Deleting unwanted podcasts (before they download)

Hello
am struggling because all these podcasts appear ready to download and actually i DON'T WANT THEM.
Before, i could just delete them from the list BEFORE downloading. Fine. But now it is impossible to delete
them... and they show up all the time.
So am downloading them (something like 100 of them) and then deleting them but this is real weird.
So could you please show a more sensitive way to delete them?
I just hate this new iTunes and wish we could avoid the acceptance of new versions.
Thank you for caring and replying.
Isabelle

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.

Swipe sideways on the episode to reveal the delete button. Tap the gear icon to show the settings then toggle the Subscription option of then on again to refresh the feed to show all available episodes again.

You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

Deleting apps before they download

My son "purchased" numerous apps on my ipad without me knowing. Now when I open itunes on my computer it continually tries to download these apps. I pause the download, select all apps and delete them which works for the time being but itunes still says I have all these apps to download and tries again each time I open it. How can I delete these permanently so that they just go away?

I've tried that and they are still sitting in the itunes folder. At the bottom of the "downloads" page it still says there are 21 available downloads which are all these ridiculous things my son "purchased" for free. How do I get them out of there? Any ideas?

Podcast to Iphone 2.2 great but how to delete unwanted Podcast off phone ?

Am I blind or am i missing something , I downloaded some podcast on the new 2.2 software and I can't delete them off my phone they don't end up in itunes podcast only on my phone and I can't delete them please help

You are right -- I use the "Sync n least recent unplayed" option, so I guess it makes a little sense that an unplayed podcast would get re-synced to the phone, even if it was deleted from the phone (although it seems more intuitive that deleting from the phone should mean you want it deleted from iTunes as well).
However, it ALSO re-syncs even if the episode is played to completion, and the half-circle icon for partially played podcasts is gone. This makes no sense to me at all.
I would have thought that the iPhone and the copy of iTunes it connects to would be peers and sync changes to each other (as they do w/ contacts, calendar, etc). However, it seems that in the case of podcasts using the "least recent unplayed" option, the iPhone is strictly a client, and deletions can only happen through iTunes.
Weird.

How do i delete a podcast stopped mid-downloading in iTunes, iPad2?

I am downloading several podcasts and one is hung up/stopped mid-way. I want to delete it. Pausing and resuming does not function. Thanks

You and me both!
I started out with an Apple+ way back when. We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes. My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard. (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
Sigh.
I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY! I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS. BUMMER!
Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts. UCK!

Deleting Mail Messages Before They Open

Is there a way to delete an email message BEFORE it opens (to avoid potential viruses)?

This help doc http://support.apple.com/kb/ta21164?viewlocale=en_us explains that there is a difference between looking at a message in the preview pane and actually opening it. If you're only using the preview pane and delete it, it was never actually opened.

Can't delete unwanted HD downloads

first I get scammed into buying the HD for a whole tv season, because they bury the non HD option... then I find out, I can't play HD on my 30" external monitor! Now I am plagued with HD downloads, which for some reason accompany the non HD downloads totalling over 2 gigs per episode... And there's no way to get the HD versions off the computer before they download. They slow down the whole system downloading multiple gigs only to delete when they're done. Any way around this??

Scammed because you didn't see the link right on the page for the HD version that directs you to the SD version? I suppose that's one way of looking at it....
I'd suggest you contact the iTunes Store customer service and see if you can prevail on them to change your subscription to the SD only version. I doubt you'll get your money back but at least you wouldn't have to download the offending episodes.

How can i delete processing podcasts?

I've been waiting two weeks for my podcasts to finish processing.How can i delete my podcasts after they start processing?
I really need help! Thx:)

If you have another download that did not complete - Let it finish or try to delete it as well. If its a song, finish the download or the the swipe to delete feature, it its an app try tapping and holding down on it to delete it or tap on the icon to finish the download.
Eiether complete those downloads or try to delete them and then see if you can use the swipe to delete or tap and hold down on the podcast to delete them.
You can also try Settings>General>Music>Podcasts and see if you can delete them in there. Tap the edit button and see if you get the red circle to the left of the podcast.

TS1424 How do I cancel an iTunes movie purchase before its downloaded

How do I cancel movie rental purchases before they download as it didn't ask for my apple I'd before it downloaded

Welcome to the Apple community.
Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

I am not able to unsubscribe or delete ANY podcasts from my library. What's worse, almost every podcast I've ever been subscribed to has returned, clogging up my podcasts so they won't run.

I've used iTunes since it first launched and I've never been this frustrated by the software. Everytime I unsubscribe, then delete a podcast, it reappears as soon as I re-open the program. What's even worse, all the old podcasts I used to be subscribed to have returned. This is incredibly annoying to anyone who cares for an organized library, but it has also had the much worse effect of clogging up iTunes so bad it can barely run. Everytime I open it and go over to podcasts, I have about thirty seconds before the program freezes and I have to force-quit. I delete the .itl and the .xml files to start fresh, which worked for a while, until i tried to re-subscribe to the podcasts I was missing out on. Then, it all came back and I had dozens of podcasts trying to download.
From what I gather, this problem is not uncommon. Is there any solution to this that isn't hoping for a patch to fix the issue? I'm a podcast addict and I love getting my content through iTunes, but I just can't handle this. If there is no fix to my problem, perhapes a program that functions like iTunes, but isn't a complete mess right now.

A professional will image your drive and attempt a bit by bit file recovery method directly from the drive itself.
You see when you delete something, it's not quite erased yet, but the space the file took is available to be overwritten, so it's only a matter of time before that occurs and the file is really gone.
So they will recover what they can, and then restore your machine and it's software and return the recovered files.
The TimeMachine is certainly going to assist, good thing you got it.
The trick is to hire someone and quit using the computer until they rescue you, show you in person how to rescue yourself .
Good Luck

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

I purchased a soundtrack on iTunes (Windows 7) and five of the songs that downloaded get cut off before they finish playing...any idea how to get it fixed?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Podcast failed to download, can't delete podcast entry

I tried to download podcasts, but they failed, but the titles are still in download area. How to delete these files?

How can audio files show up in a smart playlist but not be listed under music or podcast?
No idea. They must be somewhere in the library, otherwise they would not appear in (Smart) playlists.
Is there any way to delete them from the library?
Select the file(s) in the playlist, hold the Option key, then press Delete.
This will normally remove the file from both the playlist and the library.
Hope this helps.
