How to List Entire Contents of iPod?

I manualy manage my podcasts. It used to be that I could list the podcasts and music together in one directory on the iPod, then manually delete the Podcasts I did not have time to listen to. Merely deleting them from a playlist does not delete them from the iPod.
Now, I am unable to list those podcasts on my iPod. I do not want to sync, I want to manually delete them. How can I bring up a list of ALL contents, music and podcasts together, so that I may delete them?

Hi Ismn:
Then you probably haven't got any podcasts on the iPod yet.
-> Put some on there.
[ John ] I have over 95 podcasts on it.
OR
Your iPods firmware isn't up to date.
-> update your iPod.
[ John ] The app says I have the latest but I will look for another version manually to be 100% sure.
OR (most likely)
You have turned off podcast sync, while you're updating music and videos automatically.
-> check "manually manage music and video" on the iPods summary.
[ John ] It is...and has been checked. I have been doing it manually using iTunes 6 for over a year now.
The only reason I not insanely ****** off is that I also own Anapod Explorer and it is working fine. I can clean off files using that...

  • 3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

    3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

    use the parameter SQLFILE in the impdp which writes all the sql ddl's to the specified file.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm
    SQLFILE
    Default: none
    Purpose
    Specifies a file into which all of the SQL DDL that Import would have executed, based on other parameters, is written.
    Syntax and Description
    SQLFILE=[directory_object:]file_name
    The file_name specifies where the import job will write the DDL that would be executed during the job. The SQL is not actually executed, and the target system remains unchanged. The file is written to the directory object specified in the DIRECTORY parameter, unless another directory_object is explicitly specified here. Any existing file that has a name matching the one specified with this parameter is overwritten.
    Note that passwords are not included in the SQL file. For example, if a CONNECT statement is part of the DDL that was executed, it will be replaced by a comment with only the schema name shown. In the following example, the dashes indicate that a comment follows, and the hr schema name is shown, but not the password.
    -- CONNECT hr
    Therefore, before you can execute the SQL file, you must edit it by removing the dashes indicating a comment and adding the password for the hr schema (in this case, the password is also hr), as follows:
    CONNECT hr/hr
    For Streams and other Oracle database options, anonymous PL/SQL blocks may appear within the SQLFILE output. They should not be executed directly.
    Example
    The following is an example of using the SQLFILE parameter. You can create the expfull.dmp dump file used in this example by running the example provided for the Export FULL parameter. See FULL.
    impdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=expfull.dmpSQLFILE=dpump_dir2:expfull.sql
    A SQL file named expfull.sql is written to dpump_dir2.

  • How to list the content of a URL

    Hi All,
    I am wondering whether the method of listing the content of a URL, is the same as listing a directory on a local system? The listing of a local directory can be achieved with the following code for example:
        File dir = new File("directoryName");
        String[] children = dir.list();
        if (children == null) {
            // Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
        } else {
            for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) {
                // Get filename of file or directory
                String filename = children;
    // It is also possible to filter the list of returned files.
    // This example does not return any files that start with `.'.
    FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
    public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
    return !name.startsWith(".");
    children = dir.list(filter);
    // The list of files can also be retrieved as File objects
    File[] files = dir.listFiles();
    // This filter only returns directories
    FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
    public boolean accept(File file) {
    return file.isDirectory();
    files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);However, I am not sure whether it is as simple as replacing "directoryName" with "http://www.abc.com/photos" when using java.net.*.
    I am automating a task to download all photos in a gallery at certain website.
    Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
    Many thanks,

    Hi paulcw, JoachimSauer,
    Thanks for answering to this post.
    I am only trying to automate some downloads of quite a of photo albums of relatives overseas. It only takes a few weddings to take hours to download. Moreover, the reason for having made the photos on the Internet so that the relevant parties can do their own download at their convenience for free as opposed to costing the individual to spend time and money on burn dozens of DVDs... After all, this is information age we are living in.
    Lastly, I am hoping to use the getContentType() method to determine the exact type of image such as jpg, gif, etc but doesn't appears that it is doing the right job. Is there any other way to do this instead?
    Thanks a lot again,
    Jack

  • How does one remove content from iPod/iPhone using iTunes 11

    Well, I can more or less get content on my mobile devices with iTunes 11 (managed manually, as I've always done).  How do I get it off?  I have a series of files formatted as audiobooks (continuing education). I put them on my iPhone (for in the office) and iPod (in the car to work).  Now I'm done - and can't get them off.  Going on the Music app doesn't allow me to remove an audiobook, and that's never been an option on the iPod.  When I try to do it through iTunes, I get the following:
    Pod:  I can at least FIND the files on "On This iPod", but cannot find any option to delete (and I tried both del and command-del).  I ended up having to set it up to sync, which I dont like as I typically (for space issues) keep my audiobook library on an external disk - anything I put on the Pod has to stay on the hard drive till I finish listening to it.
    Phone:  I can't view the content on the phone other than apps.  Via iTunes, I can't even see what's there, much less do anything with it.
    Am I missing something?  There seems to be no option to manually manage media anymore - I can't do it without syncing, and that requires me to leave everything on my hard drive indefinitely.
    If anyone's found a solution I missed (other than the process to revert back to 10.7, that is), I;d appreciate a point in the right direction.  Mahalo!

    When you click on your device you are presented with the pages
    Summary
    Info
    Apps
    Tones
    Music
    Movies
    TV shows
    Books
    Photos
    To remove Audiobooks depending on the type of Audiobook ie a series of mp3 files you will find under music and probably have to deselect the album name to remove it. I don't have any of these as I download from Audible or I use Audiobook Builder to stictch together mp3 files into m4b files. To find these Click on Books you will immediately see a section for books (in reality ebooks). Scroll down past that and you will see Audiobooks where you can select and deselect. Deselect the required Audiobooks and Click Sync

  • Unsure how to copy current contents of iPod back to iTunes for future use

    Had a system failure that required operating system upgrade to Windows Vista. This left iPod with orphaned content that does not show on iTunes. Am afraid that if I put new content on the iPod, the old would now be gone forever. Looking for a ready-access backup version to be held on iTunes such that it can be reloaded at any time.
    P.S. - Also, under Vista and iTunes 7, I no longer seem to be able to create new/distinct playlists.
    Thanks...

    If you've lost all of the music you had saved on your pc and it only survives now on your iPod, then one of the easiest ways to repopulate iTunes with the music from your iPod is to follow the instructions on this thread...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1643495&#1643495
    As for backing up iTunes, check out Apple's technical article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392 on how to do this. I think there are other methods of doing it as well. Search this forum and you'll find lots of discussions about it.

  • How to view ENTIRE contents of folder

    I have a clip art folder of over 5 thousand items. When I click on the folder heading, I see a list of all the items. But to see a thumbnail, I have to click on each item.
    How can I open this folder so that I can see ALL of the thumbnails at once, so that I can get a quick scan of what I want?

    In the Finder open a window in icon view then do command-j and increase the icon size and make sure show icon preview is checked.

  • 27.56 GB of other listed in contents of ipod

    I don't understand what the 27.56 GB of "other" is on my ipod. I have only sync'd and transferred music files from Windows Media Player, and photo's from Adobe Photo shop. It's taking up almost half of my available space on my ipod. Please if anyone can tell me what this is, or theorize on how I can find out, please let me know.

    Bingo. You said you used Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player doesn't add songs the way it should for an iPod and therefore will not show up on your iPod's UI or even in iTunes for that matter. Try accessing your iPod through my computer to check your files. Anything in there will most likely be "Other"
    Only Calendars, Notes, iPod_Control, and Contacts should be there unless u use your iPod as a external hard drive.

  • Syncing iPod Touch 1G replaces entire contents of iPod

    Hi,
    Apologies if this has been covered somewhere else, but I can't find any reference to this problem. For some reason, my iPod Touch has started to replace everything on my iPod when I sync it. I'm talking both music and videos - but all it does it put the same content back on there.
    Once it's synced, it all works fine, but it means that syncing takes forever. The most annoying part is that this doesn't happen on every sync, but maybe 1 out of 3, without any settings being changed.
    All of my software is up to date, and I've restored my iPod. Still happening though. Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I'm not sure what would cause that either but I would run the MacBook through a restart cycle to see if that clears it up.

  • How to delete personal content from iPod touch

    I have an Ipod touch (32GB & 4th generation) that has been dropped countless times. On thanksgiving I accidentally dropped it again. When I picked it up, the screen turned white. After hold the home button and main power button for about 10 seconds it was semi-normal (could only function when hold the main power button). It slipped from my hands again causing the screen to permanently turn black. The ironic thing is that I could still press the home button and request for music to be played. I figured if I let the music play the battery would die. It finally did. Now when I plug it into iTunes it will charge but the screen is still black what do I do? I would like to delete my personal informatin (such as email, facebook, etc.) Can I do that from my computer? Is there no point in trying to do so once the iPod is completely dead? If there isn't a point in trying to do so, I will just properly dispose of it!
    Like I stated before, this isn't the first time it has been dropped. The very first time it fell on some concrete and the screen cracked. At thsi time my warranty had expired and I wasn't willing to cough up more than $50 to get it fixed.
    I would like to extend a huge thank you to whoever can answer my questions and give me some feedback!

    If iTunes sees the iPod then
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore ti factory settings/new iPod via iTunes. Make sure that no one is signed in iTunes>Store so your account email address is not on the iPod. The iPod will be erased.
