Podcasts not displayed correctly in iTunes or iPod

Some podcasts I subscribe to (but not all) are displayed in the "Library" section of iTunes as well as the "Podcasts" section. However, on my iPod, it is displayed only in the "Music" folder and not the "Podcasts" folder. How can I get all my podcasts to be correctly displayed both in iTunes and my iPod?
Thanks,
Steve

Well considering no one replied. What I had to do was this.
Go under iPod in My Computer (as a device plugged in). Then make sure hidden folders are visible. Then search under the Ipod_Control folders for the titles of all the podcasts that were missing. I then deleted them and now have room back on my Ipod...thank you Itunes.

Why is my podcast not updating correctly?

My podcast, the jaguar tapes: https://itunes.apple.com/nl/podcast/the-jaguar-tapes/id557617194?l=en&mt=2
It's not updating anymore! The new artwork isn't showing up. Also the new episode isn't in there on the correct date.
Can someone please help me out?
cheers Thom

Your feed is at http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/JaguarPodcast.xml
It has 13 episodes, all of which show in the iTunes Store. However episode 13 has no date and so appears out of order; the only possible reason I can see for this is that in your 'pubDate' tag you have a comma after 2014, which is strictly not correct.
The media file URL for this episode is
http://www.mothermusic.nl/podcast/Jaguar13.mp3
and there is no file at this address.
The Podcast Image appears correctly on the Store page, and the media file for episode 12 has an embedded image. There is of course no image for episode 13 when subscribing because there is no file there.
If you have a question about your own podcast (as opposed to playing other people's) it's best to ask in the Producing Podcasts forum.

Podcasts not listing correctly within my iPod (5g)

Hello,
I bought my first iPod a few days ago and have been having some issues with it. One of the issues is with some of the podcasts I've subscribed to. A few of them aren't being shown within the podcast folder. However, they are showing up in the music/artist/song/genre folder. I've deleted them and tried to download them again hoping they'd go into the correct place but they haven't. What's weird is that before I installed iTunes 7 it worked correctly (I've since gone back to iTunes 6). Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it? I don't want to have to browse all over my iPod trying to locate my podcasts. I'd like to find them all in one place. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

I tried that and now none of my podcasts show in the podcast folder. I swear, this thing has been the source of much frustration.

Podcasts not syncing correctly w iTunes

Despite my settings to just sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts, my iPhone shows ALL podcasts and includes episodes that have been marked as played already, even after syncing. Any solutions on getting the iPhone to work properly? I don't have this issue with my iPod.

I found a new Sync Subscriptions settings in Settings->Podcasts which when turned on fixed my problem. I leave "Use Cellular Data" off, so the syncing didn't kick in until I got phone on free hotel WiFi.

Republished entire site–7 out 14 podcast not loading

After updating iWeb, I republished my site that I had been working on. www.rcogop.com the podcasts are under RCOGOP Sermons. All of these podcasts were created in Garage Band using the same file by dragging the main track out and replacing it each time, export to iTunes, Convert to mp3 to cut down file size, rename, placed into iWeb via the media browser, published to my server account via FTP .
All of these podcasts are newly published at the same time. The three at the bottom of the list work and the four at the top of the list work. The four in–between do not work. The page for the podcast opens as usual. Where the controler bar should be, is a transparent Quicktime icon.
The actual media files are on the server and will play in Safari. If I log into my FTP account via Safari and click directly on the file it opens in a new window and plays.
This is what's puzzling me. If, I open the site from a folder on my computer everything works. It is only when I publish it to the Server that it doesn't work. Note again only some podcasts do not work.
Apple Care tech''s told me to delete everything on my server and republish. I did all 86mb. Takes a while with a 256kb upload speed.
Why would some of these podcasts not link correctly?
Has anyone else had this trouble?
Any, help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

I created a new podcast series and started from scratch using the same format the same audio files the same everything. I basically copied and pasted all of my text and images over from the old series.
(The only changes)
1. Instead of using the media browser, I drug the audio straight out of the finder.
2. I renamed the audio files with shorter names, no spaces and no hyphens,commas,apostrophes etc...
3. I noticed some of the dates did not match from the entry to the entry list. I corrected them. NOTE (This did not affect the podcast working. Some of the ones with unmatched dates DID work. All of the ones that DID NOT work had dates that matched in both the entry and the entry list?)
After I finished the new series, I deleted the old one, saved (+S), published to a new folder and uploaded the site after deleting everything on the server again.
(My Suggestion)
1. DO NOT edit a podcast series created before the 1.1 update after updating iWeb to 1.1.
Start a new series
(Comment)
I like iWeb for its simplicity.
I don't like not being able to view the HTML for trouble shooting.
But, I suppose that goes beyond simple.

Podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes

Hello,
I am having a problem with my podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes. The last 5 episodes I published appeared in iTunes at the bottom of the episode list, as if they were old episodes--i.e., they appear as if they were the first 5 episodes published. They also do not have a date assigned to them as the rest of the episodes do. They were not distributed to podcast subscribers, possibly because iTunes is not recognizing them as new episodes.
Here is my podcast feed: http://ic.instantcustomer.com/instantcasts/feed/podcast/5047174b90f14efe542431c2 674b1bd9
And here is the link to my podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-business-marketing-minute/id896451432
The problem began with last Wednesday's episode, which was Episode 30, and has continued ever since. I did not do anything differently when I published that episode than I did when I published the previous 29 episodes, and those updated just fine, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell (i.e., they appeared correctly on iTunes, and appeared as a new episode for me as a podcast subscriber). Also, after examining the rss feed, I could not see any difference between episodes 1-29 and episodes 30--34, at least as far as the way the feed was formatted. So, I have no idea what triggered the problem, and no idea how to fix it. If I can't resolve the issue then I think I'll have to abandon the podcast, since there's no point in publishing a podcast that doesn't distribute new episodes to subscribers.
If anyone can shed light on this problem for me, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!
-Kevin

As you say, in the Store the latest episodes don't show a publishing date. When subscribing in iTunes, none of the episodes show a publishing date, and they are listed in the order they appear in the feed.
In the feed, none of your episodes has a 'pubDate' tag, which is where iTunes gets the date from. Since most of the episodes in the Store have a date, it looks as if originally your episodes had this tag, but that five episodes back you did something in whatever method you are using to create your feed which removed these tags: the Store is presumably getting the dates from its cache since the episodes haven't changed, but obviously doesn't have the dates for the last 5 episodes.

The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked

The synchronisation of iphone 4S to windows 7/64 bit does no longer work; kalender, individual ringtones and contacts get not sychronized in both directions. I tried reset on working configuration, deinstallation of itunes - nothing worked - what can be done to solve?

Couple of things to check:
You are using Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010
You have selected to sync Calendars and Contacts with Outlook on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have selected your Outlook calendar as the default claendar on your iPhone (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar)
If all that is correct and iTunes still won't sync correctly, you might have to try reinstalling Outlook. Another option is to enable iCloud syncing with Outlook (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/). This requires Outlook 2007 or 2010. If you decide to sync using iCloud but sure to disable contacts and calendar syncing in iTunes on the Info tab of your sync settings. Do not try to sync with both Outlook and iCloud or you will end up with duplicates in your contacts and calendar.
For syncing Ringtones confirm that:
The file is really a ringtone (right-click the file in iTunes, select Get Info, on the Summary tab it should say "Kind: Ringtone".
You have checked each of the ringtones you want to sync
You have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings
You have checked Sync Tones on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings

Video Podcasts not being saved.

With a fresh install of Windows XP and iTunes, Video Podcasts were not be saved after download and processing. Discovered that Quicktime must be installed separately for Video Podcasts to work correctly with iTunes.
There was a "warning" with iTunes install that videoes could not be played without Quicktime. There was no notice that it also affected down-loading and importing videoes as well

Don, I think you're a Legend. I haven't ticked you yet because I haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure my problem is identical to yours and I've been searching for the answer for days.
Mr Apple, please take note. Don't just download and processing and make us download again and again. Either pop it up on your previous warning or put a warning up THEN. Thanks
And thanks again Don

Smart playlist not sorted correctly on ipod

I have a smart playlist in my iTunes 10.0, which contains all podcasts (with play count 0), sorted by release date.
Unfortunately, this playlist is NOT sorted correctly on my ipod (nano, 5th generation). After syncing with itunes, the ipod playlist has some apparently random order (not by release date, not even by name, artist or anything, it really seems random).
It's strange that, if I click on my ipod under "DEVICES" in itunes and click the playlist there, the correct order is shown (by release date). But again, on the ipod it is actually not sorted.
Message was edited by: powerbookuser99

I have a smart playlist for my podcast's and I normally sort them by the date added (oldest to newest) or by release date. No mater what I do now they only show up on my iPhone in date added order newest to oldest and I am unable to re-order them. I have a number of other playlists that work fine it is just this one smart playlist that is acting up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why is my music not listed correctly?

I've been having this problem for some time now and it's been getting very annoying. The thing is, when looking at my artists, songs or albums in the music app on my iPod (4th gen, running iOS 6.0.1), some titles would be under the correct letter, and then there would be a random letter in the alphabet with 1 artist under it. Then, it would go back to the previous letter. If you don't understand, here's a photo example:
It seems that every time I add a new artist or a new song by a pre-existing artist on my iPod, it gets out of order. Wasn't sure where to go first, so I thought I'd come here and, if no luck, I'll take it to the Genius Bar. I hope somebody can help me with this issue! Thanks.

Why is my zoom not working correctly ?

So I was browsing in my general settings trying to figure out why my iMessage wasn't sending texts to people. When in the process, I was checking things out and I clicked on zoom. Realizing I have zoom on on my iPad, I switched it on . And all the sudden it zoomed in to the bottom left corner . And I understand you have to double tap the screen with three fingers . But it will not zoom back. And I can't turn it off .

My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

Podcasts not working properly?

Nano 7thG Podcasts will either stop part way through or will skip and repeat the beginning. I've tried 5 different podcast's all from different people..

Perhaps that's why Apple posted the update!
You are probably correct when you suggest that "third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file" has something to do with it. Maybe the people who create the Apple Quick Tip of the Week haven't checked to make sure what they do actually works.
I had a video (converted by iTunes for the iPod) that caused my iPod 160GB to crash, twice. Since that video was not that important to me, I removed it and it will not go back on regardless of software updates. These things happen. However, to someone like me who grew up with vinyl records, the iPod is fantastic!

Podcast not listed in directory

Yesterday I received an email notification that my podcast has been approved. The link they sent does take me to the podcast. However, it does NOT show up in the directory itself. Any ideas why?
Just to avoid any confusion: I have an old podcast listed by the same name ("CrossWay Church Sermon Podcast"), but it's not the right one. I can't remove it because the feed no longer exists, and no one from iTunes will remove it for me--I've been trying for weeks. You'll know it's the old feed if it lists the artist as "Nathan Hyde." The correct and active feed lists the artist as "Pastor Nathan Hyde."
My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CrossWay
Thanks!

Are you trying to find it by browsing? If so, as explained below, you will not see it in Browse because the Christianity category no longer will display any new podcasts.
The problem is that many new podcast listings will NOT appear in the iTunes Browse function. For example my podcast of BOOK HOBBY will not appear in Literature, just as certainly hundreds and possibly thousands of other podcasts will disappointingly not appear in their proper Browse categories. The problem is in the way that iTunes displays browse categories. It will only display 1,000 titles in each category maximum. Anything beyond the 1,000 titles is simply not at all displayed in that browse category. So, for example, in the Literature category I can easily and quickly find dozens and dozens of podcasts that have not been updated in more than a year, which have bad descriptions, which duplicate themselves over and over, whose rss files result in errors, but my podcast which I frequently update and which follows all the rules cannot be found by browsing in the main catgeory of Literature I want it to be found in because, well, 1,000 displayed is it. It does not matter how long you wait.
I wrote to Apple about this a few months ago (late February). I had to write more than ten emails before I finally got to someone who had any concept of what I was talking about. They wrote back that they were aware of this problem and that it would be fixed "in a few weeks."
So what I have had to do was to choose two other categories that have less than 1,000 displayed to appear in and that sort of works. It only sort of works because the whole point of catgorization should be to put thing in the BEST categories. I did, for reasons of a proper power-search, keep the main category Literature.
I have to say that I am amazed that with all the FAQs from Apple that are dead wrong about this, with so many people having their podcasts not shown as they should be, with the resulting problems to users, that the whole podcast community is not talking about this on every Forum in every venue that supports podcasting. This is not just a small problem. This cuts to the heart of people starting new podcasts.
After writing the above I decided to see how widespread this iTunes bug is -- are there just a few categories affected? I was astonished at how many Browse categories now have 1,000 listings and will not, for reasons of the display bug or problem or design show any further new ones. If you are doing a new podcast in the following areas, well they already display 1,000 listings and your podcast will not appear in the Browse there. Here are the affected categories:
Arts:
Literature
Performing Arts
Design has 900, soon to be filled.
Business:
Business News
Investing
Management & Marketing
Careers has 977, soon to be filled.
Comedy
Education:
Higher Education
Training
Games & Hobbies:
Video Games
Health:
Fitness
Self-Help
Kids & Family (has 996, very soon to be filled)
Music
News & Politics
Religion & Spirituality:
Christianity
Spirituality
Society & Culture:
Personal Journals
Places & Travel
Sports & Recreation:
Professional
Outdoor (has 919, soon to be filled)
This is a serious problem. Certainly all podcasts can be found by power search. But the point of Browse categories is to allow people to discover new things, to allow them to explore all the wonderful podcasts being offered.
I am NOT an Apple basher. People who know me, know that. I founded and ran all of the Apple-related and Macintosh areas on CompuServe (the MAUG Forums) for almost 20 years. I was the founding Editor-in-Chief of MACUSER Magazine and ran that publication for some years. I love Apple, absolutely.
But I do not understand why they have not addressed this problem with the Browse categories in the iTunes store as to how iTunes displays them. I trust they will but I hope it will be sooner rather than later.
