Unable to download the Podcasts app

Hello,
I have just upgraded to iPhone 6 and having restored it from my iPhone 4S, the Podcasts app can not be downloaded. It is stuck on the Waiting status and occasionally a warning message pops up to notify me that it can not be downloaded successfully (screenshots below). Could you please help me reslove it?
Many thanks in advance,
Adriana

Hi neocec!
I have a couple of suggestions for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue. First, you should try to reset the iOS device by following these instructions:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still experiencing issues after attempting that troubleshooting step, you will want to restore your iOS device according to these instructions:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Hi guys !!  I have an iPhone 3GS and there is something wrong. I am trying to download the podcasts app and it says it requires iOS 7 or later. I'm really going mad and I can't download any kind of music or ringtone. Is there any easy solution.

    Hello guys !! I have an iPhone 3GS, it's on iOS 6.1.3 but I'm unable to download the podcasts app because it says it requires iOS 7 or later.because of this I cannot download any type of music or ringtone.apple has done very bad as they r now only dealing with the latest and forgot about the previous customers. Any easy solution??

    It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

    Go to the app store and enter podcasts app in the search field. Then tap the app to download. The app says It requires IOS 7. If you have a iPad 1 hopefully a older version is offered.

  • Has anyone else been unable to download the netflix app on ipad 2?

    has anyone else been unable to download the netflix app on ipad 2?

    I have this problem too. I've had it downloaded previously on my 1st Gen iPad, so it even shows up on my "Purchased Items" list, but no icon showing any option at all ie, Download, Purchase, Open.
    Is it because the current version is not compatible with the iPad 2's latest iOS? If that is the case, isn't the App store supposed to serve the last working version??

  • How can How can I download the Podcasts app to my ipod touch

    I have a iPod Touch with iOS 6.1.3.  The podcast app was not working so I deleted it.  I tried to download/reinstall from iTunes on my PC but it gives an error saying it "requires a newer version of iPod software" (odd since the app was on the device before with the same iOS version).  I also tried going to the iTunes on the device but can't find the app there to down it and the iTunes app keeps crashing.
    Is there a version of the Podcast app that works on an iPod Touch?  If so, how can I get it downloaded?

    I am having the same issue and it is very aggravating. The only thing I use my Itouch for is podcast and now it is useless, so frustrated at the moment.

  • HT1766 how can i restart my disabled iphone if i am unable to download the itunes app

    I am trying to unlock my disabled iphone but am not able to download the itunes app in this desktop... Is there any other way to unlock it?

    You need to restore it with iTunes on a computer.

  • I realize I must be the last person looking for THE PODCAST APP for my new iPod touch, but after looking 4 times, I have given up thinking that app must be long retired now...thanks to anyone who could help a late-bloomer.

    I realize I might be one of the last first-time buyers of an iPod Touch (latest version) but I cannot find the PODCAST APP for it anywhere! After wasting a total of an hour on 4 separate occasions today, I've given up, thinking perhaps I AM the last person who would need this app & it's 'retired'. Even typing in PODCAST APP & hitting the magnifier 10X's did NOTHING but hurt my finger tip. Could some nice person please help CONFUSED & CRAZED in CONNECTICUT? Thank you in advance!  Oh, one more question- How does 'one' get their older iPod players like the BOSE & 2 other good ones I have, WITH the Bluetooth music receivers I bought already on them, to actually DO what its designed to? Now add clueless, to my previous sign-off & not BORN in 1995! But, hey, I'm trying! ; )

    You can connect the iPod to a computer and download the Podcast app using iTunes >  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029?mt=8
    Or, on your iPod, tap the App Store then type in Podcast then download the app. (It has the same purple icon as the one at the iTunes Store on a computer).
    Only iPods with Bluetooth capability can, "pair" with Bluetooth BOSE devices.
    On an iPod touch, tap Settings > Bluetooth.

  • Why do i have to use the podcast app in iOS6 since it doesn't work correctly

    I upgraded to iOS 6 and now you cant download podcasts through the itunes app... Now you have to download the podcast app and use that instead, but that wont work correctly for me... keeps hanging and not downloading the actual podcast. Does anyone know a way to get podcasts in iOS 6 without using this app?

    Separating out a podcast app is a step backward. From a marketing perspective, podcasts are seen as something independent from music and television. But from a functionality POV, it just makes it harder to manage your audio on your iPhone.
    Consumer Technology's objective has always been to make one device do more things, i.e. combine a phone into a music player. This step is akin to taking the ability to text and spinning it off onto a gadget you attach to your key-ring.
    It's still there, but annoying to dig out when you want to use it.

  • Some subscribers are unable to download my podcast in the last 2 weeks. How do I fix this?

    I host a podcast and an issue is happening to my listeners (and me) in iTunes for the last two weeks. I am using a Mac and also a Windows computer with the latest version of iTunes. I have no problem downloading the podcast on my iPhone using Downcast as my podcast client (I don't like Apple's Podcast app).
    I have listeners contacting me asking why this is happening and don't know how to fix it.
    I have further details of the issue:
    The file starts to download in iTunes and then stops. The podcast is listed in the queue and it shows it is in the cloud. There is a little exclamation point next to the new episodes.  When I try to select download it starts and then stops downloading, still showing the exclamation point instead of the blue dot.  I can start to stream the podcast but it stops 3 minutes into the podcast. I hit play again and it picks up where I left off but only plays another minute and a half. This stopping and having to hit play again continues through the rest of the podcast.
    I haven't changed anything in the way I code the mp3's in the past two episodes, so unless Apple has changed policy or restricted new podcasts on the way they are coded, I don't know what to think. Bitrate 32kbps and sample rate 12,000kHz Mono.
    I just did some tests on a Windows 8.1 machine using iTunes 11.1.2.32 and it is not downloading any shows from the last 12 weeks (Aug, 22, 2013 was the last successful d/l).
    The podcast I host is Amateur Radio Newsline and the subscribe url ishttp://www.arnewsline.org/news/rss.xml
    More info...
    Not all podcast subscriptions are experiencing this issue, some download still without a problem.
    I have turned off automatic syncing.
    I tried various settings on the way it downloads, how many episodes it keeps and it changed nothing. Still having the issue.
    This is happening in both Windows and Mac versions of the software.

    I subscribed to your feed and was unable to download episodes - I tried several including the latest. The error message was that the download was interrupted.
    I was able to download the latest episode in a browser, and to play it in Safari. Evidently your server is reacting badly to requests from the iTunes application; I have no idea why this should be the case and can only refer you to the people running your server.

  • In the Podcasts app, is there any way to remove the list of recent podcasts that can be downloaded?

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering whether there's any way to remove all those recent podcasts (either unplayed or only partially played) listed as downloadable from the Podcasts app on the iPhone. If I'd wanted all these additional episodes on the phone, I would have put them there. I don't want them there, yet the app insists upon larding up my podcast lists with these useless episodes. Nor do I want to mark them all as "played." There's a reason some of them are only partially played and others not at all. I prefer to keep them marked that way in my master list. But I do not want them on the iPhone.
    I've tried searching online, but am not coming up with a solution. Do I have to go to some third-party app to have cleaner, tidier, and smaller lists? When I intend to carry around only three or four episodes for a given podcast, it is really REALLY annoying to have to pick through a list of forty-some-odd offerings to find the ones I want.
    I sure am hoping some techie-inclined soul has a solution for me.

    we are working on server to server APIs that will allow you to fetch data (items) from node.
    when that is available you'll be able to get the user list from the UserManager node.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Every time I download a new app or update an old one it doesn't work. It gives an error message saying it is unable to download the application. I have 2 choices. Retry or done. Retry doesn't work so I press done. What can I do to fix this?

    Try using Google's DNS instead of the one your IPS is providing.
    - To change on the iPod go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
    - For the computer see:
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    - Did anything happen to your router right before this started? Maybe the router is blocking the port used.
