How do I restrict playlists to downloaded podcasts only?

After upgrading to iTunes 12, I've discovered the behaviour of playlists (note, not Stations) has changed with respect to podcasts.
The playlists now include all episodes that can be found in the podcast feed, whether or not I've downloaded them. This change of behaviour is a problem for a number of reasons but the summary is almost none of my playlists now work as intended, nor can I find a way to make them to.
A solution would be to restrict the playlists to just the podcasts downloaded to the computer (i.e. how it always used to work!) but I can't find a way -
I can't find any playlist criterion that excludes podcasts I haven't downloaded.
I've tried adding a "Location - is - on this computer" criteria to my playlists - see example - but it makes no difference.
Can anyone help - has anyone successfully restricted a playlist to just podcasts downloaded to their computer?
Windows 7
iTunes 12.1.1.4
This doesn't work:
Under the suspicion the new(ish) stations feature is actually trying to achieve the same thing I am, I've spent a lot of time trying reproduce my old functionality (or, indeed, any useful alternative) with no success. Despite minor improvements in iTunes 12 they're still a hopeless mess. I doubt the solution lies there
Shame. It was superior playlisting features (and album shuffle) that converted me to iTunes in the first place (sometime around version 4 or 5 from memory...).
Once I solve this one, I'll then move on to getting podcasts to download reliably again. That behaviour seems to have changed

Isn't a one-on-one conversation what happens on a support call? My issue wasn't that I couldn't have a conversation with someone, it's that I couldn't have a conversation with anyone who was knowledgeable.... It wouldn't hurt for apple to reach out from time to time (in the same way Google staffers sometimes do) either, but I've never seen it.
Anyway... what am I looking for?
Podcasting! (Combined with an intuitive and reliable media manager). So that rules Spotify out (no podcasts, unless I'm missing something?)
Besides, I have my own concerns about Spotify. They're a bit of a shambles, and have been for a while. Probably going to drop my subscription to them.
That's another vote for MediaMonkey then - will definitely look at it again (it's been a while).
Also intend to take a look at gPodder and gPodder.net - might also give me the cross-device synchronisation I've been looking for? Like many, I can't get Apples iCloud based podcast sync to behave.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Cheers

How do I restrict number of downloads at a single time in the download window?

How do I restrict number of downloads at a single time in the download window?
I want to restrict the number of downloads at a time. Other downloads should be in a queue. For example, if I restrict as 5 downloads are available at a time, the 6th download should be in a queue and should start any one of the download is completed. And the next download should resume ... and so on. So at any point of time only 5 (or it should be specified) downloads should be possible. Is there any settings can be done in FireFox for this? Please help.

Firefox 3.0.15 is no longer supported. You should upgrade to a new version.

How do you restrict web browsing to view only specified sites for business use?

Hello, I need to restrict the use of Firefox and Internet Explorer to only specified websites that we use for business use.
I have a problem with a number of employees using unauthorized and dangerous websites that have put my business computers at risk.
Since it is impossible to police the employees viewing habits in real time, I need to restrict the viewing. How do I set up a list of only allowed sites that can only be overridden by admin privileges despite user accounts?

You will have to block such unwanted sites in a firewall or router or proxy and only allow access via that proxy.<br />
All other ways can easily circumvented, by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]] if it is an extension or by using a portable Firefox version.

How do I restrict users from downloading?

I am trying to a create a generic student account on several new iMacs. I need to prevent students from downloading or installing programs, such as limewire. I would also like this account to delete all files when the "student" user is logged out, like the guest account. Can I just rename the guest account "student"?
I am sure this is any easy answer. The Mac's are brand new in our school and I am still trying to figure everything out. Lovin' it so far. Thanks for any help!!

you can create new user account(s), set them to restricted and then use the children protection feature of OSX to enforce a lot of settings to these users.
You need only 2 items in SystemSettings : 1. Users ( heads icon ) and 2. the Children Protection item ( yellow icon -- I dont know how it is called in english OSX ).

How do I restrict access so users can only visit certain sites?

At work we are setting up a laptop in order to do only one thing - use one particular website. I'd like to make sure nobody can visit any other sites.

Your secure computer has a piece of unpleasant software - My Web Search. Remove any signs of it in Add-ons>Extensions and Plug-ins. Also check in Add/Remove Programs(Programs and Features in Win7). Also make sure you don't have any entries for Fun Web Products.
You are showing Fx3.5.8. If that is so, it is high time you updated. Chances are, though, that My Web Search has frozen your User Agent String.
Google for further information but don't accept advice from people behind these products. You can also look in the Search Firefox Help box above.

How do you restrict the scorm reporting to only set raw value if 100

I have an issue with the LMSSetValue cmi.core.score.raw output from a Captivate 4 course published to SCORM 1.2.
I need to customise it so that the course only sends an LMSSetValue command to the LMS if cmi.core.score.raw is '100', and not on every slide when the value is '0'
Can anyone help me with some code for the course html file?
Thanks
Dave

What the remote user can do is to implement this policy . Allow UDP protocol on port 5060 but the only source should be west.broadcore.com.
Unfortunately, Apple routers are quite simple, and do not have the features and settings that you would need to do this.
However, if you are using a modem/router or gateway device with the AirPort Express, then you might be able to set up the modem/router to do what you need. What is the make and model number of the device that you likely call your "modem"?

How do I restrict multicolumn listbox to only two colums

HI
I wanted to have a Multicolumn Listbox with only 2 visible colums and no horizontal scrollbar in order to make it look like a regular listbox only with 2 columns? can I get make the column and row borders invisible?

Righ-click on it and select "properties". On the apperance tab uncheck the vertical and horizontal scroll bars and select 2 columns and the desired number of rows.
To make the grid lines invisible, right-click and select "visible items" and uncheck horizontal and vertical lines as desired.
(On much older LabVIEW versions some of this might be different. What version do you have?)
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Partial downloads podcasts deleting

How do you delete a partial downloaded podcast from iphone

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Since I updated to ios 5.1.1 I'm getting " Unable to download podcast" error? Is there any fix for this?

How can I fix unable to download podcast error, even if I retry it gives me the same message with all the podcasts I have in my iPhone. How can I fix this?

Are you seeing the same message with Apple's Podcasts app? More info about the Podcasts app here -> About the Podcasts app for iOS
Is this happening with all podcasts? Maybe the server that hosts that podcast is down or it's having problems, try testing with one of the other top rated podcasts.

How to restrict a User to access only 2-3 views in MM01/MM02 ???

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how can I restrict a User to access only 2-3 views in MM01/MM02 and also the User should not be allowed to change the View selection by clicking on the Select Views button ?.
Regards,
Lucky

Hi Prashant,
Can this only be done through changes in Authorization Objects ? Is not there any setting which can be done in SPRO for this ?
Hi Sheshagiri,
I could not exactly understand how the access to MM Views can be restricted to User through TCode OMT3B i.e. in SSeq. 01 and Screen 07 ? Subscreen 2154 is for Mat. Groups ? Please explain your answer in detail.

How Do I Stop iTunes Downloading Podcasts?!

Situation: I use the iOS Podcasts app, from Apple. I have done so for a while now, no problem; keeps my podcasts up to date and deletes old ones.
Since the recent update to iTunes (11.1.3 is installed on my Mac), it now keeps itself in sync with podcasts.
I do not want this. I do not listen to podcasts on my Mac, and I don't want it to waste time/resources/electrons/bandwidth downloading podcasts. However, I could forgive that problem except for one crucial thing: it gets it wrong.
All. The. Time.
My podcasts are now being set as unread, old podcasts are being downloading on my iPhone, it's a crazy situation where sync is not working right. I've tried to delete podcasts on my Mac (they come back). I've unsubscribed from them and deleted them (they come back).
They're never effected on my iPhone, except, of course, that they're incorrectly updated with played information - old podcasts are resurrected from the dead, last played positions are wrong, and so on, despite never, ever, ever using iTunes to play a podcast.
How, please, anyone, can I stop iTunes from being "helpful?" This is superbly broken behaviour. It's not ideal if it downloads podcasts on my Mac, but the deal breaker is when it destroys all the positions and last listened and undeletes episodes I've deleted. That's kind of: what's the point of the iOS app if it fails the fundamental task of ... keeping your podcasts correctly up to date?
Help.

In the Podcasts window click settings near the bottom left. Change to, for example, download most recent instead of download all.

How can I download podcasts from new PC to my iPhone 4s?

The phone had been using an iMac iTunes. I've now gone to a PC. (Forced to a PC because FCPX won't support my new video camera.) On new itunes, I registered new computer, backed up iphone, synced iphone (I think) and downloaded purchased music to new computer. But ... I can't get podcasts. I can't transfer old itunes library because it's on a large external hard drive that is not FAT 31. I am willing to lose stuff on present iPhone (only one purchased app) and I can restore music, but how do I get the iphone and new computer together so I can download podcasts, new music, new apps, etc?

If you have synced with iTunes on your new computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone would have been erased first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this would occur.
Do you have Sync Podcasts selected under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and are there any podcasts available in your iTunes library on your new PC?
