Want to listen to podcasts as streamed. Not download them.

Hi gang,
When I subscribe to a podcast it seems the only way I can listen to episodes is if they are first downloaded to my computer. Can't find a way to play them immediately by just having them streamed.
When I search for a podcast in the iTunes store, I can select individual podcasts and they will play via a stream. That is the feature I am looking for with the podcasts I subscribe to.
BTW, I have been using GreatNews Rss Reader for quite some time. It allows streaming of subscribed podcasts and all the episodes that show in those subscriptions.
I've done a search but cannot find information specific on "only streaming" subscribed podcasts. Any help would be appreciated . . .
Thanks,
Peter

That is exactly correct. iTunes does not stream anything beyond the radio stations.

Those are previews, they aren't the whole thing

There is no information. Unless the podcast author offers it from their site, you are out of luck.

    How do you listen to podcasts that you have downloaded but isent you most recent podcast???

    You can double-click unto the podcast line and you'll listen/watch it. If the podcast isn't downloaded yet, it will be downloaded from this time.
    If you want to download again all the entries of a podcast (particularly useful when you have deleted some that you want to listen/watch again) : Open the little triangle at the lest of the podcast line with the alt key down. iTunes will show you all the entries for it from the first oine to the latest....

  • Elements 11 finds photos but says it can not download them

    Photoshop Elements 11 downloaded most of my photos, but there are 167 left that it has not.  It gave me a message that said it could not download them because either my battery was load or that the camera was not securely connected.  I tried changing the battery and check the connections, even used a different USB drive on my computer and still get the same message.  Now originally a program on my computer called Panasonic Fun Photo (or something like that) popped up when I started to download from the camera, and I tried to close it.  I had some message come up the second time I tried to download to Photoshop that there was a movie it was trying to download and got stuck at 4%.  There is no movie on the camera.  I went through all 406 pictures and can't figure out why this came up.  I uninstlled the Panasonic program because I thought it might be interfering, but still can not get the 167 pictures that Adobe Photoshop finds but says it can not download.  What do I do?

  • Podcast episodes will not download from podcast stream

    I have set up a podcast on my website to download sermons. I created the xml file which I tested in my feeds section of my browser. The xml file works perfectly there in that all the episodes are listed with thier respective audio files. If you click on the actual audio file it downloads the way that it should and plays. I copied the xml file location and went into Itunes and chose subdcribe to a pod cast. It asked for the url which I pasted the xml file location. Itunes displayed all of my episodes the way that it should. The problem then starts. When I click on an episode to download the audio file the episode name flashes for a second or 2 in the window on top and then nothing. The audio file will not download on any of the episodes. It lists them all but other then that I can't do anything with them. My xml file location is: http://www.stpaulsconway.org/stpaulssermons.xml What could I possibly be doing wrong?

    Glad to hear that you have solved your problem.
    May I suggest that if you have any further questions regarding Podcasts that you are producing, that you post the question in the Producing Podcasts community, where people with more specific knowledge will be sure to help you.

  • Photo stream not downloading / syncing to PCs consistently

    I am having trouble downloading / syncing photos to my PC via Photo Stream.  This used to work great, but now it appears that new photos are not either downloading at all or haphazardly to my two PCs (one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 8).
    I have 2 iPhones using the same iCloud account.  If I take a picture with either of those phones, the picture shows up on the other phone in the photo stream as expected.  However it is not downloading to my PCs consistently any more.  I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including turning photo streaming on and off from the iCloud control panel and also completely uninstalling and reinstalling iCloud from the PCs.  Still have the same results.  Older pictures are downloaded, but newer ones are not being reflected.
    This is getting very frustrating.  Any suggestions on how to fix?
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem. It seemed to be working fine until I upgraded to ios8.1 using my new Iphone6 now only some of the photos on my photostream are uploading to my PC.
    Help!

  • My Ipod nano 5th gen lost all of my podcasts and will not download anything from ITunes

    All my content on my Ipod nano 5th ed disappeared, and it will not download anything from ITunes.  I restoered original content. My operating system is up to date.  My capacity is 8 gigs.  What more should I do?

    The title says "iPod nano 5th gen" but your message says "iPod classic". There is a forum for the iPod classic, if that is what you have.

  • ITunes Finds New Podcasts But Doesn't Download Them

    I am subscribed to 14 various podcasts, all have been working fine for ages. Ever since I updated to 8.1, when I refresh my podcasts, iTunes recognizes that there are new episodes to download, but when it starts to download them it instantly stops and the symbol and "Get" appear on the episodes.
    When I use my ipod touch to manually search itunes store and update I can find the episodes fine and download there. When I plug my ipod back into my pc the episodes update to my computer fine.
    This is really annoying me now! It was working fine before!
    If anyone else is having this problem or has fixed it it would be great if you could help!

    I cannot honestly tell you if it should happen but I can tell that it also happened to me after experimenting with the restrictions setting two nights ago.
    In over 30 months of iPad ownership using two different iPads I never tried Restrictions before. I was trying to help someone sort through an issue so I enabled restrictions. After I turned them off, my apps were covering 8 screens on my iPad and all of my folder structure had been destroyed. I restored from a backup and that restored my folder structure.
    Should that happen ... I'm not sure .... Does it happen .... Apparently it does.

  • Why will my brand new iPod touch allow me to purchase songs but not download them?

    Can someone tell me why my new iPod touch is allowing me to buy songs but not downloading the songs currently being purchased?  The new songs actually show up on my iPad but not my iPod which is the device they were purchased on.

    Try configuring your iCloud sync settings for music across devices, also go to the iTunes app hit more, then purchased and then hit the download button

  • ITunes 11.0.1 podcasts: exclamation mark, not downloading

    Since updating iTunes to 11.0.1, I've noticed that when a podcast I follow becomes available, instead of downloading, there is an encircled exclamation mark/point to the left of that episode's title, and the download-arrow-button still appears to the right of the title. I do actually like to download the episodes so that I can have access them when I'm not online.
    In the past, that exclamation mark indicated that there was something wrong with the podcast feed information, but now when I double click / hit enter while selected / hit space-bar while selected, the podcast plays just fine.
    I am confused about whether I have in fact downloaded the podcast, whether the feed info is alright, and whether I'll be able to listen to it if I'm offline.

    I had this problem recently with the same symptoms as you. It also appeared to stream the podcast over the internet when I double-clicked it even though it didn't seem to be downloading. I eventually noticed that when I go to Preferences, there is no folder designated as the iTunes media library. This was weird because I don't know why that would have disappeared. Anyway, I pointed it at my media folder and everything started working again. I hope that works for you.

  • How does my family stream (not download) content using family sharing

    Hi,
    Our family previously used Home Sharing with an iTunes account on an iMac. We could pick up our family iPad and stream a movie from the iTunes shared library. How do I now do this with Family Sharing in ios8? - I can still stream like before as my apple id previously purchased all content, but not my other family members now. I don't want my 7 year old to have to wait hours while the movie they wanted to watch on the iPad downloads on to the device - I just want it to start streaming like it used to .... any help appreciated!
    Thanks

    As far as I know, family sharing should not affect home sharing and as long as Apple id is the same on ipad
    in settings - videos (for movies) settings music( for music)
    and on computer under home sharing - it should still work the same way.
    Apologize in advance if I am wrong, I do not use family sharing and reason for that I feel it is a step back, not forward.

  • I want PDF to open in the browser, not download. I can't find a setting to do this.

    Other browsers open a pdf on the web inside the browser, which I like.
    Firefox wants to download it, which I do not like.
    The settings do not seem to allow me this choice for pdf. Other file types work.

    Hello,
    Check your settings for PDF files in:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > Applications
    * For PDFs, set to "Preview in Firefox"
    Also, you are using an outdated version of Firefox (current version is 33.0.3), you can update by going to:
    * Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
    Or download a fresh copy at:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * (if you need a different localization) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

  • HT201317 Photos in My Photo Stream not downloading to PC anymore.

    Photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS devices are no longer downloading into the designated folder on my PC.  I tried turning off photostream in the control panel on my PC and tried changing the designated download folder, but it still isn't working,  Any thoughts????

    Don't know if it will help or not, but you might try going to Control Panel>Programs & Features>Uninstall, then right-click on "iCloud" and choose Repair, restart your PC and try photo stream again.
    Also confirm that the photos are appearing in the my photo stream album on your phone (which will confirm that they are being added to photo stream).
