Can't delete video podcasts from 5th gen classic

I have a 5th gen. 30gb ipod classic.  I have about 3gb of video podcasts from itunesU installed and can't remove them because they don't appear anywhere on itunes except on the bar graph at the bottom of the screen.  My ipod is full and I need to remove them.  Can I delete them directly without using itunes, or is there a way to get itunes to recognize them.  itunes and ipod are fully up to date.

I was having the same problem. But I believe I found the solution. :]
1. Once your ipod is plugged in, push SHIFT
2. In the bottom left corner a icon will change from a + to a *
3. Click this icon and a box will come up for a Smart Playlist.
4. Enter the information: GENRE IS PODCAST
5. Check box in front of limit to. Then enter information for limit to (A NUMBER WELL ABOVE YOUR SONG COUNT)(EX. 100000) and then ITEMS selected at RANDOM.
6. All of your unfound podcasts (or whatever you wish to search) will be put into that new folder.
7. Then simply click on the folder and press SHIFT and DELETE.
8. Your video gb count should prove that the information was deleted.
I hope this works out for you. When I figured this out I was so happy, it was unbelievable. haha. Best of luck :] Jane

  • I can't delete video files from library

    when selecting a video file in the music video library and pressing the delete key or trying to drag the file to the trash basket nothing happens. I already checked in the music library and movie library and both works just fine.

    I deleted the file from the music/itunes/itunes music/movies folder but the name of the deleted file still shows in the music videos playlist. how do i remove it from this list?

  • I can't delete some podcasts from my ipad

    how do i delete podcasts from my ipad? swipe left, then press delete where? unsubscribe doesn't seem to work. thanks

    If you disable syncing for the podcast in iTunes, it should be removed from the device.
    If not, go into the Music app, open the Podcasts category, tap the posdcast you wish to remove, and then swipe across each episode to delete it. Once all episodes are removed, the podcast should no longer show up in the listing.

  • Deleted Video Podcasts from iPhone no longer increment iTunes play count

    Prior to downloading iTunes 7.4 this morning, iTunes used to increment the play count of any video podcasts that I deleted on my iPhone to 1. Then refresh would naturally get rid of it. Now, the only way to have the play count set to 1 is if you "keep" the video podcast instead of deleting it. If you delete it, it will just resync the next time you dock your iPhone.
    Has anybody else seen this? Is there a fix?
    I'm going to 1) Reboot my Mac and if that doesn't fix it 2) Restore my iPhone. If that doesn't work, I'll have to leave feedback to Apple.

    Thank goodness I found your post. This bug has been driving me crazy for weeks. I've been looking for a solution and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem...I thought I was the only one...I'm so glad I'm not and that my iPhone isn't corrupted (just a little buggy)!
    I've spent hours trying to solve this on my own and never figured out that I just needed to keep the darn video. Notice too that if you use the Delete button to delete a video, and then reboot the iPhone, the video reappears in the video queue, but it is no longer playable. Very strange.
    Thanks so much for posting. Apple support said they never heard of this problem before...I guess they don't read posts or feedback. Hrumph! What do you have to do around here to get a bug fixed?!!

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • How can I delete a podcast thats only on my iPhone, not synced from iTunes.

    I have two podcast episodes that will not delete from my iPhone. They are from a show that I update (by syncing) everyday and appear on the iPhone (since October) but will not erase or appear on iTunes. Can I delete them straight from the iPhone or do I need to connect it with iTunes to delete? It is more of a nuisance than anything else. Thanks for the help.

    Yes, you can delete from iphone:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
    It is covered in the manual.
    Page 172:
    "Delete a podcast: In the Podcasts list in iPod, swipe left or right over the podcast, then
    tap Delete. "

  • I can't see some podcasts from iTunes to delete them!

    I just got my "5G+" iPod yesterday. All the podcasts that were in iTunes copied over fine. However, podcasts I had copied out of iTunes (because I didn’t have an iPod for a while) and then dragged back on to the iPod don’t show up in the iPod’s Podcast menu-you have to select Podcast as a genre.
    That’s not too big of a deal, as in the future I won’t be copying anything out of iTunes prior to transferring it to my iPod.
    The REAL problem is that now iTunes can’t see those “rogue” podcasts on my iPod! They don’t show up under “Podcasts”, and they don’t show up under “Music”!
    As near as I can tell, I have no way to delete those podcasts from my iPod!
    Any suggestions?

    iMeowbot on Macrumors came up with a great way to at least SEE the 'rogue' Podcasts-create a smart playlist and set Podcast = true.
    Unfortunatly, you can't delete items from a smart playlist, so I still can't get rid of the 'rogue' podcasts.
    For now I'm planning on listening to the rest of the podcasts on my iPod, and then doing a wipe and starting over with it, as there dosen't seem to be any alternative.
    I'm pretty surprised to see a bug this major in Apple software!

  • Cannot delete (non-downloaded) video podcasts from my iPad

    Using iTunes on my iPad, I tried to download some video podcasts from CNN and Discovery Channel. For 4 days now, I have had 4 episodes sitting in my "Downloads" section, witht the words "waiting" underneath.
    I have searched the discussion forums and the web for answers.
    I have done hard restarts.
    I have downloaded the above podcasts directly to iTunes on my computer, and tried to sync them with my iPad. It said that the iPad could not play that type of content.
    I have deleted the podcasts from my computer and synced with the iPad again.
    All to no avail; I cannot remove the 4 offending episodes.
    Please, someone, help!
    Many thanks

    Your compliments made my Thanksgiving day and left me speechless. Thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

  • How to delete video podcast without using iTunes

    My Mac is G5 PPC, OSX 10.4.11, so cannot use
    iTunes to sync Ipad; so is there a way of deleting downloaded video podcasts from the iPad?
    When headphone is connected to the iPad, should the internal speaker not be automatically disconnected like on the iPod?

    Appreciate suggestion, but does not work. Maintaining touch on the title, highlight the video, no delete check mark appears; letting go start the video playing again.
    Kappy's suggestion doesn't work for me either. Just go into the iPod App, click on Podcasts, and swipe to the right. You should get a "Delete" block on the right. That's how it works on my iPad.

  • Bug in playing back video podcasts from playlists?

    I subscribe to about 2 dozen podcasts, a few of which are video podcasts. I have a smart playlist that collects all the podcasts together, based an their Album name. I have a second smart playlist that collects all unplayed & unrated members of the first podcast playlist.
    I have my Nano set to autosync the second smart playlist. If I navigate to this playlist (via main menu->Music->Playlists)I can see the video podcast titles listed there, see the little TV symbol next to them signifying they're video, but when I try playing them, I see a single frozen video frame, and the audio plays. Rotating the Nano to landscape mode doesn't make a difference. It happens on all my video podcasts.
    But when I play the video podcast via main menu->Podcast (enabled via Settings->General->Main Menu), it'll play normally.
    Has anyone else run into this bug? Anyone able to play video podcasts via the Music->Playlist?

    This is a serious bug. I was puzzled how to play the video podcasts which were put in a playlist using the same method as yours: 1st Smartlist collects all podcasts, and the second one collects the unplayed ones. Then I synch the second smart play list. No matter what I do, I cant see the video. However thanks to your post, I now know I can see it via the much more "normal" route of selecting podcasts from the main menu.

  • Is it possible to delete a song from 5th generation Ipod?

    Hi All
    Is it possible to delete a song from 5th generation Ipod, if so, how can this be done?

    Connect your iPod Nano to your computer.  Go into iTunes & click on Music or your playlist under "Devices." 
    Delete the songs from iTunes.  Once deleting is done, eject your iPod Nano.

  • 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
