Cannot subscribe to certain podcasts

I've recently come across a problem I've nevre encountered where if click the podcast directory button on the podcasts screen I get the following message:
"Your request could not be completed.
The item you've requested is not currently available in the Thai Store."
I've always been able to subscribe to them before and attempting to subscribe via the links on the respective sites generates the same message.
Any ideas?

It may depend on what type of podcast it is - some podcasts are not available outside the UK. The BBC say:
'UK-only podcasts include those which are predominantly music-focused and contain clips of commercial music (e.g. BBC Radio 1's Chart Show, or Radio 3's Jazz Library) and those which offer sports commentary.'

Cannot subscribe to paid podcast

I am trying to subscribe to a paid podcast. when I enter the "url" sent by the producer itunes asks for my apple ID and password but when I try to enter them I get an error message saying ID or password incorrect. I signed out of itunes completly, changed my passwpord, signed in again, synced my ipod, downloaded a new (free) podcast selected at random with no problem. What am I doing wrong with this paid subscription?

I figured this out. I was entering my apple password. However, I needed to enter the ID and password sent by the podcast producer.

Cannot Subscribe to Current iTunes Podcast??

I cannot subscribe to the following podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/volvo-ocean-race-2008-09/id299240455
Each time I click the View in iTunes botton, I get the following.
Firefox can't find the file at itms://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/volvo-ocean-race-2008-09/id299240455.
* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
I use the latest versions of Windows7, Foxfire and iTunes.
Any idea what the problem can be?

I'm not sure I totally understand what your problem is, but a couple of things to note...
1. To get Podcasts to show in your Source list, go to iTunes Preferences, General and put a check next to Podcasts.
2. Did you download the podcasts from the iTunes Store or from NPR's Web site? Podcasts downloaded from sources other iTunes will usually go into your Music library along with all your music tracks.
Does that help at all? Not sure what you mean when you say: "When I double click on the podcast at the bottom, it won't play." What window are you in? The bottom of what? Please explain further.

Certain podcasts won't download.

I'm having problems downloading certain podcasts to my itunes. So work and other don't. When it doesn't work it's giving me the "err=-3259" , but its not a firewall issue because my computer is open to sharing music as it is. I am running off the most recent version of itunes and i have also tried unsubscribing from the podcasts and resubscribing.
Help please....

The same problem is happening to me too. I can't download the video podcasts of the Rachel Maddow Show. I keep getting the message: Internal Server Error. Please check the URl or something like that. When i try to play or download it through apple tv, i get the message "This movie cannot be played". When i try to do the same through my iphone, i get basically the same message. It's been this way since the Christmas holidays and its getting very very irritating. I've been watching the SHow for a while now with no problems whatsoever. But now...I can watch every other podcast except this one. What on earth is going on???

How can I subscribe to different podcasts on different computers?

Up until recenlty, I could susbcribe to different casts on two different computers. I sync my iPod with my iMac at home, and use this for most of my podcast listening. At work, I had a different set of podcasts I listened to at my desk. Now, I get both sets of casts on both computers. I don't want this! Seems like it came with an upgrade to iOS7, and or something to do with iCloud, but I cannot figure this out.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Exact same issue. I subscribe to Podcasts on my computer and my husband subscribes to different Podcasts on his computer, but we use the same Apple account. If I delete Podcasts from one computer it deletes them from the other. This wasn't the case until the recent upgrade to iTunes. I don't use the Cloud for any type of syncing, everything is done manually through iTunes.

Torch 9810 - Cannot Browse For New Podcasts

Hello,
This is my first post, but I have had a Blackberry for many years and love it.
My current phone is a Torch 9810, OS 7.1 Bundle 921 (v7.1.0.267 Platform 5.1.0.230). I recently decided to look into subscribing to some podcasts because I spend a lot of time commuting. However, I cannot seem to browse for any suggested podcasts within the app, even though all documentation that I can find refers to there being an "explore podcasts" option in it.
I was able to manually add a podcast and download episodes for that podcast, but this option to browse through a suggested podcasts catalogue is nowhere to be found. It makes it very difficult for me to find podcasts that I want to listen to if I cannot easily browse for something which catches my interest!
The feature, seen at 0:27 in this video, which was uploaded only 4 days ago by RIM, is not present in my app, as you can see in this photo:
The "add podcast channel" option only leads to a text box where I insert a URL or name that I already have for a specific podcast, no browsing. Even with the specific name of a podcast to add, this is a very cumbersome and constricting process, and eliminates the possibility of happening upon something new and interesting by chance, which to me is one of the primary appeals of podcasts.
Any help I could get in resolving this discrepancy between what all documentation says should be available, and what I actually have access to, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I have the same issue. I had 100+ podcasts but after a failed backup to computer they disappeared. What's worse is there is no option to browse for podcasts. The OS was updated too. Maybe the option is gone.

Iphone won't let me play certain podcasts..Why Why Why???

Everytime I try to play certain podcasts (most of them). I get a message saying "this movie cannot be played". Why?? Why can't the iPhone let me play all podcast? Is there a way?? Please help..

Some podcasts are not in a format which the iphone supports.

About a certain Podcast

I used to subscribe to a certain podcast a long time ago on a different iPod which happened to be a video. The name of the podcast was something around Strong Bad Emails or something. Now I have a new nano, and I want those podcasts but I cant find them. Did iTunes take it off?

They're gone. Read this:

Cannot delete greyed out podcasts on Ipod Touch

I cannot delete greyed out podcasts on my ipod Touch since uprading to iOS 5.1. They don't appear when connected to itunes. Scarcely the end of the world but a little annoying! I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

This appears to be a bug. The only way I have been able to resolve this myself is to unsync and resync all of my podcasts via iTunes.

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. How do I revert back to an older version?

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in. I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead. I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
Try logging into a site again.

Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

I have recently used iTunes to subscribe to some Podcasts flawlessly. Then suddenly, I could see the latest Podcasts in iTunes, but they were no longer available on my 160GB Classic. All other functions appear ok. Can anyone out there save me from myself

Help ! I have recently used iTunes to subscribe to some Podcasts flawlessly. Then suddenly, I could only view the latest downloaded Podcasts in my iTunes account. I no longer had any Podcasts on my 160GB Classic. Can anyone save me from me ? I would truely appreciate any suggestions or direction. Thank you. [email protected]

Connect your iPod to iTunes and check on the Device/Podcasts pane; there are several options for which Podcasts are "kept on/left on" the iPod at each Sync. Are they set the way you want? For instance, if the setting is "to keep on the iPod only new Podcasts", that would cause older Podcasts to be removed.
If you need to chnage the setting, you will need to Sync the iPod afterwards for the change to take effect.

Does subscribing to a podcast on iTunes and Podcasts app result in duplicates on my iPhone

If I subscribe to a podcast on iTunes and also subscribe to it on the Podcasts app then sync my iPhone (with podcast syncing turned on), will it result in two copies of the episodes on my iPhone?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

Can I subscribe to a podcast directly on my apple tv

I am currently using my imac to subscribe to podcasts and then syncing to apple tv but this obviously means i need the computer on. Is there any way to do this on the apple tv directly? Sorry if this is a no brainer...

you can view them direct on the appletv (streaming them), or you can download individual episodes. but you can't subscribe to a podcast on the appletv.
