All Unplayed Podcasts - Not Syncing

Seems like there is a problem with syncing and Podcasts. iTunes is reporting 167 unplayed podcasts but the iPhone was only syncing 60 of those. I updated to the new iTunes today and that helped (iphone now sync's 123 unplayed podcasts) a little but I am still not getting all of the podcasts.
I've got the 16GB iPhone with 10GB of free space so space shouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any fixes?

I sort of had the same problem. I usually transfer podcasts manually to my Touch. Recently, (not sure if it was before or after updating iTunes) I couldn't transfer podcasts at all. I tried manually and with sync. The only thing that would happen was about a one second long "syncing" message on the Touch's screen. After syncing, all of my podcasts were gone. The Podcast section was totally empty.
Two days ago I found out that my podcasts were actually in the Touch. They showed up in the browsing window of the Touch. The Touch was treating the podcasts like a music genre. To make the podcasts available to play (since they were actually on the Touch) I made a playlist of the podcasts. They now show up on the playlist where I can play them. Apple certainly needs to look at the newest iTunes and fix this podcast problem. It is an annoying fix.
To see if your podcasts are on your phone or not use the browse button on iTunes while your iPhone is highlighted on the directory on the left side of the screen. If your podcasts are there you can make a playlist in iTunes and set your podcasts in there. The will then transfer over.

  • How do you create a podcast playlist and get all unplayed podcasts copied to it?

    How do you create a podcast playlist and get all unplayed podcasts copied to it?

    Creat a Smart Playlist in iTunes (File -> New Smart Playlist) that looks like the following:
    Once you have successfully done that you can set it up to sync to your iPod Shuffle from under the Shuffle's Podcast configuration tab/pane in iTunes.

  • Why are my podcasts not syncing with Apple TV when all devices connect to the same Apple iD?

    Does anybody have an idea as to why my recently updated Apple TV does not sync my podcasts from my Apple iD. It's supposed to, it's not doing it, and it's very annoying.
    This is only half the aggravation; the other half is that all my podcasts have been deleted automatically twice(no apparent reason other than perhaps a bug in iOS 7.0.2 / 11A501).
    This one I have managed to comeup with sort of a temporary fix while Apple fixes this: I made a copy/backup of the "Podcasts" folder inside the "iTunes Media" which in turn is in the "iTunes" folder Within the "Music" folder in my Mac. When my Podcasts are deleted, I just drag the backup "Podcasts" folder I created into the My Pocasts in iTunes.
    Apple please fix it.

  • Unplayed podcasts not marked with dot at top level list

    Hello,
    Since I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.2, I've been having all kinds of trouble with podcasts.  Here's the most recent headache.
    Today, my "Podcasts" item in the side menu on the left says there are 6 unplayed episodes.  When I click on "Podcasts", there are only 4 podcasts marked with the blue dot indicating that they are unplayed.  Where are the two additional unplayed podcasts?  It turns out that there are two podcasts that have unplayed episodes, but they're not marked as unplayed in the list of podcasts.  If I click on the arrow to the left of the podcast name to expand the list, I can see the unplayed episodes there, marked with a blue dot.
    So, for two (and only two) podcasts, unplayed episodes are marked with an unplayed blue dot next to the individual episodes, but the top-level listing for that podcast in my list of podcasts doesn't show the unplayed blue dot.  There are two issues with this.  1) These "hidden" unplayed episodes don't sync to my iPod (i.e. only 4 podcast episodes went to my iPod this morning, even though I have 6 unplayed episodes), and 2) I can't tell which podcasts have unplayed episodes without expanding all of the listings for my podcasts, which is obnoxious.
    I previously solved this problem by unsubscribing from the offending podcasts and resubscribing.  However, the problem is back now.  I'd really prefer not to have to delete and resubscribe every week.
    Are there any other better podcast handlers out there than iTunes?  I'm getting so tired of the slow decent into the abyss with this bloated, dysfunctional piece of software.  Every time a new release comes out, something breaks or some feature I use is taken away, replaced with some iOS-centric Apple-store-linked "BUY NOW" button.  Ugghh.  I just want to play my nerdy NPR podcasts in peace, Apple.
    Thanks!
    Adrian

    Did you ever figure this out? I just realized I posted a similar question. 9 months later and no Apple staff have answered this question nor have they fixed this (if it is a bug)? Not particularly impressive.

  • Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

    Hello all.  I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
    It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer.  So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer.  I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
    I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have.  None of the video podcasts synced.
    Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
    Thank you in advance!

    Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
    Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine.  Just the video podcasts are not.
    Thanks.

  • Podcast not syncing because bit rate is not supported

    For some reason 3 podcasts will not sync because the bit rate is not supported. How do I fix this so I can play them on my iPod. They are Video Podcasts.

    Loaded HD is the High Definition version, intended for the Apple TV device. You cannot play this version on an iPod.
    Look in the iTunes Store for the non-HD version - that should play. If you have trouble finding it, use the *Search iTunes Store* facility and it will appear in the Podcasts section. You may need to "see all".

  • HT4527 Followed all steps - phone not syncing with new itunes/new pc

    I have followed the steps in this article for moving itunes to a new computer. I had no problems with loading my music, itunes folder and mobilesync backups to an external drive and copying them all to a new pc. (Windows 8). Installed itunes onto the new computer and plugged in my phone and restored with last backup. All went well with that. The computer is authorised with my account.
    THE PROBLEM:  Now when I plug in my iphone 5 to new itunes/ new windows 8 pc, it does not sync. It goes through 3 of 3 steps in about 2 seconds saying syncing, but not really syncing. I tested by adding a new app through the itunes and then synced phone. It didn't add it to the phone. Then I deleted it and added an app to the phone through the app store on the phone. When I synced the phone itunes failed to recognize a purchase on the phone that needed to be added to itunes.
    So the itunes and phone are not actually in sync with each other and I don't know how to correct that. I have an ipad with retina display which needs to be added but I don't dare until I figure out what the problem is with syncing the devices to the new itunes/computer. It sees my phone when plugged in - I see my 4 pages of apps on the apps tab. I do not see my email accounts listed on the INFO tab. It just says "your contacts/calendars are being synced with your phone over the air." In the block where my accounts were listed on the old itunes/computer it is empty on this one. The phone is continuing to download email though.
    Any help in getting the phone and new itunes in true sync again would be much appreciated!

    Same problem with a mac. My computer will recognize the iPod on the desktop and itunes even opens up when I plug it in, but the iPod doesn't appear on the iTunes menu and won't let me sync.

  • Help - iCal All Day Events Not Syncing on Exchange 2007

    When I enter an all day event in iCal it does not sync to my Touch Pro 2 through Exchange 2007. I see the event in OWA and also in Entourage through Sync Services but it simply does not come onto the TP2. All day events entered in Entourage or OWA DO show up in the TP2. Strange but very frustrating because I like to enter my events using Launchbar which works with iCal only.
    I don't think I had this problem with 10.5
    Greatly Appreciate Help.

    I've noticed a similar problem. Previously, "all day" events listed correctly in both iCal (on my Mac) and in the calendar on my iPhone. Now, all day events on the iPhone cover the entire day, set to a time of 12 am to 12 pm.
    I'm not sure if this is related to 10.6.4 or my recent update to iOS4 on the phone.

  • Help with Sync Calendar with Outlook all appointments do not sync..

    I am not a super tech but I do have some pretty good skills for a girl, if i do say so myself.... however I am So frustrated.. I need help.
    This is my very first public post.. So I hope I give all the info that will help, but if I missed something, please let me know.
    Here is some background info:
    I have a BB Bold
    I do NOT use it on an enterprise (network) 
    I sync my bb with my dell 
    Windows Vista (UGH!!!)  
    Microsoft outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
    My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason I have a bb
    My contacts are FINE
    My calendar is a MESS
    I have 2 separate email addresses working though my bb.. For the purposes of his post I will refer to them as  
    [email protected]  and  
    [email protected]  
    When I make appointments in my work calendar, I do one of the 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB
    Schedule my gmail address as an attendee to the appointment or
    Forward the appointment to my gmail address from my work email
    When I make appointments directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu>New = my gmail account defaults as the "send using"
    BB Info:
    When I am in the calendar and I select >Menu.Options> Calendars> I have 3 options
    [email protected] which has (518 entries)
    Device Default  which has (157 entries)
    [email protected] which has (429 entries)
    When I go to Menu>Options>Advanced Options>Default Services>(CICAL) is [email protected]  it shows that I have the options to select my Gmail OR my .mac address
    Here is the problem - this did not used to happen, and I quite honestly didnt realize that my backup was messed up so i have NO idea how long this is going on.
    When I sync with Outlook
    There are only 518 appointments that are synced
    I cannot get the other 157 (device default) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook
    Can anyone help me get them all on my gmail calendar? or into my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB 
    I do not sync my bb with my mac
    Here is what I have tired:
    Screaming at the computer
    Screaming in spanish at the blackberry
    ignoring them both
    I have restrained myself from throwing both of them against the wall.
    but seriously
    I have set the BB desktop manager to do a one way sync > bb to outlook = NOTHING Only the gmail syncs
    I have changed the (CICAL)  to my mac address and performed a sync = NOTHING - only the gmail syncs
    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    We shall then forget about the MAC records.
    Outlook contains the 158 records from the Gmail associated calendar.
    The default calendar records need to be cleared and restored to the Gmail associated Calendar.
    The resulting Blackberry gmail associated calendar will then be synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records
    resulting in synchronized calendars on both Outlook and the Blackberry.
    Read this over, I suggest more than once. Method three is what we are going to do.
    Let me know tomorrow what questions you have with the procedure so we can make sure we are successful.
    KB16063 Unexpected results occur when synchronizing with a BlackBerry smartphone that has multiple CICAL service records.
    Let me know how it goes!

  • Podcast not syncing

    I am hoping someone can help me understand why only a few of my podcast are sync'd between my iphone and PC.  I have the latest versions on both, including iTunes and I am unable to see several podcasts on my iphone?  Any ideas?

  • My iPod has deleted all its music (not synced to itunes)

    Hi,
    I just updated to the new iTunes and my iPod has deleted all its content.
    My iPod is not synced to my itunes or laptop, so I just manually put it on.
    Has my music been lost? If so, can I get it back? Anyone know how it deleted by itself!? I was uploading music, ejected the device and when I went to play music there was nothing on it.
    Thanks

    An iPod has a hard drive inside. Like a hard drive in a computer, it can have data corruption that cause files to be lost. It is really not wise to keep music and other media on the iPod without it being backed up on the computer. You can easily break or lose your iPod, or the iPod could have data issues like the one your experienced.
    The cause may be a hardware problem. It can also be data only, which means using Restore on your iPod may make it work properly again. The only way to know is to use iTunes to Restore the iPod, which will erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software.
    Going forward, you should store your media on your computer and sync it to the iPod. Additionally, you should back up the valuable data (and not just iTunes data) on your computer.

  • Podcasts not syncing to Podcasts folder on ipod 80gb

    I have subscribed to 6 podcasts and they do sync to my ipod but they go into the Music folder rather than the Podcast folder. How do I get them to sync into the Podcast folder going forward, and how do I get them out of my music folder. I thought Apple was suppose to have intuitive software and hardware, but this ipod is a ***** to figure out. I love it, but the documentation *****.

    Thanks for your response. I had added them all as Subscriptions from itunes, so that didn't seem to be the problem. In the time between posting my question and your reply, I was able to get the Podcasts into my Podcast folder on my ipod, but they are still appearing on the Music folder also, even though they do not appear in my iTunes library. I assume that I'll have to erase everything on my ipod and reload to get them out of my Music list unless anyone knows how to delete items from the ipod one at a time.Very frustrated.

  • Podcasts not syncing correctly w iTunes

    Despite my settings to just sync unplayed episodes of selected podcasts, my iPhone shows ALL podcasts and includes episodes that have been marked as played already, even after syncing. Any solutions on getting the iPhone to work properly? I don't have this issue with my iPod.

    I found a new Sync Subscriptions settings in Settings->Podcasts which when turned on fixed my problem.  I leave "Use Cellular Data" off, so the syncing didn't kick in until I got phone on free hotel WiFi.

  • Some video podcasts not syncing, why?

    i haven't been able to sync (or even watch in itunes) some video podcasts, specifically several episodes of the ricky gervais podcast, and all 3 of his "podfather" podcasts.
    i can see them listed in my itunes library, but when i try to sync them to my ipod... nothing. they don't show up.
    another issue is when i try to watch an episode of the podfather within itunes, i just get a still image of the chapter while the audio plays.
    why can i not get these things to sync to my ipod???

    Don't know about the iTunes playing issue. Perhaps there is a problem with the podcast.
    As far as syncing them to the iPod, with the iPod connected to iTunes and selected in DEVICES, click on the tab for PODCASTS (in the main window where the tabs begin with SUMMARY). Make sure you're set to sync all.
