HELP ! : PODCAST SUBSCRIPTIONS LISTED TWICE AFTER LIBRARY RESTORE

I have restored my entire itunes library onto my new computer.
When I restore my podcast subscriptions by drag and dropping the 'Podcasts' playlist over to the library a number of the subscriptions get listed twice.
How do I get all of the podcast episodes to appear under one subscription in itunes ?
Technically I know the reason why this is happening. It is because the podcast author at some point have changed the URL feed for their podcast. So some episodes come from an old URL location and some from the new location.
When itunes imports the podcasts it groups the old podcasts under one subscription heading and the more recent ones under another heading. However both have the same name hence duplicate podcast subscription titles !
Is there any way of forcing itunes to arrange all the podcast episodes under one subscription heading ?

I have been fighting the same issue for over a year, every time there is a new version released I get hopeful and scour the boards for a new solution, but alas no.

  • ITunes Crashing - Podcasts Listed Twice Under Library

    ITunes has seemingly created another Podcast entry under in my Library which means I now have 2. This has the effect of forcing ITunes to crash whenever i attempt to update the podcasts in my original Podcase folder. Any ideas on how to remove this spurious entry?
    Thanks,

    Hi there -
    I had this problem ages ago and posted about it, but never got a response. It eventually went away, though I have no idea/don't recall why - and now it is back! Extremely annoying. Have you heard anything or figured out how to fix it?
    Thanks.

  • ITunes combined two podcast subscription lists

    We have always  maintained two machines (one mac one pc) with iTunes keeping separate podcast subscriptions but  linked libraries for music.  11.1 decided to download all subscribed podcasts on both machines to both machines.  Our tastes diverge on podcasts so keeping them separate is a good idea.  
    I'm guessing we are stuck with this but what is the best strategy to deal with separating the two lists?  The best option I have so far would be
    his and hers playlists If the my stations list actually functions as a play list....  On the up side I can now just put a big harddrive in a NAS on the network and be done with duelling libraries.

    Well, I hear your response, and it confirms what I understand about the issue. I'm trying to understand how it's "Not allowed." Usually Not Allowed would preface a rule to prevent some sort of disorder. However it seems that moving something as simple as a url subscription from the ipod to an itunes program would be a simple matter and would not require any code of ethics.
    Now it may be that it has yet to be part of the itunes program, but it certainly should be, or perhaps there is some sort of work-around.
    You see, on my computer with the latest subscriptions, iTunes does not properly sync the podcasts for which I have subscriptions, but just 'renews' al;l the podcasts I have already listened to, and my older subscriptions iTunes seems to function a little better for whatever reason.

  • Help with Photoshop Elements 10 after system restore

    Hi I need some help and guidance. I have successfully installed my Photoshop Elements 10 twice now; once on my own; and following a MS Vista System Restore; with the help of Adobe support . I then worked on it for a day and all was well.
    But unbeknown to me at the time, I had a MS System corruption that was causing Boot issues resulting in a forced Restore of my system and both Restores caused the Photoshop elements desk-top shortcut to disappear and a subsequent PSE10 re-install to fail with the dreaded Data7 , and "Application Shared Technologies" and rollback of Orgainizer and Editor etc etc.
    I now realise that the two events were connected and the Adobe Support Person helped me get PSE10 up and running but it involved a lot of file permission changes etc, which lost me in the process, which was done remotely. PS Great customer support!!
    After sorting out my MS Vista problem due to "Corrupt System" files, I now need to get my PSE10 up and running again; but how?
    Regards John

    Have you tried uninstalling and installing again?
    thanks.

  • Duplicate podcast subscriptions

    After moving my iTunes library from computer to computer over the past several years, I've ended with with some podcast subscriptions that show up twice in my podcasts library.
    Each subscription contains different episodes, so the actual podcasts aren't duplicated, but the podcast subscription appears twice.
    so for example, I have:
    KCRW's today's top tune
    episode 5/6/10
    episode 4/22/10
    etc.
    KCRW's today's top tune
    12/15/06
    12/14/06
    etc.
    is there any way to combine these so I can manage them as a single subscription?

  • How do I find a downloaded podcast subscription that is not showing up in my library?

    I downloaded a podcast subscription and it will not show up in my podcast library in Itunes.  I tried to download it again but it says it is downloaded.  What can I do?

    Is the Podcast in iTunes U, which is a separate section within you iTunes Library? If you cannot see iTunes U on the left hand side, under "Library", click on Edit/Preferences/General>iTunes U (tick "on").
    Did you actually download this programme "as a Podcast" through the iTunes Store or by subscribing to the Podcast feed in Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast? Or did you get it from the show's website?
    Have you checked alternative spellings and even programme titles for the Podcast? (I have one programme, titled "Focus", but which appears under "BBC", who produced it!) Use the Search facilty to check your library.
    If all else fails, what is the title of the Podcast, perhaps that may help us find it?

  • One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer.

    Hello Everybody,
    One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer. One has all the subfolders and topics of it and the other has all the subfolders but not the topics. How did I get into this kind of situation? Why do I have two folders? Can somebody please answer on this?
    Since my RH project is attached to Visual Source Safe (VSS), the same structure is mirroring in VSS.

    Hi there
    After reviewing the image I see that what you might think are two of the same folder are two different folders similar in name.
    One is named Advanced_Functionality. The other is named Advanced_Funtionality (note the missing C).
    I'm assuming this is the folder you are referring to?
    Cheers... Rick

  • List of Podcast Subscriptions Missing

    Okay, I did a silly thing and tried moving folders around and now my Podcast subscriptions are gone from iTunes. I tried moving the Podcasts folder back to where I think it was....but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to restore this without having to subscribe to them all over again? Thanks for your help!

    Oh, I just noticed that even though they appear in iTunes again, it seems I do have to re-subscribe. Ah, well. Easier than having to search for each podcast all over again.

  • Podcasts subscriptions corrupted after installing iTunes 5

    I have my podcasts set to update manually and after installing iTunes 5 I noticed that when I try to update them iTunes showed there are no new episodes when clearly (and iTunes podcast directory confirmed it) there were.
    Then I noticed "subscribe" button in the podcast directory's page for my podcasts was active and after i re-subscribed to all of my podcats (for example TWIT) iTunes added an identical TWIT podcast entry to my podcasts list and started re-downloading ALL of the podcasts i already had along with the new episodes.
    So now i have a choice of either having to re-download all of my podcasts in order to get new ones OR be without new episodes untill this is fixed. And re-downloading all of my podcats is not an option cause of my connection. Also i don't wanna have duplicate entries for my podcasts in order to have the new episodes.
    I really hope iTunes 5.1 comes out soon and fixes these bugs. In my opinion, this is the buggiest release of iTunes for Windows Apple ever made.

    ME TOO. Now I want to know how I can DOWNgrade iTunes.
    Also, when I have left iTunes open for a while, I come back to it, and the window is all indecipherable garbage.
    And don't waste your time. I have done it all, and nothing has helped. I either download podcast by painful podcast or I don't get anything at all.

  • How can I recover my game after I restored my iPad? The game was online so I thought it won't be affected even if I restore my ipad. After restoring, and downloading my game, it started to level 1. Please help. I've been playing that game for about a year

    My game was 'fashion story' and currently level 90. But after I restored my iPad, it went back to level 1. Please please help

    Do you have a backup of the device before you restored it? If you have a backup, try to restore the device from that backup.
    If you don't, I doubt that there's anything anyone here can do for you. Seems as though your save game, (despite being an "online" game) was wiped out with the restore. I'd say the vast majority of online games still do keep your save data on the device and NOT in "the cloud".
    In this case, a backup of the device would have helped you out...it's always wise to backup your device before proceeding with a restore, especially if you plan to restore the device as new.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.

  • Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

    My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    or
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • After iPod Restore iTunes doesn't recognize my Nano ! HELP!

    My iPod was out of juice (and was telling me corrupted) and while i was charging it i downloaded the new iTunes 7.1.1. iTunes kept telling me to restore/reset ipod and i could not get past it. So thinking no problem i will just get my music back on the iPod after i restore. Now My Computer always shows my iPod but my iTunes will not recognize it. The funny thing is when i close iTunes and reconnect my ipod to the PC iTunes launches but doesn’t show my ipod. When i was restoring i'm pretty sure iTunes recognized my ipod. This is so frustrating and all posts i don't see a fix for the problem. Anyone have ideas -- i want to listen to music I have also uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7.1.1 . I have tried putting iPod into disk mode. Please help anyone -- thanks,
    Ipod Nano   Windows XP Pro  

    First read this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136 Even if there are no new drivers available for your computer, reload the USB driver.
    Next, connect your Nano to your computer using a rear USB port on your computer and disconnecting all other USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse. If you have your Nano in disk mode and it shows up in My Computer, right click on it and then format it (FAT32, don't use quick format). After this, Restore it in iTunes.
