Subscribe to Podcast button- can I redirect?

I already use feeder to post my podcast to iTunes, so I have been removing the subscribe now button from my iWeb page, as it seems it creates a new feed. Is there any way to repoint the "Subscribe" button so it links to my already published feed?

"Does that mean that anyone who subscribes by clicking the button on my iWeb page isn't being counted by FeedBurner?" Technically not... but it eventually can! ...more on that later.
"can I reroute that button to go to the FeedBurner link instead of the iWeb link?" Yes and no. Yes there is a fix but no, if you do not do anything they will not be counted. I'll explain...
First, do not use the iWeb button. Remove it and create your own with your iTunes ID. Link it to something like this (yours will be different): http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=123401561&s=143 441
I use an iTunes logo
Then modifiy your iDisk/iWeb/yoursite/Podcast/rss.xml with TextEdit to ad the line:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourfeedburnerpodcast</itunes:new-feed-url>
...right before </itunes:owner>
Ping your iTunes ID to refesh it, check it, and presto! Your current subscribers will have their feed refeshed automatically when they open and refresh iTunes.
So far, changes to the iWeb have not altered the XML file but you may have to add the line again with the addition of an entry deletes it. I honestly don't know if it will as I'll be adding an episode in about three weeks.
This solved my "podcasting blindly" problem. I hope it can solve yours. The bauty of it is that if you change your podcast host, you only need to update uor feedburner profile.

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:

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.

Subscribe to Podcast/Subscribe to rss won't work on my iweb created sight.

Hello,
I am trying to get my podcast to sync up with itunes. I tried to make some changes to my original site, screwed it up, fixed it all but re-syncing. I have tried everything I can think both in itunes and iweb. At this point there isn't even a button where there used to be. As you can tell I am at a loss. Could someone walk me through it. I am getting really frustrated. I have mobileme. I tried going to the insert>button>subscribe to podcast button. I have tried to subscribe through itunes in the advanced>get podcast. I don't know what else to do. All the obvious solutions have been used up.

Same problems with my site. I have MobileMe also. RSS and Podcast subscription doesn't work at all.
Thanks for all advices.

Can't subscribe to podcasts

I'm trying to subscribe to video podcasts, but when I click the "subscribe" button iTunes says "Accessing Music Store" for a moment, then does nothing. The podcast is not added to my Podcasts list.
I have reinstalled iTunes 6.0.5, I even reinstalled OSX, but I still get the same problem.
Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Go to your preferences for itunes (bar at top of computer screen) and under "general" make sure podcasts are checked. I had the same issue and now I can subscribe. Hope this works for you. This is for Macs.
On your PC you go to "advanced" at the top of itunes and click "subscribe to podcast"

I can no longer download any NPR podcasts I subscribe to. I can download and listen to other podcasts but none from NPR. I have tried on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Other podcasts, music etc. download fine.

I can no longer download any NPR podcasts I subscribe to.
I can download and listen to other podcasts but none from NPR.
I have tried downloading the podcasts on computers that run Windows 7 and Windows 8. Other podcasts, music etc. download fine.
iTunes version: 11.3.0.54
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling iTunes and I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to the podcasts.
I don't have trouble getting NPR podcasts from the store. I just can't play them in iTunes.

For additional context and to verify if we are talking about the same behavior. Here is what the download screen looks like on my iPod:

HT1430 Sleep/wake button is broken. Can I redirect the sleep/ wake command to another button?

My wife also has an iPad 1. Her sleep/wake button is broke. I downloaded sb settings so she could shutdown to charge. She has to plug in to wake. Can I redirect the sleep/wake command to another button?

Are you charging it from the wall outlet? Or from a computer? It shouldn't need to be powered off to charge from a wall outlet.
However, it appears that you have jailbroken the device. This can cause problems with the functioning of the device. There's really not much we can do to help you with a jailbroken device other than to suggest you restore it to its original factory state.
Best of luck.

Is "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." better than via iTMS?

Am I right in thinking that if I subscribe to a podcast via the subscribe button I do not link directly to the podcast's feed but to an Apple server that redirects me to the feed, and that there is a significant delay between a podcast appearing on the feed and it's appearing on Apple's server, whereas if I subscribe manually via "Advanced|Subscribe to Podcast..." I link directly to the feed and hence get my podcasts all the sooner?
Gosh what a long sentence.

Sometimes.
Apple runs an extra review pass on XML feed files that can result in a podcast no longer updating in the store. Maybe the author adds an iTunes tag incorrectly or something like that.
Also, Apple does appear to cache some of the more popular podcasts. This does often result in a delay in seeing new podcasts compared to using a direct Subscribe URL. But it can also mean that those podcasts download much faster for you since they come from an Apple sponsored location.
For a couple podcasts I now subscribe to both the iTMS feed and the podcaster's direct feed. When the iTMS feed starts working again, I'll unsubscribe from the direct feed.
The bottom line is that podcasts come from a variety of sources and you need to check the podcaster's web site now and then to make sure your feed hasn't fallen behind for some reason.

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Subscribing to podcast without itunes

Hey everyone
I produce a podcast, which is going really well! I'm starting to do some advertising and I'm creating a webpage that explains how to get the show. I've shown a option where the user can get the show without itunes but I don't know the best way to do this. I was wondering if anyone has a program or website that has a simple way for windows users to subscribe to podcast?
Thanks
Bevan

Podcast episodes only available for download when subscribed to podcast

I have a newly created podcast that I created for a client and you can locate the podcast in itunes, however none of the podcast show up. Once you subscribe to the podcast you can download episodes. What could be wrong?
Podcast Link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/global-outreach-center-jacksonville/id696239 758?mt=2
Podcast Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/globaloutreachcenter/xkzn
I set this up like all other podcasts I control however this one is acting funny.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks!

There are three episodes in the feed. All three show when subscribing, and on the Store web page. However in the Store within iTunes only two show - oddly enough the middle one is missing - but the Store claims to be showing three items.
We've seen this before: it's a bug in the Store, and I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do about it - your feed is fine. It will probably sort itself out eventually.

How can i redirect to another JSP page automatically after some event

I am developing a Tic-Tac-Toe game which can be played between two players who are on two different machines.
When the first player comes to the Welcome page he will redirected to a Waiting Page when he clicks on the 'Start' button.
When the second player comes to the Welcome page he will be redirected directly to the Game page, on clicking the 'Start' button.
So how can i redirect the first player to the Game page after the second player is available for the game.
And if i want to manage multiple instances of my game how can i do that//
I am using JSP, javascript and MySQL for developing my project, and I am new to all these tools, but i would still like to carry on with all these only

This is a bit of a challenge because of the nature of the web. Generally the web is "pull only" meaning that the browser has to initiate any interactions - the server can't push data to the browser if it wasn't asked to.
The easiest way to solve this is using AJAX via JavaScript to periodically poll the server for any status changes. There are other ways (the Comet protocol is one) but they start to get a bit difficult and are still a bit new and not completely supported in a standards way. And to be honest they are still basically polling though in a more efficient way.
Are you using a JavaScript framework? Most of the JavaScript frameworks that I've used have built in support for polling in the background. You'd have to have the JSP/servlet side be able to handle these polling requests from the browser and, when another person joins the game, the server indicates that and sends that back to the browser.
As far as multiple instances I would have the server automatically pair up users as needed. So when the first player arrives he has to wait for another player. When the second player arrives a new game is created for those two players. Now a third player arrives and waits until a fourth player shows up. When player 4 joins another separate game is created. Presumably the conversation between the browser and the server will need to include a "game number" or other unique number so that the server can keep track of the games.

Subscribe to podcast feeds in iTunes from Mozilla Firefox

In Mozilla Firefox, how can I add iTunes as an application to subscribe to podcast feeds, so that it shows as an option in the drop-down menu of the preview page? I've selected the iTunes.exe file through the "Choose Application" option, iTunes shows as an option, I select it and when I click on "Subscribe Now" iTunes opens but it does not add the new subscription. I am running Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, iTunes 10.1.0.54 Thank you!

You can add directories to podcast application to use for searching.
Or you can enter the RSS url to add new podcasts.
No directory has ALL the podcasts out there. You need to search and add.

Why no "Subscribe to Podcast" capability in Apple TV 2.0?

I want to be able to subscribe to a podcast from my new Apple TV 2.0 (just purchased this week) and have it kept up to date for me without me having to have a subscription to it from iTunes on one of my computers. I am disappointed that this capability seems to be missing from Apple TV 2.0. I know for other media you don't want the Apple TV to be the only place it resides, but to me, these podcasts are ephemeral. I watch them, I delete them, and I don't need backups of them. If something went wrong with the Apple TV and I lost some podcasts that were on there, I don't care. I primarily got the Apple TV to simplify obtaining and watching these podcasts, so the lack of this capability is (almost) enough to make me want to return it ...

I agree completely. The whole point of podcasts is that you subscribe to them, forget it, then return later....voila! You have new content waiting for you. The fact that you have to keep going to the podcast directory or favorite podcast list to download the newest episode ruins the whole idea.
The way Apple TV deals with podcasts is analogous to having to call up the New York Times every time you want the newest paper delivered. What gives??
I'm aware of the fact that I can subscribe to podcasts in iTunes and set my ATV to sync with my laptop, but isn't ATV supposed to be a standalone device now? My whole reason for purchasing an ATV after the update was that I thought this was a way I could free up some HD space on my laptop and keep all the big media files like video podcasts on the AppleTV alone. I'm pretty disappointed that I can't.
I should have stuck to what I was doing before: using Miro to aggregate podcasts, then plug my laptop into the plasma with a DVI to HDMI cable.
Apple please fix this in version 2.1 so I don't feel like I just wasted $330!

I was unable to download episodes from a season I purchased. It kept giving me the same "connection has been reset" error message. But I went and clicked on support under quick links in iTunes and it allowed me to start downloading from that screen. I didn't have to go into anything, it just automatically popped up that I had items to download and asked if I wanted to download them. I clicked on it, it prompted me for my password, and then started downloading them instantly.
