Can't get rid of old podcasts on ipod touch

I use my ipod touch mainly for the many podcasts I subscribe to. On the itunes settings for podcasts it's set for keep only most recent episode. I've been creating smart playlists (perhaps irrelevant) to listen to the podcasts because before when just listening to them as podcasts they wouldn't automatically play the next one - big annoyance when driving. I delete the old playlists on both the ipod touch and itunes when I've listened to them all.
Problem: old episodes are still on the ipod taking up space - which I'm now out of. When a podcast is playing there's an square symbol in the top right corner of the screen which when touched goes to older episodes which I no longer want.
Please tell be how to prevent this. Many Thanks.

I think I solved it unless someone knows a better way (likely). I went from manually manage to auto sync. That drastically increased my free space. Apparently that made the "keep only newest episode" command go from itunes to the ipod.
Once my space was freed up I went back to manually manage so I could use smart playlists again.

  • How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

    How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

    Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
    Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
    You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
    Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
    You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
    Next, create/update your itunes account.
    Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

  • I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth... Help!!!

    I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth, tried shutting off wifi on both and reseting. iPod 2 days old, 4 th gen white, iPad 2 = 2 months old

    This is happening to many people.
    For me, it's the Key Note Remote app that won't connect with my iPad2 from my iPhone4 after update to iOS5.
    Apparently this does not affect the new iPhone 4S.
    But that's not a solution unless you are planning on upgrading.
    I'm still waiting for a response from Apple but I'd advise you to go to whichever app isn't connecting with Bluetooth and hit the "REPORT A PROBLEM" button in iTunes app page for said app.
    This will go directly to the devs and should ellicite a faster response.
    Hope this gets fixed soon.
    Warm regards.

  • HT1386 I can't get my new computer and my ipod touch to talk so i cant update either to create or update playlist

    I can't get my new computer and my ipod touch to talk so I can update my playlist. They are not recognizing the music from the other device, all of which was purchased on itunes.

    See:
    Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
