How do you manually manage podcasts on the Ipod?

I subscribed to a podcast on my Itunes but didn't want to Automatically Update because I had podcasts on the Ipod from another machine. I found I could click and drag the individual videos from the podcast from Itunes to the Ipod.
After that the videos showed on the big list in Itunes when I showed the list of ALL songs and videos on the Ipod. But once I ejected the Ipod and browsed the menu the videos were nowhere to be found.
I finally bit the bullet and said goodbye to my old podcast and selected "Automatic Update".... probably should've come here first. But does anybody know how this can be avoided?

Just rightclick the iPOd name in iTUnes, hit "iPod Options" and in the following window hit the sub tab named "Podcast" (Not the tab at the very top, the sub one beside musiv, video, contacts ect ect). There you can set the podcast to manual update while keeping everything else auto update like music.

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

    How do you erase old podcast in the mode list ?

    Thanks.
    Well I used the "List" view on the right and I was able to delete podcasts from there.
    I guess I'll have to get used to another view...
    I also lost all my old poscats archived though.  Not sure if it is because of wonderful 11.1 iTunes or because I bought a new computer. They're all lost. But that's a different problem.
    Since you seem so ressourceful, maybe you can help on another problem that I don't seem to be the only one having ?  Have a look at the discussion titled "
    In iTunes 11.1 when a podcast finishes it starts playing the next oldest one automatically.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

    How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

    It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes.  Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number.  For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
    Song: <Song Title>
    Artist: <Song Artist>
    Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
    Genre: Soundtrack
    I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names.  Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

  • How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

    How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

  • How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

    How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

  • How do you delete all contacts from the iPod

    When I sync a new iPod it pulls all of the contacts that my iPhone has.  How do I delete them from just the iPod?

    Are you using the same iCloud ID on both devices?
    Is Contacts turned on in Settings>iCloud?
    If so then you will have the same contacts.
    Are you syncing contacts fro other services like Google contacts?

  • How do I manually manage videos on my iPod Touch?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm pretty new to this forum. I've google searched some issues I've had with my iPod and gotten answers here as a guest. This is my first post. I've already tried searching for similar posts using the search bar. So I apologize if this is a repost.
    I have a 32GB iPod Touch. I have quite a few movies on it and it is getting quite full. I would like to remove these movies from the iPod without removing them from my iTunes library. When I click 'Manually Manage Music and Videos' in the Summary page for my iPod in iTunes, it doesn't do anything. I go to the movie summary and the only option is whether or not I want to sync my movies.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Charles

    Swipe your finger over the movie on your touch. It should then prompt you to delete the movie.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

    Voice memos can be shared back to a computer in a number of different ways, described in this article -

    What happens when you connect the iPod to the computer and click on Update or check for update button?
    If it says yu have 4.2.1 and are up to date then you likely have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to 4.21. If yours is n 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.  A 32 GB can be either. To identify your iPod:
