Hi Keith, KB: OK have subscribed to the ACB main menu podcast i instructed itunes to download the last 10 episodes, do i just leave it to get on with it or do i need to do something else? also if i am using my Mac for other things will itunes automaticaly check for podcasts or do i have to open it every day?
You probably started a podcast subscription and instructed iTunes to keep the last 10 episodes that it downloads. I think the default is for iTunes to check for new podcasts every day, but you can change the frequency with which it does its checks (e.g. every hour, every week, etc.) or force it to update its feed manually by choosing "Update Podcast" option using the contextual menu for that podcast in the songs outline (when you have selected "Podcasts" in the sources outline). You can also force all podcast feeds to re-sync (which is more than just updating feeds) with Command+Option+Right bracket as described in this archive post: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg24234.html (I don't do this because I don't like to get information on all podcast episodes currently on the feed, even before I started subscribing -- the lists can be very long. But you have that option.) HTH Cheers, Esther
