Should I link to my RSS feed or to the iTunes page from my website?

On A Story For Bedtime I want to put a link to a podcast of the stories, should I link to the apple iTunes music store magic launching URL like this or should I link directly to my XML like this . A fair percentage of my audience will not have a clue what XML is, so the iTunes link seems easier, but I don't really want to imply that iTunes and an iPod is the only way to listen to a podcast.

It is considered good practice to link to both.
You should let people know that if they have iTunes to subscribe with one button and if they do not - to subscribe to your XML feed.
Many people also include a link to their Page in podcasts.yahoo.com or their Odeo page.
Here is an example of what Senator John Edwards has on his page.
http://oneamericacommittee.com/media/podcasts/
But at a minimum you should offer your iTunes page and a link to your RSS / XML feed.

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

When i try submitting my RSS feed for a podcast itunes says we are experiencing technical difficulties...... why is this and when will it be fixed?

Well, I can't see any problem with the feed, and the episode media file is correctly referenced and plays. Incidentally you do have a 'copyright' tag - it says 'Wippenberg'.
When a podcast feed is rejected, corrected and resubmitted there is a minor bug in the Store which causes you to be told that the podcast has already been submitted (which is true but irrelevant - it's really meant to prevent duplicates). To get round this you need to make a small change to the title - for example you could add a hyphen and space before 'Podcast'. You can always change it back once it's been accepted.
The other issue might be the content. The reason given for rejection tends to be technical issues, whatever the actual reason is. I haven't listened to your podcast, so I can't comment directly. Possible reasons for rejection are unacceptable content, sexual content or strong language when the 'explicit' tag is not said to 'yes', and copyright infringement: a lot of people fall over this one by including 'mixes' or indeed full plays of commercially issued recordings without having written permission from the copyright owners or alternatively a valid Podcast Licence (not available in all countries, possibly only the USA). I have no idea whether this might be an issue with yours.

How to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using Xcode?

Alright, the question I have has to deal with how to link an app to a website to download files. How, or is it even possible to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using xcode. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but if anyone can help or can send a link to a place that can, I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

TS1363 I can't connect to the itunes store from my Windows Vista PC. I have run diagnostics and itunes have verified my internet connection as positive, but not the secure link to the itunes store. This comes up as failed. Any suggestions?

I can't connect to the itunes store from my Windows Vista PC. I have run diagnostics and itunes have verified my internet connection as positive, but not the secure link to the itunes store. This comes up as failed. Any suggestions?

everytime I try to open the store it endlessly says "accessing iTunes store" but it never opens.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

I try to update the software of an Iphone or Ipad with the Itunes of the MacBook Pro. It downloads the software but at the end always the comment shows up that the download failed and i should try again. Any ideas, I already updated the iTunes software.

Opening links in a RSS feed using the Open in New Tab/Window command doesn't work in FF4. It worked perfectly in FF 3.6. What seems to be the problem?

I have set up a number of RSS feeds to open in folders underneath the search/address bar in Firefox. I use them mainly to follow news updates from newspaper websites etc. After installing FF4, the opening of links contained in those folders (lists of links) using right-click and selecting the Open in New Tab command stopped working. There is no response whatsoever - as if I didn't click the command.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

GUID vs. LINK elements in RSS feeds

I'm reading an RSS feed whose entries contain both a GUID and a LINK element. For each entry, the GUID element contains a notes:// URL (that opens in Lotus Notes when clicked), and the LINK element contains an http:// URL.
For this feed, Mail and Safari display clickable hyperlinks that point to GUID. The LINK elements in the feed appear to be ignored. This means that when I click any of the links in the feed, it is opened in Lotus Notes instead of the default web browser I have chosen.
Is there any way to configure the way Mail and Safari parse and display feeds, so that the LINK element is displayed instead of, or in addition to, the GUID one?
Thanks!
/Michael

If you want to change the way the rss feed looks you can use
a website like
http://rssfeedreader.com/ and
change the options to display headlines only etc. Hope this is what
you want.

An RSS feed without all the RE:'s???

I must be the only one that reads cretin boards on here via RSS.
The problem is, I get hundreds of posts a day because the RSS feed includes EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE that is posted! Why not only when a new topic is posted? I could then go from 200 messages a day, to like 20 if only new threads where put in the RSS and not every single reply to them.
I tried to filter the RSS feed by automatically deleting anything that starts with "RE:" in the title, but that just messes everything up and I loose a lot of the real new messages.
I am using Google reader by the way.
So is there anyway that this can be fixed, or, is there anyone else here that reads these forums via RSS and can share what they have done to fix this problem?
Thanks!
Scott

sdschramm,
If you click the RSS icon at the bottom of Apple Discussions, it will take you to a list of all the available RSS feeds. There are 4 different feeds for each category, unfortunately the legend/links are confused.
I assume you attempted to subscribe to an RSS feed for "Threads" which is actually feeding all the messages in that forum/category. Instead, subscribe to the one that according to the legend is for "Messages" . This will actually give you only the topics that are being posted.
This problem will be sorted in a planned update.

Rss feed address for a wiki page

Wondering what the rrs feed url is for a group wiki- I've tried a few in mail to subscribe to but they dont seem to work. Maybe I need the password/user name somehow

I'm not running the Wiki software to check this; the following is generic RSS.
Is there an RSS icon (often an orange chicklet, though Safari shows a blue RSS chicklet) visible (somewhere) in the browser?
If so, there's an RSS feed. If not, there probably isn't. (Or your chosen browser doesn't display RSS feeds, mayhap?)
In most browsers, you can click on the RSS icon to subscribe.
If your browser doesn't have the RSS icon, you can usually determine if there is a View Source (often Cmd-U) and search for the RSS entry in the HTML text. Cut-and-paste the URL into your RSS viewer, and off you go.
Depending on the browser and how the browser and the RSS viewer is configured, clicking on the icon will subscribe to the RSS feed. (The feed will be subscribed in some RSS viewer, though maybe not the one you wanted to use.)
I don't know of a good way to get the RSS feed in Safari without either subscribing (and then fetching the URL out of the RSS stash), or without looking at the URL. I haven't found a chord that retrieves it into the paste buffer.

Safari cannot open RSS feeds - "could not load any data from this location"

I can't seem to open any RSS feeds inside of Safari. I get this error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://feeds.macworld.com/macworld/all” because it could not load any data from this location.
This has happened on every single feed. I just installed Leopard. Anybody have any hints for me?

Hi
First try Safari from another User Account. When you open Safari, make sure RSS is enabled in the Safari Preferences>RSS. If you can access the feeds there then there may be corruption in either the database or RSS preference files in your Regular User Account. If no go here, then I suggest you reinstall Safari. See this thread for directions.
If the feeds work in the other user account, go back to your regular User Account: Open the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Syndication folder. Move the database3 file to the desktop, then restart Safari. Try an RSS feed. If no change, move the database file back to its original location.
Then move these two preference files in your User Library>Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.SyndicationAgent.plist and
com.apple.Syndication.plist
Restart Safari. Again, try a feed.

How do you link a button to a image on the same page?

I created a photoshop button and pulled it into my Muse website, and I want to link it to an image on the same page. I have a slide show set up, and this way I could have a secondary menu with buttons corresponding to each image in the slideshow. I can only find the option to link the button to another page, or link it to an external website. Help!

Hi avary.s
"Image Option" : http://prntscr.com/svhz7 Tells that its actually the whole image that is being placed within this slide show container.http://prntscr.com/svhz7 check : http://prntscr.com/svine
However, "Hero Image" as show in screen shot provided in above reply, is a container which shows the edited part of the complete image : check : http://projectuni01.businesscatalyst.com/screenshots/2013-02-16_0217.png
So in this case, In slideshows, the links are actually get applied on Hero image or on the slideshow containers.
I hope this information helps

Whenever I click a link in one web site, Firefox blocks the clicked site from opening.

In the new tab, I get a message from Firefox, much like the Pop-up blocker that says "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to click "Allow" to get the site to load. This has just started happening in the past couple of weeks, and to my knowledge, I have not changed any of my Firefox settings.
This always happens if I click a link in Gmail, even when I know I am going to a trusted site. It also happens if I click a link from one site to another, including trusted banking sites, Amazon.com, and the like.
