Automatic Update for podcasts doesn't work

The hardware/software:
iPod Classic, updated to the very latest version of the software.
iTunes, also updated to the most recent version.
Mountain Lion.
17" MacBook Pro.
I subscribe to quite a few podcasts (>50). Until recently, iTunes would automatically update them--check for new episodes and download them--automatically once every hour. Since I updated something--whether it be iTunes, MacOS, or something else--this automatic check simply doesn't happen.
If I go into iTunes under Podcasts, there is a "Settings..." button at the bottom. I click this and this is what it says:
Check for new episodes: EVERY HOUR
Settings for: PODCAST DEFAULTS
[checked] Use Default Settings
When new episodes are available: DOWNLOAD ALL
Episodes to keep: ALL UNPLAYED EPISODES
So it should, every hour, get all new episodes, download them, and quietly delete played episodes (I allow auto-delete).
It doesn't. I have sat and watched it. Nothing at all tries to update. So I end up manually updating--clicking the "Refresh" button--a lot.
I have spot-checked most of my subscribed podcasts, and each of them has the "Use default settings" checkbox checked, and every single one has "Every hour" selected.
(As a secondary issue: If I go in and set a single podcast to not update or to update less frequently, it resets the default to whatever I set for that podcast. This can't be right, can it?)
Any ideas? Have I missed a crucial setting somewhere? Is this a known bug?

Use JL_Cmder utility to wipe your device memory and restore factory settings.

  • Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

    Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

    When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
    Here is a method:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

    I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
    How can I restore it without the last update?
    Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Ricoco,
    I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS  upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
    If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

  • Automatic User Device Affinity doesn't work

    Hi, the automatic User Device Affinity doesn't work in my environment and I don't know why! The audit policies are enabled by GPO and User Device Affinity is correctly configured in SCCM. Below are some screenshots including de log of User Device Affinity.
    Anybody could help-me please?

    An old post but,
    This can happened when activating
    advanced audit policy in one of the GPO. once it was activated, it gets override the regular audit policy with different event id's that SCCM don't recognize. in addition, the machine tattooed with those settings so removing the GPO wont revert the settings.

  • How to get automatic updates for P750 custom build

    I recently purchased a custom built P750 and want to sign up for automatic updates. There is no option for just a P750 which is my complete model number.
    8GB ram
    I7 2.20GHz
    Windows HP SP1 with all updates installed at this time.
    How can I get automatic updates for this machine and operating system and if so, how do I get signed up for those?
    Should I just choose a model number and pretend it is the model I have? Which number should I choose?
    Jon
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Satellite P750 (PSAY3U-0RF03H)
    All computers in the same part-number family (PSAY3U) are essentially the same. The drivers and utilities for this one should work.
    Satellite P750-BT4G22 (PSAY3U-08703H)
    So go here.
    Hmm. Not many there. So let's go to the equivalent part-number family in Europe (PSAY3E).
    Get those here.
    Lots of ways to wiggle.

  • Selection "Automatically update selected podcasts only" disabled in iTunes

    I would like to manually select the podcasts updated to my iPod Mini. For some reason the option "Automatically update selected podcasts only" is not available in my iTunes 6.0.4. The option is disabled/grayed and the list of podcasts below it is empty.
    What could be the reason for that kind of behaviour?
      Windows XP  

    The Podcasts tab in iPod preferences only applies to podcasts you've downloaded via iTunes. Podcasts in your library are considered music even when the Genre is set to "Podcast".
    To automatically transfer those files to you iPod, create a (smart) playlist with just the podcasts and choose "Automatically update selected playlists only" from the Music tab in iPod preferences.

  • I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

    I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
    If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance.  Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

  • My Aurora Automatically updated and now its not working at all.I cant uninstall it to install firefox.

    I'm using the beta Aurora, and it was working fine until it automatically update. It's not working anymore. The short cut key in desktop changes and when you click it. it says"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". I cannot uninstall it to install a new firefox.

    Delete the shortcut you have at the moment and then create a new one as follows:<br><br>
    #Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.<br><br>
    #Right click '''firefox.exe''' and choose '''Send To''', then '''Desktop (Create shortcut)'''<br>
    Bear in mind that you're using an BETA version of Firefox and you're likely to encounter similar issues in the future.

  • Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a re...

    Voice command for Contacts doesn't work after a reboot or a contacts restore.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Backup contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Back up now.
    2. Edit/save a contact, press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition works fine.
    3. Restore contacts. Open Files > Backup & Restore > Select Contact for Backup Contents and select Restore.
    4. Reboot phone when prompted.
    5. Press and hold the call button, speak contacts name. The voice recognition does not work.
    Work around:
    Edit and save each contact.
    Additional Information:
    Social integration with contacts also does not work after a reboot. The facebook icon and "See what xxx is up to on Facebook" is not displayed. The same work around "Edit and save each contact" also applies. This occurs using the Nokia N8 and Nokia 808 Pureview.

    Has anyone had this issue, is there a setting I am missing in my phone?
    Hello, 
    This is not necessarily and issue with the phone. It could also be an issue with the car`s bluetooth software that is only limited to some functions like reading your contacts list, last calls, missed calls, etc. which is most likely the basic 2.0 version. 
    The Z30 has the 4.0 version that has a lot more communication capability but if the car`s bluetooth its a lower version, then you will not be able to take full advantage of it unless you upgrade the bluetooth software in your car. Call your dealer and inquire about the bluetooth software upgrade in your car   

  • Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

    Hello-
    One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences.  I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
    It recently told me there is a newer version.  I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites.  I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
    In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update?  should I close all the windows, apps, Safari?  do a restart?  I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228.  I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
    Thanks for any assistance.
