Podcast Downloading

I am trying to upload a recorded sermon onto itunes. The RSS feed, sermons.xml is working fine. I don't see any problems with the XML file. If I go directly to the RSS feed, I am able to listen to the mp3's. iTunes recognizes that the mp3's are there, but you cannot download them. Im stuck on what to do. Any suggestions???

Hi Palestininheart,
I am certain there are many podcast apps available, many of which are free, just search for them in Nokia Store on your device itself.

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!

Hi I have an ipod classic.The problem I have is that the ipod seems to sync new music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded and they do not sync to the ipod.Any suggestions please ?

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,
Newbe.

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,

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.

After installing OS 6, I chose the option to have my podcasts download automatically, but they just say preparing to download and nothing happens. Is there still a way to manually download or is a fix coming?

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?

How do I cancel a podcast download?

Is there a way to cancel a podcast download? I can stop it, but there is no cancel button.

If you notice in area in iTunes on left hand side where all the fancy icons are, Look down this list you will see an area called Downloads if something is downloading. Click it so it is Blue
Then right click on the Podcast downloading and choose one of the 3 options based on what you want.
Pause
Delete
Pause All

Very slow podcast downloads since 10.4.11 update

All Downloading has been fast until the new update to 10.4.11 the other night. 55mb and 63mb which use to take 3-4 minutes now take 2 hrs or more and a 228mb podcast download showing over 9 hrs. Never had this problem before and it is new since upgrade. Anyone else having this problem or found a fix to it.

I have experienced the same problem. I have several season passes to TV shows which previously downloaded in 10-15 minutes. Now each episode is taking 7-10 hours to download. I have been through every recommended fix including deinstalling itunes and reinstalling it, rebuilding the library, restarting my cable modem etc. When I first installed the update, itunes became unstable and crashed several times forcing a reboot. I did a repair which failed to fix the problem. Only after I deinstalled and reinstalled a clean version of itunes FOR THE SECOND TIME did itunes become stable again.
However the download speeds are unacceptably slow.
I contacted itunes tech support, went through two levels of non-tech support and have an open trouble ticket currently.
I have a commercial account at home which provides 25mbps download speed. Currently itunes is downloading at between 50kbps and 250 kbps. I have monitored the network performance and its a sawtooth waveform that indicates that my client asks for a download, waits for several milliseconds, then itunes store sends a packet, itunes client asks again, and there is another pause. it appears to me based on viewing the network performance that the itunes store is just sitting there for a "long" period of time between each transmission that is resulting in this huge loss in performance.
if anyone has any thoughts on this I would appreciate hearing them.

Yesterday I could not download my podcasts, then I happened to download to version 5.1 and then podcasts downloaded, BUT my music had no sound ! Today, I RESET my IPOD and got music with sound, but now cannot download my podcasts anymore. What is going on

Yesterday I could not download my podcasts (they were just hanging in the download page). Then after trying many things, I updated to version 5.1 and then could get my podcast downloads. BUT then I could not get any SOUND to my music only. So I RESET my IPOD touch this morning and the music sound worked , but then could NOT get my podcast to download again ! What happened?

I figured out it was a SPECIFIC PODCAST that would not download. My other podcasts did download. Missymae

2.2 Podcast download: errors on 2/3 podcasts I try to download

Anyone else seen this?
I tried to download a podcast (Stack Overflow podcast) through the iTunes Store on my iPhone and it gave me a Download Error right away.
I tried to download another one (Ruby on Rails podcast) and it downloaded the whole file (progress bar got to 100%) and then gave another download error.
I tried some of random podcasts and managed to download some other ones. But I'd quite like to have these.
Any thoughts?

My podcasts download just fine, however they seem to be in the wrong format. Some enhanced audio files are playing as videos. I've reported the problem to the iTunes store (see pasted below), but I wanted to flag it to see if others are having the same problem:
With the most recent iPhone update (2.2), it's great having the ability to download podcasts. However, playback of enhanced audio podcasts has been causing problems. For some enhanced podcasts, they play back as they used to, providing access to chapter markers in the top right corner, and allowing the screen to be turned off while still playing the audio. Other enhanced podcasts now seem to show up as videos, with a small tv screen icon showing up next to the episode name, the chapter markers accessible via a button at the bottom of the screen, and I am unable to play back the audio show with the screen off (much as most of the rest of the videos work). I haven't yet been able to find a difference between these enhanced audio files, all seem to be file format .m4a, some encoded with Garage Band, some encoded with Podcast Maker.
Some examples:
This Week in Media 117 (shows up as video)
gdgt 013 (shows up as video)
The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack AAC Ep. 3.37 (shows up as video)
MacCast eMacCast 2008.12.01 (shows up as enhanced audio)
This change started with iPhone software update 2.2, and has unfortunately rendered many of my podcasts useless unless I keep the screen active.
Additionally, another related change that was made with iPhone software update 2.0, was that, much like on the iPods, video podcasts could be viewed as a video, or listened to as only audio. On iPhone software version 1.1.4 and earlier, you had the choice to listen to a video podcast (which allowed you to turn the screen off) when accessing the podcast in the podcast section of the player, or as a video with the screen when accessing all videos in the player. Since 2.0, all video podcasts accessed from the podcast section play as videos. I understand the reasoning for this, as it may seem more straight forward to some users, but it has decreased the functionality of the player app. It'd be great if functionality were restored via a system preferences option to enable listening-only to video podcasts.
One other person has found the problem here as well:

Anyone else experiencing this? Might be similarly tied to these podcasting errors?
