New to downloading podcasts, I have a premium account that I just signed up for. Firstly I am using the latest version of iTunes, and using Windows 7. When I added the podcast, and I think it was the free feed, I got 1 episode. I also am constantly asked for my password....it says that you the server is requiring this information, (and is warning me that the logon information is passed nonsecurely). However even if I add this information I still have exactly 1 episode. I have not tried downloading the podcasts one-by-one.

In addition when I go into the My Feed page to choose which podcasts I am interested in, I can click various choices, fill in the name of the feed, and choose a itunes or juice feed URL but next time I go into the screen all the information is gone. How does the feed know what I want to download even if I could get it to work?

I don't have an ipod, iphone or any apple device. I am not familiar with any other podcatchers. Although I have an internet radio with a podcast program called (imaginatively) Podcast Player. I even tried to access on this device the mediafly stream/podcast, but only one episode will download/play whatever is happening. How do I download more than one episode?

I have only a one month subscription, when the month is up if I have not figured this out, I won't be renewing.

Thank you (though it does seem that technical support response is not very good).

Hello Donna,
In iTunes, when you are looking at the list of episodes (in your case, you only see one, is that correct?) please try right-clicking, and then clicking on "Show All Available Episodes". Since you are a Premium member, you should see a long list of all of our podcasts (which may take a moment to load).
Please let me know if this works for you :)

Thank you very much I think I figured out iTunes now. OK, I did say I was new to podcasting. I did what you said but I didn't see any change at first, but finally I double-clicked on the icon to see the list of downloadable episodes I had chosen. I was able to download a few episodes, and only had to put in my password when it timed out or at least only now and then.

I'll probably have other questions as I move along to actually trying to use the podcasts I downloaded, but thank you so far for the help.

I am also getting the password request in iTunes multiple times. It seems to be random however. This happens regardless if I check the Remember box.

Since I'm on Windows 7, I thought I would configure the Credential Manager with the username and password but still asks me for the password.
