Downloading Podcasts from the Cloud

Although my purchased podcasts appear (greyed out) in my Podcast Library, when I try to download them from iCloud onto my iPhone 5S (running iOS 7), nothing happens. The download wheel does not change (although it says it is downloading) and over an hour later, nothing has happened. Can anyone please help?

My workaround for this is to set up a smart playlist. I hope this is another one of the issues that gets cleard up when Apple eventually releases an 11.1.1 update.

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

So I just got a message from Apple saying
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
I also turned on iCloud Drive.
Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
It could list what type of device it was.
It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

it said it was used to download a Podcast from the App Store
I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
It's very clear to me; the app named "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.

Do those tracks still show on the album in the store ? If not then the rights-holder must have removed them, in which case you won't be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library. If they are still on the album in the store then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

I presently have Photoshop CS5 loaded on my computer. Should I erase it before downloading Photoshop from the cloud?

Nothing wrong with leaving CS5 installed and having both available to you.
You can still run CS5 if you have Cloud versions installed.
Bottom-line: it's up to you.

How to download songs from the cloud to my itunes library

I have already began the process of downloading songs from the cloud onto my itunes library. My internet decided to rest itself so once i reconnected to the internet I had to pause all downloads. I am now trying to finish the process of downloading the songs and itunes has been processing the file of 3 songs for the past hour. Is there anyway I can fix this?

I doubt the first generation ATV supports iCloud.
iCloud was introduced long after the first ATV and there have been no more updates for the first ATV.

Audiobooks are not backed up by iCloud. You must do this manually.

How do you download information from the cloud? I just purchased a new phone?

What information are you referring to? You may mean restoring an iCloud backup from a previous device. Or you may mean adding iCloud calendars, contacts, etc. to your iPhone.
In the former case (restoring a backup), the setup assistant should walk you through that process.
In the latter case (adding contacts, etc.), simply set up your iPhone as an iCloud device in Settings > iCloud.

How do I download photos from the cloud to an Iphone 5c

My wife's iphone 5 got destroyed and she got a replacement iphone 5c, and none of her photos are there, how do I go about trying to download them from the cloud. These photos were only taken on her phone, and her itunes is on a PC not a Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"The cloud" just means "her account on a server somewhere." Since you're asking how to get her photos out of the cloud, the next question is, which cloud storage service was she backing up her photos to? Apple iCloud? Google Photos? Dropbox? Flickr?
Once you know which service she was using, all that should be needed is to log into that account on her new phone. For iCloud, she would log in from the Settings app and then turn on the Photos switch; for non-Apple cloud photo backup she probably needs to download that service's app like the Google app or the Dropbox app. Once she is logged in to the service she was using, her photos should be accessible and downloadable.

That's fine. With cloud services, the server is the central location and the device doesn't matter; any compatible device (Mac, PC, phone, tablet etc.) can upload or download files with the cloud server.

Apple doesn't own the copyrights to any of the entertainment content they sell. They are just the retailer. If the copyright owner decides they no longer what their product available on the iTunes Store then it will no longer be available. There's not a lot Apple can do about that. What it also says, at the bottom of the page in the fine print is:
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store... So backup your purchases. I backup all my purchases to local storage and do not depend on a third party to keep my data safe. It is your responsiblity.

Lost the ringtone I purchased when I downloaded tunes from the cloud?

Lost the ringtone I purchased when I downloaded tunes from the cloud?

Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

How do I delete podcasts from the cloud?

I have a number of podcasts that I subscribe to. With my upgrade to the newest version of iTunes (11.1), it now wants to list everything in the cloud and I when I try to delete individual podcasts, the listing remains within iTunes with the "download from the cloud" icon visible. Obviously, I have listened to this content and don't care for it to be in my library anymore, but there doesn't seem to be any way to remove these listings. What I've ended up with is a ton of podcast episodes that I've already listened to and don't want anymore clogging my playlist. Anyone have any idea of how I get rid of these things? I've even turned iTunes Match off in an effort to get rid of them, but nothing. The iTunes cloud thing is worthless to me. Stuff like this is super annoying.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Agree, this is really a bad thing. Podcast RSS feeds should generally only have a limited number (10s) of recent episodes to make the update check efficient. But many producers of podcast feeds include their entire archive of episodes going back years. I am speculating that they do this because iTunes is often the only way to interact with the user because iTunes doesn't support a link through to the originating site the way it used to.
I also got caught by the the new preference "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings". I don't remember turning it on and my wife complained that all my podcasts were appearing on her iPhone (we share an apple id). I deleted them from her iPhone only to find out they were gone from iTunes on my desktop. Thank goodness for Time Machine, but I had to disconnect the computer from the internet long enough to disable the sync until I could turn off that setting. Otherwise it immediately deleted the podcasts from my restored iTunes.
This is the kind of random side effects of using poorly designed cloud services that try to avoid. Apple should have at least provided a first time popup to warn me it was synching with the cloud and was about to delete most of my subscriptions.

I have 2 albums on my iTunes library (Brand New Machine and Calamari) and when I go to sync it onto my iPhone 5s it doesnt come up as an option, when I go to the itunes store it wont let me download it from the cloud, why can I get these 2 specific album?

I'm not sure if there are more albums that are doing this and I just havn't noticed that they aren't on my phones but I really want thee two album on my phone, when I go onto iTune on my computer the albums are there and I can listen to the music, but when I go to sync my music (I have a shared account with my mum so I select my music individualy) it doesnt come up as an option, and when I go to the iTunes app on my phone I can't download the albums from the cloud, it just says purchased, any idea what I can do?
