Can no longer download podcast episodes :S

A few days ago, iTunes stopped downloading my podcast episodes. They just stay on "0KB / whatever MB" and eventually time out. Most bizarre. Please help.

Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
It's really frustrating!!!

ITune will no longer download podcast episodes

Okay, as the subject line said, I can't no longer download any podcast episode. This started to happen after I updated my Norton software last weekend. Now I can't play any episodes that were downloaded before the Norton update. I can still "grab" new episodes, but they show up with an exclamation mark right next to them as if the file hasn't been downloaded, but I can stream those files as if I am listening to internet radio. Obviously, I can't import those new episodes to my iPod because they aren't downloaded files. Also, my entire library of music are no longer playable in iTune as well. As of now, the only thing iTune is good for on my computer is listening to podcast episodes through internet streaming. I'm running a Window Vista 32-bit system. Help, anyone?

I'm having this exact same problem. Here's how it happened for me:
I was in my house about to leave waiting for someone, and it dawned on me to download some new or recent episodes of a podcast. I went into the Podcast app and started them, and then locked my device thinking that the episodes would be downloading. Little did I know they weren't on my wifi for some reason. I found this out when the person I was waiting for was ready to leave so we could go somewhere and I unlocked my phone in the car. At that point I switched over to LTE and the oldest of these 3 episodes I wanted to download started downloading and was completed in seconds. When it got to the other 2 remaining episodes, they both just had the status of "Preparing to download..." With the loading wheel that tells you how much has been downloaded at 0%. Still right now it's like this. Could this just be an issue with LTE, the podcast, or any of iTunes podcasts as a whole?

Can no longer download podcasts to my iPhone. Help!

I listen to several podcasts and up until just this past week, I would be able to download new podcasts anytime.
Now when I'm listening to the podcast in the Music app and I click on "Get More Episodes . . . ." and it opens up the iTunes App to the page to download more episodes of that podcast. But then the page never fully loads and none of the "Free" buttons will engage. So I can't view the whole list of podcasts and I can't even download the ones I can see.

For additional context and to verify if we are talking about the same behavior. Here is what the download screen looks like on my iPod:

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".

Why can I no longer download podcasts to my iPhone with Podcast 2.1?

Podcast 2.1 automatically updated on my iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.1. After the update, I can no longer download podcasts to my iPhone via WiFi and my downloaded podcasts from iTunes do not sync and transfer to my iPhone. Also, if I try to listen while downloading it only plays for a minute and crashes. Why would Apple release such a bad update that makes the Podcast app not work at all!?

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.

Suddenly I can't download podcast episodes to iPhone, but they'll still stream

I seem to no longer be able to download podcast episodes on to my iPhone. When I update/refresh podcasts, the little numbers appear over podcasts, indicating there are new episodes: but when I go through to the podcast, I see the little "cloud + arrow" icon (whereas before they'd download automatically). I press on the cloud/arrow icon: it dims briefly, but nothing happens. In the "My Stations" view, there's the command "Download all" at the bottom: if I press that, it dims briefly, but nothing happens.
The episodes still stream fine: if I play them, they'll play, with occasional lags from streaming. But I now seem unable to download them.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Please, please don't tell me this is just Apple's latest move in "improving" Podcasts: I'd be horrified but not entirely shocked if they decided "No, you don't really want to download podcasts - you should just stream them all the time, because that's the right way to do it. And you want to do it the right way, don't you? The Apple way. The only right way."
This appears to have started this morning, and I updated with iOS 7.0.4 last night. Maybe that's a coincidence, or maybe it's connected.
Just when I was reconciling myself to the Podcasts app ...
Thanks in advance!

Well, the tried and true may have worked: I turned the iPhone off and then on again, and now downloads seem to be working properly. On/off button, is there anything you cannot do?

I can no longer download any NPR podcasts I subscribe to. I can download and listen to other podcasts but none from NPR. I have tried on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Other podcasts, music etc. download fine.

I can download and listen to other podcasts but none from NPR.
I have tried downloading the podcasts on computers that run Windows 7 and Windows 8. Other podcasts, music etc. download fine.
iTunes version: 11.3.0.54
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling iTunes and I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to the podcasts.
I don't have trouble getting NPR podcasts from the store. I just can't play them in iTunes.

Can't download podcast episodes over cellular data

I am running the current ios software and have the current Apple Podcast app installed. Since updating to 7.0.4 and installing the current app version, I now am having issues with downloading podcast episodes using cellular data specifically. You try and download an episode and it just freezes and then says "download error, tap to retry". You then get a massive popup saying "unable to download podcast" and underneath this, it says the podcast episode "could not be downloaded at this time". This happens not just with one specific podcast. I have tried everything I can think of and that Apple have suggested. I have:
- Unsubscribed then resubscribed to podcasts I have seen this issue with
- Closed out of the app and gone back in
- Ensured at all times I have been attempting this, that cellular data has been on for podcasts
- Switched cellular data off for podcasts and as a whole then I have switched back on
- Done a hard reset of the phone
- Deleted the Podcast app itself, reinstalled and then tried to download an episode over cellular data
- Reset Network Settings
- Performed a full restore of the device
After doing the restore, I set the phone up as new and then installed just the podcast app and was able to download an episode over cellular data. I then restored my data from backup and then all of a sudden, I had the same issue again. I did another reset of the network settings and then the issue went away. The issue has returned yet again today. I called Apple to advise and they say they will investigate and get back to me.
Has anyone else had this issue and have you managed to find a permanent solution? When I am on wifi, I don't have this issue at all. I attempted to download another app and a song from itunes over 3G and had no issues. As such, I can only conclude there must either be an issue with the app itself or ios7.0.4 has done some damage here. I like to download my podcasts on the train to work so don't always have the ability to download over 3G.
A very annoying issue!

I am having same problem, except mine is a movie rental on 3rd gen ipad wifi. It seems like this problem has been occuring for quite a few years and apple cant be bothered to fix it. It is really annoying because none of the fixes work. My movie is 99% downloaded and i cant play it or delete or retry the download. Its gona be a few months before anyone from apple decides to post to this thread anyway. Its a real shame. In the apple store not one "genius" cud help with this either.

I can no longer download anything from the new style app store on 1st gen iPod touch

Whenever I click to install an app from app store the button disappears. If I click again in the general area that the button should be, I get a green empty button, if I cclick that, it turns blue but still nothing happens. On the old style app store it used to either begin unstallion or tell me that the app wasn't compatible with my device. Now I get NOTHING. Please can someone help?!

I have the same problem with my 1st gen Touch. It started a few days ago when I and many other 1st gen users noticed that we could no longer download podcasts directly to our iPods, and after a day or two that seemed to be fixed, but now the app store is broken for us. For me when I try to download an app I press the button and then the graphics for the button get all jumbled. I can see it's there but the edges and letters are all mixed up and wierd looking. It turns green like the download button, and when I push that it turns blue and then just sits there doing nothing. I know this isn't a problem with updating my software because anyone who knows anything about earlier models knows that they stopped updating the iOS for them a long long time ago. This is definitely a problem on Apples end where they've made some kind of changes to the app store that break it on earlier iPods (I saw another post from a 2nd gen user who is having the same problem). I hope Apple fixes this soon.

I can no longer download anything

For some reason, I can no longer download anything on itunes on my computer.
When I try, I get the following error as a sample...
There were problems downloading some purchased items.
For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
There was a problem downloading “Fun Run, Pts. 1 & 2 / The Office, Season 4 / The Office”. You >do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
I do have a network connection, and can get logged into the itunes store. I have spent the past 45 minutes on the phone with Apple who had me check all of my permissions, and I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, but still the same thing.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone...

Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone or in iTunes. Prior to the last update, this was always an option. I have also noticed that the Ringtones and Alert Tones are not showing up in my recent purchases as well to allow for me to place them back on my phone and there for require for them to be purchased again... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've discovered that all tones purchased will be downloaded as ringtones, BUT they can be utilized as tones and assigned as alert tones on the iPhone...
