7 years of podcasts disappeared from Mac Pro, not even in trash!!??

Today I deleted podcasts while in itunes from my laptop because its my desktop machine that stores and downloads my podcasts and its annoying when my laptop starts to download a load of podcasts each time I open itunes.
Suddenly I have no podcasts on my desktop now that I have opened itunes and there is 100gig of extra free space on the drive.
Thats 7 years of podcasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Itunes didnt give any warning upon opening on my mac pro desktop.  7years of podcasts are nowhere to be seen as if itunes decided that my desktop should be the same as my laptop and have no podcasts.
This is unbelievable!
As a safety precaution it could at least give a warning that its about to delete all my podcast files on my mac pro because this is something that was done on the laptop!  But no, no warning.
And it doesnt even move them to the bin/trash so they can be dragged out.
Does anyone know how I can revert to my previous podcast list please?
There is a file called "iTunes Library 2013-11-12.itl" 13meg file which I can see in a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries" so is there a way of getting itunes to open this file and find all my invisible podcasts?
The current iTunes library file is 1.3 meg in size due I suppose to all the podcasts being dumped.
If podcasts are manually deleted on one machine then the other machine should ask before it just decides to delete everything without being asked!!!
Thanks for any advice!
Im on OS 10.6.8 on both machines

actually it was 140gig of podcasts that itunes decided to delete off the drive without asking or explaining!!

  • Audio Output from Mac Pro not working in XP

    I'm trying to make the audio line output of the Mac Pro work in XP. the only sound comes from the motherboard or headphones in front of the computer.
    Under audio devices say "realtech HD audio device" This is the Apple mac pro?
    How do I turn the audio output on?

    I think I resolved this! I had the same issues you have been having for a few months. I am actually running Vista. Here is what I did...
    1. While booted to Windows I uninstalled boot camp
    2. Re-installed boot camp from Leopard DVD
    3. Installed boot camp update 2.1 (downloaded from Apple support, i know this is for XP only, but I updated anyway.)
    4. Downloaded the realtek drivers (high definition audio codecs) from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
    5. DO NOT use the Realtek installer to install the drivers...instead extract the contents to a folder.
    6. Go to the device manager, locate the High Definition Audio device and updated the drivers from here (point to the folder where you extracted the drivers).
    I now have sound out of the rear jack!! Hope this help someone

  • 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.

  • Email disappeared from Mac Mail.

    Hello. Email has disappeared from Mac Mail. Running last updated Mavericks. I went back in the time machine settings to revert to the day before the mail disappeared, and each time I go in there, I can see the mail showing up. Except, when I go to revert, nothing transfers back into the account. Any advice on what is going on and how to fix it? Years of mail are now "gone."

    Okay, there is definitely an error message coming up in the log. I only selected a few messages from 2008 to restore. I selected just one of the error log messages I received (essentially one for each email it tried to restore). Thanks for all your help. As an aside, if it helps you to respond, I've just started a computer science degree, so I'm starting to feel my way around this stuff, but have a good cursory understanding. Not to say that your directions aren't just succinct and perfectly laid out!

  • Reposting from Mac Pro forum - rthdaud.sys blue screen problem

    Hi all, have been playing around in boot camp (gaming for the most part) and twice now have, after a few hours of perfectly fine system running, been presented with a blue screen naming rthdaud.sys as the cause. As this is the realtek audio high-def driver, I assume it's part of the boot camp driver package and should be okay.
    What would be the first thing to try? Should I reinstall the apple boot camp driver for this? Perhaps get the driver (updated version?) from realtek's website directly? Thanks in advance for any help.

    In two years running Vista 80% on Mac Pro, never had or seen an issue... possible there is something hardware wise wrong instead? or bad install?
    Apple Hardware Test run?
    In Vista have you ever run system file checker?
    sfc /scannow
    and chkdsk of course, don't know if side effect of freezes lead to file damage. Or if your hard drive just has a bad block even.

  • How to delete applications from mac pro?

    I think many people struggling at "How to delete appalications from Mac pro ,just because you made some mistakes or curious !" I know it is a bit difficut for people who are new users for the Mac .
    If you really don't want them ,you can delete them easily,
    As all you know after you download appalications from anywhere  ,it could be from apple app store or from other websites. They all can be disspeared if you don't like them .
    First , If you installed from apple app store  it will be really easily  just click at the app on the launchpad, after few seconds all the apps will be all shaking like leaves ,yes they are scared .(No No  don't delete me  I am helpful !) Ok yes  that is a little joke ! so what you can see now there is a small "x" at the top right corner .Can you see them ? just click the "x" And they will gone .
    Second step. This is only for you downoaded from other websites , In that case  , you just skip first step come to here  in order to save you some golden time .
    You can delete them from the launchpad , I have tried many times . i tried to drug them in the the trash . But after them all jump back to where they are , So you need to open the Finder ---> click the download -----> find the file which is belong to the app (make sure ) ------->click it  -----> drug it into the trash. then you can hear a little sound like you through it into the bin. it is really humanny  isn't it ? then go back to the finder again .---->click the application -------> find the icon on there which is you just drag into the trash.  do it again . take this one into the trash as well  then you will find the icon on the launchpad is disppeared . at the end don't forget to empty your trash   After that all job done , it is been deleted  ,
    Well done !
    Hope this could help all of your!
    Thanks for reading !

  • 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.

  • How do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    how do i save files from mac pro to an external hard drive

    Your external drive is formatted NTFS which OS X can read from but not write to. You can either install third-party software on the Mac to enable writing to the drive or repartition and reformat the drive for exclusive use with the Mac. If you don't need to move files between a Mac and a PC, then I would recommend the latter solution.
    Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.2
    NTFS for Mac OS X 9.5.3
    To repartition:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Strange sounds from Mac Pro

    Strange clicks going from Mac Pro soon after power up.
    It may going from memory cage when temperature of memory is rising.
    Any ideas?

    Or the graphic card if it has a fan. Or the fans if one is loose.
    You should at least for awhile monitor the temperatures with one of the free/shareware utilities. If you push the system, you might even want to boost the fans from their default.
    Try running Apple Hardware Test after you check for dust, loose cards. Could it be the PSU?

  • Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

    Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
    Thanks in advance
    Jeff

    It is 'just not working' again.
    To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
    I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
    I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
    It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
    I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
    The passwords are 100% correct.
    The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
