Help: Playlist can't play Podcast

I just realize that after i Updated and using Nike+ my Nano playlist (both On-the-go and manual playlist) can't play podcasts automatically.
It appears in the list, but it won't be chosen automatically.
i.e. if there are 10 songs and 3 podcasts, and I choose play from the playlist title it will show only 10 tracks.
if I forcely chose one of the podcast, the tracks will become 11, teh 2 other podcasts will not be chosen automatically.
My ipod setting is always Shuffle Songs
JSJ

Agreed, I do roughly the same thing, and this is incredibly annoying. I was considering the Nike gear, so I updated mine... but I usually play some of my podcasts by scrolling through the album list and then just hitting play to shuffle them. Whether or not to include podcasts in shuffle should be a global setting, or at least set per podcast, rather than per episode.
Frustrating. I think I'll roll back, and forego the Nike gear for now.

    How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

    I used to sync my podcasts to my phone individually, but found out that the Podcast app works better for me.  It continously downloads the podcasts (not really sure when, that's the only thing, when its downloading it may use data depending on where you are) and also deletes the ones i have listened to.  Hopefully that will help you out!

  • Can't play podcasts

    Suddenly I can't play podcasts and the podcast logos & album covers of my playlist have disappeared on my iPhone.  The music on my playlist plays &  iTunes U is OK.

    Thanks for the reply.  I went to My Computer and repaired Apple software on my PC, synched my iPhone again, and all is working again.

  • Can not play podcast with voice control command

    Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
    I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
    Thanks

    I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
    Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!

  • [help] I can't play this music online!

    I cannot play the music here,

    When I click the red play bottun, nothing happens. I've tried this in firefox and arora. Both fail.
    It played happily when I switched to winxp and by using IE8 (I don't have firefox on that machine).
    Looks the page uses java plus flash. I'm not sure.
    No idea what's wrong...
    P.S.
    I have jre 6u14-1 installed for java support, and  flashplugin for flash.

    So, arkham, you can't play it either...
    Actually my purpose is not play it, I want the real absolute url for that song. I think I can see it using Live HTTP Headers if I can play it.
    Is there any way else to dig that real url out?

  • Please Help with Shuffle not playing Podcasts in Playlist order

    Hi wanted to find out if others are going thru the same thing concerning PODCASTS. When I download a podcast and I put it into a playlist the podcasts should be able to be played in a sequential order as long as the number column is "clicked" so it plays 1,2,3 and so on. Well thats not happening....UGHHH when I sync my 2G shuffle now after 7.2 upgrade it decides it wants to put an episode of one type of podcast then another episode from another podcasts.. as if it is in random mode... But asure you I have the random/shuffle turned off both on the itunes and the shuffle itself. and everytime I go to sync it I can see the little circle updates syncing out of order and the sync window shows them being copied out of order... And so it syncs it to the order it comes up in the window. I cant get it to stop doing this. I have even tried unistalling 7.2 and quicktime and downgrading to 7.1.1.5 and it still is doing the same thing. Anybody please help this is very irritating... Thanks for your time....

    I am trying to auto sort podcasts in a smart playlist.
    Click in tethe h very first column and drag the podcasts in the order you want.
    Right click on the playlist name and *Copy to play order*.

  • Can't play podcast in iTunes

    I click on different podcast (RSS) feeds on several websites, and it shows them listed in iTunes, but won't update or download podcast, and the left column where you usually see blue dot or exclmation mark is blank, and when click on it they always show error: "The URL might point to text-only episodes, or contain file types that iTunes cannot play"
    I tried changing settings in iTunes (Preferences/Advanced/Importing)to different settings like "import using..MP3, or AAC Encoder,etc" but nothing works.
    Why does this happen and does anyone know what else I can do to make podcasts play in iTunes?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Yes, my 3rd gen nano has stopped playing videos podcasts or otherwise for some reason. Soft reset and restore didn't help.

  • Can you play podcasts one at a time on 6th gen iPod Nano?

    I've seen this question asked a few times, but I wanted to throw in my two cents.
    My 4th gen Classic and my 1st gen Nano both would allow me to play one podcast episode at a time. This was useful if I had several episodes of one podcast and fell asleep listening to one, the iPod wouldn't continue playing the other episodes, it would just stop playing at the end of the episode I was listening to.
    The 6th gen Nano I just got will automatically play the next podcast episode when the one you are listening to is finished. I perfer the old behavior of my 1st gen Nano. Is there any way to change the behavior of the 6th gen without using smart playlists or the sleep timer (I think those are kind of clunky work arounds)?
    If not, then I would like to make a feature request. The button on the left of the podcast play screen that toggles between "play one after another then stop", "play same episode over and over", and "play all episodes over and over" should have one more setting: "play this episode and then stop".
    It sounds like a pretty easy feature to add. What does everyone else think? Do you want this too?

    I looked for this feature when I changed from my now-dead Classic 160 to 6th generation Nano, but I never got a good answer. Personally, I'd rather have a setting to allow this, rather than using the sleep/wake button, because I use that for play/pause. In the old Classic, you would choose to shuffle albums if you wanted continuous play from one track to the next, and you would turn shuffle off to stop at the end of a podcast (or maybe it was the other way around—I can't remember off hand). That's not as clear as a "continue or stop" control (which would be great), but at least it worked. I don't know if that's something they can add with a software update, but it would make for a better user experience.

  • Suddenly can't play podcast

    I created "Car Playlist" in iTunes on my iMac and downloaded all episodes to the playlist
    chose "include episodes from the playlists" and checked Car Playlist
    synced my iPhone 5s
    opened Podcasts and selected iTunes Playlists
    chose Car Playlist
    played Car Playlist in the car yesterday for 1 hour
    stopped for several hours
    tried to continue where I left off
    pushed the play button, nothing happens
    When I open Podcasts it shows Now Playing what I was listening to, but pushing the play button does nothing.  I have tried skipping ahead to the next episode to play that but the same thing happens.  I have tried playing one podcast that I played a portion of, then skipped forward to the next podcast.  When I try to play the first podcast, it shows where I was when last played - 7:32 into the episode, but I cannot play it.  Does anyone know why I am having this problem?  And why could I play the playlist when I first got in the car, but not when I drove home?  It's the same playlist after all.

    This problem continued until I re-selected the iTunes playlist > Car Playlist, then I was again able to play the podcast episodes.

  • Can't play podcast while on other apps...iphone 6 plus

    Why can't I play downloaded podcasts while using other apps like facebook on my Iphone 6 Plus?

    Since New Years Eve, I have spent  nearly 15 hours with senior support advisors on this issue. Trust me, I've tried everything. Once it downloads on Apple TV all I get is AUDIO. The trailer will play fine, all the other apps on Apple TV play fine. The only thing I'm having trouble with is movies RENTED FROM ITUNES ON APPLE TV and MOVIES RENTED ON ANY IOS device. Not just mine, I've tried using my Apple ID on other people IOS devices but the movies download but won't start. I have one purchased movie that will play fine on any platform, but not rented movies.
    There are no error messages, all setting have need restored, reset, and reset again by THREE senior advosors. I don't know how to explain it any cleatee than
    this.. sorry to be short, but I don't see any Apple tech people making any type of effort to remedy the problem.

  • HELP!  can't play .asf files

    i have a macbook pro. i cant seem to play a video clip that i have, which happens to be a .asf file. it plays the audio, but but no video. whenever i try to open it, it says that additional things r needed and leads me to the quicktime page online. im assuming its a codec issue, but i dont know what i need. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

    The file with the .asf extension was encoded for Windows Media Player. You must have flip4mac installed as it can play most WMP files inside QuickTime Player.
    Most. Not all can be viewed on our Macs.

  • Can itunes play podcasts at 2x

    I love the feature of my ipod touch playing back pocasts at double speed. Anyway to do this when I listen to them thru itunes on my imac?

    Actually, I have the same problem...only moreso.
    When I'm streaming from another computer, my songs frequently start double-playing without my doing ANYTHING at all. Right now, The Skeleton Killers' "Despair" is doubling up--that's twice the dirge--and I wasn't even touching the computer when it started.
    Oh, goodie! One of the streams has finished and the next song, George Michael's "Outside", has begun, now running concurrently with the last minute of "Despair". I can't tell you how poorly these songs go together.
    The problem started with 7.0 and continues with 7.0.1
    Apple! Help!

  • How can I play podcasts so that they begin with oldest first and move up to more recent?

    When I dowload podcasts on my ipod classic I can't listen to them right away and they accumulate. When I play them, they always play downwards, from more recent to older.
    I want them to play from oldest to most recent  in order. How can I make this happen?
    Thanks
