In iTunes 10.7, some of my podcasts don't transfer to my iPhone.

When I look in iTunes at the podcast list on my phone, the ones that don't transfer have a grey logo beside them (grey circle with two circular white arrows in them.) I don't see any reason why they shouldn't transfer. What's going on?
I can download them from the iTunes app on my phone, but this is an extra hassle when it should just sync, as my other podcasts do (other podcasts I've downloaded since this problem began do sync normally.)

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

HT1923 The sync function on my iPod Touch 3rd generation doesn't work properly. My OS is up to date, but some of my podcasts won't transfer onto the iPod, and it won't delete ones I've already listened to.

The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly. It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

ITunes only shows some faces from Aperture to sync to iPad or iPhone

As said in subject, I am missing several sets, projects, folders etc when I go to iTunes and want to select folders and sets to sync. I also see some sets I have deleted many months ago. Seems whatever Aperture creates for syncing is wrong.
Is there any way of resetting/rebuilding that?

Gerard,
the Aperture previews are stored in the Aperture library package.
To view these,
(DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, unless/until you know what you are doing),
right click on your aperture library file and select show package contents, here is you database, previews, thumbnails, managed masters and more, everything is always available to you, just be careful not to move anything when poking around in here, copying things out is OK.

Podcasts don't transfer right

The podcasts transfer because they are in the artist list but they don't always transfer into the podcast list sometimes they do sometimes they don't its random. I have itunes 5.0.1 and ipod mini 1.4.

I am having the same problem. You can find the podcasts under the podcast "genre", but not directly in the podcast list.
Anyone know the answer?

ITunes can't locate my songs so I can transfer to ipod/iphone...

Hi!
I can see list of songs in my iTunes but it has exclamation mark(!) in every song and can't play them. I can't sync them either to my ipod/iphone due to this.
I think it has something to do with displaced itunes folder, but i don't know how to fix that. Please help.

You can try this, called DFU mode:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to go elsewhere for help.
Good luck.

Some podcasts don't flow into smart folders

I've noticed that every once and awhile I have to do a COMMAND+I/INFO/Genre and relabel all the podcasts in itunes to be "podcasts". A few years back itunes never required that. For some reasons all podcasts don't automatically flow into the smart folder when podcast is picked as a genre -- so the only thing I can assume is that genre is not reliable anymore as a way to make podcasts flow into a smart folder, especially if the publisher doesn't describe it that way, and instead calls it "business podcast."

I have solved the problem! I wanted to document the solution here in case anyone else encounters the same problem. The key is to select all of the podcasts and click "Get Info" (this allows you to change IDL tags for the entire group all at once) and then type in a name for the album. Once the set of podcasts has an album name associated with them, they show up in the "podcast" section on my iPod Touch.

My video podcast don't always go in the right group.

This problem is a bit difficult to explain but here goes.
When I download multiple dates from a single video podcast, such as Rocketboom, they normally appear as a group in the video section of the iPod menu. However, some of the podcasts don't always go into the group they belong in. For example, if I download 2 Rocketboom podcasts, occasionally they will appear in the top level listing of videos as 2 separate videos as opposed to a Rocketboom group with 2 episodes.
Anyone else getting this? Is there any way of fixing this?

I've had the same issue:

Have you had any luck getting it resolved?

I noticed that some of my podcast are missing from the iTunes store. What is the cause of that?

That suggests that the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

What are some good free podcasts/audiobooks?

Does anyone know where to get some good free podcasts/audiobooks?

99% of podcasts are free and available through iTunes. There are podcast available for just about any topic under the sun. Do a web search for anything that interests you adding podcast to the search terms and I'm sure you'll find something that interests you.
A lot of public radio broadcasters such as CBC, NPR and PRI have their shows available as podcasts. I like This American Life, Not Necessarily The Opra (not music) and Radiolab to name a few. For Tech related shows you can't beat anything by Leo Laporte on his TWIT network or the offerings at CNet.
If you can't find your favorite show in iTunes Store you can still subscribe to it using the option in iTunes Advance menu.
For Audiobooks, not free, but you can't beat a subscription to Audible.com.

Some podcasts don't allow pause. Why?

On some of the podcasts (appears to be the ones that don't give duration), the listener cannot pause while listening. Why is this? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I can't say I've noticed the "will not pause" issue, but I have noticed the ones that don't give a time in the iTunes Store. I suggest you contact the Podcast's producers and tell them of the issue you have. It's their Podcast, they create it, control it and fill in all the boxes and so on that are needed. However, they may not realise there is a problem for the listener.
What Podcast programmes are you having an problem with? Maybe I have episodes I can test.

ITunes 11.3.1 deletes played podcasts without authorization

iTunes (11.3.1) keeps deleting episodes of podcasts when I auto-sync podcasts on my computer with my iPod (Classic 160 GB.). However, this only happens with some podcasts. This is in spite of the fact that I've checked all available boxes in the standard settings, and the particular settings for each specific podcast, as "Do not delete any played episodes."
Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I'd really appreciate it. Some of the podcasts no longer exist, so if they disappear from my computer or iPod they're just gone forever.

I have the exact same problem - it started with one of the recent upgrades. It was the one that had the save episode "feature".
It is especially annoying when you are on satellite internet - I have limited bandwidth and this newer version of iTunes I am seeing some of the episodes that I d/l being deleted before I even listen to them.
iTunes (Podcast module) used to work just fine until they started monkeying around with it. Very annoyed right now.

In iTunes 10.7, some of my podcasts don't transfer to my iPhone.
