Cannot delete greyed out podcasts on Ipod Touch

I cannot delete greyed out podcasts on my ipod Touch since uprading to iOS 5.1. They don't appear when connected to itunes. Scarcely the end of the world but a little annoying! I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

This appears to be a bug. The only way I have been able to resolve this myself is to unsync and resync all of my podcasts via iTunes.

  • Unplayable Greyed-Out Video On iPod Touch, Only Visible In iTunes

    I've had a greyed-out "error" video on my iPod Touch 4G for a long time. It isn't visible on the iPod itself, but it shows up in iTunes. It has the same "Album", "Show" and "Year" tags as another album of videos I have (Album and Show "Baman Piderman", year 2012). Judging from it's reported length, it is an error version of a video from that album (specifically, "Weirdy Feeling"), although I have a version of said video on my iPod, and it works just fine. I've gone so far as to copy the Media Library database from my iPod to my computer and edit it manually, but I can't find the error entry anywhere. Interestingly, the reported size of this error file is "Stream". I can give a star rating to the file, but other than that, I can't edit any of it's tags.
    I should mention that, by choosing "Manually manage music and videos" for my iPod, I can manually delete the file from iTunes. But every time I sync, it reappears, and I prefer to not manage the music and videos manually.
    Here's an image of the error file with it's "Get Info" window open to the first tab:

    After I updated to iOS 6.1, the problem disappeared. Not sure what it was, what was causing it or how to fix it. But, hey, it's gone now.

  • Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

    How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

    you can't.  The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

  • Unable to delete songs out of my IPOD

    I am hoping someone can figure this out.
    I downloaded some podcasts awhile back and now that I've listened I want to delete them out of my Ipod. When I connect to Itunes I am unable to even see/find these podcasts. It is as if they do not exist. When I disconnect again, I can find them in various places in my Ipod so they are still in there.
    There must be some way to delete them but I am at a loss trying to figure it out since I can't even see them when I connect to Itunes. I am already set to manually manage my data, I have tried to search for them, I have deleted playlists where they may have been and none of this has gotten rid of them. Maybe I did something wrong when dragging these into my Ipod after initially downloading them. I am hoping I don't have to be stuck with them wasting the memory forever since there are quite a few.
    Hopefully someone can help & figure out what I can do to get rid of them.
    Thanks!

    yes itunes 7...
    previously it was on the podcast section... but somehow either it was deleted or something, i can't find them in the podcast section... not in music, movies etc.... the only place i could find them is in my smart playlist... I can't delete these podcast from smart playlist...
    So what i did is, i have to go to my Library in my PC hard drive and manually delete these files... then go back to the smart playlist and see or try to make these files to have exclamation point in front of them... then sync my ipod and then these files would be deleted from my ipod... after syncing, I could see that the free storage of my ipod increase... because the podcasts have been deleted...
    I lost about 1gb because of this... I didn't even know that these podcasts were in my ipod... I found out about this by accident, I made a smart playlist and suddenly I saw some very old video podcasts in the playlist... can't be found anywhere, only in the smart playlist... Even until now the file name is still in the playlist, but since i delete the actual files from my HDD, it has the exclamation point !!! in front of them, I just cant delete these... it's just weird...

  • I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again.  Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes".  I am unsure how to do this.  I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

    Hi,
    Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again.  Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes.  On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again.  This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod.  Please help.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

    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.

  • I cannot open my apps on my iPod touch 4th generation. Every time I open an app it sends me back to the main page

    I cannot open my apps on my iPod touch 4th generation. Every time I try to open an app it sends me back to the app selection thing.

    Try a hard reset first. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. 
    If still no luck, try downloading and installing a new app from the App Store.  Doing so has cleared the issue up for several users.
