Duplicate Podcasts and iTunes U Podcasts

Does anyone know how I can search for and delete duplicate podcasts? the File>Display Duplicates option only seems to be available for Music files.
Gerry

If you cannot get your audio books to play on your 4th gen shuffle, hit play. While songs are playing hold down your VOICE OVER button until you hear names of songs and keep holding it. When you hear the title of your audio book or podcast you wish to hear release the VOICE OVER button. Hit PLAY one time. I spent 50+ minutes with apple support & they were finally able find out about the VOICE OVER button. Wish that was on the directions in the first place.

  • Itunes Crashes - Duplicate Podcast Libaries

    I have a problem where itunes created a new unwanted 'podcast library'.
    Now when I try to update or refresh any podcasts in the original 'podcast library', itunes crashes.
    I have a mac mini powerpc G4 operating osx 10.5.8. My version of itunes is 10.6.3.
    Here is what happened: I suscribed to a new podcast from an internet browser while itunes was closed.
    When itunes opened I found that it had created a second  'podcast library' (visible above the previous 'library' on the top left-hand side of itunes).
    I also noticed that the small highlighted oval which lists the number of podcast episodes had disappeared from the old 'podcast library'.
    When I try to update or refresh a podcast from the existing 'podcast library', itunes now crashes. However, I can still listen to old podcasts.
    I tried to manualy delete the new 'podcast library' by going to my itunes Library Folder, but found that there is only one folder named 'podcasts' and it is the original one. I tried re-installing itunes 10.6.3 but the unwanted 'podcast library' still appeared. 
    Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any way to delete a duplicate podcast library that itunes created?   
    Thank in advance for your help!

    Above is an image of the problem

  • My itunes has created a duplicate podcast folder. How can I delete this? I can't sync my podcasts to my ipod because there are now two Podcast folders.

    How do I delete the duplicate podcast folder? Because there are two podcast folders it is stopping my ipod nano from syncing when i plug it in.  I have searched the libraries on the hard drive but this extra podcast folder can't be found.

    I have figured out a workaround that may work for you.  It doesn't address the cause of the problem but it has gotten me past the problem.  Note: Mac OSX
    1.  Make note of all of the podcasts that you currently have in each of your folders.  You will need this to get back to your current position if you choose.
    2a.  Right click on the first of the two folders named Podcast.  (Command Click, two-finger tap, as appropriate.)  Delete should appear as an option.  Select it.  All of the contents and subscriptions in that folder will be lost.
    On my system, Delete appeared as an option only on the first of the two folders named Podcast.
    2b.  I deleted the contents of the second folder but, in retrospect, I don't think that was necessary.
    3.  You should now be left with just one Podcast folder.
    4.  Go to the iTunes store and resubscribe or download the podcasts you wish to restore.  All of the podcasts should appear in the one remaining podcast folder.  When I hit refresh to check, it did not crash this time.
    5.  Sync to your ipod.  I got a warning message about the mismatch, said ok and let the sync proceed.  It appears to have worked, as it did on my ipad.
    Messy but it worked.  Hope it helps both you, evechoc and ifan94. 
    Good luck!

  • Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

    Hi everybody!
    First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
    I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
    When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
    I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
    Could you help me please?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi iFriend,
    try this, it worked for me:
    1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
    2) reboot the system
    3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
    4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
    5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
    6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
    7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
    8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
    as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
    if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
    bye, bye,
    Marco

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Bug: iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 podcast smart playlist sort order and how to fix.

    There seems to be a bug in iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 involving the sort order of a smart playlist of podcasts. I created such a playlist and sorted by release date on iTunes but I noticed it had a different sort order on the iPod Touch.
    After playing around with it a bit I found that the only way to preserve the sort order that I have in iTunes on the iPod Touch is to uncheck "Live Updating" in the smart playlist.

    Confirming this incredibly annoying bug.  Basic list sorting not working... real bottom shelf work apple.
    workaround update:  limit to must be turned on, set it to an absurdly high number if you don't want to actually limit the playlist, then one of the sortby options in that submenu will work.   The live update checkbox is irrelevant from experimentation. 
    This workaround does NOT fix the fundamental problem: sort order from itunes in smart playlists is not being synced and preserved in ios5 devices.
    This is the latest in a long string of debacles which is making me seriously consider swapping to debian stable. (snow leopard to lion was a severe downgrade in performance for anyone doing heavy multitasking.. scheduling is FUBAR... when a command option escape beachballs on a brand new core 17 machine, your OS has serious problems with nice levels)

  • Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

    I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

    @King_Penguin thanks for your help
    See below some additional info:
    I have 3 Macs:
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
    1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
    1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
    2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
    FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US. 
    I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
    I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

  • I have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    i have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
    Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad

  • Error updating podcasts and itunes store

    I upgraded to iTunes 8.0 recently and after that, even though i have internet access, i can not get to the iTunes store and update podcasts. please help

    Hello a.mcintyre.rn,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music, Podcasts, and iTunes Store app on your iPad.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I updated my ipad to ios5, after that Ipod programs are nowhere to be found like podcast and itunes university, where can i find them?

    How can i retrieve my downloaded podcast and itunes university data files using IOS 5?

    I don't know about iTunes U files since I don't use them but look for your podcasts in the Music App. Tap on More in the bottom right corner of the app and you can select Podcasts from the resulting menu. I assume that iTunes U would be in there as well.
    Video podcasts would still be found in the videos app.

  • There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune U on my Itunes store heading without MUSIC, why?

    There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune on my Itune store heading, why? This means I cannot order music as a Hong Kong subscriber?

    That's correct.  It seems that music is not yet available in the Hong Kong store.

    i got iphone 5S and i live in pakistan .. my itunes is not working in country when i open it , it shows two columns of podcast and itunes U what to do?

    You won't be able to download music, films or TV programmes from iTunes until either they are available in Pakistan (which will need a sufficient number of content providers to grant Apple a license to sell their content there), or you move to a country where they are sold. Are there other music purchase downloads sites in Pakistan ? You can also copy your own music CDs via your computer's iTunes (so you could buy CDs and copy them) and sync them to your phone.

  • I have two podcast menus and iTunes crashes when sync'ing

    I have used iTunes for my podcast subscriptions for years, but suddenly after donwloading a new podcast, i now have two podcast menus i my navigation bar.
    I moved the last podcast from podcasts to books hence it was an audiobook, but the menu item remains, and i no longer get the count for items i havent listned to, yet.
    Furthermore, the last downloaded podcast still remains in the menuitem but without any media in it.
    I have now deleted the podcast container, and restarted iTunes, but all that got me was two podcast menus where one is just empty.
    Finally, iTunes crashes everytime i try to sync my podcast subscriptions, iTunes crashes
    I' running Lion 1.7.2 (with server) and iTunes 10.5.3 and no updates are available in either the appStore nor software update.
    Everything (except Server) is in Danish.
    Anyone have an idea on what to do?
    /Michael H.

    He he.  A little while later, I found this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3631661?start=0&tstart=0
    Which helped me a bit to solve it that way.  Apparently iTunes thinks that the original Podcast entry in the Library is a kind of playlist, which can be deleted.  The new one can't.  So, I needed to resubscribe to my podcasts in the new one and delete the old (right click/control click) on the Podcast item and choose delete.
    So there may be two ways to fix it. Hope this post helps out others in the future.

  • Podcasts and itunes 5.0 and shuffle OH MY

    I've got a smart playlist that contains music and podcasts. when i autofill from the playlist to my ipod shuffle, only the music is copied to the shuffle.
    I thought this had been fixed in itunes 5.o. apparently not.
    any suggestions for how to make this work?
    thanks!
    mark

    Since upgrading to iTunes 5.0, podcasts that appear to transfer to my shuffle, do not play. Music works fine, but the podcasts do not play. I have reset and restored (1.1) my shuffle many time with no change. (Very frustrating.) If someone from Apple is listening, what's up? BTW ... this same shuffle worked great with podcasts and iTunes 4.9. And the podcasts appear to play from the shuffle while connected to iTunes 5.0, but will not play when disconnected from my CPU.
