Q: itunes exclamation mark on podcast both Mac and Windows.

I have been having this problem for a couple of days. When I try to download a favorite podcast of mine (The Completely Unnecessary Podcast), on both Mac and Windows, iTunes will not download any episode of the podcast. There is an exclamation mark in the circles beside the episodes of the podcast. The podcast has played before, but now nothing plays. I have also deleted the podcast from my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Any suggestion would be fine.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), Mid 2007

    Hello lrm864,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I see you're concerned that you're seeing an exclamation point next to a Podcast in iTunes.  Take a look below to see why this is occurring:

    Next to a song: The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or deleted.

       

    Next to a podcast: Recent episodes haven’t been downloaded because you have multiple unplayed episodes.
