How do i get podcasts in my nano

I downloaded some podcasts but when I connect my nano to the itunes they are not in my nano... how do i get them in there

Where are you looking for them on your iPod? They should be under Music-->Podcasts.
Also, try right clicking a podcast episode. Go to convert selection for AAC. See if that converted file transfers to the iPod.
Finally, are you automatically updating music as well?

My nano completely emptied and I no longer have a podcast section, How can I get podcasts back?

This morning I was trying to sync my iPod and add new podcasts for my commute to work later. After plugging in my iPod my computer let me know that I had damaged files and gave me an option to scan them. I did scan, now my iPod is empty, which by itself is upseting not, I see that I am back to the 1.0.4 software and no long am able to support podcasts at all. Does any one know how I can get podcasts again?

Double check to make sure podcasts are configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.
Otherwise, are you getting any error messages when you sync your iPod Classic with iTunes?

How do I get both of my nano 6th and 7th gen to be recognised by itunes?

I have a 6th and 7th gen nano and both have the same error stating that itunes can see an ipod connected but cannot ID either of them. I am using Windows 8.1 and all was fine until recently. How do I get both of my nanos to be recognised by itunes? I have tried all of the suggestions within troubleshooting but nothing works

Hello FoZ0872,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPods when connected to iTunes. You have taking some really good troubleshooting steps already, but I found a couple of articles with additional steps you can take to further troubleshoot the issue. You can skip any steps you have already taken.
If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle?

How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle???

Hey wolfpro55,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
To copy audiobooks or podcasts to the iPod shuffle, it must be configured to manually manage music. Once configured, you can drag and drop different podcasts/playlists to the iPod shuffle.
Fore more information, see this resource:
iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How do I get my 7th gen nano to play music in specified order? It either repeats songs endlessly or shuffles; neither do I want it to do.

How do I get my 7th gen nano to play music in specified order? It either repeats songs endlessly or shuffles; neither do I want it to do.

If you are working out with this divide and running it will shake to shuffel and you can go under playlist and add new play list and make that way and you can put them in any order and you can turn off shake to shuffel and the settings under music

Getting podcasts onto my nano??

Okay, I already have some podcasts on iTunes and I'm trying to get them onto my nano. I try to drag them individually to my ipod on iTunes, but it doesn't do anything.
I tired syncing all podcasts...they didn't show up on my nano. I tried again with syncing selected podcasts...again, got nothing.
Can someone please instruct me on how to get my podcasts onto my nano? I tried reading the manuels but they aren't specific enough (or something's wrong with my nano I guess)

Is it possible that these podcast that you are trying to transfer to your iPod are video podcasts?
If so, you won't be able to transfer them to your iPod, since an iPod nano cannot play any video content; only the Fifth Generation iPods can.

HT6546 How do you get podcast subscriptions to download on my iMac?

I had several podcast subscriptions automatically downloading daily to iTunes on my iMac. When I installed Maverick they stopped and I can't find a way to get them started again. I looked for help on the iTunes site and all it talks about is in connection with a device and nothing about my computer. It tells me to click on things that do not exist and is totally worthless. I tried to resubscribe in the normal manner and it doesn't work beyond downloading a single episode while I wait. it only downloads at the speed of listening to it. How do I get these podcasts started again?

The very first thing you should have done when you got the new External was to change to Mac compatible to Extended and Journaled then all will be well again. Get out the paperwork that came with the Drive and read it.

How do I get podcast artwork to appear in iTunes?

Hi,
I am having difficulty getting podcast artwork that appears in the podcast directory on the iTunes store to appear in iTunes after I've subscribed. For example, if I choose NBC's "Meet the Press (audio)", the directory shows a cover image for the podcast. However, when I subscribe, no cover art appears on my iTunes or my iPod Nano (latest generation). When I click on the podcat image and then select "Get Album Artwork" (either by ctrl+click on the mouse, or the "Advanced" menu), nothing happens.
What might be causing this to happen, and what do I do?
I am using iTunes 10.6.1 (7) on an iMac running Mac OS 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance for any help you could provide!
Tony

Hi Roger,
Thanks for your reply and my apologies for taking longer than hoped to respond. The problem I'm having is that the cover art shows on my iPad (e.g. for "Meet the Press", a weekly American news programme), but it doesn't in either iTunes on my Mac or (consequently) my iPod Nano.
I'm not sure I understand why the image, if it's embedded, would appear on one device but not on another for iTunes?
I tried going to the iTunes store and dragging the cover art across to iTunes on my Mac, but it only brings the link across (rather than the image).
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated!
Thanks and best regards,
Tony

HT5295 How do I get podcasts back into itunes in ios6?

I updated to IOS6 yesterday and found that podcasts had been removed from iTunes and put into the new Podcasts app. Having spent a day using this app, I have found it to be terrible: it's slow (podcasts take 10-20 seconds to start after I select them - and these are podcasts I've already downloaded, no streaming), the "next" button takes you to an older podcast rather than a newer one like in itunes, for some reason it decided I hadn't listened to about 40 podcasts that I had definitely listened to, the interface is unresponsive, etc. I went from having a pleasant podcast experience in IOS5 to a terrible one in IOS6. Does anyone know how to get podcasts back into iTunes, or if that's not possible, can anyone recommend a podcast app that works as smoothly as iTunes did in IOS5?
Thanks!

I've just now stumbled into this briar patch with my 4th Gen IPod Touch. Have only used it to date for music, and it's worked fine.
I would LOVE to add podcasts. I'm able to download them to my iTunes PC files, but the pre-loaded 'music' app doesn't seem to want to play them. I've downloaded the Podcast App, but it's for the IOS series 7.
There are a number of suggestions on line regarding how Apple had recognized this problem and had finally made previous versions available "underneath" the App Store Podcast icon . . . but nothing seems to work.
Did Apple turn around and remove the older Podcast App versions?
Does anyone know how to get Podcast functionality for a 4th gen IOS 6 series? This seems like a basic function for an iPod!

How do i get songs from my nano on to my library on itunes

i had to reinstall itunes but i kept all my music on my nano and i wanted to know how to get music off my nano and on to my library.

Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

How do I get podcasts on my iPod touch 4th gen

I tried to get a podcast on y iPod T4. It the prompted me to download the Podcasts app, but since the Podcasts app requires iOS 7 and the iPod T4 can only get iOS 6.1 I can't get podcasts.

Assuming you sync your iPod Touch to iTunes on your personal computer, you can do a few tricks via iTunes.
Download the podcasts to iTunes on your personal computer.
Move them into a Playlist.
Select all the podcasts in the Playlist and Get Info (Command-I)
You will get a dialog with an "Options" tab.
Under Options change the "Media Kind" from "Podcast" to "Music"
Now in iTunes, arrange to sync that playlist to your iPod Touch.
After you sync with iTunes, you will have a playlist on your iPod Touch that is your podcasts that can be played just like a music playlist, one podcast after another will be played in the order they are arranged in the playlist.
NOTE: If you DO NOT normally sync with iTunes on your personal computer, then be aware that the first sync generally erases the stuff on your iPod Touch, so do not do this without thinking about it.
NOTE 2: When you change the podcast Media Kind to "Music" the podcast will move from the iTunes "Podcast" list to the "Music" list. When it is time to refresh the playlist with new podcasts, it is best to reverse the Media Kind back to Podcast so the old podcasts are not now sitting in your iTunes Music section.
Yes this is a pain to do, but it is also a way to get a random selection of podcasts to play one after another without your needing to mess with your iPod Touch. Very good for long driving trips where you cannot take your hands off the wheel to mess with your iPod Touch.

How do I get Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic?

Hi All...
I'm attempting to do something I've never done before which is transfer Podcasts from iTunes 11 to my iPod Classic (160GB). I tried for a couple of hours last night but I could find out how to download the Podcasts and then tranfer them to the iPod. The Podcasts I'm downloading come in at about 112 podcasts - They're are many but they are each rather small. I can't figure out how to make this work. I'd like to just download and transfer selected podcasts as for some reason when I try to find the podcasts I need others show up in the list too.
Thanks in advance!

This might work.

How do I get podcasts to show up as a selection on Sports kit?

Hi,
I have a new Sports kit I'm using with my g3 nano. I can select/run with my current playlists BUT NOT my podcasts for some very strange reason. Any ideas how to get this to show up on my playlists? Note: This does not happen when I am using the Nano without the Sports Kit.
Much thanks.
Jeff

Are you saying you have made a new playlist and added the podcasts to the playlists? if not then try that, if yes then maybe try changing the podcast info so its just music or something. Change the genre or something like that maybe...
I'll have to test it out and see if I can get it to work...
