ITunes 8 -  podcast count includes missing podcast episodes

In iTunes 8 (under podcasts tab) most of my podcasts seem to have disappeared, but they are still included in the episode count for each show. For example, iTunes says I have 20 episodes of MacBreak Weekly, and 3 not-listened to, but only one episode displays when I click the icon to open MacBreak Weekly. The counts are probably about correct for the number of podcasts I previously had, but where are all the missing podcast episodes, and why are they counted if they are not there? I couldn't find anyone else posting this problem.
Any ideas?

I am also having the same issue. The count shows what I expect it to show, but the list is missing podcasts. If I dig into the file system, the Podcasts are there, but no matter what, I can not get them to show in Itunes8

  • Podcast Episodes are shown multiple times in itunes

    http://t.co/SE40IZgdBh
    iTunes shows podcast episodes on my iPhone multiple times. In the App on the phone it is shown correctly.
    Can you help me?

    It seems that many people have this problem if you Google it.  My wife has the snag on her iPod Touch 4, whereas mine is fine (well, it was, last time I checked.)  Regrettably, though the problem seems common, what I cannot find is any acknowledgement by Apple, let alone any advice, or, God forbid, a fix!

  • My older podcast episodes are missing on iTunes.

    Just noticed last week that my nine oldest podcast episodes are no longer on itunes. They're alive and well on my blog page so I'm nor sure what happened. Did I reach some magical quota on iTunes? I have no clue how to resubmit or do any of that stuff. Thanks for any help!

    iTunes imposes no limit (at least up to 300). Many podcast creation programs or services limit the number of episodes in the feed, removing older ones when this limit is reached. There is usually a setting to increase this number.
    However there might be other reasons; but it's not really possible to comment unless you would like to publish the URLs of both your feed and the Store page - this latter can be found by control-clicking on the podcast image (or where it should be) - and choosing 'Copy link'.  Please include the http:// in both cases to make the links clickable.

  • New Podcast Episode Not Updating in iTunes

    Hello Apple Community,
    My name is Sara Simms, I have recently started a new DJ podcast series called Flight. My new episode has not updated yet in the iTunes store (its been over three days since I uploaded it)
    My podcast episodes are hosted here:
    http://sarasimms.blogspot.ca
    My Feedburner URL is:
    feed://feeds.feedburner.com/sarasimmsflightofficialpodcast
    I also uploaded new artwork via Feedburner, in the 'Podcast' section of iTunes I see the artwork has updated.
    However, in the iTunes store itself, the new artwork is not displayed. Here is the link to my iTunes podcast:
    http://bit.ly/VM8tcF
    I just pinged Feedburner, hopefully this helps to update everything.
    Could anyone else please let me know if there's anything else I should check/change to make sure my podcast episodes are updating?
    Thank you in advance!
    Best wishes,
    Sara Simms

    Your second episode has a media file referenced at http://sarasimms.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/flight_episode_two
    This works when the URL is entered in a browser, but at the URL has no extension (.mp3) iTunes does not see it as being a media file and thus does not display the episode. You need to give a full URL including the extension, as you have done for your first episode.
    You are mixing episodes with and without media files - there are a lot of earlier episodes which don't have media files - these won't show in iTunes. If blogger limits the number of episodes shown in the feed, these will count towards that limit which could result in episodes not showing in iTunes once you have added enough episodes to trigger the limit.

  • One of my podcast episodes is not listed on iTunes services

    Hola Apple Folk,
    I started a podcast last year, originally on my own personal Wordpress site then moved all the content to a new website. I reposted old episodes to my new site and removed them from my old site then updated my feed. For months, all of my episodes appeared on the iTunes store, Podcasts app, and other apps like Stitcher. Just recently I've noticed that my very first episode is now no longer available in any format, even though nothing was changed in the post and the url still verifies. What's the most likely reason that a single episode might go missing from these platforms?

    There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
    Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights. 

  • I replaced a podcast episode on my rss feed but it won't delete in iTunes.

    Hi. I recently started a podcast and we just became searchable in iTunes yesterday. After recording our second episode a few days ago, one of the podcast hosts finished editing and added the media file to our website and rss feed. I guess he never listened to it before doing so because there is a bad audio problem (one part is way louder than the others.) We have since fixed the audio problem and replaced the file on the post but when I listen to it on iTunes it is still playing the old episode with the audio problem.
    I have deleted the entire post for episode 2 and currently episode 1 is the only one in the rss feed (as far as I know.)
    It's still showing up on my computer's iTunes and iPhone podcast app. I cleared my iTunes cache and went into settings and deleted the podcast from the podcast app, I unsubscribed and resubscribed and episode 2 is still showing up.
    Am I missing something? Is there a better way to clear the cache?
    I had thought that subscribing would automatically link to what's happening in my feed but I can't seem to shake that old episode.
    I am ready to make a new post with the fixed audio file but I would like to make sure that a.) The old one is gone so that two Episode 2s don't show and b.) that there isn't somewhere the messed up audio file is hiding.
    Here is the link to my iTunes podcast feed:

    I greatly appreciate the help.

    Mr. Churchill - First, to answer your last questions:
    Yes, the movie is fully downloaded, all 3.69 GBs.
    No the Apple TV has 127.5 GBs of its 144.63 GBs free.
    Second, I tried turning the Time Capsule WiFi rounter and Apple TV off (for at least two or three minutes, not the usual 10 seconds recommended) and I still could not move the movie.
    Third, I severed the link and set it up again re-synced all 5,103 items back and still when I move the movies to the Apple TV box and Apply it, after 35 seconds it stops the sync and moves it back the the Rented Movies box.
    Though I have set my Apple TV to sync with my MacBook Pro I cannot find a way to connect it to other than shared library, but not the "not shared library" (Is this what the Rented Movies are?). Is what Fletch is talking about int the "Rental Movies not showing up on Apple TV" discussion my problem and a solution?

    there are three possibilities: you have not upgraded to version 2.0 or in Summary on the ATV device in iTunes, you should look whether you have it set up to only sync or otherwise disables movie syncing, or you have not paired your Mac to the ATV (on your tv, settings/computers/connect to itunes library - not shared library)

  • Missing 3 episodes in podcast

    Hello,
    We have been podcasting on iTunes since October 2005 and you can find our podcast in the iTunes directory at:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=81508264
    The problem is that 3 of our episodes (i.e. Jan 2007, Nov 2006, and Sep 2006) are not showing up in iTunes. If you download our full RSS feed from http://feeds.feedburner.com/dhammapodcasts into a feed reader other than iTunes you will see it shows all the 31 episodes. But for some reason in iTunes only 28 episodes show up (i.e. it is missing the episodes posted on Jan 2007, Nov 2006, and Sep 2006). As all 31 episodes show up in various other feed readers this tells me there is something in iTunes that is handling the feed differently and hence not displaying these 3 episodes.
    If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. I contacted iTunes support and they said the only offer limited support for podcasts on iTunes and simply pointed me to: http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html. I reviewed the information on this page, but it did not help.

    Hello,
    I found this section in our Feedburner control panel called Pod Medic (Troubleshootize --> PodMedic).
    It showed me the problem with our Nov. 2006 and Jan. 2007 podcasts was that there were spaces in the file names of our MP3s. Once I updated them to only have underscores it worked fine.
    The problem with our Sept 2006 podcast was not picked up by PodMedic, but I found it to be an error with the link we put into the enclosure field. For some reason we had listed a non-working URL so Feedburner picked up the next working URL in our post which was the Flash version hence it dd not work in iTunes. We now have the correct MP4 URL in the enclosure filed and now it works.
    So the lessons to keep in mind are: (1) Always check iTunes after making a new post to ensure that it shows up, and (2) PodMedic is your friend so make use of it.

  • Latest podcast episodes dont show up in iTunes

    Usually when updating a podcast iTunes will scan the RSS feed, add the latest episode to the list and then download it.
    Now when a new episode of a podcast is available, it wont show up on the list until it has been completely downloaded. I can see in the box at the top of iTunes that it's downloading, and it tells me what episode it's downloading, but wont show up on the list unless I quit and restart iTunes during the download process.
    There are no error messages and no ! next to the feeds. Is this happening to anyone else? I haven't made any changes, it's just started happening.

    In fact the Store is missing episodes 1 and 7,
    Episode 1 is not present in the feed. Episode 7 is, but it has no 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of the media file, as is required by iTunes (and is present in the other episode except a few which are presumabloy designed not to have playable media, and thus don't show in iTunes).
    The media file URL for episode 7 is present in the 'description' tag, and works; but evidently you have failed to do something in WordPress which you did for the other episodes to make it iTunes-compliant.

  • Re-downloading podcast episodes to fix missing files?

    I had a number of podcast episodes stored on an external drive that died. Now these episodes show up in iTunes with a gray exclamation point next to them, because iTunes can't find the corresponding files. I'd like to fix this problem by having iTunes re-download the missing episodes (since most are still available from the podcast server), but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any advice?
    (Note that iTunes still "remembers" some metadata about the episodes, such as whether I've watched/listened to the episode or not, ratings, etc. I would like to retain this information. That's why I haven't just deleted the podcast and re-subscribed.)
    Thanks!

    I just found a solution to this issue today. Try the following:
    Delete the problematic file(s) in iTunes.
    Close the podcast directory by clicking on the enclosing triangle.
    Reopen the podcast using the Option key and clicking on triangle.
    Missing podcasts will now appear with the "Get" flag.
    Hope that works for you.
    best regards

  • ITunes 7 attempting to sync all Podcast episodes regardless of selection

    I don't know if it's just me, but iTunes 7 seems to be ignoring which podcast episodes I have selected to sync and which I haven't, instead attempting to sync them all then erroring. I can get it to work if I only sync new episodes, but I like to keep favorites of previous 'casts as well. Is this an annoying functionality change, a bug, or did I just miss a change in how to achieve my previous configuration?
    *Also wanted to add that this now removes partially played podcasts since they're no longer "unplayed", and the "10 most recent/unplayed" options means I can't load whole podcast books anymore.

    I've got a separate thread running on this, which Derek also replied on (thanks for posting in both, Derek):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637811&tstart=0
    The solution Mark found is not working for me. After disabling "manually manage" to enable "sync checked", and then re-enabling "manually manage", it at first appears like "sync checked" will stay enabled. But after hitting the Apply button, "sync checked" turns off again.

  • PDF as podcast episodes in itunes?

    I have seen this question asked before in forums but with not with an answer.
    I want my video podcasts also to have pdfs downloaded as separate aside podcasts. I've seen this done many times especially in language learning podcasts. Can this be achieved using iweb?
    Dropping the pdf into a placeholder doesn't work.
    Thank you!

    I’ve seen .pdf files in iTunes also. I’ve done some investigating as I may be using this feature in the future for lecture suppliments. This is what I’ve found:
    As you may know, you can create an ‘enhanced’ podcast in Garageband. This will allow you to place images (any kind – like lecture slides) or even .pdf files as ‘chapter markers.’ There should be a little tutorial (video I think) about how to do this with Garageband. There’s a plus and a minus to adding extra content this way. The plus, is that you can present images to your listeners at any point in the podcast. If they have the latest version of iTunes (or maybe even earlier – I’m not sure) they will see this extra content in the ‘album art’ window. They can click on the content and see it full size in a separate window. In addition, you can give this content a url – meaning that listeners can click on the link and go to a webpage or even a .pdf file (hosted somewhere). The downside is that this embedded content is ‘one dimensional.’ I tried to embed a multipage .pdf file and was only able to access the first page (because the podcast treats this as a chapter marker). All that to say that this ‘enhanced’ podcast is not what you are seeing on iTunes.
    The .pdf files that you see in iTunes come from the RSS feed of the subscribed podcast. I found a tip on doing this here:
    http://www.digitalproducer.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=48529
    This seems to be how it works: When a person subscribes to the RSS feed, it’s a simple file on the web somewhere. This file tells iTunes what to go and get, as well as things like content and file type. You can have an RSS feed that tells iTunes to get a podcast and a corresponding .pdf file. It’s actually pretty cool.
    But here’s the hang-up: iWeb creates your RSS feed. And like most things in the 1.0 version of iWeb, advanced things require work-arounds. It looks like iWeb creates a RSS feed from your podcast blog structure. I don’t know of anyway of altering the RSS feed (like you would as shown in the link above) except for just ‘getting in there.’ As we know, iWeb has a tendency to create brand new files when performing changes. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if your ‘altered’ RSS feed that includes the .pdf link goes away when you add a new podcast episode (hence creating a new RSS feed). That means a lot of tedious work every time you add a new episode (to re-alter the RSS file to include the .pdf files).
    Here’s what I see as the least ‘bang you head against the wall’ solution. Use an enhanced podcast with urls to the pdf files. You can add the file to the main episode page in your podcast or have it hosted on an ‘invisible’ page on your site. Listeners in iTunes will be able to link to the .pdf, and listeners off the iWeb page will also have the .pdf in front of them. iWeb should be OK with this, as the RSS feed isn’t being changed after publishing and the links should be stable. The other solution is to create podcasts and not separate pages for the episodes (just drag the podcast files to a folder on your iDisk under iWeb). This way, you can create an RSS feed that includes the .pdf files. However, this means that people will only be able to listen (and get the .pdf) if they are using iTunes with a subscription to your RSS feed.
    Hope this helps

  • ITunes isn't picking up my latest podcast episode, though it's showing up in the RSS feed.

    I had to delete the latest blog post on my site with my most recent podcast episode because something was wrong with the audio file. I deleted the entire blog post and the episode disappeared from iTunes--all good so far.
    When I re-posted everything (blog post title was slightly different, but the filename for the linked .mp3 file was the same), it never showed up in iTunes (24 hours later at the moment), although it's showing up in the RSS feed.
    Any ideas why the new episode isn't showing up in iTunes?
    This is me (us): http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/love-this-movie-hate-this-film/id393761573
    The latest episode should be "730 Days Later: Anniversary Special" from this blog post: http://lovethismoviehatethisfilm.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/730-days-later-anniver sary-special/
    Thanks!

    The latest episode does not have have an 'enclosure' tag containing the URL of an mp3 or other media file, so iTunes will not show the episode.
    There is an mp3 file linked to in the web page, and in the 'content:encoded' tag, which iTunes does not read, but though the other episodes are OK you have evidently missed out a step in WordPress.I can't advise on that, but whatever you did before to get the file into the feed is what you need to do here.

  • Half podcast episodes missing

    Only half of my podcast episodes are turning up in iTunes - I think this is because Feedburner isn't picking up on them (http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThePilgrimsPodcast). I may be past some maximum information limit. Is there some way to either filter my blog feed to only include posts with podcast audio (like, instead of plugging in the website's URL - plug in the URL for a blogger label)? Or should I figure out another hosting service?
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pilgrims-podcast/id942105067?mt=2

    Your feed has seven episodes with playable media, and these show in iTunes (episodes 7 to 13). It also has numerous episodes which have no playable media, and these are not shown in iTunes. There are 25 episodes in all.
    The feed has been originally constructed in Blogger, and if you were expecting to see older episodes in it, it's likely that Blogger is limiting you to 25 episodes shown in the feed, older ones being moved to an archive page and out of the feed - something that many services do.
    Of course if you are going to mix weblog and podcast episodes in the same feed then this sort of thing is going to happen. Neither Feedburner nor Blogger can detect the difference. It's better to keep the podcast episodes in their own separate feed. However there may be a setting in Blogger to allow you to include more episodes. The iTunes Store doesn't impose a limit until you get to 301.

  • How do I delete a podcast episode in itunes 11?

    I typically download podcast episodes in iTunes and then sync them with my phone. I listen to the podcasts on my iPhone and then delete them when done. I have been doing this for years. Now, I cannot figure out how to delete the individual episodes from my podcasts in iTunes 11. What am I missing?

    You and me both!
    I started out with an Apple+ way back when.  We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
    Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes.  My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard.  (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
    Sigh.
    I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY!  I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS.  BUMMER!
    Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts.  UCK!
