Deleting Podcasts Not Yet Downloaded

I have iTunes 11.1
The following is my problem.
If a podcast is downloaded(blue button), I can delete it by pressing on the Delete button.
The same command does not work for a podcast which is listed but NOT downloaded (no blue button)
How can I delete these podcasts which are shown but not downloaded?
Cheers
John

It's been 4 days since I posted this note and since then I have discovered that all of us podcast afficionadoes are afflicted by the same problem. It is a fault in the upgrade of iTunes to 11.1 and it makes life miserable for those of us who love our podcasts.
I phoned Apple Support in Canada about the problem yesterday and the rep wasn't even aware of it but she did say she would pass the observation on to those who could fix it. So I would urge all of you, who are as upset about this as I am, to call the Apple Support people in your country to let them know. The more of us that speak up, the more likely it is that they will attend to the issue. It's unthinkable for me that they would leave this lousy "upgrade" as is. So call now!
Cheers

My old computer died, and all of my itunes music is now on a USB. I have a new computer, but I have not yet downloaded the new itunes to it. How do I go about getting all of my music from the USB onto the new itunes without losing it all?

I need help getting my music from my USB to itunes onto my new computer. I have not yet downloaded itunes to my new computer, because I wanted to know how to do things first.

Is there no ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM?

Is there anyway to return something after purchases....hasn't been watched and not yet downloaded

is there anyway to cancel a purchase, has not been watched and is not yet downloaded?

You cannot call itunes support at all.
Ther is no telephone support for itunes support.
You can contact them via the support link and ask for an exception to the no refunds rule, but I would not expect it to happen.

How to delete purchased items that have not yet downloaded

How do I delete purchased itune items that have not been downloaded. When I first started using itunes to download movies I would recieve both hd and standard and I don't want both.....I want to delete all the hd ones.

Sorry, but you can't remove things already in the download queue. If you don't want the HD versions, just buy the standard-definition versions ("Buy Movie" rather than "Buy HD Movie"). As to movies already in the queue, it will be by far the easiest to just let them finish downloading.

I accidentally bought a book instead of an audiobook. I have not yet downloaded it. Can I get a refund from iTues store?

I wanted an audiobook, I accidentally bought a book instead. As books have to be downloaded before they can be read I ha
e not yet done that so it is unread. I have also bought the audiobook that I wanted. Is it possible to have a refund for the book bought in error?
Thanks

Podcasts not automatically downloading

Hi,
I am subscribed to the This American Life podcast, and have it set to download new episodes when they are available. However, each week they release a new TAL but the new episode does not download, or even appear, in my podcast library.
I have tried unsubscribing and subscribing again, but this didn't work.
Any suggestions or idea what is going wrong?
Thanks!

Depending on how often your iTunes is to check for the podcasts -- and how long you leave your system up and running and how long you have iTunes open -- the podcast may not get downloaded. Some daily podcasts are only in the store for a short time and are then replaced by the new one the next day. You can try hitting the Refresh button at the bottom right of the iTunes podcast window in your library. (That's what I do when grabbing my nightly dose of Countdown.)

Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Please always include the URLs of your Store page and feed to save me having to search for them. For references, your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/church-of-the-cross/id317330237
and your feed is at http://www.cotcboston.org/Podcast.xml
You have introduced a fatal error into your feed which is rendering it unreadable. The title for the entry of 24 November 2013 is given as
<title>Love's Durability & Permanence</title>
You cannot have an ampersand ('&') by itself in a feed because in XML it signifies the beginning of a code sequence; as this is never completed it blocks everything afterwards in the feed, and as this includes the closing tags it blocks the opening tags too.
You must replace the ampersand with either the word 'and' or the code

Deleted Podcasts keep being downloaded again, and again, and again

iTunes seems to want me to keep listening to old podcasts.
Since the last update, old, long-deleted podcasts keep being re-downloaded as new whenever the podcasts are refreshed (either manually or automatically). I spend a good 15 minutes going through and deleting them. Later that day, iTunes downloads all of them again.
I've had this program in the past but it was working alright for awhile. Now, since the last update of iTunes, it is back.
A recurring theme with iTunes in particular and Apple OS in general that updates tend to bring back problems that were fixed previously.
Can we just get this to work? I don't have time to keep re-deleting this and iTunes wants to download far more old podcasts than I have room for on my iPhone.

Rebuild your Mail index:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When it's done, your emails should be back to normal again.

Podcasts not fully downloading

When I download any podcast from itunes - it does not download the full podcast. For example a podcast , I know is 15 minutes long - itunes downloads about 3 minutes.
I tunes does not post any errors and says ''Done'' when downlading is complete.
Purchasing songs however is not a problem.
Can anybody help?

I've had the same problem with podcasts not downloading automatically. The following from The Complete Guide to iTunes Books, Podcasts + iTunes U is the most likely explanation:
"...iTunes will stop downloading new podcast episodes automatically for any podcasts that you have not listened to in at least five days. This is presumably to prevent your library from getting cluttered with podcast episodes that you don’t regularly listen to, however some users who may want to collect episodes for infrequent listening may find this to be annoying. Simply selecting these stale podcasts and initiating a manual update by right-clicking and choosing Update Podcast from the context menu will resume regular automatic downloads until the next five-day cycle elapses. Mac users who would rather see this automated can check out the Update Expired Podcasts AppleScript at Doug’s AppleScripts for iTunes, which will force regular batch-updates of all of your podcasts."

Deleted podcasts keep re-downloading

iTunes for Windows v 11.1.5.5
I'm not seeing a lot of complaints about this problem in the support communities, so I'm guessing it's a problem on my end.
Podcasts I've deleted keep re-downloading. At first I thought it was NPR doing some sort of maintenance as it was only their podcasts. Then I started seeing it with other networks, too. Today several podcasts that I had unsubscribed from and deleted re-appeared.
Any solutions to try?
TIA,
--Charlene

Thanks for the reply. The procedure isn't entirely clear (I think there may be a typo or two). Is that what you're suggesting?
unsubscribe
turn off auto-downloads
manually refresh
re-subscribe
Thanks,

Family sharing - how to see allowed but not yet downloaded apps?

I am using family sharing with some of my relatives - and I have to ask for permission since I am still under 18 years old. Is there a way to display a list of all apps the family organiser approved - even if I haven't buyed them yet (I pressed - by accident - on the cancel button instead of entering my password and can't remember the name of the app)?
Thanking you in anticipation

Although this will hide it from their purchase list, I don't think there is any way to prevent them from re downloading once permission has been granted.
They could search the App Store & re download it without you getting notification since you originally gave permission.
I guess you could remove their Apple ID entirely & create a new one but that might not be practical.

Podcast: Not even downloading.

I just got this iPod around a month ago and after some problems i got it working. Anyways when I try to Subscribe to a certain podcast it won't download and just goes to the list of podcasts with that big "!" to the left of it. The podcast is called "Penn Radio Podcast, Penn Jillette", I have his other podcast where where it's from 106.7 or something like that.
Anyone know whats going on, have the same problem, or have the same problem? Thanks.

Most responders on this forum prefer to respond directly posts, not through e-mail. This also provides other responders an opportunity to comment on the suggestions and increase the liklihood of finding a good solution for your problem.
Do you have any error indicators (dark circle containing an exclamation point) on the podcast? Are you subscribed to any other podcasts that are working? Can you browse the iTunes Store and play 30-second song samples from any music in the store?

I updated to iOS 7.0.2 and cannot open purchased books not yet downloaded

At first I couldn't purchase the book using the iBooks app, then I purchased it on my computer and tried to download it to my phone. It looks like its downloading but then it never actually does and every time i try to open it, it just tries to download again. Its not the book or the file because I tried it out on another book that I had already purchased I had the same problem. Books that I had already downloaded on the old iOS work, just not new ones. Any ideas? Its pretty annoying to buy a book and then not be able to read it

try a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
You can also try - settings - general - reset - reset network settings.

Podcast not yet accepted (or denied) after 19 days. Normal?

Hello,
We submitted our podcast for review on 4/23/08 and got a notification that it was under review, but we haven't heard anything since. The feed (http://www.cheesecast.net/tastings.xml) validates properly and has a couple of episodes ready to go, but hasn't shown up yet in iTunes.
We had one other feed (http://www.cheesecast.net/podcasts.xml) get accepted after about one week, so I'm thinking that something's wrong with this newer feed.
Is this typical? Can anyone share their experiences with timing on approvals?
Thanks,
Greg Ferris

Ok... I think I figured it out... I was looking under the "See All" link under Featured which is a different story:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#featured
What I needed to do was to look under "Quick Links" and click Browse.
All makes sense now. Thanks everyone for your help!

ITunes freezing when I sync 60GB Ipod, podcasts not completely downloading

I've got a pentium 4 3.0 with 1GB of RAM running winXP pro. I just re-installed winxp after formatting the HD so everything should be clean. All it has on it is WinXP, Office 2007, Photoshop, and Itunes. When I connect my ipod, a 60GB video, itunes will freeze the entire computer up for a few minutes while it syncs. Also, many podcasts, most notobly "This american life" will only download about halfway (an hour long podcast will be 15 minutes or so long). This happens pretty consistently. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
