  • Where is error message for podcast download failure

    I susbscribe to several podcasts in iTunes 11. All but one are working fine -- with the broken one new podcasts are found but every time I try to download an episode I get an explanation point in a circle. Is there a way to see the cause of the failure?

    I found out how to see the message: Immediately after clicking the Download button, a progress icon appears at the top of the window, immediately to the right of the search box. When I click on that icon, a popup window shows the download progress, including the HTTP error code when it fails.

  • Podcast Download Error -39

    This has happened to me three times now. When I am in the middle of downloading a podcast, my computer has either frozen or lost internet connection, so the podcast download gets interrupted. Once I restart, or reconnect to the internet, and go back to the list of podcasts, the one I was downloading is grayed out. I push the "Get" button next it and I get this error message: 'There was a problem downloading (said podcast). An unknown error occurred (-39). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again.' I have tried resubscribing to the podcast and even reinstalling iTunes. I didn't know if maybe there was a partial file saved somewhere that is making iTunes think there's still a problem. I don't know where to look for that though. Anyone else had this problem before or know what I should do to fix it??

    Okay, I had the exact same problem. I restarted by computer during the middle of a podcast download because my computer froze. In order to fix this, (I'm using a windows XP now):
    1. Go to the start menu.
    2. Click on search.
    3. On the left menu, click on all files and folders.
    4. Type the episode name of the podcast.
    5. Results should come up.
    6. Click on the folder that is named after the podcast episode.
    7. Delete the two files located in the folder. (2 in my case, they were named download and something else I can't remember)
    8. Retry your download.
    9. There you go, you got your podcast!

  • Can no longer play podcasts downloaded on itunes on 2nd generation shuffle, is there a fix?

    Ever since the latest version of itunes was unleased (Apple is so going downhill if this is any indication) my ipod Shuffle 2nd generation (I have 2) will not play podcasts downloaded on itunes. I get orange, green, orange, green lights and then nothing - because the ipod cannot recognize the files apparently. They both do the same thing, I load, they show up as loaded on itunes, I press play, the lights. If I download the podcast from the originator site directly, they play no problem. I have the latest update for the Shuffles, have reset them numerous times and yet the problem persists. I only use these Shuffles to load podcasts daily. I remove them as soon as I listened and then put new podcasts on the next day. Why do I have 2? Because I bought a second one when this started and I thought the Shuffle was broken - now both act exactly the same. Even old podcasts that played fine months ago will not play on the shuffle any longer. Is there any fix? I assume someone else is a podcast listener and is having this same problem and maybe has a solution.

    Switch the mode to single plat, not shuffle.

  • ITunes 11 Podcasts downloading problem

    I subscribe severall podcasts. There's one of them, I don't know why, at the office downloads very slowly. To get it to download quickly, I am always pausing and resming the download.
    In iTunes 11 when I pause when resuming the status bar comes a little bit back (eg. when pause there's 660 kb's downloaded, when resuming it goes to 500 Kb's)!
    The other strange thing is that it dowloads more than the size of the podcast file!
    When listening This, it is always coming back and forward.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Please try to pause and resume a podcast download an see what happens.
    Thanks,
    Jorge

    Similar problem with iTunes 11.0.1.12 on win7. The crash seems to occur during the "file processing" part of downloading. I've tried removing the download file from the iTunes folder - it doesn't help.  Really frustrating problem. It doesn't generate any error message beyond itunes need to stop and searching for a solution (the "solution" to update iTunes is the PROBLEM - not a solution).
    I've installed VLC to play the files but it isn't iTunes and it won't sync with my ipod so... Apple people - - can't you do some simple software??? Do you really have to head towards bankruptcy again????
    Geesh the Google maps flap was bad enough!

  • How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??

    How to Troubleshoot iTunes 10.6 Download Failure in Firefox 14.0.1 ??
    posted Thursday, 02 August 2012 at 07:43AM PDT, by Matthew B. | @QHereKidSF
    SIMPLY-PUT !!
    I am desperate to know of any possible workaround solutions that might resolve inexplicable failure(s) to download iTunes 10.6 (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/) in Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 Browser for Windows 7 (64-bit) OS...!!
    FURTHER DETAILED !!
    In an aimlessly ill-informed effort to troubleshoot the "Please install Apple Application Support" ERROR Message reported subsequent to my numerous attempts to "repair/install" the most recent and otherwise previously up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & iTunes on my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC, running on the Windows 7 (64-bit) OS... I mistakenly (perhaps?) thought it wise to attempt to execute a complete uninstall/reinstall of both QuickTime & iTunes. Oops... YIKES !!
    Somewhere along the knotty entangled threads of my most circuitous web-research, as I browsed for information and instructional resources regarding proper procedure for (re)-installing Apple Application Support (amongst other peripheral software programs provided by Apple, Inc. as integral technical components essential to seamless & successful installation, application and operation of the most current/up-to-date versions of Apple QuickTime & Apple iTunes), I seem to recall reading explicit suggestions from well-rated community support contributors to proceed with the aforementioned course of action...
    Unfortunately, now that I no longer have either Apple QuickTime or iTunes currently installed on my Win7OS HP Pavilion Notebook PC, I continue consistently to fail at initializing either a functional download or installation solely of iTunes 10.6 -- so far!!
    When I link to the Apple iTunes 10.6 Download URL (listed herein, above!) and click the (blue) DOWNLOAD NOW Button located near mid-center of the left-sidebar in the presumably appropriate/correct browser tab window (fully framed and immediately visible in maximized view, on my screen), what seems then to occur is pretty much what one could only image/explain &/or describe as "zip/zilch, nothing/nada, absolute silence, stillness: a blatantly obvious failure to initiate functional download of anything at all, whatsoever...!!"
    Not a single hint of code or even a mere bleep/beep/blink/blip in my Win7OS or HP Pavilion Monitor Display appears before for me; ultimately, suggesting without any real certainty whatsoever that a download of the iTunes 10.6 Software Installation Package has perhaps initialized, successfully...!!?
    WHAT TO DO? What to do? ...ARGGHHH !!
    I am desperate to find a workaround solution with which to troubleshoot and ideally resolve these persistent difficulties I continue to encounter when attempting to download iTunes 10.6 via Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 on the Win7OS (64-bit) of my HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC!!
    Might there possibly be anyone -- anyone, at all!! -- out there, somewhere amidst the knotty entangled nets broadly cast far'cross the endlessly great and expansive waves of this worldwide cyberspace we share, who perhaps would know of a proper workaround fix with which I might troubleshoot my current web-computing technology crisis??
    If indeed so, please do come diving face-first forward toward me... with any decent amount of valuably trustworthy information, instruction, advice, guidance, support or even encouragement that you might be readily willing and able to provide!! Please, please...!!?
    Any worthwhile, effective assistance that's provided to me (in as short an order as possible) would be most sincerely appreciated & acknowledged widely across the web by me... with resounding cries of humble recognition, admiration, and deeply indebted gratitude!! At least, that's only as much as I can so far surmise to guarantee, at this point -- thus far and so moving forward!!
    Yes, indeed...!! That's a promise which I intend to keep; should all issues be resolved well much for and in my favor, as well as much, much sooner rather than far-too much later -- hopefully, even by the end of the coming day; one might say... *sigh* Hehe. WINK/GRIN...
    Boy o'boy, now... That sure would delight me to the nth-infinite degree, indeed! "As heck a'heaven-high: FOR SURE!!" I dare say...

    Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?

    hi gary
    have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
    Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
    In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
    hope this may help madforit

  • My podcast downloads fine from OS but not from IOS...

    Hi everyone,
    This podcast downloads from the iTunes on OS fine but won't download straight from iOS.
    Anyone know why?
    Nick

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for the response. I've consulted with our server guy and he says that there are no read/write privileges. Jdev is not on the server.
    I'm really stumped by this so if you have any ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
    Happr New Year to you,

  • HT5295 Does anyone else have an issue with the way iTunes fails to properly sync a podcast downloaded to an iPhone or iPad when connected to iTunes later?

    When I download a podcast directly to my iPhone or iPad and listen to it I expect it to reflect that status when I come home. Instead the podcast downloads again in iTunes and then wonderful joy it changes the status to unplayed and I wind up having to figure out what I've listened to and what I haven't (I listen to a lot of 'em).

    I'm not having issues.  What have you done to troubleshoot?

  • Video Podcasts download but remain greyed out

    Hello,
    Just installed a new hard drive and upgraded to latest itunes. Video Podcasts download but then remain greyed out.
    My only thought is that I don't have latest Quick Time. I have 7.02. Afraid of the latest QT as I see it causing probs over on the QT forum.
    thanks for any input,

    using ibook G4

    Upgraded QT to 7.2 and that did the trick.

  • What kind of server power needed for 500 simultanious podcast downloads?

    OK I run a VBulletin forum
    We have average 500+ people on line at the same time, some times as many as 750..
    I want to do some podcasting at the time of a trade show, relating to the forums topic.
    What I DONT want is for the forum and server to grind to a halt because we suddenly get a lot of 'pull' / bandwith use because of podcast download / streaming.
    Is there anywhere i can go to get info on the tech / server requirements for podcasts and the load they put on servers?
    Thanks v much in advance!

    I would suggest just hosting your MP3 files on libsyn
    http://www.libsyn.com
    They are setup to handle a lot of podcast bandwidth.
    Remember there is no need to host your MP3 files where you have your main site - Just the XML (Rss Feed) should be on your main site.

  • Download failure on free purchases of Pages and OS update

    I tried to download Pages, listed as free, and you automatically get the Mavericks update.  After notice of "download failure" I went back to th App store and deleted the free purchases of the OS update and Pages. Now, when I go back to tha App store to try again, it shows Pages at $19.99. This is a brand new MacBook Air. How can I get the free Pages download?

    Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
    Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

  • How to RESUME a podcast download?

    When podcast downloads stop for some reason, there is the option to RESUME the download. But in my case (am I the only one?) nothing resumes: the download restarts from zero. Why?
    In my case that is very frustrating. I live in Indonesia and have a very low download speed: it can take 9 or 10 hours to download a video podcast of 20 minutes. I can still live with that. But what makes it frustrating: if there is a short power blackout or internet disconnection (they happen often!) I must restart my download from the beginning. Sometimes 10 attempts are necessary.
    Also the PAUSE button in my iTUNES has a problem: it does not pause/interrupt the download, but stops it and I must start from the beginning again.
    Any solution or alternative?
    I am subscribed to 3 daily video news downloads, so would prefer a solution that still can handle automatic downloads...
    Thanks

    I also did a little digging and many others are having the same problem and this has been a problem for a long time. It seems to only occur when downloading Podcasts or iTunesU files, while the Apple Store seems to pause and resume correctly. Here's some links of those who have the same problem, but there are no solutions from within iTunes.

  • Podcasts download when i don't want them to

    When I sync my ipod, some (although not all) of my podcasts download onto the ipod even though I have not selected the "sync" setting for them. Can I stop this from happening? Can I delete those that have already downloaded?

    This depends on you podcast settings. What are they set to for iTunes and on the iPod?
