Mac OS X 10.5.4: Cannot post podcasts to iTunes U
Symptoms
After updating any computers in a Podcast Producer system to Mac OS X 10.5.4 or Mac OS X Server 10.5.4, workflows that post podcasts to iTunes U may no longer complete successfully.
Products Affected
Mac OS X Server 10.5, Mac OS X 10.5.4
Resolution
To resolve this issue, update to Mac OS X 10.5.5 or Mac OS X Server version 10.5.5.
Additional Information
If you're not ready to update, you can use this alternative workaround in Mac OS X 10.5.4:
Edit the file /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb. Specifically, change "if trans" to "if transitive" on line 187, near the end of the script.
Note: This change must be made on every Xgrid agent computer in the Podcast Producer system.
You can do this using a text editor as the root user. You can also use the following command to back up the existing file and replace it with an edited version:
sudo perl -i.bak -pe 's/if trans\n/if transitive\n/' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb
Note: This command must be entered on one line. The sudo command will prompt for the password of the currently logged in account, which must have admin privileges.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
