ITunes 9.0.2 Unable to place podcasts in a playlist in custom order

In previous versions of iTunes it was possible to arrange podcasts in a playlist in the order in which I wished to listen by dragging and dropping items into the desired order in list view. This disappeared in iTunes 9 but it was still possible using a modifier key while dragging an item. 9.0.1 worked perfectly. In 9.0.2 I have again found it impossible to arrange podcasts other than by using the column headers or by editing the titles to get them into a custom order. Has this option gone or am I missing something?

I have a similar issue which started with iTunes 9, seemed to go away with 9.0.1 and is now back. iTunes will synchronize some previously selected podcast playlists, but it will not allow me to add new playlists to the list for synchronization. Before there were some work-arounds, but none seem to work right now. Anyone else see this? Any ideas?

Podcasts in Smart Playlist not showing up on iPhone in iOS 5

Upon first syncing my iPhone to iTunes after uploading both to iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5, I noticed that my podcasts in Smart Playlists were not there, and coincidentally, the Smart Playlists were gone in iTunes (that's a different issue altogether).
The solution I found is that you have to sync the podcast Smart Playlist from the "Podcasts" tab on iTunes. I did this with my phone plugged in, but suppose that this would also work with a wi-fi sync.
Choosing the Smart Playlists from the "Music" tab will result in empty playlists on your phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm having the exact same issue on Mac OS 10.7.2 and iOS 5. There are some other posts on Podcasts not syncing with smart playlists. I haven't found a solution yet. Super annoying. I used to have a smart playlist of audio podcasts sorted by date. Now the Smart Playlist shows up on my iPhone - but it's empty. I've tried your solution but id didn't work for me. I've unchecked all Playlists in the Music tab and checked them in the Podcast tab and I've still got empty Smart Playlists on my iPhone. Let me know if you get any more info on this. I'd also like to add that this exact problem surfaced a while back with a previous iOS update.
Here are what I see as the variables in this problem...
Music tab:
• Playsts box (my Smart Playlists of Podcasts DO NOT show up here)
• Genres box (I've tried checking and unchecking the Podcast Genre)
Podcast tab:
• Automattically including ___ episodes of ____ podcasts (I've tried checking and unchecking this)
• List of indivudual podcasts with checkboxes (I've tried checking and unchecking them)
• Include Episodes from Playlists (I've tried checking and unchecking them)

I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

"Unable to Download Podcast" error after upgrade to iOS7 - iPhone 4S

Hey all,
Since upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, the Podcasts app is no longer able to download new Podcasts directly from the app. I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Podcast" with the option to Retry, which always fails. This happens on both 3G and WiFi This error applies to any of my Podcast subscriptions. It was working fine on iOS 6.1.3. I have tried deleting it and re-installing it. I've toggled the Podcast app Settings. I have an iPad 3 WiFi and I haven't had the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
John

Unable to Download Podcasts Since 9.0.2 - No "Get Episode" Button

Ever since the update to 9.0.2, I am unable to download podcasts from the iTunes store. The old and, it has to be said, reliable "Get Episode" button is nowhere to be seen. Clicking on the subscribe button brings me the warning splash screen, "Are you sure you want to subscribe?" but when I click "Yes" nothing happens.
The new iTunes Store design may be sexy and all that but it lacks the essential element of functionality. Black background, sure. 3-D buttons and windows, bring it on. But best of all... how about it just works?
I produce a podcast and it is very frustrating to think that all our hard work won't get heard because of a technical glitch. Is there a workaround? Or is it possible to go backwards in time to an older (more functional version of iTunes)? It seems like a pretty substantial problem... anyone else?

I've got iTunes 9.0.3. I'm clicking the FREE button (and every other button I can find) on podcast lists but since they changed the design I still can't download a single episode of a podcast.
Any help will be appreciated.
I guess not many people actually download podcasts or there would be a real storm about this - it's so basic, yet it doesn't work and there are almost no posts about it.
Thanks in advance.

HELP PLEASE

Unable to download podcasts on home network thru router on broadband modem

HELP!
In the last month or so, I am unable to download podcasts thru out home network. Have 2 imacs, one connected wirelessly (N) and one ethernet on a Belkin Router connected to a Motorola Broadband Modem (DHCP). When podcasts are refreshed and begin to download, the downloads often stop. My research reveals that the podcast downloads cause all the machines on the network to become disconnected from the router with the exception of a TIVO connection. Thus no internet access across the VPN. The router remains connected to the internet, and if restarted, the network machines are restored. Wondering if I need to configure a Proxy Server for the VPN and for ITunes handshaking? Guidance appreciated.

Updated information: It appears, according to the Belkin Firewall Security Log, that the podcast downloads are being interrupted by the router which lists the event as a DoS Attack from my ISP address registered to the internet service provider (Comcast). Gathering this is based on high udp activity on port 80 (Can you tell I a over my head here?). I know I can configure certain port privileges in the firewall settings, downloaded the apple port sheets somewhere.......

Unable to locate podcasts on nano

I am unable to locate podcasts on my second gen. nano. My itunes library shows the podcasts listed. Any clues?

iMovie would normally be kept in the Applications folder, is that where it was when you did the upgrade?
Also iMovie would have come with your computer. If needed you can reinstall it from the disk that came with the computer.
If you do not have the disk, your easiest alternative may be to purchase it from the Mac app store. To do that you will need to upgrade your operating system to Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) or later, as the version of iMovie on the App store requires that.
Getting Lion from the App store is a little tricky. Unless you have previously purchased it, you need to call Apple sales and buy a download code from them, then go to the store to get it.
If your MacBook will support it, of course, you can always go up to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion.)
Best of luck.

Unable to download podcasts after authorizing new computer

I just authorized another computer. When I sync the ipod, I am unable to download podcasts that I already subscribed to.

Apple should be ashamed for sticking people with a crappy appp like the new iTunes.
After reinstalling iTunes 9.0.3 and the get episode button still not working, I exported my playlist (iTunes/File/Library/Export Playlist), trashed the iTunes application, iTunes library folders (in User and Music) and downloaded iTunes 8.2 ( http://en.kioskea.net/telecharger/telecharger-241-itunes-for-mac ), installed it, then imported the playlist back in.
Ba-dah-boom.
It may not be as elegant as iTunes 9, but at least it works like it’s supposed to.

HT1725 I have tried to download the podcast "Ab Trimmer" from Exercise Tv and it does not allow the download to be completed. Comes up with Unable to Download podcast prompt. I now just want this to be moved from my download list, how do I do this?

I have tried to download the podcast "Ab Trimmer" from Exercise Tv and it does not allow the download to be completed. Comes up with Unable to Download podcast prompt. I now just want this to be removed from my download list, how do I do this?

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

ITunes 9.1 was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services.

Everything was working perfectly fine on 9.0, then i upgraded to 9.1 version and my iPod Touch 3G stopped syncing properly (error as in subject). I tried many things, checked dll's, restarted services, everything without success. SO...
I uninstalled every single apple program and couple non applce. Deleted every Apple related file, even all those hidden in users/common files/app data folders. Double checked everything and restarted PC. THEN I downloaded full version of iTunes 9.1 64bit and installed.
Aaaand I restarted everything, lunched iTunes, plugged iPod in. Some Apple drivers installed themselves, then iTunes was frozen for couple minutes. Finally iPod shown in iTunes. I tried to sync and... BAM. Still broken, still same error "iTunes 9.1 was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later"
Please help, my iPod is useless. Can u release new, working iTunes?

OK i have to say, i finally fixed it. Now its fully working without ANY problems, here is what i did (before trying this u should probably do this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923):
1. Unplug every external Card Reader.
2. Unplug every Card Reader in your PC (they are plugged into motherboard)
3. Unplug every USB Hub.
4. Unplug every USB Drive or USB HDD.
5. Plug in Ipod Touch/iPhone.
6. Go to Device Manager.
7. Search for "USB Mass Storage Device" in Universal Serial Bus Controler.
8. Right click on it and UNINSTALL.
9. Search for "Scan for hardware changes", click on it and wait a bit.
10. Turn on iTunes and check if its working.
Now it should work like a charm.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!
