Subscribing to Members-only Podcasts via iTunes

How do I get old podcasts from the

How do I get old podcasts from the Members only area to download to I-tunes? When I add the RSS feed, it only downloads the latest podcast. I'm probably missing a simple step that I would appreciate you pointing out.
Thanks

After you're subscribed in iTunes, you

After you're subscribed in iTunes, you should be able to click the triangle left of the "Manager Tools Member Cast" in your Podcast library. That should give you the list of past Podcasts where you can click the "Get" button to download the ones you want.

Am I the only one for whom it has created a Podcast called Manager-Tools Members Only but is showing all the normal podcasts?

This is wonderful. I can now get all of the MT podcasts in one place without having to mess with stuff. I appreciate this!

Excellent development. I'm glad that

Excellent development. I'm glad that all the oldest archived shows are now available in one place in iTunes - excellent!

I have subscribed and have been able to

I have subscribed and have been able to download the most recent podcast and have followed all the steps above, but when I try to download the rest of the podcasts, it tries to download and has an orange round symbol to show this which then turns into an exclamation mark which says the network connection has been lost. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

yvonne, Are you trying this from

yvonne,

Are you trying this from home, or work? We have run into employers that block access to sites like Libsyn (where we host our files). That may be a possible cause.

Mike and Mark, I happened across you

Mike and Mark, I happened across you pod cast about 5 weeks ago and I downloaded ever cast available. I am very impressed with how powerful and isnghtful your presentations are. Now, to my question, I have signed up to get the memers only cast, but when I try to log in I get this message "Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection)." I am not very computer savvy, so if anyone can help? Thanks

I signed up for the members-only feed a few weeks ago, and began pulling the list of older podcasts right away. I, too, have been having problems with connection timeout, and have found that it's been getting a bit more stable with the newer updates to iTunes.

What has happened, however, is that I have suddenly lost the non-downloaded items in my podcast list in iTunes. It only shows me the ones that I have downloaded so far (about 3/4 of them). The ones that I had not retrieved used to be lighter, and had a "Get" button, but now they don't even appear.

Any ideas how to resolve this? I really want to get the remaining episodes.

Thanks, Steve

Yvonne/Sgrimes. The exclamation is a timeout. itunes can only donwload a couple of casts at a time. Do it bit by bit (you can check progress - if you are really bored) by clicking on the 'downloading' icon in the Store section of the sidebar.

Sean, don't worry about lack of security on this site (these guys are managers not IT junkies) as long as your chosen password and username are unique and not shared with your bank account then the worst that could happen is someone hacks in to leave nasty messages on the forum.

Chris

Sean, The message you are getting

Sean,

The message you are getting essentially means that your userid and password are being transmitted unencrypted over the net. Although as Chris points out, this generally shouldn't be an issue ... for a number of reasons, I would not suggest you use a userid/password for public forums/blog/etc. identical to that which you use for banking or secure activities.

I just bought my iPOD and started

I just bought my iPOD and started downloading. I did signup for the iTunes automatic download (it worked today). I did a print of all the shows from the archive list to check if I got everything. The 36 earliest shows did not dowload. I tried downloading them one at a time. After the first one, I looked at the iTunes file and couldn't find that download. I thought there as a response to the post by bhojrah on 1/9/07. ericw's response didn't cover getting the old one's. Is there a trick to getting the old one's? Larry

Lpaine,

The directions for adding the new members-only feed (with ALL the shows) is at the top of this page. The members-only feed is different than the feed you'll find on iTunes.

Hope that helps ... let me know otherwise!

Mike: I had a conference

Mike: I had a conference Thursday/Friday and the 3 hour drive to Lawrence, KS was filled by listening to MT.

Still have a problem with not getting all the shows. I unsubscribed, deleted all the shows and then subscribed again. I get all the shows back to March 2006. From there back - nothing.

I tried going to the archive page and do a download. It starts and shows it finishes the download process. After looking at iTunes folder, I can't see where it was stored there.

Great podcasts. Fantastic. Was just

Great podcasts. Fantastic. Was just wondering: is there any way in iTunes to save the user ID and password permanently instead of being prompted each and every time ?

jrleighton, Great question ... one

jrleighton,

Great question ... one for which I had an answer! Unfortunately, I don't know of a solution there. Anyone else? I think we'd ALL appreciate it.

One Qustion .. How do I get the xtra content, like PDF's etc via a RSS Feed? Is this possible ?? ( Yes I am a memeber ) Or will i need to come to your site and download them individually?

First of all, thanks for all the great

First of all, thanks for all the great content on your podcasts. I've been listening while commuting to work (almost) everyday, catching up on the older files.

Is there any way to move the podcasts that I have already downloaded PRIOR to subscribing as a member to the same group of the member's only? I wanted to save the download time and having my files neatly organized.

Thanks, and keep up the GREAT work you guys do!

I'd LOVE the ability to automatically

I'd LOVE the ability to automatically download all of the Premium Content (both Shownotes & Outlines) at one time. Is there a way to do this?

Also - I greatly appreciate the iTunes link provided above that enabled me to auto install all of the podcasts (including the Members Only podcasts) simultaneously.

Appreciatively,

I have found that I am unable to update my last 2 podcasts and have just subscribed to the members-only podcast and cannot download any of those podcasts either.

When is the next member's podcast? It's been since November, 2007. Is this a feature no longer supported?

Does anyone know how I can

Does anyone know how I can "unsubscribe" the members only feed into my iTunes? My iTunes "locks up" in the process of loading and I suspect that the link to the feed may be the culprit as my daughter's iTunes on same computer loads fine.

awesome the address worked. i had just bought a mac and switched over my itunes from the old pc. i lost all my old manager tools pod casts and couldn't figure out how to get the loaded. this did the job.

Mike, Marc and everyone

Mike, Marc and everyone else...

First post here (on MT or anywhere else on the web). I just wanted to let you know that the ITunes button at the top of this page worked perfectly! I've listened to most of the regular podcasts, so now I feel like I just won the lottery with all the members only podcasts now available right in ITunes. Looking forward to learning more from and contributing to this very impressive community.

Apologies to Mark for the incorrect

Apologies to Mark for the incorrect spelling on the last post. Not a great first impression, huh?

I cannot seem to get the members only on Itunes. I have had it in the past but I get an error message that indicates the URL does not connect me to Manager's Tools...I have all the past podcasts through "packing your suitcase"..so how do I get the latest ones.

Thank you. The button worked as

Thank you. The button worked as described.

Can I give you some feedback? When you provide a tool to make subscribing easier, it helps newcomers like me join the audience and establishes your credibility. Keep it up!

I get an error in my iTunes as well.

I get an error in my iTunes as well. The podcast has worked great for months and recently just broke. I think the problems started last week.

The URL I'm using is:
http://www.manager-tools.com/registered-members/rss.xml

I still get a username/password prompt that appears accepted but iTunes shows a non-descript error about check the URL.

Joe, Hmmm, not sure what's going on

Joe,

Hmmm, not sure what's going on there. I checked your account and the feed and can't find any issues there.

You may wish to try deleting the podcast feed within iTunes and then subscribe again by using the iTunes button at the top of this post.

Mike

Thanks for the response Mike. So

Thanks for the response Mike.

So far, no go. I deleted all Manager-Tools.com podcasts from iTunes and re-added the members-only via the button above but I get the same error.

"$URL does not seem to be a valid podcast url"

I'll try from another PC but right now my primary listening station is dead in the water.

Bummer,

Mike, I'd like to add that my

Mike,

I'd like to add that my Firefox (recent 3 upgrade) cannot see your RSS feeds any longer either. I tried re-subscribing with Firefox and I get an error about parsing problems.

-Joe

Sorry, Joe. And thanks for passing

Sorry, Joe. And thanks for passing that on. I'll have someone take a look at this and see if we can determine what's happening here.

Hi Mike, Just want to let you guys

Hi Mike,

Just want to let you guys know that there still seems to be a problem with your podcasts RSS feeds.

I downloaded one manually to have a look and the problem seems to be an extra tag at the start of the feed... the "1FAF" part, that's causing all the problems:

1FAF

Keep up the good work.

Hi Mike,

I did the same Joe was describing in his note and I have the same problems. I beleive the problems started since I upgraded to itunes 8.0.0.35 as my update at home works fine with the older version of i.tunes

For regular manager tools podcasts the feed doesn't work either although I'm able to upload the files from the itunes catalogue manually.

Hi guys, I'm still having problems

Hi guys,

I'm still having problems with the rss feeds here on iTunes, but find that they work just fine on other feed scanners/players.

One I've used with some success is Miro, but I'm sure there are others out there.

Hope it helps.

Thanks ... we've made a couple of changes that *may* help. I also sent you an email so we can continue to troubleshoot.

the link http://www.manager-tools.com/registered-members/rss.xml does not work at the moment (or at least for me!) either way (itunes button or manual method)? It does not even prompt me for user and password. Help!

jcamp,

Are you trying to add the feed for the first time, or are you trying to correct something that wasn't working? Someone recently was able to resolve a similar issue by deleting the feed from iTunes, then re-subscribing.
