ITunes Crashing - Podcasts Listed Twice Under Library

ITunes has seemingly created another Podcast entry under in my Library which means I now have 2. This has the effect of forcing ITunes to crash whenever i attempt to update the podcasts in my original Podcase folder. Any ideas on how to remove this spurious entry?
Thanks,

Hi there -
I had this problem ages ago and posted about it, but never got a response. It eventually went away, though I have no idea/don't recall why - and now it is back! Extremely annoying. Have you heard anything or figured out how to fix it?
Thanks.

Why is Photoshop listed twice under Apps in Creative Cloud?

Thanks for the reply.
I opened a chat session with Adobe and they instructed me to simply
uninstall one of the versions. For example
I had Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC(2014). I uninstalled the Photoshop CC.
Thanks again,

HELP ! : PODCAST SUBSCRIPTIONS LISTED TWICE AFTER LIBRARY RESTORE

I have restored my entire itunes library onto my new computer.
When I restore my podcast subscriptions by drag and dropping the 'Podcasts' playlist over to the library a number of the subscriptions get listed twice.
How do I get all of the podcast episodes to appear under one subscription in itunes ?
Technically I know the reason why this is happening. It is because the podcast author at some point have changed the URL feed for their podcast. So some episodes come from an old URL location and some from the new location.
When itunes imports the podcasts it groups the old podcasts under one subscription heading and the more recent ones under another heading. However both have the same name hence duplicate podcast subscription titles !
Is there any way of forcing itunes to arrange all the podcast episodes under one subscription heading ?

I have been fighting the same issue for over a year, every time there is a new version released I get hopeful and scour the boards for a new solution, but alas no.

ITunes crashes on "Add file to library" or "Add folder to library"

I'm on W7 64 bit. Upon trying to add anything to iTunes it immediately crashes with no usefull error message just windows saying the program has encountered a problem. I tried reinstalling and its doing the same thing, Any ideas?

Fault Module Name: StackHash_ada7
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Okay. Although the Stackhash result here roughly means "Windows 7 doesn't know what module caused the crash", in context it's consistent with trouble with your iTunes library file.
By way of experiment, create a new library.
(1) Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You will be prompted to Choose iTunes Library.
(2) Choose Create Library to create a new one. In the following window you will be prompted to select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
(3) Click Save. iTunes will open the newly created library. After closing iTunes, you can always select the original library by using the Shift key when opening iTunes.
Try adding some of the content that is currently crashing iTunes when you add it to the usual library. Does it add in the new library, or is it the same error in the new library too?

ITunes crashes when I click on Library w/ shuffle connected

I can't get the applecare guys to talk this one out.
I have a g4 imac running osx 10.4 and itunes 7.1.1 and for some reason, whenever I have my shuffle (2nd gen) plugged in and I click on Library, iTunes crashes. I had no problems with 10.3.9 when I first got my new shuffle.
This all started when I updated my os to 10.4 and bought my girlfriend a 2nd gen shuffle. when her shuffle was connected the same thing happend. I hadn't updated my songs since updating my os, so I thought it was a problem with her shuffle. I restored the software on her shuffle, but that didn't help. I actually returned her ipod to amazon.com and got a new one (which I've been using with my new intel iBook).
so, tonight I had my shuffle charging and I clicked on Library and itunes crashed. hmmm. some fun.
so i updated to itunes 7.1.1 and it still does the same thing. Only difference is
my shuffle got erased by the stupid autofill nonsense.
how can I get my **** shuffle to work, again?

How can I get podcasts listed in my library?

I would like to get podcasts but can't find a way to get them listed in my library. I have the latest version they say. I really hope someone can help me.

ITunes crashes when I view music library in Cover-Flow view.

*Whenever I try to view my music library in cover-flow mode iTunes freezes. The only way I can close it is to use Task Manager to stop the iTunes.exe process.* I can then restart iTunes which works fine until I try to switch to Cover-Flow view and it immediately crashes again. Not a show-stopper, but very annoying. This has happened with versions 9.1, 9.2, and now 9.2.1.4
I'm running a Win 7 Ultimate Sony Vaio laptop with 3 gigs memory. Grateful for any suggestions!

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it solves your problem.

TS1717 iTunes crashed while removing duplicates

I sorted my library by song title, and manually selected about 100 duplicate songs. I then right clicked and clicked "Delete." Then I chose to remove the songs from the library and disk. iTunes crashed. When restarted the library indicates missing files for those songs I wanted totally deleted. I checked some and the files are indeed deleted.
Any advice on how to successfully remove these duplicates and how to fix my library would be appreciated.

Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped). Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You should be able to select all the tracks in this playlist with CTRL-A and then remove them from iTunes with CTRL-SHIFT-DELETE.
Or use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
As for tidying up duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!

That is the way the iphone works.
You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.

Itunes Crashes - Duplicate Podcast Libaries

I have a problem where itunes created a new unwanted 'podcast library'.
Now when I try to update or refresh any podcasts in the original 'podcast library', itunes crashes.
I have a mac mini powerpc G4 operating osx 10.5.8. My version of itunes is 10.6.3.
Here is what happened: I suscribed to a new podcast from an internet browser while itunes was closed.
When itunes opened I found that it had created a second 'podcast library' (visible above the previous 'library' on the top left-hand side of itunes).
I also noticed that the small highlighted oval which lists the number of podcast episodes had disappeared from the old 'podcast library'.
When I try to update or refresh a podcast from the existing 'podcast library', itunes now crashes. However, I can still listen to old podcasts.
I tried to manualy delete the new 'podcast library' by going to my itunes Library Folder, but found that there is only one folder named 'podcasts' and it is the original one. I tried re-installing itunes 10.6.3 but the unwanted 'podcast library' still appeared.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any way to delete a duplicate podcast library that itunes created?
Thank in advance for your help!

I have two podcast "folders" in the Library, and system crashes when I try to Refresh

How can I remove the second listing for Podcasts from the iTunes Library - it appeared automatically when I subscribed to a new podcast and now when I try to refresh the old list (where all my podcasts were downloaded) iTunes crashes... repeatedly. Thanks.

I found a very fast and easy solution: I selected all the podcasts in the first window, copied them using the command in the Menu>Edit (Command+C did not seem to work). I then pasted them into the new empty folder. All the podcasts already downloaded appeared. The only problem is that some podcasts did not remember which had been viewed or not, while did keep the information. I just had to re-subscribe to the ones I still wanted by clicking on button.
For some reason, the previous Podcasts folder was only recogized as a list by iTunes, this showed up when I deleted the previous folder (contextual menu). I also had to re-select which ones I wanted synced with my iPad and iPhone.
(I did make a backup of the Podcasts folder in the Finder, just in case, a bit like voodoo computing)

Podcasts go into Music Library rather than podcast list

Hi
I've been downloading a variety of podcasts from iTunesU. Most of them go into the podcast list as you'd expect but some don't - instead they add themselves to the Music Library and also create playlists from themselves! When this happens the podcasts in question don't appear in the podcast directory, just in the music library
I don't want them in the Music Library - they're podcasts after all not music - but can't seem to move them without deleting them
Any suggestions

Found an answer in another thread around here. It's for changing from Podcast to Music, but if you reverse the directions, you'll be all set!
"The "usual" suggestion for anything to do with Podcasts is put them in a playlist, although personally I have never tried this so I don't know if they would appear under music. If you're really determined, you could make a copy of the Podcast file and place it in a music folder. That is, look in the Podcasts folder, and copy or move the file to another folder. You would then have to "add that file" to the iTunes library, and if you've moved it, delete the link to the old location in your library. This seems like an awful lot of work (for each Podcast episode) that achieves ... well, very little quite frankly."
Here's what I did.
From within the Mac's finder, I copied the file to the folder for the podcast I want it to appear with. Then, from within iTunes, I selected Add to Library, navigated to that folder, and picked the file--and voila! It's back listed among the other podcasts!

Everything listed twice in iTunes

Everything (music, podcast, videos, etc) is listed twice in iTunes. I think I might have accidently listed add all the folders twice. But I can not find where the folders are listed so I can check and delete a set if that is what I did. Can someone please help?
Thanks.

You can try this: Exit out of iTunes. Go to your iTunes music folder and look for the iTunes library file (*.itl). Copy that file to a different folder outside of the iTunes folder. Delete the library file in the iTunes folder. Return to the Desktop. Run iTunes. A fresh version of the program will run, and will look a bit alarming because all of your files will appear to have disappeared. Exit iTunes. Go to your iTunes folder and you will see that a new *.itl file has been created. Delete this file. Find the library file that you copied out of this folder and copy it back into the iTunes file folder. Return to the Desktop and run iTunes.
You could also do the above up to the point where you create the new iTunes folder and then import all of your music back into iTunes.
Good luck.

ITunes created a second podcast section in my library, but my iPod can only sync with one

Hi,
I've tried searching for something related to this, so apologies if this has been covered already.
Under "Library" on the lefthand side of iTunes I have
Music
Movies
Podcasts
Podcasts
Itunes U
Books
Note that there are now two listings for podcasts. I have no idea how this happened. I've been using iTunes on this Mac, subscribing to podcasts, for just short of five years. Yesterday I was downloading some new items as podcasts from Librivox.org -- something I have done before, including in recent days -- and the new items unexpectedly went into the (just then created) second podcast section under "library". Not surprisingly, my iPod will only recognize one podcast section (happens to be the newer one).
Again, though this happened while at librivox.org, I have downloaded stuff from them clicking on the same things before, including just a day or two ago, and this never happened before.
1) How do I get all podcasts into one folder so I can choose from my whole library of podcasts when syncing with my iPod?
2) If item 1 above is not possible, at least how can I prevent this from happening again?
Many thanks!
