Suggest podcast to a friend

I want to be able to suggest a podcast to a friend (email). This should be a feature on the iTunes store.

Hey there,
You can, check out the page below for more information. It is the question regarding how to share podcasts with your friends and one of those ways is via email. Hope this helps.

How did FACEBOOK get details of an obituary search I made in order to suggest me as a friend to a relative of the deceased?

Only one day after I searched for the obituary of my spouse's deceased relative, Facebook suggested me as a friend to the deceased's brother-in-law. We have no connection other than that, no one who is friends to us both. Somehow, the information about the family of the deceased, which included this person's name, was linked to me and thus prompted Facebook to suggest me as a friend. I consider this to be a serious invasion of my privacy. Please give me an explanation.
Thank you,
Nancy Brownlee

This is a Firefox support forum, not a Facebook forum. FB uses a multitude of algorithms to suggest friends and news stories, and most of them are secret. I'd suggest complaining to them.

App Store - podcast - "Tell a friend"

Hi All;
I was looking at some podcasts in the app store and clicked on the "tell a friend" button. Now, every time I listen to my Touch, there is an envelope icon in the bar with the podcast info in the text. I tried sending it to several people, but that didn't delete it. How do I get rid of the icon?
Thanx

you won't get a response, it's just how the software works now.
you can however send apple some feedback and hope they change it back. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

Suggested Adobe Digital Edition friendly sites/stores

I purchased a Sony PRS-600 Digital Book reader for my daughter for Christmas. I could not get the Sony Reader software to load onto my machine and was just about to return to the store. I noticed in my research that Adobe Digital Book reader was compatible – it works and synchronizes with the Sony PRS-600 reader.
Does anyone recommend an ebook commerce site that is compatible and friendly with Adobe Digital Edition application?

http://ebooks.addall.com provides a good price search across a whole bunch of stores.
http://www.feedbooks.com provides nicely formatted public domain books.
The rest really depends upon what you like. For instance I'm into SciFi, so I make heavy use of the Baen store: http://www.webscriptions.net
One final note: The Amazon and Barnes & Noble stores are not compatible with your Sony 600, although the B&N store may be compatible later (once Sony issues a firmware update).

Suggestion: podcast/movie download scheduler (for those on capped internet)

Dear Apple,
I'm hoping an apple dev will see this. Could you please try to build in a download scheduler to iTunes? I blew out my relatively large bandwidth quota last month because an old TV show podcast started up again (a new series) and I didn't know about it.
If we had the option to choose which hours of the day we wanted to download, it'd be brilliant; for example, I need my iTunes to start downloading at midnight and finish downloading at midday. It would also be nice if we had the option to allow smaller things such as songs (under 15mb) to be downloaded regardless of which time of the day it is.
Cheers,
Me.

Suggestion about the 10 friends & family

Hello, My Husband and I have been customers for several yr now and have recently had to go from the Mins. to the 1400 min plan due to the fact that a couple of my friend are not on Verizon, but the rest of our family is on Verizon so now it gives me the option to add my friends to a list and it won't cost me mins. well that's great but now that I have the list which only consists of my two friends I have used less then 200mins in a month and I've had the 1400 min plan now for about 2 1/2 months so why can't Verizon take and make the 700min plan have two or three friends and a family for those that really can't afford to the extra $20.00 a month and especially now days with the economy being the way it is. I think it would benefit a lot of people that don't even come close to using 1400mins or really can't afford to add the extra $20.00

A lot of people are in your situation. The Friends & Family feature of the 1400+ minute plans can easily drop down your usage below the 700 minute point. Part of the reason the F&F numbers are only included on higher priced plans is because of the number of minutes many people get for "free" when using them. I don't think we're likely to see them included on the "budget" plans of 700 minutes for Family Share or 450 for Individual.
I think the best way to save money in your case would be to look at your usage, and try to maximize your night and weekend minutes. Keep your calls to other Verizon users during the day, and then call the non-Verizon folks during "off-peak" times. Maybe with a little diligence, you can reduce your usage far enough that you will be able to move back to the 700 minute plan.
You could also look into doing something like using Skype (or another computer program with cheap VOIP calling) for some of your calls at home to take pressure off your cellular minute allowance.

Suggestion for a user friendly apple experience

-stop this ****** back ups that take hours, and the advice of doing them the evening and stuff i won't take cos i have better things to do that spend hours on my iphone maintenance
-stop apple audio format conversion... maybe people that have 100 songs are happy with it, but when you got thousands it's a nightmare
-make iphone and ipods recognized as external HD devices so that music files can just be changed/deleted on-the-fly
I can't believe i get so ****** each time i want to put new music in my iphone, this product could be so cool and apple makes it such a pain...

If your backup is taking hours, you either have corrupted files on your iPhone or a problem with your PC. If it is the iPhone, a restore will take care of the issue.
My music doesn't get converted when I sync to the iPhone.
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
There are apps in the App Store that will let you do "disk mode"
It sounds like the problem is your own lack of reading the manual or looking at the app store and Apple can't help you with that.

How to send a link for a specific podcast file?

So I'm in my Podcasts directory in iTunes 5.0 and I've got a bunch of downloaded podcasts. Just listened to a particular one that I really like and I'd like to send a link for that podcast to a friend. How to get the link? I do a Get Info on the file and there's no URL anywhere.
Even if I manually add a podcast by choosing "Subscribe to podcast" from the Advanced menu, then entering the podcast URL, if I thereafter try to retrieve that URL from somewhere in the downloaded podcast, it's nowhere to be found. Surely I'm missing something obvious. Now there are a very few podcasts that seem to put that info in their "Show Description" (aka the "Podcast Information" window) but they're the exception.
Before you suggest control-clicking in the iTunes Music Store and choosing "Copy iTunes Music Store URL," note that that doesn't get close to the mark at all, and besides, I need to do this for podcasts that aren't on the iTunes Music Store. Thanks!

I should probably give an actual example to make myself clear. When you refer to clicking the "i," note that doing that is what I was talking about when I wrote: "there are a very few podcasts that seem to put that info in their 'Show Description' (aka the 'Podcast Information' window) but they're the exception." In other words, clicking the "i" opens the Podcast Information window. Same window opens if you choose "Show Description" from the contextual menu that opens when you control-click on the feed name.
But the URL that appears in the Podcast Information window (besides not being selectable for copying and also being in a window that disappears if you switch apps), is just the link to the RSS page that lists ALL the episodes. It is not a link to a specific episode. What I want is the ability FROM A DOWNLOADED PODCAST EPISODE to extract the link for that specific episode. I guess this would be equivalent to clicking the "Get" button next to a dimmed episode that has not yet been downloaded, though I don't really care that clicking that link (if I could find it) wouldn't automatically download the episode into iTunes for the person to whom I would send the link.
So, for example, the link that I can extract from the KCRW On the Beat podcast is this:
feed://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/podcastRSS?id =73331691
But what I want is to get the link (from within iTunes, not by visiting the web page) of the "Our Pop Stars Lead Us" episode, which is here:
http://66.186.18.80/podcast/mp3/ob/ob050907Afterthe_DelugeOur.mp3
See what I mean?

Mp3 or Podcast?

I want to create a site where I can post stories read in my
voice and I want friends to be able to download them to play on
their computer or ipod type device. Someone suggested podcast but I
am thinking that is too involved. They don't need to be able to
play the story on my site, just download for themselves. I am
totally ignorant in this area. Can I just upload an mp3? I am using
MX2004. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Sure, a simple link to the MP3 would be enough for the
beginning. To
allow streaming you could also setup M3U files as described
here:

If you think you need to offer them as a podcast as well, you
can simply
do this as an addition. A podcast is just a special text file
with links
to the actual files, quite simple. There are tools for
creating it.

How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
(Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

How do I change the author of my podcast?

I recently made a podcast for my friend's band through podomatic and submitted it to the iTunes store. It works and all but when I set the podomatic account up, I set it up in my name. So on the iTunes store page it has MY name and I need to find a way to remove it, as to not take away from the band haha.
I've already gone back to podomatic and replaced my name with the band's name. I'm not sure if iTunes will update this information like it does the podcasts or not.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't think there is much you can do
Sure there is: you can ping iTunes to notify them that there have been changes to your rss feed. Instructions on how to ping iTunes are available in the podcast technical specifications page.
You can ping the iTunes server to update your podcast information by entering the following URL into a browser:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=FEEDID
where FEEDID is your iTunes podcast numeric ID. You can also use:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://FEEDURL
where FEEDURL is the url for your feed.
Regardless of the ping method you use, iTunes will return an HTTP 200 code.

Dear Apple friends,
I have the exact same problem with some apps.
Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
Is there a fix for this issue?
Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

Suggestions for NAS for home network and remote access to clients

I have a photo studio in my home and will need to get the digital files to my clients roughly once a week. i am currently using dropbox, but was thinking of purchasing a NAS that I could use for this purpose,as well as for my home network needs, mainly itunes and photos of the kid...
any suggestions for a mac friendly NAS , and how it can be accesed by my client over the internet?
can a NAS be accessed like a FTP site, using fetch or another FTP client?
thank for any help.

Hi Thomas,
I have had similar considerations and finally chose QNAP 439 Pro II over the many other ones out there (LinkSys, NetGear, Bufallo, etc.). Without going into technical details, the main reason for my choice were easy-of-use, functionalities and scalability:
http://www.qnap.com/prodetail_feature.asp?pid=148
It's not the cheapest solution out there, but works great with the Mac, even acts as storage solution for TimeMachine (with latest firm ware). And implementing client access is easy.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Mark

Suggestions on creating a data visualization solution

Hello All,
A website provides to its surfers some data (statistics actually) in form of .xls documents.The data is actually some stats like say in one excel that covers one social welfare scheme you would have one row for a state/region of a country and different columns like Total money allocated by the federal govt, TM sanctioned by a regional govt, Money allocated to a city authority , money that actually went to the end user.. stuff like that. The columns run to many in some cases and there is different kinds of such data.
After I came in touch with this data I realised that the hard work done by the guys who gathered this data, gets ignored because of not so friendly data format. The end user is supposed to crunch numbers and that too after labouring between the excel cells. I am thinking of some way in which this data could be made more presentable. I was suggested by a developer friend to check if flex could be used and thats how I arrived here.
I myself work on Linux based systems and have also coded in Perl. I can't pay for the licensed version of Flex with IDE so I will go for SDK.
Could you guys could tell me if flex would be the right choice for the this kind of problem, in which case I would dig further to study Flex and AS.
Suggestion and comments are more than welcome
-Pranab

This is really an infographic design problem rather than just one of pure technology. Flex could help you or you could use Flash, but you need to look to using good inforgaphics with a drill down capability. It's not straight-forward. There is no magic-bullet capability in Flex to make this data easily accessible.

Can I use music in my podcast ?

hi, im liam,
and im making a podcast with my friend now.
we used a part of 'Boss in Drama's song in our podcast for about a minute for bgm.
in this case, can't we publish our podcast?
plz help us !
thx !

If you use any copyrighted music or recording without obtaining permission you are committing a breach of copyright. This applies to any commercially issued recording less than 50 years old, so for example using your CDs in a podcast will get you kicked off by Apple if they notice it, and could leave you open to legal action by the copyright owners if they notice you.
A lot of people do it and get away with it. However there was a post on hear a bit back from someone who had used a recording without permission and was being sued for $25,000 plus expenses - I don't know what the outcome was, but I can't see that he had any defence.
