I had THREE YEARS of The Moth episodes... the iTunes store offers me the last 5 only.  ***?

iTunes 11.1 deleted my podcasts, now the iTunes Store thinks they don't exist?
I'm angry as it is that Apple somehow missed a bug that caused iTunes to delete hundreds of saved This American Life podcasts.. that iTunes conveniently now wants to charge me $.99 apiece for now.  Neither This American Life nor The Moth are showing more than the last few episodes in the iTunes store, and I KNOW there are years of back episodes available.  I tried to download straight from PRI, but it sent me back to Apple. 
Seriously, guys?  First you delete my personal files (without even ASKING?? Really?) and now you've made it impossible to get them back?  Fix it!

  • The podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage

    I am the owner of a podcast named Sidetalk. Since lat month, the podcast channel on iTunes Store cannot sync the new program with my podcast homepage, and even show the owner as UNKNOWN.
    Could you fix it? Or let me know how to modify the information.
    Many Thanks.

    Although episodes up to 1 November show when subscribing the feed comes up empty when examined in FireFox, and FeedValidator complains of a problem in line 28 - it's in the space after the comma (or possibly before it) here -

    I can't see what this might be - perhaps you managed to get a word processing invisible code character into it: I can only suggest you delete that section and retype it.
    It's odd that it's appearing when subscribing but not in FireFox, but it does seem likely that this is blocking the Store from updating.

  • Can I still use/sync/update my purchased apps if I change the country of my iTunes Store account for good? (PH-US)

    I'm planning to change the country of my iTunes Store account from the Philippine Store to the US. If I do, is it still possible for me to sync and update my apps purchased from the PH iTunes Store? And will I still be able to purchase in-app purchases?
    Thanks!
    - Stephen

    You can't change countries if you have a credit on your account - if you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance so that you can do so : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

  • I purchased a tv series and downloaded the first episode, when I went to download the next episode a message popped up saying "this computer is already associated with an apple id" and won't let me download the rest of the shows

    I purchased a tv series and downloaded the first episode, when I went to download the next episode a message popped up saying "this computer is already associated with an apple id.....You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 41 days" and won't let me download the rest of the shows even though I haven't changed accounts and I'm using the same account I purchased the shows with.

    It's been months, so you may not care anymore, but you can't download songs from multiple Apple IDs over a 90 days period.  Sorry, it's not allowed for legal reasons.

  • Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

    I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

    The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • ITunes Store not showing the latest episodes

    For some reason the latest 7 or so episodes are not showing up on the actual iTunes store page but if you are subscribed to the show in iTunes it is still pushing all the current episodes but they are just not showing up on the actual store page. At the moment it is showing only episodes up to episode 15 but there are actually 22 episodes but for some reason only the store page is not showing them but yet the RSS/XML file and iTunes is downloading them and showing them.

    I'm afraid I can't offer any explanation for this. The feed seems to be perfectly OK, the episodes I checked downloaded OK, but the Store plainly hasn't checked the feed since shortly after March 5th. This sort of odd thing does happen very occasionally - sometimes it sorts itself out eventually. There isn't really anything you can do about the feed to help matters, as far as I can see. You could try approaching iTunes Support, but be warned that you will probably just get a form answer which doesn't address the problem. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

  • HT201272 I have purchased six seasons of Dexter and two seasons of Revenge. When I go into "Quick Links" through the iTunes Store and click on "Purchased", only two episodes of Revenge are shown. How can I get the rest of my episodes to show up??

    Why aren't my previous purchases showing when I click "Quick Links", then "Purchased" in the iTunes Store??

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • I have ran the diagnostics test on iTunes and iPod.  The diagnostic says there is an iPod, it is identified with the correct name, but it says there is no sync ability.  What can I do?  iPod nano 3rd generation.  All updates are current.

    It had not been used for awhile and most of the songs that were on there were gone when I turned it on.  I was trying to sync to update the library.

    Weeks, months, years?  It's possible your battery is dying.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
