Error when trying to download podcasts

The exclamation mark in the images suggests that the episode isn't where iTunes thinks it should be on your computer. Try playing the episode in iTunes. Repair the link to the file or delete it and redownload. Delete with the keyboard rather than using the context menu. In iTunes 12,9 this can delete an entire podcast series rather than the selected episode.

I probably focused on the exclamation mark thinking it related to a missing but already downloaded file, but I think this is really a podcast producer issue where things have changed at their end. If the feed is broken you need to contact the provider and ask them to fix it.

Someone at Art19 emailed me and said they were aware that this was happening, but didn't seem to know why. I've had it happen several times for 2-4 days, and then iTunes suddenly recognizes them again. It may have something to do with the internet connection itself, since two of the fixes happened when I accessed a different wifi network. That may just be a coincidence though.

Any update on this? I started experiencing the same problem yesterday. Every non-Art19 podcasts updates just fine, but iTunes refuses to update the feed for Art19 podcasts. Can't play any of them through the store either.

Tried updating and then reinstalling itunes. Tried resubscribing. No luck.

I have this issuealso. I can't play the episodes in iTunes. Can you provide some addtiomal details on repairing the links to the files?

I also have this issue sometimes, usually after I update iTunes. I suspect it is on the Apple end. Here is what I did to resolve the problem today: I switched from Library to Store and searched for the podcast that would not download. I clicked on the Get button to the right of one of the episodes that would not download. That put a Play button to the left of the episode. I hit Play. It started playing. I hit the stop button (also to the left where Play was). Then I switched back to Library and selected Podcasts. That episode and all the others that would not download had now downloaded. Another podcast with two episodes that did not download either would now download, although I had to hit the Download button (blue cloud with arrow pointing down) to get them to download. Hope this works for someone else.
