Q: Changing Podcast Defaults
I have iTunes 12.3.3.17, and all of a sudden, today, something changed, and I can't find how to change it BACK.
In My Podcasts, at the bottom right of the screen, is a button "Settings..." that lets you set...well, settings...for individual podcasts. Under "Download Episodes," it shows the following three choices:
Default Setting (Off)
On
Off
I want the default to be ON, not OFF, and it has been forever: when I subscribed to new podcasts, they were always automatically set to "On." Until today when I started marking some of the older podcasts "Off"...only to find that suddenly ALL of them had been set to Off.
Help said there was a button on the lower left of the iTunes window that let you set that. And I REMEMBER that being there in the past...but it's not, now. I have no idea which version of iTunes Help thinks it's helping me with, but it's not 12.3.3.17.
I'm having to manually go through all my podcasts and set them to "On" one at a time (there are almost 200). There HAS to be a better way.
(In spite of what the "Product" thing says, I have El Capitan 10.11.5 Beta.)
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
