Podcasts in itunes but not showing up in ipod

Have recently moved my music to an external drive. When I open itunes now, it shows that my podcasts are there, and I can play them in itunes, but they are not syncing into my ipod, which is blank when I navigate to the podcasts submenu in the ipod itself.
Wish I understood. Need help!

I am having the same problem. My podcasts are there and then as soon as I add new music my podcasts disappear. It did not do this until the last itunes update I think there is a bug here. I think a patch should be in order.

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.

It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

HT204266 apps are showing in my iTunes but not showing on my ipod

Hi
I have just bought a new iPod and all the apps are showing when I downloaded from the cloud but are not functioning at all. They are showing on my itunes screen on the right hand side but not in the tick section on the left hand side where you select the aps you want to use.

How did you set up your iPod? It sounds like you set it up via wifi. In that case you can't sync apps from a computer.
Or are Restrictions set that prevent installing apps: Settings>General>Restrictions.

Music plays fine in iTunes but not at all on iPod

I have a few songs that I created in Soundtrack Pro that I have imported into iTunes. I have all of the music I created in one folder on iTunes. I just uploaded 4 new songs and they will not play on my iPod. When I click on a song (the ones I created) they skip to another song. What is causing them to skip to another song? Is it a QT thing? I saw where I do have an update waiting for me. Could that be the issue? I have other songs that I created that play with no problems. Those songs are AIFF files. I even tried converting them to AAC files and they still won't play on the iPod. I did notice that songs are getting exported from Soundtrack Pro as .m4a files and that could be why but I am not sure. I just know they play with no problems in iTunes and not all on my iPod. I DO have the latest version of iTunes as well the latest update for my iPod.
Thanks!!!

DVX100Shooter,
I am having a very similar problem, except it is happening to ALL of my music. For your case, perhaps you could try exporting to WAV from Soundtrack Pro (not sure if that is an option), and then let iTunes encode the audio in whichever format you choose. There shouldn't be any loss in quality in doing that.
As far as my situation, I have updated my iPod (5th Gen 80GB Video) to the latest firmware (v1.3), iTunes is completely updated, OS X v10.5 is completely updated. I have restored my iPod on both PC and Mac, but no luck. Basically, no matter what songs I put on my iPod (MP3s or Apple Lossless), nothing will play on the iPod. I can fully browse the library on the iPod, but when I select a song to play, it just sits at 0:00 forever. If I hook the iPod up to a computer, I can play the music off of it just fine, which indicates that the hard drive is working just fine. Adding however much music I want to works just fine. I even stumbled across the Diagnostics tests, all of which passed with no errors. To me, it just seems that the iPod wants to play the song, but for some reason the compressed data isn't getting through the decoder....or....the music is decompressed OK but won't go through the digital-to-analog converter. Anyone have any suggestions for either my or DVX100Shooter's case?

Podcast accepted by iTunes, but not showing on search results after days

I submitted a podcast to iTunes about a week ago and on the 20th I received an e-mail to say that it had been accepted onto iTunes.
Several days later, however, and it still won't show up on search results. When I search for the title of the podcast, 'At The End of The Day', it doesn't show up. However, when I search for the author, 'Leigh, Mark and Toby', it DOES show up! Obviously, I want people to be able to find the podcast through its title... can anybody please help me? Thank you!
Podcast iTunes url: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/at-the-end-of-the-day/id393735348

Turned up fine for me, though it's not at the top of the page; you have to scroll down to the Podcasts section and it's the first item there.

With your iPod connected, select it in the left-hand side of iTunes and then click the Podcasts tab. Make sure it is set to sync the appropriate podcast episodes.

Purchased itunes do not show up on ipod

I can purchase music from itunes but when I transfer music to my ipod (5th gen) they are not on the ipod. I can upload music from cds and they transfer fine. I tried reseting but that did not help. Now what?
pc Windows XP

Try playing the songs on your computer. Do they play?
Also, are you automatically updating all songs and playists?
Try going to advanced-->deauthorize computer (in iTunes). Then play a purchased song. Enter your account info. Play a few songs for a few seconds. Update your iPod with iTunes. Do the songs transfer?
Finally, make sure everything is up to date...

iPod Updater

Small subset of songs in itunes but not making it to iPod. Help!

Hi,
I upgraded my three year old Gen 2 20 gig ipod to a 60 gig video ipod. Recently it's starting acting odd. I have songs on iTunes that do not appear on the ipod. About 5 or 6 of them I understand, since they are copy protected. However there are several dozen tracks for which there is no reason i can think of. They transferred fine to my old iPod. The thing they have in common? Well, in my library, viewed through windows, they're in an 'unknown album' folder, although through iTunes the album title is just blank. It's infuriating and I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks very much,
Dan

That's a very helpful, quick and good response. Thanks. I tried it and it works as a fix to the problem. So that's something!
It is however somewhat annoying to have to give fake album names to all songs currently without album titles (about 2000 tracks). This did not occur before having updated the ipod with the latest updater, or on my old iPod.
So thanks for your help and I'll do that for now, but if Apple are reading and looking at things to change in the next software version it would be good to revert to how things used to be!

Bought video that shows up on itunes does not show up on ipod

i have many episodes that i bought from itunes that once worked perfectly but are now messed up. I can play them on Itunes, but I only hear audio and see green and pink lines. When I look for them on my Ipod, they are nowhere to be found. How can I fix this? I hope I didn't waste money on all these episodes without being able to watch them.

Podcasts are downloading, but not showing up in Itunes Library !

Hi guys.... this is d3riving me up the wall !!!
I'm running Windows XP. I recently had some work done on my computer and had to restore Itunes. Initially, nothing worked, but now the only issue I have is with podcasts.
I select the episode I want for download and that works OK. Once the download is completed, the episode is nowhere to be found in Itunes. When I look in the 'podcast' folder in the itunes library in Windows, it is not listed.
I did a search and found these references...
E:\...\Downloads\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\
E:\...\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\download.mp4 1,310,720
E:\...\Downloads\Podcasts\Fischer's Brick_PE'S Chess Cast.tmp\Info.plist 1474
Note 1) Fischer's Brick is the name of the episode of PE'S podcast
Note 2) 1,310,720 on line 2 and 1474 are the file sizes.
Note 3'E' I have set Itunes up on my 'E' drive rather than 'C' which I believe is normal. Don't know if that is relevant as 'Songs' Audiobooks seem to work ok with these settings.
If I select the second line and tell windows to open it in Itunes nothing happens. Actually, what happens is that ITUNES will start playing a song that I downloaded that day!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It's the iTunes library files which, along with the iTunes Music folder and some other files, are found in the iTunes folder that iTunes uses to know the contents of the Library.
It sounds like you may have only copied the iTunes Music folder to your new computer, not the entire iTunes folder. Can you confirm whether or not that is the case?
If that's what happened, repeat the process , making sure the whole iTunes folder goes along for the ride.

Ipod touch 4g detected in itunes but not showing the ipod touch control panel

i just setup my ipod touch 4g on ios 5.0.1. It's detected in itunes on the devices side bar but when i click it just a white screen stating "ipod" comes on the itunes window. help ! i cannot sync anything onto it

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

My ipod touch 4th gen works on itunes but not show on windows do i need a driver?

When first time i connect my ipod touch says that the driver for this hardware did not pass windows logo test so i did not installed, and now i need the driver so windows can use it as a storage device anybody knows where or how to get that driver back. helpppp.

iPod Touches do not have a disk mode. However, you can se the iPod in Windows explorer in order to move photos from the iPod to your computer. You probably need to reinstall iTunes and install the unsigned driver.

Have downloaded my library from a portable hard drive to itunes but not showing in library on home site please help windows 8

trying to download music from portable harddrive and wont go to I tunes library saving as I tunes link. working on windows 8..... Please help

I'm not sure if iTunes will like to run those files if they're on an external drive. Honestly I've never tried. Have you tried dragging a few songs, maybe an album, into your 'music' part of your drive, then try to import them into iTunes?
I moved computers a couple of months ago and that's waht I did, saved my music to a portable drive, then dragged it back onto my C drive and into the music folder, then imported it into iTunes.
