Q: Podcasts no longer automatically download in iTunes 11
Hello all,
I've been Googling this and searching the Apple forums for some time now and can't seem to find this exact issue... close but not exact. If it's there and I missed it, please kindly direct me to said thread! Thank you!
Anyway, since upgrading to iTunes 11 (now using 11.1.3) - or maybe it was the upgrade to Mavericks, I'm really not sure - my subscribed podcasts no longer automatically download. When I hit the refresh arrow next to the podcast title all the new available podcasts appear in the list, but now I have to click the little cloud with the down arrow next to each individual podcast to start the download process. Extremely annoying! Especially if I haven't been able to download for a few days and have twelve or so in the queue.
None of my settings have changed, and I have double-checked the settings which are: Subscribed is checked; Keep: All Episodes; Download: Most Recent Episodes; Sort Order: Newest on Top; Play Order: Oldest First.
It used to be when I refreshed the podcast queue all new episodes started downloading immediately and automatically. Now, as I said I have to click on the cloud/down arrow to the right of each podcast. On occasion I will notice the podcast STILL did not download to my hard drive and instead was just streaming. I'll have to click again to download.
I have plenty of hard drive space on my external hard drive, which I have been using for years with no issue until now.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
