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?!!

  • 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

  • How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
    First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
         I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
          I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
    Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
    Thankyou for your time.

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound.  How can I fix this?

    Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound.   The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays.   How can I fix this?

    Is this using a specific app or apps?  Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

  • Video syncing from iPhone to iPhoto to iTunes to iPhone, problems

    I recently took 50 or so video or pictures on my iPhone 5 while on vacation. Once home, I synced them into iPhoto like I always do, and deleted the files after import. I then synced my phone with iTunes, where (in the photos section) I choose to sync all events from the past 12 months, with the 'Include Videos' checkbox checked. This is how I've done things up to now, and its always worked.
    However, this time, two of the videos will not sync back to my phone. I get an iTunes error saying that they are not in the correct format. This is bizarre, since several videos taken before, between, and after them sync fine. The 2 videos are not exceptionally long or short compared to others that sync successfully.
    Has anyone seen a trick or workaround to make iTunes sync these videos?

    Check to see if the phone has enough free space on it.  Go to Settings->About on you iPhone and see how much free space there is.  It's likely that your phone is out of free space.  You could also try using a free peice of software called Pic Share It, to drag and drop the video directly to your iPhone wirelessly.  Here's a video showing how it works.

  • Trying to figure out how to delete podcasts from Iphone

    How to delete podcasts from Iphone without internet connection?

    Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
    If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.

  • 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
    Andrew

    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.

  • How do I delete my podcast from the itunes store?

    I submitted a podcast to iTunes, but have since deleted the account on the website I was using to host the podcast. Whenever I try to use the report a concern option to delete the podcast from the iTunes store, it tells me to go to the RSS feed and change it, but I cannot do this since I have deleted the account to the website where I would change the RSS feed. What should I do?

    Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to remove the podcast, explaining that you cannot access the feed. In any case, as I assume the feed is no longer accessible by iTunes, the podcast will get removed eventually anyway.

  • Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Why can't I delete a pic from iPhone album in ios8?

    Now that you mention it, my parents don't need to see my playlists, either.  Hadn't thought of that.
    I accidently stumbled on an "ad-hoc" workaround that helped me.   The downside is that it only works with smart playlists so it may or may not work for you.  But here it is anyway:
    Smart playlists will not be uploaded to the cloud if they refeence another playlist on the cloud.  So I created a "catch-all" smart playlist and added a reference to that in all the smart playlists I don't want to share. 
    I also noticed that playlists with more than just music are not uploaded.  You could add a short video or something to the playlists that are only for the iMac.  This obviously won't work if your daughter needs them on her iDevice. 
    I know these aren't good solutions, but I hope they help someone. 
    Cheers,

  • Can't find downloaded video podcast on iPhone

    I have downloaded a number of video podcasts from iTunes. I have synced them onto my iPhone numerous times, but now I can't find them on the iPhone.
    I have tried going into iPod button, and looked under both Video and More (looked in all the categories, including Podcasts). I have tried to use the iPhone search feature to find the video podcast.
    I have also tried going into iTunes, Podcasts and right-clicking on the video podcast and selecting "Create iPod or iPhone Version", but I receive an error saying "One or more videos were not converted because they are already in the correct format."
    Can anybody help???

    Question, did you watch these podcasts in itunes? If you watched the video podcast in iTunes before syncing, you need to change your settings on your iphone through iTunes. When you connect your iphone, look for the tab about podcasts and deselect the option to sync only unwatched videos.

  • Issues with Downloading/Viewing video podcasts from NBC News

    I am currently experiencing a problem with downloading video podcasts from NBC News. On my iPad 3, white iPhone 4 from Verizon, 3rd generation Apple TV and my mid-2012 15-inch MacBook Pro, it takes forever to download any kind of video podcast from NBC News. For example, on my iPad 3, it has taken over 35 minutes to download 7 MB out of 131 MB of video. The same thing happens on my iPhone and MacBook Pro. This has been going on for about a week now. Audio Podcasts from NBC News are fine. Other video podcasts play instantly.
    Trying to play an NBC News video directly in iTunes on the Mac, or in the iOS podcast app, or trying to play it on my Apple TV is no better - the video is extremely slow to load with lots of stops and goes.
    The problem also extends to NBC's iOS apps. Videos continuously try to load and do not play in the NBC Nightly News app for iPad for example. And, videos take forever to load at nbcnews.com, nbcnightlynews.com on my Mac.
    I feel like there is something wrong with NBC's content. Has anyone been experiencing this same problem? I have not rebooted my wireless router or modem, I do not think that would do any good. Rebooting my devices do not make a difference.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • How do you delete voicemail messages from iphone 5s

    I'm trying to delete voicemail messages from iphone 5s.  Based on visiting previous discussions on this subject, I've tried "resetting network settings" and "turning airport mode ON, deleting messages, then turning airport mode OFF" -- to no avail. I'm receiving an alert that I've reached capacity...please assist. I run my business on my iPhone and right now I'm missing opportunities.
    Thanks in advance for your expediency.
