Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

Please always include the URLs of your Store page and feed to save me having to search for them. For references, your Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/church-of-the-cross/id317330237
and your feed is at http://www.cotcboston.org/Podcast.xml
You have introduced a fatal error into your feed which is rendering it unreadable. The title for the entry of 24 November 2013 is given as
<title>Love's Durability & Permanence</title>
You cannot have an ampersand ('&') by itself in a feed because in XML it signifies the beginning of a code sequence; as this is never completed it blocks everything afterwards in the feed, and as this includes the closing tags it blocks the opening tags too.
You must replace the ampersand with either the word 'and' or the code

Podcasts not automatically downloading

Hi,
I am subscribed to the This American Life podcast, and have it set to download new episodes when they are available. However, each week they release a new TAL but the new episode does not download, or even appear, in my podcast library.
I have tried unsubscribing and subscribing again, but this didn't work.
Any suggestions or idea what is going wrong?
Thanks!

Depending on how often your iTunes is to check for the podcasts -- and how long you leave your system up and running and how long you have iTunes open -- the podcast may not get downloaded. Some daily podcasts are only in the store for a short time and are then replaced by the new one the next day. You can try hitting the Refresh button at the bottom right of the iTunes podcast window in your library. (That's what I do when grabbing my nightly dose of Countdown.)

Why are my podcast subscriptions not automatically downloading?

Some of my podcast subscriptions are not automatically downloading. New subscriptions are, but subscriptions that previously downloaded automatically no longer do so. When I re-subscribe, it does not solve the problem.

Hello>
I made changes to my rss file on my webserver two weeks ago and I do not see the updates on the iTunes site.
How long on average does it take for the ITunes site to see my new changes?
Thank you.

Why is my automatic download for season passes not working?

I'vr been using iTunes forever, but all of a sudden my season passes are not automatically downloading when I click 'check available downloads' and instead I have to go to each show and click download next to the episode. Whats up with that?

This is what Apple Support said:
This is correct, they will no longer download automatically. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please use these steps:
Open iTunes on your computer
Sign into your account
Under "Quick Links" menu (right hand side)
Choose "Purchased"
Choose TV Shows
Locate your show and download the items you are missing.
My questions: Who is making up these changes at Apple iTunes? Why is the goal now to make customer lives harder?

I can not adjust the automatic download for music, apps and books at the iPhone and the iPad. where is the mistake?

Podcasts not Automatically "Getting" or Downloading

My podcast feeds are updating, and I can download new episodes by clicking the "Get" Button, but in earlier versions of iTunes the newest podcasts would automatically download. Is there a way to enable iTunes to automatically download the latest podcast from my list without me having to click "Get"? It's handy to where I can just launch the software in the evening, and walk away while they download. Occasionally might have to refresh the list, but still would like them to download.

Dumb question, but you're positive you're using the same account as in Folio Builder Panel? And you're positive you published folios at the right size for the iPad device?
I just confirmed Adobe Content Viewer is able to log in and download folios for my account, so it doesn't appear to be a server-side issue.
If you're a pro or enterprise customer you may just want to call Gold Support and have them assist.

Most recent episode not automatically downloading

Hello,
My podcast seems to be valid according to feedvalidator.org, but it's not automatically downloading the most recent episode when I subscribe to it. I've read about other's having this same issue but it was always because they had errors in their RSS code.
The feed is at: http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/itunes.xml
I'm having this problem on a few of my podcasts, but not all ... it's weird.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ty

There are a couple of errors but they are quick fixes:
<itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"></itunes:image>
You don't need the </itunes:image> at the end... should be just:
<itunes:image href="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.jpg"/>
I think your problem lies with your latest podcast episode, which is the first that the iTunes client will download, it has a mismatched filetype:
<enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="video/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
Since the file is an MPEG4 audio file (.m4a) it should be type="audio/x-m4a"
<enclosure url="http://brandcast.websound.com/feed/7/0/chrysler1.m4a" type="audio/x-m4a" length="55084438"></enclosure>
Fix those and see if that doesn't help...

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments.

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments (i.e. a 2 MB file) without the user clicking on the SAVE button or the attachment icon (white square with down arrow).
Before download:
The problem is that if the user accidentally deletes the message before downloading the attachment, and then views that message in the trash OR moves the message from the trash back to inbox, the attachment is lost and message appears garbled up.
This is not a problem if user clicks SAVE or clicks attachment icon itself before deleting it - message and attachment will be readable in trash and when restored to inbox.
Question:
Is there a way to force Mail to download all attachment regardless of size without requiring user interaction?
Thank you
ig

Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type?
Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

ITunes 11.x does not automatically download purchased music

Hello to everyone,
after installing iTunes 11.x, the new purchased music (that I buy with my iPhone, iPod and iPad) is not automatically downloaded on my iMac even if I have the iTunes set for doing it (in the preferences). With the previous version of iTunes I did not have this problem.
Now, when I verify if there are new items to download, it says to me that there are no new elements to download, so I need to sync the iPhone/iPod or iPad manually to have them transfered to my iMac.
Does someone else have my same problem or could you help me in solving it?
Thanks.
Andrea

Hi, Fred.
Are you saying the songs are in you Library but not in the Purchased playlist?
In that case you can simply drag them from the main iTunes display into the playlist.

ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud. It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents. Please help.

Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

Since downloading Yosemite 10.10.2, emails are not automatically downloaded.I have to either click on Get Mail or click in and out of mail inbox.

It's very frustrating as it does not happen on my iPad or Iphone.

Howdy welcon,
It sounds like your Mail application is not checking for mail automatically anymore after updating to 10.10.2. It seems to me that the setting for this may have reset, or changed at some point thereafter so I would check the preferences for the Mail application:
General preferences - Mail Help
Check for new messages
When Mail gets new messages from the mail server. By default, the option is set to Automatically (Mail varies how often it gets messages, based on whether your Mac is plugged into an electrical outlet).
An IMAP account may get messages more frequently if the mail server supports the IDLE command; make sure the option to use it is selected in the account’s Advanced pane in Mail preferences.
If you set the option to Manually, click the Get Mail button in the Mail toolbar to check for messages. (Whenever you click an IMAP or Exchange mailbox, it syncs with the server, and shows new messages.)
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Default mail client does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb

Hi @ll,
default mail client on Ipad does not automatically download attachments when they are over 130Kb
Do you know if is possible to change this setting?

We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

Email program not automatically checking for new email

I just figured out why I'm not getting new mail notification in the Droid email program with my Yahoo email. It seems that the email program does not automatically check for new email. I have to manually open the app and then new emails are downloaded. I have the email settings set up as "data push" checked and "fetch schedule" is at 15 minutes. Is there something else I should be doing?

this may help you...
The way you have it set up should work fine. The stock android email app (for other than gmail) does not push as soon as you get an email, it has to actually "check" your email for you and you set how often it does that. There is afairly new yahoo app in the market (go to market and search for yahoo) that supposedly pushes to your phone when you get an email. I haven't used it, but if you need your email right when you get it, it might be worth a shot.
this was found on the page before yours. anyway i had the droid in january and it had the email deletion bug. so after i lost emails, i traded to the storm 2. it sounds like the droid x is better in that area so i'm waiting for mine to be delivreed.
But as a tip if you lose youe emails randomly.
when i did i called vzw and they didnt know what was going on, but when they sent me an email i scrolled to the bottom of the list then when i scrolled up it would be gone. or gone the next day etc. so, i logged into gmail and we tried again. THEN IN REAL TIME WHILE LOOKING AT GMAIL INBOX ON LAPTOP and the droid, vzw sent another email, i scrolled to the bottom of the laptop gmail inbox and scrolled back up and it too was gone..not in trash/junk either then a second later it disappeared from the droid.
HOWEVER, I HAD OUTLOOK 2003 STUDENT TEACHER EDITION ON WIN XP SP/2 at the time and outlook WAS ABLE TO RETREIVE ALL THOSE EMAILS THAT DISAPPEARED FROM GMAIL AND THE DROID after i would manually send and receive email in outlook. that tells me that the droid email glitch is not deleting all those emails...just "cloaking" them but they are stil there on gmail but only way i could get them was via outlook once a week as i am atruck driver and i cannot get online often. thats why i went to the storm 2..till the Droid X.
As a side note, if i got an email on the storm 1 and 2 i would get it no later than 2 through 5 seconds after sender pressed send. My droid i had in january, took about 8-10 seconds average and 20-27 seconds when it was not cranky and deleting...errr cloaking my emails. also you may wany to see if your incoming yahoo mail settings are for imap vs. POP3... i hear Imap is better setting and see if yahoo has that as well
i hope Droid X is better. from what i hear,not as many email deletion bug issues here...just sync setttings and delayed email notifications.

Correct. You must sync your device with iTunes.
