My podcast is no longer connecting.  It says 'there was a problem connecting to chinesepod--gaberox--all groups.  The required file cannot be found.  Please make sure the URL is correct and try again."  Can you help me?

Could you explain what you mean by 'my podcast is no longer connecting'.

Are you (a) trying to play the podcast directly from the CPod site;  (b) trying to download the files directly from the site;  (c) hoping to download via iTunes;  (d) something else

When the site switched over and you needed to join groups, it effected my itunes podcasts but after i joined groups it still wasn't auto bookmarking my lessons like before. but of course as soon as i complain it starts doing it so it seems its working again.

I can explain. I'm using itunes, and my podcasts are no longer downloading. The list won't refresh and I can't use itunes directly anymore. Now, when I want to put a lesson on my ipod, I have to download it onto my computer, import into itunes, then label it, then put it on my ipod. It is really annoying since I've grown accustomed to managing my lessons through itunes.

I don't use iTunes to download lessons, so I'm not really sure what is going on. All I know is that a lot of people have been complaining about a similar problem in the 2 weeks since we got this dashboard. I'm not sure if its supposed to be fixed yet. Perhaps someone else can update the situation for you.

I don't know if this helps but check if the podcast url is still the same. When iTunes didn't update my CPod podcasts anymore, I copied the new link from my rss settings, chose "subscribe to podcast" in iTunes, pasted the link and it worked. Strangely, the other podcast then loaded files every now and then, so I unsubscribed that a few days ago.
