How do I download NPR podcasts from a foreign country?

I'm an American living in a foreign country.  When I tried to download NPR's Wait, Wait....I get a message I can't download them because they are not generated from the country I live in.  What do I do?  In the past I have downloaded 4 years of Wait, Wait..... 

I'm not convinced that Apple's Store Terms of Use is relevant here, because the Store is simply a directory of Podcasts. The Podcasts themselves are not downloaded "from" the Store, or "from" Apple; they come from the host server chosen by the Podcaster.
However, there are two possibilities:
The country you are in. Perhaps it restricts the availability of Podcasts.
The Podcaster may have chosen to not make their Podcast available in the particular country you are in.
NPR's Wait Wait is available to the UK, but that does not mean it's available everywhere.
If I read literally, the message you mention; "I can't download them because they are not generated from the country I live in, that suggests to me, that the country you are in has placed a restriction that prevents any Podcasts originating from outside its borders from being downloaded. 
You haven't mentioned which country you are in (perhaps for good reason), so for now, we'll leave it for you to decide if this may be the issue. Can you download other Podcasts that originate from outside the country's borders and in particular, any originating from the USA? If you can, then Perhaps it is the Podcaster who has restricted this. It does happen. Marina Orlova's Hot For Words continued to be available to the USA after it stopped being available to us here in the UK.

  • How Can I Download an Application from a different country

    I have a US based account and need to download an application that exists on Colombia Account ( a CITI Bank App ) is there a way that I can do it? CITI Bank App application is for use on my Colombia Checking Account with CITI.

    You can't, you can only download from your own country's store - you need to be in a country with a billing address from that country on your account to be able to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the US store, but it's the app developer (e.g. the bank) that will have to grant Apple a license to have it in the US store : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How do you download an app from a different country

    I am an American currently living for 7 months in France.  I have wifi in my appartment but in order to use my iPod on the wireless network, I have to install an app from the telecommunication company.  I tried doing this, and it changed stores to the French one, but when I typed in my AppleID, it said that my ID was only valid in the US app store.  Do I really have to create a new account in order to use the French app store?  Or can I do something to add the French app store to my current ID?  Please help! 

    To switch your account to the French Store you need a French bank card and a French billing address for the bank card.
    Go to the bottom of the MAS app and change the store to the US. Sign into your US account. Buy what you want.

  • I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I cannot find most of them on the display.  Where did they go?  How can I retrieve them?

    I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I can only see four  or five of them when I touch podcasts.  When I check back on the subscription to On Being, I see all the podcasts checked off that I downloaded.  Why are they not on the display so I can play them?  How do I retrieve  them?  When I go back to the subcription list, the items do not allow for download again (ie. there is not "get").
    I have an iPod Nano that I just bought last month.  The user manual give mostly info on songs and little useful info on podcasts.
    Thanks.

  • How do i find out how many ppl  download my podcast

    I wanna know if there is a way to find out how many ppl download my podcast (not only from itunes, but from everywhere) thanks for helping, cheers!
    download my podcast, its on itunes, its called:
    Idiots on fire
    podcast xml url:
    http://www.switchpod.com/users/frahs/feed.xml
    thank you!

    right click (control click on a one button mouse) on the podcast and you will see "Copy iTunes Music Store URL"
    you can edit the URL so it is short, e.g.
    http://itunes.com/podcast?id=78511357&s=143441

  • My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

    my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

    If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
    Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing.  Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired.  For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts.  The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below. 
    When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs...  Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod.  If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

    My wife purchased me a Ipod classic 80GB back in 2007, she also has a Ipod classic, but both are under user name and password. I have a newer PC. How can I download the music from my PC to my Ipod?

    iRip is a nice little program  it will get all your music, books, podcasts off your iPod without knowing a password or the iPod not sync to the iTunes library.

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • How can I remove a podcast from iTunes if iTunes is locked up.

    I added a password protected podcast and iTunes locks up on the authentication dialog. Spinning beachball... only thing I can do is force quit.
    Earlier solution was to go in and manually disable podcasts with Xcode. but then i can't play any of my podcasts.
    The recent itunes update fixed the problem, sort of. it allowed me to use itunes normally again. But, I tried to subscribe to the podcast agin and... yup, same thing.
    How can I remove that podcast from iTunes without using iTunes to remove it?
    HELP!!!!

    ROGER, I AM SORRY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE 10 POINT RATING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NOT WITH YOUR RESPONSE, WHICH WAS RIGHT ON, BUT WITH THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.
    REGARDS, JEANNE

    My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.  I've since deleted this podcast with no luck.  I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck.  One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update.  Anyone have a fix for this?

  • How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

    How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

    Hi littlemansa,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results. 
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
