I can't get my NPR podcasts to update, although I have subscribed for years. If I hit Refresh, nothing happens. If I go to the Store and subscribe, nothing happens, although I can subscribe to other podcasts.
I'm having real problems tonight refreshing podcasts. When I click on the icon on the podcast page to update all the podcast, the icon spins a little but then nothing happens. Even if you go to a single podcast and right click refresh podcast again nothing happens. Usually each one would refresh itself for a new show. I've tried this on my Imac and Macbook pro and the same problem. But if I log out of my account it does refresh. Itunes for me tonight has been very odd. Â
I just ran Software Update and it came up with an update for iTunes and an OS update (10.7?). I installed both, but now all my iTunes videos and Podcasts are truncated. i.e. the top of the video/podcast is blacked out about 1/3 of the way down the iTunes screen. Have also had an import/burning issue with previous version iTunes.

I opened iTunes and all my music, apps, and podcasts were not listed. I plugged in my iPhone 4 and still nothing. I logged out and back in still nothing.
I started iTunes this evening and as it opened a "thermometer"-type dialog appeared that said something about "converting" and "xml". (I didn't pay much attention as I was doing something else while it opened.) Once it opened, iTunes started going through all my music resetting volume. By this time I knew something was not normal. Then I noticed that, while my music appeared to be there, none of my Apps are, nor are any of the podcasts I had subscribed to. I had just synced my iPhone this a.m. with no discernible problem. I had deleted some duplicate episodes of one podcast (which are still in my trash), but that was the only thing that I had done out of the ordinary. Can anyone tell me:
1) What happened (and how do I prevent it from happening again)? 2) How do I get my apps and my podcasts back? 3) If I have to restore from my latest Time Machine backup (which is more than 10 days old, I'm afraid), how would I do that
Something is blocking my computer from downloading podcasts. I have NetBarrier and Little Snitch installed but disabling both of them didn't help. When I try to download a podcast in iTunes, I get an exclamation point next to the podcast and nothing downloads. I tried this with several podcasts and none will download. I can download the podcasts onto my iPad so the problem is with something on my MacBook that is blocking iTunes podcasts. The App Store is working fine in iTunes and I could download apps to the MacBook. The problem seems to be only with the podcasts. I'm using the latest versions of Lion and iTunes. I checked the link to my iTunes library (on a separate partition) and that is working fine.
I noticed there was an issue with the last update (11.2.1) where podcasts were unexpectedly downloading. The new update (11.2.2) states that it "fixes a problem where certain podcast episodes may download unexpectedly after upgrading". However since installing the new update it has not seemed to have solved the problem. As soon as Itunes opened up again once the update was complete about 7 podcasts were downloading???

On iTunes, all of my podcasts have become unsubscribed--and I can't figure out how to subscribe again. Nothing happens when I hit the subscribe button; when I right-click on the podcast and choose "subscribe" from the menu; or even when I go to the iTunes store and hit subscribe?Â
I think the issue may have resulted from when my iPhone Podcast app was synced, but I've since turned off syncing across products.
I subscribe to various podcasts like NBC Nightly News, Geekbrief, etc. which have a daily show. I have podcasts setup to only keep the 3 newest episodes and auto delete the rest. Today however, I found a bunch of episodes dating back months which were never auto deleted but didn't show up in my podcasts menu. I had over 6 gigs of old episodes! I even still had the folder of episodes from podcasts I had long unsubscribed to and deleted from the podcasts window of iTunes. Does anyone know if this is an iTunes bug or am I doing something wrong?
Whenever I press sync in iTunes, it starts doing all sorts of things like backing up the ipod touch, downloading the applications which takes forever. Is there a way just to sync the podcasts? I have gone through all the various settings and deselected everything that might be causing this.
I don't know why many have used ml_ipod with winamp in the past but I had a good thing going. But unfortunately Apple seems to have broken the support with the latest firmware.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 9.1.1. After plugin in my iPhone I realized that some weird stuff was going on. I.E., iTunes asked me if I wanted to transfer all my iPhone purchases back to iTunes (I never buy iPhone Apps outside iTunes). After letting it SYNC again (iTunes copied all iPhone APPs back to iTunes) I noticed that my iTunes' podcast list was empty. Further investigation in showing me that files are there (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts) but they are not showing in iTunes. I get a screen offering to show me some podcast videos & tutorials).
So, my question is:
1. Is there a way to rebuild iTunes database to see if that fixes the issue? 2. If #1 is not possible. How can I import my podcast list back.
when downloading a podcast from within iTunes, I don't get the cover art in iTunes (when viewing in Cover Flow, for example). When I download on my iPad and iPhone, the cover comes up fine.
This is happening on both of my system, Mac Pro and MacBook Pro both early 2008.
I can't use iTunes 10 to delete podcasts from my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1) when it is hooked up to my Macbook Air (OS 10.6.8).The edit menu shows the Delete command greyed out, and using the backspace key has no effect. I know I can delete individual podcasts on the iPhone itself by swiping sideways. I don't want to do that - I want to delete multiple podcasts from the iPhone at once using iTunes. This has been possible with previous versions of iTunes and an iPod, for example. Not sure why it's not working with the iPhone 4S. Wonder if I'm missing something obvious?
I have 100+ podcasts that have d/l as part of subscription but I only want to hear a few. Is there a way to mark them all heard or played en masse or do I have to go through each title individually?

I am beyond frustrated right now. So far my transition to iPhone, iPad, and OS X has been really pleasant and convenient. This is just so beyond stupid though. Here is what I would like to happen:
I download podcasts on my phone while on the road, and I listen to them and delete them at my discretion. When I sync my phone to my computer, iTunes doesn't download any of the podcasts from my phone to the comptuer, nor does it delete them off my phone. That's ALL I want to happen.
Instead, I download podcasts on my phone, listen and delete them at my discretion, and that works fine. But when I sync to my computer, it is just an exercise in frustration. It downloads the podcasts from my phone to my computer/iTunes, even though I have gone through every setting to make sure "sync podcasts" is off. I do not want the files transferred to my limited desktop space. Furthermore, it sometimes decides to just delete the podcast off my phone entirely. I like to leave old podcasts on to re-listen to sometimes.Â
The new Podcasts App doesn't seem to have playlist support. Just sent Apple feedback on this. Hope Playlists aren't being dropped like that have been for Video podcasts.
The most recent iTunes update eliminated the refresh button in the podcast windows. In settings, I can set it to refresh every hour. But I want to do it manually immediately. How is that done?
A week ago iTunes just stopped downloading any podcast that I am subscribed to. If I go to the podcast section of the iTunes Store, find a podcast that I am already subscribed to and click the download an episode, everything works fine. It's just that iTunes refuses to refresh any podcasts. This is not iTunes saying that I haven't listened to a podcast in a while would I like to resume; this is I select a podcast, ask it to refresh and nothing happens. Same if I ask iTunes to refresh all podcasts.

Whenever I try to update my podcasts, I get the spinning beach ball, iTunes stops responding. All other aspects of iTunes work flawlessly. I've called support numerous times - no solution. Only thing that is strange is the kernel tasks go sky high...and other programs stop running due to running out of memory.Â
I was just checking out podcasts in the iTunes store now and noticed that they are all grayed out, and that I can't subscribe to any.
I figure this has to do with the fact that I must have removed podcasts from my sidebar at some point.
So I go into preferences to find all of the checkboxes, but podcasts is greyed out there too Therefore I am unable to check it. The only other greyed out option is genius but I'm ok with that
I am now dual booting with win7, and want to setup iTunes with win7. All my podcasts are on C drive and win7 is on D drive, just installed iTunes on D can I import my podcasts from the C drive some how?
I just got an iPod Touch (having used an iPod Classic for a few years), and noticed that for Enhanced Podcasts have, in addition to the images/links,the ability to skip between sections very easily without having to FF/Rew and hope for the best.
Is this functionality broken/no longer in itunes? I found an apple support article (URL) that says an icon should appear that lists all the sections, but it doesn't appear for me.
I subscribe some podcast. Missing some episode I downloaded them manually. How to make them appear in PODCASTS Folder and not in MUSIC Folder (iTunes 10.6.1/Lion 10.7.3)?
The video podcasts in the playlist open but dont (and cant) play, although when I drag the progress slider left to right it fast forwards. As I drag and I can see whats the video content. I am on 10.6.3 latest Itunes on Snow Leopard, having fell back to Snow Leopard from Lion yesterday.
These podcasts are mp4 - and VLC plays them perfectly, i have d/loaded Xiph, flip4mac, Mplayer X. Lame and these made no difference. I was watching these exact same files on the exact same machine yesterday. But under LION. the files aren't corrupt. Quicktime wont play them either. Quicktime is ticked to work in 32 bit mode.
Just migrated to a new iMac via migration assistant. All settings appear correct but as it attempts to download the latest episode of a podcast I subscribe to I get an error message stating "you do not have sufficient privileges."Is this "reauthorizing" the new computer?
Updated to 12.0.1 overnight and now when I try to download podcasts, and fail, I get repeated error messages: 3105. My internet connection is fine.Itunes downloads worked fine yesterday before the latest downloadI've quit Itunes: no improvementI've shutdown the computer and restarted: no improvement. Same error message. OSX v 10.9.5Processor: 2.2Ghz. Intel core i7; memory 8GB
