Rhythmbox error: Can't update podcast & use Magnatune Store plugin

Hi, well recently I noticed that Rhythmbox wasn't update my podcasts, hitting the 'Update all feeds' does nothing. Also the Magnatune plugin fails to load the playlist properly.
So I try running Rhythmbox from terminal and this is what I get:
(rhythmbox:5601): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to start mDNS browsing: MDNS service is not running
(rhythmbox:5601): RhythmDB-WARNING **: trying to sync properties of non-editable file
(rhythmbox:5601): RhythmDB-WARNING **: trying to sync properties of non-editable file
(rhythmbox:5601): RhythmDB-WARNING **: trying to sync properties of non-editable file
The line:
(rhythmbox:5601): RhythmDB-WARNING **: trying to sync properties of non-editable file
happens evey time Rhythmbox is trying to update feeds.
I checked on the Wiki to make sure that I got every libs installed (gnome-python, gstreamer-gnome-vfs, etc.) but it still doesn't work.
What is the problem? I used to be able to download feeds with Rhythmbox without and problem, until now. Is it because I need to open some ports for Rhythmbox to work? (I had firewall up and running recently.) Thanks for helping.
BTW: Rhythmbox have no problem playing internet radio. Weird.
UPDATE: I delete '~/,gnome2/rhythmbox' folder and podcast now seems to work (I can update and download a podcast). But I still get this error:
(rhythmbox:5601): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to start mDNS browsing: MDNS service is not running
When running Rhythmbox from terminal.
What does this error means? And how do I fix it? Thanks in advance for helping.
UPDATE2: Ok, now I think I know what cause this: Magatune Store plugin. It seems that it tries to write change into '/opt' folder (which it can't) and give this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/magnatune/MagnatuneSource.py", line 312, in __download_update_cb
out.write(catalog.read("opt/magnatune/info/song_info.xml"))
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py", line 471, in read
zinfo = self.getinfo(name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py", line 462, in getinfo
return self.NameToInfo[name]
KeyError: 'opt/magnatune/info/song_info.xml'
After the plugin tried and failed to write change into '/opt' folder, the problem with update & download podcast return.
Can anyone confirm this?

Ok for anyone interest, I post the above questions on Rhythmbox IRC channel and got some answers regarding these error messages. It appears that the first error mesage:
(rhythmbox:5601): RhythmDB-WARNING **: trying to sync properties of non-editable file
Is nothing serious and seems to have been fixed in 0.11.x. So all is fine.
Magatune Store plugin error was caused by the location of the file on the server was moved. It was already fixed, so wait for 0.11.x or if you just can't wait, moch post me this link to the fix: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/rhythmbox/ … 92&r2=5279
Huge thanks goes to moch for taking time to answer my questions.

Photo sync error- can't update because the required file cannot be found

After setting preferences for updating photos, i get the error-
"can't update ipod because the required file cannot be found"
It seemes to update all other stuff like music and podcasts, but will not update photos.
This is driving me crazy!
Any help would be appreciated

The same problem exists with the German Windows version of iTunes (7.1.1.5).
The error message says nothing!
I wasted a lot of time checking the photo files but there was nothing wrong.
Then I monitored the hd-access to find out WHAT a file is missing: it seems to be about the cache files of the program that isn't orientated right about it's own files!!! It seems to be a big fat bug!!!
The hint here really helps but it also means that all compressed files will be deleted and compressed again. That takes hours of time and lots of GB temp-space on the drives.
I think Apple should deliver a bug-free version of iTunes as soon as possible. And Apple should talk to the customers for that they must not waste their time because of bugs in Apple software.
Will Apple read this?
I can't find an email-adress to send it directly to apple.

I can't update podcasts after updating to 11.2

Widows 7 64bit. When I click the update button, things start normally for about 2 seconds then stalls. After about 3 minutes, I get a Windows message saying iTunes has stopped responding and closes iTunes. If I have task manager open while I try to update, it's obvious there's a memory leak. Memory usage gradually climbs up to about 3GB and then Windows intervenes. I've tried deleting SyncServices and even tried renaming the "Apple Computer" folder. The folder gets recreated but I still can't update podcasts. Ideas?

Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

I just set up my new iMac, and receive error messages when trying to purchase from the iTunes store (error 8003) or update from the App store (error 403 forbidden). THOUGHTS?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page. I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page. I tried a soft reset but still unable. Any suggestions?

You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

Can't update Podcasts

Thanks to the "Improved" quicktime that was forced on me this morning, I cannot update my podcasts, nor can I even see the Itunes store. This happens every time they update some aspect of the player. Normally, I just have to make adjustments to my firewall, and all is well: but not this time. I even disabled it completely, and no luck. All I get is a "NETWORK CONNECTION COULD NOT BE MADE" error message. I've been using Itunes for a little over 3 years, and never had this happen.
If anyone knows of a fix, I'd be obliged.

finally figured it out myself ---
[sarcasm] thanks for all your "help" [/sarcasm]

Error updating podcasts and itunes store

I upgraded to iTunes 8.0 recently and after that, even though i have internet access, i can not get to the iTunes store and update podcasts. please help

Hello a.mcintyre.rn,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music, Podcasts, and iTunes Store app on your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

IPod app: can't update podcast

1. In the iPod app on my (original) iPad, I select a podcast (e.g. MacBreak Weekly) and see that "Salty Snacks" (episode 244) is the last one I have.
2. I choose "Get More Episodes…".
3. The iTunes app takes me to the MacBreak Weekly page in the iTunes Store, where I see that "It Just Looks Thicker" (episode 245) is the most recent one.
4. I click on the FREE button and then the GET EPISODE button and episode 245 starts downloading. I watch it downloading completely in the Downloads section.
5. I switch back to the iPod app and see Macbreak Weekly just as it was, i.e. the most recent episode is still 244 "Salty Snacks", and I can't find the episode I just downloaded.
Any ideas why this is happening? Some notes:
1. I have a similar problem using the Music app on my iPod touch. The difference is that, on the iPod touch, the iTunes app won't let me try to redownload the episode; it appears to remember that I've already downloaded it, even though the episode doesn't show up in the Music app. On my iPad, I can go back to the iTunes Store in the iTunes app and redownload (even though the download never shows up in the iPod app).
2.The same problem occurs with any podcast I try to update; i.e. this isn't just a MacBreak Weekly problem.
3. I'm using 4.3.3 now but this problem has persisted for quite some time on the iPad. On the iPod touch, updating sometimes worked during the 4.3.2 days.

The first line of this post should have read "I can't update or download any apps"

TS1702 Changed my email (also Apple ID) and have a new iPad, now I can't update or use any of the apps that I purchased on my old iPad because it wants to use my old email (ID) how do I fix this. I have spent a lot of money of these apps!

I changed my email address, which in turn, changed my Apple ID. I changed the settings of my iPad and things were fine for me, but my husband shares a few apps with me and isn't able to update or use any of those apps now. The change doesn't work for him.
Now, I got a new iPad mini and I'm having the same problem. I have purchased many apps which I can't use now. I have a lot of work documents saved to them too.
Is there anyway that both husband and I can change the setting so we can access the apps we have already purchased?

You have to be signed into the correct Apple ID in order to download those purchases again for free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out, then sign in with the new/changed ID.

Can't update software through app store, since Feb. Says no updates available. Error says server with specified hostname not available.

Can't update any software or apps through appstore. Updated Itunes after several months by download, install. Using my own Macbook on my network, never had this problem. Re-installed Mountain Lion. Removed file softwareupdate.plist from Library preferences. Repaired disks and permissions. Any ideas? seems like a small issue, but this is pretty serious going forward.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

Can't update apps using my Iphone

A few weeks ago my Iphone4 would not let me update any apps. I can browsw apps, and it tells me how many apps i I have ready for update. However, when I try to update or download I get asked to log, I use the correct pw but it sends me in an endless loop of asking me to log in. I've tried using an old pw, and i get told is the wrong pw (which in that case is correct). I get the same msg when setting up auto updates in Setttings
I have done several sodt resets, 2 hard resets, no change. I have changed my apple ID, no change. And today i just got my Iphone 4S, same thing happens.
I can update fine using Itunes on my PC, and sync after, but it gets kinda annoying. Anyone able to assist? Would be much appriciated.

Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
4. Allow iPhone to reboot; and try to open the apps again.
If that doesn't work; you will have to try a restore in iTunes; and then sync the apps back the phone after the restore.

Can't Update N900 using Ovi Suite.."Sim Card Is Mi...

Please Help.
I've been trying to update my N900 for ages. I downloaded Nokia PC Suite and it told me it can't update on that software and to download Ovi Suite. So i download that, plug my software in, click update, and after what feels literally feels like 5 whole minutes for Ovi Suite to actually find the update, I click the Next step and this appears:
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6640/wtfozg.png
But I do have a Sim card already inside my phone! So i uninstalled the Ovi Suite and tried again and the same message appears. Why is this happening?
is there another way to update my phone?
I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC if that may be causing problems?

I had an unregistered sim from an old pay as you go phone. I used that to fire up my n900. From there I connected just to my wifi and shortly there after I was notified of the update which installed smoothly over wifi.
I believe you can also download the file and copy it to the phone and then reboot the phone and that will also install the update ( I think). Here is a link.

ITunes store error - can't update any apps - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time I try to download my free app updates through iTunes store, I get the following error:
"We could not complete your itunes store request. There is not enough memory available."
Any idea how to fix this? I'm running 8.2.1.6, which is the latest version -
Thanks,
-Ray

I'm on 8.2.1.6 too. But it worked fine on that version since jesterday, and altough i havent changed anything its not working now.
Somehow smells like a Problem on the iTunes Server or something like that.
I am quite sure it has nothing to do with my System, and just to mention it, my Memory is 4 GB (on XP 32 Bit), more than enough. Virtual Memory is also 2 GB and windows is managing it. and theres plenty of space on all Harddrives. There simply CANT be too less Memory all of a sudden.
I also searched the Web for a Solution but this Thread here was the only thing i found.
I dunnow if i should try calling the Apple Support Hotline on Phone... its not exactly cheap and i think they wont be able to solve that problem...
Anyone else experiencing the Problem?
Anyone found a workaround or solution?

How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

HI Judy...
You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.
