Can't delete old podcasts

i have an ipod 30gb. for some reason i cant get rid of a few pesky (npr) podcasts. i have listened to them months ago and they do not appear on my itunes listing -- but are on my ipod podcast menu. i've tried deleting/unsubscribing to the podcasts to no avail. this only happens with some of my podcasts -- not all. do i need to re-set my ipod to get rid of them?

Do you manually manage the iPod's contents (i.e. drag and drop content onto it in iTunes) or do you let it automatically sync with iTunes?

Can't delete old podcasts on Itunes 11. Anyone have a fix?

Help!!!   I don't know what I was thinking about but I mindlessly updated my Itunes to the new Itunes 11 and HATE IT!!!!
My podcasts don't load correctly. I have to choose each one individually to update whereas in the old Itunes I could just hit the refresh button and they would update. And worse, I can't get rid of the ones I have already heard.
I have been reading some of the "fixes" but they are above my technical skill level.   Does anyone have a simple fix for the problems with podcasts?
Apple tech guys, please STOP mucking around with things that are working just fine and screwing them up.    You are making me go closer to dumping my Apple stuff and go back to Dell.

Since it´s a new phone, could have younger firmware problems. Do a bachup and a reset, should work, nut it´s an hard solution, but I don´t remember any more soft.

Delete old podcasts?

*** please someone tell me how to delete old podcasts in the new iTunes bollocks there is no ability to highlight and delete! How can this be?

Which view are you looking at? In iTunes / Podcasts / List, there is no way to remove the items - if you mark them as played, the file will disappear from your computer, but the item will still be in the Lists pane, with a cloud icon beside it.
The "My Podcasts" or "My Stations" panes seem to be more useful at this point.
Now, if you're trying to stop them from downloading again: don't delete the podcast file in the first place. Instead, mark it as played - and that should make it disappear. If you delete it without playing it, iTunes for some reason thinks you must want it back. (Note that deleting on the iPhone still does what you'd expect it to do - delete the darn file! - but in iTunes it doesn't seem to work.)

How do I delete old podcasts that I downloaded directly to my iPod Touch?

I cannot delete old podcasts that I downloaded directly to my iPod Touch through its Wifi connection. Manually deleting them in iTunes doesn't work--my laptop doesn't recognize that they are on my iPod. What should I do? I want my memory back!

I have the same problem. I usually can delete by swiping but for some reason the delete button doesn't show up on this podcast.
I don't know exactly what I did, but when I downloaded from the iTunes store over WiFi, it just downloaded a link to the podcast so I need to be connected to a Wifi network to play it.

How do I delete old podcasts and sync new podcasts without getting duplicates

I have an iPod Nano. I've enjoyed downloading podcasts and listening to them while walking my dog. I want to delete the podcasts I've already listened to and download only those I haven't heard. If I delete old podcasts, will iTunes be able to identify and download only podcasts I haven't listened to?

You don't have to use the Podcasts app. If you delete it and sync to iTunes on your computer via USB the podcasts will appear back in the Music app. You can delete them there.

How can I delete old data in citadel

How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

Hi there,
I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
Hope this helps
Roland
PS: There is a nice link about archiving Citadel on ni.com :

Cannot delete old podcast episodes after updating to ios 8

The usual way of manually deleting old podcast episodes, swiping right to left and then selecting the red delete button, appears to be no longer available. Do I need to fix something or is there a new way of doing this function?

Have you tried swiping left to right?
Try going to Settings>General>Usage>Podcasts and select the the podcast you want to delete and tap edit in in upper left and delete the podcast.

HT203180 How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but no longer viewable?

How can I delete old rental movies that are still on my iPad, but are no longer viewable because the rental has expired?

I have a similar problem. The default answer on the web is to open Videos on your iPad, then touch and hold the movie you wish to delete, then tap the little cross that appears. Alternatively, you can connect to iTunes, select your device in the list, scroll down to the Rentals summary and delete from there.
I have a problem with both of these solutions! The Video App on my iPad does not contain any video icons, just an option to browse my shared library, so I can't delete it from there... ANd in iTunes, the movie in the Rntals tab on my device summary is greyed out, so I can't do anything from there either. But the movie is taking up 2.5 Gb....
Can someone please offer an alternative to resetting the device entirely?!

How can I delete the podcasts that I have not downloaded but show up as being in the cloud

How can I delete the podcasts that show up as being in the cloud when viewing them in the List mode? Most of these are past episode that I previously downloaded and then deleted. I know that I can look at my podcasts in Unplayed mode which removes those in the cloud but then I can't sort them first by podcast title and then by episode date the way I can in List mode. This was not a problem before iTunes 11.1 when I could simply delete those in the cloud.

That is discouraging. However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast. This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar). As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself. I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can I delete old downloads of FireFox to economise on memory ?

I have limited memory. Can I delete old downloads?

Hi PGWilli,
If you are satisfied with 8.0 then you shouldn't need 4.01 at all. As long as all your bookmarks and personal information are in the newer version, go ahead and remove the older version.

Can I delete old backups from other devices if my new iphone 6 has a current backup with everything on my new phone?

Hi there dyarrell,
You can do this if you are confident that your current device has all of the data on it that you want to keep. The method for deleting the backup will be differnt depending on the backup method. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
