Removing media placeholder in a podcast

Whilst using iWeb, it has a media placeholder for podcast entries. This is great for small podcasts, but I am currently hosting a podcast where the episodes are around 70-90mb in size. Is there any way to either stop iWeb from displaying the media placeholder, or to stop the podcast entry from playing immediately?
Ideally, I'd like to remove the placeholder so users have the choice of either subscribing or just downloading the episode

I hope someone can answer Jads question because I have a related problem that would be fixed if the media frame can be removed. In Safari, my podcast episode loads fine, but in Firefox, some of the page text loads, then the media frame apparently downloads the podcast episode (30 megabytes) and many minutes later (when the media frame says the podcast is all read in, then the rest of the page text loads. Is there anyway to tell Firefox to load the page elements before loading the podcast? I've tried moving elements "to the front" and "to the back" without success.
Basically: Safari keeps loading the rest of the webpage while it loads the podcast into the frame (good). Firefox interrupts loading page text in order to load the podcast into the frame (bad for a big podcast).
Here is a link to my podcast website: http://web.mac.com/harveylevine/Rockville_Band/Podcasts/Podcasts.html
There is only one episode, so clicking on it in Safari or Firefox shows the behavior I mentioned. I wonder what happens on a PC browser.
Sorry to be so long winded. Thanks for any help.

How do I make a media placeholder in numbers for iPad/iCloud

How do I make a media placeholder in numbers for the iPad/iCloud
also can I format the placeholder reduce the pixels of the imported
image.

I've only seen this particular function in the Mac / desktop version of iWork. As far as I know, images / media are not resized by placeholders, only masked. Once placed, the images can be double-clicked / double-tapped and then scaled to the appropriate size within the mask.

I can't delete an mp3 with it's 'media kind' changed to podcast on my Ipod touch since the Itunes 11.4 update

When I download long mp3 talk shows and place them on my Ipod touch I change their media kind to podcast to take advantage of the 2x speed and 30sec jump back. I have a smart playlist on my Ipod that shows all podcasts on the Ipod. Once I have listened to them I would normally attach my Ipod and highlight the file in the podcast smart playlist and then shift+del and the file is deleted from my Ipod.
Since the 11.4 update of Itunes there has been some alteration of this function. I can no longer shift+del the files from my Ipod. The ONLY way I can delete them is to change their 'media kind' back to mp3 and then shift+del them. This is a massive pain. Why must Itunes be messed up by every update.
A previous update rendered these mp3 media kind changed to podcast unplayable on your Ipod if you have 'skip when shuffling' checked...
I have an Ipod Touch 4th gen 32gb. I am running Itunes with windows XP.

Stability of Removable Media support in Linux?

Hey all, I'd previously thought support for removable media in linux was very good, and everthing I've used has been detected and mounted correctly and such, however I have experienced some corruption on them, especially on my microSD, as I've recently lost a few photos.
I'm wondering the current status of the support in linux, is it stable, are there any problems, or is it my configuration?
I use Thunar+Hal to manage my removable media.
Thanks

I have found one "odd" issue with Linux: sometimes it delays writing to some external usb card readers. It might be an issue with the reader but it seems absent in XP. I have a kingston multi card reader. I started using it to run my live Arch (Chakra-Live) because it was faster than an ide sd card adapter (odd); however, if I saved my overlay, the drive would show little activity while it was using squashfs on the overlay, and right at the end, the reader light would start flashing but the machine would shut down while the light was still going... and it always botched the save and lost data. It only happened with the external reader; if the card was mounted on the internal reader on my eee-box, or in the ide adapter, it was fine.
Do make sure you do unmount / safely remove the drive, and maybe wait a few seconds. I know my sandisk micromate has no light, so there is no way of telling if has stopped or not.

Master Slide Media Placeholder in Keynote '09

I would like to make a master slide that is 100% media placeholder for videos, but can't quite seem to find the correct way to do it.
If I insert a shape, it won't allow me make the placeholder a media one, and if I drag something into it anyway, it (of course) shrinks to fit around the graphic.
If I try to take a slide that already has a media placeholder on it and try to adjust so that it fills the whole slide, its proportions are constrained and I can't do it.
Is there a way to "unconstrain" the proportions of a media placeholder or a way to create a custom one? I seem to be missing something. Thanks.

Use the slide that already has a placeholder. Select the placeholder and go to the inspector, Metric Tab (sixth tab). There you have the option to Constrain proportions.

USB card reader working, but not showing up in removable media... why?

For some reason lately, my USB mounts, but doesn't show up in the Finder left-hand area with the other removable media, such as DVDs. I have to access it via My Computer, where it does show up. And I have to eject it in Disk Utility.
It does show up normally in iPhoto.
Any idea why this might happen?
Thanks,

How to catalogue "old" removable media

Hi, I shoot photos, download them from my SD memory into my hard disk, and import them using LR 1.3.
Soon my hard disk gets full and so I can export them burning them onto dvds, retaining all related metadata.
But, what if I want to import from optical media I burned 1 year ago? I have tens of dvd plenty of photos I wished to import in LR, so that in future I could find what I search for using LR good filters.
I don't want to spend time telling LR where the orphan photos are, I simply want LR to answer me 'this photo was on a removable media named "PHOTOS_13".' when I search for a particular keyword.
If I don't go wrong, simpler applications like ACDSee or ThumbsPlus allow this...
Nino

There isn't a way to do this yet in LR, but it sure has been discussed a lot in this forum. Do a forum search for "offline" to find some of what people have been asking for.

Removable media

For some reason I cannot unmount removable media (in my case a USB flash drive) from Thunar using HAL. I believe it is saying that I do not have permission to unmount it. I've tried putting my user in the groups "hal" and "storage". I can't seem to find a solution.
What's strange to me is the fact that it unmounts sometimes but other times not...
Anyone got an idea?

That sounds right! I feel so stupid, it's just when I seen the word "permission" in the error dialog I thought I didn't have sufficient privelages to unmount the media.
Thanks.

Gnome: Add custom command to Removable Media application

I'm trying to setup cvlc to run a DVD when inserted into the drive. I created a cvlc.desktop so it is seen when I go to to the Removable Media menu but it doesn't work because a custom command is required. How do I configure it so that one can be run? The cvlc command to run a DVD is:
cvlc dvd://
Any ideas?

Try modify /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf as root:
<match user="$USER">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
</match>
Change $USER for your username... then /etc/rc.d/hal restart as root

Saving Messages to removable media

A user has messages that they would like to transfer to CD or USB Memory stick or some other form of removable media. I understand that the messages are wave files, but how do I get access to them so that I can copy over for them!?

Hi Janis,

Copy Keychain to Removable Media

Hello All:
I wish to 'copy' my Keychain to removable media, just in case something untoward happens. Of course, the backup is in Time Machine, however without another 'Mac' around I cannot access the data. So, I figured I copy Keychain to removable media (iPod Classic set up as hard drive).
Now, Mac Help says to "Copy your keychain to a location... or copy it to your removable media."
Great! Now for the daft question: How do I (exactly) copy my keychain to removable media?
Many, many thanks in advance!

V.K.:
Many Thanks for the reply. I should have thought it would be as easy as that. Although you are absolutely right that removable media is no better than a TM back-up, considering I will still need a Mac to access Keychain, it is more useful to me. It is easier to travel with the iPod (Classic) and have the info available than to carry a TM, even if I will need to locate a Mac to access.
Many thanks again,
Bill

How can I define a hexagon as a media placeholder in Keynote '09?

If I choose a polygon (and changing the sides to make a hexagon), the only option given to me is to make this a 'text' placeholder -- how can I make the hexagon shape a media placeholder?
I tried dragging a photo into a slide, then masking to a polygon shape, but I would prefer hexagon shape. Any thoughts?

Kingston DataTraveler shown as having removable media.

I have tried two new Kingston HyperX 3.0 DataTraveler DTHX30/256GB USB Flash drives in my Lenovo T500 2081 with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, but both show up in Explorer and Storage Disk Management as a device with removable media--as opposed to being a removable drive. It therefore has 0 capacity and cannot be accessed for reading or writing, nor formatting. I have checked that I have the latest Microsoft and Lenovo drivers, but nothing I have tried or that has been suggested by Kingston or other sources fixes this issue. The DTHX30/256GB works fine on computers with Windows 7 32-bit and Windows XP, just not on my Lenovo T500. I have used Diskpart on another computer to clean, partition, and reformat the DTHX30/256GB without any affect on how the T500 sees the drive. I also used a software utility on another computer to "flip" the removable bit without apparent affect in how the T500 sees the drive. What is causing this issue and how to fix it?

could you try the testing repo?
there is the new udev along with new initscripts that should fix it.
other fix would be to change the udev.rules rule according to this:
# never access removable ide devices, the drivers are causing event loops on open()
BUS=="ide", DRIVER!="ide-cdrom", SYSFS{block/removable}="1", GOTO="persistent_end"

Vold Manager never detects the cd rom and any other removable media

Hi,
I have installed solaris 10(i86pc i386 i86pc) on my PC through Oracle Virtual box but I am stucked in a problem that the vold manager never detects the cd rom and any other removable media devices. I have tried many documented methods but could not get solution to this problem. I also stopped the volume manager (vold) and tried to mount the cd rom manually but still could not mount the cd rom.
I don't know how to configure solaris in such a way that it could detect cd rom and any other removable media.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Anees

Is it an IDE or SCSI CD-ROM? Can you post back the output of the following command?
ls -l /dev/dsk/c*

Windows 7 GPO - Disable All Removable Media then Re-enable, now CD/DVD drive is inaccessible

Ok, this might be better placed in the Windows 7 forum, but we're having some issues with limiting access to removable media via GPO.
We've set up a GPO for Computer Policy, Admin Templates, System, Removable Storage Access, All Removable Storage classes: Deny all access - Enabled
After finding that this was a bit too restrictive we reset it back to Not Configured (and later Disabled to try and force it) but it seems to break our DVD drives on all Win7 x64 machines (the gpo is limited to apply only to these machines). Instead
of the usual icon in my computer it shows a description of the CD/DVD in the drive and the usual "unknown file type" icon. if you take the cd out it shows the usual cd rom icon, but still gives "access denied"
There is one workaround, and that is to set the GPO back to not configured and manually remove the CD/DVD device via device manager, restart, and allow windows to re-install the device drivers.
This is 100% repeatable by applying the same local computer policy (All Removable Storage classes: Deny all access - Enabled" and restarting the machine.
Has anyone else run into this problem before? And how can we fix it without having to go to every machine to remove the DVD drive from device manager?
Thanks,
-Nick

Hi,
after looking on many pages for a solution i always found the same workarounds - but for me deleting the device is no option because you aren't allowed to delete devices without administrative rights. Also I can't expect that our users always have to reinstall
the device.
So i analyzed whats going on in the registry when the key "Deny_All" for blocking RemovableStorageAccess is set to 1 - with the running of gpupdate i realized that Windows is writing a registry key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\Device\
named "security". The problem is that windows doesn't delete this key after setting the key "Deny_All" back to 0. Only sometimes it will be deleted, for example when you apply the policy for blocking devices and reverse this setting immediatly without a restart
of windows.
I made a little script which I integrated in the user-gpo (as logon script) for granting access to the removable storage devices:
'****SCRIPT START****
' this script searches for all "security"-keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\ and deletes them
Option Explicit
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Dim oReg : Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim sPath, aSub, sKey, aSubToo, sKeyToo, dwValue
' Get all keys within sPath
sPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE"
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath, aSub
' Loop through each key
For Each sKey In aSub
    'Get all subkeys within the key 'sKey'
    oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath & "\" & sKey, aSubToo
    For Each sKeyToo In aSubToo
        oReg.deleteValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath & "\" & sKey & "\" & sKeyToo , "Security"
        if Err.Number<>0 then
            Err.Clear
        end if
    Next
Next
'****SCRIPT END****
The policy for giving access to removable storage looks like this now:
- a logon script is executed which searches for all "security"-keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\ and deletes them
- the setting "All Removable Storage classes: Deny all access" ist set to "Disabled"
I hope this helps...

Swanson
