Played Podcasts, return as not played

Hello
My iPod Touch has an annoying problem, I listen to podcast(s) they show up on the iPod as being watched. I turn it off (press and hold the on/off button).
Turn it back on a later and the podcasts I have just watched / listened too are no marked as not been played, this is rather irritating feature of my iPod Touch and was wonder if any experience similar.
Its not only just turning it off, that cases this if I sync to my computer it often does not mark Podcasts as being played thus, and will not delete them, and re-sync from iTunes so they reappear as not being played.
I can end up listening to all my podcasts, then switching off or docking hoping it will erase the old Podcasts and sync a bunch of new unplayed podcasts that have ben download, but to my dismay it does download new podcasts but marks the played ones as unplayed.
I have resulting in manually managing my Podcasts as iTunes ans iPod seem incapiable of managing it themselves.
I am running the latest iPod update 1.1.4, I've restore to default settings and no joy.
Any in a simiar boat?

I am having this annoying problem also. I listen and some show as played others not. It seems to be especially bad if I turn off the iPod after listening. I have a long list of podcasts, and try to eliminate those I have listened to before syncing, which I do periodically. Has anyone found a solution or do I just have to remember the date and title of all podcasts I listen to when syncing. Having to create a playlist to continuously listen is also an annoyance, my iPod classic 40 did not have either of these problems, just a short charge battery. I don't watch movies on mine so I don't think that is the sole cause. I hope there have been some ideas on this since the original post was in March.Thanks

DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

Go this this thread for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

Podcast Audio Files Not Playing In Browser

I have a music podcast on my site, built by iWeb8. On my last podcast addition I published to folder and opened the site from the folder on my machine. Everything was fine except the browser would not play the MP3 files (VBR) of the podcast. I can open and play these files with quicktime but it does not work when viewing via the browser.
These files also play in iWeb.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I think that everybody but Apple agrees that QuickTime is not the best way to play audio files on the internet.
The statistics show that over 90% of surfers have flash.
If you're having problems with Firefox, what chance have you got with IE?
iWeb '08 coverts your MP3 files to .MOV.
'09 seems to have addressed this issue.
I stopped using QT about a year ago. This simple flash player is easy to implement and has the advantage of buffering....

Podcasts 2&3 not playing after upload by FTP to server?

On G-4, OS Tiger, Web site was created in iWeb 1.1.2 and worked with videos and audio podcast #1. Over internet, Podcasts #2 and #3 will not play- player bar does not show up (Just tiny question mark) after upload by FTP using Transit to Network Solutions server. Moved iWeb file to Mac Pro, OS Leopard, using iWeb '08, I recreated podcast pages and republished entire site: all pages look great, but I still have the same problem! I have tried uploading just podcast related files, uploading the entire site files, both zipped and not zipped. I always get this problem. Web site: www.calaverasgold.tv
Site media- videos and audio podcasts work fine in Safari browser on my computer, but player is not working one some files when site is accessed via internet. Please help. I need to produce a weekly podcast and I need to have them working. Thank you.

Yup. I am glad it is working just fine.
I erased all the files in the server and upload them to a new created folder.
I think the error was actually coming from the redirect. Somehow when I played around with changing .htaccess code if was able to style my website correctly.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Play All Script does not Play All !!

i need to be able to add a Play All button to the various menu pages on my project.
I tried using the sample scripts in the manual, and aside from changing the movie file names, it was letter and space perfect. Yet when i tried testing it using the Simulator the first movie played through but then instead of jumping to the next movie it just went back to the menu.
Is there a problem with the script in the manual, or perhaps simulator does not simulate this particular function? ideas how i should tackle this?
thanks

If you have muliple tracks in DVDSP, I usually use stories to handle play all behaviors. This allows you to let each track end jump back to the menu, but specify a different and jump for the stories, to go from one story to the next track's play all story.
If you are using scripts, you need to set the end jumps to the scripts. I find using scripts as pre-commands on a track doesn't always work, particularly if you press the "next" button on the remote. So the flow would go something like this:
menu: jump to script "play all, which sets your "play all" gprm to 1
script jumps to track, which jumps to script "after track so-and-so" which says if play all=1, then play next track, otherwise, return to menu.
each track needs to jump to a new script which tells it what to do by checking for the play all gprm

Songs will play in iTunes but not play on iPod!

This is very weird. I have 44 songs that are not working right.
A few months ago I moved my music files to one central location on my computer (aside from iTunes). I wanted to get rid of duplicates and songs I just didn't want and more importantly I wanted to make sure the names were all correct.
Oddly enough the songs in questions I did not have to change.
I synced my new iPod to my iTunes. I played a few songs and when it got to 1 of the 44 it just skipped over it. I thought this was weird so I went through artists and found the song that way, I selected it again and it wouldn't play.
I tired playing the song in iTunes - the song played.
I found it on my computer - the song played in Windows Media Player.
Before I did all of this, on my old iPod - the song played.
In fact all 44 of the songs used to play and everything was fine. (I use my old iPod for my car and my new one for jogging, but I don't want to sync my new one until I solve the problem I just don't want to risk losing the songs)
So I looked in the iTunes files - there is a file known as "Not Added" within the "Automatically Added" File. The songs in question were in that file. Which is weird because I never had this problem before...I didn't change anything about these songs.
I took one of the songs out of the "Not Added" file and I put it in the Automatically Added file and it seemed to add it. I tried syncing againbut the song would still not play.
I tried moving the song directly to the iTunes "Music" File. It made its own file with the artist and all - it hadn't been there before. So I tried syncing again but it still wouldn't play.
Yes - I have plenty of room on my iPod
Yes - I have tried restoring my iPod
No - There is not a little explanation point next to the song - The song is located and it plays in iTunes just fine.
I am at a loss. Someone please help me!
Thanks!

Select the track that is giving you a problem, then go to Advanced menu and select "Create AAC". Then try using that new AAC track on the ipod and see if it works.
I had some tracks that I had gotten onto my system from a CD. It ended up that my CD drive as on its last legs and had captured the tracks with some errors.iTunes was able to play through these errors, but my iPod was not. Having iTunes re-transcode them fixed the problem that kept them from playing on the iPod. Another solution would be to re-rip the tracks from your original CD. If you bought them on iTunes, re-download them.
The bottom line is that the tracks likely have some errors in them that iTunes can play through, but the iPod cannot.
Hope that helps,

After upgrading my iPhone to new 5.1 iOS, and reloading all of my files back in , my music appears to be in the phone, but when I press play, the music does not play, even though the pause button is now lit.

After 6 hrs. Of upgrading to 5.1 iOS , and reloading all data my music will not play. The music was reloaded from iCloud, and shows up in library, but will not play.

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

When I click play , my computer will not play the song???

When I click play on itunes, my song(s) will not play. My computer is authorized...any suggestions from anyone?

Why is Itunes not answering this question? Why do we have to do the work of solving problems in their software? That is a question I would like to add here.

When I push play the video does not play.

I have PP 2014. When I push play the video sometimes does not play. I just read here that the July 10th update may fix this, but the update keeps failing. Do i need to do something special?

Does your hardware meet the minimum requirements?

One thing that might help out.
make sure the iphone is up to date by connecting the iphone to itunes and click the button to check for updates.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.

Movie plays in preview but not playing in chm

I've tried several different methods of adding flash video
files to a HTML Help project.
I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia
folder (at least I think they're in the Multimedia folder!!).
When I preview the help page in RH, the movie plays as
expected. But, after compiling the help, the page looks blank and
the movie does not play.
Any suggestions?

Unfortunately because it's a conversion problem from copy protected discs we are unable to discuss the matter under the Terms of Use for these communities.

Played Podcasts return

Hello everyone
Is anyone experiencing the same issue as me, using Podcasts on a iPod Touch with latest software update.
When I listern to a podcast, it shows as being played, then if I turn off and on again (holding the switch for period of time or just suspend by pressing the on/off switch) the podcast is marked as unplayed, and what makes is strange is it is totally random, it can happen on a podcasts then not again, or another it totally random. I turned on today and all my podcasts are showing as unplayed? even though I'd listerned to them all
I listern agian let it complete and it is makred as unplayed then switch off, on again and it might not show as unplayed, but another could show as unplayed to be played, its driving me crazy.
I've reset, restored defaults everything, resubscribed to feeds everything still happens.
Anyone see similar?

Yes, I am too.
Found this thread in the iPhone forum that seemed to cover the same issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7013430#7013430
Following one of the suggestions there I reset the 'sync history' (Edit > Prefs > Syncing > Reset Sync History" (button at bottom of that tab), which seemed to update the list straight away - will see if this continues to be the case over the coming days though!

Enhanced podcasts on iPhone not playing pictures

I have recently downloaded a Enhanced Podcast that has several pictures that play while listening. When I play this in iTunes or on my iPod Video, it works beautifully. When I play it on my iPhone, I get no pictures.
Is this even possible with an iPhone?? I cannot seem to get show notes about the podcast either. This seems like critical stuff left out of the iPhone

Hello NeelsdL,
Thanks for the question. Podcasts on the iPhone are now managed from the Podcast for iOS application. For more information, please see the following resource:
About the Podcasts app for iOS
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
Once you have the Podcasts app installed, you will be able to manage your podcasts from iTunes.
Thanks,

TS3771 I have a podcast that will not play in 64 bit iTunes. I checked the box to open in 32 bit but now I get an error stating that iTunes needs 64 bit and quits the application. How can I get iTunes 11.1.4 to open in 32 bit so i can view this podcast in

I have checked the 32 bit box in my iTunes (Finder, iTunes.app, Get Info) so I can view a video podcast but now iTunes will not open. I get an error stating that it needs to be 64 bit and the application quits. How can I get my iTunes 11.1.4 to run in 32 bit mode so I can watch my podcasts?
