Subscribing new users to my podcast in iTunes

We're having an event. I'd love to get the people coming to subscribe to my podcast in iTunes, however, if they don't have their computer... how can they subscribe from my computer? Can't right? Is there a work around for this?

You can create a guest network on the computer which will not require a password.

New user account created when transferring iTunes

Ive just succeeded in transferring my active iTunes from my XP PC to my Mac Book using Migration Assistant however, it has been placed in a new User Account. I don't really want another User Account and so need to know if there is anyway I can merge the User Accounts so that I can use my main iTunes account in my main User Account?

See especially step 9 of "Use Migration Assistant after your Mac has started up" here:

This deals with getting the information into the correct user account.

New user with ipod on old itunes account. How?

I inherited a macbook with a new job. How do I restart itunes with my ipod touch without losing everything on my ipod when I sync?
If this were a PC I could uninstall and reinstall itunes to get a fresh start that honors my current ipod, but I don't see how to accomplish this with a mac..

How do I send a link to my podcast on iTunes?

I have a bunch of my TESTTUBE.TV content podcasting on iTunes and I want to post a link to them on my site. Can anybody tell me how I do that? I tried linking to the XLM file but that doesn't really solve it unless your browser is a RSS feeder. I need to create a link to iTunes I think.
Thanks Kevin

From Apple's Podcast Tech specs...
Linking to Your Podcast
If your podcast is accepted, customers will be able to discover it in the iTunes Music Store via search or browse. But you can also create links directly to your podcasts and share those on your website or in email. There are two preferred linking methods:
Music Store Link: The following link goes directly to your podcast page in iTunes, where users will have the opportunity to subscribe to the podcast. This link can be found for any podcast by control + clicking (or right clicking in Windows) the podcast’s art on its page in the Music Store:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=FEEDID
Direct Subscribe Link: The following link automatically subscribes the user to the podcast in iTunes. Note that this method fails for Windows users who do not have iTunes installed, so it should be clearly noted that the link is intended for subscription with iTunes.
itpc://FEEDURL

How to move iTunes library to new user account?

My primary user account on my Mac (I'm the only user but I have an admin account just incase my 1 account ever gets corrupt or something) was operating very slowly and messed up an external hard drive among other problems so I made a new user account which seems to be operating more smoothly. I've tried to trouble shoot the problems with the old user account but it took a lot less time to just make a new user account. Anyway, I tried copying over my entire iTunes from older user account to new user account. When I open iTunes in the new user account, I changed the iTunes folder location in preferences and then restarted iTunes. None of my playlists or media were showing up in iTunes. I tried importing the XML file by doing FILE > ADD TO LIBRARY. I also tried draging the .it file to iTunes. No luck. Any ideas?! I was able to copy my library back to the old account and have everything there but the new account doesn't import all my media/metdata/playlists. I don't want to re-import my whole library again because I will lose some of the meta-data like play count, ratings, etc. I've looked at a lot of guides online with no luck.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

If you put the entire iTunes folder in the exact same location as it was in your other account it should have opened up intact. There should be no need to change the media file location preferences since this has nothing to do with iTunes looking for your library file which is what it uses to locate everything else. iTunes will automatically look for the library file in the default location in whatever account is used to invoke iTunes.
An issue that might arise would be permissions not being set correctly on the files, but then I would have expected iTunes to complain clearly about that.

How can I play multiple episodes of a podcast in iTunes 11?

Hi there - I'm subscribing to a number of podcasts in iTunes 11. I would like to play multiple episodes of a podcast one after the other without having to start each one separately, and preferably without having to create a playlist each time. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I do not have an 'My Podcasts' option. Ihave Podcasts and On this IPod
In Podcasts if I click on a podcasts no options display.
Also, why do some of my podcasts now delete automatically after they have been played and some do not.
I have my Settings set to not auto delete
I have to say that Apple seems to screw more things up than it fixes. I would suggest when you include new options you default it to keep it as it was before upgrade so people can choose to use it and not have to reset things not to use it

How do I hide old podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and What's Up with the New Podcast Pane?

FIrst of all, I'm having fits with this "new" way of managing podcasts.
For years, I have managed the podcasts on my iPod (and now my iPhone 5) by manually syncing the device with my subscribed podcasts in iTunes. I have iTunes set to download the most recent episode of each of my podcasts and to keep all episodes until I delete them. Some podcasts I listen to or view only my MacBook Pro and I don't sync these to my iPhone. This has worked fine for years.
I moved to Apple's dedicated Podcasting app when I purchased my iPhone 5 earlier this year, but I maintained the manual syncing as I had done, using the app only to play the podcasts, not to subscribe to or download them.
I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 7 on launch day and downloaded iTunes 11.1 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. The iOS upgrades went flawlessly for both of my devices, but iTunes has been a problem. It was sluggish when I first opened it, with lots of spinning beach balls. When I opened it for the first time, I went to the Podcast section and to my list of podcasts. They all now had "Subscribe" buttons by each of them (I was already subscribed to the podcasts in iTunes before the update). I assumed that I had to click the buttons to activate subscriptions in iTunes, but low and behold I discovered that it subscribed my iPhone 5's podcast app to ALL of the podcasts in my list (even ones that I don't put on the iPhone). It also started DOWNLOADING all of the episodes of these podcasts to my iPhone which, had I let it continue, would have eaten all of my bandwidth on Verizon for the month (and then some), plus the iPhone would have been filled up long before it could finish downloading the episodes.
I managed to get the iPhone's Podcast app to stop downloading these episodes, then I manually deleted all of the podcasts that didn't belong on the iPhone. I then had to go through all of the podcasts in the app and click a yellow box that said they hadn't been updated and wouldn't resum updating until I clicked the box.
Then I went back to iTunes 11.1, where I discovered that ALL the podcast episodes for my subscriptions that are still available for download in their feeds were now listed (2,000+ episodes), with previously listened-to episodes now showing with a cloud download icon next to them. Even more frustrating, I can't delete these from iTunes even though I've already listened to them and, even more frustratingly, the "Subscribe" button remains by each podcast in the list.
All I want to do is remove these previously-listened to podcasts from my lists, remove the subscribe buttons (since I'm already subscribed in iTunes), and continue to manually sync my iPhone's podcasts with iTunes as before. What do I have to do to make this happen? And if these are new "features" of the new iTunes, please share with your team that, while there are many who update wirelessly over their cell carrier's bandwidth, others of us don't have the capability (or desire) to do things this way and we want to switch this off and return to the "old" way of doing things.
Any ideas on how to fix iTunes 11.1 to return to the old way of doing things would be greatly appreciated!

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

How do I list a 10.5 server user blog/podcast on iTunes Store?

It may be simple but even Enterprise support sent me here to ask.
I just had to reinstall my entire server thanks to the 10.5.6 update. I had a blog setup before as a static website and manually updated it using iWeb and then <ugly> I added all the iTunes RSS tags by hand.</ugly>
This time I want to rebuild it using the web-services "user blog" in OSX server.
I have it up now, I made a user named "podcast" and he has a user blog/podcast. Everything works fine with iTunes clients directly subscribing from our blog page. But how do I get him listed on the iTunes store? Can I keep my current (before the crash) listing at the iTunes store and just point it to the new location?
I do not see where to insert the iTunes RSS tags into the new user blog, I have poked around the collaboration folder to no avail.
Thanks for the help!

Your new feed appears to be valid in format, but the URLs given in the 'enclosure' tags, which locate the media files for iTunes, won't work: an example is http://10.0.0.2//users/podcast/weblog/57eb8/images/a668e.mov
You need to give the full URL, accessible to the outside world. You can check the validity of a feed by using the 'Advanced' menu in iTunes and choosing 'subscribe to podcast'. This subscribes you to the feed without involving the iTunes Store.
The process for moving the feed, given in the link I gave you, needs you to have a valid feed at the old address, with the added 'itunes:new-url' tag, and a valid (ideally identical apart from that tag) feed at the new URL: obviously the old feed must be maintained until iTunes has switched to the new one (expect it to take several days). If both feeds are correct the process is seamless.
When iTunes has switched it will be reliant on the new feed, so this needs to contain all the necessary information: if you are using something built into OSX Server to make your podcast I can't advise on that and you could try the forum as I mentioned above.

Not sure why support would have you ask that in the server/web forum. That has nothing to do with the Server OS and the Web service. I'd recommend posting in the iTunes forum. That at least has something to do with what you're trying to accomplish.
Wish I could be more help.

The podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage

I am the owner of a podcast named Sidetalk. Since lat month, the podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage, and even show the owner as UNKNOWN.
Could you fix it? Or let me know how to modify the information.
Many Thanks.
Sincerely,
swpave
Sidetalk podcast link on iTunes Store:

Sidetalk Podcast homepage

The feed URL you give redirects to
http://www.myaudiocast.com/swpave/rss/
Although episodes up to 1 November show when subscribing the feed comes up empty when examined in FireFox, and FeedValidator complains of a problem in line 28 - it's in the space after the comma (or possibly before it) here -

Please see the FeedValidator report at
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myaudiocast.com%2Fsw pave%2Frss%2F+
I can't see what this might be - perhaps you managed to get a word processing invisible code character into it: I can only suggest you delete that section and retype it.
It's odd that it's appearing when subscribing but not in FireFox, but it does seem likely that this is blocking the Store from updating.

My feed not refreshing new podcasts on iTunes, even after 2 months. help

hi All
I'm very new at this, but I have been battling to get my feed refreshed on iTunes for over 2 months. but nothing has happened.
podcasting feed: http://www.badilishapoetry.com/podcasts/podcast.xml
itunes page: http://itunes.apple.com/za/podcast/badilisha-poetry/id369675119
(i have the Feed Validator report if that helps at all?? it doesn't help me much)
I initially posted the first batch - 23 to itunes using the free version of Lemondreamz' Podcaster. I then posted the next batch, importing the Podcaster feed, into Reinvented Software's Feeder software. But now here is my problem ...
it won't refresh the information on iTunes, or upload any of the new episodes. And now, having spent 2 months trying, I am more confused than I was when I started it.
I've tried pretty much everything that I can to sort it out, and two podcasters have tried to help, to no avail, what do I do to sort this out? Can anyone help?

In fact iTunes is not looking for the feed at the URL you give, but at
http://www.badilishapoetry.com/
This of course brings up a web page which obviously iTunes does not recognize. I can't say how tit comes to have this address. However the feed you link to has this tag in the top section:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.badilishapoetry.com/podcasts.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
And this will have redirected iTunes to a non-existent feed at that address.
Furthermore, the feed at
http://www.badilishapoetry.com/podcasts/podcast.xml
reads in Firefox and validates in FeedValidator, but I could not subscribe manually to it (from the 'Advanced' menu in iTunes) - iTunes complained it could not find the file. I can't explain this unless your server is doing something very odd.
I'm afraid you are now painted into a corner. In order to get iTunes back on track you would have to place a working feed with the redirect tag at the URL it now has, and I doubt you can do this.
This leaves you with only two options: one is to abandon the podcast (you should ask to get it removed - details here: you would need to change the title slighly or you will be told it has already been submitted.
Your second option is to ask the iTunes Store to redirect the feed to the actual feed address: I have to say they are often not very helpful, tending simply to send back standard answers (or redirect you back to this forum), but someone did manage to get this done so I suppose you lose nothing by trying. Their Support is at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.
However, you first need to get the feed working. You should test it choosing 'Subscribe to Podcast' from the 'View' menu in iTunes. If this isn't working there's no point in following either option until it is. I can't explain why it's working in browsers but not in iTunes: if you have some sort of redirect in place to another URL where the feed is actually situated (such as a web.me.com address used with Personal Domain) try manually subscribing with that.
On top of all this, the links to the media files in your feed, e.g.
http://www.badilishapoetry.com/june/liesl.mp3
don't work and bring up your domain name provider's 'not found page.

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

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
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.

Unable to upgrade iTunes 10.1 or add new user

I have iTunes 10.1.0.56 installed on a Windows 7 PC. Whenever I try to upgrade to any newer version, the installation stalls. The dialog box says that the program is trying to use a resource that is unavailable, then it prompts me to try to find the folder containing iTunes64.msi, which is the installation program itself. One of the suggested locations is "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"; another is C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 10.1.0.22\ which was probably the first version I loaded after I bought the PC. I have tried over-writing the version number; I have also found temp folders in cache from previous upgrade attempts, but none of those folder names work. I keep getting the message that (whatever) is not a valid installation package. Eventually I have to cancel the upgrade.
iTunes works fine for me and my children on our respective user profiles. We all have iPods and used iTunes regularly. My wife up to now is a non-iTunes user but she just got an iPod Classic for her birthday. However, when she launches iTunes from her profile, the installation program launches and then stalls with the same error messages as above. So she can't use iTunes and without having her own iTunes account, her iPod is useless.
I have seen this problem or similar issues discussed on other boards, mainly involving older versions of iTunes and/or Windows. I have pretty much the latest of both but can neither upgrade iTunes or set up my wife as a new user. Can somebody out there help me?? Thanks!

I also encountered the same problem.
and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..
but when reinstalled prior itunes version 9.2 its gone
and issue fixed.
i can sync my 3G.
but not my 4G. it says you need to upgrade to 10.1 or above
spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
i finally find out one thing.
pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
ok. lets start...
in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
and reinstall itunes 9.2
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
uninstall itunes 9.2
and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
restart the computer and start itunes now
what happens?
best of luck.
-Kmhm63
reinstall the newer version 10.1
I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.

Setting Up a New User Account - iTunes issue

My wife and I were both using our Mac as a single user, but logging into iTunes under separate iTunes accounts to download our own music and apps.
This week I set up a new User Account in her name, and transferred all music and apps to her User Account so she would be able to access and sync on her own account, just by fast switching, rather than logging into iTunes each visit.
When she plugs her phone into the iMac to sync via iTunes, she gets the following message:
*iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone " " because another sync client is already running*.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

I recently had this same error message problem with my 3GS. Here's everything I did, one of the steps solved the problem...
1. Restarted with the phone unattached.
2. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
3. Restarted the phone. Here's where I had some difficulty: After swiping to confirm the shutdown, the screen went black, and I had the spinning icon that wouldn't go away. I ended up having to hold the lock and home buttons down to force shutdown the phone. I powered it back up, and it took forever to start, but it eventually did. I then power-cycled it one more time, and everything was back to normal.
4. Started up iTunes. Go into the preferences, and under the "Devices" tab, I found my previous backup. I deleted it.
5. Plugged in the phone, and everything was normal. iTunes made a new backup, so the sync took awhile, but it was successful.
Good luck!
