Why can't my mp3 files be downloaded from my website?

Hello there,
I am creating a HTML website for a client and they want a 'podcast' page with a listing of their podcasts. The idea is that the viewer can click on the link on the web page and have a choice of either listening to the podcast streamed through the website or they can download it to put on an ipod if they want. The trouble is that when I click on the link, I can only listen to the mp3 files streamed. Normally when I upload a file, e.g. a PDF file, it can be downloaded when its link is clicked on. Am I doing something wrong? I need a 'download' option too.
I've read about RSS feeds and find it terribly confusing and can't find a clear, simple explanation anywhere on how to do it.
My webpage is: http://alfierobertsinstitute.ca/podcasts.html
(It's still a mess as it's a work in progress.)
I would really appreciate some help or advice regarding my problem.
PS. The podcasts are not embedded in my HTML. I have them uploaded in a separate Podcast folder on my server space.
Thank you in advance.
Martha

Look at this RSS example. View source. It's an XML file with a list of audio files. You can subscribe to the feed and have it saved to iTunes etc...for import into iPod, or Live Bookmarks, or Browser bookmarks or some other RSS aggregator on your PC.
Or you can click on individual links to launch your player.

My suggestion is to provide options for as many users as possible. Not everyone has an iPod, not everyone has Flash player capability.

I would like to create a list of MP3 files to download from a MUSE web site.

I have the honour of creating web site for our church.
We would like to publish the ministers sermons on the web (audio files to download).
How do I do this in Muse, or is it not possible and should use another web site creating software to do this?
Is there an add-on which I could purchase which would help?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Ossydoc,
You can use Muse to create such a website. All you need to do is, create links in Muse for the sermons and select " link to File " in the hyperlink option and link to those Mp3 files.
Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/4xvdup
Now, when you publish your site, Muse would automatically upload those files onto the server and the users would then be able to listen as well as download those sermons using the links on your site.
Hope this helps

Why can't I import files into iTunes from my computer?

I can't import a file but i've tried every method of adding file to library and drag and drop and nothing has worked. I have the lastest version of iTunes.

Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

Can't open pdf files after downloading from Safari 6.0.5

I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this bug. Ihave a retina MBP with Safari and Firefox. If I save a pdf to the desktop via Safari I get the following message when I try to open it "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
When I download the same file via Firefox, it opens no problem.
It would, therefore seem to be a Safari 6.0.5 pdf problem, rather than an Adobe Acrobat Pro (11.0.3).
I have tried with both extension displayed and not displayed options, no difference.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks for reading.

I encountered the same problem. In my case, the culprit was a plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins sub-folder of my User Account's Library folder.
Here's how I proceeded, based on a suggestion by Carolyn Samit here:
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5117605?start=0&tstart=0>
1. Open the Finder.
2. In the Finder menu bar, click on the heading Go. Scroll down to "Go to Folder," and then click the mouse button again.
3. Copy the following phrase:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
and then paste that phrase into the field in the navigation window that appeared at the end of Step 2.
3. Click Go.
4. If you find a plug-in named AdobePDFViewer.plugin, drag it to the Trash.
5. Quit and then relaunch Safari. Then try to load in Safari a PDF from a web site. Then try saving it. Once saved/downloaded, try opening the PDF.
When I followed this procedure, the corrupted-PDF problem went away, thanks to Ms. Samit's suggestion.

Why can I not move files in LR from 1 HDD to another

Hi there.
LR 4
I need to move a bunch of pictures located in different sub-folders on Drive C: to my new 2Tb Drive D:
I try to move it in LR via the import function with MOVE. But, they are all greyed out (not selectable) and when I try to move 1-by-1 by right-clicking on a picture, a message is displayed telling me that the picture is already in the catalogue. I know it is already in the catalogue. All I need to do is to move it to another HDD.
How would you do this? I have just thought of deleting all files in the catalogue and import them then, but it just does not feel right.
Your suggestions will be very valueble.

Do you see your new @TB drive D in LR? If yes, create a new folder there as John said. In Grid View on the left side is the folders panel. You create the new folder in the folders panel. Right-click where it says "D:" and select <Create folder inside D:>.
Then still in the folders panel drag-and-drop the folders from your old drive C to the new folder you just created on drive D.
But as John advised make a backup of your catalog first. Go >Edit>Catalog Settings and at the bottom of the General tab select <Every time Lr exits>. Then close Lr and the backup dialog will appear. Choose a location for your backup - maybe your new external drive and create the backup. Lr will close down after that. Re-open Lr and do the move of the folders as described above.
PS: Do NOT use the import function. You said "is it on the right side?" No! that's in the Import dialog. Cancel import and go to Grid View. the folders panel is on the left side there.

Can Acrobt XI fillable forms be downloaded from a website

I just installed Acrobat XI. I want to have a filliable order form for my customers. Can forms created in FormsCenetral be used like forms in Acrobat X? Can I place them on my website with a link on a webpage for my customers to download, fill in, and return? Thanks. Jim

They can if you save them as PDFs (File > Save As PDF Form). You can of couse create forms in Acrobat 11 just as you could with previous versions.
For Reader users, the forms will have to be Reader-enabled with Acrobat (File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools) so that they can be saved. Reader 11, however, is able to save a non-enabled form.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information such as bookmarks and history.
Note: ''But this will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can't hear mp3 files or audio in Firefox 26

My system automatically upgraded to the latest version of Firefox 26 on Windows 7 and since it upgraded, I cannot hear any audio files -- either mp3 or ogg. If I try to simply open an mp3 file in Firefox, I see a player and watch the progress of the playback, but I hear nothing.
I believe I've been through every article in Firefox support about playing audio and video and what to do if you don't hear an mp3 in Firefox. None of it has changed anything.
I found the Firefox options for MP3 that give me the choice of "Always Ask", "Use QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4' and "Use Windows Media Player (default)" and have tried both QuickTime Plugin choice and Windows Media Player choice and it has no affect. I SEE the playback, but don't hear it. I use the volume slider in the playback window, but it has no affect. I can hear these mp3 files when I play them in IE or Chrome, so what is the matter?
mp3 files used to play for me. But in the last few days I believe both Firefox and QuickTime versions have upgraded and now I can't get it to work.
Very frustrating.

I changed the media.windows-media-foundation.enabled pref to false, opened a new Firefox and...... '''I CAN HEAR SOUNDS AGAIN'''
THANKS!!!!
Should I ask why the heck I needed to do that and how the heck I should have known to do that? Or should I just stop at 'Thank you' and move on with my life (leaning towards the latter).

You should not install it again..
Boot the computer into safe mode and try the uninstall again.
No luck you will have to manually uninstall which is a pain. Delete the files and open regedit and delete the registry entries.. better still use the system restore to go back to a previous system where you had no 4.2 installed..
Or just ignore it and install the latest 5.6.1 and if it gives trouble well do a clean install of windows.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.

Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 files in a pdf document- says the required decoder not installed

Adobe reader XI can't open mp3 file links contained in a pdf - it says the required decoder is not installed
please help!

This is not a function of Reader, but that your computer does not seem to be configured to play mp3 files. Try fixing your file associations. The method of doing so depends upon your OS and it version number.

I think I figured it out. I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine. Whoop Whoop. Thanks for your help.
