Podcasts disappearing from Ipod

For some reason, a few months ago, my podcasts started disappearing off my ipod, it is an 80gig classic, so i prefer to leave them on there, i have checked in podcast settings that it is set to keep them, and i can't see any pattern emerging as to when or why they will disappear, they still exist on my hard drive and on itunes, but not on my ipod.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem when my old Keith and the Girl episodes. iTunes kept syncing them to my iPod causing iTunes to keep turning off Podcast syncing because it ran out of room even though I listened to most of them.
My solution was to turn off Podcast syncing in the iPod settings and just creating a custom playlist (and also set where Playcount is 0" to work around the Podcast bug that causes a file to be marked as played just when it's started). This also meant that I had to add "where Podcast is false" to all the other playlists, but at least I don't miss my Keith and the Girl episodes anymore AND it also works around iPod marking the file as played when I didn't complete the episode.
Also, in the sync options for the iPod, I turned off sync all music and did individual smart playlists.

  • Podcasts disappear from Ipod Classic

    I recntly purchased the ipod classic 120gb, and dowloaded a number of podcasts which I have been playing. However, yesterday I was viewing one (podcast) when the ipod froze for about 15 seconds, when I was able to go back into the menu all the podcasts disappeared except the one I was viewing.
    Can anyone, someone, explain why this has happened?????
    I love my ipod!
    I need answers.

    It sounds like you use the Sync function to update your iPod (that is the best way). There is a setting which controls which Podcasts stay on your iPod, and it's this you need to change.
    Connect the iPod to your computer. Highlight the device <your iPod> (left hand side bar) and then click on the Podcasts tab. On that tab, change the various options to the one you want. It probably says "Keep all unplayed episodes" which means it will remove a Podcast from your iPod when you have listened to/watched it.
    Change these settings to (for instance) "Keep all episodes" or "keep last x episodes". (I'm currently using my laptop which does not have my iTunes installed so I may have the actual wording wrong - but I hope you get my drift.)

  • I DOWNLOADED A NEW ITUNES VERSION AND MY PODCASTS DISAPPEARED FROM THE LIBRARY

    When I downloaded the second to last version of iTunes to a Windows PC, my podcasts disappeared from my iTunes library and seem to be elsewhere in my computer. Yet iTunes still says I have 80 podcasts. And podcasts still download to somewhere in my computer and sync to my iPod. However, there are some that are on my iPod that I can't find on my computer so I can't delete them. I don't know where to look other than the search function, which hasn't shown me all the podcasts that are stuck on my iPod.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes a couple of times. No luck. A new version of iTunes came along and I downloaded that. No luck. Don't know what else to do.
    Any help appreciated.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • Podcasts disappear from aTV after listening

    Bit frustrated! Can any one tell me if I can stop podcasts disappearing from the listing on my Apple TV after I have listened to them? I want to listen to some more than once.
    There must be a way; I find it difficult to believe someone has decided we will want to listen to any given podcast only once.
    This is a problem since iTunes 10, but I stress this may be because have just noticed it happening - I'm not saying it's definitely an iTunes 10 issue. I have podcast syncing switched off (so they all stream from my Mac), but I have tried syncing and the same thing happens.
    Thanks,
    S.

    Yes; YOU may have tried it and the problem didn't appear for YOU. Thank you. I note you're not using a Dual PPC Mac, or OS 10.5.
    I was requesting help from others who may have the time and inclination, so I could tell whether or not YOUR setup is unusual in some way. I'm not satisfied with anecdotal reports from only two people (you and me). Please don't put other people off helping me.
    I feel its too early to say how likely it is that the problem is specific to my media files: If my media files (downloaded just like everyone else's are), iTunes, the Mac or the aTV have suddenly started behaving oddly, on their own, then I feel it's slightly more likely to be a bug somewhere than anything else. I'm trying to find out for sure, though.
    And remember, some one else is having a not too dissimilar problem.
    Do you know how I can report a bug?
    Thanks again,
    S.

  • My notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    My Notes just disappeared from IPOD and Mail.  It may have been after a sync.  Can anyone help me recover them?

    Looks that something has gone wrong with the reset as you still have Firefox profile folders with a date/time stamp that a reset creates, but are using a regular default profile.<br />
    Such a new default profile is likely to have been created because of a problem with the profiles.ini file (if profiles.ini is missing the Firefox will create a new default profile).
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    You can look at the time stamps or check the name of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • Previously synched audiobook disappears from IPod

    I downloaded an audiobook purchased from Audible through Amazon last year. At that time I synched it to my IPod. Now it has disappeared from the IPod, but still shows up in ITunes. How do I get it to sync again? I tried syncing only what was checked and being sure that the audiobook was checked, but it still didn't sync although my checked music, podcasts, etc. did. What else should I try?
    Thanks.

    Yeah I'm running into the exact same frustration. It seems like iTunes keeps losing authorization to play my audible book (despite me giving it a user name and password) and at first, it synchs as expected. But then, several synchs later, it seems to deauthorize itself and although the book is still in the audiobooks library it removes itself from my iPod Touch. At least, until I click on the book in iTunes and, again, authorize this computer again. Frustrating, to say the least - maybe someday the book will actually be on my iPod when I plan on listening to it?

  • HT3281 Podcasts disappeared from iTunes library and iPhone podcast app.

    All of my Podcast subscriptions and content suddenly disappeared from my iTunes library and from the Podcast app on my iPhone.  Checked iTunes to make sure it's running the latest version of software, and it is.  Music library appears to be OK.  How do I fix this and get my podcasts back?

    This just happened to me this morning. I sat down to update my podcasts, and discovered that every podcast I was subscribed to that had any recent episodes (I'm thinking since the first of this year, but no way to tell a definite date for sure) had disappeared. When my iPhone synced, they disappeared from it, as well. I looked them up in the iTunes Store podcast directory, and had to resubscribe to every one of them. And some of them only make a limited number of old episodes available in iTunes, so I've lost some without ever getting to listen to them.
    *** Apple? This is nonsense!

  • I just installed itunes on new computer and songs disappeared from Ipod

    I just reinstalled itunes on a computer that had a bug and was cleaned up and cleared out.  When I reinstalled itunes and it sync'd all my songs disappeared from my ipod. how do I get them back

    That is correct.
    You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything abck on the coputer, then you would sync them to your ipod.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, njot good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Photos disappear from IPod

    When I synch new photos onto my 32g the albums previously loaded disappear. Sometimes they disappear spontaneously after the auto synch when I attach the IPod to my Mac. Is there a way of preventing this?

    I have one folder of folders of photos loaded onto my ipod. When I go to the itunes page and open the Sync photos page, there is a line at the top that says "Synch photos from:" and a selection box. There is a check point to the left of the title which I assume is checked to confirm that I want to synch photos from the folder selected.
    What happens if I want to add (choose) another, different folder from my Mac? Does that "uncheck" the folder already synched and installed on my ipod?
    Thus far I have found nothing that provides an opportunity to "save" on itunes or the ipod, inspite of fearless experimenting with various inputs to try to raise the possibility.
    Yes, I have downloaded and read the User Guide and in fact have had my first PDF of it disappear from my computer without permission to parts unknown in spite of Spotlight; another first since acquiring the ipod.

  • All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

    I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
    I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
    I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
    Has anyone else experience this?
    Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Best wishes

  • Album art disappears from ipod touch

    Album art for both complete albums and single songs often disappears from the device when uploading new music. However, the art work still appears when you look at the individual songs; i.e., when the device is connected to the computer, you open iTunes, highlight a song and click Apple-I > Artwork.
    Also, song order for albums and playlists often gets thrown out of whack. Songs ends up alphabetized.

    I just thought about if the music file recognize the song on iTunes store OR every song file that you have album art on then that should be no problem, the only problem is when some of the music/song which is not from iTunes store or they don't have any information for the song, so that will not have album art show up on any of your ipod device unless you add the album art yourself on iTunes when you import song into your iTunes from the file in your computer.
    cheers

  • MUSIC DISAPPEARING FROM IPOD CLASSIC FOR NO REASON

    Some of my music has disappeared from my ipod classic (160GB) for no apparent reason, ANY IDEAS WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN?

    Sometimes the database files or the files themselves become corrupted.  Usually in this case, it is necessary to either resync the content via iTunes or restore the iPod to factory settings in iTunes.
