Global Setting for *NOT* DELETING files in iTunes?

Hi Everyone-
Why is the default setting in iTunes to delete podcasts once listened to? There are many episodes I want to retain.
I would like the control to delete stuff when I want, and not at the whim of iTunes.
Can you explain how to set the program to NOT DELETE as  a default? Or do I have to seek another client-AGAIN?
Thanks,
M

Go to Podcasts > My Podcasts then at the top right select Episode List from the view options. Second button in at the lower right should be the default Settings... button. I'd still go through the individual podcasts to make sure they haven't picked up autodelete options from elsewhere/when.
I'd recommend you go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Sync podcast subscriptions and settings. This feature appears to have cause problems for others, myself included, when settings from an iOS device override those in iTunes.

  • Why can't I delete files in iTunes? NO DELETE does NOT work.

    iTunes 11.1 will not delete files from list, and NO the delete key does not work for that thanks.

    I'd recommend just giving up on the List View in iTunes. As far as I can tell, you CANNOT get rid of anything in that view. If there's a cloud icon, the episode is out there in the ether and you can download it; if there's no cloud, I guess it's on your computer already. Basically it's in permanent "Show All Available Episodes" mode, and that's the only choice available.
    Use the "My Podcasts" or "My Stations" view (or a smart playlist) instead to see what podcast episodes are actually on your computer.
    I've also found that deleting podcast episodes doesn't seem to be a permanent solution: iTunes will want to download them again, because after all, you didn't play the podcast, right? You must have made a mistake by deleting something you hadn't played yet! (WHY they've set it up this way is beyond me.) To get rid of a podcast episode off your computer, mark it as played, and then re-sync.

  • Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted?

    Can't delete files in iTunes 10.4 (80) OS 10.7 Delete in the edit menu is not hi-lighted. Any sugestions? I have three Mac's and they all have the same problem.

    Gmatos, when I high-light and drag file from iTunes to my trash the usual promt of "do I want to remove it" followed by by the uual "do I want to keep the file or remove that from my library" comes up too. I click "dont keep file" and it is gone from my itunes and my library an my HD. It's exactly the same as it's always been except annoyingly this is the only way I can do it as the delete button just doesn't work in this latest version.
    Hope this is clearer for you.

  • Deleted files from iTunes not showing in Trash Can

    Hi there,
    I am experiencing a problem where if I delete a track or podcast from iTunes and select the option Move to Trash, it does not show up in my Trash Can on the dock unless I open TC in Finder. Only then the TC logo on the dock shows that TC is not empty. Is this something that only I am experiencing? Any help to explain why this is and how to remedy it would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I have found that if I delete files from iTunes, I don't see paper showing in the trash indicating that something is there, but if I click the icon for the trash, the paper will suddenly appear...and opening the folder to view what's in the trash shows that the deleted song is, indeed, there.

  • Can't delete files from iTunes File Sharing

    iPad, IOS 8.1.3
    MacBook Pro Retina, OS 10.10.2
    iTunes, v12.1
    I'm trying to delete files from iTunes. In this instance, I have files I made in Pages, via my iPad, I have learned how to move them to my computer without using iCloud, which I prefer. Now I can't get them off of the iTunes app on my computer.
    I have deleted them from my iPad and from my computer but they are still in the iTunes app on my computer. To see these one must plug the iPad into the computer. When iTunes, on the computer, opens, choose Apps from the side bar, (under settings), scroll down to File Sharing, pick the app, in this case Pages and there is a list of all the files, (docs), still on the computer, within iTunes.
    If i drag one of the files to the desk top on my computer and clic on it it will open. This is true for any of the apps under File Sharing.
    This seems very insecure to me and it also appears to take up space on my iPad.
    Anyone know how to get rid of these files?

    Hi,
    I had an orhpanded link to a networkshare which does not exist anymore. With the "cmd" key pressed down I was able to dump the favorite to the trash.
    Thank you.
    Cheers

  • What is the mp4 setting for GoPro mp4 files?

    Hi all,
    I have edited GoPro mp4 1080-60 files that I want to upload to youtube.
    Since it's consider the best for youtube, I want to keep the mp4 format. So I'm using AVCHD MP4-H.264 1920x1080 as output selection which appears to be a no brainer, but youtube rejects the file apparently, since the will only play at 380,  max rez.
    It's not really working. I thought it would be pretty straight forward as Gopro has to be very popular device.
    What is the optimal mp4 setting for GoPro mp4 files?
    Thanks

    It happens to all of us. We can upload our HD footage (example AVCHD/MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30) to YouTube, but
    YouTube converts the video to a flash format and displays it in its default viewing setting which is not HD, typically
    480p or less.
    So, you or your viewer is going to have to set the viewing setting to HD before viewing your work in order to get
    decent display quality.

    Can you let us know a little more about what you are trying to do? Adobe Reader opens pdf files but does not store them so, there's nothing to delete.

  • I have an error message "page_bottom_overlay-2.png" which comes up when I try to publish.  There is a large X with a Question mark in the middle over the entire background of the page.  The error message says the file is missing.  I did not delete files.

    I have an error message "page_bottom_overlay-2.png" which comes up when I try to publish.  There is a large X with a Question mark in the middle over the entire background of the page.  The error message says the file is missing.  I did not delete files.  How can I find files that seem to be missing?

    This is probably one of the files that is required by the template you are using.
    These files are inside the iWeb app. Control click the iWeb app icon and select "Show package contents".
    You need to dig down through the folders and files to find what you want...
    Contents/Resources/da.lproj/Templates/
    If the file is missing you would need to re install the iWeb app...

  • Where is font-setting for note in iOS7?

    Hi,
    After update to iOS7, the beautiful font set for Notes is not available anymore. Not even available in settings for Notes. Is there another way to get those fonts back?
    Thanks and best regards

    Here is the feedback I sent Apple with the link provided by "Level 3 (630 points):
    As you have "allowed" iOS 7 users to be able to use their previous ringtones under the "classic" setting, PLEASE also "allow" iOS 7 users to be able to choose the "original" more sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing look of the previous iOS 6 and before.  This would greatly, if not entirely, eliminate negative feedback of the iOS 7 "Dinky-Dob" look.

  • Global Temporary Table not deleting Rows

    why is my Global temp table not deleting the rows after commit see below,
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY T_CHG
    TBE VARCHAR2(7),
    ABC VARCHAR2(8),
    EFDA VARCHAR2(6),
    ABD VARCHAR2(9),
    A_ID VARCHAR2(128),
    C_DATE,
    ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;

    Quite a few syntax issues with your create statement. It would have helped if you had posted a SQL*Plus session showing your results. Here is mine which works just fine:
    sql>create global temporary table t_chg
      2  (
      3  tbe varchar2(7),
      4  abc varchar2(8),
      5  efda varchar2(6),
      6  abd varchar2(9),
      7  a_id varchar2(128),
      8  c_date date
      9  )
    10  on commit delete rows;
    Table created.
    sql>insert into t_chg values ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', sysdate);
    1 row created.
    sql>select count(*) from t_chg;
    COUNT(*)
            1
    1 row selected.
    sql>commit;
    Commit complete.
    sql>select count(*) from t_chg;
    COUNT(*)
            0
    1 row selected.

  • Can not delete file with illegal character

    have a file with name of e}ail.txt
    can not delete it. Tried e*.txt, did not work.
    removed everything from the directory , renamed the directory to badDirectory , tried rm badDirectory /s /q
    and that didn't work.
    dir /X did not report an 8.3 file name.
    can not delete file or directory from FileManager either.
    went to a Linux box and did an smbfs mount. Still can not delete file.
    So, how does one delete a file with a openface curly bracket in the name?
