Autoplay Of Multiple Podcasts

Hello.
I recently upgraded from a 3G iPod to an iPod Classic and I have noticed that the new iPod handles the playback of podcasts differently.
On my old iPod if I had multiple podcasts I could start playing one and then when that podcast finished it would start playing the next podcast in the list. The new iPod stops after playing the current podcast and doesn't automatically start playing the next podcast.
Is there a place to change this playback behavior? Since my previous iPod was so much older I have no idea if this is an iPod software issue or an iTunes software issue.
Thanks.

It seems this "fix" isn't published anywhere. I found the solution by accident for my ipod classic 6G.
Go into your ipod Settings menu and turn Shuffle "Off". When shuffle is turned off then the podcasts will play continuously.
If you want the podcasts to stop each time the end is reached then turn Shuffle "On".
It's a pain. I have to turn shuffle on for music and then remember to turn it off before listening to podcasts.

Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?

Hi all,
Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
Is there a problem?

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

Multiple podcast subscriptions?

Is there any neat way of subscribing to multiple podcasts?
It is a problem that if I am in, say, Music Store>Podcasts>Business>All, there is a huge list & I may be interested in 100 of these. The 'Subscribe' button per podcast then takes me to my own library to begin the download.
The trouble is that is is very long-winded for the next one to navigate back to the required category, find my way down the list, & then try to remember which I have subscribed to when viewing the 'Master' list. It is a slow process for each podcast, & writing the 'subscribed' down as a list seems very counter-productive.
BTW it is PC iTunes, if that makes a difference

Hi. Yes it returns to the page, but at the head of the list. I can't tell from that list to which I am subscribed, & I have to try & remember what position I was in. This becomes an issue when I am subscribing to 40+ podcasts in the list.
Maybe there is no answer & hopefully an Apple dev might pick up on it for a future issue?

Ipod playback of multiple podcasts

Is there a way to listen to multiple podcasts consecutively--like listening to an album or the shuffle setting for songs, but in the podcast catagory?
Thanks

Crashing when deleting multiple podcasts app

Te app crashed on me three times when trying to delete multiple podcasts. Just putting it on here for apple to see and bug fix :)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Multiple Podcast Libraries. Which is the correct file in the correct place? See photos.

I have multiple Podcast Libraries. Which Podcast file is in the correct place? I can combine the other Podcasts after knowing the correct path.
"iTunes New" is my external hard drive housing iTunes.
So is it:
iTunes New > Podcasts
iTunes New > iTunes > Podcasts
iTunes New > iTunes > iTunes Music > Podcasts

I would have thought this would be an easy solve for you Mac gurus.

Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to...

Can one create a smart playlist for multiple podcasts and to play one after the other on your iPod? I want to combine podcasts of the same topic in a smart playlist. When I tried to do this I chose smart playlist, album starts with, and then did it again for each podcast I wanted. That didn't work. If it can be done how do you do it?
I have a fifth generation iPod which is always updated to the latest as well as the itunes.

Say for example I want to put different car related podcasts in one smart playlist. Car related podcasts such as Wall Street Journal Car Cast and NPR Car Talk. Can it be done and if so how?

Burning cd-multiple podcasts no longer split?

With previous Itunes versions, I remember being able to burn cds with multiple podcasts on it. In such cases, if one full podcast and half of a second podcast could fit on a cd, itunes would record halfway through the show and continue the rest on the next cd.
Now it seems like, it will only copy what it can copy entirely. If only one full show can fit, then it'll push the second show to the next cd. Is there a way to change this? I'm eating through cds like crazy just to listen to podcasts.

Still not working but I have a little more information.
Rebuilding my iTunes library had no effect.
Rebuilding the preference file did have an effect:
The new preference file reset all the preferences (obviously) including where the itunes music folder is located. Forgetting to change the folder back to the external volume where all my music is kept, I tried downloading a podcast. It worked. I then tried remapping the itunes music folder to my actual music folder and it failed again, producing the same error I originally posted.
Okay, so there's an issue with my external drive. Well, perhaps, BUT, as I mentioned above, the drive appears to be working fine. I can read and write files to it, I can play music and podcasts off of it, and--here's the kicker--a different user account on the Mac, which shares the same external music volume is able to download podcasts to the drive.
So, there is a little more information, though I'm really not sure the next steps to take to troubleshoot this.

Load multiple podcasts to your iPod?

Does anyone know how to load multiple podcasts to their iPod? I assumed iTunes would push my entire podcast library to my iPod, but it didn't - only 1-3 episodes appear per podcast feed, and not even necessarily the most recent ones (and it failed to grab one podcast feed at all). In any case, I'd really like to have all podcasts available to choose from - is there some setting I can change to tell iTunes to transfer them all? (memory is not yet an issue)
Also, memo to the apple designers: a dedicated podcast menu on the iPod would be really nice. I'm surprised there isn't one already, actually, given how much the iPod menus mimic iTunes
Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPod nano recent model

uh ... explore the MAIN MENU option under SETTINGS on your ipod. it lets you select what you want on the main menu screen.
Since you haven't managed to find that setting on your own, you might find it interesting that there are lots of settings in ITUNES that control what podcasts are transfered to your iPod. Plug your iPod into your computer, select it in iTunes, and go do the PODCASTS tab. Poke around in there for a bit - I think you'll find what you're looking for.

How to combine multiple podcast folders into one

When I open itunes Podcast section I find that it shows multiple folders or podcasts with the same name. I want these to show up as just one podcast. How can I do this?
For example:
When I look at my HD>itunes>Podcast folder; I see one folder called "Ask Dave", but in my itunes podcast column it show three separate "Ask Dave" podcasts. I want it to show only one.
Similar but different example:
A podcast that I have subscribed to for several years has changed its name slightly; Podcast_Photoshop User TV, Photoshop User TV, Photoshop TV, NAPP TV.
I have 4 folders as I listed in my itunes>Podcast folder. But in the itunes window it lists 9 folders: 1 - Podcast_Photoshop User TV, 5 - Photoshop User TV, 2 - Photoshop TV, 1 - NAPP TV.
These are all the same podcast, and I'd to have just one folder / entry in my itunes window called Photoshop TV and have everything show up in one place.
Is there a way to consolidate these and others?
I'm running Leopard and iTunes10
thanks in advance for any help with this.

LIstening to multiple podcast episodes at one time

Is there a way to have your iPod go directly to the next episode of a podcast instead of going to the main menu? For instance, if I suscribe to a serial and want to listen to multiple episodes in one setting is there a way to do this without having my iPod so back to the main screen at the end of each episode? Thanks.

Hi CJS
That should work with normal Playlists in iTunes 5 (probably in iT 6):
- Chose your Podcast episodes and drag em to the left side into the Source column (new Playlist will be added)
- name Playlist and sort the episodes the way you like (e.g. click in the first column an then drag your episodes in order as you like them to play)
- Check iPod "Settings..." and chose the Music tab and select your new Playlist to update with your iPod.
- After Update has finished you should find the new Playlist in the Playlist folder on your iPod (in the music Menu or at the Top in main Menu)
enjoy listening to your Podcasts without pause
I am doing this on my iPod mini with smart Playlists (rules with PlayCount and ratings)
(does not work with new firmware on iPods older than Video iPod and iPod nano
--> see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=179445 )
PS: if your episodes are listed (on iPod) the wrong way round - go to your Playlist in iTunes and reverse the column you have chosen (click on top of the Row)

Setting the starting time for multiple podcasts

How do I set starting time for a group of podcasts at the 30 second mark. Mostly the beginning are all repetitious which I heard before.
I know, I can do that individually by going to info and set the slider. But how can I do this collectively?

I don't think you can do it on multiple files at once. Probably the easiest thing to do is to select the first one and change the setting. Before you close out of that window, copy your start time from the field and then click next at the bottom of the window and paste into that one and so on until you're done. It's not pretty, but the quickest way I know of to do it. Otherwise, you might Google Doug's Scripts and see if that site has a script that might do this.

System locks up during multiple Podcast downloads

I am using the latest 7.7 (43) iTunes and found that when I download Podcasts using the setting "Allow simultaneous downloads" my entire system totally locks up after about 1/2 hr. It's not just the Beachball effect but the whole computer just freezes up requiring I turn the computer off. A massive crash.
I have been doing some testing and utility cleaning and it seems it is pointing to that exact setting causing the freeze. It doesn't matter what Podcast I select. It only matters when there are several episodes to download for any one given Podcast and I enable that setting.
My computer never locked up before doing this with earlier versions of iTunes.
Anyone else run in to that situation?

First guess, since your fan revs up.
Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver and make sure your slider for "put computer to sleep..." is on never and that you have unchecked the box next to "put the hard disk to sleep when possible"

Multiple podcasts in Itunes

Could somebody help me to have several podcasts in iTunes ver 7? Each time I input a new url, the old one is deleted. I seem to be only able to have a single podcast.
Thank you

Another podcast play/sorting issue:
I only use the podcast "list" guide. On the list interface you have the option to adjust the settings so that the Newest episode is on top, thus when you click on the podcast you see the newest episode directly below it. I have always done it this way because its the easiest way to view things - the My Podcasts interface lists podcasts in a different order every time, not alphabetically, and is basically useless.
It is ONLY in the My Podcasts interface that the newest episodes are listed first, NOT on the List page where I asked for them to be listed first.... PLEASE fix this, or at the very least remove the option to adjust settings on the list page - you cannot adjust List settings at the moment.
The newest episodes NEVER go to the top of the list, the order never changes. it's very inconvenient to have to scroll down sometimes hundreds of episodes (which seemingly cannot be individually deleted anymore) in order to see what the newest episode is. Again, please fix ASAP, and maybe stop tinkering after that. I have not seen an "improved' iTunes version in many many years.

Music store page with multiple podcasts

i would like to have a page witht separate directories with podcats, like albums, which can be subscribed to independently. how can i create a page within itunes like this?
heres an example:

It's an Artist Page, built by hand by iTunes editors and designers. To apply for the creation of a podcast artists page, include the name you'd like it to read and the list of iTunes URLs you control that should be included in the page, and submit the request via the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/podcast/
If the Artist Page is approved, a generic page will be created for the podcasts. Note that artwork, logo, and blurb are hand-designed; resource contraints prevent the customization of most artist pages.
