ITunes categorises my podcast as 'video podcast' instead of 'audio podcast'

I'm new to this!
When I started, I had 'select any media file' ticked on my Feedburner preferences in 'create podcast enclosures from links to'. iTunes took this and added a random video I had uploaded ages ago (as well as the audio podcasts I wanted up) and put me into the video podcasts category. Once I sorted it out, I changed my preferences to read 'audio files only', and pinged etc.
iTunes has now updated everything, however the category remains stuck on video podcasting! I can't figure out how to change this. Is there something in the XML file? I've looked all through it and can't see anything I should change!
Or is it just that iTunes will take a while to update and reflect the changes?
Many thanks for your time.

I'm getting 'Podcasts>Audio Podcasts>Video Games>GAMINGtruth' which seems reasonable. Your category tags read
<itunes:category text="Games & Hobbies">
<itunes:category text="Video Games" />
</itunes:category>
So it looks as if it's sorted itself out.

IPod Video plays w/no audio

Recently i downloaded videos and saved them to my iTunes. once i converted the video and syced into my iPod, you could not hear the music of that video and not on the iTunes. But the original video did play with audio. How do i get the converted version of the video to play with audio in my iPod?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

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

Can't see shared iTunes U or Podcasts from Mac on iPhone or iPad

Since update to iOS6, I don't see my shared iTunes U and Podcasts from my Mac on my iPhone or iPad.
What can be the reason and is there a solution?
Thanks.

OK, I think I solved this issue by a workaround -
Uninstall the Podcasts and the iTunes U apps, restart the iOS device and then connect to the shared iTunes library from the Videos app on the iOS device.
BTW, I also noticed that the TV shows are not sorted anymore since the upgrade (looks like a bug to me).

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

ITunes syncing my podcasts to a different iPod

We have an iMac running Mac OS X (Tiger). I have a 5G 30GB iPod and my son has a 4GB Nano. Each of us has our own account (mine is the admin. account) and our own separate music libraries in iTunes.
Once when I was working under my account, I wanted to charge his Nano's battery. When I plugged it into our Mac, I got the message stating that his iPod was synced to another account. My options were to either erase his Nano and sync it to my library or to cancel. Naturally, I selected "CANCEL". But interestingly enough, the podcasts I subscribed to started to sync to my son's Nano. Once the sync was complete, I checked my son's Nano and, sure enough, there they were.
So, not wanting my 8-year old to hear the exploits and musings of those wacky madcaps at "beer.com", I logged off my account, logged on as my son, plugged in his Nano, synced up with iTunes, deleted the podcasts from iTunes, synced up again and finally set the parental lock to disable podcasts. All is well.
Now whenever I plug in his Nano to charge it when my account is active, the same message comes up as before. When I select "CANCEL", iTunes still shows the podcasts syncing to my son's Nano but (as near as I can tell) they aren't actually getting there. I still make a habit of checking just to make sure they don't get there.
My questions are: Have I got something set wrong somewhere to cause iTunes to try to sync podcasts to my son's Nano, or is this just the way iTunes works? Why does iTunes show podcasts syncing to the Nano when I have both disabled podcasts on the Nano AND selected not to sync it to my iTunes library? Is the parental control to disable podcasts only a part of the iTunes software and not the Nano itself? In other words, can my iTunes library not tell that my son's Nano is not supposed to get podcasts, or is syncing podcasts simply based on the iTunes settings for the active account irrespective of whose iPod is plugged in at the time?
Right now it is not a big issue as all podcasts are currently disabled on his account. If he ever wanted to subscribe to some more age-appropriate podcasts, however, then I assume I'll be able to set something somewhere to keep the more adult-themed material from getting on to his Nano irrespective of whose account is active when I plug in his Nano to charge it. The other options, of course, are to only plug in his Nano to the Mac when his account is active or to charge it from a plug-in.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this issue.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry I forgot to ask How. Do I export the library? When I choose this my only choice is a .txt file. Or do I backup the whole library.
As much info. as possible would be appreciated
Thanks

Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device? You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it. Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

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,

Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad
