Apple TV 2.0 Podcast Automatic Download

Has anyone found away to automatically download the latest versions of selected PodCasts? I'd like to stop syncing my podcasts from my iTunes PC and just use the Apple TV to manage my video podcasts.
Apple, PLEASE add this feature to the next version of Apple TV firmware. Thanks...

We're talking subscribing to Podcasts and TV Shows directly from Apple TV. This has nothing to do with iTunes in your computer

Nokia podcasting: Automatic Download doesn't autom...

Just confirming this, but I've found that on every phone that has the current version of Nokia Podcasting, the app does not disconnect after an Automatic Download, rendering that feature utterly pointless. Previously Podcasting could be left running, and it would download podcasts automatically from a specific access point according to the schedule, then hang up the connection. Thus you could wake up every morning with your podcasts pre-synced. On the new version, the disconnect doesn't happen, so you can:
1) Get up and disconnect it manually, in which case you might as well have got out of bed and told it do download manually
2) Don't bother disconnecting it, in which case the battery will be flattened within a couple of hours by the "idle" wireless connection.
Unfortunately some of the phones affected (e.g. N79) don't have the route certificate that allows you to install the previous version of the app.
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

I have the same problem, just showed up recently - very fricking annoying!!

My pre-order didn't show up and I enabled automatic downloads after I bought it.

My pre ordered song didn't show up in my library. Apple told me to enable automatic downloads, i did and it is still not showing. I've tryed downloads from the purchased page but there is no button saying download.

Make sure you're using the iPhone sync cable (older iPod cables will not work for sync, only to charge for example)
Try quitting iTunes, unplug your iPhone from your computer, reboot your machine, do not open iTunes, (with your iPhone awake) plug in your iPhone via the USB sync cable, iTunes should open with your iPhone as an accessory.
Sometimes things glitch :P

Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Please always include the URLs of your Store page and feed to save me having to search for them. For references, your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/church-of-the-cross/id317330237
and your feed is at http://www.cotcboston.org/Podcast.xml
You have introduced a fatal error into your feed which is rendering it unreadable. The title for the entry of 24 November 2013 is given as
<title>Love's Durability & Permanence</title>
You cannot have an ampersand ('&') by itself in a feed because in XML it signifies the beginning of a code sequence; as this is never completed it blocks everything afterwards in the feed, and as this includes the closing tags it blocks the opening tags too.
You must replace the ampersand with either the word 'and' or the code

I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few episodes at a time due to the limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around?

I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few past episodes at a time due to limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around for this?

Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

How do I download podcasts automatically?

For some reason my podcasts don't download automatically, although I have set them to download automatically. Do I have to have the Podcast app open on top or can it be running in the back?

Hello haackeg,
It sounds like your Podcasts app is downloading episodes automatically and you would like to stop that. This function is called Auto Download and is a setting you can turn off in the Podcasts app itself:
Use Auto Download
With Auto Download, you can automatically download new podcast episodes in the background as they become available:
After you subscribe to a podcast, navigate to My Podcasts.
Tap the podcast to bring up the podcast details.
Tap Settings > Auto-Downloads.

All the best,

Subscribers complain that podcasts don't automatically download

All,
We have received a complaint form someone trying to subscribe to our podcast (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=201681567 / FeedURL=http://www.sellingpower.com/video/rssiTunes.asp). They say that when they click subscribe they get an error message and iTunes does not automatically download the videos.
I cannot duplicate the error. If there is an error, can anyone let me know either how to recreate the error and/or fix it.
Thank you in advance.

The extension to your feed URL is .asp. It should be .xml. Alter it and subscribing should work. However if you have submitted the .asp version to iTunes you may have some difficulty changing it. Possibly if you can incorporate the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag into the file with the .xml version of the URL it may work.

Automatically downloading podcasts - issue!

Ok, I have had an unfortunate situation.
I only have 5 gig on my peak d/l from my new isp of a week.
I have SERVERAL podcasts that I download each week.
I have NO internet service unless I use the off peak as itunes downloaded all my podcasts without me knowind - taking the bandwith.
How can I stop this and manually download when I want??
Regards,
Chris

Hi - I have an Airport Express 'n' version. Its connected to my DSL modem via an ethernet cable and to my stereo via cable as well. When I do stream music through it via itunes, it does cut out fairly frequently. I think this is happening when iTunes is automatically downloading podcasts. Is this an issue with the capacity of the Express? Or the capacity of my laptop (its a 2007 basic white Macbook)? Or even my cable modem?
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
It's probably related to the quality of the Wi-Fi signal between your MacBook and AirPort Express. Launch AirPort Utility, invoke "manual setup" mode, pull down the Base Station menu and select the "Logs & Statistics" item, then select the "Wireless Clients" tab. That will show you information about that connection, including whether the times when the signal cuts out correspond to drops in the signal strength.

Podcasts no longer automatically download in iTunes 11

Hello all,
I've been Googling this and searching the Apple forums for some time now and can't seem to find this exact issue... close but not exact. If it's there and I missed it, please kindly direct me to said thread! Thank you!
Anyway, since upgrading to iTunes 11 (now using 11.1.3) - or maybe it was the upgrade to Mavericks, I'm really not sure - my subscribed podcasts no longer automatically download. When I hit the refresh arrow next to the podcast title all the new available podcasts appear in the list, but now I have to click the little cloud with the down arrow next to each individual podcast to start the download process. Extremely annoying! Especially if I haven't been able to download for a few days and have twelve or so in the queue.
None of my settings have changed, and I have double-checked the settings which are: Subscribed is checked; Keep: All Episodes; Download: Most Recent Episodes; Sort Order: Newest on Top; Play Order: Oldest First.
It used to be when I refreshed the podcast queue all new episodes started downloading immediately and automatically. Now, as I said I have to click on the cloud/down arrow to the right of each podcast. On occasion I will notice the podcast STILL did not download to my hard drive and instead was just streaming. I'll have to click again to download.
I have plenty of hard drive space on my external hard drive, which I have been using for years with no issue until now.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I was away from my home computer for 3 weeks. I have lists of podcasts with the cloud download symbol. Is there a way to get (download) all the missed podcasts onto iTunes so I can put them on an iPod for listening?

Apple: Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV. That simple. I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop. Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB. There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

We are all itunes users just like you.

I have a iPad and a iPhone. I am logged into the same Apple ID on both devices. Every time I download something on my phone it automatically downloads on the iPad how do I turn this off?

you need to turn automatic downloads off - its under settings>itunes & app store

I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads, but I see an alert that says 'This device is already associated with an apple ID.'

I recently bought a new ipod 4 gen 32 G. I had an 8 g .I'm trying to turn on automatic downloads so when I buy a song from Itunes it automatically downloads without plugging it into computer to sync. When I turn on Auto Downloads, It say...This device is already Associated with an apple ID You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this device with a different Apple ID for 30 days. When I click OK it turns th downloads off..Can someone help me? I've returned the 8g to regular factory settings as I'm giving it to a friend.

You have to wait. See:

You can still sync the media from your iTunes library

Automatic Downloads and Strange Error Message: "You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days"

Hi gang-
Yesterday I noticed that iTunes on my iMac had not auto-downloaded several new songs that I had recently purchased on my iPhone.    In iTunes Preferences, under Store -> Automatic Downloads, I always have Music selected so all songs purchased from any device using my Apple ID normally download automatically.
To troubleshoot this, I double-checked my Preferences and sure enough, Music was de-selected under Automatic Downloads.   I then Selected it and clicked OK.   Here's where it gets weird and I get this error message:
This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can auto-download purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 84 days.
I read and re-read this message and none of it seems to apply to me.   I have only one Apple ID.   I am currently logged in with iTunes to that one Apple ID.   All my iTunes Music ever has been purchased with that one Apple ID.   I am not trying to associate this computer or any other with a different Apple ID.
I logged iTunes out and then back in again and tried all the above- but same error message.
So, as it is now, I am unable to turn on Automatic Downloads in iTunes.
Anyone know what the heck is going on?
Thanks!
Dave

Hey gang-
Okay, this gets more and more bizarre.   I sent a support email to Apple and basically they said "...it seems that someone else associated your Mac with their Apple ID. That's the reason your purchases won't download."
Yikes!   My wife and I live alone- and we have exactly one and only one Apple ID.    Would somebody have needed physical access to my iMac to do that?
Support then said "You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer."
Okay- so I logged into My Account in iTunes.   On the list of associated devices, my own iMac is NOT on that list.   But I am logged in under the same Apple ID I've had for years on that iMac.
So my big question right now is...if my iMac (that I've owned for 5 years) has somehow been dis-associated from my Apple ID, how do I find out what Apple ID it is associated with?
Thanks gang for trying to help me unravel a mystery.
Dave
PS- Here's an Apple Tech article on iTunes associations, but it doesn't really go beyond what we've discussed above:

How do I stop podcasts from automatically downloading?

I've tried everything including changing the settings for my entire library to just refresh the feeds, but iTunes is still automatically downloading episodes.
What is worse though, is many times its going back into certain feeds to download older, and usually years old, episodes, so that obviously clogs up memory and CPU space on my computer, with no seemingly end in site when dealing with podcasts that have episode numbers in the hundreds and for some reason the feed is downloading dozens of them from several years ago.
I don't understand that at all, in terms of why iTunes refreshing a feed would go back and download episodes going way back in the feed's history as opposed to the latest one, or the ones that showed up, since the last time the feed was refreshed, with the proper later dates, but I'd just want to stop the automatic process and just simply have all the feeds refreshed so I can pick and choose what I want to download, instead of all at once. What am I doing wrong?

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations, then set up each machine as you want it.

Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

So I just got a message from Apple saying
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
I also turned on iCloud Drive.
Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
It could list what type of device it was.
It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
It's very clear to me; the app named "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.
