Downloading podcasts

Downloading podcasts is ridiculously slow with iTunes. It takes an hour and a half to download three 40-minute podcasts with iTunes. With Juice it takes less than 5 minutes. What's up??

I can't answer your question because I've been having the same problem. Sometimes it seems as if the downloads are happening in real time (i.e., a 60 minute podcast takes about 1 hour to download). Maybe it's got something to do with some settings somewhere, as if iTunes downloads aren't optimized for use with Windows.

  • 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.

  • I was downloading podcast video in my itouch using wifi, but suddenly my wifi got disconnected and now there is a link in my podcast list which on opening uses wifi to play that video. I want to delete that link. Right to left swapping is not working.

    I bet this is too late but...
    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • Suddenly I can't download podcast episodes to iPhone, but they'll still stream

    I seem to no longer be able to download podcast episodes on to my iPhone. When I update/refresh podcasts, the little numbers appear over podcasts, indicating there are new episodes: but when I go through to the podcast, I see the little "cloud + arrow" icon (whereas before they'd download automatically). I press on the cloud/arrow icon: it dims briefly, but nothing happens. In the "My Stations" view, there's the command "Download all" at the bottom: if I press that, it dims briefly, but nothing happens.
    The episodes still stream fine: if I play them, they'll play, with occasional lags from streaming. But I now seem unable to download them.
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Please, please don't tell me this is just Apple's latest move in "improving" Podcasts: I'd be horrified but not entirely shocked if they decided "No, you don't really want to download podcasts - you should just stream them all the time, because that's the right way to do it. And you want to do it the right way, don't you? The Apple way. The only right way."
    This appears to have started this morning, and I updated with iOS 7.0.4 last night. Maybe that's a coincidence, or maybe it's connected.
    Just when I was reconciling myself to the Podcasts app ...
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, the tried and true may have worked: I turned the iPhone off and then on again, and now downloads seem to be working properly. On/off button, is there anything you cannot do?

  • How can I download podcasts from new PC to my iPhone 4s?

    The phone had been using an iMac iTunes. I've now gone to a PC. (Forced to a PC because FCPX won't support my new video camera.) On new itunes, I registered new computer, backed up iphone, synced iphone (I think) and downloaded purchased music to new computer. But ... I can't get podcasts. I can't transfer old itunes library because it's on a large external hard drive that is not FAT 31. I am willing to lose stuff on present iPhone (only one purchased app) and I can restore music, but how do I get the iphone and new computer together so I can download podcasts, new music, new apps, etc?

    If you have synced with iTunes on your new computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone would have been erased first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this would occur.
    Do you have Sync Podcasts selected under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and are there any podcasts available in your iTunes library on your new PC?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • "Unable to Download Podcast" error after upgrade to iOS7 - iPhone 4S

    Hey all,
    Since upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, the Podcasts app is no longer able to download new Podcasts directly from the app. I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Podcast" with the option to Retry, which always fails. This happens on both 3G and WiFi This error applies to any of my Podcast subscriptions. It was working fine on iOS 6.1.3. I have tried deleting it and re-installing it. I've toggled the Podcast app Settings. I have an iPad 3 WiFi and I haven't had the issue.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi neocec!
    I have a couple of suggestions for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue. First, you should try to reset the iOS device by following these instructions:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing issues after attempting that troubleshooting step, you will want to restore your iOS device according to these instructions:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I re-download podcasts? My external hard drive failed and I can't figure out how to download them again in the updated iTunes.

    How do I re-download podcasts? My external hard drive failed and I can't figure out how to download them again in the updated iTunes.

    The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
    .....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
    The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
    If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup. 
    Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
    All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data.
