Downloading Podcast at a specific time

Currently I have setup iTunes to download podcasts hourly at about :28m after the hour. I would like to change that to update daily at 6:00AM but I can see no way to change the actual time that the update occurs. Any ideas?
Thanks

The hourly, daily and weekly automatic downloads are all relative to the most recent manual download. Manually download one podcast at 6:00 a.m. and then set the preferences to download daily. Don't forget that you will mess up that time if you manually download again.

  • Downloaded podcast has incorrect high time

    Hi all,
    I have created a podcast under Copster's Historical Beats. History Of Rave Volume 1 downloads with the correct time. History Of Rave Volume 2 has a time of 1:20:55, however once the file has downloaded, the time shows as 4:42:27.
    You can verify this by downloading from this feed:

    Can anyone help me please?!

    It is set to keep all episodes, so I don't understand why they have gone missing...

  • How can I set iTunes to check for new podcasts at a specific time of day?

    Hi guys,
    Anybody know a work around for this? I thought it was just a matter of clicking the refresh button at the time I want iTunes to look for new podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
    I want iTunes to look for new podcasts at 2 am every day. So, at 2 am, I clicked the refresh button in the Podcasts section in iTunes. It would then say, in the settings, that iTunes last checked for podcasts at 2 am and will look again at 2 am the next day. Awesome, not. Every single time I try this, iTunes always resets itself and decides to look for podcasts at 2:49 pm. I can't work it out.
    So, if anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it! I'm on the latest version. 9.0.2. Thanks for reading.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
    Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

  • Downloading podcast one by one.

    Hello,
    I have iTunes 7.0.2.16 and I want to downloading podcast one by one.
    How can I do that?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I'd like to download podcast one at a time instead of 3 at a time. Why doesn't it just download one at a time?
    At least ONE could get finished faster instead of the slooooooow rate of three. I have DSL and it still takes hours to download 40 podcasts!! ONE at a time!!! Please, how do I change the default setting?

  • 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 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.

    Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?  The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

    Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

    I honestly wouldn't do that.  You have no idea if the software update server will be properly functioning then.  Also you should always backup your data prior installing updates. 
    Note when you install updates, you also have the option to install later, but just download first.
    Always make sure the updates work with each other by finding out the requirements from the developer before installing.  A clone backup will let you recover yourself to the point before the install, if you do it right.

  • How do I turn off the feature that stops downloading podcasts because I haven't listened for a period of time?

    iTunes automatically stops downloading podcasts when I haven't listened to them for some arbitrary period of time. I want to turn this off so it always downloads.

    iTunes will stop updating a podcast subscription if you have more than five episodes downloaded but not listened to, as detailed in this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
    which states:
    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.
    There is no setting in iTunes to change this, but there is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):

  • Can't download podcast episodes over cellular data

    I am running the current ios software and have the current Apple Podcast app installed. Since updating to 7.0.4 and installing the current app version, I now am having issues with downloading podcast episodes using cellular data specifically. You try and download an episode and it just freezes and then says "download error, tap to retry". You then get a massive popup saying "unable to download podcast" and underneath this, it says the podcast episode "could not be downloaded at this time". This happens not just with one specific podcast. I have tried everything I can think of and that Apple have suggested. I have:
    - Unsubscribed then resubscribed to podcasts I have seen this issue with
    - Closed out of the app and gone back in
    - Ensured at all times I have been attempting this, that cellular data has been on for podcasts
    - Switched cellular data off for podcasts and as a whole then I have switched back on
    - Done a hard reset of the phone
    - Deleted the Podcast app itself, reinstalled and then tried to download an episode over cellular data
    - Reset Network Settings
    - Performed a full restore of the device
    After doing the restore, I set the phone up as new and then installed just the podcast app and was able to download an episode over cellular data. I then restored my data from backup and then all of a sudden, I had the same issue again. I did another reset of the network settings and then the issue went away. The issue has returned yet again today. I called Apple to advise and they say they will investigate and get back to me.
    Has anyone else had this issue and have you managed to find a permanent solution? When I am on wifi, I don't have this issue at all. I attempted to download another app and a song from itunes over 3G and had no issues. As such, I can only conclude there must either be an issue with the app itself or ios7.0.4 has done some damage here. I like to download my podcasts on the train to work so don't always have the ability to download over 3G.
    A very annoying issue!

    I am having same problem, except mine is a movie rental on 3rd gen ipad wifi. It seems like this problem has been occuring for quite a few years and apple cant be bothered to fix it. It is really annoying because none of the fixes work. My movie is 99% downloaded and i cant play it or delete or retry the download. Its gona be a few months before anyone from apple decides to post to this thread anyway. Its a real shame. In the apple store not one "genius" cud help with this either.

  • Partially downloaded podcasts

    I've been getting a lot of partially downloaded podcasts in iTunes. They podcasts are supposed to be 55 minutes long, but often only 20 seconds or 20 minutes or so of the podcast gets downloaded. I do not see any obvious way to "re-download" the podcasts inside iTunes. The specific podcast this is happening with is "Catholic Answers - LIVE". Does anyone have any idea how I could resolve this problem? (Or at least come up with a workaround).
    Thanks!
    -Paul

    I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I should clarify it too. Catholic Answers publishes two podcast episodes per day, and 9 times out of 10, my Mac downloads them without any issues. But once in a while it fails to download the complete episode. I'm pretty sure my internet connection is reliable because I use it for tons of other things and have no problems with it. It seems like a software issue (iTunes simply times out and doesn't have the robustness to reliably download). All of this started happening after I upgraded to iTunes 7.

  • I'm trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download, but nothing downloads. since i upgraded to the io6

    im trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download but nothing happens, since i upgraded to the io6

    Stacey Lou,
        All I can say is I am having the same problem on my 4th Gen iPod Touch, but not my 3rd gen iPad.  Occasionally, the podcast app will work, other times, all the downloads get stuck on "Preparing to Download".  No obvious solution has presented itself.
    Illaass, none of the previous discussions I see in "more Like This" seem to cover this topic specifically.
    Idle speculation:  Based on the behavior I have noticed elsewhere in iOS 6, I am convinced what is happening is if you start the podcast download someplace with a crappy connection, all subsequent attempts to download the same file will hang.  I have seen this in app updates that stalled due a bad connection.  All subsequent attempts to update the app also stall, regardless of the quality of the internet connection.  I have to DELETE the app and reinstall it to get it to work.  Maybe something similar is going on here with the Podcasts app.  Unfortunately, there is no easy way to 'delete' the podcast and then re-download it.

  • Q about Automatically Downloading Podcasts

    Hi. I have an Imac running OS X 10.5.2. I also have the latest version
    of Itunes, 7.6.2.
    I just discovered podcasts tonight and I subscribed to a few of them. I
    then went to Itunes Preferences and to the Podcasts section to set
    Itunes to look for new episodes on a daily basis.
    My problem is that Itunes doesn't seem to let me choose a specific time
    for downloading the daily podcasts. I would like to set Itunes so that
    it downloads the podcasts early in the morning, around 2AM or 3AM, when
    I'm asleep and not using my computer.
    However, when I select the "Every day' from the "Check for new
    episodes", it shows that the next time it will check for new episodes is
    "Tomorrow, 9:50 PM." I don't know how it's picking 9:50PM as the time
    to checking podcasts. Like I said, I'd like to change the time to 2AM
    or 3AM. I browsed through the Itunes Help and I couldn't find an answer
    to my question.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks

    The 'daily' check always means 24 hours from that last time iTunes checked for podcasts. In other words, if you did a manual check at 2 a.m. then iTunes would perform the next automated check at 2 a.m. the next day.

  • My itune crash whenever it download podcast after upgrade to 11.3.1.2, I was it Win 7

    After upgrade to 11.3.1.2, my itune crash whenever I try to download podcast. I am now in Win 7, the itune and those podcasts has been here for a long time. (not newly add)

    I think I have found a "fix" to the problem on Win7.
    My problem was : When I refresh my podcast in Itunes 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7, Itunes crashed.
    I try many different things in order to "fix" the crash, but I think the key thing is renaming or deleting this folder
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    to something else like
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunesBak
    From what I observe this affected how Itunes's UI was displayed and not much else, but I would strongly suggest to backup your stuff before doing this.
    Others steps I did thay may have helped address the issue is uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Renaming the Itunes folder in the music folder
    ex: C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunesBak
    and then copying
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    from the "ItunesBak" folder to the "Itunes" folder. NOTE!! All my mp3 files are in a specific folder on my drivem if you are using the default settings don't forget to copy your media library.
    Good luck!
