No Agenda NA-102-2009-06-07

Replying to echazarreta:

Does it start downloading and then stop with an error? Sometimes this happens to me. When the podcast is downloading, in iTunes you'll see a new item "Downloads" appear in the left sidebar under "iTunes Store". Click on "Downloads" and you'll then see progress bars against all downloading podcasts (or "error" and a code). If it stops with an error, click on the circular arrow at the right hand side to resume it. Sometimes I have to do this several times on some podcasts on a bad day.

If it seems to download ok, does it get lost after the download?

In "Downloads", when the progress bar reaches the right hand side, it should say "Processing File" for a second or two. Next it changes to "Done". Do you get an error instead of "Done" ? (Try downloading it again and watch what happens).

This has happened to me. Seems to be a bug in iTunes - I think it's trying to copy the file to an existing filename.

I had a lot of trouble with this in the later iTunes v7 but v8 is a lot less prone to it. I'm using the very latest iTunes v8.2 which was released last week. Try upgrading if you're on v7.

If that doesn't work, try this:

If you've got a large archive of No Agendas that you want to keep, copy out all the NA mp3s to somewhere else. The files are in Podcasts\No Agenda under wherever iTunes keeps all your music. If you're not sure where that is, in iTunes visit Edit, Preferences, Advanced tab and it tells you the name of the folder where it keeps your music (podcasts are under here in "Podcasts").

Next, in iTunes click on Podcasts on the left sidebar and delete "No Agenda" at the top level list of podcasts. It will then ask you what to do with the old episodes. If you don't care, send them to the recycle bin, otherwise keep them.

Now subscribe to No Agenda which should download the latest automatically.

If that doesn't fix it, delete No Agenda and this time send the old episodes to the recycler (you still have them copied away somewhere else right?).

Subscribe to No Agenda and let it download 102.

"Get" 101.

You can now put the old episodes back from where you copied them:

When you add them back, iTunes may reference them where they are (so don't delete them) or it may copy them to Podcasts\No Agenda. You can ensure that iTunes copies them to its music area by going to Edit, Preferences, Advanced Tab and check "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". If you don't check this, iTunes will reference the old podcast files in their current location.

In iTunes, click on "Music" (top of left hand sidebar). Now choose File, Add file to library and select one of the podcast mp3s that you copied away earlier. iTunes will recognise it as a podcast and add it back under the No Agenda podcasts (check it did this ok). I've found you can only add up to about 5 in one go this way. If you're lucky you'll have everything back the way it was with the new episodes downloaded. If not, there might be one or two that refuse to go back - perhaps its that clashing filename issue. Try doing a "Get" on these to re-download them.

If one or two persistently won't add, the only thing I can think of is to have the old podcasts somewhere else (ie uncheck that "Copy files ...." box). If that doesn't appeal, you'll simply have to redownload all of them starting at no 1. If you download them in episode order, one at a time, it should avoid the filename clashing problem.

iTunes like to have control over everything, so you can't just copy files into the music library without going through iTunes (it won't know they're there).

The "No Agenda Forums" are beginning to gain momentum, so it's definitely worth going over to http://noagendaforums.com, and signing up over there. I haven't looked at these comments for a few weeks and only came here by chance today. No Agenda Forums have RSS and Twitter feeds so you won't miss a post over there.

besides that: Dvorak's claim that participation in EU elections would be fixed if it would be below 38% is bullshit: in Poland it was 20%, and in eastern Europe generally 20-30% only. It was western EU that had highest participation in EU elections causing the average to go up. Dvorak = totally wrong therefore.

Has anyone had iTunes not show NA eposodes? My iTunes is not showing NA episodes 101 & 102 for some reason. I'm old fashion, I like to download (I know I can download directly from the show link) to listen anywhere and anytime I like. Tnx.

Has anyone had iTunes not show the NA episodes? My iTunes will not show NA episodes 101 & 102. I'm old fashion, I like to download, sync to my iPod to listen anywhere, anytime I want.
