Cannot download or watch old or new video podcasts after iTunes directory reorg

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive. That seems to have worked fine except for the issue described below.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder. I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. In both cases the video podcasts remained in the original or old folder location. In the case of the mixed video and audio it just left the video episodes in the old folder and moved the audio podcasts.
If I select a new video podcast from the itunes store and download it, I cannot view it in itunes. An example of a new video podcast I attempted to download is "MinutePhysics". The podcast will display as one of my podcasts in itunes but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. It looks like it is downloading to my hard drive but after it downloads I cannot locate the file in any directories.
In Advanced Preferences on the Advanced tab I have checked and unchecked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and that does not make a difference checked or unchecked.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. Thanks for the reply.

Old and new video podcasts no longer sync and play

Since updating Itunes and software on my Ipod classic, the ipod no longer plays video podcasts. I know there was a problem with newer podcasts in HD and so on, but even the old format doesn't play.
can anyone help?

In your subject heading you say the Podcasts do not sync. Are you saying they don't play +because they have not synced?+
If so, when you plug your iPod into your computer, check the settings on the Podcasts pane/tab. Are they still set the way you want them? Software upgrades have been know to cause these settings to be changed.

HT1689 I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no pro

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

I have Elements 9 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 v1, any help appreciated

I have Elements 0 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 V1, any help is appreciated.

PSE 9 is too old for any of the versions of ACR that support the 1 V1. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 10 or 11.
2. Use the Nikon software to convert the raw files and send the resulting tiffs to PSE for further editing.
3. Try the free Adobe DNG converter, and you should be able to open the resulting DNGs in your version of ACR.

Cannot download or subscribe to any new podcasts

I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 5, and now cannot download or subscribe to any new podcasts from the app on the phone.
I can only download new episodes of podcasts I was already subscribed to on my old iPhone, all others have both the subscribe and download buttons greyed out.

Im having the same prop, I talked with apple and the guy i talked to couldnt figure it out, his manager is supposed to call. What I am finding out is that its not the computer or itunes itself (well it could be itunes), its actually something with the itunes account is what i am geussing

Cant download video podcasts from Itunes

For some reason I'm having issues downloading video podcasts on itunes although I can download audio podcasts. I just switched computers and moved my itunes download directory, everything seems to work except Video podcasts.
I don't get an error, it says done but no download file shows up, it just keeps the icon GET on the right side.

carlos, I to am having the same issue as you, and it is extremely frustrating!! I can watch the temp file get larger and larger, then once it has finished downloading, it gets removed from the PC! Hopefully someone has an answer.

How can I retrieve video podcasts after updating to new iTunes?

Anyone lose their video podcasts after updating to new iTunes? My audio podcasts are fine but all my video is gone
<Re-Titled By Host>

I lost almost all of my podcasts as well! This was a bad upgrade!

HT204204 I cannot download apps because they require newer software, but I also cannot update my iOS 5.1.1 to 8.0...why?

I cannot download apps because they require iOS8.0 and my iPad has iOS 5.1.1 and will now let me update to 8.0! Why?

Sorry to say that you may be at a dead-end as far your your device goes. You can't update to any iOS version above 5.1.1 due to hardware limitations of the iPad 1st gen...thus, you cannot use newer apps that are released. Use the link that Niel provided. You are still able to use the apps that are currently on the device but as far as newer apps that require iOS greater than 5.1.1, you're stuck.

IPod touch 3G won't synch new videos (SD) from iTunes

My iPod touch 3G won't synch any new videos (SD) I buy through iTunes. Tried restoring it twice, software is updated, de-authorized and re-authorized my Mac I'm synching to, manually managing videos (also tried the automatic synch with 3 and 5 most recent movies), creating iPod version (option grayed out), checked to see if some audio options (like surround sound) were selected on the videos and see if they were interfering (they weren't)...still no luck. I'm pulling my hair out. Just bought the videos solely to be able to watch on the touch. The new videos (6 of them...all bought directly from iTunes over a couple of weeks time) don't even register on the multicolor capacity bar when I select them while manually managing videos. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No luck, but thx for trying. That was one of the spots I had been to before. I searched around the forums and tried everything I could find listed with no joy. I don't get any warning that the videos won't sync. All my previous videos bought on iTunes the exact same way work just fine. The only difference with these ones are that they are new (both newer content to iTunes and downloaded more recently). They will play from iTunes on my iMac perfectly, when I select them for sync onto my Touch 3G there's no indication that they even register (the capacity bar does not expand...but as if I select an older movie the bar increases to show the spce that movie will take up). If I manually select the (new) video it shows the movie as selected (minus the capacity bar increasing the requisite amount), the iPod syncs (no warnings or complaints from iTunes about the video format...and there shouldn't be, I got the video from iTunes), but the video is not on there on my iPod when all is said and done. Very frustrating . Thanks again for trying.

Cannot Download Album Artwork for Albums I Know Exist on iTunes.

Hi.
Recently I decided to clear all of my album artwork. I selected all of my albums and right clicked on an album, selected "get info," checked the box next to "artwork," and clicked "ok."
With all of the albums already selected I successfully downloaded all of the art except for 20 albums.
For some reason I cannot download the album artwork for twenty albums I know are available on iTunes.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Thanks

when you right mouse click on a song do you not see this?

Old pictures can not display after Itunes upgrade

Earlier today I updated to the newest version of Itunes. I also added some new pictures to my synched directory for pictures (this directory has approx 725 pics that were all on my phone prior to this update of Itunes).
When I synched to add the new pictures I got a message saying "some pictures could not be synched because they can not be displayed on the phone". Only 200+ of the pictures were transfered and the rest are not there.
Again all of these pictures were on teh phone before so I am not sure why they can not be displayed now. I have tried re-synching and that did not help.
Any thoughts?

I am also having this problem. I have a 160gb classic that I bought last fall. I have a work computer I've used for my iTunes synch base due to broadband access. The system had worked well enough with 64 bit XP and a few registration tweaks to calm itunes about working in that old environment. Forward to 2 weeks ago - I copy my library to the network drive so that IT can scrub the computer and upgrade me to Win 7. Computer is back up, install the newest version if iTunes, seems to come up fine. Several rounds of re-importing the library after it kept entering all the songs twice. Go to re-synch the ipod - get the 'this is a new device, erase *EVERYTHING* and re-synch. Yep yep. Sits there for nearly two hours saying it's re-uploading stuff. Then on the way home, I see - hey, a ton of stuff isn't there, lots of missing podcasts. Go check, everything is checked, new stuff downloaded, can listen to it on the PC with headphones. Then go synch the iPod - get the same 'things are updating..... synch finished'. And nothing has up- or down-loaded. Tried unchecking stuff, nada. Import new stuff, nada. Nothing Plus it looks like pretty much every CD i ripped into itunes for the past 4-5 months failed to move - maybe iTunes was saving it somewhere else than the My Music folder. PITA-factor of that aside, I'd really like to get at the last 3-4 weeks of podcasts. Any help on getting the system to actually do a real sy
My other changes in the last few weeks are getting a new iPhone to replace an old non-iPhone, so there is another devicee on the account. I don't see my iPod listed amongst my devices in the iTunes store - not sure if that's only for wireless stuff.
Help!!

Unable to Sync Video files after Itunes 9.0.3 and iPhone software update

This is my problem with Itunes- After I the Software Update program installed iTunes 9.0.3 yesterday, and I upgraded the iPhone software (to 3.1.3.) shortly thereafter. The iPhone upgrade failed (it froze). When I restarted the computer, I had to restore the iPhone and then I synced. I could not sync my video files.
The apps, music and "push" items sync perfectly. However, it ignores the Movies, Podcasts and iTunes U files.
In terms of the location for these files, all of my Library and Media files are contained in a firewire external drive. They have been there since I started up with iTunes many years ago. All worked well before the Install/Upgrade.
Problem is- iTunes ignores the pointer in Preferences/Advanced/Location and creates an empty folder, named iTunes in the Music library (in my Home directory) at every sync (even if I delete it, it recreates it on the new sync).
Question-Why does iTunes ignore the pointer, and create a new empty folder in Home?
Thanks for your help.

Apparently Apple doesn't bother to test their software updates. This problem was introduced last September and has persisted through a number of updates that were supposed to address the bug. Very discouraging. I keeping holding out hope that an iTunes update will eventually fix this feature that worked fine for years before iTunes 9 was introduced.
Unfortunately, it is impractical to go back to an earlier version of iTunes.
I have reported this bugs several times (via iTunes feedback). If Apple actually reads the feedback, they never respond.
It's not like there are other vendors or unknowns involved: current iMac 24, new iPod Touch, the latest version of iTunes and iPod OS.
So what do we have to do to get Apple's attention? Stop buying music? Stop buying Apple devices? I'd love to buy the new iPad, but I'm darned if I will if they are unable or unwilling to fix this bug...
