ITunes does not play Podcasts in a row

Hi everybody.
Why is it, that iTunes does not play Podcasts in a row like it does in individual playlists. It stops after each episode of a subscribed Podcast and I have to manually trigger the next one. Even more so, the iPod returns to its main menu after each episode in a Podcast. This is annoying, especially when I am driving or jogging.
Do I have to organize my Podcasts in playlists or is there another trick or tweak?
Thank you!

Playlists are a possible workaround, but I just drill into the genre -> Podcast -> "All" -> podcast name to get to a list that plays straight through.

Sometimes itunes does not play songs

From time to time my itunes stops playing: When I select
a song in my library or a song in the itunes store, the song
is displayed at the top, but itunes does not start playing.
Additionally, it won't play any other song.
When I close the itunes software (hitting [x] at the top
of the window), I cannot restart itunes until I end
the still living process itunes.exe in the task manager.
When I restart itunes afterwards, the same songs in the
library (or in the itunes store) play properly.
I use itunes 7.2.0.34, but the problem also existed
with earlier versions (I think they startet with 7.x)
and still persists.
I followed the hints in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610,
no change.
Does anybody experience similar problems?
This is really frustrating!
Thanks,

Just as an update, someone suggested reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem. I don't know if you loose the songs in your library but I asked the kind person that answered my question.

Itunes does not mark podcasts which have been played on ipod as played

When I sync my ipod with itunes, podcasts which I have played on my ipod are not marked as played on itunes. However, if I have played a podcast on itunes it does mark the podcast as played on both itunes and my ipod. This used to work at one time, but for some reason has stopped. How do I get it working again so that itunes will mark a podcast which has been played on my ipod as played and not remark my already played podcast as unplayed after syncing?

I'm having very similar behavior. I wish Apple would get pay a lot more attention to the numerous podcasting sybching/ playing issues. In my case, there's a couple of podcasts in particular that even though I listen to the particular podcast, it never is recognized as having been listened to on my iPod. As a result, old podcasts just seem to keep "hanging around" and are never overwritten or deleted from my iPod (4 GB , nano, 1st generation) when I sync up. Apple... pay attention... please...! Anyone else have this particular behavior ?

IPod Shuffle does not play podcasts in set order

I see others have been having this trouble and have tried the recommendations but they are not working.
I have tried to set the play order of podcasts and am only successful when I sort them by time. If I download a number of podcasts on the same day (someone said that they play by download date) I cannot set the play order. Someone said to drag the podcast to the desired order and that does not work with podcasts. It might with albums but not with podcasts.
In addition, someone said to drag each podcast to the iPod in the order you want each one played. That does not work, either. Finally, if I do settle for the order displayed in the iPod play list and I haven't sorted by time, the Shuffle will not play them in the order played in iTunes.
I have Shuffle set in iTunes to repeat all play; not shuffle. I don't use autofill. I'm sure I'm setting the button on the back of the Shuffle to play in order. Is there something I'm overlooking?
I'm running the latest of both iTunes and iPod Shuffle on Windows XP Pro. I just re-loaded this software on a new computer and had the same problem with XP Pro on the old computer.
Am I asking too much from iTunes? I don't use it for music. Do I actually need a more sophisticated program other then iTunes if I use Shuffle only for podcasts?

That is in fact how podacsts work in the iTunes/iPod system. The only sorting is based on release date (time) which is set and sortable only in iTunes. You aren't missing anything,and nothing you do subsequently will affect that order; podcasts are and are treated differently.

My Itunes does not play quicktime

I have the latest Itunes software version 10.6.3 but when I go to podcasts and try to play video, it tells me that my version does not support quicktime. Help! I have tried updating it but it does not seem to work.

Try relaunching iTunes in 32-bit mode first, as per the instructions in the following document:

Itunes 12 not playing podcasts in correct order

I upgraded to the new version of itunes and ever since it will not play the oldest podcast to newest as it used to do in itunes 11. I found the settings and changed the setting to play from oldest to newest, I even changed the setting to show oldest on top and newest on bottom. neither of these settings seems to be effective in controlling itunes. How do I get these settings to actually effect itunes and not just be a placebo setting.
Thanks in advance for all help.

I'm having the same issue. I tried reinstalling but was not successful. Have also yet to hear back from Apple with a solution. Are you still having the issue?

My itunes does not play anything anymore

Itunes won't play anything anymore, wether it is in the cloud, from the store or even from my computer. It shows the song in the window but no sound and the timer does not move from 0:00

Hello KarolineSG,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like iTunes on your Mac is not playing songs at all, and the play counter is stuck at 0:00.
You can find some troubleshooting tips for this situation in the following article:

Most of the steps in this article can help with both iTunes 11 and 12.

Itunes does not update podcasts mac

My itunes no longer updates podcasts. Last successful update was 7/14/14 for one podcast and 7/11/14 for others v. 11.3 (54). Clicking on the ! does not work. In some cases it freezes iTunes. Any ideas? Thanks.

Unfortunately it did not work out. It downloads the file and then after a while "processing the file" and the it gives the message "timed out make sure you're connected to internet"

ITunes does not play music downloaded from match

Hope this is the correct location for this...
I have iTunes Match, I also have an iPhone 4.
If i download music from Match on to the iPhone device, everything works fine on the iPhone.
However, if i plug my iPhone into iTunes, go to device and select Music under my phone, the songs which were downloaded from Match to the device do not play. They just retuen with the
If i play songs downloaded from Match on the iPhone itself, it works fine.
iTunes is authroized, and signed in.
Songs that are hard synced (synced with device plugged into iTunes and not downloaded from Match directly to the device) work fine.
Any ideas?

First of all make sure that you have the volume turned up with the control on the right side of the iPad. You play music in the Music App - not in iTunes. If you have the volume turned up and you are using the Music App - restart or rest the iPad and see if that helps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

ITunes Server - iTunes does not play .m4a files

Hello,
when enableing iTunes server on NSS326 and connecting to it via latest iTunes, connect goes OK (The name of the server changes, but this is a known bug). The music files are displayed, but .m4a Files are not played back. .wav files are played back. .m4a files are played correct via iTunes when accessed via File System. Is there any fix for this?
Ognian

Found it,
looks like iTunes is very sensitiv to the tags info inside the m4a file. Get mp3tag select all m4a files, and hit Save. That's it. mp3tag saves the tags correct.

Itunes does not play after importing into timeline

I have looked at similar topics in this discussion forum but still unable to get the answers.Basically the problem is that after importing (purchased) itunes(6) music(and it imports OK)there is no music when played back in the time line.In the imovie palette (audio view) the itunes music plays normally.CD is also greyed out even if there is a CD in the CD drive,so obviously CD tracks cannot be played.Itunes 'by itself' plays normally and CD is also recognised.Voice overs thru microphone,original audio from footage also plays normally.All boxes ticked on the right/computer volume set to high etc so setting seems allright.I am using formac studio to import analogue footage and can hear the original sound when importing.Using imovie 3.03 on ibook.this may/maynot be relevant-on the G3 imac in imovie(3.03)the itunes/CD tracks imports and plays on the timeline,however the original footage soundtrack sounds like gunfire from a machine gun.It is normal with the imported itunes soundtrack switched off.
Grateful for any thoughts/adv

Hi rav - are you sure that if you have a CD installed you cannot see its tracks in the Audio Pane? Even though 'Audio CD' is greyed out, the contents of the CD are still there and accessible.
Can you convert the track to mp3 format? iMovie does accept mp3s. Doing so might break the deadlock.
Sorry, I can't help with your other audio issue.

Hi, my itunes does not play any songs it just stays on 0:00 is there any way to fix this?

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but it does not seem to be working. Any help will be appreciated.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.
