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.

How do you erase old podcast in the mode list ?

Thanks.
Well I used the "List" view on the right and I was able to delete podcasts from there.
I guess I'll have to get used to another view...
I also lost all my old poscats archived though. Not sure if it is because of wonderful 11.1 iTunes or because I bought a new computer. They're all lost. But that's a different problem.
Since you seem so ressourceful, maybe you can help on another problem that I don't seem to be the only one having ? Have a look at the discussion titled "

ITunes: How can I sync my podcasts between Macs and iDevices?

Hi,
Using iTunes for a decade now, I still having the same problem that I don't know how to solve:
How can I sync my podcasts subscriptions and play states between Macs and iDevices?
I am having two MPBs and one iMac, as well as an iPhone and iPad (yes, making someone rich in California), all of them are linked to the same iTunes/Apple account, they are not in the same Wifi.
What I would like to have that all these iTunes (plural) have the same Podcasts with the same played/unplayed states...
Is there any way to do that now, possible with iCloud? I am completely confused now that they have introduced podcast.app for iDevices...
Thank you for any idea for good solution!

From what I can tell, the Podcast app should do for your iOS devices what you're describing--as long as they all use the same Apple ID. Here's an article with some helpful information about the app:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5295
To keep your subscriptions in sync across all devices, the article says this:
"To subscribe to a podcast on your device, tap the Subscribe button from the podcast provider's page from the Podcast catalog. Enable subscription syncing to keep your subscription up-to-date across your iOS devices. On your iOS device tap Settings > Podcasts > Sync Subscriptions > ON.
To sync playback position, the article says this:
"Playback Sync automatically allows you to sync your playback position to all of your iOS devices with the Podcasts app installed, using your Apple ID. In order for Playback Sync to sync your playback position, you must be signed in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID on your iOS devices."
As for keeping playback position on your iOS devices in sync with iTunes on your Macs, you'll need iTunes 11 on all your Macs. So if you're still using iTunes 10 or earlier, you'll need to run a software update to get the latest version. Incidentally, I came across this discussion, which offers some helpful setup/troubleshooting tips about using this new podcast playback syncing feature:

Hope this is helpful!

Have you updated iTunes on the computer? If you updated your iPod! but not iTunes, you will have communication errors.
Have you backed up and updated your iPod? You should back up regularly. Update to keep your device working well with current iTunes.
Once you have iTunes working well on the computer and have a backup saved (find your back up time and date on your iPod in settings, or on the computer under the iTunes pull-down menu, under "Preferences", choose the Devices tab and look in the box for your backup.
Next option...
Restore your iPod from backup

How do I delete old podcasts and sync new podcasts without getting duplicates

I have an iPod Nano. I've enjoyed downloading podcasts and listening to them while walking my dog. I want to delete the podcasts I've already listened to and download only those I haven't heard. If I delete old podcasts, will iTunes be able to identify and download only podcasts I haven't listened to?

You don't have to use the Podcasts app. If you delete it and sync to iTunes on your computer via USB the podcasts will appear back in the Music app. You can delete them there.

How do I hide old podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and What's Up with the New Podcast Pane?

FIrst of all, I'm having fits with this "new" way of managing podcasts.
For years, I have managed the podcasts on my iPod (and now my iPhone 5) by manually syncing the device with my subscribed podcasts in iTunes. I have iTunes set to download the most recent episode of each of my podcasts and to keep all episodes until I delete them. Some podcasts I listen to or view only my MacBook Pro and I don't sync these to my iPhone. This has worked fine for years.
I moved to Apple's dedicated Podcasting app when I purchased my iPhone 5 earlier this year, but I maintained the manual syncing as I had done, using the app only to play the podcasts, not to subscribe to or download them.
I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 7 on launch day and downloaded iTunes 11.1 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. The iOS upgrades went flawlessly for both of my devices, but iTunes has been a problem. It was sluggish when I first opened it, with lots of spinning beach balls. When I opened it for the first time, I went to the Podcast section and to my list of podcasts. They all now had "Subscribe" buttons by each of them (I was already subscribed to the podcasts in iTunes before the update). I assumed that I had to click the buttons to activate subscriptions in iTunes, but low and behold I discovered that it subscribed my iPhone 5's podcast app to ALL of the podcasts in my list (even ones that I don't put on the iPhone). It also started DOWNLOADING all of the episodes of these podcasts to my iPhone which, had I let it continue, would have eaten all of my bandwidth on Verizon for the month (and then some), plus the iPhone would have been filled up long before it could finish downloading the episodes.
I managed to get the iPhone's Podcast app to stop downloading these episodes, then I manually deleted all of the podcasts that didn't belong on the iPhone. I then had to go through all of the podcasts in the app and click a yellow box that said they hadn't been updated and wouldn't resum updating until I clicked the box.
Then I went back to iTunes 11.1, where I discovered that ALL the podcast episodes for my subscriptions that are still available for download in their feeds were now listed (2,000+ episodes), with previously listened-to episodes now showing with a cloud download icon next to them. Even more frustrating, I can't delete these from iTunes even though I've already listened to them and, even more frustratingly, the "Subscribe" button remains by each podcast in the list.
All I want to do is remove these previously-listened to podcasts from my lists, remove the subscribe buttons (since I'm already subscribed in iTunes), and continue to manually sync my iPhone's podcasts with iTunes as before. What do I have to do to make this happen? And if these are new "features" of the new iTunes, please share with your team that, while there are many who update wirelessly over their cell carrier's bandwidth, others of us don't have the capability (or desire) to do things this way and we want to switch this off and return to the "old" way of doing things.
Any ideas on how to fix iTunes 11.1 to return to the old way of doing things would be greatly appreciated!

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.

Ipod failing to sync old podcasts that aren't there

I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro.
First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
However it is NOT an iPod problem. The same iPod will sync fine with iTunes on a windows PC and a Shuffle suffers the same problem with this MacBook Pro.
TIA

What do you mean by old files? If I am cleaning up a variety of unwanted items I usually put them all into a folder and delete the folder. Are you talking about Time Machine records? If so, be very careful how you delete them.

ITunes trying to sync old podcasts (and failing!)

I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and it failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro. Same problems happen with new shuffle so would seem to be an iTunes problem.
First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
Is there a corrupt file that tells iTunes to look for old podcasts to sync with?
It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.

Welcome to the Palm Support Community Emily, but I'm at a loss as to what you are asking...
What exactly is "the new operating system"? Windows 7? If so, what bit depth is it? 32bit or 64bit?
What is "that file" you're referring to that you think is a .dll? Your Contacts and Calendar data?
What is "Outlook 7"? Microsoft Outlook 2007?
If indeed you've just obtained Windows 7, and it's the 64bit version, there is a way to sync the TX via a wireless method - either BlueTooth or Wifi.
Please read the thread I wrote on "How to sync the TX and Vista64" at the top of this section. It's very similar to Windows 7.
