Will I lose our subscribers if I move our podcast from Mobileme to GoDaddy?

We currently publish a podcast to Mobileme. Our podcast has a large number of subscribers that we have built up over the past few years.
Problem is that our podcast is constantly being disabled on Mobileme because we are exceeding bandwidth limits and we need to move to a new hosting company (ie. Godaddy).
If we move to a third party hosting company, will this cause us to lose our current subscribers?
Can someone please advise?

Thank you for this information. I have read it and still have some questions, as I know virtually nothing about how RSS works.
The instructions say that I should "use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below. The tag will cause the iTunes Store to be updated with the new feed URL, as well as all iTunes client versions that support podcasting".
My questions are:
1. Where can I find my RSS feed? I went into my iDisk > Web > Podcast, where I found a file called "rss.xml". Is this my RSS file? Or should I be looking somewhere else? I use iWeb and don't know where to find it.
2. To be clear, I am only inserting these words: "<itunes:new-feed-url>" into the RSS feed. Nothing more. I don't need to give the name of new hosting company or anything like that? That being so, how does iTunes find where the media files are located?
3. How do I upload the new RSS feed? Do I "Publish Site Changes" in iWeb, or does iTunes find the RSS feed all on it's own?
Sorry to sound like sound so ignorant, I just find this very complicated and I don't want to lose our subscribers.

Move Podcast from MobileMe to GoDaddy

I know similar questions like this have already been asked. I've read the various discussion and answers. I think I know what I need to do, but I want to confirm it here on the boards. A mistake could very well cost me listeners.
I have moved my site (created with iWeb) from MobileMe to GoDaddy. Both sites are still live. Now, I want to change the RSS code on my MM site to point subscriptions to the GD site. Here is what I understand (thanks to reading Roger Wilmut's info at http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move):
1. In the RSS code (MM site), I need to add the following line of code: <itunes:new-feed-url>NEW URL FOR YOUR FEED</itunes:new-feed-url>
2. This code needs to be added between the "channel" tag the first "item" tag. My first question is: should it be right below the channel and BEFORE the <title> info?
3. Now, here is the big question: what exactly should I put in for the NEW URL? My MM and GD site / podcast information is below.
MOBILEME SITE: http://web.me.com/markandjill/SW_Miniverse/Welcome.html
MOBILEME PODCAST: http://web.me.com/markandjill/SW_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniver se.html
GODADDY SITE: http://www.swminiverse.com
GODADDY POSCAST: http://www.swminiverse.com/SW_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse. html
Any help is greatly appreciated!! I think I know what to enter for the NEW URL, but I want to make sure I don't make a mistake. Thank you!

I'm glad you checked, because it looks as if you were about to paint yourself into a corner. You've quoted the web pages for the two versions of the podcast: what matters are the feeds.
The original, MobileMe, feed is at
http://web.me.com/markandjill/SW_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse/rss.xml
The Godaddy feed is at
http://www.swminiverse.com/SW_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse/rss.xml
Since iWeb doesn' provide for adding the tag, you are going to do it manually. Please follow these instructions very carefully.
Mount your iDisk on the Desktop (command-shift-i). Open the Web folder, then within that the Sites, folder, then the markandjill folder, then the SW_Miniverse folder, then the Star_Wars_Miniverse folder and locate the rss.xml file. Drag this to the Desktop to download it.
Now open this file in Text edit in PLAIN TEXT mode (not Rich Text which is often the default). Three lines down you will see the <channel> tag. Make a new line beneath this, reading:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.swminiverse.com/SW_Miniverse/Star_Wars_Miniverse/rss.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
All one line, no returns within it, and I should copy this line to make sure you get it absolutely right.
Save the file as rss.xml - TextEdit will offer to add .txt on the end - don't allow this.
Drag the file to the Star_Wars_Miniverse folder on the iDisk, replacing the existing one. Leave it severely alone for at least two weeks. Do not publish anything from iWeb to the iDisk or you will over-write it.
You can check that it's worked; go to your iTunes Store page at
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/star-wars-miniverse/id326698031
Click the Subscribe button below the image. Go to the Podcasts section: control-click on the line with the podcast name (not an episode) and choose 'Copy Podcast URL'. Paste this into TextEdit - you should see the GoDaddy URL. It will take the Store page a few days to catch up. Subscribers will be automatically redirected to the new feed.

Will I lose subscribers if I move podcast from Mobileme to Go Daddy?

We have built up our podcast subscribers over the past few years to the point that we are having bandwidth issues housing it on our mobileme account (even with the extra 400GB).
We are now forced to move the podcast to a third party host, but I am concerned we may lose our subscribers in the process.
I set up a personal domain on Mobileme for our podcast sometime ago, ie. it now points to www.rushhourradio.net, even though it is hosted on Mobileme.
Our current RSS feed includes our domain URL:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.rushhourradio.net/christopherlawrence_rushhour/Podcast/rss.xml</itunes:new-feed-url>
Since the RSS feed already points to our domain, does this mean that I can publish the site to Godaddy for hosting without losing any subscribers?
Please help, I'm very nervous about making any changes and losing our subscribers. Thanks!

The iTunes Store is using the feed at
http://www.rushhourradio.net/christopherlawrence_rushhour/Podcast/rss.xml
I assume that this is the new feed to which you wanted to move the podcast? If so then the move has taken effect.
This feed contains an 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag but it redirects to itself and so is redundant. If in fact this feed is the old feed then you need to amend the tag to contain the URL for the new feed.
According to Apple's Tech Note:
'The tag will cause the iTunes Store to be updated with the new feed URL, as well as all iTunes client versions that support podcasting.'
So once the redirect has taken place and subscribers have had time to get their own copy of iTunes updates (which may not happen until they download a new episode, so you should post at least one new episode to both feeds before removing the old feed) then everyone should be using the new feed.
They also suggest you should set the server to do a 301 redirect for requests to the old feed. If the old feed is on your iDisk this is unlikely to be possible.

Will I lose my gallery of photos if I upgrade from my Lightroom 3 to creative cloud for photographers?

I bought Lightroom 3 a few years ago and love it! I'm looking to purchase Photoshop as well which makes the photographer package work best for me at $9.99/month.
Will I lose my gallery of photos on my account when I upgrade to the CC?
Is it possible to download both applications on more than one device (desktop, laptop, and tablet)? That would be great for my busy lifestyle.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure what the account is with the gallery of photos on so hard to say.
You certainly won't lose anything you currently have edited with LR3. When you first open your old LR3 catalogue with the new version you'll be asked to upgrade the catalogue so it's compatible with LR5 but you'll still have the old catalogue too should you wish to go back to LR3.
The CC licence allows you to have the software on two devices. Unless the tablet is an iPad in which case you can also LR Mobile on it as part of the Photographer's CC package too. You can't use the full versions of LR on three platforms on one CC licence though, no.

Will I Lose My Playlists and Songs if I Switch From Premium to Free?

I have a quick question. I am quitting my payments for Spotify Premium... When I do this and go back to the normal, free version of Spotify, will my account change and will I lose all of my songs/ playlists that I made when I had Premium subscription?

Hey there , welcome to the community!
Nope, you won't lost any music content when you cancel your subscription! All your music content will be safe and sound. :)

HT201260 Build 9L31a what do I do to move to icloud from mobileme

Hi, I am trying to move from mobileme to icloud. I do not know if I can with my current MAC OS X version. I have 10.5.8 with Build 9L31a.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

You can't get full iCloud support, but you can view it on the Web, & you can setup Mail to work.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

I can't move my podcasts from ipod to itunes playlist

I can't seem to move the podcasts that I have on my ipod to a named playlist in itunes.

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software such as the one below to get the job done. Keep in mind that your photos will no longer be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down thumbnail versions that were optimized for viewing on your iPod.

How do I move my photos from mobileme to my events folder?

How do I move my photos from mobile me to my events folder?
Somehow, I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....

MobileMe has been gone well over a year and the last oppertunity to get your photos was long ago
I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....
What does this mean? If you have a finder folder with photos in it (no matter where they came from) you can drat the folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock and import them

I can't set up because it defaults to move my stuff from mobileme, but the mobileme redirect it always goes to is CLOSED.

Once again, Apple assumes majority == everyone.
NO.
Unlike everyone else on earth, I HAVE NOT moved my junk from mobileme yet. So now, when I log in for the first time in ages and go to set up iCloud, the mechanism always redirects me to move my junk as the first part of setup. BUT the redirection target is a goofy "closed" sign, that takes me to icloud.com, where we repeat the cycle ad infinitum.
Has anyone else been through this and resolved it?

The transition process is over. In this case it could be that your account is not available anymore.
I have to quote another forum member who read abour a solution which already worked for some former mobileme users... just try: "Go to System Preferences > iCloud on your Mac and try to sign in with your address, enabling Mail in the checklist. This should set the address up to work with that account. Note that Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for this (or iOS5)"
I hope it works for you?

Will we lose our certification history, if we leave our company?

I have a strange situation.
3 years ago, i registered to both OTN and Certview with my old email address, my old company's email address.
That company is closed. When i forgot the OTN password, i couldn't succeed to login to OTN, because it sends the temporary password only to the email address. No security questions, no alternate mail addresses. So i got a new OTN account with my new email address.
Yesterday i took an exam to upgrade my OCP certification. There were not any problems with pearsonvue. I could change my email address, registered for the exam, and took the exam.
I got an email from Certview to see my exam score. I tried to login with my new OTN account, entered my Oracle testing id, and certview did not allow me to login. It says another email address(my old email address) is registered with that testing ID. It suggested me to login with my old email address.
I forgot the password of my old account's password. I cannot use remember password because the only way to remember password is sending temp password to the registered email. My old company is closed, its domain is not in use. So there is no way to use my old email address.
I wrote lots of mails to OTN help, Certview help, etc. They always close my problem without solving it. They say, "The only way to see my exam report is to login with my old account.". And because of forgetting password, i cannot do that.
I am about giving up. I think my ceritification and exam history will be lost only because of forgetting my OTN account's password. Maybe i should go to my old boss and try to convince him to startup the company again, to get my old email address and to see my Certview detail. It's like a joke :)

http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP
I know that it is possible for the support team to change your email address without having you the password because I have done it. When I first created my OTN account, I worked for Oracle. I left Oracle and it was a couple of years before I needed my the account again (OCP info wasn't as tied to the OTN id then as it is now). The support team was able to change my email to a new address for me. Mind you... I had them change it to one that is my personal email rather than my work email so that the problem would not happen again.

HT1657 Will I need wifi to watch the movie I rent from iTunes?

If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH. Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally. Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control. The files are still set to read only. I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files. It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end. While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1. RH8 works no problem. So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem. Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area. I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control. If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control. That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view. No useful answers to that topic after a week.
Got any ideas???
I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
Thanks,
dv

Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control. It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out. Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl. Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control. Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere. This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

HT4918 can i move my gallery from mobileme to icloud ?

is it possible to move my mobileme gallery to my new icloud ?

No. iCloud provides a very basic gallery in Photo Journal, but it is populated only from iPhoto for iOS. If you have any photos on your MobileMe Gallery which are not also on your Mac you need to be downloading them now, or you will lose them.
If you want to have an online Gallery you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines som options:

Move contacts/ical from "mobileMe iCloud" to new iCloud

Hope someone can help!
For years I had a mobileMe account and a different iTunes account -so 2 apple ID's.
Now I want to use my iTunes apple ID and have already made an icloud for this. I have also moved my MobileMe acount and therefor have to clouds.
Hov can I move my contacts and iCal from my old Mobileme (now iCloud) to my iCloud that I use for iTunes??
By other words; I only want ONE I cloud.
I really appreciate every helt I can get!
Regard from Denmark/Natascha

You have two options:
1. You can manually copy the calendars and contacts to your new iCloud account by setting up your MobileMe iCloud account in Mail, Contacts, Calendars prefs on the mac. Then just copy the calendars in iCal or Address Book contacts to the other account.
2. You can just sign in with both accounts. This seems like the best option. On your devices, just set up the first iCloud account as your iTunes account, and then set up ANOTHER iCloud account for the contacts and calendars. You are allowed to have multiple accounts signed in at once but you can only use one for purchases and photostream etc (which will be your iTunes account).
The merging of both accounts is not possible at the moment.

Both my brother and I have an iPod Touch 4g, my one will connect to our wifi, my brother's wont!!!!

Both my brother and i have an ipod touch 4g. before this we both had an ipod touch 3g. I got my 4g before he did and mine connected to our wifi first time and i haven't had any problems. my brother got his today and i have tried repeatedly to connect it to wifi but it just wont work. I have tried the same method as i did with mine and i have followed apple's troubleshooting. when i try it just comes up with 'unable to connect'!!!!! please help with suggestions!

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Will I lose our subscribers if I move our podcast from Mobileme to GoDaddy?
