I’ve been hearing interesting feedback on iTunes 4.9 from all over the web most of which just involves people making a few changes to their preferences and they should be alright, on the other hand, my problem seems strange. My Mac isn’t automatically downloading podcasts from any of the feeds I subscribed to on the first day iTunes 4.9 was released.
I think possibly the problems Apple was having with the feeds translated across to the customers so I’m unsubscribing and resubscribing to those feeds.
Seems to be working ok.
