Front Row still displays deleted old podcast episode

I have subscribes to ScreenCastsOnline podcast, and one of the episodes was an audio update. It is only since I checked in iTunes today that I have found I don't actually have that episode in iTunes anymore, and it is definately not in the Podcasts folder within the iTunes folder. Yet Front Row is saying I still have it, and it has a blue ball next to it to say it hasn't been played. If I try to play it, Front Row tells me it can't be played (obviously because the file is no longer there).
I have tried unsubscribing to ScreenCastsOnline and making sure there is no trace of it in the iTunes folder, and yet the one episode is STILL listed on Front Row!!
How can I remove it?

Update:
Firstly, there are actually TWO old podcast episodes total that are not on my Mac anymore but are listed on Front Row. I removed any trace of all Podcasts in iTunes and the podcast folder disappeared in the iTunes Music library folder, yet two podcasts remained in FR.
Secondly, I opened the iTunes Music Library.xml file with Text Edit, and found entries for both of these podcasts within using a search. I have removed the keys associated with both and did a search again to confirm they had been removed. I rebooted and tried FR again, and the podcasts are STILL there!!! What else can I do, PLEASE????

Cannot delete old podcast episodes after updating to ios 8

The usual way of manually deleting old podcast episodes, swiping right to left and then selecting the red delete button, appears to be no longer available. Do I need to fix something or is there a new way of doing this function?

Have you tried swiping left to right?
Try going to Settings>General>Usage>Podcasts and select the the podcast you want to delete and tap edit in in upper left and delete the podcast.

Old podcast episode stuck on my nano ipod

I have a problem with my nano ipod, I have a second generation and it has a old podcast episode that won't go away.I download it on another computer and when I updated it on another computer, the episode is still their.I've tried deleting it and found out that the site that I got the episode from, had their podcast taken down.Is their any way that I can remove this episode?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

ITunes won't delete old podcasts

I've seen other people mention this topic in other threads, but haven't seen any satisfactory resolution. For several months now, I've had a problem with iTunes where it won't auto-delete my old listened to podcasts like it's supposed to.
I have the "Podcasts" preferences set to check for new episodes every day, download all available episodes, and keep all unplayed episodes. When I listen to them on my iPod nano (first gen) and sync with iTunes, the little blue bullets disappear from the podcasts I've listened to as expected. However, the listened to podcasts don't delete themselves. It's a real pain to have to manage this by hand, and this is exactly the kind of thing that Apple is supposed to be making EASY for us.
iTunes also has a problem where old podcast episodes are randomly getting re-downloaded.
Both of these problems are very annoying. I'm really disappointed that Apple has done such a poor job of this. I realize this is turning into a gripe session, but seriously, I have three pretty major problems with podcasting using iTunes and iPod which Apple should really fix because I doubt if I'm the only one.
1. Old podcasts are not getting deleted as they should (yes, this used to work, but it hasn't for some time).
2. Really old podcasts (months old) randomly re-download themselves.
3. The iPod still insists on sorting podcasts with the newest first rather than giving you an option to play from the oldest unlistened episode. Many podcasts go in sequence, so it's a pain to have to make a custom play list every time I want to listen going from oldest to newest.
That's it.

YES!!! These are precisely the three issues I'm having with iTunes! I'm using an 80GB iPod Video, and I'm almost exclusively listening to podcasts (yay NPR!). They take up a lot of space on my hard drive because they're not auto-deleting. They delete off of my iPod ok (though it'd be a cool feature if it didn't delete unless it was listened to through the end, but that's nitpicking), but they pile up in my podcasts directory until I delete them manually, even though I have "keep new episodes" selected.
And please, allow for podcasts to play in chronological order on my iPod, oldest on top! I think I remember reading somewhere that having them appear the other way is actually touted as a benifit?
As for the random download of old episodes, I've had that, and it's annoying, but an easy enough thing to delete or skip, and mark as played on the mac.
I had the lack of updates problem for a while, I inexplicably lost Marketplace for several months, but now it's back... Those last two problem aren't Apple's fault, I suspect; just a result of several pieces to a puzzle needing to be exactly right in order to work correctly.
Thanks for re-introducing this topic, here's hoping for a solution!

Delete old podcasts?

*** please someone tell me how to delete old podcasts in the new iTunes bollocks there is no ability to highlight and delete! How can this be?

Which view are you looking at? In iTunes / Podcasts / List, there is no way to remove the items - if you mark them as played, the file will disappear from your computer, but the item will still be in the Lists pane, with a cloud icon beside it.
The "My Podcasts" or "My Stations" panes seem to be more useful at this point.
Now, if you're trying to stop them from downloading again: don't delete the podcast file in the first place. Instead, mark it as played - and that should make it disappear. If you delete it without playing it, iTunes for some reason thinks you must want it back. (Note that deleting on the iPhone still does what you'd expect it to do - delete the darn file! - but in iTunes it doesn't seem to work.)

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.

How do I delete old podcasts and sync new podcasts without getting duplicates

I have an iPod Nano. I've enjoyed downloading podcasts and listening to them while walking my dog. I want to delete the podcasts I've already listened to and download only those I haven't heard. If I delete old podcasts, will iTunes be able to identify and download only podcasts I haven't listened to?

You don't have to use the Podcasts app. If you delete it and sync to iTunes on your computer via USB the podcasts will appear back in the Music app. You can delete them there.

Just bought a used Oct '13 MacBook Pro and I can't sign into the App Store as it still displays the old owners user ID in the login box (in fixed grey text). Any ideas of how I what I could do? Thanks.

The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted from the disc, the USB device, or Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

Front Row not displaying shared libraries

On my 13" MBP I can't get any shared libraries to show up under Sources. I've got it narrowed down to my specific account because on my fiance's 13" MB they do show up. Same if I create a new user on my computer they show up as well. I've disabled firewall and WaterRoof (unix firewall) to no avail. I've searched the internet over and while this seems to be a fairly common problem I've found no answers. I'm guessing some .plist somewhere is bad. I've deleted the FrontRow folder in Application Support under my user and no luck there.
For some background I'm running a MacMini with iTunes sharing enabled. Again a new account on my computer or my fiance's MB can access this source no problems. Anyone have suggestions on where I can focus on this problem? I checked Console and Front Row is tossing up no errors for Front Row. I'd really like to get this working. Any one got ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did enable sharing and looking for sharing on both machines. I also have disabled the OS X firewall and the unix firewalls on both machines. I also uninstalled Flip4Mac and Perian on both machines. Still doesn't work. And again it does work OK if I create a new account on my MBP and also works on my fiance's MB with no modifications. Something is set up somewhere on my specific user in OS X on my machine. I'm at a loss what that could be.

I must be missing something... but how do you download old podcast episodes

Hi, I'm a little new to podcasts, and I seem to have a question already. I want to download an old episode of a podcast without downloading all the new ones. Is there anyway to do this? All I see is the subscribe button, and if I right click the one I want to download all I see is Get Info, Copy, and Copy iTunes Music Store URL. Any help is appreciated.

I just spent an hour trying to figure out the same thing. Do this:
Subscribe to podcast.
Click "Podcast" on the left hand side of your screen(under the source heading). This will display the most recent episode of the podcast.
To get to the old episodes click the little arrow on the left of the recent episode to the right of the blue dot.
The old episodes will then be listed and you can either double click them, or click "get" and they will download.

Download old podcast episodes off web then transfering?

Ok, so im sure some one else has realised that the itunes store isn't displaying old episodes of podcasts anymore, just the most recent 10 or 15.
Before, some podcasts had a certain amount of episodes available, but you could go to their website and download the episodes there, and just transfer them to itunes.
Now, when i try this, the podcast episodes transfer onto itunes, but won't transfer to my ipod 5.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this?? Or does the podcasts app stop this??
Thanks.

The link you gave me leads to a feed which is properly constructed as far as it goes but as I say is empty. Looking at the coding the text 'mp3' dopes not appear anywhere in it. You've constructed your feed in Wordpress/Powerpress and I'm afraid I can't advise on those. What have you done since originally posting?
You can see the text of your feed in the Feedvalidator report (you can ignore the two 'errors').
As you will see there is no 'item' tag nor any reference to mp3. If you are seeing a media file I can't explain that unless you aren't actually looking at the feed. The associated web page, http://www.pluggingintolife.com/podcast-page/ , has an embedded player referencing an MP3 file with a suitable URL (e.g. http not https) but it's not made it into the feed.

ITunes 11.1 won't let me delete old podcasts

I know it's been covered in many other posts, but want to make sure Apple hears this.
ITunes 11.1's new podcast section insists on showing me years of old podcasts I've already listened to and want to delete and never see again. This is not a feature. This is a bug. You are making my life less happy. Change it right now.
Brian L.

Oh how I agree. Most agrivating thing in the world. Must be an employee getting even with apple. Don't see how anyone who uses this program could have let it slip through. Doesn't anyone at apple actually buy and iphone? Sort of like when Ford president looked out the window and he only saw toyoto cars in the employee parking lot. Simply can't believe this.
Otherwise one other small complaint. The backgrounds are too white and hurt my eyes. How about a softer text background color please.

Files that were moved are still displaying in old location.

Hello,
I was recently doing some reorganization of some files in my iCloud account in Finder (In the iCloud tab). When I went to sign into iCloud.com the next day and go to iCloud Drive, for some reason the images that I had moved the day before were still in their old locations. The day before, I also rearranged some folders and made some new ones. Those were updated when I went to iCloud.com, but the images were still there. Here are some screen shots showing what my Finder looks like versus iCloud.com, as of right now. (I do realize that there are some extra apps displayed in iCloud.com, but just ignore those. Notice the images, like the first two listed on the screen)
Notice the extra images on iCloud.com. Anybody know why this is happening? (I tried clearing my cache and cookies, but with no avail)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Alan

Ok,
I solved it. For some reason when I moved the event folder it created a second event folder in iMovie. This second event folder seemed to be overriding, or not allowing the original event folder to be read. So I moved all of the video files out of the original event folder and moved them to the new event folder.
It's currently re-generating thumbnails for all the videos but this seems to have solved the problem.

Front Row doesn't show video podcasts

Here's the problem for some reason Front Row does not see the Video Podcasts that are on my MBP anymore. Although it did before. Now when I go into Video Podcasts I get an error telling that I don't have any video podcasts in my iTunes library even though I do. It can be seen in iTunes, and I can listen to it in Front Row if I go into music section, but for some reason it is not recognized anymore in as a Video Podcast in Front Row.
Anyone knows how to fix this, or having problems with this?

I have the same problem. I think it may have something to do with the size of the video podcast. Have you tried downloading any podcasts for Apple TV and seeing if they work?

Front Row - External display

Hi everyone,
Hope I'm posting in the right forum.
I was so happy when Snow Leopard (automatically) used my external display for Front Row display. However, it left me with a new "wish".
Front Row fades the display on my iMac to black... Is there a way to leave the display active so I can use the computer while my wife watches films?

Moved to the Front Row forum.
