Why can't I play back podcasts like I play back songs?

Not sure if this is the right forum (posting questions seems to have changed for the worse) but no one seems to be able to answer this question! Can I play back individual podcast downloads one after the other without having to go back to the main menu everytime? I play back my podcasts in the car and it gets dangerous everytime I want to move to the next podcast. Why isn't there a setting in Preferences to fix this? It seems so basic! Is there a workaround or do we have to wait for iTunes 7?

Instead of the podcast menu, go through Music -> Genres -> Podcast -> All -> pick your podcast show (album). Most podcasts are tagged such that they will play in order, oldest to newest, when started from this route. <hr width="90%" align="left">

HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Hi UI Guy,
I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
Cheers,
GB

Why can't I get live streaming video to play

Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

HT204088 Why can't you print a cd jewel case listing of songs using iTunes. Is there some other way of doing this without using iTunes?

Why can't you print a cd jewel case listing of songs using iTunes. Is there some other way to do this without using iTunes?

Hi spider1950,
As long as you have the most recent update of iTunes (11.0.4), you should be able to print a jewel case insert directly from iTunes. You may find the following page useful:

Why can't I do cumulative edits, like in iPhoto 6?

I've just bought a new iMac (Core i5) running the latest iPhoto (9). It has some useful improvements over iPhoto 6 which was the previous version I used, but one thing has gone - I can't do cumulative edits any more.
In v6, I could sharpen a soft picture 100% then navigate away so iPhoto saved my edit. Then I could go back into that photograph, click Edit again, and all the sliders would be reset to their default zero settings. I could then add more sharpening to the picture, get iPhoto to save it, return if necessary, sharpen more, and so on. This was a godsend where an edit needed to applied more than once.
Now, I can't do that any more. When iPhoto saves my edit and I go back into that photo, the sliders are where I left them!!!! I can't ever apply more than 100% sharpening to a picture. That *****, really bad.
Why did they change that? It seems so unnecessary. The Revert to Original was always there, and it still is - so why can't I apply cumulative edits now?

But this allows you to unsharpen without having to go back to scratch.
It is not a question of treating you like a grownup, it is a question of preventing JPEG artifacts. In the old way, you had to continually re-JPEG the image, losing quality and detail with each editing pass. Now it always starts fresh with the master.
But I am not the engineer, so I don't know if this was a conscious choice or a result of CoreImage.
I don't ever want to unsharpen (i.e. blur). And even if I did, that was possible pre-iPhoto9 by sliding the slider into the negative band from its midway position. It's extremely difficult to oversharpen in iPhoto, even cumulatively, as the control (IMO) is usually superior to Adobe's.
I found iPhoto 6 (and now iPhoto 9) had subtle, but high quality edit controls. The chances of JPEG artefacts - at any rate from a keen amateur photographer like me - were around zero.
I believe that what I wanted could have been implemented with a simple Preferences choice :
O Maintain edit slider positions even after Save (non-destructive editing)
O Reset edit sliders to default positions after Save (destructive editing)
That would have made everyone happy. Now, for those pictures which need cumulative sharpening (admittedly, a small number), I may as well do everything in Elements.

Why can't Apple TV stream movies like the iTunes store can?

I'm in the UK with an Apple TV 2nd Gen. 9Mb/s broadband speed checked and have conclusively failed to rent one single movie since I bought this a year ago. Every time I log in, select the film, purchase it, hit play and all I get is "connection error please try later" Playing movie trailers and everything else is fine. Surely the point of renting a movie online is so you can watch it straight away. Lovefilm works just fine via my PS3.
The other day I tried again on Apple TV with the same error so figured I'd try and rent the movie direct from iTunes Store on my laptop, hey presto, 2 mins later I'm watching my film via my Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV.
So the big question is: Why can not Apple TV stream a movie like the iTunes Store can? Of course I appreciate that a certain amount of buffering has to happen but that is never evident on Apple TV.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.

Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port
Type
Protocol
Used By
80
TCP

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

Why can't I reset my trial like you offered?

I got this email from you stating that you had reset the clock on trial versions - http://view.mail.adobesystems.com/?j=fec716787d61047c&m=fe9d157073640c7e75&ls=fe2215797363 037e731072&l=ff971272&s=fe2315727261077f7d1c78&jb=ff3715737467&ju=fe8f167474600c787d&r=0
There is no update button on the Creative Cloud, and when I try to uninstall and reinstall the creative cloud, it still says my trial has expired. I tried contacting customer support, but they won't help since it's an issue with the trial.
Other people have asked this question on the forum and no one has helped. Why send an offer if you aren't going to back it up?

Hi Davis,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
In addition to what Rajesh mentioned, I would like to add that :
Adobe reset the trial experience for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Muse CC only. This reset allows anyone who previously used a trial of these software titles to evaluate the software title for an additional 30 days.
Sign out using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Then, sign back in. If signing out and back in does not resolve the issue, I would suggest you to use the software on a different computer.
The announcement for resetting of the trial was in January, but yes right now it is not working for few of them.
The engineering Team has been informed about it & they are yet to provide any timeframe for the resolution.
As of now the issue is being looked upon & is under investigation.(I have personally escalated cases for investigation)
Regards,
Rajshree

Why can't I set up Webmail like I did on my MacBook?

It's easy to add Web Mail to my MAC. Why can't I do the same on my iPad? I know I can get to it through the browser but I would like to have it in my mail application just like I do gmail and verizon.

Well, nobody here is going to know the settings you need for your work email account. You've got to ask the IT people at work for the settings.
You stlll haven't said what type of email account it is.
There are usually only 4 settings you need to setup an email account:
username
password
incoming mail server
outgoing mail server
the iPad doesn't ask for anything different. But when adding an account, you need to know what type it is.
If you can't work out the settings yourself, why don't you sync the mail settings from your Mac to the iPad using iTunes? It's under Sync Mail Accounts in the Info tab after clicking on your iPad.

Why can I no longer download podcasts to my iPhone with Podcast 2.1?

Podcast 2.1 automatically updated on my iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.1. After the update, I can no longer download podcasts to my iPhone via WiFi and my downloaded podcasts from iTunes do not sync and transfer to my iPhone. Also, if I try to listen while downloading it only plays for a minute and crashes. Why would Apple release such a bad update that makes the Podcast app not work at all!?

I am having the opposite problem. Even though downloads are off in the settings, it refuses to stop trying to download new podcasts. I prefer to manage it through iTunes, but the app insists on doing it all itself now. It is unusable for my purposes in this state.
At first I thought I was really going to like this update.

Why can't I manually transfer podcasts onto ipod?

I have an ipod classic, and I'm trying to move selected podcasts onto it by clicking and dragging.
It looks like it should work, but nothing goes onto my ipod. If I add the podcasts to a playlist and then add the playlist, then I can get the podcasts to move onto the ipod, but does anyone know why I can't do it the normal way?
I don't want to sync all my episodes as then I'll lose most of them because they're from another computer that died.

This seems very similar (if not identical) to my issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725691&tstart=0
Has Apple removed the ability to manually select and delete individual Podcasts on your iPod via iTunes? And if so, why on earth would they do that? It can't be a "feature" can it?
I don't want to have to delete Podcast episodes from my harddrive/iTunes library simply to delete them from my iPod; I maintain a large library of Podcasts, and I like to manually move them to the iPod when I feel like listening to them in the car or whatever, and deleting them later (from the iPod only, not from iTunes).
I'm about ready to downgrade back to iTunes 6...

Where is the actual support for Adobe business Catalyst? Why can't I just phone someone like other software companies?

I am concerned by the 'non help' , customer service platitudes available to me as a customer. I was left 3 minutes to go through auto call filtration to be told that there is no-one to speak to. I am a new customer, clearly I have a different view of what customer service is. I wonder what exec has ever tested this? Anyone in their right mind could see that this is just plain poor and unacceptable.
No a great start, as we stand I will not be recommending this platform within my business community which amounts to 30 companies because I am nervous they will receive the same shoddy service.
Don't worry though, I only have a security breach and need urgent help.

Because they are a large US corporation that doesn't really want to talk to customers one on one. They hide behind call-centers and help sites that are hard to use. It's just better for the bottom line and no one person (or very few) knows enough to give you a useful answer. This is not just an Adobe problem. But large corporations generally suck at service. It's not good enough - but what are you going to do. That said we've had reasonable success with the online chat service - just takes days rather than minutes to get satisfactory answers.
You know it goes like this:-
"What seems to be the problem?",
You " I have this problem, I can't find information on X, Ca the BC do this?"
"Please wait while I check (consults documentation - probably the same docs we can see)"
You "hello",
"One sec",
"I don't seem to be able to find that, can you file a support ticket",
You "Can't you do that now for me?"
"Ok I can do that, your support ticket is this xxxx, but we'll email you. We'll come back to you with an answer later",
You "Thanks".
"Is there any thing else we can help you with today?",
You "No Thanks, just the question please".
15 minutes may have passed by this time, you have no useful answer (typically) and will have to wait 1 to 2 days for an answer (typically) and this is often "No sorry we don't support that right now".
This is typical, so generally we contact support as a last resort only. Google usually has better answers. But then this is what Adobe and most Large Software companies/Corporations want. You almost never get to talk to the "Horses mouth", a manager with clout, the product designer or developer.
We design, build and manage brand experiences for a number of large enterprises, personally we always recommend that these customers set up their support with real phone numbers and email along with contact forms (which I personally hate). In my mind typically you can deal with support matters in the fraction of the time if you can talk to someone directly who knows the product. A good telephone receptionist is 100 times more efficient than any call center (no matter what call center companies and software vendors tell you - the numbers lie). It means Happier customers. Better feedback to those who make the decisions.
Better all round. But usually companies don't see it that way. Managers want remove themselves as far as possible from customers everyday problems and let an underling or "the system" deal with it.
Maybe that's why few humans actually like dealing with large faceless corporations - yet we do, we put up with it - because they can get away with it.
