ITunes Podcasts Stopped Updating With Upgrade

Hi,
I posted this once before but I've just read on some other posts that .dll files are the problem with some other issues. Is it possible I have a corrupted .dll file that is not letting podcasts update? I've tried uninstalling, re-installing and even downgrading to no avail. I'm running XP. Thanks in advance...

Hey leeltd!
Try using the information in the following article to make sure that your iTunes is set to automatically look for new episodes:

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast...

I'm curious if anyone has a fix for this ACTUAL iTUNES MESSAGE:
"iTunes has stopped updating this podcast becasue you have not listened to any episode recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
It seems crazy to me that iTunes would just stop updating my podcasts because I haven't listened in a while. It would be just as ridiculous if Tivo stopped recording TV shows because I haven't watched them in a while. It doesnt mean I dont want to listen/watch in the future.
APPLE: FIX THIS!

Apple, count me as another user who wants you to do something different here. I would prefer to simply get a message that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while then not have it being downloaded. Especially now with advanced subscription settings that let us change the subscription on a per-podcast basis, this behavior should be changed. Maybe it's already in the queue?
Suggested change:
Just warn with option to stop warning, but always continue to download as per subscription settings.
I have a number of podcasts that I'm "subscribed to" but I don't listen to as regularly as they are published. However when i'm going to hit the road, I want those episodes there, especially on my ipod. I don't want to have wait for them to all update!
FYI for others reading this discussion; here is the Documentation:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301872

Bug:iTunes 7 stops updating podcasts that I do not want it to stop updating

Some podcasts that I subscribe to are updated as often as every hour (for example, CNN's hourly update). I do not listen to the podcasts every hour, but always want the latest podcast there, or the podcast becomes useless. iTunes keeps deciding not to update those podcasts, and then I have to manually tell it to keep updating. There is no way to turn this off. Since I listen to a lot of podcasts of news shows and other content that is only useful to listen to soon after it was broadcast, this really degrades the usefulness of listening to podcasts in iTunes.
Apple needs to provide a way to disable this behavior, or even better, to allow users to set a per-podcast update frequency and maximum stored podcast count. (I want all available unheard podcasts for my comedy podcasts, for example, but I only want the latest one or two podcasts for news podcasts because older ones are no longer useful.)
Apple describes this behavior on this web page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301872
"You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update."
Thanks!

And you're sure no one in your household is downloading them?

ITunes stops updating podcasts / iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!

Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share...

ITunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened . .

I found an archived article from two years ago: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8453115 and have found subsequent articles talking about outboard solutions that I have tried and do not work. The problem continues to this day. Why doesn't Apple just fix this themselves?
Exact text of the message, as if it is a mystery: iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
Yes. Yes. Permanently, yes. Stop asking the question.

Although you may not like the way it's set up, Apple appears to have done this deliberately and therefore does not consider it broken. I suspect that they do it that way to conserve bandwidth.
Submit your feedback to Apple requesting something different here:

iTunes is not reading your feed at all because there is a parsing error in Episode 7:

Alex Jones Podcast stops updating constantly

Why does the Alex Jones show Podcast stop updating all the time with only a few days of not listening while ALL my other Podcasts (some that haven't even produced a new Podcast in years) don't do this for months (or ever)? This gets REALLY old as I'm syncing my iPhone for my long commute to work, when I realize I only have the Alex Jones Podcast I listened to two days ago. I look in iTunes and once again I have the and it stopped downloading due to inactivity?
Who, what, where does this parameter to stop updating get defined? 3-4 days of not listening is all it takes for iTunes to decide not to download this Podcast?

There is no setting by which the produce of the podcast can affect this. The 'facility' is inbuilt to iTunes and cannot be adjusted. Please see this Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
which states:
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.
Note that it's the number of episodes, not the time since you last listened, hence your apparent discrepancy. The Alex Jones Podcast is updating almost daily: some podcast update weekly or monthly (or even longer).
For Mac users there is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):

That stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

i have problem with my iphone 3G that stopped updating with ios 4.2.1 currently almost every app requires ios 4.3or higher. what do i do with my iphone

App developers decide on what iOS versions to support with their apps. Also, Apple has identified certain updates that are necessary for particular applications. The only way to continue using certain apps on the iPhone 3G is to not update your apps if they require a higher iOS to operate. When you get ready to update an app, it will say what iOS is works on, and if it requires higher than the iOS you have, do not update. The only other alternative is to replace the device with a newer model.

I want iTunes to STOP updating my information, is this possible? how?

I want iTunes to STOP updating my information. Each time I open my 21,000 song library in which I have carefully customized 'genre' and 'album' and 'album sort' iTunes CHANGES MY SETTINGS. I want to stop this unasked for and unwanted corruption of my entries, please. (e.g. album sort undoes alphabetical song order for an artist, which is unwanted and irritating .. I have ALL of my 'album sort' set as * .. this provides perfect alphabetization .. please stop changing 'genre' and 'album' and 'album sort'.

Why did my daily podcasts stop updating?

All of my daily updates of news podcasts stopped updating a short time ago. I can't find any place to update these podcasts of television broadcast news shows. How can I update these free commercial podcasts?

Podcasts stop updating in itunes 12

Recently I have had to manually keep updating my list of podcasts to get new episodes to download. Even when I use the refresh button it will not show new episodes even if new episodes are available, I have to right-click on each podcast and "View in iTunes" to retrieve new episodes.
I understand that podcasts will stop updating after 5 unplayed episodes but does that mean 5 total? Or per podcast? I usually update once a week and listen to around 7 different podcasts so some of these will have a couple unplayed every week before I mark them as played. (I listen on my iPod classic, not sure if this is relevant)
How do I ensure that my iTunes keeps updating the podcasts without using that external script I have seen circulating?
When iTunes 12 was first released all of my podcasts seemed to update with successful regularity. The past couple weeks it hasn't refreshed podcasts successfully at all.
Any ideas?

Pretty much the same problem here. Podcasts are set to update every hour. For some reason in iTunes 11 it would not work at all. Updating to 12.0.1. seemed to fix the problem...at least for a month or so. Now it will not update podcasts, even manually. At the current time, I have to mount each podcast in iTunes Store, look to find new episodes, and try to download them that way -- so far the success rate on that is 75%, compared to 0% when using the Refresh button or manually right-clicking and selecting "Refresh Podcast".
With the number of podcasts in my queue, it's not very practical to mount each one in the Store (some would have to be done daily). I have no "unplayed episode" issue to worry about (I listen to them all -- being accidentally retired makes that easy to deal with).

My podcast stopped updating in iTunes

Hi there,
I've been doing a podcast for a bit over a year. About a month ago it stopped updating in iTunes and I don't know why. I've checked out our feed on feedvalidator.org and it seems to be ok. We use podbean to host it. I emailed their support people and they said everything checks out on their end so I'm not sure where to go from here.
the podcast is in the iTunes store as The Winchester Congress
The host website address is winchestercongress.podbean.com
Any help or clues as to what's up with this would be appreciated.
-Dave

Your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/winchestercongress/id514506457?mt=2
and your feed is at
http://winchestercongress.podbean.com/feed/
Please always include these when you have a question.
Your episode of 7 June appears in the Store, which is quick. However it's not possible to subscribe to the feed; iTunes brings up an error saying it can't connect for an unknown reason. The feed works in FireFox and appears to be OK.
There is no obvious reason for this. We've occasionally seen feed which could be read in iTunes but not in the Store, but not the other way round.
It doesn't appear to be anything to do with the content of the feed. I can only suggest that you ask Podbean to try subscribing and see whether they get the same error, and if so to look at their server logs.

"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?

Did iTunes 11 stop sharing with Apple TV 5.2 update?

I could send movies from iTunes to my Apple TV 3 without wifi before the update. Now I can't. Anyone else having issues? You must have figured the "works with ATV without wifi" before updating as you will be no help to me if you didn't know you could. Any home movies you had in iTunes you could stream through some sort of remote Bluetooth setting in iTunes 11 to your ATV before this update. Help!

I had a similar problem after updating. But not only were my purchases not showing up, the apple tv would crash every time I tried to launch the movies or tv shows apps. This post from another discussion solved all my problems:
Try signing out of your iTunes account and then signing back in, as suggested by this Apple doc ->
Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating
Symptoms
After updating to Apple TV Software 5.2, attempting to use the following features may result in Apple TV unexpectedly returning to the main menu:
Movies
Music
TV Shows
Other iTunes Store features
ResolutionYou can resolve this issue by signing out of your iTunes Store account, and then signing back in:
Select Settings > iTunes Store
Select your account, and then select Sign Out
Select Add New Account
Sign in to your account
Verify that the issue is resolved by accessing Movies or TV Shows on your Apple TV.
If you encounter an issue signing in or out of your iTunes Store account, try restarting your Apple TV.

Podcasts not updating since upgrade to 11.3.1

I have iTunes store and non-iTune store podcasts and they all stopped updating after the upgrade to 11.3.1. Occasionally some would get a new episode, but not all the ones missed. I tried unsubscribing and subscribing to some of them, but it doesn't seem to fix the issue. Unsubscribing, deleting all episodes from iTunes and subscribing again worked for only one of the few I tried.
