Itunes continues to download old podcasts i have played

With this latest update, iTunes continues to download old podcasts I have already played and deleted.
Is this an iTunes problem or is there a setting a missed with the update?
Thanks,
Don

No. Those purchases/downloads were made with her Apple ID and are permanently linked to it. To download those updates you will need her credentials regardless of which Apple ID is signed into iTunes.

ITunes tries to download old podcasts

Hi,
I have two computers (home and office) with the same podcasts subscribed to on both and the download setting is 'manually'. They both run on WinXP.
My office computer's iTunes works fine. I choose 'Update podcast' and it downloads the latest episode. No problem.
My home version though has suddenly gotten the dates wrong and when I want to update my podcasts it tries to download episodes from several weeks ago. Deleting the subscription and re-subscribing doesn't help.
I assume — but what do I know ? — that some file containing my podcasts list got corrupted. It somehow doesn't realize what the current date is and tries to download whatever episode was available when it got corrupted. And, yes, the date on my computer is correct.
If I am right, what file should I delete before resubscribing to my podcasts?
If I am wrong, has anybody got an idea about what's happening?
Thanks for any reply.

Sorry for the bumps but I'm still looking for an answer to this problem. Sad thing is that I can't think of any other related program that has this problem. I don't want to abandon iTunes but I may have no choice.

ITunes trying to sync old podcasts (and failing!)

I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and it failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro. Same problems happen with new shuffle so would seem to be an iTunes problem.
First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
Is there a corrupt file that tells iTunes to look for old podcasts to sync with?
It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
However it is NOT an iPod problem. The same iPod will sync fine with iTunes on a windows PC and a Shuffle suffers the same problem with this MacBook Pro.
TIA

Welcome to the Palm Support Community Emily, but I'm at a loss as to what you are asking...
What exactly is "the new operating system"? Windows 7? If so, what bit depth is it? 32bit or 64bit?
What is "that file" you're referring to that you think is a .dll? Your Contacts and Calendar data?
What is "Outlook 7"? Microsoft Outlook 2007?
If indeed you've just obtained Windows 7, and it's the 64bit version, there is a way to sync the TX via a wireless method - either BlueTooth or Wifi.
Please read the thread I wrote on "How to sync the TX and Vista64" at the top of this section. It's very similar to Windows 7.

If you made a backup before you restored it you can restore your iPhone from a backup and your game data should be restored. When you connect your iPhone in iTunes you can right click on it in the sidebar and select restore from backup.

How can I stop iTunes from repeatedly attempting to download old podcasts?

Old podcasts keep coming back in my downloads. delete them and they keep coming back. even some I listened to and then removed come back later. Not the 24 hour wait problem, some of these are months old since i listened to them.

Hi - I never thought of using the WiFi. Thanks. I already have the 'manually manage music' checked but now I need to get rid of most of the music.
Let me look at the settings on my iPad. Okay I checked not to automatically sync.
Brian, I do need to transfer PDF Files from my iMac to my iPad. I suppose that using Wifi I can just drag and drop? Using iTunes like I have been I just open Adobe on my iPad then use iTunes to drop the class files into the iPad.

ITunes won't delete old podcasts

I've seen other people mention this topic in other threads, but haven't seen any satisfactory resolution. For several months now, I've had a problem with iTunes where it won't auto-delete my old listened to podcasts like it's supposed to.
I have the "Podcasts" preferences set to check for new episodes every day, download all available episodes, and keep all unplayed episodes. When I listen to them on my iPod nano (first gen) and sync with iTunes, the little blue bullets disappear from the podcasts I've listened to as expected. However, the listened to podcasts don't delete themselves. It's a real pain to have to manage this by hand, and this is exactly the kind of thing that Apple is supposed to be making EASY for us.
iTunes also has a problem where old podcast episodes are randomly getting re-downloaded.
Both of these problems are very annoying. I'm really disappointed that Apple has done such a poor job of this. I realize this is turning into a gripe session, but seriously, I have three pretty major problems with podcasting using iTunes and iPod which Apple should really fix because I doubt if I'm the only one.
1. Old podcasts are not getting deleted as they should (yes, this used to work, but it hasn't for some time).
2. Really old podcasts (months old) randomly re-download themselves.
3. The iPod still insists on sorting podcasts with the newest first rather than giving you an option to play from the oldest unlistened episode. Many podcasts go in sequence, so it's a pain to have to make a custom play list every time I want to listen going from oldest to newest.
That's it.

YES!!! These are precisely the three issues I'm having with iTunes! I'm using an 80GB iPod Video, and I'm almost exclusively listening to podcasts (yay NPR!). They take up a lot of space on my hard drive because they're not auto-deleting. They delete off of my iPod ok (though it'd be a cool feature if it didn't delete unless it was listened to through the end, but that's nitpicking), but they pile up in my podcasts directory until I delete them manually, even though I have "keep new episodes" selected.
And please, allow for podcasts to play in chronological order on my iPod, oldest on top! I think I remember reading somewhere that having them appear the other way is actually touted as a benifit?
As for the random download of old episodes, I've had that, and it's annoying, but an easy enough thing to delete or skip, and mark as played on the mac.
I had the lack of updates problem for a while, I inexplicably lost Marketplace for several months, but now it's back... Those last two problem aren't Apple's fault, I suspect; just a result of several pieces to a puzzle needing to be exactly right in order to work correctly.
Thanks for re-introducing this topic, here's hoping for a solution!

ITunes 'misplaces' songs downloaded as podcasts

When songs are downloaded as podcasts, KEXP's Song of the Day for example, they are not appearing in a master search, which only searches music. So if I want to listen to all songs from a particular artist by searching that artist, any songs that are downloaded as a podcast are missing.
I did try relabeling genre and manual removing the files in the Podcast folder of my library, to no avail.
Am I missing something? Any thoughts are MUCH appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. Two follow-ups if you will.
1.)Is there a simple way to move the song from my Itune player to another person's machine via our office network or the internet to have him burn it (i.e. are than any "tricks" to getting the file and permissions from one machine to another)?
2.)Is there anyway to have songs from ITune Music Store downloaded in an alternate format?

ITunes refusing to download a podcast episode

I subscribe to four podcasts and I like to download all episodes and keep them to listen to them whenever I want to.
But I am having an issue with an episode of one of my podcasts.
As one can see in the print screen below, the episode 397 of the podcast is not downloaded, and even if I try clicking the cloud button or right-clicking the episode and choosing "download episode", it doesn't download.
I have the lastest version of iTunes, my OS is Win 7 x64 updated.
My podcasts aren't syncing with my iDevices because of the iCloud issues that obliviate all download podcasts that aren't synced.
Thnak you for any help!

In my experience;
an episode of a podcast may come from one server to a portable device, and a different server to a desktop. So if I'm correct, that could mean that only the desktop version is not working.
when I have seen an exclamation mark next the Podcast header, clicking on the exclamation mark displays a message saying "the Podcast could not be found on the server", so that is why I suspect that in this situation, it means the episode cannot be located.
iTunes (Apple) does not host Podcasts. The Store simply lists them. If you choose to download an episode of a particular Podcast, iTunes asks the host server to download the episode directly to your Library. It does not go through the iTunes Store.
contacting the Podcast's producers is (in my opinion) the second best method of getting the issue resolved.
the best method for getting the issue resolved (because it involves no effort at all on your part) is do nothing, and wait until someone else sorts out the issue.

ITunes has stopped downloading my podcasts -- how do I change this?

I keep getting the message that iTunes has stopped downloading podcasts because I haven't listened to them in a while. Can I change a setting to keep this from happening?

Why is the iTunes store randomly downloading songs that I have already and moving the old files to the Trash?

There has been no charge, and I can't tell if they are upgraded songs.

Yes.

I must be missing something... but how do you download old podcast episodes

Hi, I'm a little new to podcasts, and I seem to have a question already. I want to download an old episode of a podcast without downloading all the new ones. Is there anyway to do this? All I see is the subscribe button, and if I right click the one I want to download all I see is Get Info, Copy, and Copy iTunes Music Store URL. Any help is appreciated.

I just spent an hour trying to figure out the same thing. Do this:
Subscribe to podcast.
Click "Podcast" on the left hand side of your screen(under the source heading). This will display the most recent episode of the podcast.
To get to the old episodes click the little arrow on the left of the recent episode to the right of the blue dot.
The old episodes will then be listed and you can either double click them, or click "get" and they will download.

Download old podcast episodes off web then transfering?

Ok, so im sure some one else has realised that the itunes store isn't displaying old episodes of podcasts anymore, just the most recent 10 or 15.
Before, some podcasts had a certain amount of episodes available, but you could go to their website and download the episodes there, and just transfer them to itunes.
Now, when i try this, the podcast episodes transfer onto itunes, but won't transfer to my ipod 5.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this?? Or does the podcasts app stop this??
Thanks.

The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed.
