Podcast wont download in Podcast app

The podcast I upload to iTunes always generates an error message when I attempt to download in the Podcasts app. Downloads successfully in iTunes but not in the app. Ive had a friend tell me it will not download on his either, so I know the problem is not with my phone itself. Any ideas as to why this would be?

Ok I have no idea why, but a solution to dl this pod in your podcast app.
1. open the Itunes-App on your Ipad, Iphone
2. search for the podcast and press download on the episode
3. Itunes redirect you to the podcast-app and the dl starts without any error message

My podcast wont download to IPOD

My podcast are gone after upgrading. Same thing happened to my music but I was able to find the fix to restore. Now I'm re-subscribing but the podcast wont download to my IPOD. Has anyone else had this issue

I had the same problem and just figured it out today. The new podcast I subscribed to wasn't syncing to my iPod even though all episodes were checked in the Podcasts section of Library. All my other podcasts were syncing without a problem. When I connected my iPod to my laptop I selected the iPod under "Devices" and then selected the Podcasts tab at the top. There I noticed the new podcast had been added by default with the checkbox empty. Once I checked the box it synced to my iPod.

Videos and podcasts wont download

I've downloaded Lost tv show from iTunes and some other podcasts too but they wont download onto my iPod nano no matter what I do everything else seems to be working please help me I'm going crazy. are the tv shows just something I have to watch on my computer or what?

TV shows and video podcasts won't display on the nano. To watch those you either need to use iTunes on your computer, or you need to get a video iPod.
Audio podcasts should work just fine on your nano.

First video podcast wont download

Hi,
I have a podcast I have been running for a little over a year (audio, mp3). Today I released my first video from the feed. It shows up in the list but wont download from iTunes only. Using my browser direct to my feed and a test with doppler also pulled it down without issue.
The video is in mp4 format and I can view it locally in iTunes.
Totally stumped as to why that one episode wont load.
My feed is http://www.flaxpond.net/today/podcast/todayinvmk.rss if anyone would like to see it. (I know its ugly but it works USUALLY ROFL)
Or look for cowboy from iTunes (only video in the feed, released 11/15/07) from the today in vmk podcast.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

If everything else has worked for you, my first guess would be that the podtrack prepend is tripping iTunes up because it ends in ".mp3". I couldn't preview the file in the Store, and when I subscribed to the feed, it looked like the file downloaded, but then it would disappear (I can't even find it on my hard drive!). So, try changing/removing the podtrack prefix in your feed and see if it works. If it doesn't, I would recommend working on overhauling your feed, cause Validator says it is invalid.

ITunes video podcast wont download

Using the latest iTunes on WIn 7 and have three video podcasts which appear to download but when they complete they haven't downloaded and appear greyed out with an open circle on the left. Can anyone help please?

Yes, the file isn't where it's supposed to be, therefore it cannot be downloaded onto your computer.
This is a problem with the Podcast. Each episode is held on a server, the Podcast producers specify where the file is, and all iTunes does is list it according to the information supplied by the producer. (Neither Apple nor iTunes store the Podcast, they simply list it.) When you ask for it (either manually or via a subscription) iTunes asks the host server to download a copy to you. However, if the file is not actually stored where the Podcast's producers say they've put it, you get that message.
I suggest you contact the show's producers to let them know there is a problem. On the iTunes Store page for the Gadget Lab, you should see a link to "Website." Follow that and send them an email.
I've had this happen with Podcasts I'm subscribed to. Usually, all it needs is an email from someone to let them know, they correct the fault and hey presto, done!

Some Podcasts Wont Download (err -3259)

I download about 40 diff podcasts. Most podcasts download no problem. Others have to be paused/restarted 10-30 times to get it to download in 5MB chunks. It is usually the same podcast(s) that get the error.

Hi kellydigital:

Is "Podcast Information" downloaded with Podcast?

Deutsche Welle (German News) automatically sends a transcript of the broadcast with the broadcast to itunes.
Is this uploaded to the Ipod (Nano) with the podcast?
It is very useful as a language learning aid? It would be great language learning tool if it was.
If not done automatically - it there another way to get it to do so?
Thanks,
rh

Yes the information fro the podcasts is transmitted to the nano. Just click select a few times times to cycle through options when a podcast is playing. (options being volume, fastforwad/rewind, album art, description/lyrics.

After i updated to IOS 8 my ipad wont download anything

After updating my ipad to IOS 8 my ipad wont download anything like apps, music,ibooks,app updates,etc. I do have a strong wifi connection, but when i click download, the item gets stuck preparing to download, and doesnt even get to asking for my apple ID password. Help?

I had the same problem, and I read on other apple blogs it is the WSJ app. After deleting the app, everything worked for me, so I think it is right.
Delete WSJ app.
Close out all apps (swipe up).
Shut down Ipad by pressing and holding restart button.
wait 15 seconds. Restart ipad.
Everything should work
With all the other people who have been having this problem and solved it by deleting the WSJ app, cant believe Apple hasn't blocked their app (it prevented all my podcasts, newsstand, and other apps from updating!!!)

why cant i download a podcast i bought onto my ipod touch?i have tried deleting it and redownloading it but it still wont work.I have also done it with some apps that wont work as in wont install for mewat and why wont they work please help

Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS?
Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
What happens when you try to sync the podcasts? Error messages?
Have you successfully synced apps and posdcasts from this iTunes library before?

For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

Greetings Heather,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,
BobbyD
