HT5295 One certain podcast not downloading on new podcast program. Can stream it just fine.

Podcast program not downloading the podcast. Handel on Demand. Can Stream it just fine

It's not just one program. There are a bunch of podcasts that are not automatically downloading but must be streamed. Both the Onion Radio News and the Onion News Network videos frequently won't download but stream just fine. I've also had problems with NASA podcast channels, NOVA/PBS podcasts, Discovery Channel podcasts, Dilbert, and a bunch more. On top of that, there are several feeds that are not updating at all. I can go to the feed page and see new episodes, and I can download the new episodes just fine from within iTunes, but they refuse to acknowledge that there's anything new within the Podcasts app. As a workaround, I tend to still use iTunes for the feeds I have found to cause a problem, and unsubscribed from feeds that I have not found to be causing any issues. I then manually Sync those episodes onto the iPod. It's a real pain and the opposite of a convenience, but at least I'm getting my episodes. When they yank the feature from iTunes entirely, I will no longer trust the Podcast App and will probably pitch my ipod in favor of my android tablet - unless there are some REAL improvements in the next release. Of course, you could always NOT apply the upgrade to ios6 and stay on ios5...

ITunes 11.2.2 (3) does not download all new podcasts

Hi,
I am frustrated with the recent releases of iTunes which have had several bugs talked about in these forums. Currently, my podcasts are showing up as having new episodes, but they are not being downloaded. There is a cloud with an down arrow that will start the download when I click it, but clicking refresh does not start downloads on these podcasts with the icon.
I can't seem to find any setting that would ignore these podcasts, and there doesn't seem to be any reason that they are different than other ones.
Is there anyway to fix this and have them all download automatically throughout the day or when I click refresh?
Thanks,
Chris

Hey scimmia,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you are not getting iTunes to recognize the iOS device. Follow these steps and test after each section.

Have a nice day,

Itunes 11 is randomly downloading empty tracks in playlists, can stream same tracks without problems.

i installed itunes 11 on windows 8 pro x64 with itunes match (with loads of tracks in it)
i logged in and i can stream music just fine and i really like the new ui, but if i choose to download a playlist sometimes it works well and i get the tracks, but sometimes i end up with files of the right size on my hdd, but they are not working, neither in itunes nor in another media player.
if i delete the tracks in itunes and stream them they work again.
the tracks i had problems with are by no means obscure, radiohead among them for example.
i suppose this is a bug?

Just for everyone's benefit, I figured out one problem: If you're really keen to have the album art shown in the whole library view, create a smart playlist wiht the following parameters:
Playlist is Music, No limit to set, live updating.
This will take all of the music in your library and put it in this playlist, once you've done this open the playlist, change the view (top right hand corner of the screen) to artist view, and a view similar to the old one will be shown.
Hope this helps!

I have an old version of itunes (not sure which one)and if I download the new version 11.1.4, will I be able to keep my original library with playlists from old version of itunes?

I have an old verison of itunes(not sure which one) and if I download the new version 11.1.4, will I retain my original library and playlists from the old version or loose it?

you can just make a backup and download the new verion

TS2313 Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help.

Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hey Karenfromanamosa,
I fixed this problem by turning off the ipad and then turning it back on after 5-10 minutes.
Hopefully then when you play a video it will start playing.

Bug in 12.1.1.4 Podcasts Not Downloading Stuck in Clould

Longtime itunes user through many versions I'm on windows 7 64 bit. Upgraded a while ago to 12.1.1.4 and now podcasts are not downloading and stay stuck in in the cloud unless I manually click on the podcast to download the individual podcast episodes.
These are my settings:
These should be downloading them, they are not. Apple this is a bug and needs to be fixed. It seems like this happens in every other version of itunes that you folks put out. What is the deal? I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing without deleting the podcast and that usually managed to somehow make itunes recognize that it would be downloading them. That does not work as a workaround/trick anymore. Really need an actual fix for this folks.

Well, I guess I have been somewhat lucky then - I have been using iTunes since version 9 (so quite a while but not a super long time) and I haven't had many issues, and none that weren't resolved by just resubscribing. I've also had pretty good luck with the podcast app, and it seems like that gave a lot of people grief.
I concur though that the "feature" to just randomly shut off updates is awful. But it is so typical of how they operate. They tell you what you want and how it will work and that's it. Don't like it, then too bad, which makes it so frustrating, especially if you're not 100% Apple all the time. Add one feature, take two others away. I have gotten to the point where I try not to let it bug me.
The problem is that there isn't much else out there that reliably syncs play counts and last-played timestamps back to a central library AND has smart playlists - which is the #1 reason I like the iPhone/iTunes combo. The Zune and Zune player was the closest thing, and even that was pretty bad. It didn't sync last played timestamps and its playcounts were all over the place. It was way better for podcasts though. I have an Android music app and windows client that syncs play counts pretty well, but it does it to iTunes - no other windows music app. I've always wished Winamp would have come out with a great iOS/Android music app that sync'd play activity, but nothing so far and I'm not holding my breath.

I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred" HOW do I fix this?

Every time I try to download the new version it just says I can not download the new version of Firefox. I keep getting a message that says "Firefox 5.0.1dmg could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred - Try saving to disk first and then opening the file"

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

My Mac operating system is OSX 10.4.11 and I "replaced" my older version of Firefox with a newer one that does not open with my system. Can you send me an older version of Firefox? Thanks!

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

Problems with ios7; I can not download any new App

In general, I feel the new ios7 makes my ipod 5 slow, it has had a couple of problems, most of them minor or have a simple solution, or can be ignored while they fix it... what I can not ignore is that I can not download ANY new App...
I have been able to update a couple of them, though they have been very slow, now when I try to download something new, it seems like it'll work, but it never asks for my password as it used to and it never appears in the screen as downloading or anything. It is like if they'd just get stuck and waiting for it to react...
¿anyone else has had this problem? ¿advice? ¿solutions?

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 item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
