Deleting Podcasts that I've produced

OK folks...if you can help me with this...if you go to podcast section in iTunes and enter DirksOutdoors in the search...you'll see three podcast shows that look exactly alike but one ( the most recent upload) has the three podcast shows that work fine. The other two are inadvertant and I need to delete those...the podcasts on them are not active or even downloadable as you will see. I only want to keep the third one now that I know what I'm doing on the upload.
How can I delete those other two podcast shows so that I can reduce the confusion to potential listeners...??
Dave

I see what you are describing!
Here's a page from Apple on various podcasting issues...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
And here is the pertinent section excerpted...
If you are the feed owner and the feed that is listed in iTunes is not under your control, you can attempt to contact the owner by finding the feed URL and examining the code for contact information. You can also contact iTunes by navigating to the podcasts page (where all of episodes for the podcast are listed) and selecting the Report a Concern link. In the Choose Reason list, select "is mine and I would like it removed from the Music Store" and provide a detailed explanation of the problem as well as contact information.
I hope it helps!

Itunes won't delete podcasts that I've played on my ipod, only itunes

I have itunes setup to delete podcasts after its played and it works great. However, since I use my ipod more to play podcasts, I would also like Itunes to sync up with my ipod and delte podcasts that I've played on the ipod.
Does anyone know how to set this up?

Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

I have deleted podcasts in itunes, but how do I remove them completely from my 4s? Not unsubscribe, but REMOVE, I have deleted podcasts in itunes, but how do I remove them completely from my 4s? Not unsubscribe, but REMOVE

OK, so I have gone into iTunes on my desktop computer and completely deleted podcasts that I no longer want. I synced my phone (4S) but the podcasts are still showing on my phone. I am already unsubscribed, but I want to totally DELETE them. Why is this so hard?
Also, why doesn't Apple bring back the right-click delete option in iTunes?

Under "My Podcasts" swipe down to reveal a search bar, to the left will be an "EDIT" button. Press and delete the ones you want. I agree it's not very intuitive, should just be like any app, hold down and either move or delete.

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

How do I delete old podcasts that I downloaded directly to my iPod Touch?

I cannot delete old podcasts that I downloaded directly to my iPod Touch through its Wifi connection. Manually deleting them in iTunes doesn't work--my laptop doesn't recognize that they are on my iPod. What should I do? I want my memory back!

I have the same problem. I usually can delete by swiping but for some reason the delete button doesn't show up on this podcast.
I don't know exactly what I did, but when I downloaded from the iTunes store over WiFi, it just downloaded a link to the podcast so I need to be connected to a Wifi network to play it.

When I delete podcasts from the library, it is still on my shuffle. It used to delete it from the shuffle, too. How do I fix that?

Helo utahskierdave,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to delete podcasts from your Apple TV that have already been deleted from iTunes. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the following post and using the troubleshooting steps within.

A deleted podcast is still somewhere in itunes? can't find it?

I thought I had deleted a particular podcast but I noticed that this one kept syncing to my ipod and showed up on the apple tv. When I went to the folder through finder I found this podcast was still on my system although I saw it nowhere in itunes. I deleted the file manually.
Now, when I sync my ipod, I receive the message that this particular podcast could not be found to be synced. I've done a search by name through itunes and can't find any reference to this now deleted podcast or why it's attempting to sync it.
I've repaired permissions just for kicks. I've re-booted for kicks. Nothing helps.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks.

more info...I have a smart playlist that syncs certain podcasts that I've put a star next to. I did find a reference to this podcast in the smart playlist which means it is noted with a star. But, when I go to the podcast directory, it is nowhere to be found. I can't delete the reference in the smart playlist b/c it's a smart playlist.

Deleted podcasts in Finder, still show up in iTunes, how to remove?

Well, I rummaged a bit in the old threads and found some stuff... but I'm looking for a simple solution. I'd like to delete from iTunes all the podcasts that I had deleted via the Finder.
I can figure out which ones if I laboriously, manually, click play and am then prompted that iTunes can't find it. What a drag! When I do that, it changes the symbol to a !.
The problem is that I thought Refresh would do fix everything! Instead that changed all those ! to solid buttons! So, I'm in worse shape than before!
Is there any way of asking to iTunes to double check its own list and delete anything from its listing that it can't find?

For some reason I couildn't edit my previous post! Hmm.. don't know why.
In any event... I tried Remove Dead Tracks. At first, I thought it doesn't distinguish between podcasts that are listed but haven't been downloaded yet and tunes that have been deleted from the finder but are still listed!
It was reporting 91 dead tracks, but I've only deleted a handful via the finder. (Well, so I thought. It's pretty clear on further inspection that I had, in fact, deleted that many-- I had deleted one folder of dozens upon dozens of 1 minute shows.
So, I'll have to try it in the future if this happens again... though it doesn't give the option to delete them one at a time, but rather says it will delete them all-- just like Super Remove!
Still, appreciate your help!

Can't delete podcasts from iPod Touch!!! They still remain using space!!

Ok ok, look. I can make them not SHOW UP anymore, but they are STILL ON THE IPOD.
If I make a smart playlist where podcast=true and move it to the ipod, i can SEE they are still on the ipod!! But you cannot delete files from the smart playlist!!
I dont want to delete them from iTunes because I want to still have them archived on my computer.
If i deselect all podcasts from the sync menu, then sync, they are only removed from the podcasts display on the ipod... the actual files are still taking up space on the ipod
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS. some of us WANT manual control of the files, not just sync this and that.
right now, my ONLY solution I can find is to restore the ipod, reload all my music i want to keep, reload my apps, etc etc.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE SOME PODCASTS!!!
Does ANYONE have a workaround?!?!

just to say, you can delete items from itunes, and still have them stored on your computer, just click 'keep file' and it will be removed from itunes yet still be stored in the podcast file (or songs etc.)
i'm not sure whether this will solve your problem, and i haven't had much experience with smart playlists, so i'm not sure how to get them to do what you want, but I have some podcasts that i want to sync automatically, and others that i don't. last night i worked out how to do it.
1. my ipod is set to sync manually
2. under the podcasts tab, it is set to sync '10 least recent unplayed' (there are several different options to choose to your requirements) episodes of selected podcasts.
3. in the podcasts boxes, the ones i want to sync are checked.
4. these now sync to my ipod.
5. but, because i am manually managing my songs etc. i can still drag and drop any others that i want to my ipod.
but i'm a bit confused. you are using smart playlists to transfer your podcasts to your ipod. as i say, i'm not too familiar with smart playlists, but is there a reason why you don't just drag and drop them to the ipod/sync them using just the podcast syncing feature?

Deleting podcasts from iTunes library AND iPod?!? HELP.

I have 61 podcasts on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
I didn't want them anymore, so I unsubscribed and deleted the podcasts from iTunes.
I synced to my iPod, assuming that the files would be automatically removed.
But they weren't.
I've tried checking and unchecking "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPod device page.
I've tried checking "Sync all episodes of:.." and then not checking any podcasts.
It's not worked so far. My iTunes is up to date and everything..my iPod charged..
Im wondering HOW do you delete podcasts - or any other music, videos...etc - from your iPod and iTunes?
Please help! Reply soon, I'm in desperate need.
Thanks.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

Cannot delete podcast on iPod

Hello,
I need to add me into this AD, I cannot delete Podcast from my iPOD, using different computer and manually sync, deleted Podcast on my computer (all), but older Podcast still appear in my iPOD and even if I re-subscribe to the Podcast, the Podcast will not be visible in iTunes or even is able to be deleted. Please get a workaround done.
KN

By accident (I have read the manual), and I have found a solution.
You've saved some Podcast on your iPod but these Podcast doen't appear in your iTunes Libary so you're not able to delete them from your iPod.
Just opoen the Folder Movies/Podcast on your iPOD
The Podcast will be shown on your iPod
Swipe with your finger from left to right or rigth to left over the podcast; you will see that your iPod will open the "Edit" menue were you're able to delete selected Podcast.
Have fun.

How to delete podcast header in Podcasts app?

I am using the Apple iOS 6 Podcasts app on my iPad. I have some podcasts that I listened to and then deleted. There are no more episodes in the podcast series, but the header for the series (name of the podcast, artwork, etc) still appears in the podcast list showing "0 episodes". I want to delete this podcast header, but cannot see how to do it. Does anyone know how?
As FYI, I do sync my iPad to the iTunes library on my Mac. The podcast is not present in my iTunes library - it only appears on my iPad. I thought that sync-ing my iPad to my iTunes library would make the podcast header disappear, but it does not.
Thx

1. Tap Edit
2. Tap the minus sign to delete

Is there a way to delete podcasts on an iphone without having them reappear on every sync?

I want to delete podcasts from my iphone after I am done listening to them, which works like a charm. The problem is that every time I sync, it download them again! For some reason the Iphone and ITunes refuese to talk to one another to ackowledge that I have deleted a particular podcast and Itunes dumps it right back onto my phone.
It's like a vampire that keeps coming back.
Is there a nice simple (Apple should be good at that...) way to delete them once and for all? I looked for a "When I delete songs I really mean delete" checkbox but there is none.
Why would they allow you to delete something if it will just come back and clog up your memory on the next sync?

joge2013.
Same thing here with me!!
I like to have auto download setting on my itunes so i get the latest 'Harvard Business Review' podcast. I started getting into podcats about 6 months ago and think they're great!
I downloaded them all as there is some catching up to do!
I want the latest podcasts downloaded.
Podcasts that I have listened to partly or fully gone off my iphone! and not synced back on
Podcasts that I have chosen to delete off my iphone, not synced back on (some weeks they discuss a topic which really does not interest me in my field.)
..I dont want to manually tick them all either!
Any help appreciated!
It seems to make perfect sense for me to manage these this way from my iphone (as a podcast is for listening on the go!), yet doesnt seem possible?

Deleted podcasts return when syncing with itunes

My podcasts sync perfectly from itunes to my ipad & iphone. However, when i listen to an individual podcast or delete the entire subscription from either my ipad or iphone i have aproblem. They are deleted from my device but when i next sync with my itunes on my pc, all the deleted podcasts or subscriptions are put back on my device. I want them to be deleted from my Itunes not put back on my device. Obviously i dont want them any more. When I delete an app from my device, it is deleted from my itunes library for that device. I know it is still in itunes if i need it but itunes doesnt keep putting it back on my device. How can I get podcasts to either act the same way as the apps do, or get itunes to actually delete the podcasts i have deleted from my device??

Are you using the "Podcasts" app on your device? If so, then that app manages all your podcasts locally on your device.
If you aren't using the Podcasts app on your device, then your podcasts will be managed by iTunes, and updates downloaded to your device whenever your sync it with iTunes. Deleting an episide on your device will temporarily get you space back on your device, which might be helpful temporarily in case you need the space for something. The next time you sync, iTunes will repopulate any episides that are missing from your device, unless you've marked them as played already, or otherwise changed something in iTunes to prevent them from copying back to your device again (delete them, take them out of whatever smart playlist you are using to send podcasts to your device, etc.).

Deleted podcasts, now getting constant sync errors

Apparently I deleted a podcast (maybe unsubscribed?) a while back and now everytime I sync my iPod, I get the error +"Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "...", were not copied to the iPod "..." because they could not be found."+
I understand what is happening, but there is nothing for me to delete in iTunes to tell it everything is ok. I thought maybe if I just downloaded those files again then it would find them and I could try deleting again... BUT those particular podcasts are not available any more! I even tried faking it out by making bogus mp3 files with the names it was looking for in the correct iTunes Library folders, but it still didnt work. Im at a loss here.

I'm having the exact same problems. Those missing podcasts are not in my main podcast list. But the strange thing is, in my "0 stars" smart playlist, those missing, unsync-able podcasts do show up. I can't delete them there in that smart playlist, though. And I can't find them in Windows. It's like they're phantom podcasts that won't disappear, but aren't actually there to sync, and they're not physically on the hard drive anywhere. Itunes just thinks they're still around for some reason...
