Resolution for podcast episodes on Nano from Keynote

I'm importing Keynote presentations in to Garageband to save them as enhanced podcasts for students to view my class presentation when they've been absent.
I began exporting my keynote presentations as image files, then entering them one by one in Garageband as episodes to view the presentation on a Nano.
The image on the Nano is square-ish and cuts off the sides of the slides.
At what point in this process do I adjust the resolution so these slides so they work on the Nano and to what resolution do I change them to?
Any ideas?

Podcasts usually use a 300x300 image, but on my iPod instead of cutting them off, it shrinks them to fit (letter boxed). You might have to try this:
Export your images as normal
Create a new 300x300 presentation with a black background
drop all your photos onto the slide navigator of the new presentation (that left side bar thing where all your slides show up)
See if it makes a new slide for each image and places them on the slide.
Hopefully it'll shrink them to fit and letter box them, but if not, then you'll have to do that manually.
Export AGAIN as images, this time you'll have 300x300 versions of your slides.
Hope that works for you.

  • Editing description for podcast episodes

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to edit the description when you upload a new episode of your podast?
    Everytime I upload a podcast it defaults to this description <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelightcomedy.wordpress.com&blog=62035293 &post=45&subd=thelightcomedy&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />
    I upload my podcast onto auphonic to create a mp3 link, then I upload it to wordpress where feedburner reads it and sends it to itunes. I read that you are supposed to edit the info when you save it as an mp3 or ma4 before you upload it to auphonic, but that did not work as it still gave me the same description.
    If anyone can point me in the general direction of where to edit the description for each episode for how it appears on itunes I would be grateful.
    Cheers,

    Please post the URL of your iTunes Store page.

  • Blank Time Field for Podcast Episodes....Help!

    My recent podcast episodes have nothing in the time field when viewed through the iTunes store. After being downloaded, the time appears, but it's blank within the iTunes store.
    Is this just a freak iTunes problem that will work itself out, or is there something I can do?
    (Using archive.org to host podcasts)
    Thanks!

    hello,
    I have just got a solution:
    The provider Zantel allows now also the password "1" instead of blank.

  • Old podcast episodes automatically deleted from iPod

    Within the last couple of weeks, after I listen to certain podcasts, the episodes have been automatically removed from my iPod when I sync it with my Mac, but other old episodes remain. I don't have my iPod set up to do this. What should I do? Restore my iPod?

    I have described the proces once on this forum.
    In short: Disable automatic sync and enable manualy manage in itunes on yours ipod summary screen...
    It should look like this:

  • Max resolution for mirroring on Apple TV3 from iPad3

    Hello,
    Currently we are Airplay-mirroring from an iPad3 to an Apple TV 2 which has an XGA projector attached to it. The resolution drops down to 720p.
    Will we get a better resolution when we replace the Apple TV 2 by the 3d generation?
    tia
    chris

    No, while video can be streamed at 1080p, mirroring is limited to 720p. This is most likely because it reduces latency. You can see the full specifications of AirPlay streaming under the "TV and Video" section of the iPad specification page: http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Hope this helps!

  • Can i save a podcast without taking up space on nano 6, i keep getting error message space is used up but I don't want to lose the podcast episode for the future

    can i save a podcast without taking up space on nano 6, i keep getting error message space is used up but I don't want to lose the podcast episode for the future

    Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad.  I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great.  Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for. 
    So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
    What is Step 2?  I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
    Thanks again for the help!!!

  • Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

    I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

    The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

  • Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

    I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
    Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
    If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

  • How can I get variable playback rates for podcasts/audiobooks downloaded from iTunes?

    When I download a podcast from the iTunes Store, say Criminal or 99% Invisible, it shows up on my iPod Touch 4G just as a regular song as part of an album--it's not classified as a podcast episode and there's no way to speed it up. When downloading Serial episodes from the Serial site, however, it came with the 2x/.5x speed options, which is extremely useful for me. I tend to download the episodes directly to my computer and then add them to my iPod Touch via MediaMonkey, so I'm not sure what the difference is. With audiobooks, I have to manually change the genre to audiobook and then add to my iPod via iTunes to have the variable rates, so it's really quite a hassle. Is there any way to make this more efficient?

    If you want to access the variable playback rates then the media must be transferred such that its media kind is either podcast or audiobook. I've just tried moving an mp3 audiobook file over to my iPad using MediaMonkey and it has ended up in the right section of the device's library so it must be possible. My understanding is that media kind is a private iTunes property, not stored in the tag, so perhaps MediaMonkey has used Genre to decide which part of the iPad library it should add the file to.

  • Two questions: (1) Removing episodes and (2) Charging for podcasts

    Hi...
    I hope someone out there can either help me or point in the right direction.
    I recently launched a podcast and have two episodes. One is a full length podcast (roughly 90 minutes) and the other is a five-minute "teaser" or preview. I'd like to remove the teaser. While I think that doing so is a simple matter of removing it from my host (and/or removing it from the feed code), I thought I'd doublecheck just to be sure.
    Second question... When I originally submitted the podcast to iTunes for approval, I submitted it as a free subscription. I now thinking of charging 99 cents, but am not sure how to edit my account to reflect this change. I tried to find the answer to this by way of the FAQ page, but for some reason I couldn't find the answer.
    Thanks in advance, and best,
    tiarawordsmith

    Remove it from the feed file (everything between the <item> and </item> tags) and give it a day or two to disappear from the listing on iTunes. Then you can delete the media file (if you do it earlier visitors trying to access it will get an error message).
    As to charging I'm not sure that iTunes provides any mechanism for charing for podcasts. Plainly you would need an account with them so you would have to contact them.

  • Changing the time iTunes checks for new podcast episodes

    My broadband supplier allows me unlimited downloads from 00:00 to 08:00 and I want to use this time to download podcasts. I have set up iTunes to check for new episodes every day and download nay it finds but I can't set the start or end time.
    I am running Windows XP, do I need to edit the registry ?
    Thanks,
    colin

    Hi colin, welcome to discussions.
    No need to edit the registry.
    If you check the "Podcasts" tab in the Preferences, underneath the option "check for new episodes". There is written in tiny letters, when iTunes is going to check the next time. In your case, that would be the same hour you checked last time but on the next day.
    So, I suggest you actualize the Podcast folder manually at 00:01, f.e. The next day, iTunes will do so on it's own. As long as it is running at midnight, iTunes doesn't change this setting, and, as you have broadband, the downloading shouldn't take 8 hours per day.

  • Old podcast episode stuck on my nano ipod

    I have a problem with my nano ipod, I have a second generation and it has a old podcast episode that won't go away.I download it on another computer and when I updated it on another computer, the episode is still their.I've tried deleting it and found out that the site that I got the episode from, had their podcast taken down.Is their any way that I can remove this episode?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • ITunes 11.1 won't let me delete non-downloaded Podcast episodes from my Queue

    This is driving me INSANE!!!
    The new iTunes now shows EVERY SINGLE AVAILABLE PODCAST EPISODE even if I don't have it downloaded!
    These stupid episodes I don't want, have already listened-to, and don't want to even SEE are poluting my screen with their stupid little cloud icon and it's driving me CRAZY!!!
    Please, someone help. Before I drive to California and start pounding on Apple's front door for why they're ruining my life!
    Thanks.

    Oh how I agree.  Most agrivating thing in the world.  Must be an employee getting even with apple.  Don't see how anyone who uses this program could have let it slip through.  Doesn't anyone at apple actually buy and iphone?  Sort of like when Ford president looked out the window and he only saw toyoto cars in the employee parking lot.  Simply can't believe this.
    Otherwise one other small complaint.  The backgrounds are too white and hurt my eyes.  How about a softer text background color please.
