Lusitania: Time Determined Who Survive.Why do I connect to wifi to download from iTunes? When to Check Up on Your Emergency Kits.
Then I went looking for any preference files and deleted /Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/.plist. The first thing to try is deleting the cache files which I found in my /Library/Caches/ folder, those are not critical but are some of the first to get corrupted but that didn't fix the problem.
Spotlight is great for finding such files. This is on a Mac so if you're on Windows you'll have to find the equivalent places yourself using Windows Explorer. Make sure iTunes is not running. It is not unusual for a corrupted file to do something really weird to an application. So I log back in to my regular user and went looking for any iTunes related files like preferences and caches to delete to see if that was the problem. Fast as lightning again, so something was wrong with my user settings somewhere. I created a new user in System Preferences/Accounts, logged in and loaded up iTunes and downloaded a favorite podcast. So I quit and went back to my regular library using option/alt again. I went to the iTunes Store podcast directory and started downloading one of my favorite podcasts from scratch.
Then, is it my iTunes library? I open iTunes with the option/alt key down and created a new library with a different name, like test. That solves most problems, but not this one. So I started to apply some simple troubleshooting techniques:įirst, a simple reboot. A quick search didn't find anything helpful on the web. It would estimate hours of download time instead of the seconds or minutes it normally takes. I like to listen to podcasts when in the car and doing things like laundry, but lately iTunes has been very slow to download my podcasts. Its also a great place to keep parts of my document kit information. You can even go to iTunesU and watch courses from schools and universities from around the country.
I can surf the web, read email, read ebooks, read pdfs, listen to music, audiobooks and podcasts, and watch movies and TV shows. I love my iPod touch, it's an amazing tool.
