ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
What's going on? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
Hope this helps.

  • I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, how do I create a podcast playlist?

    Hi,
    I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, I would like my ipod to play all unplayed podcasts continously. For instance, once I have played all of the Nerdist podcasts, it automatically starts playing all unplayed Radio Lab podcasts I have loaded.
    How do I set this? Can I create a podcast playlist?
    Thank you for your help!

  • Itunes will not recognize my ipod. How do i fix this?

    Itunes will not recognize my ipod. How do I fix this?

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    Skipping songs
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

    Call Apple Care.   You are still under warranty.  You also have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your iPod with no questions asked. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. 

  • 6th gen ipod nano not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). tried everything to fix, but still not working... please help

    I have a 6th gen ipod nano that is not recognized by itunes on my PC (Windows 7). I get an error that it 'could not be identified properly'. I have tried all tips on the apple site to correct the problem, including unistalling and reinstalling itunes twice. Nothing works. Has anyone tried something that worked that is not part of the Apple support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218)? Thank you in advance for any help!

    I have spent 3 days messing with my pc and have made no real progress.
    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong passwords I restored my iPhone and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

    It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
    There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
    Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
    The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

    Temporarily dip ****.
    And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
    If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.
