Ricky Gervais Podcasts

I am having trouble downloading these podcasts from Guardian Unlimited - I click to download and nothing happens. Has anyone else had this problem? Also does anyone know where I can get episodes 1 - 8 as these are not there either. Thanks

You can try a free uploading service like at website rapidshare.de where one person uploads a file and others can download it back to their machine.

  • Ricky Gervais Podcast on Older iPod problem

    I'm on a A1019 (one of the first generation ipods).
    Have had ZERO problems with it, except for this Podcast (The UK ricky Gervais) one. It seems to skips every episode and then goes on to play the next thing that isnt Ricky Gervaiss.
    Now, here's the weird thing: No problems of ANY kind with Any other Podcast (including ones that are "Explicit" eg scott Siglers). Ricky Gervais one also plays just fine in iTunes...
    Anyone else have this problem - I've seen vague mentions to some people having problems, but nothing really useful. My iPod works just fine, apart from on this one podcast. My guess is some internal tagging that is broken on my rev of the iPod, but this is SO annoying.

    As this is a user-to-user forum you don't get feedback from Apple.
    If you don't get replies, the readers of this topic obviously just don't know the answer.
    I downloaded a few episodes and they play fine on my even older iPod (1st gen. 5 GB scrollwheel model).
    Podcasts are not downloaded from the iTMS, but directly from the website of the podcaster.
    Try downloading the mp4's (or mp3's) directly from their website (http://www.guardian.co.uk/rickygervais) and see if they play on your iPod.
    Choose to download the linked file and, after downloading change the .mpga extension to .m4a.
    Add it to the library. They won't show up in your Podcast directory however.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT203167 I bought and downloaded the Ricky Gervais' Audiobook series "A Guide To" last year off of my old iPhone. Since i bought my new iPhone the audiobook dont show up in my purchased items list. Is there a way I can retrieve them without having to pay

    I bought and downloaded the Ricky Gervais' Audiobook series "A Guide To" last year off of my old iPhone. Since i bought my new iPhone the audiobook dont show up in my purchased items list. Is there a way I can retrieve them without having to pay again.Ty

    Sorry, but audiobooks cannot be downloaded more than once without charge. You will need to have the audiobooks in iTunes on your computer so you can sync them to your new iPhone. If the audiobooks are not in iTunes and you don't have a viable backup, you may be out of luck. You can, however, contact the iTunes Store, explain the situation, and see if they can make an exception for you.

    After you have deauthorized, play the first show on the computer. You should get a screen saying you're computer is not authorized and you will have to enter your Apple ID and password. After you do this, and the computer is authorized, you can then copy all of them to the iPod.

  • How do I change the artist/owner name for my podcast?

    How do I change the artist/owner name for my podcast?
    For eg, a podcast has 'The Ricky Gervais Podcast' and underneath 'Ricky Gervais'. I can't see where to change the latter. I can't change that through our podcast host Libsyn.
    Is it done through iTunes?
    Jack

    You can't change anything in iTunes: all infomation is carried in the feed, in this case in the 'itunes:author' tag. there will certainly be somewhere to enter it but if you can't find it you will need to contacts Libsyn; or quite possible Rob Walch, who works for them and posts here, will see this question.

  • Copying podcasts to ipod from library

    When i update my ipod it will not copy my recent purchase of the ricky gervais podcast from audible.com, stating that 'this ipod my only contain content from two audible accounts'. As i only have one audible account I find this mystifying. I am able to play the podcast, just not copy it.

    Use itunes of course,make sure everything is checkmarked, to add any library to your iPod you have to with itunes. You can make a folder or find one of your librarys in a folder. Then, go to "file" on itunes then you can take it from there.

  • IPod requires hard reset after playing podcast with chapters

    I've noticed that I need to do a hard reset (hold down menu and select buttons for a few seconds) after my iPod goes idle after playing a podcast with chapters (the Ricky Gervais show).
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Can reproduce the problem on a 20GB 4G and 6GB mini
    with another podcast series with chapters
    (fortunately not many I listen to have caught up with
    chaptering).
    The odd behaviour I've noticed is that the Ricky
    Gervais podcast, for example, only has to be present
    on the iPod and never listened to for the iPod/s to
    lock up when they go to sleep. A hard reset then
    required to bring them back to life until the podcast
    has been listened to and the iPod/s then resync'ed
    with the mothership to then remove it (and restore
    some sanity until the next one).
    I did conduct a hard restart of my 10GB iPod with no success. The only workaround solution I've discovered is to use the "Convert Selection to AAC" under the Advance menu in iTunes while selecting the podcast. It converts the podcast to a new AAC file without chapters, and it plays fine on my second gen iPod. But now my library has 2 copies of each podcast, one for iTunes, one for iPod. Anyone else have any luck with the 10GB iPod? I guess it doesn't like the new podcasts with chapters.

  • Keeping Podcasts and not letting iTunes update and delete them

    I am subscribed to the Ricky Gervais podcast, however have only had a chance to listen to episode 1, although I have 1-4 on my iPod.
    He has published 7 episodes, 4-7 are currently on iTunes.
    So I had 1-4 on my computer, and hit update, and the computer deleted 1-3 and kept 4-7.
    So at this point I am afraid to plug my iPod into the computer as it might delete the 2 episode I have not listened to. How can I keep all 7 episodes??
    Thanks!

    You can also right click/ctrl click the podcast and select "Do not auto delete if you only want to keep one podcast.

  • Audiobooks & Podcasts settings

    Hi All
    I've just updated to iTunes 7.0.2. Does anyone know how you stop iTunes from recognising certain files as audiobooks or podcasts? I like having my podcasts and audiobooks displayed in my main library alongside my music, but the new version iTunes won't let me do this. It used to do this in the old version of iTunes. is it something to do with changing a setting on the podcast files so itunes thinks they are music files, and doesn't store them separately?
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    I did try looking at the genre, but to no avail, as they're all set to blank.
    I'm trying to put all my episodes of the Ricky Gervais podcast into one place, but anything I picked up via subscription to a podcast is only visible via "Podcasts", stuff I bought off Audible is only visible via "Audiobooks", and the mp3's of the podcast I downloaded directly, I can see in my music library as I'd like!

  • Why is it only picking up 3 out of 12 podcasts ?

    I have...and previously had all 12 episodes of Ricky Gervais podcasts. Now only 3 show on the iPod and all 12 show in my iTunes library.
    All the info on the episodes is the same ( apart from the episode number ) so I haven't a clue what 1.2 update has done.
    Also, it crashes if it satys plugged in and I try to sync a second time, iTunes says it cannot find the iPod.
    Anyone xperienced this ?

    can you inlcude a screenshot or two (mock up some date if necessary) so we can see the table and chart you are talking about. It could be a formatting issue, or something else that someone here might see.
    Thanks

  • Some video podcasts not syncing, why?

    i haven't been able to sync (or even watch in itunes) some video podcasts, specifically several episodes of the ricky gervais podcast, and all 3 of his "podfather" podcasts.
    i can see them listed in my itunes library, but when i try to sync them to my ipod... nothing. they don't show up.
    another issue is when i try to watch an episode of the podfather within itunes, i just get a still image of the chapter while the audio plays.
    why can i not get these things to sync to my ipod???

    Don't know about the iTunes playing issue. Perhaps there is a problem with the podcast.
    As far as syncing them to the iPod, with the iPod connected to iTunes and selected in DEVICES, click on the tab for PODCASTS (in the main window where the tabs begin with SUMMARY). Make sure you're set to sync all.

  • Change song to podcast?

    I have three tracks which were downloaded from Guardian Unlimited (the ricky gervais/steve merchant podfather episodes) however they are just in my Music list.
    Is there a way i can change them to Podcasts? I would like to do this ideally so that they don't show up in the "Music" folder on my Ipod classic, and i could have them with the other Ricky gervais podcasts IN the podcast section on my ipod.
    thanks

    See this -> Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.1
    "This script will re-add the files of the selected tracks to iTunes as if they were a Podcast subscription. The files will then appear in the Podcasts playlist and "behave" as though they are a group of Podcast episodes. Such a Podcast can be set to automatically be copied to iPod and appear in the Podcasts category."

  • Podcast Problem 4G Ipod (Desperate)

    I know the Ricky Gervais podcast problem has been raised and that updating my firmware may help.
    But how do you update when your ipod is in a coma?
    Mine does not show in itunes, does not show charging when the charger is plugged in and doesn't respond to reset.
    Anybody have any solutions?
    Pentium 4   Windows XP  

    Managed to start it eventually after an hour on mains charge (no battery icon showing) with a "menu and select" reset.
    Hope this is useful for someone!

  • Nano and Podcasts

    My manual says I can download podcasts but they do not show up anywhere on the ipod after sync.
    Can ipod nanos even do podcasts with or without video?
    I have checked everything I can find on syncing manually and automatic and I do not see the podcasts.

    I'm having the same problem.
    Have downloaded a podcast from iTunes, the Ricky Gervais podcast which I am sure is only an audio podcast, synced the iPod and there is nothing showing up in the Podcast list on the iPod. Is showing up in iTunes as being on the iPod but can't get it to show so I can listen.
    Any help appreciated before I go mad.
