minimal like most recent, last 3, etc. for your whole podcast library and then choose the Do Not Auto Delete option by right-clicking on individual podcasts to keep all the episodes of the selected podasts.
However, I have many podcasts that, for now, I want to keep all episodes; I have one podcast I'd like to set to only keep the most recent; and one podcast I'd like to set to keep the last 10 episodes.
Any workarounds, or AppleScript options that people know of? I checked out Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes, but didn't find anything there. Thanks!

josh,
i came on here looking for the same answer...this is probably the single most lame setting (or lack thereof) in itunes...I love apple and i'm a mac enthusiast who has converted 2 friends in the past 3 months, and i think they've done this for simplicity's sake, but it drives me up a wall to have a universal "keep" setting. The "Do Not Delete" is not enough, i'd love to have different keep settings for my podcasts.

Optimal Settings for Podcast Output

I'm experienced with the editing and output rendering for DVD settings for Encore CS2 and .wmv for our on-demand video hosting server. We have a request for our medical education videos to output for podcast distribution.
Other than the obvious "ideal" presentation tips of keeping any recorded powerpoint fonts and graphics as large as possible, what's the output workflow needed?
Thanks
Gil

We have a 2.4Ghz MBP with the 256 MB video card.
We have 4 GBs of RAM, which you should consider.
However, without indicating what codec and cam you will be using, there isn't much more to say.
If you are working with a DV or HDV camcorder, for example, use an ExpressCard 34 FW or eSATA card and an external HDD for media.
That creates independent FW buses if you go that route or a FW bus and a eSATA HDD connection.

Different sync settings for different podcasts?

Here's a dilemma: From what I can figure so far, if you choose a Sync option (from the Podcast tab for your iPod when it's connected to iTunes), that option will apply to ALL of the podcasts you are sync-ing to your iPod - whether that's one, several, or all your podcasts. Well, what if you want different sync instructions for different podcasts?
For example, is there a way to have iTunes do the following, all at once, on the same iPod:
Sync only the "1 most recent" episode from Podcasts A, B, and C,
...AND...
Sync "all" episodes from Podcast D.
Because, seems to me, to keep all of the episodes of show D on iPod, you have to either have every episode of shows A, B and C loaded (which you don't want), or else have ONLY show D load (with not even the latest episodes from shows A B and C, which you WOULD like to have).
Would this require setting up a Smart Playlist for each show, or am I overlooking some other (obvious?) way of achieving separate sync instructions? Anxious for your insights.

Best Settings For Two Person Podcast?

What are the best Garageband 08 settings for a two person podcast? Should I add a compressor or EQ to the master track, etc? Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Well - for the internal mic I can only say that the quality will be so bad that you don't have to worry about any particular settings. Sit as close to the microphone as possible, you still will hear the internal fan of the Mac.
As for your USB headsets: You will have to create an "aggregate device" to be able to record the two voices to two channels. Try selecting one of the voice presets in GB. You won't want to use a lot of effects like compression or EQing, you'll want your voices to sound as faithful as possible.
In both cases, pay less attention to the after effects and more to getting the best possible recording quality - if your recording is messed up or the level too low etc., it won't get better by applying effects.

Sync settings for podcasts.

Hi. Could someone please tell me the correct sync settings for podcasts. I listen to them on the iPhone and when I sync, instead of deleting they are all marked as unread. Should I sync "all" (assuming that between the iPhone and the iMac, they will sort out has been read), "unread" so that only the unread ones are left untouched, or "new" so the previous ones are left untouched and marked as unread. I sometimes have quite a backlog and it is a drag going through them all to find the ones that I have already heard.
Thanks.

I just deleted on the iPhone some of the ones I had heard. I then did a sync and lo and behold, the episodes were back on the iPhone.
So, I understand this is not a two-way sync. The iMac copies to the iPhone and any intervention on the phone does not seem to make a difference.
My setting in itunes are default setting for all podcasts (keep all unplayed episodes).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Profile Manager Settings for Group does not display for individual members of the group

Hi there,
Can anyone confirm whether I am going mad or not, I and new to Mac Server and have set up Profile Manager on OSX Mavericks from scratch and have been using it successfully to deploy enterprise iPads. I have just gone to edit the profile as we wish to increase the timeout time to locking and have been greeted with something strange.
We have all users in a Group which has settings applied for timeout, pass code change etc. however if I go to an individual account who is part of that group then it isn't showing any settings for that user and it would appear I need to set them again. Similarly if I go to a device belonging to a member of the group then its not showing any settings for that device.
I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same however it appears that you can have a separate payload for a group. Is this the case?
I am grateful for any advice people can give me.
Thanks again.
Rob

I would have assumed that if you set restrictions for a group then when you view the restrictions for a member of the group then it would be the same
That was never the way it worked in older versions of 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 Server.
The restrictions for a Group were shown for a Group. The restrictions for a User (alone) were shown for that User.
And the advantage is that if you see something wrong for a single user, you might be tempted to fix it there, in that user, and when you had changed six of them, you might remember that you meant that to be a group setting after all.
And the software to implement them separately is simpler, but YOU have to test it to find out the end results of compositing Group and User settings.

No custom settings for AAC?

I am unable to change the custom settings when using AAC encoder.
I'm fairly sure that there used to be an option to change the bit rate and VBR under the Custom setting (and the Apple website describes this), but now when I select custom it just shows 256kb and does not give any options for custom settings.
A small thing ... there used to be a little line between Spoken Podcast and Custom. That little line is not there anymore.
There are still custom settings for MP3 and AIFF and WAV.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps. When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage. Any thoughts?

I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists. I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems.
Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening. After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders. Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!". I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad. Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
Thank you

Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone. Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean? I don't recall changing anything...

Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone. Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean? I don't recall changing anything...

The main settings that are changed in these cases can be found in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer.
If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message. If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.

How to change default settings for a video generator?

I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
Thanks.

That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

How to change settings for all users?

Hi All,
In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
Best Regards,
Arti.

Hi Arti,
In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.
