IPad 2 Podcasts show in iTunes, but not playable in iPad

Podcasts update regularly in iTunes, like they should. I plug in the iPad to the computer, it syncs, like it should. In iTunes I can see the podcasts on my iPad. Go to the iPad (music->podcasts) and there are icons for each podcast, but they won't play. One icon doesn't even have a title. I've considered hitting the screen harder, but figured that was just the rage talking and not a good idea.
I've tried deleting them from the iPad so I could resync, which presented a new set of problems. When deleting them from the iPad from the iPad (push on the icone till the black X appears, then delete it), the podcast persists on iTunes. When deleting the podcast from the iPad from iTunes, they persist on the iPad. I have tried resyncing multiple times.
This has worked in the past. Just recently have the podcasts become unuseable.

No, I have not downloaded the podcast app. Till this point I didn't see any reason to get another special purpose app when the iPad, supposedly, comes prepared to do what I want it to do. At the bottom of the iPad screen are 4 icons, Safari, Mail, Photos, and Music. In music at the bottom is the More tab where podcasts are found.
Are podcasts no longer compatible with iPads? Do I need a special app to play them?

I'm having issues with my TV programmes artwork. It shows in iTunes but not on the Videos app.

I'm having issues with my TV programmes artwork. The artwork shows in iTunes but not on the Videos app. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/GPKwx
The latest episode in it is 23 July: the later episodes haven't made it into the feed so either the connection to Feedburner has failed or there is something about the recent episodes which is causing them not to make it into the feed. It's not obvious from looking at the web page what this might be.

Album art is showing in itunes but not on my ipod

I have a new 60GB ipod video and am having a problem with album artwork. It shows in all the right windows in itunes but not on the ipod itself.
The problem is affecting random songs (singles and odd album tracks) and is not as a result of any software updates.
I have tried unchecking and rechecking the 'display album art' option in preferences, deleting and reinserting the covers and even deleting and reimporting the affected songs from scratch. So far nothing has worked and I don't know what else to do!
Any suggestions?
Apple iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) ipod 60GB with video

Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

Windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad, windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad

Help! After resetting my ipad, Windows 7 or Itunes does not recognize it. I have read and followed all assistance or how to's that I came across on line but nothing works.

Check in this order-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

My books are showing in my itunes but not on my ipad even with syncing! Help please?

I have about 400 books on my itunes account, they were on my ipad but now they are not! They show that they are taking up memory on my ipad on itunes but they are not there. I've synced numerous times but to no avail. Any suggestions??

First, just to rule it out, make sure you have the same color settings. The really important thing is to have Color Management Policies set to "preserve embedded profiles". With this setting, the embedded document profile (whatever it is) will be correctly handled and displayed on both systems.
But I'm more inclined to think you have a broken display profile on your work machine, especially if only Photoshop seems affected. Photoshop is likely the only application that actually uses the display profile.
All this assuming you don't have a wide gamut monitor, which changes the playing field a bit.
Anyway. To test the display profile, set sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 as display profile in Control Panel > Color Manangement > Devices (Adobe RGB if wide gamut monitor). Relaunch Photoshop so that it can pick up the new profile at startup.
Do this on both machines. If they now display more or less the same, that's definitive confirmation. The real fix is to make a new profile with a calibrator, but if you don't have one, just use sRGB until you do.

When you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
"display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

IPad won't sync: iTunes could not backup the iPad because a session-

I can no longer sync an iPad with iTunes. Each time I try, I get the following error dialog from iTunes:
iTunes could not back up the iPad "Name of iPad" because a session could not be started with the iPad.
I'm using iTunes 10.1 (54) on Mac OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574, iPad WiFi + 3G running iOS 4.2.1 (8C148). iPad sync settings: Manually manage music and videos, address book/iCal/email/bookmarks all done via MobileMe, Sync Apps yes, Sync Music no, Sync Movies no, Sync TV Shows no, Sync Podcasts no, Sync iTunes U no, Sync Books no, Sync photos from iPhoto no.
I'm looking for a fix that will respect the app sync settings and not force all the unchecked apps from my computer back to the iPad. Suggestions appreciated!

So typically I don't reply, or post comments on forums but seeing as how the 4.3 update has screwed up syncing with the iPad, I thought i'd share what I just went through for the last 4.5 hrs!!!
So finally did the update on 5/24/11...everything was great, until I tried to add movies to my iPad... had the same error about not backing up the iPad beacause a session...so I went and deleted the photo cache....did nothing.
Then I found another post stating to try and "close" any apps running in the background (double clicking on the home button and pressing the minus) that apparently worked for some....NOT ME
SO THEN, I saw another post about turning the iPad off and the back on...guess what happened when I did that?!?!?! Ohh it got STUCK in the little thinking mode..you know after you swipe to power off...the little circle icon...stayed like that for 30 min...so I found another post saying that I needed to restore my iPad...umm lil prob COULDN'T CONNECT W IT LIKE THAT!!! So then i decided to hard reboot it (hold down the home button and the lock button on top) that at least stopped the thinking thing and brought my iPad back up
So I tried to sync again...NOW i was getting the error message of this iPad is already synced to another iTunes library...only given option of cancel or erase and sync?!?!? ***?? NO IT ISN'T LAST BACK UP WAS LAST WEEK AFTER I DID THE STUPID 4.3 UPDATE!!!!
FINALLY-I unchecked syncing movies...and synced my iPad...finally worked with no errors....double checked the backupdate(edit>iTunes preferences>devices and had today!!! So i thought well whatever it was backed up today if it erases and syncs all the info will be the same...will prob take an hour to re-sync all my apps, music, and movies...but at least it will be done.
AND VIOLA!!! IT WORKED...AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT DID ERASE BC WATCHING THE STATUS BAR IN ITUNES IT ONLY SHOWED THAT IT ADDED MY MOVIES!!!
I really hope this posts helps some people!!! AND APPLE IF YOU SEE THIS....FIX THE 4.3 UPDATE FOR THE IPAD!!!!!!!!!

Connected a different ipad to computer now itunes does not see original ipad

I syned my Ipad 1 to my girlfriends pc and opened itunes. Now when she connects her ipad 2 to her pc it only sees my ipad and not hers, how come

If you synced, i tunes may be thinking you are still there. Open up i tunes, and sign out, then have her sign in with her apple account.
Syncing two different accounts on the same computer can be tricky.
Naah. Each one should snap right in and it doesn't matter what account is identified. At least that's the way that they work with a Mac. I do not understand Windoze machines.

My ipad shows in itunes but not at all in my computer or device mgr

no sign of it on the pc (xp home) but recognized in itunes not charging message as well from usb2

It does not have disk mode so that is why it is not showing up in your computer.
Unless you have a very recent computer you do not have high power USB ports. If you connect it to your computer it will charge, albeit very slowly, if you turn the iPad off or put it to sleep and don't wake it.
Far better idea to use the iPad charger.

Podcast accepted by iTunes, but not showing on search results after days

I submitted a podcast to iTunes about a week ago and on the 20th I received an e-mail to say that it had been accepted onto iTunes.
Several days later, however, and it still won't show up on search results. When I search for the title of the podcast, 'At The End of The Day', it doesn't show up. However, when I search for the author, 'Leigh, Mark and Toby', it DOES show up! Obviously, I want people to be able to find the podcast through its title... can anybody please help me? Thank you!

Turned up fine for me, though it's not at the top of the page; you have to scroll down to the Podcasts section and it's the first item there.

Apps show in itunes, but not on iPad (iOS5 Update)

I updated to io5 last night on my iPad 1. I have iTunes installed on a Win7 laptop. I ran backup from iTunes which is good, because the update did not include my apps. I ran "Restore from backup" from iTunes and it ran for a long time, and resulted in the last setup screens (location, iCloud, daily diagnostics), but still no apps on the iPad. I can see them in the iTunes, though. How do I get the apps from iTunes into the iPad?
Thanks,
Scott

Forgot to mention - when looking at the "get info" section, none of the video codec information seems to be ported over. It appears as though the iPad cannot read the codec information.
I have validated all codecs are fine - even iTunes has told me that the videos are already in the proper format. It's just the iPad which seems that it cannot read the codec/info.

TV Shows from iTunes Store not syncing to iPad

Hi Guys,
I am having problems syncing my TV Shows from my iTunes.
The issue arrose when I purchased a TV Show series on my iPad on the iTunes Store. I downloaded the new show directly to the iPad over wireless but what happened was the new episodes replaced all my other TV shows except two. ie I had mulitple copies of the same TV series where my other shows use to be. I tried syncing it to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro but it didn't fix it. Then I decided to wipe the iPad and set it up as a new one. When I did that the same thing happened again. My iTunes seems all normal.
Any ideas?

ok, so i figured this out... when i connect my ipod and go to the "tv shows tab" i had the option to sync only the "unwatched episodes" checked. so the shows that i watched on my computer would not download to my iPod. If you select "all" instead of "unwatched" then all of the tv shows regardless if you have watched them or not, will begin to download... Thanks for the help everybody

Movie Showing in iTunes but not DMA App

In the past, when a Disney movie downloads from iTunes, it automatically shows up in my DisneyAnywhere app as well as adds the points to my DMR (Disney Movie Rewards) immediately without me having to do anything.
Yesterday, I downloaded the new Big Hero 6 movie from iTunes and can view it on my computer within iTunes along with the other movies I've purchased. However, it did not show up in my DisneyAnywhere app (and still isn't). Today, I looked again to see if it had corrected itself overnight and its still the same, however, when I click on Purchased in my iTunes account Big Hero 6 is nowhere to be found. But it's in my Movies and I can watch it. I also have noticed that when I go to BH6 in the iTunes Store that it tells me I still have to buy it but when I do that, it tells me that I've already bought it.
Can someone please tell me what in the world is going on? Or maybe make some suggestions (that aren't the basics like powering down, signing in and out, etc) that I can try?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hello megoettee,
With what you are describing, you best bet is to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below to walk you through with doing that. If you cannot report it then let me know and I can give another suggestion.

Some TV shows in iTunes but not Apple TV menu

I noticed that some shows (in this case, 30 Rock) do not show up in any of the Apple TV menus - even with a straight search. The shows are, however, available in iTunes on my Mac. Is there any way to purchase and manage these shows from the TV, or do I need to download them to my laptop and stream them to the Apple TV?

I've had my apple tv for over a year now, so I'm assuming it's first generation. I've not had problems with it until recently. There are some shows that show up in itunes on my mac, but are not showing up on my apple tv. I've tried resetting my apple tv to factory settings and starting all over, downloading a newer version of itunes...and nothing seems to help.
What am I doing wrong?
