Applescript for iTunes: "show all available episodes"?
I use the script "Update Expired Podcasts" from Doug's iTunes Scripts (http://dougscripts.com/423).
In order to circumvent a bug (IMHO) in iTunes, I would like to do "show all available episodes" (in the right-click menu) for each of the podcasts in the list, before actually downloading the latest episode.
Could some kind person please explain to me what the correct applescript command for that would be?
I have already searched the net, and I have also searched the dictionary in Applescript Editor, to no avail.
Regards,
Gabriel.
Apparently this still isn't a thing? Figured I'd ask again for myself and the 19 other people who also have this question.

Show all available episodes of a subscribed podcast without downloading?
I have the podcasts I am subscribed to set to automatically download any new episodes, and automatically delete them once they have been listened to/watched. This works well enough, but when they are deleted, those particular episodes are no longer listed in the available episodes. I know I can click "show all available episodes", but when I do that, they are automatically downloaded again. iTunes apparently thinks they are new, and that I haven't listened to them yet. Is there any way to maintain a current list of all available episodes in my subscribed podcasts? There are older episodes (ones that haven't been downloaded since I have subscribed) still in the list, that iTunes apparently doesn't consider new, but any that have been downloaded and listened to since subscribing, are removed from the list when auto-deleted, and I can't get them back in the list without them being automatically downloaded again. I hope this makes sense. I tried to contact apple support, and the guy that replied had no idea what I was talking about. I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.
I think you misunderstood my question. What I want to do is have ALL available episodes in the list, even the ones that I have downloaded (automatically because I am subscribed), listened to, and deleted (also automatically because I have it set to delete played episodes). I just want a complete list of episodes including the ones I have already heard, but those episodes, once auto-deleted, are no longer listed, and if I "show all available podcasts", they are downloaded again.

Why does "show all available episodes" fail to do that?
I have been able to do this before but now, on all podcasts, 'Show all available episodes' displays nothing.
What have I done wrong?I think you misunderstood my question.

How to show all available podcast episodes in iTunes 11.2.2
Since I upgraded iTunes to 11.2.2, I can no longer view a list of all available podcast episodes. It used to be available from a right-click on the name of the podcast itself.
For example, I subscribe to PBS Frontline audiocasts. I had deleted an old episode that I wanted to hear again. When the option wasn't available, I unsubscribed, deleted all old files, then re-subscribed. Now only the latest episode appears and there's no option for showing or downloading old episodes. I can't seem to even find the settings that instruct iTunes whether to download "latest" or "all" episodes.
Any idea what's become of these commands? Have they been removed or tucked away in some other place on the interface or menus?
Thanks.Hey SteveFH,
In iTunes 11.2.2 you can find what was previously called "all available episodes" now in the My Podcasts tab.
How?
(1) In the iTunes Sidebar (the list of folders on the left-hand side that shows folders like Music, Movies, Podcasts, etc.) click on Podcasts.
(2) Just under the iTunes Toolbar click on the My Podcasts tab
(3) Select the podcast name you wish to work with
(4) With the podcast you wish to work with selected, click on the Feeds link in the Title area.
(5) Click the cloud icon of each podcast episode you wish to download.
Note: Some of the names I've given to things in iTunes may be my own and you may need to reread these instructions if I've gotten the specific names of things wrong, such as 'Title area', etc. But you should be able to follow along well enough.
Best Wishes! -
Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out
Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out. I have downloaded and installed Itunes 11 (multiple times) and restored my phone twice already, but I am still not able to sync my Iphone 4 with Itunes.
When I select / de-select Apps on Itunes to remove from the phone the "Apply" button does appear, but after I click it nothing happens. Then the greyed out "sync" button just appears again.
Anyone with some advise please?Try Restarting or Resetting your touch.
Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears and turn off your iPod. Press the sleep/wake button and hold it until you see the Apple icon.
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The red slider will appear first, keep hold everything until you see the Apple icon. Release the buttons.
Check your iPod and see if your music and apps have reappeared. If they do after either option, then resync your iPod.
If neither works, then Restore your touch through iTunes. -
I added a custom ringtone . Then later I tried to add another three set but now after sync . Am not able to get rid of the first one... It's still there as my custom ringtone. But my iPhone in iTunes shows all four... But the phone shows only one...?
Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

HT3702 I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free?
I am being charge for itunes but all apps are free? It is possible to get money back?
If you are referring to the temporary store holding charge as described on the page that you posting, which is 'charged' each time that you change the card details on your account, then it should disappear off the card within a few days or so - though it varies by bank, and with it now being the weekend it might an extra day or two. If they haven't disappeared within a week of them being made then you could contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
Also some apps may be free to download but they then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features within them - you can turn off in-app purchases via Settings > General > Restrictions on your phone. -
List View Web part not showing all available views for list
We have added a list view web part to a page, and we get the "Current View" link in the web part...which is configurable when modifying the actual web part.
What we'd like to see (instead of having to click the ellipses button/context menu to get the other views) is the views displayed horizontally like when you are viewing the list itself.
When viewing the list itself, we see "All Items" "View 1" "View 2", etc.
Is this possible in the list view web part to display all available views in a horizontal/breadcrumb layout? Please advise.The below works via alert, just need to now assign data to a <DIV> or element for display.
Trying this in simple webpart code snippet to get back all views:
<script>
var viewCollection = null;
function runCode() {
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
var web = clientContext.get_web();
var listCollection = web.get_lists();
var list = listCollection.getByTitle("MyListName");
this.viewCollection = list.get_views();
//var viewInfo = new SP.ViewCreationInformation();
//viewInfo.set_title('MyView');
//this.viewCollection.add(viewInfo);
clientContext.load(this.viewCollection);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySucceeded() {
var viewInfo = 'Tasks list current views: \n\n';
var viewEnumerator = this.viewCollection.getEnumerator();
while (viewEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var view = viewEnumerator.get_current();
viewInfo += view.get_title() + '\n';
alert(viewInfo);
function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
</script>

Podcast not showing all the episodes in my feed
When i created my podcast i think i selected to only keep the latest 10 episodes by mistake. How could i correct this without deleting my current podcast and resubmitting a new feed to itunes?
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
right now its showing episodes 44 and up. i'd like it to start at 1 and keep them all.
Thanks for the help.
MarciTunes is indeed using the second feed you list but this immediately redirects to the first feed when you enter the URL in a browser. Presumably you have a redirect in place on the server? There are 115 episodes in the Store, and though I didn't count the ones in the feed they seem to match. So it all seems to be working and you could probably just leave it alone - since you have added episodes to the feed and iTunes has (presumably) picked then all up, the redirect seems to be working there OK. (Next time you add an episode to the feed, make sure it does indeed appear in the Store - after a couple of days - and when subscribing - this latter is immediate).
If you really want to change iTunes to the feed directly you are going to have to go through a bit of a process:
1. Copy the feed at http://construct.wickedbad.net/feed/podcast to the other location at
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
2. Add the redirect tag to this copy feed as indicated here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
3. Remove the server redirect.
4. Leave the copy feed in place until iTunes has swapped over (check this by subscribing from the Store page, clicking the line for your podcast (not an episode) and clicking the 'i' button at the right-hand end. -
My auru script to show all available updates with versions and install
So, I decided to hack together a little script that might be useful to someone else too. I wanted to script that would show me all available updates, from from the official repos as well as from the aur. I also wanted to see at a glance what the installed versions of each package and the new version to be installed are.
The output looks something like this:
[shaun@shaun-asus-x202e ~]$ auru
Available updates from core:
vlc 2.1.2-2 2.1.2-3
Available updates from AUR:
ansible 1.4.3-1 1.4.4-1
Would you like to install all updates without further prompting?
y/n->
Here's the code that I put into a dropbox shared file called arch_functions and source it from ~/.bashrc. Replace the test_apacman function and associated commands with aur wrapper of choice. Once this is in place, I simply run auru once a day on all my machines and I get all the information I need, and only press a y or n in order install all updates.

Last edited by senorsmile (2014-01-20 04:41:14)For someone with a username like yours I would have expected better. I guess you are not a "tech guy" at all. After a while Apple improves the hardware, and updates iOS to take advantage of the features and speed of the newer hardware. Older devices are simply incapable of taking advantage of the newer features, because the hardware doesn't support it. There's a lot of advice posted in the forum from people who warn that you shouldn't upgrade an iPhone 4S to iOS 8, because it kills the performance. If that's true, imagine how iOS 8 must perform on an iPhone 4.
By your reasoning I should be able to run Windows 10 on a 1985 IBM PC. The only reason you can't is because Microsoft had a deal with hardware manufacturers to force people to get new computers.
Or are you arguing that Apple should never improve hardware, because it will leave users of older phones in the lurch? -
Why doesn't ITunes show all my music in my computer?
I have 11,482 music files in my computer for a total of 37.1 GB. When I bring up my music list in ITunes, it shows 1197 songs and 5.27 GB. Why is ITunes not showing all of my music? In instructions, it says I can drag my music into the list, this could take forever?
I've been having the same problem since the upgrade to 10.4. Most of what I try to add to my Music Library is simply not showing up. These files are not corrupted, they're the same files I had on the last version of iTunes. I'm simply trying to reorganize all my music, so I started over, but this update has ruined my efforts.

How to show all available fields in the SQL Worksheet's Code Assist pop-up
I have table with many fields and wanted to scroll through the fields list by typing something like:
select a. from test a
The Code Assist pop-up (after the 'a.') that shows the field list shows '...' as last available field before '*'. Many fields are not shown on the pop-up. I have to click on the '...' field to tell the pop-up to refresh itself with a full list of fields. Is there a way that I can configure SQL Worksheet to always show all fields on the pop-up, instead of having to select '...' on every attempt to add a field to the select SQL?Sure, happens to everyone ;)
Not the case here, but often the OP gives credit to the first to respond rather than acknowledging everyone's effort and time invested, which of course is independent from posting order. Add that to the nicely conceived, but badly implemented reward point system. Should have moderators for that to work as it should. Sooo many questions remain unanswered and/or unrewarded. I even think you're the most underrated helping hand on the forum. Let's hope time will rectify all that...

I had some updates for my mac mini and so I updated and when it reboot I checked iTunes and all of my data was gone. I have a 2TB External HDD that contains all of my iTunes data and before the latest Sept. 2012 iTunes update I had the folder located in the advanced tab of itunes located on my external HDD. After the reboot and the new iTunes software was installed it defalted to my HDD on my mini and nothing that was there before the update was no longer there. All of my music, playlists, podcasts, folders, movies etc. was gone. I have redirected the library file locating back to my external HDD but it still is not working. HELP!!!!
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Windows images, but you get the point. Depending on the age of your library the library file might not include the .itl extention. Make it match the file you are replacing.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Report not showing all available fields
I am running CR2008 against MS SQL Express. I have several tables with fields and data in them and can create standard reports to show all the data in all the fields. However, when I try to create a cross-tab report, only some of the fields appear for me to choose from.
I created a standard report with all the fields I needed in my cross-tab report and ran a preview. Everything was there. I then added a cross-tab object, selected the tables only to find that fields that are in the main report are not showing up for selection in the cross-tab.UPDATE: I exported the entire database from MS SQLExpress to MS Access and I am having the same issues, so it does not appear to be a problem with the database engine and, since the standard tabular reports show the fields, I am at a loss as to why they don't show up in the cross-tab or the Parameter fields.
I am creating the cross-tab through the Cross-Tab wizard. Is there maybe a bug in that? Is there a way to create it otherwise? -
Can iTunes show all of an enhanced podcast's written content?
Is there a way to see in iTunes the all the written content (descriptions often including hyperlinks) that I can read when I playback a podcast on my iPhone? If not, do you know of any software that will do the job? I just find it annoying to have to transfer an enhanced podcast such as this one to my iPhone if I don't want to miss anything:
http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2012/01/lv
