ITunes deleting items I want to keep!

iTunes is deleting large chunks of my extensive Podcast Collection. I have told it to do NO such thing!! So, anything I can do that might fix it? This is EXTREEMLY Frustrating!
Windows 7 Home Premium
iTunes 11
Acer Aspire, 4GB RAM
I'm Have an iPod Classic that I Sync with it, if that helps.
Any help will be appriciated:) Thank you:)

See Why did iTunes 11.1 (126) delete all (SEVERAL HUNDRED) Podcasts.
More recently a new option has been added that automatically deletes podcasts when they have been played. it is turned on by default so you may need to revisit your settings. I'm on an iPad just now so I can't check the details.

  • Itunes deletes Podcats I want to keep

    Hello,
    I download video podcasts on to my Ipod. Video-Podcasts I want to keep in Itunes after I have watched them, are being deleted from the Ipod and my computer, after syncing. I have highlighted the settings: Episodes to keep: All episodes, but it still keeps deleting them.
    I am sure that I have made all the adjustments necessary in Itunes, so that it should work, but somehow Itunes seems to ignore my adjustments.
    I even had my brother doing everything I did, on his Itunes, and it worked with him.
    What can I do to stop Itunes deleting my Podcasts?
    I have had that issue for a while now, and couldn't resolve it.
    Do you know what to do? I have new IPOD Touch 8GB, and have the latest Itunes version installed on the Computer (Windows 7).

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

  • Itunes playlist is deleting songs, I want to keep!

    When I try to create a new playlist, if any songs in the playlist are in any previous playlists, it deletes any duplicate songs from all previous playlists. How do I keep all my previous playlists the same if I want one song in multiple playlists?

  • HT1751 If I need to delete iTunes but reinstall and want to keep my music do I use this method and will it work?

    My computer is running very slowly and I have been told to delete everything off it and reinstall applications I need - iTunes is one of them...
    However I'm scared that if I uninstall iTunes then reinstall it my music on my iPod will be deleted. If I use this method will my music be saved and be able to be reloaded onto iTunes and my iPod?!

  • How can I stop Safari switching off Keychain items I want to keep open? It's annoying!

    I’ve got loads of passwords saved in Secure Notes in Keychain.
    Typically I’ll open a Secure Note and copy and paste the passwords into a Safari page.
    Now with Mavericks, as soon as I’ve pasted the password, the Secure Note is automatically switched off. I assume this is some sort of security feature? Trouble is, I quite often need to keep the Secure Note open for other reasons - so now I have to keep opening the same note!
    Does anyone know how I can stop this?

    Barney - I do value your help.
    I’m particularly grateful that you have investigated my problem and have confirmed that A. It is true and B. It can’t be altered.
    And I do appreciate that you have taken the time to look for a workaround issue for me.
    As far as I can see our only disagreement is over your suggestion that the solution is to have separate accounts.
    When I responded I wasn’t trying to be antagonistic - only to point out that in my case having separate accounts would be impractical.
    My only complaint is levelled at Apple, not you! They have done something to Keychain Access / Safari that may be a benefit to others - but it is an irritation to me.
    In an ideal world, I’d have an option in Safari Preferences saying something like: ‘Don’t let Autofill Passwords switch off Keychain Access Secure Notes after use’.
    So, my sincere apologies if I have come across as ungrateful. I really do appreciate that people like yourself take the time to selflessly offer community support to people like me.
    Cheers

  • I am working in my itunes and removing duplicates. When I go to delete a series of items then I press the shift button highlight and delete; when I want to delete several that are not in a series I go to use my "fn" button, it wont work

    I am working in my iTunes removing duplicates. When I want to remove a series of duplicates I hit the shift button on the key board, highlight and delete; when I want to select several to delete but are no in a series in the past I would hit the 'fn' button then highlight and delete. That button does not seem to be working at all. Any insight would be appreciated. Thx

    Command-click does the trick.

  • ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

    I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
    Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
    Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
    Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
    After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
    I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
    Thanks!

    In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.

  • Deleting Items on Apple TV and Ripping Videos for iTunes

    I have two questions that if answered would take care of the only problems that I have had with my Apple TV and they are really not problems, just questions.
    First, Apple suggests that if you have a slower wireless system it is better to sync and move copies of items to the Apple TV rather than stream. No problem. I moved my audio library to my Apple TV and it works great. It also said when syncing that it would removal those items that will fill up the Apple TV disk in an order of preference. My music library took up about 1/4 the space on the disk. I do not want any of my music removed if and when the disk starts to fill. I will watch movies that I have ripped from disks or other sources through my Apple TV but as I view those, I will either selectively manage them or want to delete them from the Apple TV disk.
    My first question, is how do you selectively delete items from the Apple TV disk.
    My second question is that as I convert video from what ever format they are in into Apple TV compatible format (H264 or MPEG4, I can get them on my desktop or actually onto the drive that holds all of my ITunes music. But how do I get them into the iTunes movie folder so I can sync them to my Apple TV since they were not downloaded through iTunes?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    My first question, is how do you selectively delete items from the Apple TV disk.By deselecting them in the iTunes > Device > Category > Item listing. Like a DotMac account or the iPod, TV sychronizes files by "mirroring" your selections in the "host" iTunes application. When you modify your settings there, the changes will, with time, be reflected on the TV device drive.
    But how do I get them into the iTunes movie folder so I can sync them to my Apple TV since they were not downloaded through iTunes?Assuming you are using the default "automatic" management system for iTunes, you simply open iTunes and either use the "Add to Library" File menu option to navigate to the file you wish to add to iTunes or "drag 'n drop" the file to the opened iTunes Library list. By default, unmodified video conversions will be classified in the "Movies" category and you should find them in that category of the library once the file is either copied to the iTunes Library or the path is copied to the iTunes Library database. (I prefer keeping all my files physically in my iTunes Library which is located on a dedicated external hard drive and deleting the original files from all other locations.)
