Can't download podcasts, internet works itunes can't see it.

PC 64 bit, complies. I run a diognistic from the help menu sees internet. No secured access to itunes. What's up?

I have had a problem with iTUNES 7 downloading podcasts as well. If I select more than a couple at a time to download, windows crashes and reboots. Upon rebooting, when I try to re-download the same podcasts, I get the exclamation point icon next to the podcast indicating a network connection issue. What I have to do to resolve it is go to My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads/Podcasts then delete the folder that is named after the podcast. Restart iTunes and then the download works again. I think the guilty file is actually in that folder named (xxx).plist. I still don't understand why iTunes crashes like this though.

Can't download podcasts after installing iTunes 7

I have a 6 gig nano, was using iTunes 6 for a long time and built a huge list of podcasts that updated daily. After upgrading to iTunes 7 none of my podcasts will download. If you hit the refresh button they all just post that icon next to the title looking like they are updating but none of them are.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled a number of times. I'd tried each of the updates that have come out. After I do a fresh install it updates the podcasts once, but if I hit refresh again it stops all of them and won't continue updating them.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Video Podcast - feed working ITune won't download recent episode.

Hi:
I have uploaded my 6 episode using blipTV as video host. Until now have not had a problem.
Episode uploaded.....Feed is working (I tested), for some reason I nor anybody else for that matter can see episode using iTunes. Subscribed and downloaded, all episode except new one work. Pinged iTunes still nothing.
Not sure what next step is. Very strange, I was thinking can I or should I re-enter my feed from bliptv. I looked into changing feeds and it appears I my complicate things.
Feel bad for my viewers, iTunes is my biggest viewing vehicle....BUMMER!!!
Help would be appreciated.
I'm in iTunes if you search Furnitology or

How long ago did you add the episode? Sometimes it takes iTunes a couple of days (or even a week) to update your listing. As long as you are able to download the newest episode, all of your subscribers should be getting the new stuff too. (It's just folks browsing iTunes won't see your newest of the new; once they subscribe they would get the new ones.)
I would be patient for awhile, as lots of people on this board have been reporting that iTunes has been quite slow on its updates lately. If it still isn't working after a few days, post links to your actual feed (not to the iTunes store link) and let us have a look at it.
BTW, are you aware that you have 2 listings for your "Watkis Words of Wisdom" podcast?

Why can't I download podcasts into my iTunes on my phone?

The Podcasts app is not installed on “iPhone”, so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone. The app only works with celluar data, which I pay for, and i need a connection so I can't listen to them on a plane. BS.

No, there is another issue at work. Those of us who have our desktop/laptop download the podcasts and then sync the phone to auto transfer the podcasts without streaming and eating our data are the ones experiencing this. I was also experincing this when trying to manually transfer them. The podcasts will play in the app via cloud, but not if they were transferred.
There is a temporary fix, if weird and user intensive, where you select the podcast episode (or select all for my entire library that wouldn't load), get info, an under options select media kind "podcast". For some reason, this has broken in apple's back end where new podcasts are loaded as music. Pretty stupid since this is the setting that determines if it is loaded into the music player, or the podcast app....
Hopefully apple fixes this soon.

How can I add manually-downloaded podcasts into the iTunes Podcase lists?

I see no way to "import" an existing podcast MP3 file into the Podcast screen so it shows up in an existing Podcast list. I need this because I have older podcast episodes which the downloaded subscriptions do not include anymore, but these old episodes really belong in the same podcast list as the newer ones.
This is a glarimg omission that makes the podcast screen inflexible and hard to use - plz help!
Thanks,

I tried doing that but it didn't work.
Anybody know the magic to make this work?

Problem downloading podcast feed to itunes

this website exists, but won't rss to itunes because the url could not be found on the server.
(www.undergroundfellowshiptelevision.info) what can i do to fix this?
i've been fighting with iweb to produce a podcast that can be found in the itunes store, (as roger w. knows very well) i seriously don't know why these mac products don't play nicely together.
a duplicate site exists, and DOES rss to itunes... but won't publish to the itunes store, because it is a forwarded url, i think. (www.undergroundfellowship.info/uftv)

That site gives the following link for the feed:
itpc://www.undergroundfellowshiptelevision.info/undergroundfellowshiptelevision/ happiness/rss.xml
which does not work. The feed is actually at
http://web.me.com/growingdeeper/uftv/happiness/rss.xml
but iTunes is working from an outdated feed at
http://uftv.undergroundfellowship.info/rss2.aspx
So you will need to access that feed and apply the method detailed here to change itunes to a feed at whatever address you want it to be at (and then make sure the web page reflects the correct feed - you could also give the iTunes URL).
If you can no longer access the feed at http://uftv.undergroundfellowship.info/rss2.aspx you will have to submit a new feed as if it were a new podcast (you may need to change the title to get it accepted). I would recommend submitting the actual feed URL in either case, not using a redirect.

TS2313 error message downloading podcasts in itunes

Whenever I try to download podcast episodes from iTunes I get an error message that reads: "There was a problem downloading <podcast>. The file directory is corrupted or unreadable." I don't understand this, because it happens with all of my podcasts. It says check the URL connection, but the internet is fine and iTunes is working just fine. I have previously downloaded these podcasts before without problems. I unsubscribed and deleted all of the podcasts' content and then resubscribed, but it did not help. What do I do?

I am marking this as answered as no-one seems to be interested. I guess I just have to be careful to run iTunes at least once a week to get all the episodes on my podcast list.

Unable to Download Podcasts Since 9.0.2 - No "Get Episode" Button

Ever since the update to 9.0.2, I am unable to download podcasts from the iTunes store. The old and, it has to be said, reliable "Get Episode" button is nowhere to be seen. Clicking on the subscribe button brings me the warning splash screen, "Are you sure you want to subscribe?" but when I click "Yes" nothing happens.
The new iTunes Store design may be sexy and all that but it lacks the essential element of functionality. Black background, sure. 3-D buttons and windows, bring it on. But best of all... how about it just works?
I produce a podcast and it is very frustrating to think that all our hard work won't get heard because of a technical glitch. Is there a workaround? Or is it possible to go backwards in time to an older (more functional version of iTunes)? It seems like a pretty substantial problem... anyone else?

I've got iTunes 9.0.3. I'm clicking the FREE button (and every other button I can find) on podcast lists but since they changed the design I still can't download a single episode of a podcast.
Any help will be appreciated.
I guess not many people actually download podcasts or there would be a real storm about this - it's so basic, yet it doesn't work and there are almost no posts about it.
Thanks in advance.

How do I delete a podcast episode in itunes 11?

I typically download podcast episodes in iTunes and then sync them with my phone. I listen to the podcasts on my iPhone and then delete them when done. I have been doing this for years. Now, I cannot figure out how to delete the individual episodes from my podcasts in iTunes 11. What am I missing?

You and me both!
I started out with an Apple+ way back when. We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes. My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard. (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
Sigh.
I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY! I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS. BUMMER!
Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts. UCK!

I am using ITUNES 11 on Win 7 64 bit. I can download podcasts to my IPOD touch just fine but when I click on the ITUNES store I get an error message that stays "ITUNES has stopped working". How do I trouble shoot or fix this? Thanks

Try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:
Re: iTunes 11 crashes when opening the store - no error message

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I downloaded podcast from a polish radio site. They are fine and working on my macpro but when I try to copy them to my ipod I get a massage that " this podcast can not be played on this ipod" . what can I do?

Or because the episodes are video but are in a format which plays on iTunes but not on an iPod Touch. Only the originator of the podcast can do anything about that.

I can't seem to download anything on my iTunes when I use Check for available downloads. I have preorders that I can't download cos it just says 'iTunes store temporarily unavailable' even tho when I actually go on iTunes itself it work fine..

I've been in contact with Apple support team regarding this issue. I have about 9 items available for download(preorders mostly) but it's not listed under download. When I click on Check for available download, a message with 'iTunes temporarily unavailable' appears but when I go to the iTunes store itself, its working just fine. I've already been charged twice for the same movie which Apple have kindly refunded me for one of them but I still haven't managed to download that movie yet. Apple says its a problem with my computer and given me all sort of ways to rectify the issue and still no hope. Everything else seems to work just fine including the actual iTunes store, wifi syncing and cable syncing etc. Can somebody help me with this if you know how to solve this problem or if you've had the same issue now or before?
I am using the latest Software updates on my iTunes and these 9 items were purchased whilst on this new updates

Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts, like in the older version of iTunes? I find it frustrating that I see only one at a time now ! Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.
