Inconsistent sorting of "A/An" & "The" for podcasts/iTunes U

I love my apple TV version 1 and 2 but something really bothers me about Apple TV 2. It disregards "A" and "The" for songs, audibooks, & movie titles but NOT when alphabetizing podcasts & iTunes U.
This is inconsistent and confusing because items are listed differently than in iTunes and on the iPad. As a literature professor, I like classifying audio poetry collections as "Podcast" and also transferring my DVD educational content (Teaching Company audio and videos) as "iTunes U" but I find the irregular and capricious alphabetizing off-putting and disconcerting. I hope there is a fix provided in a future update or at least a settings option.
I will definitely be getting the new apple TV if/when it is released, and I hope this is resolved or addressed... Pretty Please!

I have the same issue. Need Help, too!

How can you sort without adding all the music to iTunes?

I'm an older person and I don't get it. At first I just had a shuffle and I downloaded specific songs into iTunes that I liked. Then I upgraded. I loaded a whole bunch of cd's into various libraries at various times on an external hard drive. Now, I have a ton of music and would love an easy way to organize it! There are lots of duplicates and lots of songs I just don't like. The trouble is, I haven't figured out how to just see a list of all the songs and sort and delete from the list. I have to open a library and then I get a bunch of file folders of an album or two. Then I have to open the album to see the songs. If I forget what the song sounds like and I click on it to play it, the album goes automatically into iTunes. I don't have enough room on my pc for all that music to go right into iTunes. Do you get my question?? Can you help me?

When you play a song with iTunes, it automatically gets added to the library, as you noticed.
If you just want to play the song so you can decide whether to keep or delete it, use another player. You may already have Windows Media Player on your machine. If not you can download Winamp.
When you are done sorting, add the ones you want into your iTunes library

How can I sort the my podcasts in alphabetical order?

After the update to iTunes 11.1 my podcasts are all in chaotic order. I can't find anything anymore.
Even podcasts with nearly the same name are not in the same place.
Example: Windows Weekly (hi) isn't followed by Windows Weekly (mp3)
Where or how can I change the sort order ?

Although the original post is a few weeks old, I suspect that many people are still having the same issue.
I'm using the List view (the old view), which presents the Podcasts in the Programme-name alphabetical order:

Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space. One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029?mt=8

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

I am having a challenge getting an uploaded Podcast to appear on iTunes inventory list although it is present once I click on a left hand column for Podcasts (the extra step may make it too elusive for listeners to find.)

Each week, a Radio Program is uploaded from my website to iTunes for access to our community. The December 17, 2012 episode and January 7, 2013 episodes, although they've been uploaded, will not appear on the Inventory on iTunes. When I look to the left of the running list of Inventory, which appears in alphabetical order, the word Podcast appears to the left with a number 1 next to it - as if there's a message waiting. When I click
there and open, the December 17 episode is listed.
Is there a way for the Podcast to join the other episode titles in chronological order? There will be another new one from this morning to join the list.
(I have not heard back from Express Apple, have tried iTunes Support, Blog Talk Support, etc.)
Thanks for any insights or tips....

Can I change the default for podcast deletion after listening?

I have only just discovered that many of my cherished podcasts have been getting deleted after I listen to them. I originally set the option to NEVER delete after listening when I first installed iTunes years ago and I haven't change it since. However, I can only assume that it was changed by Apple during an upgrade at some point and I never noticed. The delete after listening option has been set to On for podcasts going back many years (2008 at least).
Two questions:
1. Is there some way to change the default setting to Off?
2. Is there a way to bulk change the setting for multiple existing podcasts?
Thanks.
For what it;'s worth; I'm running iTunes 12.1.2.27 on Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell Latitude laptop.

Choose the Podcast view you are using (either Podcasts/Podcasts or Podcasts/Episode List) from below:
or
and select Delete Played Episodes <Off> from the drop-down menu

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

Replacing the generic icon for podcasts?

Hi -
Usually iWeb displays the generic podcast icon in for the preview picture. Once in a while iWeb displays a nice image seemingly grabbed from a podcast I've posted. But that's rare.
How do I set which icon I would like to have displayed?
Many thanks for your help.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'm wondering if I have not expressed this question well enough for an advanced user to answer it quickly or whether there is no answer and the preview podcast icon in iWeb is simply a random mystery.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

HT1689 How do I automatically free up storage for podcasts that I have listened to with the new podcast app?

Is there a way to configure the podcasts app to automatically discard the download file one you have listened to it?
I know I can manually delete the entire podcast episode entry, but I'd rather just discard the download file .

Thanks for getting back to me!
It is connected over wireless. I don't have an RJ45 connection on the MacBook Air (although will purchase an adapter if needed). Even if I do have an RJ45 connection does this mean I can only ever use wired to view my external photo library?
I suppose having the wired connection will give me the time to organise my photos and delete some of the rubbish (which I would have liked to do on my old MacBook first but it was running too slow, especially with such a big photo library - so I treated myself to a new MacBook Air so I did!).
And I guess I could then put my favourite photos on the MacBook Air and have a separate library of older/lesser used photos on the Time Capsule and just access those as and when over RJ45 network cable. I prefer to use wireless as much as possible as the Time Capsule is normally stored in a room I don't use the MacBook or other wireless devices !

Updated to iTunes 11.1 and many of my podcasts were, as far as I can tell, deleted from my account. 'This American Life' in particular, cannot be redownloaded for free and I want the unlistened podcasts I accrued to come back! Any tips or suggestions?

Updated to iTunes 11.1 and many of my podcasts were, as far as I can tell, deleted from my account. 'This American Life' in particular, cannot be redownloaded for free and I want the unlistened podcasts I accrued to come back! I'm also afraid that if I sync my iPod now, the podcasts that I have on there but have been removed from the computer, will also be removed from the iPod.
Any tips or suggestions?

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.

Itunes 11.1.4 crashing while playing podcast/and it is search for the latest podcast show!

I launch iTune 11.1.4 and then select on of unplayed podcasts. It starts to play it, and in mean time I click the button to check for searching for new shows! It starts the search, but iTunes just quites for no reason! No error messages, only the window to reopen it appears! Sometimes it quits after I start listening a pocast show too! Is anyone having this problem?

I've had this exact problem for about 2 weeks. neither my iphone 4s, ipod touch, or any of my friends iphones and ipods wont even show up in itunes. i click Sync the file column and its greyed out not detecting anything. all apple did was say "reinstall" it. i did about 3 times before calling.... then they said check to see if its all up to date. which everything is. they had nothing else to say.
also since iOS 7 came out my iphone 4s wont connect to wifi. that option is just greyed out. my battery can go from 100% and untouched unplugged and sit on my desk for an hour and itll somehow be at 23% battery. apple gave me a new phone and did the same exact thing. idk what theyre doing over there.
