[iTunes] downloading podcasts - again.

[Ken Stevens]

Hi Becca,

I see the problem but I don't know how to fix it.  I just tried the  
clock change trick and changed the download time.
I then quit iTunes and changed the clock back to the correct time.   
When I opened iTunes again it had set the
download time for 3 hours from now.  I will be going to an Apple store  
in the next couple of weeks, I will ask the
genius.

I guess the clock change trick doesn't work.  You might have to set  
your alarm and click the "Refresh" button
when it is actually 3 am.  I have had success in iTunes holding the  
correct download time when I did this.

The program I recommended works great.  It turned on the Mac Mini at  
4am , recorded the TV show and turned
it off at 5am.  The only problem I see with the solution I suggested  
is that when you fire up your computer during the
day it will launch iTunes.  Unless we can solve the problem of  
automatically downloading when iTunes starts
you would have to manually stop the downloads at that time.  Sorry, I  
will let you know if I find anything.
