ITunes 11.4 podcast problem

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.4 my podcasts are not refreshing. They were all subscribed to prior to the upgrade, but now all show the option "Subscribe" - however, clicking "Subscribe" does nothing. No response at all. Neither does "Refresh Podcast" when I know the podcast has new episodes. It only seems to function correctly when I delete, then re-subscribe to the Podcast via the iTunes store.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in the works? Are there steps I might take to correct this?

I have no answers for ya, but I do have the same problem, so we are not alone in this.
My iTunes stopped working after I did a couple of software updates that got my iTunes up to v. 11.4. Since that update, I can't get iTunes to open at all, neither from my dock nor from the Applications menu.
I'm wondering: Perhaps these latest iTunes updates are simply too advanced for my 10.6.8 operating system? If that's the case, how can I backtrack to an earlier version of iTunes that is compatible with my computer OS?
Any thoughts?

I have problem with Itunes losing where podcasts and some purchased music is located. Don't know how Itunes losing the locations of the files and I can't find the files on my hard drive. What can I do to stop Itunes losing location and restore my files?

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

"iTunes has encountered a problem" after updating Podcasts

I've been running iTunes happily since December 2009 on my Windows XP machine. I've allowed each update to be applied and have never had a problem with it.
Suddenly today, I started getting an "iTunes has encountered a problem an needs to close" error about 30 seconds or so after iTunes loads. This happened repeatedly.
One of the suggestions on forums was to re-install QuickTime - I did this and it made no difference. I then fought with uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all other Apple apps for several hours. I worked through the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" problem, I managed to locate and use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (even though Microsoft have removed it), I re-installed the software and even managed to fix the "Apple Application Support Was Not Found" problem once iTunes was installed.
I finally managed to get iTunes up and running again and to my amazement it even recognised by iTunes library...and then got the "iTunes has encountered a problem" error that I started with ?
I've now watched iTunes more carefully to see exactly what's happening. What I can see is that it is trying to update my podcasts. It is simulatenously downloading three as usual and all goes fine until it's downloaded and processed one. After it's finishing processing the first one, the downloads stop and the original error is given. If I re-start it, the same thing happens (albeit with a different podcast).
I'm completely stuck now. Where do I go from here to sort this one out ? All help very gratefully received.

Apple Application Support program file ... unlikely to be damaged, because after the uninstall/reinstall torment you went through, that's a brand new copy of the file you've got in there.
Can you check something further for me please? (This isn't going to be a cure in itself, but fingers crossed it'll rule out some possibilities and narrow in on some other possible causes.)
Create a new Windows user account on the PC with full administrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new one. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Open iTunes in the new account. The setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted, just let it eventually open to an empty library.
Now try downloading one of the podcasts that caused the crash into the new account's library. Do we get another "iTunes has encountered a problem" in there too? Or does it download without issue in there?

Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
- Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
- Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
- Only podcasts are affected.
- This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
- The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
As I said, this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
Need Help!!!

"itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" - while importing

While importing a CD i get an error message halfway through and the burning stops. The windows message is: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close".
I have tried to repair:
1. remove Quicktime and repair itunes.
2. updated windows, itunes, quicktime, updater.
3. updated my dvd/cd driver.
4. deleted all forms of itunes and quicktime and reinstalled.
5. deselcted "use error correction" under preferences, advanced, importing.
It is not the burner as Windows Media imports the cd just fine.
Please help. It drives me crazy. ty.

hi Jonathan!
This is only a temp solution...
there are a couple of ways of making this change semi-permanent (if the fix works for you). you would need to download and install a utility that starts up itunes with a single processor affinity set.
Otto discusses two in this thread (Runfirst, in the first post in the thread, and imagecfg in one of the last posts in the thread):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=826742&ft=y&#826742
(although Otto is talking about a podcast crash in that thread, the same underlying cause of that crash also causes the importing crash.)

How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast?

How do you determine the picture that is shown on iTunes for your podcast? Is that done in iWeb or Garagetunes?

That is a supported format,
Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min,
see if the problem is fixed,
If not we may have to reload the device OS to get back the missing option.
Thanks,
If you need more info please ask! If not please resolve the thread using the options by the Kudos’ star, Just place the check in the Post that answered your question, Thanks

Right after upgrade: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

We just allowed the iTunes update, then when we went to start iTunes we keep getting this message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I've tried to follow some of the help documents (deleted SCinfo.sidb from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776), deleted a local docuemnts temp directory, made sure QuickTime does work on it's own.
My setup had iTunes on the C drive originally but over a year or two ago now I moved that to an external drive, that is still attached. I'm leary to uninstall and reinstall as I don't know if I'll loose any movies/music/audiobooks/podcasts/apps I have in there (my new iTunes folder was named F:/New-iTunes and has worked without issue since day 1 until this update this week.)
I need to get our iPod(s) up to date with media before we go out of town later this weekend. Help please.

In order to see the error repeated, I had to reenable Bonjour. First I just manually started the service, then iTunes and no issue. iTunes worked. Then I set the service to manually start, rebooted, started Bonjour then iTunes. iTunes worked again. Finally, set Bonjour to Automatic, rebooted then tried to start iTunes and ERROR.
iTunes won't start if Bonjour set to Automatic.
The error listed in the message box is:

Do we even NEED Bonjour? I've set it the Bonjour service to disabled in the time being. Your comments are welcome.

Annoying podcast problem help plz

hi guys,
first if this is in the wrong place, i apologise, as you can see a new user.
anyway, heres my problem,
i just got hold of an ipod mini, and i use my itunes extensively for podcast listening,and i have a problem regarding when it comes to syncing them with my ipod.
basically i would like my ipod to put any podcast that is listed as new in itunes on my ipod when i connect it.
and yes it does that fine.
but what problem i have is, when i come to syncing again, it will get the new ones ok, but it will remove all the ones previously put on there, and its annoying, as there are some i have not listened to yet.
is there a setting were i can get my ipod/itunes to put all new podcasts on automatically, but leave them on until i decide to remove them.
i have tried all the settings in the ipod/podcast settings, but none do that.
so any help guys appreciated.
is there a way to get my new podcasts on my ipod, but leave the others on.(and then what would be the easiest way to remove them when i do want them off??)

You should try to restore the iPhone using iTunes make sure you back up, see if it helps.
iPhones won't show as removable device if you are referring to be able to copy/transfer files similar to a usb flash drive. It is restricted based on Apple's specification altho it should appear as "Digital Camera Device" having access to your captured photo's or "camera roll" you should unlock your iPhone first before connecting to PC or Mac if you do have a password.
As of saving issues, try to restore the firmware by itunes or resetting through iPhone settings as reset or restore.
It should fix and work as normal, if it doesnt you can always go back from where you purchased it but it will. Goodluck.

Playing video podcast problem

Hello-
I am trying to play video podcasts on my itunes. So far no success. The video starts but is nothing but scrambled colors (mostly purple). audio is fine. Anyone can help?

I just started having this problem on Friday afternoon, with no changes to my system information. Most of the video podcasts just show their album cover (if available) while playing the audio without video.
I also have a similar problem that could be unrelated, but might give some insight into the cause of this problem.
Before this I've noticed that as podcasts finalized download in the queue the video and audio in the pocast I was listening to or watching would stop, for as much as 10 seconds, while iTunes processed the podcast and brought it into the Podcast window. Once it was there and nothing was being downloaded everything was fine.

Trying to sync itunes U and podcasts to ipad 1.

When syncing, only some of the iTunes U and podcasts synch to my iPad. I cannot figure out why some move to the iPad and some do not. Does anyone have any ideas?

Stumbled onto information from another forum. MAYBE this is the problem, but what are solution options? What I did confirm is that ALL of the podcasts and iUniversity files that will not sync are MPEG 4 files. Let me know your thoughts.
Taken from another conversation to someone having a similar issue:
I just downloaded a full HD podcast video from iTunes to my iPad and desktop computer. Both of these videos play just fine. When I synced the iPad to my desktop computer iTunes would not transfer the video to the iPad. The video is 1920x1080, this outside the guideline for iTunes to transfer the video to the iPad.
The iPad is capable of playing a 1080p videos. When i need to send a 1080p to my ipad I use the GoodReader app to do so. It is iTunes (on the desktop) that is placing these restrictions on the videos that can be transfer to the iPad.
If you want to you can voice your opinion to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
*H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Podcast Problem 4G Ipod (Desperate)

I know the Ricky Gervais podcast problem has been raised and that updating my firmware may help.
But how do you update when your ipod is in a coma?
Mine does not show in itunes, does not show charging when the charger is plugged in and doesn't respond to reset.
Anybody have any solutions?
Pentium 4 Windows XP

Managed to start it eventually after an hour on mains charge (no battery icon showing) with a "menu and select" reset.
Hope this is useful for someone!

ITunes opens iTunes U and Podcasts on my iPhone 4S

When I launch iTunes from my iphone, it gives me an option to download iTunes U and Podcasts. Why doesnt it open iTunes Store? My app stpte works fine. What's the problem? Why doesnt it open iTunes Store so i can normally download music, videos and such?

Hello neznam1337,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps outlined in sections 1, 3, and 5 of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to section 3 I would close all the apps. Here is section 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Take care,
Sterling
