Updating your podcast question....
I am trying to use the "ping" method after updating my podcast, as stated here http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html,
in hopes that it would quickly update my podcasts on iTunes. How long is it supposed to take to update?
It varies -- the update is instant, but it may take several hours for the update to appear on site, as the cache for that page is refreshed on the servers.
If it's taken longer than that, make sure your feed is working properly and validates with http://www.feedvalidator.org. Failure to update after a ping usually indicates a problem with the feed, if the update doesn't appear within a day or so.
Good luck

"Itunes has stopped updating your podcast" message -- is there away around?
When new podcasts are downloaded into Itunes, I transfer them straight to my ipod. I don't play them in Itunes.
As a result, I have to tell Itunes that I DO want to continue downloading new files - for every podcast to which I subscribe, on a recurring basis.
Seems to me that transferring the file shows signs of interest - same as playing.
Is there a way to set Itunes to treat a transfer to the ipod the same as playing it?You're right, there is no way to turn off this asinine, infuriating feature. It's this kind of thing that drove me away from Windows and made me so happy when I got a Mac. I felt like I didn't have to fight the Windows Big Brother anticipating my needs and only allowing me to do things in a way that Windows wanted me to.
Anyways, there is a partial solution, although its pretty sad compared to how easy it would be if Apple included a little checkbox in the options menu that said "Do you want iTunes to stop downloading your podcasts if you listen to them in any other way than on iTunes, even if you listen to them on your (Apple) iPod?". Go to http://www.dougscripts.com and check out the NeedleDrop script. It will let you automatically play 1 second or so of each podcast in your directory. You can then tell iTunes to update your podcasts and it will retrieve all of them, as it should anyways. One downside is that you'll have to run the NeedleDrop script every so often to update the playcount of your podcasts. Another downside, if you're a Windows user, is that the AppleScript will only work on Mac.
As a tangent (read "rant"), iTunes is becoming really annoying lately. For starters, the interface has been looking more and more repulsively Windows-esque for the last few versions. Just recently, when I updated to the latest version of iTunes, it took me a week or so to delete the previous version because there was an application called "iTunes Helper" that wouldn't close. It didn't appear in the list of processes on my computer. Finally I found that it was a startup item in my list of startup programs. After disabling it, I was finally able to delete the old version of iTunes. Now iTunes doesn't update my podcasts if I don't listen to them in a way that iTunes deems fit. What is going on? Ugly interface, hidden processes, uncontrollable "features". Is Apple outsourcing their development to Microsoft or something? -
When downloading apps I am asked for my apple ID which works but I can't get past the security questions. Then when I ask to reset the questions it sends an email to a rescue email address that no longer exists. Does anybody know where I can reset this email address?
On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account. Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side. You should see an option to reset your security questions.
Also see this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312.
If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly at 1 800 692 7753. Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions. -
Valid Purchase Date claims to find and upgrade your device. Why when stolen cant they find it????
All the thief has to do is turn off your location services and the you can not track it, even with the new update you can lock your iCloud but you still can't lock the location services. Thief throws the useless apple device away because you erase and lock your device, and you are out $300 - $3000 cause you still can't track your device!

How do you update all of your podcasts at one time using the new iTunes 7?
With the old iTunes, I could manually click "update podcasts" at the top right, and it would check all of my podcasts. How do you do that in iTunes 7 without having to click each one? I would like to manually update the podcasts at one time.

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened . .
I found an archived article from two years ago: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8453115 and have found subsequent articles talking about outboard solutions that I have tried and do not work. The problem continues to this day. Why doesn't Apple just fix this themselves?
Exact text of the message, as if it is a mystery: iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.creativestuff wrote:

Although you may not like the way it's set up, Apple appears to have done this deliberately and therefore does not consider it broken. I suspect that they do it that way to conserve bandwidth.

My Podcast hoster is gone...so how do I update my podcast?
Greetings.
My podcast was hosted thru rizz.net or blipmedia. I haven't updated in a while, but now it appears that rizz.net is gone.
So: how can I add a new podcast to my "oeuvre" without starting an entirely new podcast and submitting to itunes for review?
thank you!Hi lroom, welcome to the discussions.
Normally you put this in your podcast's rss xml code right below the <channel> tag:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://yourserver_here/your_new_feedhere</itunes:new-feed-url>
But it sounds like your host is gone, so that won't work. You could try writing them and explain the situation, giving them your old feed location and the new feed location.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/podcast/
You'll probably just need to submit a new feed to the iTMS.
Hope this answers your question. -
Hello,
I've got a several baffling issues with my podcast.
First is that it has stopped updating. The last episode that appears is from LAST Friday and I have published 2 episodes since then.(I've waited for it to update for 3 days now ... and it suddenly does, 30seconds after I posted this question! The other questions still stand though)
The second is that when I double click on an episode from the list that appears in iTunes ... my show doesn't play. The same action will make other people's podcast play but just not mine.
Third thing I'm wondering about is why my podcast doesn't appear in the iTunes top page when I search for my main keyword (NASCAR)? If I search for that word and then click on the "podcast" link I can find it but it doesn't appear on the main page search with other podcasts that have that keyword.
Finally, how long should it take to hear from iTunes after I submitt my podcast? My podcast was submitted 15 days ago.
The iTunes URL is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=250042741
Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)So although I never had any answers to my post I have continued to work on these issues and I have an update.
I've got a several baffling issues with my podcast.
First is that it has stopped updating.
As I mentioned previously, after a few days this fixed itself as mysteriously as it started.
The second is that when I double click on an episode
from the list that appears in iTunes ... my show
doesn't play. The same action will make other
people's podcast play but just not mine.
I had heard from someone else who had apparently just updated their feed and was now suffering from this as well. I am wondering if it has something to do with the podcast not being "fully" implemented in iTunes yet?
Third thing I'm wondering about is why my podcast
doesn't appear in the iTunes top page when I search
for my main keyword (NASCAR)? If I search for that
word and then click on the "podcast" link I can find
it but it doesn't appear on the main page search with
other podcasts that have that keyword.
OK - I am working on the theory that iTunes mainpage search does NOT look at your "key words" list or even your podcast description. Instead it looks at the first 4 or 5 words of the description of your individual episodes!
I had "NASCAR" in both my keywords and "description" yet it didn't turn up. HOWEVER, when I did a main page search for "NEXTEL" my podcast showed up!!! "Nextel" was in the individual description of my last three episodes.
So, I have gone back and changed my individual descriptions for all of my episodes to include the word NASCAR. If I can ever get iTunes to update the descriptions we'll see if this does the trick!
Finally, how long should it take to hear from iTunes
after I submitt my podcast? My podcast was submitted
15 days ago.
The iTunes URL is
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/view
Podcast?id=250042741
Still no e-mail confirmation from iTunes.
I have read that this might take 7 to 10 days. It's 17 days and counting for me.
As always ... any helps or hints will be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Techies:
I just want to ask if do you know how to ping a podcast? Say, I have a new podcast episode published and I want to notify or ping Podcast directories that I have just updated or published a new episode..
Do you have any idea how?
I appreciate your reply
Thank youThe facility to ping the iTunes Store to get your podcast updated was withdrawn some time back: I'm not convinced that it ever worked anyway. I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting until the Store gets round to checking your feed for updates: this usually takes 1-2 days.

Many Ways to Update Your Firmware
The reasons for a firmware update differ from printer to printer, however the instructions listed on the website are basically the same. Some firmware updates are required to resolve a specific issue, others enhance features but are not required. You will often find a list for what the firmware enhances or fixes listed on your product's support website under the firmware's download link (continue reading for more information).
One method to determine if your product is up-to-date is to print a Printer Status Report or test report within the printer's setup menu which should indicate which firmware version the printer currently has. Next, go to the printer's support website at www.support.hp.com and type in your product name to look under the drivers' section in order to see if your firmware version matches the most recent one found on the website.
I have found a very useful tool to help you find out, not only if your product is in need of a firmware update, but also it will locate the serial number, product number, your current operating system and system type as well as the warranty status.
--Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Google Chrome)--
--Automatically find HP Updates using HP Product Detection Utility (Internet Explorer)--
If you have ePrint functionality on your printer or a web-services menu within the front panel, in the ePrint settings, clicking Product Updates can quickly install the firmware, however, from a personal perspective, I would recommend ensuring the printer is connected via USB or Ethernet to avoid risk of the update being interrupted as this can cause permanent damage to the printer, rendering it useless. This method may inform you no product updates are available so it is good practice to use my example above to be certain. Lastly, this will only work if your printer is connected to the network (Ethernet or wireless).
To update your firmware from your printer (these instructions were taken from the Officejet 6500A Plus):
"For easier use, HP recommends installing the firmware update through the product control panel instead of downloading the firmware update from this page. If your product is connected though a network (Wireless or Ethernet), you can easily and quickly install the firmware update directly through the product control panel. You must have an active Internet connection.
If you choose to download the firmware update from this page, your product must be connected through a USB connection.
Follow these steps to install the firmware update through the product control panel:
1. On the product control panel, touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
2. Touch Setup, and then touch the Down Arrow to display the Web Services Setup Menu.
3. Touch Web Services Setup.
4. Touch the Down Arrow to select Product Updates.
5. Touch Check for Product Updates."
Using the downloaded version from the website will ensure a secure connection and will require a PC. You will find, your operating system will determine the type of firmware update you receive at the website. That is why the above suggestion may work in some instances but not all.
To update your firmware from your PC:
Initial Step: go to www.hp.com/support and select the region you live in. Under the Drivers and Download Tab, type in the name or model number of your printer and press enter. Next, you will need to know the operating system of your device you intend to use to install the firmware update. Click here to discover your operating system.
Firmware Update Instructions (these instructions were taken from the LaserJet P1102w):
"*Please use a 2 meter (6 foot) USB High speed (2.0) cable.
1.Download the firmware update utility file to your desktop. Double click on the file.
2. Select the printer(s) you want to update from the list.
3. Click on the "Update All" or "Update One" button in the dialog window.
4. Following the on-screen instruction to proceed the upgrade. During the printer firmware update, the printer's LEDs will begin flashing.
5. Do NOT power cycle the printer or the PC during this process, or the printer may become unstable and/or unusable without further attention from HP. The firmware update can take several minutes to complete. Please be patient.
6. To verify the update, a configuration page can be printed. The configuration page will display the current firmware revision in the product information section.
Notes: If the firmware was already up to date, firmware was not altered. Otherwise, the Utility will display a dialog box at the conclusion of the successful firmware download indicating the download is complete."
LaserJet utilities are different than the common smaller printers. It is best to contact HP Support for assistance if you are not able to understand the difference by visiting the printer's business support website. Large printers can come in such an array of setup options, from servers to software, what may apply to one setup may not apply to another yet it could contain the same printer. If you have a commercial product, you may find additional assistance at the HP Enterprise Business Community which is an HP forum specific to those kinds of models.
I feel certain I just do not have enough bandwidth to go into even a general perspective on the different specifications of how to update the firmware of your commercial product.
To update your firmware through the EWS: Some models allow you to update the device through what is called the embedded web server (EWS). You can access this page of your printer by setting up the printer on a network (Wireless or Ethernet connection) and typing in the established IP address of it into the address bar of a web-browser (example: http:\192.168.1.101).
Click here to view a forum post on how to update your printer through its EWS.
System Requirements: Ultimately no additional prerequisites are needed beyond what I have explained above. You are required to have already installed the software specific to your printer for most firmware updates though. Once you click on the firmware update link provided at the website, you will see which operating systems it applies to, however, some updates are not needed for all operating systems. For example, a software patch may be a critical update for a computer running XP but would have no affect on a computer with Windows 8 or Mac.
I have provided this information in order to explain a few of the techniques used to update your printer to its fullest capacity. However, I have found through experience it is good practice to have an HP technician on the phone to assist you with this. Sometimes the worse has happened in regards to power outages, "blips" in the network, or just bad luck and this step has caused the printer to go into a state that it cannot return from. The terminology used to possibly revert back to a state prior to the firmware update is called "flashing the firmware" and this is only done via phone support and isn't a guaranteed fix.
I do hope you find this information useful as this is a question I have seen many times on the forums. This is simply a summary of the many ways to update your firmware in case one of the methods above are not working. For a more specific description, access the firmware link you are trying to update and read it carefully or click here to link to another forum post.

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?
Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions?
I've had my IPad for about 2 years now and I have bought a lot of apps since but all of a sudden it asks me to answer my security questions whenever i try to buy an app! I click the link to the apple Id page and it says resend security information to my email. apparently the end of my email ends with yahoo.com and whenever I log on to that it's yahoo.ca and I cannot find the email with the instructions to change my security questions!! So please me as this has never occurred before! How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions? And can you somehow purchase apps without answering your security questions because I just put 25 dollars onto my apple id and I don't want it to go to waste! Please help me!
You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast?
How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast? Is that done in iWeb or Garagetunes?
That is a supported format,
Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min,
see if the problem is fixed,
If not we may have to reload the device OS to get back the missing option.
Thanks,

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share... -
Hi there.
I got this massage, om my ipad in the Adobe viewer - after updating the software from the DPS homepage.
"Please update your App
This issue is available for download but requires a newer version of the app. Please update your app from the App store"
This Adobe Viewer is not ready now at itunes. So i installe version 1.7 from 11/15/2011 from the Adobe Download site.
Now the Folie Builder say "An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download the Folio Producer tools."
So my question is : Will it be posible to create Folies that work and how do i get around the "An update is required" ?
TonnyThanks Bob. It's just upsetting, in that I've done my work, finished
everything on time, only to be let down by technology at the end, and also,
the advertising clients don't make life very easy, which in turn means the
sales people are standing over me. I've lost a day n the other publication
due next week, so I've just lost my weekend. It's also embarrassing because
I can't work out the problem, so I can't fix it.
Thanks for helping me today Bob.
I just tried the whole process from scratch and was unsuccessful. I'll be in
over the weekend to catch up on my other work, so I'll maybe try everything
again, again.
