How to delete un-listened to podcasts from itunes and iPod touch

Hi all,
I'm sure this is an easy one.
I have a bunch of old podcasts (The New York Times front page) that I never listened to. I can delete them off the iPod Touch 4G by swiping and then hitting "delete," but of course they come back when I sync to iTunes.
How can I get these old podcasts off iTunes forever? I have checked "automatically include all unplayed episodes of all podcasts." Surely the answer is in there somewhere, but I don't want to delete the unplayed episodes of OTHER podcasts.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

How can I get these old podcasts off iTunes forever? I
Select them in iTunes then press Delete.

  • Can't synch Podcast from Itunes to IPOD Touch

    I'm no longer able to synch a paid subscription PODCAST from my computer to my Apple devices.  The response says "Unable to Authorize", although the new episodes can be played on my  Microsoft PC where ITUNES resides.  This happened immediately after updating to iOS 8.  I've deleted and resubscribed to the podcast, but the situation exists.

    Did you select your sync options?

  • ITunes 7 deleted "Downloads" folder of music from iTunes and iPod

    In iTunes 6 I had iTunes point towards "My Music" folder in windows for my library.
    One of the folders in "My Music" was called "Downloads".
    NB: the music in "Downloads" is NOT my music downloaded from the iTunes Music Store... it isn't copy protected etc...
    Upon upgrading to iTunes 7, i got !'s next to all my 'downloads' music.
    I checked the folder and non of the music was there... all completely gone.
    I do have a back up of this music, so not all is lost, but the backup is at home and I won't be able to get it for a few weeks.
    So in the mean time, I plugged my iPod in, hoping to copy the downloads music off it to use until i could get my backup.
    When i plugged my ipod in I got that nice new overview screen of whats on your ipod and it told me there was an update available. Ok thats cool, I'll download it an install it later (so i chose that option...)
    As soon as I had done this, the iPod started updating itself and poof... all the downloads are gone of the iPod!!
    Ive never had this happen before, usually if there is music on the ipod that isn't in itunes it just leaves it in there and syncs what is in my library.
    I then went back to the Downloads folder in My Music to do some investigating. It turns out there were some itunes related files in there. What! iTunes deleted my "Downloads" folder, and replaced it with its own one? Grr...
    Unfortunately i didn't write down what those files are, but I believe they were the files for the iPod update.
    The update of my ipod actually failed and i can't get it to work... and since that has happened, the downloads folder isn't even there at all anymore. My guess would be that if i could get itunes to do the update again, the folder would reappear with those files again.

    HERE IS A way too long diplomatic rant:
    This is my third post on this subject. This is a real problem. And it strongly appears (based on what I've been reading from others, plus my own experience) that the new iTunes is the culprit.
    But this problems is not limited to a folder named 'Downloads'.[/b.] ITunes, somehow, and for some reason, will delete entire album folders of music in the default 'Music' directory.
    Here's what happened to me. Mind you, this involves music I converted to MP3's from CD's I own. I buy about ten-twenty CD's a month, so this is not some Orwellian nightmare affecting merely downloaded songs--purchased or otherwise.
    Here is a typical example of what's happening:
    BEFORE iTunes v7 was installed:
    -An 'Artist' folder named 'A Perfect Circle' contained the following 'Album' folders: 'Mer De Noms', 'The Thirteenth Step', 'eMotive'
    SHORTLY AFTER iTunes 7 (about a month or so ago):
    -Perfect Circle folder contained only the eMotive album. The rest were gone: this means not in the trash. Not moved. No where on the HD. Simply zapped.
    I've lost MP3 albums from purchased CD's from Bob Marley, Led Zeppellin, Bjork, etc. It has affected at least 50 artist folders. I rip entire albums that I buy: I'm not trying to pass judgement though. I just want the point to be driven home that this bug is big, and it's affecting people who have spent much time and energy legitimately converting their music collections.
    Am I missing something? I know I'm not alone in this, but this bug doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves from Apple. This is a major screw up. HAS APPLE RELEASED A STATEMENT? Forgive me if it has. But I can't find it. Maybe it's right under my nose?
    Anyway, I do have all my music backed up on CD's and DVD's where they can't be corrupted. And all those discs are copied and stored in a remote location, in case of fire. This might seem extreme, but when you've spent a year of your life converting hundreds of albums and tagging them meticulously, you don't take chances. The only problem with this backup method is that my backup is spread out over many, many read-only discs. Moving it back to my hard drive will be laborious.
    Can someone tell me if Apple has addressed this? Because I don't want to use iTunes at all if it is going to delete files. And I DON'T care if this is some function I'm not aware of. Any software that would delete files, either mistakingly or through some helpful feature is bad software. Deleting files (w/o even sending it to the Trash!) is one function that ought not be automated, or performed by any application other than the OS itself, under direct control from the user. I've turned off the option that lets iTunes manage and 'organize' my music for me. I can do that myself, and I don't like some of the things it does.
    I have a friend in the media, and I'm thinking about issuing a press-release on this bug if further research indicates this is a more pervasive problem that Apple is downplaying. Certainly they are aware of it, as others have written on it here and elsewhere.
    Can someone from Apple please contact me? I want to know when it is safe to use this program again. This problem is real, and just because it hasn't affected everyone, doesn't mean it has affected someone.

  • How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

    How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

    It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
    If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

  • How long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    how long will UK delivery take for a iPhone4s and iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Water damage voids your warranty, so you only option with Apple is an out of warranty exchange.  You can check what that fee would be in your country on the support pages.
    Note that since Apple does not (and never has) repair iOS devices (they exchange them with factory refurbished units), there is no Apple certified training program for iOS repairs, no official parts supply and hence no such thing as an Apple Authorized repair technician or center for any iOS device.  Any repairs you have done by a 3rd party shop you do on your own and you must be prepared to live with the results, whatever they are, as Apple will not accept a device that has been worked on by someone else.

  • How to Delete errated Downloads on iPad from iTunes store

    I tried to download some podcast in the itunes store but they report an error and cannot be downloaded.
    They seem to block other downloads like films.
    How can I delete these non downloadable podcast from the list?
    Thanks for your answers
    Eric

    If you want to download them from iTunes then you will need to pay for them.
    If you've already purchased them from iTunes but no longer have them on your iPad then you might be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app

  • Help-cannot download podcast from itunes to ipod.  error msg

    I have the IPOD video 30gb, 5th generation, and have itunes 7.02..
    I am able to download the podcast from itunes into my library, but am unable to download it onto my ipod. an error msg pops up:
    "...was not copied to the IPOD because it cannot be played on this IPOD."
    I've searched and searched for an answer to this, and it appears to be a somewhat common problem with the itunes upgradeto 7.02
    does any one have a solution?!?
    HELP! (i'm an ipod newbie-and this is driving me absolutely MAD!!)

    OMG-i just figured it out!!
    *first of all, i came across this in the itunes store help area-->
    "Why won't some video podcasts play on my iPod?
    Some video podcasts, while playable in iTunes, are encoded in formats that are not compatible with iPods. To convert those videos so that they are iPod-compatible, highlight the video in iTunes, right-click on the selection, and choose "Convert Selection for iPod". iTunes will automatically re-encode the video for playback on iPod. Go to the Movies section of your Library to find and play the converted episodes.
    *i had converted the podcast previously, but i had just continued to try and transfer it from the podcast section rather than going to the movie's section, and dragging it from there. once i did that, it worked!
    hope this helps anyone else out there, as i did come across a few other queries...

  • How to correctly sync from Itunes after Ipod touch

    Hi,
    I just got a new Iphone 3G, after having used an Ipod touch. I synced the Iphone from Itunes, and all my existing apps and settings have synced OK, but all the apps are empty and none of my photos, videos etc. have synced - even though I went through every tab on the device in Itunes and pressed Sync. What do I need to do to get my Iphone just like my Touch?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes. Make sure you have at least one contact in the contacts list on your phone. Connect your touch, do not sync, rather right click the touch in the device pane and select "backup". Once complete, un-mount your touch, connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC, right click the phone in the device pane & select "reset warnings". Once done, right click again and select "restore from backup". Select the backup you just made. Once the restore is complete, this must be followed by a sync to put your itunes content back on your phone. You should get a popup regarding your contacts, to merge or replace, select merge. All you should have to add to your phone are wifi & email passwords, as these are not copied over for security reasons. Your phone should now look exactly like your touch.

  • HT1386 Problem Syncing Music from Itunes to Ipod Touch.

    I have one music album on Itunes that won't sync with my Ipod touch.  I tried deleting it from Itunes and then adding it again.  Still not on Ipod.  Also, I have several albums in Itunes that the music will sync but the album artwork will not.

    Try redownloading them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Sync them to your iPod for an iTunes library using the manual method

  • Transfering music from itunes to ipod touch

    I bought my ipod touch about 8 months ago and I used to transfer music without creating an itunes library and every thing worked OK.  I updated my itunes and ipod software about a month ago and I have had nothing but problems.   I now use an itunes library and transfer my music from it to my ipod.   I just recently updated to the latest software and firmware and now I can't move any music from the library to the ipod.  I drag the song from the library to my device and let it go and it flashes a couple of times and that is it, nothing else.  Does anyone know what is going on?  Help!

    There is a problem with itunes or maybe ios7. Most user can's transfer their music on any ios devices.
    I have unistalled itunes and reinstalled it with no luck. As usual..... apple will wake up and fix this issue.
    It sounds weird but every time apple releases new major upgrades there is always a BUG that ****** off users like you and I. But there is always a fix at the corner.
