ITunes 7 and podcasts

I've updated to iTunes 7, and since then my podcasts won't shuffle with my songs. When I create a playlist (or even a smart playlist) of both songs and podcasts, still only the songs play. Any ideas on how I can get my podcasts and my songs to shuffle together?
Thanks!

Marking as answered just to get it out of my "unresolved questions" folder. I did fix it a long time ago by selecting all, getting info, and unchecking "skip when shuffling."

Does subscribing to a podcast on iTunes and Podcasts app result in duplicates on my iPhone

If I subscribe to a podcast on iTunes and also subscribe to it on the Podcasts app then sync my iPhone (with podcast syncing turned on), will it result in two copies of the episodes on my iPhone?

Same here. I just posted a question too.

ITouch iTunes and Podcasts

Does anyone know how to best manually manage podcasts and songs on the iTouch so that one can completely avoid the cloud and auto syncing. I had no problem doing this with the old OS but since the recent upgrades every time I set one preference to not show anything in the cloud, or try to manage songs and podcasts manually, I either then can't delete music, or music on the iTouch does not show up when viewing it in iTunes, or podcasts get repeatedly copied, etc. Is there a really good reference page to do things totally manually?

Do y have the Apple Podcast app?

Problems new itunes and podcast

I install new itunes and when i syncronize mi iphone the podcast dont syncronize, the podcast i have hear on my iphone dont mark as hear on my pc and still like new podcast, sorry my english i speak spanish

There is a procedure for changing the feed URL for a podcast, which it seems you haven't followed: you have to add a special tag to the old feed - just submitting a new feed will have exactly the effect you describe. The proper method is described here:

Advice appreciated

Hello, ik31.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

Problems with Podcasts in iTunes and Podcast App

We're receiving a number of reports from people that our podcasts play for a minute or so and then loop back to the beginning. We're getting the report from multiple users, for different podcast episodes and occurring at different times within each episode.
We've seen it happen once or twice ourselves, but it is very difficult to reproduce. Unfortunately we've received enough complaints that I know this is a real problem that a lot of people are having. They're even leaving negative comments for us in the iTunes store because of it.
Because we've been having trouble reproducing the problem, it's hard to zero in on what's happening. All the complaints I've seen so far seem to be from people using iOS devices and listening through iTunes or the Podcast app.
Is anyone else experiencing these complaints?
The podcast in question is "BackStory with the American History Guys".
Thanks.

You are using Feedpoxy for your media files; your latest episode file has a 301 ('moved permanently) redirect to
http://media.blubrry.com/backstory/backstoryradio.org/files/2012/10/Been-There-D one-That_-Historical-Reenactments.mp3
This then has a 302 redirect to
http://backstoryradio.org/files/2012/10/Been-There-Done-That_-Historical-Reenact ments.mp3
This sort of thing is asking for trouble with podcasts, and may not be helping, however it does play OK in iTunes: the fact that the issue seems confined to iOS devices, and from your description, suggests that it is the dreaded 'byte-range requests' problem. The iPhone plays podcasts by using 'byte-range requests', which means calling for part of the file at a time rather than the whole thing. Unfortunately some servers don't support this, and there were an increasing number of complaints that podcasts which worked elsewhere weren't working on an iPhone.
A Terminal test for this suggests that your server is indeed not accepting byte-range requests: I'm afraid that the only ways out of this are a) ask the people running your server to enable it, or b) find another hosting service and make sure before committing that they can handle this.
To test for this on a Mac, open Terminal and enter curl -I -r 200-300 followed by a space and the full URL of your media file. Success is indicated by lines in the response similar to this:
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 101
Content-Range: bytes 200-300/46077596
This was not in the response to your file.
(Caveat: if you are going to use Terminal, stick to entering exactly what is specified. Don't improvise: you can do a lot of damage very easily. This test is quite safe.)

Weird iTunes and podcast problem

I'm having a weird issue with one of the weekly podcasts I'm subscribed to. It's encoded in 320kbps AAC, when the episode downloads I then convert it to 192 kbps. After the conversion, for whatever reason it puts the episode in my music section instead of podcasts. I do this with other podcasts, and I can always go in and change the media type back to podcast and it shows up back in the correct section. This particular show will not allow me to change the media type without turning off itunes match. After doing so, I change the type, it shows up in podcasts, turn itunes match back on, then a few minutes later it removes my type and puts it back in music?? Any ideas? As I mentioned, I do this with other shows without any problems

how do you set the look and feel ??

Garageband, iTunes, and podcasting

I use a Mac Mini that is about 5 years old. And I record my podcasts on a Garageband 3.0.5. Yes, it's old.
So, I'm trying to figure a problem out. I record my podcasts in Garageband with "Spoken Podcast" in the Preferences. When I'm finished, I save it in Micro-64kps mode. I share with iTunes to convert it to a .m4a file. At that point, it's still 64kps. But, when I convert the file to an mp3, it changes to 128kps. In addition, the file almost doubles in size.
The reason this is an issue is that my podcasts--at about 30mb per episode--take like 3 minutes to download while other podcasts twice as long as mine, sounding just as good, download in half the time. I don't get it. When I check these other podcasts, the difference is that they are .mp3 files but the bit rate is 64kps. While mine is 128kps. I know that has to make a difference.
In addition, in the "Encoded by" section, theirs says Garageband while mine says iTunes. Once again, I don't understand. They're recording in the same program as I am but somehow theirs end up twice as long but download faster.
I was thinking this slowness had something to do with my RSS feed between my website and iTunes but I don't think that's it. I've called GoDaddy and they've not been helpful at all.
The question: what do I need to do within Garageband and iTunes to get a file that is an mp3 but has a 64kps which will allow a 30mb file to download in like 45 seconds like I see so many others do?
Thanks.

If it isn't a song you bought from the iTunes store, drop the song into the GB timeline and it will play when you record on another track.

Syncing Itunes and Podcasts says its not supported by Iphone?

Hi, I just tried syncing my iphone this morning to get my new podcasts on it...and when it was done i got a pop up window saying the the podcasts were not able to sync on to my iphone because they are not supported by my iphone version - thought this was odd when I just synced two days ago and put the previous version of the podcast. I've tried restarting my computer and turning off and on my iphone..still the same message. Is there something I need to do, or upgrade. I usually get the upgrade messages on my computer...haven't seen anything lately....can you help? thanks.

Do you have the latest firmware on your phone? (1.1.3). That came out about a month ago.
If you do have it I'd recommend doing a restore to see if that doesn't solve the problem.

ITunes plays videos and podcasts when I click on music.

Hi all I have a problem.
when i click on music in the left menu. I notice when playign through my music set to randome that i get all media including podcasts, mpe books and other things that i woul dnot expect to be showing. I just want to randomly cycle through my music not listen to the books and podcasts etc.
is there a way to resove this issue.
OS: OSX 10.9.2, Mavericks
Itunes: 11.1.5 (s) 64-bit
Thanks for any ideas, tips, tricks and all you wish to share to help resolve this.
Edit: A good way to fix this would be able to select the type of media so it shows up in the right place. eg when importing or editing the album, file, cd podcast etc be able to select what type of media it is eg music, video, podcast, books and have the catogries show. only in what is selected. I have not come accross this feature.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
You may need a computer app like the free HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod.

How can I connect a PC with iTunes to an ipod and make iTunes play podcasts directly from the ipod without synching with iTunes on the PC ?

I predominently use my ipod to listen to my favourite podcasts. I download podcasts onto my Home PC using iTunes and then synch the podcasts onto my ipod again using iTunes. This all works fine.
Occassionally I want to connect my ipod to my Work PC via iTunes and listen to the podcasts by playing them through my Work PC external speakers. I DO NOT want iTunes to synch with my ipod, I just want to access the podcasts on the ipod and play them directly using the iTunes on my Work PC. I used to be able to do this, but have recently had a new replacement PC provided and now when I attach my ipod to the new PC iTunes wants to synchronize, and I can't see the podcasts which I know are on the ipod.
I'm sure that this is an easy one for you experts out there. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Arnold

Just to be clear - I have a new Work PC. My Home PC and ipod synching is all still working fine - it's just connecting the ipod to my new Work PC - and not being able to see and play the podcasts from the ipod - which is the problem that I am trying to overcome. Thx.

How to change the author and "podcast website," in iTunes store?

Hi,
my itunes store page is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-fallacy-a-day-podcast/id469610386 and my podcast is hosted on a free account at Podomatic.
It seems that the information on that page is drawn from the data on my Podomatic feed, including the "iTunes" page in my Podomatic account. All I ever did on iTunes is to go into the store section of iTunes and submit the rss URL.
I've read the FAQ but can't see how to change these features of my iTunes store page:
1. On my itunes store page the title is: "The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast By The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast" but I would rather it be "The Fallacy-a-Day Podcast by fallacaday.com"
2. Also on that page, under "Links" on the right, if you click Podcast website it takes you to fallacyaday.podomatic.com but I would prefer that iTunes store visitors are directed to my podcast's home page at fallacyaday.com.
As it stands, my homepage is being completely bypassed by some downloaders (although I do mention it in the podcast episodes themselves) and I have no metric on how many people are downloading the podcast. My Google Analytics indicate a constant number of visitors each day while the Podomatic bandwidth usage is increasing. I have no idea of what proportion of downloaders are doing so on Podomatic vs iTunes. Podomatic's own statistics (for the free account) are almost totally useless because they oscillate wildly from one day to the next.
Thanks to anyone who can offer help on these two questions!

Everything in the iTunes Store about your podcast is carried in the feed: the title is in the 'title' tag and the link in the 'link' tag. Although I'm not familiar with Podomatic my understanding is that you don't have access to the feed yourself, but have to set the details within Podomatic.
It should be easy enough to change the title by changing it wherever you originally set it. As to the link, I've seen others complaining that it directs to the podomatic site and can't be changed. Obviously they want to attract attention to their own service. I imagine this can't be changed but it's something you would need to take up with Podomatic.
Even if you had the correct link most visitors probably won't bother with it. If they are interested they will subscribe to your podcast in iTunes and listen to the episodes there - there's no reason to go to the site. iTunes does not provide usage statistics, and visits to your website aren't really relevant.
I'm afraid that the problem with all these online services is that they are what they are - they make it easy to get a podcast up and running but the facilities they provide may not always be exactly want you want and can't be changed.

This helped, I restored them, but when I go to iTunes they are not there. Is there another step?

ITunes will not transfer songs and podcasts to iPod

Whenever I try to synch, or manually transfer a song/podcast, I get an error message saying that the is "not enough room". But when I open the device through iTunes, it shows that there are only two songs on it. I tried restoring iTunes and I ran the iPod reset utility (it did nothing). when I look in the manual, it tells me to go to places (ie: the settings tab) which do not show up on my iTunes. How do I get this device to start accepting downloads again?

Try it again... It works! New iTunes version 10.0.1.22.
I have had the same problems, for years it seems. Shuffle Gen2 (I have 2) would tie up iTunes for hours. Restore, utility, reset--nothing would let me update songs on the shuffle (except using a Mac). The swarmy Apple genius workers did not know the answer; they would only say that it works on Macs (which was true, it did work on my Mac notebook BUT my library is on a Windows desktop).
Anyway, I decided to try this again today. Success! Using iTunes 10.0.1.22. I guess they fixed the bug.
