Transferring Library: Problem With Podcasts

I recently transferred my library to a new desktop I purchased. I have a certain podcast that isn't being produced anymore but it still showed up in my old podcasts section. When I transfer it to the desktop, only about half of the episodes show up in the podcasts section and the other half shows up in the Music section. I tried combining the episodes into one folder and readding it but the same thing happens. It ends up splitting it into different folders when I add it. How can I make it so when I add it it all adds in the podcasts section? Thanks

Anyone have any ideas? This is really annoying me now. I emailed iTunes and they are no help!

Problems with Podcasts & Library Adds

I'm having two problems, and I'm guessing they're related.
On my Quicksilver tower, with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.6, I've had a hard time adding MPG-4 videos and MP3 audio to my Library. The files just aren't recognized no matter how many times I tried to add them. I had the same problem with my previous version of iTunes, which might have been iTunes 7.5. I figured an install of the newest iTunes would solve the problem, but it still exists.
On the same configuration, I'm having problems with subscribed podcasts. Some podcasts come through as subscribed, but I haven't been able to download certain podcasts, specifically videos from Lynda.com. When I was at MacWorld, I asked representatives of Lynda.com if others had this problem, but I guess I was the only one.
On my Powerbook G4, running OS 10.4.10, iTunes 7.3.1, I have no problems with the podcasts or adding files.
Solutions anyone?
On a similar note, does anyone know why my video iPod won't play certain MPG-4 files? What are the spec requirements?

So far, nobody on the Apple forum has provided me with ANY feedback. Luckily, I'm getting some feedback on MacFixitForums.
Maybe it's a Quicktime problem?
The "GOOD" computer configuration has QT 7.2 with iTunes 7.3.1.
The "BAD" computer configuration has QT 7.4 with iTunes 7.6.
All my MPEG-4 clips were converted with either iSquint or Visual Hub.
Now... how to fix the problem....??? Can I even download the old versions of QT & iTunes?

Problems with Podcasts in iTunes and Podcast App

We're receiving a number of reports from people that our podcasts play for a minute or so and then loop back to the beginning. We're getting the report from multiple users, for different podcast episodes and occurring at different times within each episode.
We've seen it happen once or twice ourselves, but it is very difficult to reproduce. Unfortunately we've received enough complaints that I know this is a real problem that a lot of people are having. They're even leaving negative comments for us in the iTunes store because of it.
Because we've been having trouble reproducing the problem, it's hard to zero in on what's happening. All the complaints I've seen so far seem to be from people using iOS devices and listening through iTunes or the Podcast app.
Is anyone else experiencing these complaints?
The podcast in question is "BackStory with the American History Guys".
Thanks.

You are using Feedpoxy for your media files; your latest episode file has a 301 ('moved permanently) redirect to
http://media.blubrry.com/backstory/backstoryradio.org/files/2012/10/Been-There-D one-That_-Historical-Reenactments.mp3

This sort of thing is asking for trouble with podcasts, and may not be helping, however it does play OK in iTunes: the fact that the issue seems confined to iOS devices, and from your description, suggests that it is the dreaded 'byte-range requests' problem. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhere weren't working on an iPhone.
A Terminal test for this suggests that your server is indeed not accepting byte-range requests: I'm afraid that the only ways out of this are a) ask the people running your server to enable it, or b) find another hosting service and make sure before committing that they can handle this.
To test for this on a Mac, open Terminal and enter curl -I -r 200-300 followed by a space and the full URL of your media file. Success is indicated by lines in the response similar to this:
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 101
Content-Range: bytes 200-300/46077596
This was not in the response to your file.
(Caveat: if you are going to use Terminal, stick to entering exactly what is specified. Don't improvise: you can do a lot of damage very easily. This test is quite safe.)

IPod 60 GB G5 problems with podcasts and Firmware 1.2

Hello,
I have an iPod G5 60GB Video and just installed iTunes 7 and the new Firmware, 1.2. The scanning of all my music (for gapless transition) took a long time but was successful. I updated the firmware on my iPod to 1.2 with no problems and resynced it.
Now, when I play just about any of my podcasts or many of the tracks of music (all MP3 format), the iPod immediately displays the apple logo and resets! I have tried several podcasts that have worked in the past and get the same thing. The Diggnation podcast seems to be the only one I can get to play correctly and some of my MP3s.
Everything worked fine with the previous versions of iTunes and the Firmware. This seems to happen on almost everything, so I can't imagine I am the only one experiencing it. Please help!
- John Cucco

I have heard that Apple does not monitor these forums.
I am having the same problem with a U2 iPod that I bought about 6 weeks ago. After upgrading to firmware version 1.2, I am unable to play several podcasts.
I physically deleted the offending podcasts from disk and re-subscribed and re-downloaded - still no help.
The three I am having problems with are the following (so hopefully people can compare):
* Engadget - MPEG audio file - 64 kbps - 44.100 kHz - Encoded with iTunes v6.0.5
* cnet Buzz Out Loud - MPEG audio file - 64 kbps - 44.100 kHz - Encoded with LAME3.92
* The Popular Mechanics Show - MPEG audio file - 70 kbps (VBR) - 44.100 kHz - Encoded with iTunes v6.0.5
A few that DO work are:
* MacBreak Weekly - AAC audio file - 64 kbps - 44.100 kHz - Encoded with iTunes v6.0.4.2, QuickTime 7.0.4
* CBS News Podcast - Eye To Eye - MPEG audio file - 64 kbps - 22.050 kHz - Encoded with Unknown
* NBC News - Meet the Press - MPEG audio file - 32 kbps - 22.050 kHz - Encoded with Unknown
What's the pattern? I have no idea although it seems that the lower-bitrate MP3s seem to work at 22.050 kHz but not at 44.100 kHz. AACs seem to work fine no matter what the stats are. Maybe by converting the non-working MP3 podcasts to AAC they will work?
I will try that and report back...
Follow-up Re-encoding the non-working podcasts to AAC makes them work so it must be something to do with the way they are encoded e.g. low bitrate. Hopefully apple will release 1.2.1? I really don't want to downgrade as I have already purchased Tetris and it is awesome!

Problems with podcast information

Apologies if all of this is obvious, am very much a novice.
After a few problems, my podcast is finally up on Itunes.
http://www.jilt.org.uk/Podcast/rss_new.txt
Much to my frustration, however, there is:
i) no description
ii) no sub-categories
iii) no image ( this is confusing because the picture DOES emerge when you subscribe to it)
Would really appreciate any help. Is there any way I can address these problems without editing XML? I have done this through Iweb and basically don't have a clue how to edit XML although assume that it isn't impossible!

There's no point in your editing the XML because iWeb will simply over-write any changes you make next time you add an episode. You have to add the description in iWeb itself. There should be a place where you can insert text to appear as the description; and the categories are probably set in the page inspector. However I'm not very familiar with iWeb and I would suggest you ask in the iWeb forum where you can get a response from people who actually use it.

Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hi everybody!
First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,
Marco

Library problems with two XP user accounts accessing music in shared folder

I'm sorry if this has already been answered; I have not been able to find the answer. My wife and I each have a different user account on the same Windows XP machine. I recently combined our iTunes libraries into the shared folder on the computer. I correctly pointed iTunes (in each of our accounts) to the correct location for the music files. I did an "Add Folder to Library" to make sure each account had all of the music. When I did this, I got duplicate listings of all of the songs that also had exclamation points. When I did a "Get Info" on these songs, I found that each song was correctly pointed to the correct file location. I laboriously deleted each "exclamation point" song one at a time (in each account). Now the problem I have is that whenever my wife or I close iTunes and the other person opens iTunes in their XP user account, none of the songs can be found. The best way I've been able to resolve this is to (unfortunately) delete the entire library, and do an "Add Folder To Library" to find all of the song locations and include all of the songs back into the library. Surely this can't be how this is supposed to work.
So, my questions are:
- Do I need to add new albums / songs one at a time to avoid duplicates (rather than use the "Add Folder" for the entire iTunes music folder again)?
- How do I setup iTunes so that my wife and I can each go into iTunes in our seperate XP accounts and have all of our songs right where we left them (WITHOUT having to delete the entire libary and "add" again.)
FYI: I'm using the latest version of iTunes and (again) I'm using Windows XP.
My wife and I really want to each get a new iPod Nano, but if I can't trust iTunes... forget it.
THANKS!!!

I have this setup at working. Two accounts with all files stored on a shared folder, mine is a network drive. Each account has its own library and can access all files. We also use one iTunes account for rare purchases.
This is how did initial setup:
Make a folder in the shared folder. I called mine itunes.
This is where iTunes stores its files.
With second account point iTunes at shared folder.
Import the folder you created earlier.
This worked for me without duplications. The only complication is that when importing from CD with one account the other doesn't know it. The other account must do import on the folder for the CD just imported. We keep track of this with a spreadsheet updated to show which account has which CD files.

Problem with podcast feed on windows 7

Hi
I have had the following podcast working in itunes for over 3 years.
However, a couple of months ago I moved to a new PC with windows 7 and now the downloads start, stop straight away and give a 404 error. However, when I use my old XP pc or Vista laptop the downloads in itunes still work.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/stanway-evangelical-church/id277422426?mt=2
I have even copied the link against one of the podcasts in the itunes store and copied into a new browser. When you then click play in the itunes browser version it plays. So it is not an issue that the podcast does not exist and the server being down.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/6-may-2012-church-at-4/id277422426?i=11599693 1&mt=2
I would be grateful for any insight as it is very annoying.

Thanks

Hhhmmmm! There is definitely a problem.
I've just tried the first link you gave, found the Podcast in iTunes Store and selected Free for the episode of 29th July (which should download the epsiode as a Podcast). Although it looked as though iTunes was downloading it, and gave no error message when it "finished", there is nothing downloaded. (Never seen a failed download but with no error message before!)
I even tried the episode from 8th July, but with the same result. In fact, in both cases, the progress bar went straight from "looking for the episode" to "done" in the iTunes Download section. I even attempted to watch the download in my file manager. The temporary folder is created but no content arrives and eventually the temporary folder is erased.
This is a Podcast problem. Although you managed to play an episode, (in iTunes - I can't), it is a different process to "play" the file as distinct from downloading it as a Podcast episode, so that explains why it can be played in a browser but not downloaded as a Podcast.
I suggest you contact the programme's producers, since it is they who control the Podcast, not iTunes/Apple. I'm sure their first reaction is likely to be that it's an iTunes problem. It may be, (although I doubt it), but as I stated, Apple don't control Podcasts and they will not fault find this one. From previous posts about faulty Podcasts, I know that if the problem is with the iTunes Store, it will still be the producers of the programme who fault find and then report the issue to Apple.

ILife 08- problem with Podcast and Blog links on landing page

Hello I have iLife 08, running OS 10.4.11. The Podcast and Blog links on my iWeb landing page appear but don't do anything. All was working fine one week ago. They load, and when you mouse over it the links looks like they are going to work but don't.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
thanks in advance for your time,
-g-

Hi Chad,
Yes. I had a similar problem. The 1st click on an iTunes hyperlink (i.e. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=97154883 ) occasionally does nothing for me in Safari. And as you described, the 2nd click usually works. I actually didn't notice the Safari window containing the link closing itself. I'll keep an eye out for that.
I'm running iTunes 6.0.2 with 2.0.3. See if running an update changes anything for you.

There is no need to delete the podcast from the Store, but the feed needs substantial re-working: it's not adequate as an iTunes feed - as you see it does display the episodes with descriptions but no image nor author credit.
It's missing the essential declarations at the top, and has no 'itunes' tags, without which you will not see an image in the Store (though as you have images embedded in your media files they appear on subscribing).
This page may be of some help: it includes a sample feed so you can see what it should look like:
http://www.wilmut.org.uk/pc
The second line of your feed needs to read
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
In order to have an image appear in the Store you need the tag
<itunes:image href="URL OF AN IMAGE FOR THE PODCAST" />
and you will see that there are various other itunes tags you need if you want the information enclosed in them to appear in the Store.

"Updating Library" - problem with uploading pictures

I have been trying to upload pictures and when I go into photos it says "updating library" and it's been trying for at least an hour. I've tried uploading only 15 pictures and still nothing. I also have the issue with the size. Do I need to resize before upload? If so how and in what dimensions? Need help!!

Theree is no need to resize photos, the computer will do that before transferring.
Try force quitting the photo app on the iPad by holding the sleep wake button until you see the slide to power off screen. Then hold the home button until you are back at the home screen and try open the photos app again.

Using an NAS drive as the iTunes library (problem with Lacie external hd)

Hi,
I already have my iTunes library on an external hard drive (LaCie 320GB mini Hard Drive & Hub) which I absolutely NOT recommend. The drive goes in sleep mode every now and then and most of the time I have this big 4 sec blank between each song till the drive wakes up again
soooo painful.
Anyway, I am about to buy another external hard drive with an Ethernet interface (+ FTP and samba) Does anyone know a good product? Any problem running the iTunes library over the Ethernet network?
By any chance, if someone know a trick to cut the sleep mode of my external hard drive, that would be great as well.
Thanks!

Alexis, saw your mention of trying to put the iTunes library file on the network, and wondered if you would comment further on why you wanted to do that, and what happened to make it difficult. It sounds like what I'm trying to do.
I have all my music on a USB disk attached to my Airport Extreme base station. I have three Macs in the house - two on a 1G EtherNet and one MacBook on wifi. I would like to have each instance of iTunes use a common library, so that I can access my music from any of the three Macs. It seems that putting the Library file on the networked drive would do what I need, after telling iTunes on each Mac to use that library. Yes? No? Definite maybe? I'd appreciate any information you would share.
