ITunes 9 checks for new podcasts how often?

I can't seem to find this info. What is the interval between checks?

I've been looking around for a PDF manual for iTunes 9 for Windows. Is there one?
No manual.
But iTunes doesn't seems to work like a program written for Windows --
Right. It is written to work correctly and be used with common sense.
Generally you don't have to have "Windows think" to get something done.
the book isn't helping me at all with configuring iTunes for podcasts
There's not much to configure since there are only like three buttons dealing with podcasts.
Go to the iTunes stores, find the podcasts you want then subscribe (or download individual episodes).
Then select the iPod in iTunes, click the Podcasts tab and set up what you want to sync.

How can I set iTunes to check for new podcasts at a specific time of day?

Hi guys,
Anybody know a work around for this? I thought it was just a matter of clicking the refresh button at the time I want iTunes to look for new podcasts, but it doesn't seem to be the case...
I want iTunes to look for new podcasts at 2 am every day. So, at 2 am, I clicked the refresh button in the Podcasts section in iTunes. It would then say, in the settings, that iTunes last checked for podcasts at 2 am and will look again at 2 am the next day. Awesome, not. Every single time I try this, iTunes always resets itself and decides to look for podcasts at 2:49 pm. I can't work it out.
So, if anyone has a solution, I would love to hear it! I'm on the latest version. 9.0.2. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Daniel

I'm looking for the solution to this issue too. Once or twice, a full system restart has seemed to solve the problem temporarily but it slips back to an afternoon refresh after a few days.
Seems like it would be simple for Apple to allow us to specify a time of day for refreshes in the preferences section.

Changing the time iTunes checks for new podcast episodes

My broadband supplier allows me unlimited downloads from 00:00 to 08:00 and I want to use this time to download podcasts. I have set up iTunes to check for new episodes every day and download nay it finds but I can't set the start or end time.
I am running Windows XP, do I need to edit the registry ?
Thanks,
colin

Hi colin, welcome to discussions.
No need to edit the registry.
If you check the "Podcasts" tab in the Preferences, underneath the option "check for new episodes". There is written in tiny letters, when iTunes is going to check the next time. In your case, that would be the same hour you checked last time but on the next day.
So, I suggest you actualize the Podcast folder manually at 00:01, f.e. The next day, iTunes will do so on it's own. As long as it is running at midnight, iTunes doesn't change this setting, and, as you have broadband, the downloading shouldn't take 8 hours per day.

Can't check for new podcast episodes in iOS 5 Music app any more on iPad

Hi, in the old iPod app on the iPad, I could check for new episodes for podcasts and download them directly on the iPad. I haven't found this functionality in the new Music app. Is this gone? I liked it a lot when traveling with the iPad.
Or did I just miss on how to activate it?

I didn't know the iPhone still had it. But... the whole thing is a stupid joke anyway.
"Get More Eposides..." when viewing an individual epiosde is a petty excuse for a feature. What iOS really needs is an "Refresh" button just like iTunes, so I can update every podcast with one button and without leaving the Music app. Anything less is retar-ded.
5 iOS releases and I'm still waiting for this. And iOS 5 on iPad is even worse than the lame excuse for a feature we had before. The implementation of podcast subsrciptions on iOS feels like nothing more than an April Fools' joke.
I wouldn't mind but at this stage what we should really have is background download for podcasts on iOS ala Newsstand.

Is there a way to change the order in which iTunes searches for new podcasts?

When I tell iTunes to update podcasts, it searches for them in the order that I have subscribed to them. However, most of my favorite podcasts I've started listening to only very recently, so on a day with a large number of new podcasts I have to wait for a few minutes before iTunes even detects and places them on the "downloading" queue. The sheer number of podcasts I am subscribed to makes unsubscribing from all and then resubscribing in a more optimal order thoroughly unpleasant. Is there a way I can reorder the priority queue for checking for new podcasts, so that I can click 'refresh,' grab my favorites right away, put them on my iPod Shuffle, and the leave the rest to download?

I'm not sure, but I think the change was using the font "Segoe UI" instead of "Tahoma", and maybe, Lucida Grande.
I haven't tried it, but I assume you can edit the fonts, which are specified in (basically) a text file (at least, for iTunes 10).
Make a backup of the file before you edit anything (or you can repair/reinstall if you mess it up). See the following post for some more info:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12226047#12226047
You'll want to edit the "font", not the "xp-font". I can't tell you what fonts will work.

How often does my Curve 9300 check for new email messages?

Hello everyone,
I hope that you are all well.
I use a Curve 9300 (3G) and assumed that it checked for and retrieved new emails all of the time. However, it seems that it only retreives new messages from my email account every so often. Could someone please let me know how often it checks for new emails?
Also, when I run a Diagnostic Test in the Mobile Network Options menu the result says NO when it tests to see if it is connected to my email account. When I ran tests a while ago the result was YES. Could someone please let me know if this is anything to worry about?
Many thanks.

First, you have a misunderstanding that the handheld device "checks" for messages. They don't.
RIM's technology on which the company and popularity was built is that RIM servers go out to your email server and checks for new mail and "pushes" those messages to your handheld BlackBerry.
On a normal POP3 email server, that occurs every 15 minutes and if new messages are found they are pushed and the RIM server checks again in 2 minutes for a few cycles, and after 3-4 cycles of two minute checks, if no new messages are found, it reverts to 15 minutes.
On an IMAP email server, the push is instant. An example of this might gmail accounts, yahoo mail, and private domains hosted by GoDaddy.

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks
static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
          BufferedWriter out = null;
          BufferedReader in = null;
          File fr = null;
          int get_count = 0;
          try     {
          if(new File(filepath).exists())
          fr= new File(filepath);
                    System.out.println("FileName: "+fr);
               if(fr != null){
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fr));
                         String text = in.readLine();
                         if(text != null){
                         get_count = Integer.parseInt(text);
                         in.close();
                         else{
                              get_count = 0;
     else{
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filepath));
     out.write("0");
            out.close();
               }          //Reading of the row count file ended.
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               try{               if (in != null) {
                         in.close();
          if (out != null) {
                         out.close();
          catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          return get_count;
     }

You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "")

In Internet Explorer, in the internet options, you can change the temporary internet files to check for newer versions of stored pages. Can this be done in Firefox? And How?

I just want to know how I can change the settings to check for newer versions of stored pages in Firefox.

There is a hidden preference that controls when Firefox checks for a newer version. # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''', double-click on it to change its value
For details on the possible values of his preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

How do I get to the Firefox equivalent of IE's "check for newer versions of stored pages" under tools, IE options

I need the firefox equivalent of Internet Explorer's (v8) "check for newer versions of stored pages under Tools, Internet Options, Browsing history. I cannot find where this would be in firefox and have an application that depends on seeing a "fresh" copy of a page each time it's served up by the web. Please advise.

How do I get Apple Mail to NOT automatically check for new messages?

Under General, I have it set to Manually, under each Gmail account (2) I have UNchecked the "include when automatically checking for new messages" under "Advanced", but it still checks automatically. Are there other settings that effect this behavior? I want it to ONLY check manually.

It seems to be impossible to stop the automatic push - I found another email client that permits me to access gmail via pop3, and that permits several things that Apple Mail is deficient in (as far as I'm concerned) - permits delete of email on Gmail without having it deleted on my laptop, and does not permit autpmatic push. I need access sto ALL my email under MY organization structure on my laptop, even when I do not have internet access, and Apple mail does not permit me to manage things my way (neither does gmail).

Mail? How to set auto check for new mail?

Ok, I want to be able to turn on my mac, and whenever a new mail arrives it play a sound or pop up etc..
Now I made the setting in mail Preferences>General>Check for new mail every 5 min, and I tested by sending myself a email, but it didn't make any notify sounds or anything..
So my question is do I have to open Mail at startup for this to be able to work? "Open at login" or any other ?
Thanks

To start Mail automatically, go to System Prefs>Accounts. Highlight your account then click on the login items tab. Add Mail to the list.
As for sounds, that is under the Mail prefs. Make sure your sound is turned up.

Since the last update, hotmail no longer automatically checks for new mail. How do I fix it?

Hotmail used to automatically check for new mail regularly. It no longer does that. I have to click on refresh to get new mail.

For reference:

ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store. Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out.
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store. However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store.
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning. This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes.
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue. Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

Mail constantly checks for new mail; downloads same emails repeatedly HELP!

For the last three days (since 19th), Mail has been downloading the same emails over and over again. I first noticed a problem when about 20 spam emails that usually route to my Junk folder appeared in my Inbox. I thought I had just moved it incorrectly and deleted them, then they appeared again later.
The mail jogger cycle (next to Inbox) keeps turning and turning like it can't stop checking for new mail. How do I get it to stop?? The emails are multiplying like gremlins in my Inbox and driving me nuts!
Also, it only downloads new emails when I first open the app. I have to force-quit out of Mail, then reopen, and I will get a couple of new emails, and then ALL THE EMAILS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AGAIN.
Mail was working fine for me until three days ago. The only thing I've changed recently is a Software Update on the 15th for QuickTime and iTunes.
Please help! I tried to Repair Permissions and it didn't do anything. I also tried removing all messages from the server and that did nothing either.
Mail Version 2.1
THANK YOU ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME!!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.1 GHz, 512 MB Memory

UPDATE: I think I got it to stop checking mail. I have Yahoo mail and I checked my email through online Yahoo. I was able to delete a bunch of emails and it suddenly stopped checking for email in the Mail app.
HOWEVER, it will NOT remove some of my junk emails. I was able to delete over 100+ of them. But one specific message (which I now have 8 copies of) will not go away. It is one of those 'Delivery Status Notification' emails. Is this a virus??
I've tried Erasing Deleted Messages and Erasing Junk Mail. Neither helps. These emails won't go away.
Help please! I would be very grateful.
