Trouble downloading all Podcasts

Hello,
I just subscribed to a free Podcast series for my son and iTunes only downloaded the last episode. I would like to download all previous episodes. I know that there was a "Download All" in previous versions of iTunes but don't find it now. I really don't want to have to click the download button for all 122 episodes. Does anyone know how to do this?
My System:
Mac Mini
OS X 10.8.2
iTunes 11.0.1 (12)
Podcast Screenshot:
BTW, why are some episodes grayed out and others black? It doesn't have anything to to with whether I've downloaded them or watched them.

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the prompt answer. It worked!
Here is the screenshot again
I had missed the list option somehow.
Here is the URL of one of the grayed out ones:
http://podcast.wdr.de/kopfball.xml
As you can see, it's German so I don't know if you even have access to it.
All were black at first. I the clicked Uncheck selection. All were then gray. I unsubscribed and re-subscribed and then it was like in the screenshot. This is not a problem because we can download and play all. I was just curious.
Again, this solved my question. Thanks a bunch.
Russell

Download all podcasts impossible

There used to be a little arrow button to download all podcasts and all podcasts available for download used to show in the podcast list. Both are now gone. I can not see any old podcasts and as such can not download anything but the latest. Any thoughts? Maybe I need to reinstall iTunes. I'm on a Mavericks Mac.

On iTunes 11.3 there is a popup menu at the bottom of the list view called 'Show':
Change that to see the 'feed' to see episodes that are not downloaded (has a 'cloud + arrow' icon).
If you haven't updated iTunes recently check your version in the about menu. I think this may have been a recent change (or I just overlooked it).
As for 'download all', I think you either have to select the episodes then Right click > Save Episodes. Or you can change the podcast settings to remove the episode limit. This seems to need to be done in 'My Podcasts' view via the 'gear' menu at the top.
Needless to say it's confusing to describe, but a bit easier to use once you dig into all the places to set options.

Trouble downloading video podcast

anybody else having trouble downloading video podcasts of the RNC? The DNC podcasts are downloading fine, but the RNC are not! anybody know why this is?

Marcia...
I downloaded your files and I couldn't get them to play either. iTunes won't play them and Quicktime just says it's a file that quicktime doesn't understand. Both files will have to be converted to ipod/itunes compatibility formats and reloaded to your server before they can be viewed.
There are a list of tech specs available here http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html
but if you're like me you want the easy solution.
iSquint is an easy shareware solution to convert files to ipod ready format that can then be loaded to the ITMS. It's found at http://www.isquint.org/
it's a great program, I use it weekly for my own church.
Hope this helps.

There's an app for downloading all podcasts?

Like most of you, I have subscribed to many podcasts. I have a USB charger so in most cases, the only reason I connect my iPod Touch to my PC is to update the podcasts in the iPod Touch. This is really tedious. As you know, we can't (normally) synchronize an iPod Touch with more than 1 PC. So if I'm not at home I have no way to update all podcasts at once. I have to manually download each single episode.
Isn't there any application that can updates every podcasts at once through iPod Touch's wireless Internet connection, without connecting to a PC? No, I don't want an application that downloads podcasts but I have to use that application to listen to them. I want an application that updates the podcasts I have subscribed in the Music menu.
Apple says that's app for just everything.. I can't believe it if there isn't any application that this simple task, if Apple doesn't allow third party applications to access users' podcast information. I had a PSP, and it of course had a menu that let me update every podcasts at once. It even had a reservation feature that updates all podcasts at a designated time. I just set the time, and forgot about updating. It just powered on itself, downloaded all podcasts, then put itself into sleep mode. iPod Touch can't do this?

The only apps I've found are not true T9 but rather multi tap ABC. I cannot find a true keypad texting app with iTap for the life of me. Can you guide me to one? Any help would be appreciated.

I have restored my Ipad 2 back to the original settings, but now I am having trouble downloading all of my apps and updating them.

I have restored my Ipad 2 back to the original settings, but now I am having trouble downloading all of my apps and updating them. However, if I am connected to my laptop; I can copy the apps back onto my Ipad, but that doesn't solve the update problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you have enabled iCloud and PhotoStream, you may be able to find them there.

How can I download all podcast episodes in Itunes 11.1.3?

When I subscribe to a podcast, only the first episode downloads (in spite of my default settings, etc.). Now I have to manually click on each little "cloud/arrow"
icon and download them individually. Before apple developers took stupid pills and created this latest version of Itunes (that everyone hates), I could easily download all episodes at the click of one button (I mean DOWNLOAD, not just LIST all episodes, which is all it will do now when you request all episodes).

It seems to work for me. Select the entire podcast, or specific episodes from a podcast or podcasts. Right-click on the selected items and choose New Playlist from Selection.
iTunes 11.x may hide the sidebar (along the left side of window). It looks and works differently from earlier versions (before iTunes 11), when the sidebar is hidden. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. With the sidebar visible, it works (mostly) like it did in previous versions.

ITunes crashing when attempting to "download all" podcasts

Operating System: Windows 8.1 Professional 64
Processor: Intel Core i7-3820 3.6GHz
Installed Memory; 16GB
Hard drive: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 750GB (529 GB free)
Software version: iTunes 12.1.14 64-bit
As iTunes default setting appears to be to deleting all played episodes, I've been forced to re-download available episodes of the podcasts to which I subscribe. The issue, however, is that iTunes is now literally dying every time I attempt to "Download All", regardless of how many episodes need to be retrieved.
I don't remember having this issue prior to the newest release of iTunes, but I don't remember it being set to delete indiscriminately, either.
If there's a current workaround, I'm amenable to using it, but I really wish Apple would quick tinkering with this to make it shinier for the dumb people...

Hey there canidomini,
If your iTunes application is still quitting unexpectedly, I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article about those kinds of issues, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Download ALL podcast epidsodes

iTunes is so limiting. Why can't we simply choose to "download all" episodes. It is so unbelievably dumb to have to download episodes one-by-one, and to be careful that iTunes doesn't miss any clicks because it is so slow in this process.

Yes I had this problem with podcasts, accidentally discovered the doubleclicking to download, I noticed that it happened when a program downloaded more than one episode at the same time....I dont know of any other way to download other than manually.

Nee help downloading all podcasts in I tunes 11 on Widows 7

Hi all running a Dell Inspirion with the OS of Win 7 home premium 64 bit. I recently upgraded to I tunes 11. Many people seem to be having issues with podcasts, I am hoping someone can help me out. I want to download all episodes for a podcast. There was an option in a previous version of I tunes to "Download all" I tried reverting back to version 10.5 but it soul not read my music library. I have tried going into list mode in the podcast section and selecting the down arrow next to the podcast but that did not work. Does anyone know in I Tunes 11 if there's this feature to download all episodes of a podcast? If so how do I do that? Any help would be appreciated. I anyone from Apple is reading this please take note there area lo of frustrated users out there.

I have Windows 8.1 64. Upgraded my iphone 5 to 7.1 version. My laptop did not recognize the iphone. After a couple of hours of tring to figure out why the laptop and iphone weren't syncing, these are the steps I followed. Most are pieced together from suggestion on various websites. Don't know if all steps are necessary, but it's what I did and it worked.
1) I did this first: Uninstall and reinstall itunes.
2) Reboot computer and iphone (turn off the on again)
3) Go to control panel and "repair" all apple apps.
4) Go to "Device Manager" on computer (go to left bottom corner and right click, locate Device Manger from list or you can use the Search..
4a) Go to Universial Serial Bus Controllers and look for "Apple Mobile Sevice USB Driver (Before "repairing" the apple apps, this did not appear on my laptop).
4b) Right-click the Apple iPhone in Device Manager and select Update Drive.
4c) Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
4d) Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
4e) Click the "Have Disk button"
4f) At the "Install from Disk" click Browse button.
4g) Go to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and Click OK.
4h) Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps.
5) You should then see the "Apple Mobile Service USB Driver in the Device Manager now.
6) Open itunes and hopefully the iphone and Windows 8.1 laptop will sync (a dialogue box will appear on the iphone 5 asking you to "trust" the computer. Select Trust.)
7) If this doesn't work, try rebooting your computer and turning off your iphone and then turn it back on.
Good Luck. It shouldn't be this time-consuming.

TS3276 i am having trouble with my exchange emails. I use the latest exchange 2010 and am having trouble downloading all my emails on the macbook

I use a microdost exchange 2010 in my office. I just bought a macbook pro and try to syn my office mail. While it has been set up properlly and it has started downloading some of my older emails, it is taking very long and does not download all the mails especially the new ones. The ones it has downloaded take a long time to load and open.
I bought the laptop to use it on the go. What is the solution? Please help.
Thanks.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

Podcast app bug on ipad (w retina): for some reason it freezes, looks like it is trying to refresh but has stopped downloading all podcasts

Hi Everyone,
I'm using the latest ipad with retina display and love using the podcast app. Since last week the podcast app is acting strangely. It has stopped auto downloading the latest podcasts. It's not just one podcast but all of the ones I subscribe to. When I open the app it looks like it is refreshing with that little circle that keeps spinning but nothing happens - in fact the app freezes and it is hard to close. It freezes also when I try to delete podcasts. It frequently crashes too. I don't know what to do to help it work again. Any suggestions?

I haven't heard back regarding the problem I posted. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Trouble downloading all attachments from email

Hey There,
I am absolutely frustrated that I can not download any attachments from my yahoo email!
Recently, someone gained access to my computer and read private files. This lead me into a spin of security over haul. I activated all the security settings in the System Preferences (set a master password and ticked all the boxes), as well as tried to retrieve my files (which they deleted) using a demo version of Stellar Phoenix and Disk Warrior to no success.
But since I've done all of the above in the last few weeks, I can not download any attachments (word, pdf, jpg anything) from my yahoo email.
I click on the attachment icon to download. This then appears in the downloads box. It starts to load but then gives up at "9.3kb of ?". saying that it "cannot create the file". I click on the refresh button next to the details and it prepares the download, but ends up not being able to create the file.
Would this be a Safari problem or would it be due to the security settings that I have recently activated?
Please help me!

No luck unfortunately
I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

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!

Podcasts 1.1.2 trouble downloading some podcasts

I have several podcasts that are not downloaded -- they're marked with the down arrow. When I tap the arrow, nothing happens. The arrow doesn't turn to the 'circular' icon saying 'preparing to download'. Other podcasts download fine. What's up?

I never use SW Update... too flaky, and I like to make sure what complaints it has for a week or two before I get it for real.
(How many "automatic" things in your life ceased to function, yet one little manual switch or something could/would make it useful?)
I suspect the 26M B is what is called a Delta upgrade, just the changes from the last version of Safari, whereas the standalone bigger one is the whole kit 'n' kaboodle.
