Download podcast problems
uh, every now and then, (usually when there is a podcast that i want) it will download for about 5 minutes, and then stop. then when i try to do it again... it wont download, and when i click the "!" for more info it says...
"There was a problem downloading <insert podcast name here>. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
what the poop does that mean and how do i fix it?

I had this same problem and figured out how to remedy it. you pretty much have to clear out a temp folder that itunes creates for downloads. the location is in
My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\.
In there you should see a folder called Podcasts. In that you should see the podcast/podcasts you're having problems downloading. Just delete the folder and try downloading it again. That should hopefully fix the problem.

I've tried download this 1 podcasts 3 times today and every time the network connection drops out and the estimated downnload time is like a huge amount of time e.g. 40 estimated minutes remaining for a 21.3MB Podcast
normally when i download podcasts i get really lower estimated times e.g. 15 mins it was working fine on friday here in australia and now all of a sudden its not working well is there
I checked my Itunes store connection status and its okay??It's happening today I think it could be to do with download limit near its limit
thats the only other reason i can think i could be -
Problems downloading podcasts.........
Just installed the latest version of iTunes and all the podcasts I subscribed to I can no longer download. I get the following error message
+"There was a problem downloading 'podcast'. An unknown error occurred(-39).+
+Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is is active and try again."+
Strange thing is though it only applies to the ones I subscribe to. Any other podcasts I can download like normal. I've even tried unsubscribing then subscribing again but this still doesn't work.
Any ideas?I too am having that problem in much the same configuration!
I managed to get my podcastings by continuasly asking the Itunes to download.
Rughly about 20 times-
Dont anyone know what couses the problem!

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. -
the podcast app is not fixed still wont download,did not find any solutions with anyones comments,they all have the same problem with this app.So how can you say the problem is fixed,get someone who knows how to really do something so it is not a recurring topic of frustration!!!!!
You might get more replies to this (but not from Apple, who you will recall, do not monitor these discussions) if you had posted in the Podcasts for iOS discussions, but never mind. At least in this post you've mentioned that your problem is with the Podcast App, something you didn't mention in your previous post. Consequently, my comments were based on "problems downloading Podcasts", not "problems with the new Podcast App".
(I don't use the new Podcast App, since I cannot install iOS 5 on my Touch. So I stick with the older method of listening to Podcasts on my iPod.) That said however...
It cannot have escaped Apple's attention that the new Podcast App has not been well received. Although these discussions tend to focus on what's wrong rather than what's right, it does appear that the App hasn't been well thought out.
In particular, the Auto Play feature, which - once an episode has finished playing, the "next most recent unplayed episode" will begin. Now, maybe I'm wrong but to me that means that it plays the Podcasts in reverse date order, so episode 19 will play after episode 20 and episode 18 after ep.19! That is how the iPod Classic plays Podcasts by default and the Classic forum is littered with posts from people who think this is barmy. (I think it's barmy too!)
I use an iPod Touch as well. Although not perfect, playing Podcasts on the Touch is far easier than on a Classic.
You are unlikely to find any "solutions" to the issues with the Podcast App, because the "solution" is for Apple to redesign it.
If you are assuming that the update of 25th july is a claim that it's fixed... oh dear! I notice that the App views, shown in the Store, still include that "tortoise and hare" screen with what appears to be the transport mechanism for a reel-to-reel tape deck. That alone tells me there is no real improvement to the App. It really is the worst graphic Apple have ever produced! I'll be surprised if anyone under 35 recognises that graphic as a reel-to-reel tape deck.
Actually, I have a question for you.
If you have the Podcast App installed on your Touch, does that mean that the previous method of listening to Podcasts has been removed from your iPod, or can you still access them in the Music App? If you can, abandon the Podcast App and use the old method. If not, please warn me in order that I don't purchase a new iPod Touch until Apple fix this!
Sorry I can't be the bearer of more positive news. -
Having problems downloading Podcasts to my Nano. I re-installed iTunes but that didn't help. I am not very computer literate. Can anyone help?
Nevermind, I finally figured it out. There was a different screen on iTunes.

Problem in updating applications and downloading podcasts after upgrading to iOS 6
Recently I have downloaded iOS 6. Since then I cannot download podcasts and cannot update applications
Haha, thanks for the tip! I was just curious if anyone had this problem at all. I just found it odd that before iOS 6, I had version 5.1 (which came standard with my iPad at the time) and there was no delay. You click on/off button for Airplane Mode or WiFi and the function would turn on or off instantly... Just annoying have to wait several seconds for a response. Thanks for the input though.

I have all the settings done properly for the podcasting app, but I am not getting all my podcast daily, especially the ESPN shows. The date of the shows are the dates in August, but after downloading, they show a date for 01/01/12. Anyone else have this problem?
I also download the podcast that I want and then 5 minutes later it says that this podcast is temporarily unavailable. I "Remove Podcast" and then select "Download Podcast" again and it downloads it. If I play it right away I get to listen to it. If I wait 5 minutes the Faffing thing is gone again.

Since updating to OS5 I cannot open downloaded podcasts and can't confirm if they have actually been downloaded. They appear in the "more" list in iTunes music, but won't play. I hear others have this problem but what is the solution ?
Install the Flex:Player App; http://itunes.apple.com/app/flex-player/id451024857?alreadyRedirected=1&mt=8
Then you can open the movies, keep tapping on them and choose Open in Flex:Player. -
How Do I Stop iTunes Downloading Podcasts?!
Situation: I use the iOS Podcasts app, from Apple. I have done so for a while now, no problem; keeps my podcasts up to date and deletes old ones.
Since the recent update to iTunes (11.1.3 is installed on my Mac), it now keeps itself in sync with podcasts.
I do not want this. I do not listen to podcasts on my Mac, and I don't want it to waste time/resources/electrons/bandwidth downloading podcasts. However, I could forgive that problem except for one crucial thing: it gets it wrong.
All. The. Time.
My podcasts are now being set as unread, old podcasts are being downloading on my iPhone, it's a crazy situation where sync is not working right. I've tried to delete podcasts on my Mac (they come back). I've unsubscribed from them and deleted them (they come back).
They're never effected on my iPhone, except, of course, that they're incorrectly updated with played information - old podcasts are resurrected from the dead, last played positions are wrong, and so on, despite never, ever, ever using iTunes to play a podcast.
How, please, anyone, can I stop iTunes from being "helpful?" This is superbly broken behaviour. It's not ideal if it downloads podcasts on my Mac, but the deal breaker is when it destroys all the positions and last listened and undeletes episodes I've deleted. That's kind of: what's the point of the iOS app if it fails the fundamental task of ... keeping your podcasts correctly up to date?
Help.In the Podcasts window click settings near the bottom left. Change to, for example, download most recent instead of download all.

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
download 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.

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.

While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?
Thanks.The problem went away on its own. Not sure what was the problem but perhaps somehow the system was out sync internally due installing Lion 10.7.3/Snow Leopard 10.6.8/10.7/10.7.3 with iTunes 6 installing after the 10.7.3 and then needing to be installed again after the second 10.7.3 install from the updater model.
I kept accepting the error message and checking iTunes music file. No podcast downloads were actually rejected. -
ITunes 11.0.2 no longer sees my downloaded podcasts
Upgraded to 11.0.2, and now when I select "Podcasts" in my library, it no longer shows any of my downloaded podcasts. I downloaded an episode from a new podcast, and that displays in my library. I have confirmed that all of the podcasts I am expecting to see are still available on my HDD. Additionally, there are now two "Podcasts" in the selection for choosing what part of my library I want to view.
I have already tried downloading and reinstalling iTunes, and that did not resolve the issue.
Suggestions? Ideas? Help?
Thanks.I experienced the same issue. I am familiar with it from previous versions of iTunes and located the correct "Show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" checkbox on your screen capture. Wasn't on mine. I decided to reinstall iTunes 11.0.1 and, as you can see from my screen grab, it is there now. Problem solved.

Itunes always crashes when I download podcasts.
The problem started with upgrade to itunes 10.6 or there about. My computer would crash when playing, crash on importing, crash on downloading podcasts. Most of the problems went away with the itunes 10.6.1 update, but when I try to download podcasts by pressing the "get all" button, the downloading will start and within a few minutes the system will give me the beach ball of death. Force Quit will not work, and nothing else will work either. I then have to press command + control + power (on my keyboard) – to restart. Then I use the button in the back of the imac to restart again. I always have to press both sets of buttons because the first restart always leads me to a non-startup screen with a flashing file folder. When I press the button again the imac finds its hard drive and starts up correctly. Since the "get all" button didn't work I tried to press the individual “get” buttons, but if I hit one button while the other item is downloading it can lead to a beachball and I start all over again! I have a large podcast list and there are still hundreds of podcast episodes left to download.
Hi...
Post your topic in the iTunes Match community here.
More likely to get more feedback from iTunes users there.
