This is odd. Touch refuses to download certain podcasts.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and for some reason, my new iPod Touch down loads them out of order, but even worst, doesn't download certain episodes and now is even refusing to to download a whole podcast. (This last part is just with one podcast and just started today. I was able to listen to it last night but it's disappeared off the Touch overnight.)
I've tried both "Sync only checked songs and videos" and "Manually manage music and videos" as well as the Restore option. Still the same thing.
The Free Space has run from .25 to 2 GB so I can't see this as being a problem.
This is really frustrating. What does Apple have against the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer??? Or the The History of Rome? Or Skeptoid? Or.....Grrrrr.
As always, all advice greatly appreciated.

If you select your iPod in the iTunes 'Devices' section, and go to the 'Podcasts' tab, there is an option to set what is synced between iTunes and your iPod. Can you confirm this setting is set to sync all podcasts, or at least the conditions set mean the podcasts in question will be copied?
Cheers.

    Am suddenly getting error code 3250 when trying to download certain podcasts...not all, just some. How can I fix? Help.

    I am getting the same error, and have been, since the last iTunes update.     Driving me crazy, as some podcasts download without issue, others won't download at all, and get the 3250 error code.

  • Can't download certain podcasts in iTunes app... any ideas why not?

    Hi all,
    For the most part, I have no problem finding podcasts in the iTunes app on my iPad, and downloading podcasts directly. However, a handful of podcasts refuse to let me do so, and I can't figure out why. I tap on the "free" icon, and nothing happens... it doesn't change to "download" or anything.
    Can someone else verify this, and maybe have an idea what the problem is? Thanks!
    A couple of the trouble podcasts:
    The Narrow Path Daily Radio Program
    Grace to You: Radio Broadcast
    -Ryan Satterfield

    I am having the exact same issue except I am using Win 8.1 64 bit. Same symptoms as you described, except if I close iTunes with CD in drive and reopen, it recognizes the CD. If I eject CD and insert another one it is not recognized. I have tried all the diagnostics on Apple support site and nothing has worked. All pc divers current and optical drive is working normally.

  • ITunes refusing to download a podcast episode

    I subscribe to four podcasts and I like to download all episodes and keep them to listen to them whenever I want to.
    But I am having an issue with an episode of one of my podcasts.
    As one can see in the print screen below, the episode 397 of the podcast is not downloaded, and even if I try clicking the cloud button or right-clicking the episode and choosing "download episode", it doesn't download.
    I have the lastest version of iTunes, my OS is Win 7 x64 updated.
    My podcasts aren't syncing with my iDevices because of the iCloud issues that obliviate all download podcasts that aren't synced.
    Thnak you for any help!

    In my experience;
    an episode of a podcast may come from one server to a portable device, and a different server to a desktop. So if I'm correct, that could mean that only the desktop version is not working.
    when I have seen an exclamation mark next the Podcast header, clicking on the exclamation mark displays a message saying "the Podcast could not be found on the server", so that is why I suspect that in this situation, it means the episode cannot be located.
    iTunes (Apple) does not host Podcasts. The Store simply lists them. If you choose to download an episode of a particular Podcast, iTunes asks the host server to download the episode directly to your Library. It does not go through the iTunes Store.
    contacting the Podcast's producers is (in my opinion) the second best method of getting the issue resolved.
    the best method for getting the issue resolved (because it involves no effort at all on your part) is do nothing, and wait until someone else sorts out the issue.

  • Having trouble download certain podcasts

    I am trying to download "The Adam Carolla Podcast" but when i click download a little orange circle appears and the downloads section pops up for a split second and then stops without download a single kb. I have no problems downloading any other podcasts or apps, just this one. Can someone please help me?

    If you look in your iTunes Library (under Podcasts) does the show appear, but with an exclamation mark beside it? If so, click the exclamation mark for an explanation of the error.
    One thing though, I had a look at this Podcast in the iTunes Store - every episode is marked "explicit" and even one of the customer reviews mentions the profanities. Does your iTunes have the *Parental Control* set to Disable/Podcasts? You can check for this in your iTunes, go to Edit/Preferences and click on the *Parental Control* tab. Look at the *Disable: Podacsts,* is there a tick in the box? If so, that's the problem.
    You don't mention your age, (and why should you ) but if you are a minor and your parent has set this +and turned on the lock to prevent further changes+ there's probably not much you can do.

    P.S. If you are in you 50s however, I guess you could argue that you're old enough to make your own decisions!

  • Certain podcasts won't download err=3259

    itunes 8, now 8.01 refuses to download certain larger podcasts. There is no firewall enabled, no norton/antivirus software, and yes, i have checked all of the other relevant information on the discussion boards and tried those that seemed applicable.
    anyone have any suggestions? thanks in advance

    The same problem is happening to me too. I can't download the video podcasts of the Rachel Maddow Show. I keep getting the message: Internal Server Error. Please check the URl or something like that. When i try to play or download it through apple tv, i get the message "This movie cannot be played". When i try to do the same through my iphone, i get basically the same message. It's been this way since the Christmas holidays and its getting very very irritating. I've been watching the SHow for a while now with no problems whatsoever. But now...I can watch every other podcast except this one. What on earth is going on???

  • Certain podcasts won't download.

    I'm having problems downloading certain podcasts to my itunes. So work and other don't. When it doesn't work it's giving me the "err=-3259" , but its not a firewall issue because my computer is open to sharing music as it is. I am running off the most recent version of itunes and i have also tried unsubscribing from the podcasts and resubscribing.
    Help please....

  • Itunes continues to download old podcasts i have played

    With this latest update, iTunes continues to download old podcasts I have already played and deleted.
    Is this an iTunes problem or is there a setting a missed with the update?
    Thanks,

    No. Those purchases/downloads were made with her Apple ID and are permanently linked to it. To download those updates you will need her credentials regardless of which Apple ID is signed into iTunes.

  • When alot of my emails come through to my iPad there is a message "This message is only partially downloaded, there is then a box to touch that says download remaining --kb

    When alot of my emails come through to my iPad there is a message "This message is only partially downloaded, there is then a box to touch that says download remaining --kb

    That's normal. The iPad Mail only completely downloads emails which are less than a certain size. Presumably the idea is to conserve network resources.

  • My ipod touch has stopped downloading new music (purchased via internet or from a CD) from iTunes when I sync it, how do I fix this?

    I have a 32 GB ipod touch with plenty of space on it still, but when I sync it to iTunes, any music I've recently added will not download to the iPod.  It was working fine until a month ago, but now even though the new songs are visible on iTunes in the "On this iPod page" but they show up as not downloaded.  I've run a diagnostic test on my iPod but it said everything was working fine.  Is there a way to fix this?  I have purchased and downloaded music from cds and all of a sudden I can't add them to the library on my device.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this?

    Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg.  Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this from Apple?  The Verizon FIOS video website was churning on the error message, "Checking device registration status."  It got stuck in a loop. Verizon tech support never came on. Was on terminal "Hold."  Any recommendations?

    Never download anything from CNET. The site is untrustworthy and is known to distribute Windows spyware intentionally.

  • I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it xtill says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT201272 This method is exactly how I'm trying to get my music on my new iPod touch, it starts downloading but then stop and says unable to download at this time. What the **** is going on ?

    This method is exactly how I'm trying to get my music on my new iPod touch, it starts downloading but then stop and says unable to download at this time. What the **** is going on ?

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • My grandad has a 1st edition iPad and when he tries to download certain apps it says he needs at least iOS 5? Shouldn't this be updated automatically? Or can this be updated another way? I haven't been to see his iPad so he may not be looking properly???

    My grandad has a 1st edition iPad and when he tries to download certain apps it says he needs at least iOS 5? Shouldn't this be updated automatically? Or can this be updated another way? I haven't been to see his iPad so he may not be looking properly??? Any helpers???

    The iOS version is not updated automatically, though if he connects it to his computer's iTunes (if it's a recent enough version) he should be prompted as to whether he wants to update.
    He should connect the iPad to his computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to his computer via File > Transfer Purchases. He may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. He can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    He can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    His iPad should update to iOS 5.1.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for the iPad 1, it doesn't support iOS 6).
