Hey.. got this back to another email I had sent itunes support about artwork...
looks like it's getting fixed.
Dear Jim,
Thank you for contacting the iTunes Music Store regarding your podcast's artwork. I appreciate your patience in this matter.
There was an issue with the Music Store which affected several podcasts, including your own. Our engineers have identified the issue and it has now been resolved. Your podcast's artwork should appear on the Music Store within 24 hours.
In the meantime, please continue to ping the iTunes server using one of the methods described in our technical specifications:

MP3 Podcasts with iWeb

Hi, everyone
We're going to be making our podcasts in GarageBand and then sending them to iTunes as an MP3. Can these MP3s be used in iWeb or do we have to send them right from GarageBand to iWeb? We want full compatibility.
Thanks.
Dan & Aixa

Nope! Go ahead and send your finished PodCasts to iTunes as MP3s. No problem. Later when you get up and running with iWeb, you can start a Podcast template and grab the MP3s from iTunes! Check out iWeb soon....you're gonna love it!

VIDEO PODCAST WITH iWEB-how to deal with huge file size

Hello folks,
I have created simple website for my video podcast. It all works fine, except one problem. I had used just small video clips for now, just for testing... and it takes long time for website to download. I can't even imagine, how slow it will be, when I have full 15 video episodes within my website. So I am wondering, is there any way of how to maintain that cool iWeb podcast structure (with podcast page, entry page and archive page) but not to embed those videos onto the page, but instead, play it externally? I have tried to just post the link to the video clip, but than "publish to the folder alternative" does not create correct rss.xml feed, because it does not know where those clips are. So it doesn't work in iTunes.
Any suggestions? Thanks for any input or advise.

Hello,
unfortunately, no answer yet. The only solution I can think of, is to create a Blog instead of Podcast, then post hyperlink to your video file on entry page. That way, the actual video is not embeded on that webpage, but it only downloads when someone clicks on it. That way you probably won't be able to use subscribe button and RSS subscribe button, but you can create your own Feed with Feed For All software (http://www.feedforall.com), put it on your domain, then post it's URL on your website. So if someone wants to subscribe to your podcast, he will copy that address and paste it into the iTunes or some other podcast readers.
I am a beginner, so this most likely is not the best solution, however, it works so far.
Good Luck

Podcasting with iWeb

I've had a podcast going for quite some time now, and I record it in GB, then I use my iDisk and iWeb to publish them to the web. It can be found here http://web.mac.com/cburke5/iWeb/TheEdgeOnline/EdgeCast/EdgeCast.html
My problem is when it comes to getting it up on iTunes. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, I go to iTunes store, then to Podcast, then to submit a podcast, at the podcast feed url, I put it the link that is on my subscribe button which is itpc://rss.mac.com/cburke5/iWeb/TheEdgeOnline/EdgeCast/rss.xml and i have to remove the itpc:// becuase itunes doesnt like it. Then short time later I hit the subscribe button (as have some friends) and iTunes pops up and the podcast downloads, then at the end i just get an exlamation mark and cannot play them.
What am I doing wrong?????

According to iWeb's Help viewer, you don't need to go to the iTunes Store - you can submit your podcast from within iWeb...
Submitting a podcast to the iTunes Music Store:
You can use iWeb to submit your podcast series to the iTunes Music Store, so that it appears on the Podcast page when people visit the music store online. Visitors to the music store can listen to or download your podcast for free.
Note: Your website visitors can listen and subscribe to your podcast directly from your website, even if you don’t submit the podcast to the public iTunes Music Store.
To submit a podcast to the iTunes Music Store:
In the site organizer, select the main blog page or the blog entry that contains the podcast you want to submit.
If the Blog & Podcast Inspector isn't open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), click the Blog & Podcast Inspector button, and then click Podcast.
Enter information about the podcast series or episode.
Artist: Include the author or artist of the series or episode.
Parental Advisory: To help alert parents to content that may be inappropriate for children, iTunes provides Clean and Explicit labels, which you can add to your podcasts (or you can choose to have no label).
Contact email: You can provide the music store with a way to contact you or your podcast’s artist. This information is not visible in iTunes.
Make sure the "Allow Podcast in iTunes Music Store" checkbox is selected and then choose File > Submit Podcast to iTunes.
In the Submit window, enter the information you want to include in your podcast.
Some information—such as the fields you completed in step 3—may already appear in the Submit window.
If you have artwork you want to appear with your podcast, drag it to the graphic placeholder at the top of the Submit window.
Click “Publish and Submit.”
In the iTunes window, follow the onscreen instructions to complete the submission process.
Note: When you submit a podcast to the iTunes Music Store, all your iWeb sites are published.
It may take a while for the podcast to appear in the iTunes Music Store.

Newbee: I want to Podcast with Apple - where to start?

Hi,
I am in a WINDOWS environment trying to give apple technology a chance. At Heilbronn university we want to experiment with podcast technology using apples podcast producer. Blue-eyed I tried to install the Server OS and, as the next step, tried to configure the machine using the "podcast producer administration guide". I failed. E.g. the guide tells me to set up DNS to strange addresses, but only HOW, not WHY. And it doesn't work.
So I need help:
I have an environment where the server (mac mini) is attached via ethernet (manual DHCP with static IP address) using our university DNS. Our university has its own mail server, its own LDAP Server, etc.
Attachment to LDAP is not needed but I want to use a macbook air to capture the podcasts.
Where should I start?
Any help is welcome.
Best regards,
Dr. Jörg Winckler

Guten Tag Jörg!
Your setup is similar to one i've just deployed for a college here in England.
Are you planning on using Podcast Capture or quicktime on the macbook air to capture the podcasts? You have to login to the mac server in order to submit the podcasts, and that requires a user account either standalone on the mac server's openldap, or your university wide LDAP.
The other options depend on exactly what you want to do with your podcasts. You might not need a mail server at all if you're not publishing notifications..
As for DNS, its actually fairly simple. You just need the FQDN of the mac server to be published on the network you will be using to connect to the mac server from the macbook air, and it needs a reverse DNS entry for the same.
I hope this helps, but feel free to ask detailed questions on anything i've missed.
Thanks,

Podcasting with iweb and itunes.

Trying to get set up to podcast some of our programs and not having any luck.
We have an iweb site and when we are prompted to type in the feed URL , would that be our iweb sites URL? it comes back with cant read and invalid.
What are we doing wrong?

What is prompting you for the "feed URL"? Can you be more specific?
I recommend reviewing this document for general Podcast information as related to iTunes:

Podcasting with iWeb- RSS FEED TITLE?!?!!?!?

Alright, I put my podcast together using Audacity for the most part but used the new Garage Band to fix it up and add an introduction. Then I exported it in to iWeb from Garage Band to publish it to the web. You can see it for yourself at podcast.notsam.com. Now, for some reason when one hits subscribe to podcast from the site it appears with the RSS feed URL as the title. For this same reason iTunes won't accept it as the "Feed doesn't have a title." Am I missing something here. Obviously I created a title for it, and it does have one before I upload. Any help? Thanks

iWeb appears to name the RSS feed from the title text that appears on the picture frame at the top of your initial weblog page. This defaults to "My Blog" - hence your RSS feed gets this name.
I've managed to fix it in mine - http://web.mac.com/karen.hughes/iWeb/Curlypaws/Curlypaws%20Blog/Curlypaws%20Blog .html - note how the title on the picture (not the page title) is "Curlypaws Blog" and if you subscribe to the RSS feed, that is what it will be called. Not very intuitive - it puzzled me until I read the earlier post in here from jayeaster and then played around with my own site.
Dual 2Ghz G5, MacBook Pro (on order...) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I am having issues with iWeb where my slide shows aren't displaying when I upload to Yahoo. Any thoughts?.

I created this site using iWeb 3.0.4, and everything works great when I publish to a folder on my desktop. I have tried to upload the site to a Yahoo server using the FTP app inside iWeb as well as fethch, and neither one is sucessful at loading correctly. I have received a vague "User permissions denied" message on both apps, but everything seems to be there.

Instead of looking for another host, why not solve the problem?
Logic tells me to remove the spaces from the filenames.
And no, there is no setting in Cyberduck to do that for you. You do the removing.
And why not look for webhosting in your own community?

Sharing with iWeb

I share my podcast with iWeb, but when I visit the site the podcast doesn't show. It only shows with a broken quicktime logo, and won't play (obviously). I've installed the latest version of quicktime, and haven't found how to fix it. What can I do to have this podcast work properly?

GarageBand Fails to post my podcast to iWeb

Ever since I loaded iLife 09 garageband has not worked right. So far every two out of three attempts to share a podcast with iWeb fails. Garageband puts up two barberpole status readouts, turns on iWeb and when it is finished----nothing. How do I report a problem to Apple. these two programs seem to have problems interacting.

I turned off auto normalize and attempted to share a podcast with iWeb. Garageband did it's thing, turned on iWeb, I noticed the spinning color icon for a few minutes, then....nothing. Normally iWeb pops up a dialogue box asking which podcast page to post the episode to, no such box appeared. Thanks for the advise, I have yet to call product support. I guess I will tomorrow.

Please help me

Your RSS feed does not validate:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffreinet.paed.com%2Fnews%2FPo dcast2%2Fpodfreinet%2FPodcast%2Frss.xml
The first problem is that you are claiming that it's UTF-8 when it's not.
I believe that is because you've typed or pasted in some Unicode characters that require UTF-16.
Or possibly even UTF-32...
It's also possible that you copy/pasted from MS Word or some other kind of document.
Don't do that!
It will have all kinds of non-standard characters in there for formatting that have NO meaning outside of MS Word.
See the double ?? in this page:
http://freinet.paed.com/news/Podcast2/podfreinet/Podcast/rss.xml
Those are your problem characters.
Get those to "work" in Firefox, then check the feedvalidator link above until you "validate"
You may have to live with not-quite-right characters for the umlauts and whatnot until you can work out how to get UTF-16 if that's what it takes.

Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
Thanks.

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Launching my Business' Website with iWeb '06

I'll try to keep this brief. Here's where I stand thusfar:
1.) I am putting together my small business' startup website using iWeb 06, due to its ease of use, having everything I need to make a nice startup site (particularly for my portfolio, blog & podcasting) & ability to update easily. However this WILL be a company site, so I need to find hosting besides mac.com.
2.) I own my domain names through Godaddy.com. I do have it set up right now to forward these addresses to my mac.com site.
3.) I need to add HTML code onto my site so I can have an opt-in list for those that want my newsletter.
4.) Eventually I will be selling my own products on my site, which I plan to use Paypal to handle payment. But I need a digital delivery system for my products.
I know there are many out there that have some great suggestions about programs & services that are ideal for the mac. Any info you could offer would be GREATLY appreciated. I am starting this up on a shoestring so money is a factor, however I see this as an investment & am willing to trade cash for ease of use (basically, if it's easy to use I'm willing to spend the cash on it).
Thank you

Hey, thanks for your quick and helpful answer!
I wasn't sure it could be done with iWeb, since I tried to do it with my godaddy hosting package, and their off-the-rack website builder didn't allow for html code to be pasted. guess, iWeb allows for that.
My webdesigner told me, iWeb wasn't suitable for professional business websites (video & audio files, newsletters, autoresponders, password protected members' area, the works), only for granny sharing her fotos with her family... seems, he was wrong
thanks again,
Orlando

Podcast with garageband

I created a podcast with garageband, sent it to iweb to host on my site, submitted it to itunes from iweb. It was just approved today but when I looked at it there is a link back to my page where the podcast is hosted and I want it removed. How do I go about removing that link?

I've not used iWeb for podcasting, but I ran a quick test and as I expected it fills in the 'link' tag in the feed (from which the iTunes Store page gets the site URL) with the URL of the podcast page. I can see no way of preventing it from doing this: you could edit the actual feed (you'd have to publish, download it, remove the URL, and upload it again) but you would have to do that every time you publish a new episode as obviously iWeb will overwrite the feed.
The advantage of iWeb is that with no experience you can turn out quite effective sites and podcasts: but the disadvantage is that you get very little scope for customization.

Podcasting in iWeb BIG CHANGE! Be careful

I have just finished my site conversion and realise that the .mac is no restructured. It used to put the site into Web/Sites/iWeb/your%20site%20name etc
But now it is Web/Sites/yoursitename and this is a completely different address so iTunes does not fetch your podcasts anymore from the old addy because it isnt there! So you have to re submit your podcasts to iTunes. Even the RSS file are in a different location and the media files are different names in a media folder. Have a look. Or is it just mine?

I fixed this by doing the following:
1) Recreate the folder on your iDisk where the OLD xml file would have been. For me this meant creating the folder Web/RSS/iWeb/MYWEB_SITENAME/Podcast because 'Podcast' is the name of the page where my podcast is listed.
2) Copy and paste the new rss.xml file from the new directory in which it sits onto your Mac.
3) Edit rss.xml to add a new tag under where the current description tag sits. This new line should read: <itunes:new-feed-url>http://URLOF_YOURNEWFEED</itunes:new-feed-url>
4) Upload this new rss.xml into your recreated folder from step 1.
5) I'm told that after a few days you should elete this file and folder.
What this does is redirect iTunes to the new feed so that your podcast directory listing just makes the transition. Ideally we would create a proper 302 redirect but i can't see how to do it with iWeb. This however will get to all your iTunes subscribers at least... I think
