Can't check for new podcast episodes in iOS 5 Music app any more on iPad

Hi, in the old iPod app on the iPad, I could check for new episodes for podcasts and download them directly on the iPad. I haven't found this functionality in the new Music app. Is this gone? I liked it a lot when traveling with the iPad.
Or did I just miss on how to activate it?

I didn't know the iPhone still had it. But... the whole thing is a stupid joke anyway.
"Get More Eposides..." when viewing an individual epiosde is a petty excuse for a feature. What iOS really needs is an "Refresh" button just like iTunes, so I can update every podcast with one button and without leaving the Music app. Anything less is retar-ded.
5 iOS releases and I'm still waiting for this. And iOS 5 on iPad is even worse than the lame excuse for a feature we had before. The implementation of podcast subsrciptions on iOS feels like nothing more than an April Fools' joke.
I wouldn't mind but at this stage what we should really have is background download for podcasts on iOS ala Newsstand.

Changing the time iTunes checks for new podcast episodes

My broadband supplier allows me unlimited downloads from 00:00 to 08:00 and I want to use this time to download podcasts. I have set up iTunes to check for new episodes every day and download nay it finds but I can't set the start or end time.
I am running Windows XP, do I need to edit the registry ?
Thanks,
colin

Hi colin, welcome to discussions.
No need to edit the registry.
If you check the "Podcasts" tab in the Preferences, underneath the option "check for new episodes". There is written in tiny letters, when iTunes is going to check the next time. In your case, that would be the same hour you checked last time but on the next day.
So, I suggest you actualize the Podcast folder manually at 00:01, f.e. The next day, iTunes will do so on it's own. As long as it is running at midnight, iTunes doesn't change this setting, and, as you have broadband, the downloading shouldn't take 8 hours per day.

How can I set iTunes to check for new podcasts at a specific time of day?

Hi guys,
Anybody know a work around for this? I thought it was just a matter of clicking the refresh button at the time I want iTunes to look for new podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
I want iTunes to look for new podcasts at 2 am every day. So, at 2 am, I clicked the refresh button in the Podcasts section in iTunes. It would then say, in the settings, that iTunes last checked for podcasts at 2 am and will look again at 2 am the next day. Awesome, not. Every single time I try this, iTunes always resets itself and decides to look for podcasts at 2:49 pm. I can't work it out.
So, if anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it! I'm on the latest version. 9.0.2. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Daniel

I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

Shared Review: Can't Check for New Comments or Publish Comments

I am having a problem with a network file share (SMB) Shared Review. I am not able to Check for New Comments or Publish Comments. When I click those buttons all I get is the green circle continuously spinning forever. Other members of my team are able to check for and post new comments. I am able to connect to the SMB file share outside of Acrobat just fine. I am using Acrobat Pro XI with the latest update 11.0.03.

Try the following steps :
1. Keep the review file closed and remove the review enty from the Tracker. For this "Go to View->Tracker. Choose the review file under the Review->Joined node and from right click options choose 'Remove review from Tracker'."
Note: Do not remove the reviews which you had initiated i.e. those under Sent node. Otherwise, the review will removed from the server also.
Alternatively, you can delete the Collab and Synchronizer folder from the following location:
/users/+username+/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/+version+/
2. Sign out from Adobe.com comment. For this "Go to Preferences->Adobe Online Services". and click sign out.
3. Now open the review PDF again and login with the correct credentials.
Hope, this will resolve your issue.

Please ONCE AGAIN re-add podcasts to the iOS music app

I don't know why you feel the need to continue to try to separate my podcasts from my music, app-wise. You don't on the Mac - iTunes happily does both! I have a lot of podcasts, so i do NOT want to store them in the cloud. I listen to them on my computer (where I download and manage them) and on my phone, and I want to be able to listen to them within the same app as I do music. It was working. I liked it. Your podcast app is cludgey at best, and separating the podcasts out didn't work well last time you tried it. I wish you would have asked someone outside of your company before inflicting this decision upon us again. Please put them back into the music app.

I use the Nike+ running app that accesses my podcast playlist on the Music app while I am running. This latest update of iOS now does not let me keep my podcast playlist on my Music app. Ridiculous!!! Why did Apple change this?? I can no longer use my podcast playlist WITH Nike+, because Nike+ can not access the new, not improved, Podcast app.
Please for the love of all who buy and use Apple products, don't take our freedom away to set up our iPhones the way that we want them set up! Please add Podcasts back to the Music app.....PLEASE!!!!!!
FRUSTRATED!

Why can't I see new podcast episodes in iTunes?

I only subscribe to a couple of podcasts but have several where I pick-and-choose from new episodes to download and then listen to on my iPod.
Under past versions of iTunes I would simply right-click on a podcast in my iTunes Podcasts folder, select "Show all episodes" or something similar, and the latest episodes would appear at the top and I could pick and choose which ones to download. However, under the new version, I don't see that option anymore. All my podcasts seemed to have stopped at approximately September 24, 2013. I can hit "show old episodes" and it reveals ones older than that but I can't see the ones added since. Deleting all podcasts and then downloading a new episode from the store doesn't help either.
What am I missing? I don't want to subscribe to the podcasts and download episodes that don't interest me. The only workaround I have found is to just go to the iTunes store, search for the podcast, and then download new episodes from there but that seems unnecessarily cumbersome when in the past I could just use a couple mouseclicks or less to see what was new. I feel like I must be missing something obvious...

Carolyn's response is of no help.
Do I understand correctly that the feature where you could see the available podcasts in your podcast list is now gone? Thge only way to see a podcast you are not subscribed to is to go to the iTunes store? That s**ks! The iTunes store is slow; it displays images I don't want to see, and it is tedious. Can someone recommend a good Android phone and tablet...

ITunes 9 checks for new podcasts how often?

I can't seem to find this info. What is the interval between checks?

I've been looking around for a PDF manual for iTunes 9 for Windows. Is there one?
No manual.
But iTunes doesn't seems to work like a program written for Windows --
Right. It is written to work correctly and be used with common sense.
Generally you don't have to have "Windows think" to get something done.
the book isn't helping me at all with configuring iTunes for podcasts
There's not much to configure since there are only like three buttons dealing with podcasts.
Go to the iTunes stores, find the podcasts you want then subscribe (or download individual episodes).
Then select the iPod in iTunes, click the Podcasts tab and set up what you want to sync.
Also see this -> iTunes video tutorial: Podcasts

Is there a way to change the order in which iTunes searches for new podcasts?

When I tell iTunes to update podcasts, it searches for them in the order that I have subscribed to them. However, most of my favorite podcasts I've started listening to only very recently, so on a day with a large number of new podcasts I have to wait for a few minutes before iTunes even detects and places them on the "downloading" queue. The sheer number of podcasts I am subscribed to makes unsubscribing from all and then resubscribing in a more optimal order thoroughly unpleasant. Is there a way I can reorder the priority queue for checking for new podcasts, so that I can click 'refresh,' grab my favorites right away, put them on my iPod Shuffle, and the leave the rest to download?

I'm not sure, but I think the change was using the font "Segoe UI" instead of "Tahoma", and maybe, Lucida Grande.
I haven't tried it, but I assume you can edit the fonts, which are specified in (basically) a text file (at least, for iTunes 10).
Make a backup of the file before you edit anything (or you can repair/reinstall if you mess it up). See the following post for some more info:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12226047#12226047
You'll want to edit the "font", not the "xp-font". I can't tell you what fonts will work.

Hello Barry
Thanks for your reply, it did the trick, in a weird sort of way:
After deleting the mail preference file as you suggested, I could check for new mail messages without Mail.app crashing all over the place.
However all my accounts and the messages in them was gone. Okay, one problem solved and new one created.
Solution: Reinstalling my wifes and my own mail accounts and reimporting all the messages from the backup. Sounds boring right?
So I threw caution to the wind and replaced the new preference file with the old one that I had kept in the (disabled) folder. Thinking that it was an easily reversible step.
And it ruddy worked! Now I can again check for new mail messages and I have the old mail accounts intact. The logic of this however escapes me.
The morale: Its a weird world sometimes;-)
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.
cheers Nikolaj

In Internet Explorer, in the internet options, you can change the temporary internet files to check for newer versions of stored pages. Can this be done in Firefox? And How?

I just want to know how I can change the settings to check for newer versions of stored pages in Firefox.

There is a hidden preference that controls when Firefox checks for a newer version. # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''', double-click on it to change its value
For details on the possible values of his preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

How do I/Can I define the interval Mail checks for new email?

Can't Check For Downloads!

Hi All,
I pre ordered an album a while back and it finally came out. when I try to download it by checking for my downloads iTunes gives me this message "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable please try again later" I've tried this on all my computers and same error, how can I fix this?
- Zach W

I'm having the same problem--I think. Am able to download new podcast episodes, but no purchases. As far as I can tell, all purchases have been paid for. I did have to change my password a few days ago and since then have had this problem.

New Podcast Episode

When I open New Podcast Episode its evaporated! No trouble opening New Music Project, New Movie Score or Open Existing Project for my music ventures. I have checked the Template Folder and it holds New Movie Score only....no New Podcast Episode. Have also reinstalled iLife'06 and it's still missing. Seems strange in that everything else in in tact.
Can anyone help me out here? I've never been able to start a Podcast Project.

I've had a similar problem, and indeed only a radical System re-install helped. Before you take such a radical measure, you should check some things:
- Does the problem exist in other Apple programs? Like TextEdit, or iMovie? (Was the case with my computer.)
- If not, the problem seems to be GB specific, and you don't probably need to re-install the whole System. The steps to take are
1. Delete GB's two prefs files (com.apple.garageband.*).
2. Repair permissions.
3. Log in as a new user and see if the problem persists.
4. If all fails, delete all GarageBand files and re-install only GarageBand.

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.

Adding new podcast episodes?

After being approved, how do you add more podcast episodes to itunes through iweb?

As you add new episodes to your podcast, they will automatically become part of the rss.xml feed and people who subscribe to your podcast feed through iTunes will eventually get the new podcast episodes. This is pretty much the purpose of having RSS feeds, so that people can subscribe to one feed and automatically get new updates as they become available.
As with your podcast description, it just takes a little while for your feed to get updated with new episode information. Actually, everytime you access the rss.xml, you should be able to see the updates.
