How to Reload a Partially Downloaded Podcasts??

Occasionally an podcast in one of my iTunes podcast subscriptions is only partially downloaded due to a connection or network problem.
Is there a way to instruct iTunes to reload it so the full podcast can be obtained? I have not found one. Thanks

I use a similar jury rigged solution. I simply delete the podcast subscription with the partial download and resubscribe through the iTunes store or the producers website.
I wish Apple would include a reload capability in the right-click menu that deleted the partial podcast and its record in the corresponding subscription counter. I'm sure it will come in time.

  • 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.

    How do you delete a partial downloaded podcast from iphone

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • 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.

  • Can't restore a partially downloaded podcast item

    I lost connection to a program in a podcast and it only partially downloaded. I deleted the item, and now I can't seem to restore the download. It is a recent episode -- any way to make iTunes "forget" that I already downloaded and deleted it? If not, what is the proper way to restore a failed podcast download??

    dmaestro,
    Welcome to Discussions,
    What worked for me is the next:
    Select the Podcast and click the 'Unsubscribe' button.
    The button will change it's text to 'Subscribe'.
    Click on it again.
    Open the Podcast directory (click on the small triangle in front of the name).
    The missing episode should have appeared now.
    Click on the 'Get' button to download it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to find hidden partial download files?

    Hi, I am using a Macbook pro on OS X 10.8.3.  I had a colleague send me a video file through Mega.co.nz, which failed the first several times I tried to download it.  Then I was warned that I was out of disc space, and watched as another failed attempt at downloading the zipped file ate away my remaining space.  These partial downloads aren't showing up in my download folder, and I can't find them when I search the computer for the file name. They are invisible!  How do I find where they went so that I can delete them and free up space again? (Preferably without harming anything, and for free)
    Thanks in advance!

    First thing first
    Emergency backup procedure
    Drag and drop copy your users file folders (music, pictures, documents etc) to a regular external powered drive as soon as possible.
    Do not use, setup or trust only TimeMachine at this troubled time as it will copy corrupted data and we need just your users files safe just in case. TimeMachine cannot be used with a Windows PC.
    Unmount and Disconnect all external drives once the backup process is completed.
    Note:
    If you have any over 4GB sized files, those won't copy to a standard formatted FAT32/MSDOS drive from the factory, if you need to save these 4GB+ files use another blank/empty drive and use Disk Utility to format it 1 Partition, Option: GUID,  Format: OS X Extended Journaled (or the standard default one for older Mac's).
    Mac's cannot copy to nor format a NTFS  drive. ExFAT format to be used with a Windows machine must be right click formatted by Windows, not OS X (does it wrong) XP machines can install a free exFAT update from Microsoft. Vista-Win 8 can format exFAT.
    Formatting a drive will erase all data on it.
    Next target a large folder of items like Movies and (since they are backed up) move them to the Trash and Empty Trash
    Now Apple Menu > Restart. The partial downloads should be gone.
    Why is my computer slow?

  • How do you remove a downloaded podcast

    I clicked Free Doanload on a podcast. Now I want to delete it. It doesn't show up in iTunes under podcasts under ATV. How do you remove it?
    For that matter, the ATV is trying to sync podcasts that I have not asked it to sync. How do you reset the prefs so that it forgets this action?
    Some bugs here and there ...

    Actually, there is a little trash can next to the title which I never noticed. You select it and the download goes away. Nice touch.

  • How do I find a downloaded podcast subscription that is not showing up in my library?

    I downloaded a podcast subscription and it will not show up in my podcast library in Itunes.  I tried to download it again but it says it is downloaded.  What can I do?

    Is the Podcast in iTunes U, which is a separate section within you iTunes Library? If you cannot see iTunes U on the left hand side, under "Library", click on Edit/Preferences/General>iTunes U (tick "on").
    Did you actually download this programme "as a Podcast" through the iTunes Store or by subscribing to the Podcast feed in Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast? Or did you get it from the show's website?
    Have you checked alternative spellings and even programme titles for the Podcast? (I have one programme, titled "Focus", but which appears under "BBC", who produced it!) Use the Search facilty to check your library.
    If all else fails, what is the title of the Podcast, perhaps that may help us find it?

  • How can I add manually-downloaded podcasts into the iTunes Podcase lists?

    I see no way to "import" an existing podcast MP3 file into the Podcast screen so it shows up in an existing Podcast list. I need this because I have older podcast episodes which the downloaded subscriptions do not include anymore, but these old episodes really belong in the same podcast list as the newer ones.
    This is a glarimg omission that makes the podcast screen inflexible and hard to use - plz help!

  • Is it possible to view a partially downloaded podcast? (or other file)

    I'm on satellite and have daily download limit, but wanted to watch the part of the podcast I was able to download. I have a 250MB mp4 file which opens in quicktime with an error message. Is there a workaround that will let me watch the downloaded portion?

    Press F11 or select "Full screen" from the menu. (If there are still toolbars floating around after that, right-click on the toolbar and remove the corresponding checkbox.)

  • HT1689 how do i view only downloaded podcasts

    Is there a way in the podcast app to view only the episodes you have downloaded in a list no matter the station it's from?  I have auto download turned off, so I pick and choose the episodes I download from each station.

    There is no longer a "is movie" option in this version. See screen shot. I only have the Any option and two random untitled album 2 and 1 option.

  • How can I delete partially downloaded music albums from my iPad 2?

    I bought what I thought was an album from the ITunes store. Turned out to be a jumble of songs from several albums which went everywhere. I hate a mess like that so I decided to just delete all the songs. Now I am left with partial albums with no cover art and songs that don't even play. I can't delete them directly from my iPad and syncing with iTunes won't get rid of them either. Am I stuck with them?

    If the iPad is on IOS 7, you will need the previous owner's Apple ID and Password to:
    1. Turn off Find My iPhone
    2. Erase device
    3. Reactivate device

  • HT201272 How do I delete partially downloaded purchases forever?

    iTunes continues to download purchases that I have already watched.  Since I have already watched it on TV, I do not want to take up the space on my HD.  But it can not be stopped until the entire series has been downloaded. Help me. Running out of space.

    I have this same problem. I have deleted it from my computer. I have synced my iphone. It is not deleted. No amount of swiping has done anything.
    So far, the only option seems to be to let the tv episodes download for the next 4 hours and then delete them.
