Q: Podcast's not downloading

My podcasts on iphone 6 have stopped downloading.  All new podcasts are stuck on "preparing to download" but never actually downloading.

 

Is this a known error?

    Having this problem too. It does work to restart phone but it's getting a little irritating having to restart my phone 5 times a day. Every. Single. Time.

    I've had the same issue, ever since downloading ios 10. I've upgraded to 10.0.02, and the issue persists. Rebooting my iphone every time I want to download a podcast is a not a very suitable solution.

    You don't have to reboot your phone.  Just go to the menu for each podcast and "Cancel Download", and then pick "Download Episode".

    I tried. It did not work. I try everything before restarting. I delete and restart, I turn my internet off and on again. Nothing works. I didn't think it was possible for them to make the podcast app wise but they managed it.

    yeah that works, but i don't want to have to manually download every podcast i listen to. totally defeats the purpose of subscribing.

    I've had the same problem since IOS 10. The temporary fix works but is kindof a pain to do for every podcast.

    What i've found that seems to work permanently, so far, is to delete the podcast app and then reinstall it.

    I did this yesterday and everything uptated fine this morning but be aware that it wipes out your settings and you'll have to do a little housekeeping afterwards.

    I have this problem on an iPhone 6S after updating the operating system to 10.0.2.  Restarting and turning the phone off and on did not solve it for me, nor did the Airplane Mode trick.  Any other suggestions will be appreciated!

    Same problem here.  iphone 5S.  iOS 10 is what caused the problem.

     

    Re-booting the phone didn't work.

     

    Deleting the podcast from the download queue seems to work.  When I go to d/l it manually, it looks like it is already downloaded.  Almost like the d/l process just didn't finish the "I'm done" process very well.

     

    All of these workarounds do not "solve" the problem.   A little direct attention from Apple would be nice.

     

    Something other than the standard silence.
