Podcasts have disappeared

I recently added podcasts to my 80g iPod. Last night I watched a few of them and figured out that after I'd watched them - the little blue dot beside the title disappeared. Very cool - a way to keep up with the ones I havne't watched yet.
HOWEVER, WHERE did the ones I've watched go?!?!? Many of my podcasts have disappeared??
Anyone have a clue where they went?? Do they go to some different storage area after you watch them? If so, I can't find them!
PLEASE HELP!

This issue is due to the settings in iTunes and/or iPod.
Blue dot indicates play for episode has started. Playcount will change when play finishes. This point is important.
If iPod is set to keep unplayed episodes and an episode is partially played, at next sync the partially played episode will be removed from iPod.
Easiest thing for me has been to set iTunes and iPod to download all episodes and to keep all episodes. This way if the episode is in iTunes it will sync to iPod and stay there. After I have listened to an episode I delete it from iTunes, this will then remove it from iPod at next sync.
Another common issue is episodes downloaded outside iTunes will not be in podcast section on iPod. iTunes has a hidden setting that, so far, only iTunes can do to allow episodes into podcast section. Other episodes will be considered music and stored in music section.

  • Playlists for podcast have disappeared in the latest appleTV update!

    Does anyone know what happened to podcast playlists? After updating my appleTV over the weekend the ability to view my podcasts through playlists have disappeared. I have set up individual playlist on my Mac separating my podcast/vidcast into playlist that made listening to my podcasts on my iPod and viewing video podcasts on my appleTV or iPad much easier. Am I missing something? I primarily use my appleTV to watch Netfix and view my video podcast. With this disappearing the ability to watch vidcast has become more difficult and I will probably use my appleTV less.
    I have also noticed that ios5 took out a number of podcast features (2x speed, 30 second skip, chapters, etc.). Is their a reason they have done this, because I don't see any advantage to taking out useful features that they previously had in ios4. While I am happy with the majority of the features on ios5, what they have done with podcast have made ios5 useless for me to listen to podcast, because I always listen to them at 2x speed. Hopefully Apple decided to add these features back, but until then I guess I will have to use my ipod nano to listen to podcasts.

    Never mind, don't know if this is new or not, but podcast playlist can be turned on/off in setting / audio/video / playlist options / music only or all.
    When I updated to 4.4.1 my appleTV basically defaulted/reset so I had to set it up all over again. Just needed to look a little more. Also, with the podcast features removed in ios5, I guess I just jumped to the conclusion that it was pulled from the appleTV.
    That said, I feel apple needs to get more consistent with some of their apps on different OS's. Too many feature variation from one to another.

  • My Video Podcasts have Disappeared

    I do not have my ipod set to update any of my media, and I recently noticed all my video podcasts are no longer visible on the ipod. They are however visible in iTunes. Why is this and how can I solve this issue?
    PC   Windows XP Pro  

    Masna, I appreciate your quick response however I do not believe this will solve my issue for the following reasons:
    The video podcasts are already on my ipod. When I click on my ipod in itunes (when connected to my pc) I can watch the podcasts. They are no longer on my harddrive. However, when I disconnect my ipod I cannot "see" the podcasts. I could see them before but now I cannot. There is a little playlist icon below my ipod. I just checked the video mode on these podcasts and it is set to movie. If I set it to TV Show can I browse it on the TV Option on my ipod? These episodes were downloaded for free from the itunes music store.

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing after I download them to my computer.

    Since updating iTunes to the newest version, I have been having problems with my podcasts.  Specifically, my episodes keep disappearing.  The first time I figured it was a fluke, but it happened again and again.  Every time I close iTunes and open it again, the podcasts have disappeared even though I have all my podcasts set up to keep all episodes.  The episodes are all still listed, but there is a little cloud with an arrow inside pointing down next to each one.  There are a handful of random episodes that are still there (without the cloud and arrow icon).  I searched for the files in my computer's music folder and even the files are suddenly missing and I know they used to be there.  I don't know why this keeps happening.  Is anyone else having this problem and how can I stop it from happening?

    Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day.  All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
    Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
    This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app.  And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
    I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually. 
    RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

  • All podcast episodes have disappeared and I'm no longer ranking

    I've successfully uploaded 6 podcast episodes over the past couple of weeks and had been ranking pretty well as of last night. Today I check and my podcast has disappeared from the ranks. When I search on my podcast, it is listed with artwork and description and ratings, but the episodes are all gone. I appreciate any suggestions or ideas on what happened and what I can do about it. Here is my link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/win-the-weight-game/id677470205

    I would highly highly recommend if you are hosting with libsyn - use the libsyn feed - and not the one via powerpress.  Publish the episodes to your libsyn account - and then connect your libsyn account to your wordpress site via the libsyn Wordpress feature.
    http://support.libsyn.com/faqs/onpublish-wordpress/
    There are so many tickets on here about issues with wordpress.
    If you want your show to be in iTunes and be solid in iTunes - stick with the feed from libsyn and not from your wordpress / powerpress configuration.  In the long run you will have much much fewer issues - and libsyn support is there to help you for any issues you might have.
    Email me if you want to know how to switch to the libsyn feed.
    rob (at) libsyn dot com 
    One of the best features of Libsyn  - is offering you a feed that works all the time with iTunes.

  • Podcast app disappeared in iOS 8 on iPhone 5

    Since I've updated to iOS 8 (now iOS 8.1) the Apple Podcast app have disappeared. It cannot be found or downloaded from Appstore on my iPhone 5. I'have tried installing it from iTunes on my MacBook, but that doesn't work either. How do get Apple Podcast back on my iPhone 5?

    No one from Apple is here. This is a user to user support forum - we are all just users like you. If you would like to share your thought with Apple, do so here:

  • Podcasts subscriptions disappearing 2 weeks in a row

    This is the 2nd Monday morning in a row where all my podcasts subscriptions mysteriously disappeared.
    On my run I tried to listen to Sunday evenings Twit podcast and all my podcasts are gone! Again! I get back home,
    sit at my Mac Book Pro and all my podcasts are gone, too! Again! Just like last Monday!
    NPR, Coverville, Twit, and others ... vaporized.
    So, I go back to the iTunes store via the Mac Book Pro and resubscribe, Again. 
    Odd, when I click subscribe the button in iTunes for a podcast it doesn't indicate 'subscribed' it still
    indicates 'subscribe' though the podcast is added to my podcast library, where I have to go in and tweak the settings, Again.
    I check my Apple iOS podcast app and there back, too.
    In the press, that Apple is having podcast issues.
    Is this one of them?
    Any resolutions?
    Thanks in advance,
    OS X 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2, iOS 7

    Yesterday about 8 podcast subscriptions disappeared.
    Meanwhile, Men In Blazers keeps downloading several years of content.

  • The sounds for my iPad have disappeared....

    The sounds for my iPad have disappeared....I can play music, but everything else is gone!  I have tried turning it off and on, reset it several times and still nothing...any suggestions? 

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings

  • In the latest verision of ITunes (downloaded yesterday) I can no longer see how large (in GB's) my music library or playlists are.  This is a very valuable function and it seems to have disappeared.  Anyone know where it is?

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • All of my instrument loops from Garage band '09 have disappeared. What do I do?

    All of the insturment loops I have been using have disappeared. They don't show up in new projects, nor are they accessible in old ones that were created using the loops. I have tried to locate the loops on the HD as others have posted but they are not there. They only loops that exist there are the FX loops which I have access to. Why has this happened and what can I do? Using an iMac if that makes a difference. Also, I suspect that a software update may have been conducted recently, so this might suggest where the problem started. Can I check if one indeed has? (I'm not the only user of the computer).

    Well we need a lot more information
    like what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What recently changed? do you have a backup?
    If you depress and hold the opeion key and launch iPhoto do you see multiple libraries in the select library window that results? If you do check each one

  • Apple loops have disappeared?

    I clicked on Re-Index apple loops user library, and all my loops disappeared. I went on garageband and re indexed them again there, but not all of my loops have appeared.
    I've reindexed spotlight, I've re installed Logic, but they're still not there. Why? 130 pounds isn't cheap for software that doesn't work...
    Oh and also some of the instruments have disappeared.
    http://prntscr.com/1xwqty
    I've got a **** of a lot of work to do for tomorrow (which I NEED logic for) and I can't bloody use it.
    How do I get them back?

    So were mine (I forgot to put in "Audio") but they aren't any longer and I'm wondering why Spotlight can't see them.
