Can't download: Subscribe and Get Episode buttons grayed out

I have an iPhone. I sync my contact/calendar etc info on 2 different computers: my home computer and my work laptop. I had never used Podcasts before.
A few days ago, while at work, somebody showed me a podcast, and I hit the subscribe button, not thinking much of it since it is free content. Then, when I got home, I realized I'd rather manage Podcasts from my primary personal computer. However, now all "Subscribe" and "Get Episode" buttons are grayed out! I deleted the Podcast from my work laptop, that didn't help. I reinstalled iTunes, even into a different directory, that didn't help.
I'm at a loss. Even though it is free content I can only play Podcasts on one computer? And can't change which one that is?
I have a ticket open with support but so far have only gotten the FAQ pasted into an email to me.
Can anybody help? Have you seen this before?

Just to clarify, on my work laptop I can download Podcasts just fine. However this is a temporary computer, I need to be able to do this on my home computer.
I simply did not realize that downloaded a Podcast once would make it so that's the only computer that can download any Podcasts at all. Is there no way to remove this restriction, change it so this laptop can't and my home computer can instead? De-authorize this computer from Podcast management, basically?
Any ideas at all? iTunes support has been no help, they keep telling me to re-install or to contact the publisher of the Podcast, but this is about ALL Podcasts, it's simply how iTunes works it seems.

Can't quit Photoshop and most tools are grayed out too!

Pretty much everytime I am working on a document in Photoshop, something happens and
most of the tools get grayed out, including Quit. I have to force quit to get out of it and reopen to do more changes.
Any suggestions?

Still can't figure this out... It's getting embarrasing in front of clients.

How can I download Firefox and get it working?

Hi,
I just bought a Macbook Pro yesterday. It's a 13 inch early 2011 and has Mac OSX Lion 10.7. I just downloaded firefox from mozilla. It mentioned Firefox 8.0 for Mac OSX. Now the file (firefox 8.0.dmg) is sitting in my application section and when I double click it it says the following disk image could not be opened and inside the box the reason mentioned is not recognised. I have been a PC (Windows) user all my life and this is my first Mac/ Apple product. I would appreciate all the help I can get with this. Thanks.

Thanks for responding..I tried downloading firefox again but was getting the same format Firefox 8.0.dmg so I cancelled the download figuring it'll be the same. Should I go ahead and download the same format again? The firefox download page automatically connected to that download page for Mac.

How Can I Download Podcasts When The Get Episode Button is Grayed Out?

I can purchase and download songs from the itunes store with no problem. When I attempt to download a podcast, however, I am unable to do so. The Get Episode button in the Price Column is grayed-out. This "gray-out" occurs with ALL podcasts, not just one or two podcasts. I uninstalled itunes and Quicktime from Windows and reinstalled it, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Any ideas?

Go to... Edit > Preferences > Parental Control
Make sure you don't have "Disable Podcasts" selected.
If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to tell you.

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.

For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

Greetings Heather,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

I can't download photos and videos from my iphone

Hi,
I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Can't download photos and videos from my iphone because my PC doesn't see it. Also my camera roll doesn't show right thumbnails and when i open a photo it shows it in low resolution. Only after i start editing it shows the photo itself in original resolution. iTunes recognises my phone but freezes on back up. When i updated my phone to ios 5 everything was wiped clear and i lost all of data that was in it. Please help me, i do not want to lose my data again.
I plugged it in to another pc (win7) but no files in DCIM.

appears to be one of the bugs associated with ios 5 that need to be worked out. (i had a problem where I had music on my phone, the phone didn't recognize the music but the computer could find it)
While I don't know how to fix the immediate problem, I have a workaround that will get you past this if you are willing...
My suggestion is to turn on icloud and photostream on your iphone, and download and install the icloud control panel on your pc found here
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
take a "picture" (quickly press the home button and lock button at the same time) of each picture on your device so they show up in your camera roll and will sync to your photostream cloud. This will in turn cause your pc to download the photos from your photostream cloud via the icloud control panel. Your photos will be on your computer, and you will never have to sync your phone to get photos off your iphone again.

How can I download documents and business presentations to my i pad

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD DOCUMENTS AND BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS TO MY IPAD ?

OK, I tried them all. Hit Caps doesn't do anything. E-mail to myself--ok, I got it in Mail, but can't get it out of there. I can read it there, but what if I accidently delete that mail? I have Pages. Can't get the PDF into iCloud. Dragged it to "books" in I tunes, and it is there, but doesn't get to the ipad.
Apple didn't used to be this complicated!!!!!
Whoops! I quit iTunes, and reopened. It synced with my iPad, and lo and behold there in books is my PDF. Would sure be easier if when I plugged iPad in it appeared on my desk like a disk, and I could just drag and drop stuff.

Iphone went out, when i did get it back on up in the top left of screen it continues to show searching, and wi-fi is grayed out keeping me from restoring it. what can i do to fix this?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710

Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710 directly from mobile web????!!#!
Y my mobile Lumina is not getting web continuously having full signal too

Hey Lumina710, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Im afraid if you are looking to put video or music content on your Lumia 710 you will have to download the files onto your PC and transfer them accross using Zune software. However you can still stream content rather than download it.
You can also purchase music in the Marketplace application.
I hope this helps!
