My iTunes is not downloading podcasts automatically.

Only one of my podcasts is not updating and I can't figure out why. It is Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram daily podcast. I have to manually search the iTunes store to download it but it doesn't give a brief synopsis like all the others. I have already sent an email to Living on the Edge to see if there is any reason from their end. Does anyone have a solution for this?

In the latest version of iTunes (v12), you might see an exclamation point near the podcast. This might mean that iTunes has decided you have not listened to the podcast recently and has stopped downloading podcasts automatically. The way around this is to view the podcasts in the "Podcasts" mode, not the episode list mode. (See right hand of iTunes for how to list podcasts, above the list).
Once viewed in Podcast mode, you will see the exclamation point again and you can see the problem.
This feature is terrible for several reasons.
1) It's wrong. I have been listening to the podcast on my shuffle. Are shuffles no longer supported?
2) You have no clue what the exclamation point means in list mode. No tool tip, etc.
3) It should bring a pop-up stating the issue when you try to refresh said podcast automatically. If I am trying to refresh a podcast, I want to download it. Shouldn't the program tell me at that point that it is not downloading podcasts?
This is user interface "fail" of major proportions. The iTunes team needs a refresh!

  • Not downloading podcasts automatically with 11.1

    Since I've updated to iTunes 11.1, the podcasts I subscribe to don't download.  To get them I have to go to the iTunes store and download them there.  This takes too long!  Please fix this!

    I am having the same issue but I think I might have solved it.  It looks like the "subscribe" box was unchecked when I upgraded to 11.1.  So, I went into each podcast in my iTunes library that I subscribe to, clicked on Settings in the upper right hand corner.  Then made sure that the Subscibed box was checked and "Download:  Most recent" was the download option selected.  My podcast episodes right now have been updated manually so I can't confirm this will work.  I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

  • HT1369 new version of itunes will not load getting info that itunes is not downloaded correctly

    have had itunes for several yrs attempted to download newest version but getting message that itunes is not downloaded correctly and new version will not download

    well nobody bothered to give me a hint on what to do, maybe because the problems with the new version of iTunes are really a lot, there is an enormous amount of people out there that have all sort of different problems including mine  so I have decided to return to the previous version which works fine and wait untill the apple people come up with a decent product ....

    my itunes is not downloading correctly even after i uninstalled all software of apple keeps saying the registry is missing to import and burn cds??? it is not on a mac computer 

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Are you sure the error message/prompt isn't referring to the amount of disk space available on your PC's internal hard drive?  If you head to Start -> My Computer.  How much space is free on your C: drive?
    Maybe it would help if you could post a small screen shot of the error.

    Hi ...
    From your iTunes menu bar click Store > Check for Available Downloads
    If that doesn't help, you may be able to re download the song. You won't be charged again.

  • ITunes does not play Podcasts in a row

    Hi everybody.
    Why is it, that iTunes does not play Podcasts in a row like it does in individual playlists. It stops after each episode of a subscribed Podcast and I have to manually trigger the next one. Even more so, the iPod returns to its main menu after each episode in a Podcast. This is annoying, especially when I am driving or jogging.
    Do I have to organize my Podcasts in playlists or is there another trick or tweak?
    Thank you!

    Playlists are a possible workaround, but I just drill into the genre -> Podcast -> "All" -> podcast name to get to a list that plays straight through.
