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?

  • "Itunes has stopped updating your podcast" message -- is there away around?

    When new podcasts are downloaded into Itunes, I transfer them straight to my ipod. I don't play them in Itunes.
    As a result, I have to tell Itunes that I DO want to continue downloading new files - for every podcast to which I subscribe, on a recurring basis.
    Seems to me that transferring the file shows signs of interest - same as playing.
    Is there a way to set Itunes to treat a transfer to the ipod the same as playing it?

    You're right, there is no way to turn off this asinine, infuriating feature. It's this kind of thing that drove me away from Windows and made me so happy when I got a Mac. I felt like I didn't have to fight the Windows Big Brother anticipating my needs and only allowing me to do things in a way that Windows wanted me to.
    Anyways, there is a partial solution, although its pretty sad compared to how easy it would be if Apple included a little checkbox in the options menu that said "Do you want iTunes to stop downloading your podcasts if you listen to them in any other way than on iTunes, even if you listen to them on your (Apple) iPod?". Go to http://www.dougscripts.com and check out the NeedleDrop script. It will let you automatically play 1 second or so of each podcast in your directory. You can then tell iTunes to update your podcasts and it will retrieve all of them, as it should anyways. One downside is that you'll have to run the NeedleDrop script every so often to update the playcount of your podcasts. Another downside, if you're a Windows user, is that the AppleScript will only work on Mac.
    As a tangent (read "rant"), iTunes is becoming really annoying lately. For starters, the interface has been looking more and more repulsively Windows-esque for the last few versions. Just recently, when I updated to the latest version of iTunes, it took me a week or so to delete the previous version because there was an application called "iTunes Helper" that wouldn't close. It didn't appear in the list of processes on my computer. Finally I found that it was a startup item in my list of startup programs. After disabling it, I was finally able to delete the old version of iTunes. Now iTunes doesn't update my podcasts if I don't listen to them in a way that iTunes deems fit. What is going on? Ugly interface, hidden processes, uncontrollable "features". Is Apple outsourcing their development to Microsoft or something?

    iTunes is not reading your feed at all because there is a parsing error in Episode 7:
    <item>
    <title>Episode 7 - How to Invade Africa</title>
    <link>http://thehistoryofpodcast.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/a-history-of-hannibal-episode- 7-how-to.html/link>
    There is no '<' in the closing 'link' tag and this is wrecking the feed.

  • 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.

  • Podcast app bug on ipad (w retina): for some reason it freezes, looks like it is trying to refresh but has stopped downloading all podcasts

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using the latest ipad with retina display and love using the podcast app. Since last week the podcast app is acting strangely. It has stopped auto downloading the latest podcasts. It's not just one podcast but all of the ones I subscribe to. When I open the app it looks like it is refreshing with that little circle that keeps spinning but nothing happens - in fact the app freezes and it is hard to close. It freezes also when I try to delete podcasts. It frequently crashes too. I don't know what to do to help it work again. Any suggestions?

    I haven't heard back regarding the problem I posted. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

  • TS3274 My screen has stopped rotating...how do I fix this?

    My screen has stopped rotating when Inchance the angle...how do I fix this?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4436 somehow an additonal icloud account was set up on my iphone and it has become the adminastative account how can i change this

    Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
    And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
    All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
    If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
    If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • ITunes has stopping updating my podcasts

    Recently, my podcasts are not updating across the board. I try to manually update them. The update arrow will circle around for a second and then nothing happens. Been this way since early last week and I know there are new podcasts. I;ve seen them on other sites. Any ideas?

    If you have an exclamation mark next to the podcast, click on it.  When you do, iTunes will open a pop-up and tell you that it is no longer downloading podcasts because you haven't read any recently.  It then gives you the option of resuming updates.  You will have to do this to each podcast that this is occurring to

  • ITunes has stopped playing video Podcasts

    About 2 Days ago iTunes starting acting up and I can no longer play Video Podcasts.  AudioCasts seem to work fine.
    When I try to watch a Video Cast it takes forever to start and then a few seconds in it stalls and won't play any more.  After a few clicks and timeline drags, very often iTunes will crash and I have to restart it.
    I have tried a number of different Podcast channels including Apple Keynote which should not have any issues.
    Checked my DSL speed... same as always.
    Shut down all my other programs... ran disk utility... rebooted.
    Still stalls.  I have been successfully watching podcasts for  years.  Very annoying.
    iTunes 10.5 (141)
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    Mac Pro 12 Core 2.93 GHz
    12 GBs Ram
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in Advance

    I'm having very similar issues. All video podcasts that have been working fine have now stopped. Whether they are old ones or ones loaded since all the updates around what I can only assume was the launch iCloud. I had almost all my applications in iTunes wanting to be updated, only to be told some of them couldn't be - somehow write and keynote were in there - I've only just reached the point where my compuer, iPad 2 and iPhone 4 are all in synch to discover podcasts aren't working.
    I am very keen to understand what solutions are proposed and am feeling very underwhelmed at finding myself in the same position as Windows users after upgrades, and for the first time in years, am unable to defend my Mac and Apple.

  • HT2589 after my last update my iphone and ipad has an old apple id email address which I cannot change, but itunes has the right id.  How do I fix this problem

    After my last update mu iphone and ipad has an deleted apple id, but my itunes have the new on and I cannot change it on my devices.  Any help would be appreciated.

    If it's an old account which you'd updated with a new email address then try logging out of it on the iPad (and iPhone) by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad (and iPhone). If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

    Let's make sure we get this taken care of.  You can access the  keyboard app cache http://bit.ly/OcISyy to clear it out. Once that has been completed, you should power the phone the phone off/on and try it again.
