Q: 'Get All' When Downloading Podcasts

Try clicking Pocasts on the left side of iTunes, then click the right facing disclosure triangle next to the title of the podcast so that is shows all of the episodes. If the option is available it should show a Get All.

When I look under Podcasts and iTunes U, the options vary from podcast to podcast. What podcast are you trying to Get All for? This podcast shows the Get all option for me after subscribing.

Hello and thank you so much for your reply - I subscribed to the podcast (interesting choice, by the way!).  It appeared in iTunes, with 'GET' next to each individual episode, but there is no 'GET ALL' button at the top of the list of podcasts.  Are we using the same version of iTunes?  I'm using version 10.5.2.11.

Im using iTunes 10.5.2 (11) for Mac OS X.

Do you see the Gett All button after launching iTunes in Safe mode (hold Shift and Control while launching iTunes)?

• Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.

If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:

If it works normally in Safe mode, you'll probably have to remove outdated plug-ins from the folder mentioned in the article -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430

If not, try testing with an alternate iTunes library (hold Shift while launching iTunes).

If it works with another iTunes library, you'll want to try re-creating your iTunes library as shown here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451

Side note: The Stuff You Missed in History Class podcast about Ötzi was very interesting and easy to listen to.

Yes there should be a Get All button for subscribed Podcasts/iTunes U series that have available episodes not yet downloaded.

Thank you - I tried launching iTunes in Safe Mode and I still didn't see the 'GET ALL' button.  I also tried launching iTunes and choosing a library (I created a new one), subscribed to a podcast and had the same trouble.  No 'GET ALL' button.

I appreciate your help!

Try downloading and installing iTunes 10.5.3, which just came out this morning.

If that doesn't work, try testing in a new Windows user account.

I have had this same problem, and looked for a solution AGAIN today, and found this that actually works!!!!

In your library, open Podcasts then change the view of your podcasts to "List."  The download button will now appear next to the podcast and allow you to "download all available podcasts."

but thanks!

Glad I could help you sort out your issues!

Quite a spectacular first post in these forums!

and after having registered almost two years ago.

I don't know about macs, but on iPhones you can change your download setting to 'all unplayed' instead of 'default' or 'only new'.  That should download all the episodes.
