Downloading podcasts and limited connectivity

Has anyone else noticed a problem with their internet connection dropping to limited connectivity when you try to download podcasts?

It only happens when you try and download more than 1 podcast - if its just 1 downloading there are no issues but its frustrating as Im having to do them all individually rather than queuing them. The simultaneous downloads box is ticked by the way.

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.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, 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.

I am trying to download podcasts, and I am getting an error message. I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing, deleting and redownloading the podcast, and shutting off and turning on my computer an iphone. I have also tried refreshing the podcast. I have also tried closing itunes and reopening it. What gives? I have an iphone 5s and my MacBookPro and the software is updated on both. What gives?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

When downloading podcasts all network connections are used

Hi,
I have a problem when running iTunes 10.4 under OS X 10.6.8. If iTunes is downloading Podcasts, then all of the systems connections are used. I cannot browse using Safari to many but not all sites. I can resolve the address of the web page, but I cannot get there and get any data. If I quit iTunes all of the Safari pages load.
Anyone else see this?
OS X and iTunes are both patched to the latest.

Found an answer to my own question.
When a podcast is downloading, it makes as many connections to the Akamia network as Akamai allows to get the download faster. This has the problem of making pages in Safari that are hosted on Akamai data services to not load becasue you are already using all available traffic for the podcast. Either stop the podcast or go to pages that do not host on Akamai until the pdcast has completed.
You would think there was a way to throttle that.

Downloading podcasts over internet connection

I am suddenly have trouble downloading podcasts over the internet to my I Touch. The internet connection is fine -- I am able to download my mail and check websites. But when I click on the get more episodes for one of my existing podcasts, the download will quick and send me back to the main screen. I can download podcasts from my computer connection. Everything is working fine except when I try to download podcasts over the internet. Any ideas on how to solve?

I'm having the same problem. Everything works fine on my PC but podcasts and apps will not download on my ipod touch. The screen just quits.
Any advice would be most welcome.

HT5295 I have read the other comments of others with the same problem of downloading podcasts and submitted my comment,but there is still no fix to the problem.Does anyone know why the trouble has not been taken care of?Who is the person dealing with this

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.

Downloading podcasts and sync

I have my itunes to sync my ipod when it's connected (my preference). When itunes starts, it downloads my podcasts. The issue is that it doesn't finish downloading my podcasts by the time the sync starts, so I end up syncing twice (when it connects to computer, and manually after my podcasts are downloaded). Can Apple make itunes not sync when connected UNTIL all the podcasts are downloaded? Is that an option somewhere?

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

Error message for downloading podcasts and music

I will get this message whenever I try to move my podcasts to my ipod.
"Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they have not been downloaded to this computer".
I will right click on each podcast, go to where it says download this item and click on that. I do subscribe to the podcasts I listen to. This is extremely frustrating.
Thanks for any help!

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

How to delete downloaded podcast and reset podcast to not downloaded??

Hi all,
Hope this is a simple question/answer. I've got several podcasts with lots and lots of downloaded episodes which I am no longer interested in keeping on my Powerbook. I can click on the episode I want to delete and delete the file once I use the "Show in Finder" option. However, the file status within the episode listing suggests the file has already been downloaded.
Is there a way to reset the status of the deleted file(s) so it indicates it needs to be deleted? I tried Refresh podcast after deleting the file, but that didn't work.
Thanks!!
Robert

I went through the same scenario and the absolutely easiest way is to empty all the podcasts you want to remove and then just hit the "unsubscribe" button and then re-subscribe to it. It will re-list all the available podcasts you haven't downloaded.

ACE Module and Limiting Connections

We currently use the ACE module to Load-balancing IPSEC connection into SPA's. Since the SPA's only support 60 new connections per second. I was looking for a way to limit the amount of connecitons from the ACE to the SPA's.

Hello,
Have a look at the Configuring Real Server Rate Limiting section of the ACE documentation. I think this will meet your needs.
Hope this helps,
Sean

ITunes 9 : Error after downloading Podcast and iTunesU files

Hello,
i have actually some problem since i have upgraded iTunes to the 9.0 version.
After downloading video, or audio, files iTunes indicate a error. The message is the following " A problem as occurs during adding « File Title » to iTunes. The file may be corrupted or unreadable by iTunes. "
But the file is present in the correct destination directory (i.e.: /Users/UserName/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/iTunes U/SourceName ). But when i drag it directly to the iTunes window, the file is correctly added and perfectly readable by iTunes and perfectly synced with my iPhone.
Best Regards,
Dominique.

regarding that latest Apple Keynote on the new iPods ... exactly how big is that download?
I've on a narrow pipe, and thus far the Activity Monitor shows over 1.4 GB data received, on a machine that has been dedicated to doing nothing else for quite a while now. Looking at other Apple keynote videos with similar run times, this seems ridiculous, unless they are now downloading them as HD 720p videos.

Downloaded Podcast and it won't play

I download a news conference (conference.m3u) and I thought it would play on iTunes but nothing happens.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture?
Thanks

itunes dose not support .m3u files.
You can however user a program like m3u2itunes to cover the file to work with itunes. http://www.burroak.on.ca/m3u2itunes.html
Not only do you need to download, and install m3u2itunes, but you have to fallow the instruction posted on the m3u2itunes website.
