ITunes not removing watched podcasts from iPhone

iTunes (7.7.0.43) is no longer removing podcasts from an attached iPhone (2.0) during synchronization, even if they have a play count >= 1, and iTunes is set to synchronize only "unplayed" podcasts. Even setting iTunes to not sync any podcasts doesn't result in any of them being deleted from the iPhone when synchronizing. Synchronizing TV shows ("all unwatched" -- why the inconsistent terminology?) on the other hand work as expected. The only way to get podcasts off the iPhone at the moment appears to be to remove them from iTunes. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm experiencing the same thing...thought I had changed a setting somewhere. Let me know if you find a fix.

  • ITunes deletes partly played podcasts from iPhone

    When syncing iTunes (9.03) and iPhone 3Gs (3.1.3) I still lose partly played podcasts. I've set it to automatically include the 5 least recent new episodes of selected podcasts.
    Partly played podcasts (most assuredly play count of less than 1) are not on the iPhone anymore after sync. I thought that had been changed?

  • ITunes not importing Voice Memos from iPhone into library.

    I have the settings on my iPhone to sync voice memos, yet when I sync with my iMac, it doesn't import the voice memos that I have in my voice memos list into my iTunes library for playing back outside of the Voice Memos app. What's wrong, and how do I fix it?

    I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
    Here ya go:
    1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
    2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
    3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
    4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
    5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
    6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
    You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
    7) Sync you iPhone and you are good to go.

  • IPhone (and iTunes) not seeing music, podcast on iPhone.

    All of a sudden, out of nowhere, and several days after updating to 3.0.1 and using my iPhone without any trouble it has stopped seeing that it has music, podcasts, videos and custom ringtones on it. However, it does recognize that it has that amount of drive space occupied by "Other" items (when viewed in iTunes.)
    On the iPhone itself, in Settings > About, it also shows that the correct amount of space is used, but it shows 0 songs, podcasts, etc.
    I've searched around online but haven't found any mention of others having this problem... Any idea what might have gone wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Something went wrong with the sync process, which can occur if the sync process is interrupted.
    The only way to resolve this is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before doing so to update your iPhone's backup and any data that is kept synchronized.

  • ITunes not showing app updates from iPhone

    I did some searches and found some people that have had similar, but not exactly the same problem.
    My iPhone 3GS shows that I have four apps that need updating. I don't like to use my data plan for updates if I don't have to, so I prefer to update via iTunes. The Problem is that when I go to iTunes, it does not show that these updates are available.
    Phone Software Version 4.3.3
    iTunes Version 10.3.1.55
    All the apps that have updates (according to the iPhone) are set to sync when connected to iTunes, but syncing them does not get the updates to show up in iTunes.
    If i go to the iTunes store through iTunes to try and re-download them, it already says "downloaded" and so I can't re-download them to get the newer version.
    If anyone knows where I can find the answer to this, please provide a link. I'm don't mind reading...I just had no success when I was searching myself.

    I have exactly the same problem.  I think it started some time ago (perhaps a couple of month).  Prior to that, I'll go to iTunes and get the apps again.   Now it says 'downloaded' but WHERE??????

  • How can I remove a podcast from iTunes if iTunes is locked up.

    I added a password protected podcast and iTunes locks up on the authentication dialog. Spinning beachball... only thing I can do is force quit.
    Earlier solution was to go in and manually disable podcasts with Xcode. but then i can't play any of my podcasts.
    The recent itunes update fixed the problem, sort of. it allowed me to use itunes normally again. But, I tried to subscribe to the podcast agin and... yup, same thing.
    How can I remove that podcast from iTunes without using iTunes to remove it?
    HELP!!!!

    ROGER, I AM SORRY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE 10 POINT RATING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NOT WITH YOUR RESPONSE, WHICH WAS RIGHT ON, BUT WITH THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.
    REGARDS, JEANNE

    Hi RadarCat16,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know it can be frustrating when you are waiting for content to download to your iPhone from the iTunes Store. There are a few steps I would recommend in this situation. Please read over and follow the steps in the attached article.
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
    If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    My wife recieved invite event from my PC Outlook. She accepted it, but it never showed up on her iCloud or iCal on our iMac. Then I removed her as an invitee and it did not remove the event from her iPhone. So now she has a event on her iPhone that is not on either her iCloud or iCal. How do I remove it from her iPhone?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • How do I remove a podcast from my iTunes 11 library?

    I have provided a screen capture of the problem that I am having. I would like to remove a podcast from my library (the one shown above) but despite unsubscribing and deleting all of the downloaded episodes the feed remaines there and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.
    (I am using the latest version of iTunes.)

    I was having this problem as well. In the most recent update, you should see a third option next to "Unplayed" and "Podcasts" called "List." Click this option, right click the podcast you wish to delete, then click "Delete."
    Hope this helps!

  • HT1819 Remove my podcast from the iTunes

    These instructions are no longer up to date.

    How do I remove a Podcast from the Itunes catelog/store?

    Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to remove the podcast, explaining that you cannot access the feed. In any case, as I assume the feed is no longer accessible by iTunes, the podcast will get removed eventually anyway.

  • Removing played podcasts from iTouch

    Does anyone have any advice on the best way to remove played podcasts from my touch? I have my synch settings set to sych only all unplayed. If I just delete the podcasts, they get added back in because iTunes doesn't see them as having been played. However, iTunes is not automatically deleting the podcasts that have been played from my touch. So now I'm in a situation where I have no space left on my touch because it's filled with podcasts that iTunes refuses to remove.
    I'd be very interested in hearing how I can address this problem.
    thnx,
    Christoph

    I had previously tried
    Smart Playlist - all podcasts
    . podcast is true
    Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
    . playcount is 0
    AND
    . playlist is all podcasts
    And that didn't work, I guess because the first playlist won't update. After reading your post I thought that it ought to work the other way around if the playcount is being analysed first:
    Smart Playlist - anything unheard
    . playcount is 0 (this works fine)
    Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
    . playlist is anything unheard
    But that won't work either. While the first playlist updates fine, the second one never updates and continues to display content that no longer appears in the playlist it is built on. Frustrating. I'm sure there must be a shortcut that hasn't occurred to me yet.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Itunes Match Makes Deleting Songs from iPhone impossible

    I'm so frustrated by iTunes Match, and would love to know if anyone can tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
    The issue I'm having is that I can't delete songs which have been downloaded onto my phone from my phone with my phone.  Whether the itunes Match service is disabled, or enabled and the "show all music" option is disabled, the music app does not respond to swiping to delete albums, artists or songs.  I've tried every configuration of settings I can think of.
    Does anyone have a way to fix this?  I've done many hard reboots and come up with nothing.  I can of course delete by using my home computer, but I'm paying for a service that should allow me to download from the cloud and delete what I've downloaded while away from my desktop.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi Kevinpnb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Sorry to hear of your frustration with Music Match on your iPhone.  You should be able to delete the music from your iPhone by following the steps in this article:
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    You can delete a song or album from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch at any time. Don't worry; it'll still be in the cloud.
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
    If the issue still persists, try backing up your iPhone to iCloud, and then restore it:

    I hope this information helps ....

    You cannot delete from a smart playlist unless you also delete from your iTunes library (or change the criteria of the smart playlist).
    Just delete it from the library and it will delete from the Smart playlist.
    Option Delete removes it from the library and the playlist.
