Podcasts downloading in wrong place..

Twice I have had this happen. Podcasts that I am subscribed to will "disappear" and then I will find they are downloading under another name so that two podcasts are now merged. These are not podcasts that have actually been merged - these are completely separate podcasts now being listed under one title. (This is happening on my computer not on an iPod.)
Is there a way to correct this and prevent it from happening again?
And is there a way to organize podcasts differently than iTunes does?

Same problem here! The podcast I wanted wouldn't download correctly, so I took the website's advice and downloaded them directly. Now I can't get the podcast's files to go into the Podcast Library- they only show up in the Music Library. I would really love some way to get something I -know- to be a podcast to go under the "Podcast" section... >.>;;; Please help someone!

Podcasts downloaded to "wrong" folder, then ITunes can't find it anymore

Hi
When I subscribe to a podcast or download the newest podcast, it will be saved not to the folder of itunesmusic/podcasts/name of podcast, but to /itunesmusic/downloads/podcasts/name of podcast, apparently as tmp-folder. Synchronising just then with my IPOD works, but when I exit ITunes and restart it, the podcast is not found anymore and I get the exclamation mark. When I search for it I can't find the podcast then anymore.
I have ITunes 7.0.2.16 and running Windows XP.
Any one has an idea how to solve this?
Also is there a way to downgrade ITunes to version 6 or so? Because there it worked without problems.
Appreciate any feedback.

Too my a bit to work out *** was going on, but it was driving me insane with podcasts vanishing on me.
To clarify, this is a full description of the issue:
I have a problem with iTunes losing podcasts. They'd download, seem to play, but when I exited and reloaded iTunes a load of them would be lost and give me the exclamation icon. I've managed to work out why iTunes is losing my podcasts, but have no idea how to fix it.
I've got a folder specified which I want iTunes to use to store my stuff in (E:\Media\itunes).
When I subscribe to a new podcast it downloads to a file called E:\Media\itunes\Downloads\Podcasts\File on 4_ Phone tap evidence - 21 N.tmp\download.mp3 and creates a folder called E:\Media\itunes\Podcasts\File on
I think it's supposed to save it to the first location and then copy it across to the second folder when it's finished. Except it doesn't. iTunes can run the podcast now, but from the temp folder.
When you restart itunes, it nukes everything in the E:\Media\itunes\Downloads\Podcasts folder - I assume as it thinks I have no downloads outstanding and anything in here is just junk.
Apart from manually copying, renaming and point itunes to this file - how do I get around this problem. It's only started since I went to iTunes7 and a complete uninstall/registry/config cleanse followed by a reinstall doesn't fix the problem.

Problems with audio books from public library downloading to wrong place.

Since updating software to ios5, my books from public library no longer get downloaded to "audiobooks". Now they get downloaded to "playlists". When i am in the middle of listening to a book, and switch to listening music, it will lose my place in the book. Before the software update, this was not a problem. Is there anything I can do to get my books to download into the "audiobooks" again?

You need to wait until Overdrive get updated. That is a know problem.

HT203175 I downloaded two videos from itunes into Media Go and I can't play or transfer them to my Walkman. Please help. I'm new at this and haven't a clue as to what I should do. Is Media Go the wrong place to put the videos? Thanks. Earl G.

IPhoto - My iPhoto is not responding. When I click on iPhoto I get a never ending spinning beachball. I almost think it is looking in the wrong place for the pictures. How do I redirect it back to the Mac hard drive?

My iPhoto is not responding. Whenever I click on the iPhoto icon I get a twirling beachball. It is as if the machine is looking in the wrong place for the photos. How can I see where the machine is looking to find out if this is really the problem. How can I see the path?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then the problem lies with your current library.
If that's the case Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How to restrict number of podcast downloads occurs at one time?

Is there any way I can restrict the number of Itunes podcasts are being downloaded at one time. At times when I have multiple downloads going on my internet connection is over tasked and I am unable to do anything else until downloads complete. I would like to restrict my downloads to 1 at time any help would be greatly appreciated.

When your iTunes begins to download, switch to the Store>Downloads. At the bottom of the screen, in the grey area, is a check box marked *Allow simultaneous downloads* - this needs to be unchecked, that is - no tick in the box.
I've never found this option on any other screen, so it has to be done while a download is under way. If several downloads are taking place when you do this, iTunes will simply keep the second and third downloads in a queue and then proceed one at a time.

JWS requests jar files at the wrong place

Hi all,
I created JWS project with netbeans, and by deafult, NB places all required jar files in the "lib" folder. NB also created jnlp file with correct paths to required files. It looks like this
<update check="always" policy="always"/>
<resources>
<jar download="eager" href="main.jar" main="true"/>
<jar download="eager" href="lib/required.jar" main="false"/>
</resources> Now, when app is started, required.jar is correctly located at lib folder and application works, but from that moment on, JWS makes hundreds of request for "${codebase}/required.jar" (obviously wrong place) and gets 404 responses. It keeps making these requests as long as app is running and this slows down application significantly.
My temp workaround was to move required.jar to codebase root and problem is gone, but i still find it weird. I guess this may explain some complaints about slow JWS.
Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can check?
Thanks!

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?

Is there a cd making software like Jam 6.0.3 that will let you crossfade songs in a playlist that works on 10.7 or later OS? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

Is there a software app out there like Jam 6.0.3 that allows you to arrange and crossfade songs in a playlist that works on 10.7 or later OS? I have Jam on 10.6.8 now and it works great but it will not work on 10.7 and I need to upgrade the OS to run a new Drobo setup.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question please direct me to the right place.

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?
Dan

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?

How to set nano 7th gen to accept podcast downloads

I downloaded (I thought) podcasts from the iTunes store yesterday. My Nano was plugged into the computer. A pop up menu asked if I wanted to accept/subscribe (don't remember which) to podcasts and I checked yes. Today when I plugged in my Nano, there is no podcast category in my library and when I check the Nano itself, it shows no podcasts. I checked the general settings and "podcast" is greyed out so I can't check that I want podcasts to be automatically synced. What do I need to do to get podcasts downloaded into my iTunes library and synced to my Nano?

This did nto solve my problem. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple. The first "tech" had little idea of what I was talking about, suggested things that did not work, and set a call back (so he could try and find an answer) at the wrong time.
Not getting the call back at the time it was supposed to happen, I went through the whole calling Apple again.
This time I got a real tech who, when she couldn't figure out what was wrong, got a supervisor (Lynette) to take over. Lynette arranged to "see" my computer so she could better understand the problem. She, too, was perplexed. Because I'd been on the phone for almost 2 hours, I asked if she would call me back in the morning and she agreed, that would give her time to research.
Well, 10 minutes later the phone rang and Lynette asked me to go to the computer and open "Parental" in the iTunes settings. (A bit of necessary background: the local Apple store had given me a replacement Nano 3 days prior because my new one was getting too much radio static. I assumed it was a new Nano, but it was apparently a refurbished one, and it had not been totally cleaned.) I had never thought to open the parental category as I don't have kids in the house. Guess what...when I opened it, both podcast and radio had been check to no allow! Lynette was as happy as I was; she said she knew she couldn't leave without solving the problem so kept fooling with it.
Lynett rocks!!!

ITunes album artwork - how can I stop iTunes downloading the wrong artwork?

I was delighted to see that in the upgraded iTunes there is a facility to download album artwork using, I presume, much the same methodology as downloading track listings.
While my experience of downloading track listings has largely been OK - save for the odd niggle; my experience of the artwork function has been appalling.
Firstly, any release that is territory specific, e.g. UK only, or compilations, downloads the wrong artwork or no artwork at all. But also, the wrong artwork is attributed for classic albums by established acts. E.g. Genesis' Duke, downloads the artwork for Three Sides Line. Also, I have two Led Zeppelin albums and in each case, the art work downloaded was for the cheesy tribute group DREAD Zeppelin!!
Can anyone from Apple comment on this?
Also, if I manually insert the correct artwork; will this be overwritten if in the future I scan for updated artwork across my music collection? I have 65GB+ music on my hard drive, so that is an awful lot of album covers to get through!
Thanks,
A

Manually added album art will not be overwritten.

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!
