ITunes Loosing Podcasts

Randomly, iTunes is loosing my podcast downloads. Started happening 2 upgrades ago. Daily, some of my podcasts are lost by iTunes and I get the error "...Origional file could not be found".
When the podcast is downloaded, it goes into a temporary directory (for example) C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My iTunes\Downloads\Podcasts\Dirty Jobs_Alligators and Sugarcain.tmp\download.mp3
At this point, I CAN play the podcast. However, when I shutdown iTunes and then restart it later; the "origional file can not be found" error comes up.
The file should be moved to a directory similar to this (C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\My iTunes\Podcasts\Discovery Channel Features\Dirty Jobs_Alligators and Sugarcain.mp3), but it is not...the temporary file is simply deleted.
Doesn't happen for each podcast. Seems to be no ryme nor reason as to which one(s) get lost. Happens on a regular (daily) basis. I'm loosing cool content.
HELP!

    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Itunes in my Ipad only gives me three options: itunes U, Podcasts and download. What do I do?

    iTunes in my iPad only gives me three options: iTunes U, Podcasts and downloads (which, by the way, doesn't go beyond the terms and conditions). How do I get the rest of the options?

    Well, Meg, I'm more than sorry too. It is not our intention to violate any terms. We are only trying to find a viable and legal way to be able to enjoy the full potential of our iPad and, of course, pay for it as expected. Even when I'm at fault for not doing some research before buying it, it is certainly unfortunate to discover that we won't be getting our money's worth after all. If you ever hear about this limitation changing, please, let me know. Thank you for all your help.

    Hello, bisco,
    This forum is for questions from people who administer iTunes U sites. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the iTunes or iPod forums.

  • ITunes U Podcasts polluting Music Library

    Hi there,
    I have strange issue using iTunes 9.
    I subscribed to iTunes U podcast. iTunes downloads chapters and throws it into iTunes U label but at same time it adds it into Music Library.
    iTunes U podcasts on grid view in "U" section are shown as different podcasts but in list view everything is OK.
    See screenshot for details:
    Screen 1: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/163795/Zrzut%20ekranu%202009-09-22%20%28godz.%2004.58 .01%29.png
    Screen 2: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/163795/Zrzut%20ekranu%202009-09-22%20%28godz.%2004.58 .15%29.png
    In Music Library while in grid view I can see all those podcast's chapters all around.
    See screenshot for details:
    Screenshot 3: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/163795/Zrzut%20ekranu%202009-09-22%20%28godz.%2005.01 .33%29.png
    Strange is - my "U" content is labeled as "Music" while in Music Library and as "Podcast" while in iTunes U section selecting multiple files at once. Such settings are "out of the box" right after file is downloaded from iTunes.
    See screenshots for details:
    Screenshot 4: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/163795/Zrzut%20ekranu%202009-09-22%20%28godz.%2005.01 .44%29.png

    I can't do anything about it - as you can see options are grayed out or changing them does nothing.
    Do i do something wrong or is it iTunes 9 bug?

    just reformatted my computer as it went kaput and all the I tune is gone..So I downloaded 8.0 and set up a new new ITUNE and copied songs from my I MUSIC library that was in my hard drive.When I connected my I phone it says that my iPHONE is attached to another library and it will not take some new songs that I downloaded.
    I PHONE does not even play as the playlists are dim.
    Even If I am able to trnsfer music from the library I will not be able to transfer to the I phone as it is not recognising it..pl help

  • My itunes store podcast page

    Is it possible to customize the page that displays when you are looking for podcasts in the iTunes store? I submitted a podcast I made, and in the process you submit a URL for the small graphic on the podcast page, but in the iTunes store, there are featured albums or podcasts that have background graphic and it looks like customizable content. Anyone one know if this is possible for anyone uploading content to the itunes store, or just features. For a good illustration of what I'm talking about, look at the smithsonian page here http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcasts.html

    Thanks Roger,
    I would have never have found this on my own! Hiding in plain sight
    Somehow this tag got set in my FeedForAll template and then got replicated as I cloned new episodes into the feed.
    I've already fixed the tags and upload the new XML.
    Thanks again.

  • Older and manually-added podcasts not in iTunes 7 Podcasts

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 7. For some of the older podcasts and ones that I have downloaded manually, they don't appear under the Podcasts icon in either the iTunes:Library:Podcasts or iTunes:Devices:<my iPod>:Podcasts.
    All these new and old podcasts have the Podcast genre label.
    However, if I create a Podcasts Smart Playlist with the genre is Podcast, I can see them all. However, I notice that in the Browser, the newer podcasts show up in the Artist mind-window as "Podcasts", while the older ones have their actual Artist listed.
    What is going on here? It's really inconsistent, and I miss some of my podcasts going through the Podcast label on the top level of the iPod.
    iPod 20GB, 4G   Windows XP  

    I use the "Recently Added" smart playlist to find my "hidden" manually-sync'd podcasts. Let's me play them but I can't delete the darn things EVER! I'm afraid to try the suggestion about only syncing checked items cuz every time I change the syncing settings, everything gets deleted off my ipod.
    Thank goodness I have the 60G so at least I have room -- for now -- for the old undeletable ipods. If I had a nano, I'd be really mad!
    Has anyone figured out how to delete?

  • ITunes Library & Podcasts

    I have seen posts identifying a frustration I have with the way current versions of iTunes puts Podcasts in the Music list.
    A helpful suggestion from other Discussion users has been to create a Smart Playlist with the exception of "Podcast" in Genre.
    ITunes should introduce a fix for this but in the meanwhile the workaround helps.
    However this is now a growing problem as the exception now needs to include "Podcasting", "Public Radio", "Professional", "TV & Film" & "Audiobook". No doubt this will increase as Podcasters add new Genres . . .

    The number indicates how many podcast episodes have not been played.
    Click on the triangle shape next to podcast category. This will expand list to show the name/s of podcasts youa re subscribed to. Beside each of the name/s will be a number also, indicating the number of unplayed episodes for that podcast. The podcast list can be expanded by clicking on the triangle next to it's title. The expanded podcst list will show all episodes you have or that are available for that podcast. The blue dot next to the episode is another indication that the episode has not been played.
    When or if you got other podcasts, this can be useful for finding unplayed episodes. Note, unplayed changes when you start play, playcount changes when play of track completes.

  • ITouch iTunes and Podcasts

    Does anyone know how to best manually manage podcasts and songs on the iTouch so that one can completely avoid the cloud and auto syncing.  I had no problem doing this with the old OS but since the recent upgrades every time I set one preference to not show anything in the cloud, or try to manage songs and podcasts manually, I either then can't delete music, or music on the iTouch does not show up when viewing it in iTunes, or podcasts get repeatedly copied, etc.  Is there a really good reference page to do things totally manually?

    Do y have the Apple Podcast app?

  • ITunes w/ podcast subscription capabilites for Mac OS 10.2.4?

    I really want to be able to subscribe to podcasts, but don't have system requirements for the newest version of iTunes. Is there an earlier version of iTunes for Mac OS 10.2.4 that allows one to subscribe to a podcast?

    I don't remember at which iTunes version podcasting was introduced.
    You could download an iTunes version here:
    http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
    and try if it works.
    But why not update the system software to 10.2.8?
    Is there a specific reason why you did not update?
    Do you have software that doesn't run on 10.2.8?
    10.2.8 has proven to be a very stable system and you can easily update from 10.2.4 to 10.2.8 using the Combo Update.
    It is available here:

    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to auto-download app update in iTunes, like podcasts can do?

    Is it possible to auto-download apps in iTunes, like podcasts can do?
    I wish I could set app updates, in iTunes, to auto-download every hour when available just like my podcasts do. Am I overlooking some way to do this or is this really a wish-list feature?

    It is not possible, I assume due to certain apps charging for updates (as will be the likely case for sat-nav map updates etc). This is why iTunes requests your password for confirmation that you want to install the update, whether it is free or chargeable.
    What I would like to see is the option to reject an update! That way, if you don't want to pay to update an app, you can remove the notification spot on your iPhone and in iTunes!

  • ITunes Store Podcast Approuved Notification LOST

    Hello,
    I lost the iTunes Store Podcast Approuved Notification. I submitted an RSS feed via iTunes Store and I will put the responded iTunes link : http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=...
    Additionnaly, I don't find my podcast in the iTunes Store...so strange...
    How can I get the iTunes pocast URL again ?
    Thanks

    Your podcast appears to consist of mixes of Michael Jackson and perhaps other records (I haven't examined the episodes in any detail), presumably mostly commercially issued tracks.
    If you have not obtained either permission in writing from the copyright owners, or a podcasting licence from a recognized authority, then you are in breach of copyright and that would be sufficient reason for your podcast to be removed (they may only just have woken up to it). I have to say that when they reject a podcast for reasons of content they really ought to give an indication that this is why.
    If you have in fact cleared the material for use in your podcast then you would have to make this clear to Apple.
    If you are able to resubmit and get approval, and are able to retain the same feed URL, then your subscribers shouldn't be affected.

  • Itunes Widget Podcast Playlist Not Finding My Podcast

    However, when I click on the add/edit button in the setup, it is not finding my podcast.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm afraid I can't advise on this. You may do better to ask in the iTunes forum and I'll ask the Hosts to move this thread there.
