New podcast format - unable to download older podcasts

It seems they made a change to the podcasts setup.
Previously, when I wanted an older podcast there was a button to 'get episode'
now I don't see this option. Many podcasters do 3 a day. OK the thing is that i Unsubscribe each day, so when I subscribe again the next time, I only get one episode.

How does that work if you re-subscribe _each day_ and you're trying to get the episodes you missed?
But the issue is, take someone new, you just discovered a new podcast. How do you get all the previous podcasts to your ipod?
It depends upon the Podcast. In Windows XP, right-click the Podcast title in your *Podcast Library* after you have downloaded at least one episode. On the context menu is *Update Podcast* and selecting this will download the latest episode while other episodes will be displayed (greyed out as you don't have them) in your library list. Click on Get or *Get All* as required. Now - here's the difference - some Podcasters remove older episodes after a time and this time varies. For instance, the BBC (here in the UK) make only the current episode of weekly programmes available, removing older ones. One Podcast I follow leaves the current and the one previous episode available. There are several and reasons why they do this, but it usually boils down to copyright.
Tiesto's Podcast - forget it - once again, it's removed for copyright reasons beyond Tiesto's control. In this situation, you (usually) cannot get the old episodes, although for Tiesto, he does make them available on YouTube, but it's not quite the answer you want, is it?.

  • Is there a way to download older podcasts (i.e. - earlier than the latest podcast episode)?

    Is there a way to download older podcasts (i.e. - earlier than the latest podcast episode)?

    Hi Puffball2015,
    The Podcasts application for iOS does make it possible to download podcasts that are not the latest episode. See this article for how to select podcast episodes for download -
    Podcasts app for iOS: Stream, download, and subscribe to podcasts - Apple Support
    Specifically this section -
    Downloading
    If you download a podcast episode, a copy of the episode is stored on your iOS device so you can play it anytime you like even if there's no Internet connection.
    Browse or Search for a podcast.
    Tap a podcast to view details.
    Tap the download icon next to an episode.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • Some subscribers are unable to download my podcast in the last 2 weeks. How do I fix this?

    I host a podcast and an issue is happening to my listeners (and me) in iTunes for the last two weeks. I am using a Mac and also a Windows computer with the latest version of iTunes. I have no problem downloading the podcast on my iPhone using Downcast as my podcast client (I don't like Apple's Podcast app).
    I have listeners contacting me asking why this is happening and don't know how to fix it.
    I have further details of the issue:
    The file starts to download in iTunes and then stops. The podcast is listed in the queue and it shows it is in the cloud. There is a little exclamation point next to the new episodes.  When I try to select download it starts and then stops downloading, still showing the exclamation point instead of the blue dot.  I can start to stream the podcast but it stops 3 minutes into the podcast. I hit play again and it picks up where I left off but only plays another minute and a half. This stopping and having to hit play again continues through the rest of the podcast.
    I haven't changed anything in the way I code the mp3's in the past two episodes, so unless Apple has changed policy or restricted new podcasts on the way they are coded, I don't know what to think. Bitrate 32kbps and sample rate 12,000kHz Mono.
    I just did some tests on a Windows 8.1 machine using iTunes 11.1.2.32 and it is not downloading any shows from the last 12 weeks (Aug, 22, 2013 was the last successful d/l).
    The podcast I host is Amateur Radio Newsline and the subscribe url ishttp://www.arnewsline.org/news/rss.xml
    More info...
    Not all podcast subscriptions are experiencing this issue, some download still without a problem.
    I have turned off automatic syncing.
    I tried various settings on the way it downloads, how many episodes it keeps and it changed nothing. Still having the issue.
    This is happening in both Windows and Mac versions of the software.

    I subscribed to your feed and was unable to download episodes - I tried several including the latest. The error message was that the download was interrupted.
    I was able to download the latest episode in a browser, and to play it in Safari. Evidently your server is reacting badly to requests from the iTunes application; I have no idea why this should be the case and can only refer you to the people running your server.

  • Podcasts always "Unable to download at this time", despite retry, reboots

    I have an iPhone 4 (not S), running 7.1.2, which is the latest version of iOS that will run on it. I know that means that eventually it's going to stop working, but I can't afford to shell out on a new piece of hardware anytime soon, so I've been trying to baby it along.
    Starting with the new Podcasts app, I began to get occasional "Unable to download at this time" messages, but clicking again would download them, or failing that, turning the phone completely off and then on. Once I went a whole week without being able to download, but it turned out the phone was full -- once I downloaded some excess photos and listened to some hour-long episodes, they downloaded just fine again.
    Starting this week, nothing will download, no matter what I do. I have a full gig free. I have rebooted it several times a day all week,
    I do not use iTunes to sync my downloads, because the desktop version refuses to mark episodes played that I listened to on the device, so the instant I start iTunes it starts downloading hundreds of episodes that I've already finished long ago. Because of this, I download episodes directly to the iPhone over wifi as my primary method.

    Try and Download them using your computer...

  • Trying to download older podcasts and I get an error message

    I'm trying to download some older podcasts from 2 podcasts that I subscribe to and I receive an error message saying I do not have privilege to download it.  It says the URL has changed. 
    1: how does the URL change effect the download?
    2: how do I fix this?
    Thank you.

    What exactly is the message you get?
    Can you get to the front page of the iTunes Store?
    Can you get to individual pages in the Store (i.e. a Podcast or a music artist)?
    Is your firewall stopping you download anything?
    Can you download anything from anywhere else?

  • Some Users unable to download my podcast. Help!

    I announced my new podcast show, Glasscaster, to my industry yesterday. Many people report happy download results, but a few have had their share of problems.
    Here's my link: http://web.mac.com/marciedavis/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html
    One of the people in question is on a PC and has DSL. There are 3 complaints so far...each has a different browser, some have Explorer... The page loads it's iWeb template, but then it's full of little blue questionmarks where the file and the playbar etc. would be. Any ideas?

    Your podcast page looks good to me. I don't see any potential pitfalls or showstoppers. Could it be possible that some of your clients don't have QuickTime installed at all? It would probably be best if everyone had the latest QT version installed.

    Hi neocec!
    I have a couple of suggestions for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue. First, you should try to reset the iOS device by following these instructions:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing issues after attempting that troubleshooting step, you will want to restore your iOS device according to these instructions:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Podcast episodes will not download from podcast stream

    I have set up a podcast on my website to download sermons. I created the xml file which I tested in my feeds section of my browser. The xml file works perfectly there in that all the episodes are listed with thier respective audio files. If you click on the actual audio file it downloads the way that it should and plays. I copied the xml file location and went into Itunes and chose subdcribe to a pod cast. It asked for the url which I pasted the xml file location. Itunes displayed all of my episodes the way that it should. The problem then starts. When I click on an episode to download the audio file the episode name flashes for a second or 2 in the window on top and then nothing. The audio file will not download on any of the episodes. It lists them all but other then that I can't do anything with them. My xml file location is: http://www.stpaulsconway.org/stpaulssermons.xml What could I possibly be doing wrong?

    Glad to hear that you have solved your problem.
    May I suggest that if you have any further questions regarding Podcasts that you are producing, that you post the question in the Producing Podcasts community, where people with more specific knowledge will be sure to help you.

  • Purchased new ipad tonight unable to download app

    I purchased a new ipad air 2 tonight.  Tried to download app, was told that it failed and am unable to proceed further

    Hello Joe,
    If you have not been able to install an app from the App Store, I would quit the running app first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If that does not resolve the issue, would you mind elaborating with the exact message you are getting when you try?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Purchased new music, but unable to download

    I just installed new itunes 7.0. I downloaded some tv shows no problem. I just bought some new music through Itunes, and I get an error message when the music begins to download: "Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." Itunes is connecting fine, so what network is it talking about?

    Hey thegigstar,
    This message is refering to your computer network, the connection to the Internet. There is most likely a firewall application running on the computer denying iTunes access to the Internet.
    This article shows howto enable iTunes in the Windows firewall: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304082
    If that article does not work and reconfiguring/disabling other security/firewall software does not resolve the issue. Goto Help inside of iTunes> Run diagnostics> Network Diagnostics and paste the results here.

  • New with iPad - unable to download apps! Help.

    I am a iPAD newbie. I just created an apple ID and am trying to download my Comcast/Xfinity free app.  However, I keep getting this message:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store.  Please review your account"
    Not sure what I am supposed to do next in order to get moving and download apps???
    Please help!

    If you want to create another Apple ID and abandon this one, you can do that, but you will need another working email address as well, because you used your first email address with the first ID and you cannot associate an email address with two different Appl.e ID's.
    However...  (this is ugly)
    If the OP has NOT used a dot-mac/me/icloud email address with the first ID, it can be changed to a different address, perhaps a temporary one set up for just this purpose.  Then he can use that address with the second ID.  Unfortunately, if he has assigned either the ID or the primary email address to dot-mac/me/icloud, Apple shouts "Gotcha" and he can never change again (that's when your recommendation is necessary).

  • Can't download any podcasts on new laptop

    Since transferring my iTunes library to my new laptop I am unable to update the podcasts that were already in my library. I am also unable to download any podcast episodes for new podcast subscriptions. I get the following error:
    There was a problem downloading "Insert episode name here". An unknown error occurred (-48).
    Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated,
    Matt

    Depending on the App, many are iPhone only. You can check if they have iPad versions. Or they may not. Or you might have to purchase the iPad version.

  • Hi guys !!  I have an iPhone 3GS and there is something wrong. I am trying to download the podcasts app and it says it requires iOS 7 or later. I'm really going mad and I can't download any kind of music or ringtone. Is there any easy solution.

    Hello guys !! I have an iPhone 3GS, it's on iOS 6.1.3 but I'm unable to download the podcasts app because it says it requires iOS 7 or later.because of this I cannot download any type of music or ringtone.apple has done very bad as they r now only dealing with the latest and forgot about the previous customers. Any easy solution??

    It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

  • Unable to download podcasts after authorizing new computer

    I just authorized another computer. When I sync the ipod, I am unable to download podcasts that I already subscribed to.

    Apple should be ashamed for sticking people with a crappy appp like the new iTunes.
    After reinstalling iTunes 9.0.3 and the get episode button still not working, I exported my playlist (iTunes/File/Library/Export Playlist), trashed the iTunes application, iTunes library folders (in User and Music) and downloaded iTunes 8.2 ( http://en.kioskea.net/telecharger/telecharger-241-itunes-for-mac ), installed it, then imported the playlist back in.
    Ba-dah-boom.
    It may not be as elegant as iTunes 9, but at least it works like it’s supposed to.
