ITunes - iTunes U podcasts insist on appearing in music library

Hi,
I hope this is roughly speaking the right place to ask this.
As the subject says I have downloaded a lot of podcasts from iTunes U and rather than being in the podcast library they have appeared inthe music library.
Downloading via my iPod touch they appear as regular podcasts so the issue is in iTunes.
Is there a way of forcing these podcasts be act like proper podcasts.
I don't mind too much if I have to hack a script together, but I would prefer something involving less effort.
Thx,
Rob...
Examples are:
iTunes U -> Stanford -> Science & Technology -> Mathmatics & Computer Science
iTunes U -> Little Kids Rock -> Guitar Lessons - Videos

but I can't find them in the library or anywhere in my iPod.
All my iTunes U downloads happen to be videos (perhaps they all are - I'm not a frequent user) and I found them under *Video Playlists.* From the *Main Menu,* look under *Videos/Video Playlists,* but do not look under Movies, they are not there!
Note that if Videos is not already shown on your Main Menu, you can select it to show up by going to *(from Main Menu)/Settings/Main Menu.*
By the way - the iTunes U videos cannot be found with the Search facility on my 160GB iPod Calssic. Bit odd really!

  • Why do podcasts I add appear in music library but not in podcasts ?

    I personally find iTunes to be deeply counter-intuitive and confusing, so this maybe a simple user error. I'm adding podcasts from a hard disk. They were downloaded some time ago, under linux, from BBC Radio using the 'getiplayer' app. They exist as mp3 files on my harddisk, within a 'My Music' folder (my mistake).
    When I add music files to iTunes from 'My Music' the podcasts are addded to the music library. When I delete them from that library, sending the files to trash, then add them from the original source to the Podcasts library, they appear back in the Music library but are not listed under Podcasts
    What am I doing wrong?

    There have always, well for the past few years, written installers that just create a mess.  All installed applications should appear in Finder, Applications.  Not all of those will appear in Launchpad.  When you encounter one that does not appear in the correct way, all you can do is manually move things around so it is consistent with the way apps should work.

  • After yesterday's "upgrade", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library.  It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.

    After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library.  It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.  What gives?  And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything?  It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.

    Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

  • I have recently purchased an album from iTunes but although I see it in my music library none off the songs play they just skip through to the next one repeatedly. I since downloaded another song and this work perfectly

    Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store?  Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

  • HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

    A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod.  They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod.  There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store.  Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • I've bought music from iTunes and  but it doesn't appear in music app.

    I've bought music from iTunes and downloaded it but it doesn't appear in music app. Also, music I sync from computer to iPhone doesn't show up in music either? Please help!!
    The device is an iphone 5 and its got all the latest software downloads etc.

    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • Podcasts don't appear in nano library

    Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes, the podcasts stored on my nano don't show up in my library. I have a 'Music' library in which my songs appear, but ther is no separate podcast library and the podcasts don't show up in 'Music'. They appear in the individual ipod playlists, but I can't delete them from my nano from there. Need to delete them from the library to clear space.
    Anyone else have this problem?

  • Podcast pdf show notes appearing in Music library

    I subscribe to a podcast which posts both the mp3 audio file as well as pdf show notes. iTunes is confusing these pdf files as digital album booklets, and the pdfs are appearing in the music library, as well as in the podcasts library. The podcast mp3 audio files are ok, they do not appear in the music library, but stay in the podcasts library.
    I have noticed this behavious since iTunes 8. I am currently running iTunes 9.
    Anyone has any advise on how to correct this?

    I had a bunch of pdf files and other iTunesU files showing up in my Music list. The only way I could get this cleared up was to delete them and download again - the "KIND" category for some of these is new to iTunes and so with no classification, they will show up.
    You might be able to edit the info on these and add or change KIND values so they move to the right view.

  • Podcasts appear in music library as well as podcast list

    So, I don't know why, but sometimes, and now constantly, my iTunes and iPod get the podcasts appearing in the library, with the actuacl name of the song. How can I stop this?

    Okay.
    In iTunes 5, when you click on library, you have some 'radio' buttons across the top, just above the column titles . . . they are: All, Music, Audiobooks, Podcasts, Videos, Booklets . . .
    When "All" is selected, you get it all. What you need to do is select "Music" and you'll see JUST your music. IMHO, it's much easier to see what you want with this method of keeping the library.

  • I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing  iPad music.

    I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
    Thanks!!

    You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

  • HT4061 I have been trying to understand the new itunes, as I want to get into my music library, and getting very frustrated not being able to figure it out.  Can you help by walking me through it?

    Recently you changed the itunes and I am unable to download additional music from my computer to iphone.  How do I do this, as I want to update my music, etc.?

    Open iTunes, click on view, click on show side bar to get the classic style of iTunes.

  • Itunes 11.0.4.4, view playlists AND music library??

    I had avoided updating my iTunes version for a long, long time, as I had been quite happy with 10.something. In that version, I could see all my playlists on the left-hand side while viewing my entire music library. This allowed for easy dragging of songs into playlists. Now that I have (finally) purchased an iPhone 4, iTunes said that I needed to update in order to sync it, as my 10.something was incompatible with the phone. As I feared, the new version has me baffled.
    Here's what it used to look like:
    and here's what it looks like now:
    Is there no way to see the Playlist list while in the Music Library??
