Certain podcast won't download in home WiFi

hi,
recently the podcast "NBC Nightly News(video)" (also the audio one) stopped updating and downloading using my home wifi, even when i force it to update it doesn't recognise there are new episodes and when i choose certain episode (after 3.12.14) and try to download it shows Download error. without specifying what is the error), the last epsiode it recognises is from 3.12.14, the problem occurs on my iPad, iPhone and PC, however using different wifi network (such as university wifi) the podcast updates regularly and downloads the episodes.
I own iPhone 4S and iPad 4 both using iOS 8.1.2.
Is there a way to detect what the problem is? i don't have the problem with other podcasts, and i am not sure what to check with my network (assuming it's the problem).
thanks
guy

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of. It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

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???

itunes 8, now 8.01 refuses to download certain larger podcasts. There is no firewall enabled, no norton/antivirus software, and yes, i have checked all of the other relevant information on the discussion boards and tried those that seemed applicable.
anyone have any suggestions? thanks in advance

HT1911 I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect). I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.

So I can't download itunes software updates or update my iphone even though I have just verified my info. I know others that have this problem but can't get support to resolve it.

My podcasts won't download from the computer to my ipod touch all of a sudden!

All of a sudden my podcasts won't download from the computer to the ipod touch anymore. It still downloads changes in music and apps, but it just seems to be podcasts. Can anybody help me diagnose my problem?

If they are video podcasts, they now appear in the Video app after iOS 5.

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

Hey Brittany,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve done quite a bit of troubleshooting to try and resolve the issue with your MacBook Pro not connecting to your Wi-Fi network. If you haven’t already, take a look at the article linked below which provides some additional troubleshooting suggestions that may help you resolve the issue.

MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet. Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem. We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that. We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus. He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

Forgetting the Network didn't work. It's dong the same thing.
So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

TS2743 My podcast won't download from iTunes for anyone, anymore

Hi guys! I am the owner/host of Dorktown Podcast. Sadly most listeners (me included) are not able to download our shows off of iTunes. It has been on there for seven years and has been fine previously and nothing has changed from the feed. You can stream it but it won't download. The podcast feed and files are fine as they work on all other formats (including Stitcher). There is plenty of space on peoples phones or computer for the download.I
When I report the problem directly on iTunes it keeps telling me I've 'timed out' after I send the report even though it's only taken me seconds to paste the report and send it.
Please please please I hope somebody can help as it's driving me crazy that people can no longer download off iTunes.
Thank you! -Mike

I subscribed to the URL http://www.walkingoliver.com/pak/wopodcast_xmlfeed1.xml in iTunes and episode 8 started downloading successfully. So perhaps the problem is solved?

IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
It's only my iPod that won't connect.
Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Video podcast won't download?

After installing the latest version of iTunes on my G4 iBook the video podcast will not download, an error message pops up right when the podcast is done downloading. I was able to do this with the older software.

I am having the same issue and then some. Itunes will only load a couple videos to the ipod. It will quict the installation of the the movies saying it's a bad format. Also my ipod will not play podcasts and it'll shut down. I didn't have these issues before installing itunes 7. I have heard of the issues with itunes 7 and wanted to see if anyone else is having issues with communication and play back on the ipod.

Tried everything - ipad2 still won't connect to home wifi

Situation
- home network wireless router is a linksys wrt54g - no login
- other laptops connect fine
- ipod touch connects fine
- new ipad2 works fine on home wifi until I upgrade to ios5.0.1
- now see three bars in the upper left next to the word ipad, with a spinning circle to the right of that when I open Safari (just hangs trying to open any site)
- new ipad2 works fine on other wifi (office, airplane, public hotspots) both before and after upgrade
- set to DHCP with a local IP address of 192.168.1.102, subnet of 255.255.255.0, router of 192.168.1.1,
What have I tried?
- turning wi-fi off and on w/in the ipad2 wifi networks screen
- hard reset of the ipad2 (home / power until apple logo, then release)
- network settings reset
- forget this network
- power cycling the router and cable modem
- manually deleting the ipad2 from the dhcp clients table via the router admin gui
- switching on and off airplane mode
- adding and deleting a client id from the network screen (by default it is blank)
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

So - after spending an hour on the phone/hold with apple with no solutions - I did a reset of the router - leaving the default SSID of 'linksys' - and it now works.

Loops and certain instruments won't download properly

The loops won't don't download as well as certain instruments. Any help?

This is the WMP plugin: np-mswmp , so you have it.
You may be missing a codec to play that content or some extension or security software is blocking that content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Won't connect to home wifi?

why won't this **** thing connect to my home network? It was working previously and now won't connect. wifi is operational with other devices. ***???

Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If that doesn't work, cycle power on your network router.
If neither of those work (unlikely), try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home keys together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Certain podcasts I can download on the phone but not from the desktop

This is might sound weird so I apologize if I confuse people.
Tekzilla has separate RSS feeds for different versions of their podcast. Small quicktime, large quicktime, HD quicktime. Obviously with iTunes you can sync the iPhone with podcasts or you can download the podcast themselves over wifi on the iPhone itself. I have been able to sync the small and large quicktime versions with no trouble at all.
It's the HD quicktime version that is giving me trouble.
If I signup for the HD quicktime version of the podcast in iTunes it downloads like it is supposed to but that version of the podcast can not sync up with my iPhone ever and I get the message about how it can not be played on iPhone. Now the weird thing is I can download the HD quicktime version directly on the iPhone itself using wifi and the iTunes app on the iPhone itself and it plays with no problem at all.
My question is how is it possible that I can't sync the HD quicktime version of a podcast from iTunes yet I can download that same version over wifi and it plays perfectly?
I know there really is no point in watching the HD quicktime version on the iPhone's small screen but my point is why is it possible to download it on the iPhone and not being able to get it from the desktop version of iTunes? It sounds like there is some kind of error in the desktop iTunes app.

Hi Jeff
Thank you for your reply on my request.
Im working on 2 windows 7 computers.
The one at my work downloads fine and fast, the other never ends its "waiting to install"

Ipod touch won't connect to home wifi?

the wifi was working fine until yesterday and now the connection won't even show up even though it works fine on my laptop. i've tried turning the ipod off and on, i've tried resetting the router, i've tried resetting the network settings on the ipod, still nothing. i can't do the thing where you hold down the power button and the home button because the power button is broke and the home button is almost broken as well. please help!!!

I have the same problem. I tried restart, restore software (even though it is brand new!), reset network settings, restarted modem + router. All my other non-Apple wifi connection are perfectly fine. Just the same message: "UNABLE TO JOIN THE NETWORK".
