I've subscribed to certain video podcasts. (One in particular is Photoshop Elements Killer Tips; andother is a cooking show.) iTunes will update with SOME of the episodes but not others. For example, with Killer Tips, it'll give me the episode on the bamboo tablet, but neither of the two that have come after it. I can't acquire them by clicking on GET in the Podcast section of my iTunes, or by GET in the iTunes store; or by UPDATE PODCAST; or by unsubscribing and then re-subscribing (if I do that, I get the same bamboo tablet episode but not the subsequent ones.) The same thing happens with some of the recipe shows for the cooking podcast, while some do download.

The little icon spins and the bar in iTunes fills in and then it says DONE...but nothing winds up in iTunes. I've checked the Download folder and these are not there.

Questions: WHERE do they go? They clearly download somewhere, and if I know hwere, I can import them as videos. Is there anything else I can do? (Is is safe to delete the Download folder on the hopes that something is amiss there that would be corrected if it were deleted and then rebuilt? It's odd that some podcasts update faithfully and some incompletely.

Try select KEEP ALL EPISODES, just for testing, u can reset it back later.

If the episodes show up but are grayed out and it has a GET IT button, u SHOULD be able to download those.

My experience is, few Podcast servers are consistent and (feels like) ran by amauteurs.
