Podcasts missing from Music Playlists

Front Row playlists used to show the same tracks as iTunes playlists, but in Leopard, Front Row fails to show podcast episodes in playlists. I just installed iTunes 8.0 and Front Row 2.1.6 on OSX 10.5.5, and the problem persists. What is the best workaround to let podcasts show up in Front Row playlists?
This question has been asked in other forums without reply, so I am hoping someone in the Front Row forum can address it:

Here's my workaround in iTunes 8, but it's kludgy and only works for audio podcasts:
1. Set "Preferences > General > Import Settings..." to something sensible (I like MP3 / 16kbps mono / 11.025 kHz for small files and MP3-CD compatibility, you may prefer higher quality).
2. Change "Podcast / is true" to "Genre / is / Podcast" in all smart playlists (right-click a smart playlist name, select "Edit Smart Playlist").
3. Open a playlist with podcasts you want to work with Front Row. Use shift-click, option-click, or cmd-A to select all podcast episodes in the playlist.
4. In the Advanced menu, select Create MP3 Version or Create AAC Version (as set in prefs). Wait for iTunes to rip copies of each item.
5. To remove doubles from smart playlists, delete the originals from the main Podcast list or add "Podcast / is false" to smart playlists.
6. Select the playlist from Front Row > Music > Playlists. It should now have your podcasts.
7. Tell Apple you need Front Row to show podcasts in playlists again.

Is there a better way?

I eventually noticed that when I plugged in the iPod, the sync preferences for Podcasts were set to something "odd" - they are now set to include ALL episodes of ALL podcasts.
Even so, they remain missing from any playlist, however, they are available on the iPod from the podcast menu.
The only way I've got the podcasts to appear in a playlist on the iPod was to do Get Info > Options > Media Kind change to Music (instead of Podcast). Then it all works OK.
iTunes 8 showed no such problems.

Sync Audiobooks playlist, then podcasts, then fill up from music playlist?

Hi there,
I'm running a MBP with Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.
My questions is about syncing itunes with my 2G iPod nano. I have the iPod to sync automatically with a couple of podcast and audiobook smart playlists, as well as a traditional music playlist.
Each time I sync, the size of the podcasts/audiobook playlists changes and sometimes goes over the space available on the iPod. Sometimes Itunes tells me this and says "Itunes will sync as many songs as possible", sometimes it just tells me there isn't enough free space and cancels the sync and sometimes it volunteers to turn off podcast syncing, which is what I specifically don't want. I haven't been able to figure out why I get different messages at different times.
What I'd really love is to get iTunes to be able to sync first the audiobooks, then the podcasts and then fill the rest of the iPod from my playlist. Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks very much.

Is there a way of doing this?
No.

ITunes Content missing from Music Player on iPhone

Certain iTunes content that I sync to my iPhone 4 is present on the device, but missing from certain categories in the Music Player. For example, I have an many albums from the The Rolling Stones, when I search by artist, pull up The Rolling Sones, certain albums are missing, even if I select ALL SONGS they aren't even listed there. I know they are on the device because I can find them by searching by album, or by just doing a general search on the iPhone. This is not just an issue with one artist, it's many. I have done a full restore with no luck. What's the deal, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If yo are not using a VPN or similar that would locate you in another country:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect to another network
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Podcast Missing from New AppleTV...

Anyone else notice that that section is missing from the GUI of the new appleTV? are they really getting rid of Podcasts? I'd be sorry to see that go as i'm an avid user of Podcasts.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was concerned about this, I would say 50% of my usage of my current Apple TV is video podcasts. Interestingly, reviews never talk much about this but I find you have pretty good on demand content via podcasts.

ITunes suddenly missing all music, playlists, etc. HELP!

I turned on my iTunes this morning & when it opened, everything was gone. It was as if it went back to factory (original) setings. No music, no playlists, nothing. My music files are still on my external hard drive, but it's as if I have never imported them into iTunes. I did nothing between yesterday & today (did not update software, etc.). Can anything be done? How do I get all my music & playlists back on iTunes? My playlist system was extensive, so this is quite a trauma. I am lost - please help. Thanks!

First your software (Other programs not iTUnes) could of been updated without you fully knowing. Alot of software, especailly antivirus, have a "Auto update" feature of some kind where it updates itself when your PC is online.
That said, you may have a corrupt library that iTUnes can not read or it just lost its "Link" to the iTUnes Library file. In this case you will have to recreate the library by going to the link below and following the instructions

Why is Podcast missing from the Music App. in iOS7

I'm dissapointed on the fact that Podcasts are no longer supported by iOS7's music app.
I used it on a daily basis and its hard for me to believe that Apple purposely made this change. I hope this is just an error which can be acceptable and hopefully fixed soon.
Apple..... I hope you're listening...

Which is a horrible app that shows every **** podcast you subsctribe to, whether or not you have a new episode, and doesn't let you arrange them properly to only show unplayed episodes. It's also a completely needless app since the Music app handles podcasts just fine.

List/Column Browser view missing from Music in Itunes 11

The preference to 'show list view in all media types' is checked, and list view shows up everywhere except where I need it most - in music.
Anyone gotten it to appear?
That's a pretty big bug to miss. I *REALLY* hope it wasn't a deliberate design decision.

There is sort of a way to get that old UI back: smart playlists
I use "genre" as a selector:
Show sidebar and "Artist list" as viewing style:
It is just a work around, needs plenty of time to set up, does not work with remote Apps on iPad & iPhone, nor does it help managing your music on iDevices.
Some thoughts about the new UI:
Music is an emotional experience and logic + brain should not be involved.
Listening to a large music library with iTunes 10.x is like:
What is my mood ? OK, select genre, get a list of artists - hmm, OK, today I like to listen to "XXX"
Listening to a large music library with iTunes 11 is more like:
What is my mood ? OK, select genre (if I find the settings) and BAM Thousands of Albums get slapped into my face. Help !!! I can't decide because it is too much. OK, OK, STOP, I DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC NOW. (it is a really unpleasant feeling).
The default way to handle things in iTunes 11 now is the search field. But this is like:
What is my mood (emotion)? Hmm, which artist / song fits into this category (logic, use brain, need to remember, no emotional support but stress) ? Type name into search field (again brain, not emotion)...
There are some work arounds like smart playlists as described above, but they only work on the Mac, not on the iPad. And once upgraded to the new UI it will stop working on the iPone, too.
The old 3 column view made it easy to stay on the emotional side and did support my decisions without involving logic and brain. The new interface forces me to use brain and logic when I want to travel on emotions only. So Apple, please
bring back the 3 column view: Genre:Artist:Album (the one on top of the title view is simply wrong on a large screen & library)
bring back the old appearance as an option
and while you are at it, please heve a "genre" for iPhone/iPad Apps, to.

ITunes audiobook downloaded but missing from Music app

I purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes but it does not show up in the Audiobooks section of the Music app.
It shows up on the device when I enter the title in the iOS7 Search bar (so it definitely downloaded).
It will play when I tap on the Search hit (so it downloaded successfully).
When I tap the "back" button while it's playing I get to the "Audobooks" page in the Music app: but the book isn't shown in the list of available titles!
So it's on my device but can only be accessed via Search.
I've force-quit the Music app.
I've hard-rebooted by iPhone 5.
I haven't synched to my Mac in 2 years (not even sure my Mac iTunes is up to date)

The exact same thing happened to me - I downloaded an Audiobook and it entered a black hole. This is ridiculous! I even tried pluggin it into my iMac and transferring purchases to my computer and then syncing it again that way and it did not fix the problem. It seems though that other audiobooks that I did purchase on my Mac and then transferred to my iPhone worked fine, but I'd rather not have to plug it in to my Mac.

Identifying A File Missing From A Playlist In The Master Library

I organize/store all my song files from the master library (about 2,100 files at this point) into playlists. Through some cross-referencing I have realized there is one song file in my master library that's not in a playlist (UUUGH!!!) This situation was easily resolved in iTunes 6 but the method I used is not available in iTunes 7 (big suprise!!!). I would appreciate any tips folks have in easily resolving this issue in iTunes 7. Thanks!!!

A smart playlist that gathers all files NOT in any one of your playlists will work, as described here. It's a pain to set up if you have many, many playlists.

Podcast missing from iTunes

Our podcast of 6+ years is gone from iTunes. We received no information regarding this and resubmition results in the "This podcast has already been submitted" message. We have been in the top 5 in sports and the top 100 overall every year since starting this show (as high as #5 overall), and it seems as though all is lost now with no information as to why. We had a 4.5 star rating with over 500 reviews.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.

This used to be the url to the store web version: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fantasy-football-guys/id133077131

So, I emailed podcasts 'at' apple.com and they replied with this:
Hi Lyle,
Your podcast is currently live and can be found here:

No explination whatsoever. It was definietly gone before, but now I can see everything that was there before and we are showing up in search results again. I have a feeling someone fixed something. Just glad it's resolved.

Storing Podcasts separate from Music

I would like to store my podcasts I subscribe to in a separate location than my itunes music. Is this possible?

somewhat possible...
If you tell iTunes not to manage your files (Preferences -> Advanced tab) and store your music files somewhere other than "My Music" (the default location), then your podcast subscriptions will continue to download in the My Music area.

Ios8.3 radio missing from music

i cannot find anything even remotely related to radio since upgrading to 8.3.

I Have trawled through every context in menus and settings, even checked iTunes for possible options.
nothing...

Resolved. I closed off the app from the multitasking section (swipe music app up ) and restarted the music app and the radio reappeared. Yeah!!!

Why are my songs missing from my playlists using match? How can I fix it?

On my mac mini, iTunes shows my playlists as expected. It also shows the iCloud icon (also expected). However, when I use my iPhone to try to sync/download a few of the playlists, there are no songs in them. I even tried adding songs AFTER I finished the iTunes Match and only one of the eight songs showed up in the playlist on the iPhone, even though all eight had successfully been loaded to iCloud through iTunes Match. Any ideas / suggestions?
Thanks!

I think I am having the same issue. I had a number of songs on my phone. I signed up for Match, and switched over my iphone library to Match in settings. Everything was fine, all of my playlists synched to itunes.
I then decided to free up space by deleting all of the previously stored songs from my phone. After I did this, all of the songs that were once on the phone vanished (rather than appearing with a cloud symbol). All of the songs that were in the cloud prior to the delete are still there, but none of the songs deleted from the IOS device are there.
Everything looks fine in itunes.

Itunes Radio missing from music player

I have an iPod Touch (5th gen) 16GB, iOS 8.1. I checked the music app for the radio feature and found out that it wasn't there. I tried closing the app by double tapping home and swiping the app up, then i re-opened it, but that didn't work. I need help with this, please.

"Podcasts" missing from Store front page

Does anyone know why Apple made this change? When you scroll down there's no Podcasts category, and there's no Podcasts button next to "Music" "Movies" etc. across the top. The only way I can see podcasts in the iTunes store is to search for specific topics and scroll through the results. Very weird if you ask me, podcasts are one of the main things I download. They used to be listed next to other categories in the iTunes store, and now they aren't even listed on Apple's "itunes charts" website.

The link is only there when upgrades are available.
