Solving Download Problems with Internet Explorer (XP Only) and Firefox
Solving Download Problems with Internet Explorer (XP Only) and Firefox
If the MP3 file will not download to your PC but plays in Mediaplayer try the following:
Step 1. Open Windows Explorer (right windows key + e) or by
double clicking
on the 'My Computer' icon on the desktop and from the top menu bar select
Tools (alt + t) > Folder Options (shift + alt + O)> File Types (control
+
tab).
Step 2. Find the MP3 entry, by pressing the M key repeatedly,
in the (long)
list that appears, select it, then select the 'Advanced' button and make
sure the 'Confirm open after download' option is ticked. Finally click OK.
3. You should now be prompted to either Open, Download or Cancel when you select a 'Download' link.
The above applies only to Windows XP - Vista/Windows 7 does not have this option. To download the file you must right click on the download link or press left shift + 10 and select 'Save link as...' from the menu.
With Firefox you have to select, from the top menu bar, Tools > Options > Content > Manage (file types). Find the MP3 entry , select Change Action then select "save them on my computer".
If you are a JAWS user, and the above does not work, you might try pressing 'Insert + Z' to switch it into 'Virtual PC Cursor Mode' and then tabbing to the 'Download' link and press the context menu key (to the left of the right control key) or pressing shift + F10 and then selecting 'save target as' from the menu.
Warning: iTunes does not offer very good accessibility when using a screen reader.
When you a selected the iTunes pacific RSS link and you get the list of publications either by category or alphabetically.
You need to copy the URL text by highlighting the link, that is under the title, and then press ctrl + c of the publication you want from the page.
OK magazine example:
http://www.talkingnewspapers.org/tnaservice/rss_itunes_publication.jsp?category=Women&code=237
In iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu, select 'Subscribe to Podcast' and paste the link into the window that appears by press ctrl + v.
You should be prompted for your username and password.
You will need to repeat this for each publication you want to download.
iTunes Notes:
By default iTunes will only download side 1. You have to select the 'Get All' button that appears in the main window after the publication title.
There is a small grey triangle 'button' next the beginning of the title in the main window. Selecting this will hide the downloads and also the 'Get All' button for that title, selecting it again show the downloads again.
