be sure that you have downloaded the podcasts app onto your ipod touch then when you want to sync your podcasts be sure to check the box for podcasts under your ipod tab then check the box below it to automatically include all unplayed episodes of the podcasts that your are subscribed to or go through each podcast individaully and click the check box next to each podcast episode that you want to your ipod plus go to settings>podcasts and make sure that the sync subscriptions tab is clicked to the right and green plus you could choose to have each podcast through the settings> podcasts and through each subscription to have new episodes automatically downloaded to your ipod touch as well

Some background: I've used iPod Touch for years, and have always updated using USB. Problems have suddenly developed with wifi sync; which I've tried on and off, with varying degrees of success.

What if I don't want to use the podcast app? I've read bad reviews and have resisted downloading it. Is this what's causing my current downloading problems?

I ended up doing a system restore (pain in the patooty!) and finally did a successful podcast update--this time, anyway.

Any comments?

Thanks
