ITunes started re-downloading old TV episodes.

My iTunes just started re-downloading some old TV episodes, that I already purchased.
It is currently downloading 18 episodes of NCIS season 5, I purchased all 18 about a year ago, and all 18 original downloaded episodes are still in my iTunes library. I looked at my account details, and nothing unusual is showing up.
Does anyone know why it would just start doing this?

Never mind, I just received an email saying the old files had audio quality issues, which are fixed in the new files.

  • 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.

  • HT203433 iTunes started Re-Downloading songs

    For some reason, the iTunes store started re-downloading about half the songs I've purchased, which is now turning my phone into a data-burning, battery burninng brick.  This is about 38 songs that I already downloaded onto my phone, and now they keep trying to re-download.  Why is this?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Stop iTunes from downloading old TV shows.

    How do I stop iTunes from downloading old TV episodes that I have already watched? I have turned off automatic downloads in preferences. However every time I try to download something new, all my old TV shows I have already watched start to download. I then have to manually stop and delete dozens of TV episodes manually. I don't want multiple TV episodes clogging up my hard drive. Once I have watched something and delete it from iTunes, I don't want to download it again. Please help.

    I have this problem OFTEN with past Daily Show episodes. Just this morning, in fact, iTunes tried to download 1300+ (yes, 1300+) episodes of The Daily Show, dating all the way back to 2006.
    When I called iTunes Support on the phone, the completely unhelpful person asked me for the serial number on my computer. I told her that the problem wasn't with my computer, that the problem was with iTunes itself, and she was completely unwilling to help me. I've had this problem before, and an Apple support technician simply went in and cleared my download queue for me (a feature that individual users should have the ability to do) but I can't figure out how to get back to the person who helped me last time, because this receptionist insisted that nobody could help me if I wasn't using an Apple computer.
    This issue is not going away. Apple needs to fix iTunes. Nothing needs fixing on my computer.

  • Why does iTunes insist on downloading TV show?

    Hi,
    With our Apple TV device we purchased a season of the Big Bang,
    Can someone explain to me why iTunes insist on downloading every new episode to my MacBookAir while all we want to do is watch it with Apple TV directly from iTunes?
    It's annoying, takes up HUGE amounts of time and space. I've looked everywhere for a way to cancelt eh downloads to my MacBookAir but can not find it. Is there a way to turn this off?
    Thanks in advance.
    Christine

    Bummer ;-(
    I have downloaded each and everyone because as you state the queue gets bigger and bigger. But I so hoped there would be a way to opt out of the download. Do not see the use for that mandatory download.
    It's okay when we're at home but we tend to be on the road with our RV a lot. WiFi in RV parks are kind of flaky and often remind me of the 56k modem times. Dealing with these weekly downloads is just a hassle.
    Thanks for your reply!
    Christine

  • TS3694 itunes errors when downloading to update iphone

    itunes starts to download 6.0.1 to update iphone4 but errors b4 done

    I had this same problem and solved it when I realized that the software upgrade download was about 600MB, but I had less free space available on the iPhone.
    So I deleted some large music files to make space available, then started the upgrade again and it worked fine.
    One caveat: since I had "Automatically fill free space with songs" checked in iTunes, under the iPhone "Music" tab, simply deleting songs from the iPhone's playlist did not clear up the space.  Other songs got loaded to fill up the space.  I had to uncheck "Automatically fill free space with songs" as well as delete songs in order to free up the space.
    Hope this helps.

  • I pre ordered the mmlp2 but itunes won't download the songs that are available

    Like my title says i pre ordered the mmlp2 album, then itunes started to download the monster (single) and it stopped by that song it didnt download the other ones so i canceled my pre order re pre ordered it again and got the clean version (which i dont want but it went from my account) then i cancelled that and pre ordered again but thiis time the explicit version and itunes still wont download the other songs despite the monster please help me i almost used all my itunes money for nothing.

    Same happened to me when trying to pre order MMLP2. Only took 5 minutes to figure out. On your itunes store at the top of the screen where it says your username, or email for apple ID. Click it and your account information will pop up. One of the options was saying "you have 18 songs ready for download". Click that and they will start downloading. Easy fix, though auto download the second the album is released would make more sense.

  • Itunes 11.2 Podcasts continually downloading old episodes

    Since updating to 11.2 my podcasts have been giving me a couple issues:
    (1) Everytime I start iTunes and try to refresh my podcasts it automatically starts to download all the old episodes of certain shows.
         - I've tried to delete them manually but it just downloads them again.
         - I've marked them as "played" and left them to be deleted automatically after 24 hours as they are supposed to be but they just download again instead.
    NOTE: It's only doing it for a few podcasts from one provider (AfterBuzzTV) but it is not doing it for every show i subscribe to from them.
    (2) The ones it is not automatically downloading every old episode of have had the titles changed to "Unknown Album".
         - I tried restarting iTunes and my computer since this seems to have worked for other people with the "Unknown Album" problem in the past but it does not work for me.
    Basically it tries to download around a 100 episodes or so everytime I open iTunes, some of which are over two years old.

    Agree.  Same issue...  ;-(
    The other significant probelm is that my podcasts stop playing after about 90 seconds and then the Podcasts application suddenly quits.  This is for the birds.
    I've tried playing with the Sleep Timer (turning it on and off, asking it to sleep after the current episode, etc.).  Rebooting the iPhone, ...
    Nothing works.
    Apple, What's going on here?  Your latest software upgrade are RETROgrades!
