How to : auto-delete podcasts from itunes

How can i make itunes to auto-delete a podcast once i have watched it either within itunes or watched it on the iphone? The file is no longer on the iphone when it has been watched but still is in itunes.I have checked podcast settings and set them too "only save not played podcasts"(free translated) for that particular podcast, but they never seem to be deleted from the mac's itunes library and i always have to remove them manually....what am i missing here?

I was also having this issue. I decided to just stop using iTunes for podcasting. For me the way iTunes handles podcasts isn't exactly how I would like it. There are a few things I don't like about it and the bug you mentioned is one of the them. Hopefully we will see improvements on the podcasting feature in the next iTunes release.

  • How do I delete podcasts from my list, how do I delete podcasts from my list

    How do I delete podcasts from my list after they are deleted from my hard drive?  Some old ones have been deleted but the ones since February are still in my list waiting to be downloaded once again.  There are 2 delete options and I'm wondering which one to use.  It no longer gives me an option to delete from my hard drive.  After deleting from my list.  It seems to delete from my hard drive and then sits there.
    I would like to use automatic delete, but I need to know if I can change that to 'Save' during the 24 hour period after I'm done listening to the podcast.
    This morning everything came back in.  I noticed the settings at the top were all changed to d/l all instead of just 1.  I'm confused about this whole thing and cannot find anything in the way of a tutorial on the Apple/iTunes web site.

    Swipe left-to-right across the podcast, hit delete.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

    How do I transfer Podcast from iTunes to my iPhone?

    Plug your iPhone into the computer USB and click on the phone icon on the left side of the screen.  Then, on top of the screen, you will see a "podcasts" tab.  Click it and you will see the opportunity to automatically sync all unplayed episodes, etc.  You might need to select the directory to which you download the podcasts, but this should do it.

  • How can I delete albums from itunes match

    Can you tell me or do you know how I can delete albums from iTunes match please

    I've got a similar problem.
    I know the way how to delete but it didn't work.
    When I delete a song with setting the "delete this song from iCloud" option, it seems to be deleted but after syncing it still exist!
    For example:
    Before deleting I've got 761 songs in Match
    I delete 10 songs with "Also delete this song from iCloud", empty the trash can and start match sync
    After 2 Minutes iTunes Match told me, there are 761 songs available - nothing will be deleted at iTunes Match

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • Deleting podcasts from iTunes library AND iPod?!? HELP.

    I have 61 podcasts on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
    I didn't want them anymore, so I unsubscribed and deleted the podcasts from iTunes.
    I synced to my iPod, assuming that the files would be automatically removed.
    But they weren't.
    I've tried checking and unchecking "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPod device page.
    I've tried checking "Sync all episodes of:.." and then not checking any podcasts.
    It's not worked so far. My iTunes is up to date and everything..my iPod charged..
    Im wondering HOW do you delete podcasts - or any other music, videos...etc - from your iPod and iTunes?
    Please help! Reply soon, I'm in desperate need.
    Thanks.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

  • 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.
