Hi there! I understand that your Overcast app on your Mac running OS X Catalina (10.15.7) isn’t updating to show the current day’s programs. Let’s get you back on track with your podcasts.
First, could you tell me if the issue is that new episodes aren't appearing at all, or are you just not seeing the update for today's programs specifically? Also, have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far, like refreshing the content or reinstalling the app?
In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step guide to try:
1. Refresh All Data in Overcast: Sometimes the app doesn’t pull new episodes automatically. In Overcast, go to Settings and look for an option like "Refresh All Data" or "Sync Profile". Pressing this can force the app to fetch the latest episodes.
2. Quit and Relaunch the App: Completely close Overcast and reopen it. Sometimes a simple restart triggers new content to appear.
3. Check for App Updates: Make sure you have the latest version of Overcast installed from the Mac App Store. Sometimes older versions have bugs related to syncing new content.
4. Delete and Reinstall Overcast: If refreshing doesn’t help, uninstall Overcast, then reinstall it. For Mac, completely removing the app’s data can fix stubborn syncing issues. You can delete the app from your Applications folder and also remove the folder ~/Library/Containers/Overcast (this stores Overcast’s app data). Then reinstall the app from the App Store.
5. Internet Connection: Verify your Mac is connected to the internet and there are no proxy or firewall settings blocking Overcast's connections.
6. Account Sync Issues: If you use Overcast’s sync feature across devices, try signing out and back into your Overcast account. This sometimes resets syncing problems.
If none of these steps work, let me know, and we can explore more advanced troubleshooting or check for any ongoing server issues.
Does this sound good so far? Have you tried any of the above already?
(These steps are suggested based on reported fixes where “Refresh All Data” and reinstalling helped users fix syncing issues with Overcast16.)
