Podcasts won't be found automatically

Trying to just do what any podcast downloader has always done since the day of the first podcasts. I just want the podcast app to find current episodes and download them. But it won't. Sometimes I'll skip one a couple of times and it will automatically stop downloading (annoying, but at least I know to look for it) but I just discovered others that it claims to be still downloading, but the last four episodes have not. The address has not changed, it does not appear to have stopped from not listening, what is left? Why does it do this?

Same problem here, no clue on how to stop this happening yet, it appears to happen randomly on any of the podcasts at any time. And normally only just after i sync my iphone.

Itunes won't load CDs automatically and I have to restart it everytime to load 1 CD. I have ensured I have latest Itunes, latest DVD driver, start itunes from program library in safe mode but nothing works. Any ideas ?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

ITunes 11: Newest podcasts won't sync with iPhone?

I have an iPhone 5 - I abandoned the Podcasts app in favor of just syncing my podcasts through iTunes and listening to them in the Music app.
But since the iTunes update last night, I haven't been able to sync the newest downloads of my podcasts (my settings are to automatically sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts and delete them from my device once they've been played, upon the next sync.)
I tried the usual re-set, restart of both iTunes and my iPhone. I've even selected a new podcast, and old unplayed episodes of it sync perfectly fine. But there are two or three podcasts that won't sync their newest episodes with my device.
Has anyone else run into this?

I had this issue as well. After trying various things, here's what I did to solve the problem:
- rebooted both the computer and the iPhone (not sure if this is necessary or not)
- turned off syncing of the affected podcasts (in iTunes, click on the device, then click the "Podcasts" tab at the top and then in the Podcasts list I unchecked the specific podcasts that were not syncing
- sync the iPhone (by pressing the Sync button at the bottom right of the iTunes window)
- turned syncing of the affected podcasts back on
- sync the iPhone again
Hope this helps.

My podcasts won't download from the computer to my ipod touch all of a sudden!

All of a sudden my podcasts won't download from the computer to the ipod touch anymore. It still downloads changes in music and apps, but it just seems to be podcasts. Can anybody help me diagnose my problem?

If they are video podcasts, they now appear in the Video app after iOS 5.

Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

Hi all
Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
Cheers,
Stuart

Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

Why won't my Mac automatically connect to my preferred network?

My router at home is one of my preferred networks but it won't connect automatically. I always have to go up to the wifi menu and connect to Home manually. Why won't it connect automatically?

Try to drag the network to the top in the order of networks.
System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi
To delete the network, select it and click "-" minus button underneath.

Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

Deleted podcasts won't go to the recycling bin

I'm running the newest version of iTunes, freshly installed, in Windows 7. Most of my podcasts come from a backup that I dragged and dropped into my iTunes folder. I've done this before without any issues. However, now whenever I try to delete a podcast that I haven't recently downloaded, it will give me a dialog stating that the podcast won't sync if I delete it, and then the buttons "Delete Podcast" and "Cancel" Rather than the "Keep File" "Remove to Recycling Bin" and "Cancel" that I'm used to. Deleting does not send the podcast into the recycling bin as it is supposed to and as it used to, however; it instead keeps the podcast in the same file and removes the instance from iTunes. I don't want to have to delete every file twice. Selecting all files and clicking on Allow Auto Delete changed nothing. Repairing my install of iTunes did not change anything. It seems as though all other instances of this issue are many years old. Assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

Podcasts are no longer being automatically updated after hibernation mode

Heeello to you all!
I noticed that after going to hibernation mode (the motherboards suspend to disk functionality) the schedule for my podcast updates is messed up. For example now is Feb 22nd 2007, 21.14 and my iTunes says that it wants to search for new episodes on August 13th 2006, 23:57. This means that the podcasts are not being updated automatically after hibernation. How to reproduce this bug in iTunes:
1.) Start iTunes
2.) Set up: Search for new episodes hourly in Podcasts settings.
3.) Close the settings window.
4.) Leave iTunes running.
5.) Go to hibernation mode (This mode may need to be activated in the system settings: System Settings -> Engergy Options) by klicking Start -> Turn off Computer -> holding shift while clicking on Standby ("Standby" changes to "Hibernate")
6.) Turn the computer back on and have a look in the iTunes settings: In my case you find senseless time and date for the next podcast-update.
Is anyone able to reproduce this error?
And is Apple please able to fix this if this is truly a bug?
Regards,
Asks always good questions
P.S.: The english terminology differs most probably from the reality because I happen to use a german language system.
PPS: Yes i use the newest iTunes and Windows xp updates
Super Windows Computer! Windows XP Pro

I tried this on several other computers and I was able to reproduce this bug on every single one. Very amazing that I am the only one complaining.

I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (4.04GB at last glance). However, I am noticing that the memory is going down everytime I try an export, so I am figuring the .band file is going somewhere i.e. taking up space
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. I've also posted this on the Garageband forum. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.

Can you export as MP3 or AAC and drag it from Home Folder/Music/Garageband into iWeb?
Better still, upload the file to your server and use a fallback player so that those that don't have the QuickTime plugin can hear it.

sarah

So you are able to sync these podcasts over to your iPod Classic? Would you be able to post a screenshot of one of these podcast's Summary tab of its Get Info window in iTunes? Be sure to blank out the Apple ID fields and any personal informaiton shown on this tab.

I download radio programmes via Podcast, but have recently found that some episodes play for only 30 seconds and then the whole app quits. This happens even though the whole episode has downloaded. I would be grateful for advice.

E-books and podcasts in french and NOT automatically in german in Switzerland

How to get e-books and podcasts in french and NOT automatically in german, even living in Switzerland, but in the french part of Switzerland?
In Switzerland, 70% speak german but there is a large part speaking french.
As I am living in the french part of Switzerland, I speak french and NOT german. How to change my ebook and podcast applications from german to french? I don't want to see a book or à podcast in german anymore on those apps. In french, please! Or possibly in english. But NOT in german.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here, but you can offer feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/.
However, Apple does not control the laungages that e-books or podcasts are published in for a given itunes store. That is up to the publisher. Perhaps you should reach out to them.

Podcasts won't synch

My daughter just got a 4th Gen 8Gb iPod Nano. Prior to getting her new nano, she had a 1st gen nano synched to iTunes v8. We have set up the new nano, however, iTunes doesn't seem to recognize that the new nano has the ability to play podcasts. She has downloaded a few and it says that they "are not copied to the device because they cannot be played on this iPod." On the left side under the device, it does not show podcasts either. I have reset the iPod, reinstalled iTunes and nothing seems to work. Any additional help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aherlow

I just noticed this yesterday as well. I have been using a 2nd Gen Nano, had no problems with Podcasts,etc. Now this past Saturday got an 8GB 4th Gen. Nano and loaded music, podcasts, pics, etc., still with almost 3 GB free.
New Podcasts won't copy to the Nano when I drag them there. Interestingly, Podcasts that are more than 4 days old (the ones I've already heard) will drag and drop onto the Nano just fine. I wondered if the Podcasts were really there, but clicked on it and it plays fine in iTunes. What is going on? I am updated to iTunes 8.0.1.11
I double-checked, and yes I am logged in to iTunes under my userID/e-mail. Argh.

MacAIR keyboard light won't light up automatically

MacAIR keyboard light won't light up automatically, although I did tick where it says 'adjust keyboard light in low light' . It's OSX Yosemite 10.10

Good morning Otabek_USA,
If your MacBook Air's keyboard backlighting is not behaving as it should, I would suggest that you reset the computer's System Management Controller. Use the steps in this article -
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Specifically -
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
