I erased some podcasts long ago... but smart playlists still find them!

This one... I don't know how long I've had it. I am running iTunes 8.1, but I doubt that has anything to do with this oddity.
I have some old podcasts that I erased long ago. I did not erase some Smart Playlists that find those podcasts. I just noticed those playlists, and found that I can click on the supposedly deleted items... and play them. But I can't find them using a search in iTunes!
How can that be????? They're not in Music, not in Podcasts (where they used to be), not in audiobooks... they do NOT show up when I type part of their name in the search box. But they DO show up when I click the Smart Playlist, and they do show up when I search my hard drive, exactly where they would be if they had never been deleted:
user/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts/folder for the specific batch of podcasts
I suppose I can get rid of them once and for all by hunting them down on the disk and trashing their original files... but why are they still around???

When you hit the delete key on an item in your library, a dialogue window appears with three options: Cancel, Keep File, Move to Trash. If you simply hit the return key, you've opted to Keep File (that's the default setting). This will remove the item from the library but keep it in your files. Perhaps when you deleted you didn't opt to move the items to the trash.

  • I downloaded some podcasts, but I can't find them. Where are they?

    I just downloaded 17 podcasts episodes. The iTunes confirms that they're in the iPhone (4S), but I can't find them.
    I already looked in the "Music" section, "More", etc. But the "Podcasts" item it's no there. Neither in the "Video" section.
    Do I need an app to make they work?
    Where they could be?
    Thanks!
    Ana C.

    They are no longer supported in the Music app. You need to download the Podcast app from the App store. It is free.

  • TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

    TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
    My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
    It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
    Help Please.
    I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
    please advice

    The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
    If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
    You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
    Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
    No files will be lost on the hard disk.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
    Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
    Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
    Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
    There is also a trick to test..
    You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
    Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
    Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

  • I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser.  Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't.  I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them.  Where should I look?

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

    Hi, Derek -
    ...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
    Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
    It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

  • I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all.  Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

    I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file.

    I have photoshop CS4 with the newest update. I'm a photographer and just purchased the new canon 7d mk II. Today, I shot some photos on raw but am unable to pull them up in photoshop. A window pops up saying "photoshop cannot recognize this type of file. The thumbnails are white with a blue and white CR2 on them. Please help.

    Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is the latest for Photoshop CS4 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows
    The problem is that your new camera is supported by ACR 8.7 and only Photoshop CS6 and up supports this version.
    So if you do not want to buy CS6 or subscribe to the $10/month Photography Program, you have to convert the CR2 files to DNG to work on them. Your original CR2s are untouched in the process, you just can't directly edit them in CS4, only the DNGs.
    Maybe Canon offers editing software for their CR2s, but CS4 is not going to be updated and there is no way around that.
    It's not what you want to hear, but that's the situation so far.
    Maybe Elements or Lightroom has updated raw support for your camera, so I encourage you to visit those forums and ask.

  • I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

    Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
    Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder

    A 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
    Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
    How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
    If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you made a Time Machine backup before deleting the applications, you can recover them from your backup. Just go to the Applications folder, and open the Time Machine app, so you will be able to recover the applications just navigating through your backups.
    However, there are some applications that won't work after doing this, because they require other system files. In this case, you will have to download the apps again from the Internet and install them using the installer
