How to get podcasts onto my ipod so I can see what's going on?

Hi,
My G3 15GB ipod with version 2.3 on it...
My podcasts sync over from itunes OK. But by the time they get onto my iPOD its really hard to see what's what.
The ipod shows a "Podcasts" playlist. But really they are not presented in an elegant way. What I get is a long list. Grouped by the podcast. But not in the same order as they are on my itunes. I can't figure out what order they are in - some podcasts seem to be oldest to newest, but others are all jumbled up. Perhaps its to do with download order or something.
Worse is that a 3G screen isn't that big, and most of the titles are completely non-unique. So I can't tell which episode is which. So right now I have 5 titles that say "iTunes New Music T...", 5 that say "Update Wizard 200...", 5 "Inside Mac Radio - ...". What good is that?
I'm looking for suggestions as to how to organise this so I can see what's happening. What I'd like is:
- a top level that just has the podcast title,
- a second level for each podcast with the episodes
- I'd like to see the episode date rather than, or as well as, the title.
Lastly, I'd really like ability to create a "listening program" for me - a "smart playlist" - basically a playlist that will take me through my new podcasts. that would make it easier to hear the new stuff in the car without having a crash whilst trying to figure out what is what on my ipod.
Suggestions would be welcome. Apple, I think you really could do better on this one.

I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

  • How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle?

    How do i get podcasts onto my ipod shuffle???

    Hey wolfpro55,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    To copy audiobooks or podcasts to the iPod shuffle, it must be configured to manually manage music. Once configured, you can drag and drop different podcasts/playlists to the iPod shuffle.
    Fore more information, see this resource:
    iPod shuffle: Playing audiobooks and podcasts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1831
    The Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to any iPod model. They can be manually added by dragging them to the iPod shuffle in iTunes.
    For iPod shuffle (3rd generation), you must enable Manually manage music in the Summary tab to drag songs to iPod shuffle. Additionally, you can automatically sync audiobooks using the Music tab and sync podcasts using the Podcasts tab in iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    It's possible that it did actually add the game but you're not seeing it in iTunes. Go to iTunes Preferences > General and make sure there's a checkmark next to iPod games.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync the music that you want on your iPod

  • Computer destroyed .. how to get purchases onto new computer

    I'm pretty much computer illiterate except for surfing the internet and using Word.
    I purchased several songs from itunes onto a computer which was destroyed (fire). I have a new computer (Latitude with Windows XP) and although I see all my old purchases listed when i look up my account, I don't know how to get them onto my new computer.
    Can someone help me? Thanks.

    Click here and fill out the form to ask for a free redownload; if your request isn't granted, you need to purchase the songs again to get them back.
    Apple pays the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

    I provided a link to a 90 minute sports show above.... Is there anyway I can get this podcast onto my iPod if it was not put into Itunes???
    Thanks

    Unless you can download the file to your computer and save it in iTunes, you won't be able to get those podcasts onto your iPod.
    It might be possible to record them, save them on the computer, add them to iTunes, then to the iPod-->but I do not know how you could do that on a Windows machine.

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • How do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod, how do i play an audiobook i purchased from itunes on my computer? i cannot get it onto my ipod

    I purchased an audiobook from itunes and  i see it in my library but cannot get it onto my ipod nor am i able to listen to it on the computer...any suggestions? obviously i'm a new ipod user lol

    What happens when you try to play it in your iTunes library? Does it appear under the audibooks section?
    Is your iPod configured to sync audiobooks from under its Audiobooks configuration tab?  To find this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This should bring you to the Summary tab.  From there, look for the Audibooks tab and make the appropriate configurations to get it over to your iPod.
