Automatically download podcasts directly to iPod?

I'm trying to find a way to have my iPod automatically check for a new podcast (via my home WiFi), download new content, and shut itself off again. Does anyone know of something like this?
The reason I want this is that I would like to keep my iPod in my car's glove box connected via USB. When I drive to work in the morning, I want to listen to the most recent CNET podcast. Currently, I have to manually remove it from the glove box, navigate to the podcast page, select download on the latest one, and wait 4 minutes while it downloads. I want this to be automatic. Ideas?

I would love this too.

Your feed contains a number of errors, and when subscribing to it manually in iTunes it would not download any episodes. This is because your episode URLs have spaces in them. Spaces are not allowed in a URL: when using a browser it will replace the spaces with the code %20 and will locate the file: but iTunes does not do this. It sees the URL as ending at the first space. So you need to remove the spaces, or perhaps replace them with underscores, and amend the feed to suit.
The podcast is not searchable in the Store: this is because the 'title' tag, which should contain simply the title, encloses it within a 'CDATA' tag, which iTunes cannot read (this is assuming you have in fact sumbitted the podcast to the Store and had it accepted, something I cannot check).
The feed is lacking the 'itunes' declaration at the top, without which iTunes cannot read any of the 'itunes' tags (not in fact that you have any). The top of the feed should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
You have no 'itunes:author', 'itunes:summary' or 'itunes:subtitle' tags which carry the information to be displayed on the Store.
This page includes a sample feed so that you can see what a feed should look like:

How do I prevent apps which I've downloaded to my iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch

How do I prevent apps that I've downloaded to my Iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch. Also how do I prevent apps which my kid has downloaded to her ipod touch from automatically downloading to my ipad/iphone when I connect to the computer. I manage all through my same itunes account.

When you connect a device to ITunes go to the Apps tab for that device and uncheck "Automatically sync new apps". You will have to do this for each device.

I downloaded podcasts into my ipod. Where are they?

I downloaded podcasts into my ipod. Where are they?

Under the Podcasts menu, obviously.
If you do not have Podcasts listed on your Main Menu, go to the Settings/Music menu and scroll down to Podcasts and press the Select (centre) button so there is a tick next to Podcasts.

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.

How to synch a downloaded podcast to classic iPod

I have a downloaded podcast but it is not synching to my iPod and I see no way to synch it. The previous iTunes did have a synch button which worked well. Any ideas from fellow iPod users? Thank you.

I was able to figure this concundrum out. Thanks for those who might have been poised to jump in and refer me to the right answer.

Automatic downloads for music on ipod

what does the box mean when it says " this device is already associated with an apple id. if you turn on automatic downloads with your apple id, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different apple id

Exactly what it says. You can only change the automatic downloads for a single ID on a device every 90 days.

Why can I no longer download podcast directly to my first gen touch.

Using download "get more episodes" feature over wifyno longer works for first gen iPod touch. I can add podcasts using iTunes. I can also add apps using wifi no problem

I am having the opposite problem. Even though downloads are off in the settings, it refuses to stop trying to download new podcasts. I prefer to manage it through iTunes, but the app insists on doing it all itself now. It is unusable for my purposes in this state.
At first I thought I was really going to like this update.

Q about Automatically Downloading Podcasts

Hi. I have an Imac running OS X 10.5.2. I also have the latest version
of Itunes, 7.6.2.
I just discovered podcasts tonight and I subscribed to a few of them. I
then went to Itunes Preferences and to the Podcasts section to set
Itunes to look for new episodes on a daily basis.
My problem is that Itunes doesn't seem to let me choose a specific time
for downloading the daily podcasts. I would like to set Itunes so that
it downloads the podcasts early in the morning, around 2AM or 3AM, when
I'm asleep and not using my computer.
However, when I select the "Every day' from the "Check for new
episodes", it shows that the next time it will check for new episodes is
"Tomorrow, 9:50 PM." I don't know how it's picking 9:50PM as the time
to checking podcasts. Like I said, I'd like to change the time to 2AM
or 3AM. I browsed through the Itunes Help and I couldn't find an answer
to my question.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

The 'daily' check always means 24 hours from that last time iTunes checked for podcasts. In other words, if you did a manual check at 2 a.m. then iTunes would perform the next automated check at 2 a.m. the next day.

I can no longer download podcasts on my iPod classic.

How do I do this without being able to install the ap?

Have you checked to make sure the Sync Podcasts option is still set the way you want?
Not sure what you mean by "installing the ap".
