How do you remove unplayed podcasts in iTunes 11.1

How do you removed unplayed podcasts from iTunes 11.1?  The new version lists all of the available podcasts, including those that have already been played.  As a result it is necessary to scroll through very long lists of podcasts to see what is available on the next podcast.

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

  • How can I remove a podcast from iTunes if iTunes is locked up.

    I added a password protected podcast and iTunes locks up on the authentication dialog. Spinning beachball... only thing I can do is force quit.
    Earlier solution was to go in and manually disable podcasts with Xcode. but then i can't play any of my podcasts.
    The recent itunes update fixed the problem, sort of. it allowed me to use itunes normally again. But, I tried to subscribe to the podcast agin and... yup, same thing.
    How can I remove that podcast from iTunes without using iTunes to remove it?
    HELP!!!!

    ROGER, I AM SORRY I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE 10 POINT RATING. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT MADE A DIFFERENCE AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS NOT WITH YOUR RESPONSE, WHICH WAS RIGHT ON, BUT WITH THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.

  • How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account

    How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account without entering a new one because added money to account from gift card?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • How do you remove old podcasts?

    How can I remove old podcasts off my itunes and off my ipod?

    To remove podcasts from your iTunes library:
    In the Source List of iTunes, go to the "Podcasts" area under "Library".
    Here, you can select the podcasts that you want to delete, and drag those files to your Recycle Bin, or just click the "Delete" key on your keyboard.
    To remove podcasts from your iPod:
    Connect your iPod to your computer. Click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes. Go to the "Podcast" tab.
    Here, you will see your podcast syncing settings that you have set up for this iPod.
    If you have already deleted the podcasts that you want to delete from iTunes (and if your iPod is automatically syncing podcasts), then all you need to do is let it sync with your iPod, which would delete those podcasts off your iPod.
    If you have not removed those podcasts from your iTunes library, but you would like them off your iPod, then take a look at your syncing settings.
    If the main "Sync" option for Podcasts is selected, then you can alter whether you want certain recent/unplayed/new/etc. podcasts to go onto your iPod.
    Or, if you have the "Selected podcasts" setting selected, then you can select/deselect what podcasts you want on your iPod using that method.

  • HT2905 how do you remove duplicate libraries from itunes

    I recently purchased a new window9.1 computer.  I tried to move the library to the new pc by using an external haddrive. The songs and other items all transfered, but the mudic remsined on the externalmedia informaiton files, I had to connect the drive to listen to music..  I worked with tech support and copied themusioc files to ITunes. When I reopened the media files and copied music were on the system.  ITunes recognzed there was missing information on the  media data file and corrected it, so oe I have 20,000 sonfs in a 10,000 song library.How do you delete massive duplicates without individually deleting10,000 songs?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • How do you submit a podcast to iTunes? The instruction page is outdated

    I spent 8 hours today trying to figure out how to submit my podcast to iTunes. The PODCASTING AND ITUNES: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION page has outdated information. For instance where it says under TESTING YOUR FEED to select "Subscribe to Podcast" in the Advanced menu. There is no option in the new 7.0 iTunes matching this. Later, under SUBMITTING YOUR PODCAST TO ITUNES it says under the "Music Store" category to click on podcasts, but once again there is no option for podcasts there. If somebody can explain how to submit a podcast to iTunes, it would be so much appreciated. Our podcast is new, but our radio show has been around for a long time. The link to our rss feed has been tested and it works. It is and http://www.rnnradio.com/rss2.aspx
    Please help!

    The following short cuts shoul help you make iTunes more like it used to.
    ALT shows the menu bar temporarily
    CTRL+B show/hide menu bar
    CTRL+S show/hide side bar
    CTRL+/ show/hide status bar
    To make search more like it was, click on magnifying glass in search bar and uncheck "search entire library"

  • How do you remove TV shows from ITunes,

    I have removed them from my iPad and it says there are no videos but they are still in my iTunes on my iPad and I want to load another show and it is telling me that I do not have the space on my iPad

    lc general wrote:
    Because, like the initial question pointed to,
    Two different topics seem to have been in this thread.
    The initial question (by Spanky0212) simply asked how to delete TV shows from iTunes.
    Then jwutzkechimed in with deleting downloads, not items that are already in iTunes.
    but they will constantly come back when you do a sync/update/check for downloads.
    Sync, update and check for downloads are completely different tasks and in no way related.
    Sync does just that. it syncs the iDevice with iTunes.
    Update will update OS the iDevice.
    Check for downloads has nothign to do with iDevice. It checks iTunes store for items you have not completed downloading.
    I don't know why the DELETE / MOVE FILES TO TRASH option doesn't work in iTunes; but the directions I listed above does.
    Are the items you are trying to delete, located in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced?
    Do you have Keep iTunes media folder organized checked? If not to either of these, iTunes will not delete them.
    Per your instructions above, the item will still be listed in iTunes.

  • How do you remove fraudelant charges from itunes app "words with friends, WORD-O_Meter from Zynga Mobile"

    I purchased this app July 5, 2013 and was charged 2 times that day. Now it keeps telling me I have run out uses  and i need to renew. It has charged me 4 times on July 20, 3013. The app is a crook, please remove all the charges from my account.
    Two of the charges are on Itunes store receipt No.197055768594
    I need to know if the apps store has shared my credit card information with the Zynga mobile company? Do I need to cancel my credit card to prevent Zynga mobile from charging any other charges or worse yet selling my account number.
    If you google "zynga mobile fraud" then you will get a lot of information on "zynga mobile".
    You need to stop all payments to Zynga they are causing the apps store to cheat your customers.
    I have CC this email to Bill Husted (Technobuddy), who is a syndicated newspaper writer that I read in "the Atlanta Journal-Constitution".
    Thanks for looking into this.

  • How do i remove duplicate podcasts

    how do i remove duplicate podcasts in itunes?

    If you mean a duplicated series?
    Grouping podcasts
    A podcast series will split up in this way when its feed is moved to a new URL. Merging the series requires editing all the older episodes so that they appear to have come from the current feed. Download and install Mp3Tag (not sure of a Mac equivalent offhand). Use it to explore the Extended tags of podcasts from the same series. PODCASTURL (formerly ITUNESPODCASTURL) is used to link different podcasts from the same subscription (as opposed to fields like Album & Album Artist etc.) and PODCASTID (formerly ITUNESPODCASTID) determines the order. Everything else seems to be optional. Backup your files, tweak a few a tags then highlight the changed files in turn in iTunes with the image pane set to Selected item. This is marginally quicker for small numbers of files than using select, Get Info, OK to get iTunes to refresh its knowledge of the tags. Erm, last I checked the method no longer works anyway. If iTunes still fails to notice the updated tags try my script UpdateTagInfo (Win).
    As far as I'm aware the order is determined by the PODCASTID, but if you need/want to modify the Release Date then in MP3Tag/Extended Tags it corresponds to RELEASETIMEin the format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ, e.g. 2008-02-20T09:10:52Z
    If you mean duplicated episodes?
    Create a smart playlist with the rule Podcast is true, display exact duplicates, and then apply my DeDuper script.

  • How do you remove a downloaded podcast

    I clicked Free Doanload on a podcast. Now I want to delete it. It doesn't show up in iTunes under podcasts under ATV. How do you remove it?
    For that matter, the ATV is trying to sync podcasts that I have not asked it to sync. How do you reset the prefs so that it forgets this action?
    Some bugs here and there ...

    Actually, there is a little trash can next to the title which I never noticed. You select it and the download goes away. Nice touch.
