Why am I being prompted to sign in to Mevio.com

I'm having the exact same problem. I've unsubscribed to all my podcasts and am still getting the **** prompt for username/password every time I open iTunes or try to sync one of my devices.

I have a lot of podcasts I've been saving to listen to later that aren't available anymore to download. If I have to delete them all in order to figure out which one was hosted by Mevio, I'll be ******.

Any help would be appreciated.

It would be nice if iTunes could address the problem but not holding my breath.

Unfortunately I had to completely delete the podcasts that were trying to connect to mevio.com in order for the problem to stop. Fortunately, those podcasts were not important to me so I didn't loose much, and I was able to keep those dead podcasts that were important.

To find the out which podcasts were trying to connect to mevio.com I clicked on the "!" alert icon in the List View. Mevio.com would be somewhere in the text of the Alert Dialog.

I have similar issues lately concerning a login window showing up prompting me to login to mevio.com when I try to refresh all podcast together. Beware this is malware and needs to be taken out via deleting individual podcasts that are allowing this on their tail end. The best way I found is to refresh each podcast you have one at a time so you will see witch podcast has this malware attached. the ones that are left are OK. It will take a few minuets to do this depending on the size of your podcast subscriptions.

No, not malware.

Mevio recently stopped hosting podcasts.

If the authors haven't updated their iTunes feed, then this is what happens.

In my case the culprit Podcast seemed to be "The Art of Photography" which I promptly deleted... your mileage may differ

I have a similar issue. I installed Podcasts on my iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.2 so I could pull down some podcast episodes that showed up in my iTunes (iOS) search results. Now I get an occasional login alert for mevio.com:80 even though I completely deleted the Podcasts app. What should I do now?

You have to delete the actual podcasts that trying to access mevio.com. To find the out which podcasts were trying to connect to mevio.com click on the "!" alert icon in the List View. Mevio.com would be somewhere in the text of the Alert Dialog.

I appreciate the advice, but perhaps I didn't make it clear that the login requests were happening on my phone, not on my Macbook Pro. As such, there was no exclamation point or other alert besides the annoying dialog (in which iOS's various APIs do not, annoyingly, include a "Never ask again, and by the way, update your feed links!" option).

The problem appears to be solved. Apparently simply killing the iTunes Store task still leaves search and download processes resident; I reopened iTunes Store, cleared the search and entered another, and then canceled two downloads that were still valiantly trying to finish.

It's been about 36 happy iPhone using hours since I've had a mevio.com login prompt. Even so, in a perfect world:

1) mevio's servers would finally be taken down completely, disabling the login prompt;

2) podcasters who still have iTunes and other feed links pointing to mevio would receive a mild electric shock every time the dead links caused user issues;

3) Miley Cyrus would be a mime. (This last one is not germane to the topic, but in my opinion, it would bring us closer to a perfect world.)

Has your fix still worked for you? I'm getting a similar problem on my phone after downloading TurskishClass101 podcasts where it a login request keeps popping up on my iPhone5s even when I'm don't have any apps open!

I tried your solution and it is still popping up...

In my case it was Finding America SD. I deleted it.

In iTunes 12, you need to go to your Podcasts Library. Then on the upper right side of the screen change from Podcasts to Episode List. Now you can see the ! Alerts symbol. Mine had quite a few. I clicked on each of them. A couple of them were problems connecting to the feed server or address. I found one that was looking at the Mevio server, and I promptly deleted that one.

There were a few that didn't include the feed address. They said something like connection timed our or server not available. In those cases I used a two-finger tap to get the contextual menu and selected Copy Podcast URL. Then I went to TextEdit and pasted the URL in there. None of those ended up Mevio addresses, but it may be a way to identify Mevio addresses for your subscriptions.

Good Luck.

Same issue here. May be a solution: go to your iTunes library, Podcast folder, delete Bestofyoutube podcast files, exit iTunes, relaunch iTunes. Works for me so far.

Also having same issue, this all started with latest version of iTunes (which I hate- why they think the changes are good, I have no idea). But in regards to the podcast, they message pops up every time, and I am not even in my podcast - rarely use them. But I did follow some of the suggestions provided from others, but to no avail. I do not have a lot of podcast, so I clicked on each one and they all played.

I do know from past experience that iTunes will not fix the problem. From what I have heard from others, as well as a visit to an apple store, they don't even monitor the issues posted here.

I am still waiting for them to address the problem with outlook contact removing the address info each time my iPhone and iPad are synced with my outlook 2010 contact list. That started when they went to IOS7 and they have still not resolved the issue.

As much as I love many things from apple, they do a terrible job of following up on issues they obviously they created, because the problems do not occur until they make changes to iTunes.

Why don't they follow the rule, If it is not broken, don't fix it.

dont blame apple Or iTunes.

Mevio closed their shop and aren't hosting podcasts anymore.

You have to go thru your podcast feeds and remove any that reference mevio.

In my case in turned out to be the podcast "Old Time Radio Suspense."

Very frustrating issue. This is an Apple problem in the sense that their dialogue prompting for password does not contain the name of the podcast trying to access mevio.com. That's poor UI design.
