ITunes is splitting up my Keynote Podcasts!?

I have 11 episodes of Apple's keynotes that I have stored on my external Hard Drive, containing the rest of my iTunes library. I have clean installed OS X Lion and done all the updates, and opened iTunes, clicked "Add to library", added all the podcasts and media etc etc etc..... But when I click "Subscribe" ie, to Apple's KeyNote podcasts, it opens a new Podcast album with a 'Get All" button, BUT I HAVE THEM ALL !?
Is this an easy fix or am I not as blonde as I think?

Start at the beginning.... Grouping tracks into albums.

ITunes have split my podcast folder in two

Some how iTunes have created two folders for podcasts
It started ignoring my original folder with podcasts and created a new empty one. Now it will not sync any of my podcast in the original folder with my iPhone.
I'm using iTunes 10.2.5 (11)
What do I do? Can I merge the two folders.

Hi, Noget and OliverP212. It took me several hours of scouring the Internet and testing solutions on my computer, but I finally have answers for you. This will be a comprehensive answer that includes solutions to some things you may not have asked about. It's so I can copy this answer into several other threads where similar questions are being asked.
Q: How do I add an mp3 podcast file to Mac iTunes 10.6.3 (the latest version as of July 13, 2012)?
1. Open iTunes, go to the FILE menu, select ADD TO LIBRARY, select your mp3 file in the dialog box, and click on Open.
2. The file will most likely have been added to your Music library and not your Podcast library. If this is the case, select the newly-added podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, click on the OPTIONS tab of the dialog box, change the MEDIA KIND dropdown menu to "Podcast," and click on OK. Your mp3 podcase should move to the Podcasts library.
Q: Now that I've added the mp3 podcast to my Podcasts library in iTunes, how do I change the release date so that it shows up in the proper order with all the other podcasts in that series?
1. Download the program ID3 Editor from http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
2. After you've downloaded, extracted, and moved the application to your Applications folder, open ID3 Editor.
3. Go to the FILE menu in ID3 Editor and choose OPEN and select your mp3 file from the iTunes Music folder (not the original mp3 which may be in a different location on your computer). If you don't know where it is, go to iTunes, right-click (or <Control>-click) on the podcast, and select SHOW IN FINDER to see its exact location. The usual path is USER NAME > MUSIC > iTUNES MUSIC > PODCASTS > folder with name of podcast.
4. Your podcast will open in ID3 Editor with the Standard tab active. Click on the EXTENDED tab to see the RELEASED tag field.
5. In the RELEASED tag field, add or change the podcast release date to whatever you want it to be. The format is 2012-07-13 16:30:00 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
6. Click on UPDATE in the lower left and the file will close with your changes saved.
7. Select the newly-updated podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. The podcast should now move to the proper place in order when sorted by Release Date.
Q: My podcasts are in different folders instead of all being in the same folder. How do I group them back together?
1. To make all your podcasts show up in the same folder, the IDENTIFIER and FEED tags need to match for all podcasts.
2. Open ID3 Editor and open all of the podcasts you want to group in iTunes under one folder. (Remember to open the files from within the iTunes Music > Podcasts folder and not from your desktop or Documents folder where you may have stored originals downloaded from the podcast's website.)
3. For each mp3 file opened in ID3 Editor, switch from the Standard tab to the PODCASTS tab.
4. If you have a podcast that shows up properly in iTunes and should be the default name/location for all the other disparate podcasts in the series, bring that file's window forward and copy the URL from its IDENTIFIER field.
5. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective IDENTIFIER field for each one.
6. From the same file you copied the Identifier URL, now copy the FEED URL.
7. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective FEED field for each one.
8. For every podcast file, make sure ENABLE PODCAST TAG is checked (in the upper left of the Podcast tab).
9. Now you have to number all the files properly. To do that, you need to be in the STANDARD tab in ID3 Editor.
10. Count up the total number of podcasts in the series you're consolidating. That TOTAL# number will go in the second TRACK field in the upper left (i.e., Track # of TOTAL#)
11. In the first TRACK field in the upper left, number your files in the order you want them to be listed (i.e., TRACK# of Total#). Also put the TRACK# in the TRACK field in the upper right (next to "Enable V1 tag").
12. Click on UPDATE in the lower left of each file to close each one with your changes saved.
13. For each of the newly-updated podcast files in your Music library, select it so that it's highlighted, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. Once you've done this for every file, all podcasts in the series should be under one folder. (If not, make sure the ALBUM field matches exactly for each file.)
I hope the above resolves all the difficulties you've experienced with Podcasts in iTunes. If not, let me know and I'll add more detail (or correct any inadvertent errors in my instructions).

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
Please help!

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

Problems when downloading keynote podcast.

when i try to download the oct. 14 keynote podcast, it downloads about 99% of the podcast and then itunes freezes up and my computer starts to run super slow. ive tried downloading it several times but each time it freezes. what should i do??

i tried going to the website and it tells me tha the media is not available. then i tried going the the main website (http://release.theplatform.com/) and it asks me to login with a user name and password. so, if you are trying to download the podcast from this link it is probably not available anymore.

IPad cannot play "Back to the Mac" Apple Keynote Podcast ???

Are you kidding me??? Why isn't Apple publishing its own podcast in an .m4v format the iPad can play?
So much for the "integrated" ecosystem Jobs touted in the earnings call Monday...

What I did a few hours ago is deleted the file from the podcast in iTunes, then right-click on the Apple Keynotes podcast feed header and Update Podcas, right-click on it again afterwards and Show all available episodes, then finally download it again. I now have a file which is reported by iTunes as 1,004.4MB and by Finder as 1,053,109,240 bytes - different from the filesize on my previous download - and this file now DOES correctly play on my iPad (and iPhone4 and AppleTV).
My guess is either (1) Apple re-published the file to the podcast feed after some of us had downloaded it (and it got cached various places too) and/or (2) some problem with their content distribution network meant there were some "bad" copies of the file able to be downloaded (depending on which CDN server a user's download request happened to get satisfied by).
Anyway, deleting and re-downloading - and doing no other fiddling - worked fine for me.

Keynote podcast won't play

I have subscribed to the Apple Keynote podcast and downloaded the latest one
It plays fine in iTunes but when I sync to the phone and try to play it
I get the message: "Movie could not be played"
Tried unsyncing it...(Apply) and resyncing it and ...same thing.
I've played these before OK on the phone.
No other similar problems...just on this podcast
any suggestions?
thanks
Pete

OK thanks
Now I don't get this... its the first time I've downloaded anything on the phone through iTunes
When you watch it is your Wifi connected?
If I click on the Keynote in iTunes it first took about 40 mins to download (?)
Now when I click to play it takes a few minutes to load the movie then begins to play OK
However if I disconnect the Wifi it says it needs to connect to it again to watch the movie
What I would like is to have the video completely downloaded to the phone like all the other podcasts and videos I have copied onto the phone.
I notice this one is not listed under video - only visible through iTunes.
any suggestions?
thanks
Pete

Apple Keynote - podcast constantly downloads

Hi folks
I've got an issue where the most recent Apple Keynote (the 22 October 2013 one - new iPad Air etc) downloads constantly to my mac. The result of this is that I have consumed 100Gb of data in less than 24 hours.
I thought this would be easy to resolve - delete the podcast. Not so fast! It refuses to be deleted, keeps reappearing and starts downloading yet again.
Any ideas what I can do?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Andy

Same problem here. That same keynote downloaded about 10 times overnight (last week) but I didn't end up with 10 copies, only 1, they seemed to get deleted after being downloaded but used up a lot of bandwidth overnight.
Once I noticed that it was happening I stopped the downloading cycle/loop and then triggered the download again by clicking on the cloud button next to the podcast entry. Once downloaded I synced it to my iPhone and I thought everything was all good.
This morning I noticed that the podcast was no longer in iTunes on my computer but my iPhone still has it. I have not watched it so it didn't delete it because it had been watched. I re-downloaded it to my computer by clicking the cloud button.
Then I clicked the podcast refresh button (3 quarter circle with an arrow at the top, left of the podcasts window) and the podcast got deleted and started to re-download! I can't get this to stop happening, probably have to unsubscribe from the podcast.
My settings for this podcast are: Subscribed with keep "Last 5".
I would also note that this is not a new problem, I have had this before with this very podcast. Previous keynote podcasts have re-downloaded themselves multiple times but this time it seems to be happening more often for some reason.
iTunes 11.1.1 (11) on Mac OS X 10.8.5 but, as mentioned above, I have had this problem in the past with older versions of iTunes and Mac OS X.

ITunes does not show up my podcast anymore!! help!!

Hi all, please help.
Last week I have noticed that the iTunes store doesn't list my podcast anymore.
I have talked to the iTunes people via e-mail but its been useless!
PLease would you know why??? not its not a bad/dirty podcast. I have noticed other podcast like mine and they all still up and running. I have 9.000 subscribers to my podcast and iTunes its making this situation really bad for me!! please help..no do not send me to the Q/A of apple ..you never get the thing you need..
I really think iTunes has messed up with my podcast nad now i v to pay the consequences !!
here my podcast well up on podbean
http://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail?pid=35160

About the copyright issue . There are millions of podcast that they actually do the same thing, and they still up and running. So why We have been deleted??
No one on here can tell you exactly why the people running the iTunes Store do anything. What I suggested is a possibility, but I can't say that it's certainly the problem. However, the fact that a lot of other podcasts also include uncleared copyright material doesn't really come into it - it may be that you were unfortunate enough to be noticed and they haven't been. The fact is that if you - or anyone else - are using copyrighted material without getting proper clearance then you are breaching copyright (not that I care, but the owners might): this is one of the reasons iTunes lists for removing podcasts, so it may or may not be the problem.

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place

When I import my CDs to ITunes it splits some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way I can combine them into one?

When I imported my CDs into ITunes it split some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way to recombine them back into one album?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, then you need to identify it as a 'compilation' CD. Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
Video podcasts are mixed with audio
podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
its a disaster
my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit. ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac. I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER. They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM? My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious. I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated. I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE. Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

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.
