Itunes podcast conversion to iphone

I downloaded a bunch of Bernina podcasts and then synced them to my iphone. Itunes tells me that
some of them aren't in a format for the iphone and didn't sync. So I selected one of them and clicked
on the itunes option to make it available for the iphone, and it took quite awhile for the conversion to occur as I watched it's status bar. However, it still doesn't sync to iphone. I would have expected to
see two files--one for itunes on an imac and the other for the iphone. I did check the Get Info on one of the files and it looks like all of the files that don't sync have video dimensions of 640 x 480 or greater. I expected that the itunes "conversion" option would have made it smaller. So how does this itunes conversion option work and under what circumstances (like mine, maybe) won't it work? Thanks.....

Copy your itunes media libary from your old computer and place it to your new computer.

  • ITunes Podcasts not showing iPhone 4 list correctly

    I download The Mike OMeara Show podcast everyday to iTunes on my Win7 laptop everyday.  I then sync the podcast with my iPhone 4.  However, when I look at the iPhone Podcast in iTunes, it does not show all the podcasts that the iPhone actually has.  Any ideas on correcting this?  It is not a big problem, the iPhone shows the right available podcasts.  However, it is annoying.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try a different USB port.

  • HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

    I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts.  I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

  • How can I get iTunes to not show multiples of the same podcasts in my iPhone?

    Not all, but some have the same episdoe multiple times. Every sync seems to add another one of them. This happens, through iTunes, in my iPhone 5. In iTunes, I show that I have 69 unplayed podcasts. When I sync, I can see it got to 68 for my phone (likely one is in the cloud), but then it flashes and now it shows 113. When I look at the unplayed podcasts, I show that some of them have as many as 17 of the same episode in my phone. When I go to my phone's podcast app, I see it once.
    It doesn't happen to all episodes, and I can't find anything in common between those that it does happen to. The newest update to the podcast app and itunes brought back some features that have been missing for over a year, but this is getting weird.
    iTunes 11.2.1 (1)
    IOS 7.1.1

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not  delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

    I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

    This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS7. Now my podcasts I have added to ITunes and synced with iPhone do not open. When I touch the screen like in the old iOS6, nothing happens.

    Hello irish3kr,
    You may need to download and install the Podcasts app.

  • Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

    Hi,
    Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
    Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

    i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
    i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
    sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

    Dear Roger,
    Another problem is popping up.
    After I followed your advise the episodes immediately showed up in Itunes.

    After waking up this morning, not only the last added episode but also the 4th and 1st dissapreared.
    Could you please have a look again at the posterous and feedburner pages.
    There are the same as in my first post:

  • While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer.

    While listening to a podcast on my iPhone I can e-mail the podcast ID to share it with someone else. The email contains the url for the specific podcast. So you would assume that you could put that url into iTunes and it would take you to the podcast. This used to work but no longer. Months ago when I would e-mail myself the url all I had to do was click on the link in the e-mail and it took me right to the specific podcast in iTunes. Now it only opens iTunes and I can't figure out how to find the specific one. What good is the e-mail tab on the iPhone if it doesn't connect you to the podcast you sent?

    Same here. I just posted a question too.

  • Podcasts played on iPhone don't sync with iTunes on my Mac

    Sometimes my played podcasts on my iPhone do sync to iTunes, sometimes the podcast on iTunes is still marked as new and transfers back to my iPhone as unplayed.
    What are the actual steps I need to take to ensure that my played podcasts are transferring to my iTunes as played with a Last Played date?

    I haven't noticed the issue with music, but with podcasts it is very noticable and annoying.  Basically, it seems as if the iPhone is sending no information during the synch.  Podcasts I have listened to and have been automatically deleted are re-added as soon as I synch.  Has anyone tried unchecking the synch podcasts button on iTunes?  I'm tempted to try it and see if the podcast app handles everything solo.

  • All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

    I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
    I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
    I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
    Has anyone else experience this?
    Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Best wishes

  • ITunes Podcast iPhone bugs?

    1. Does anyone know how to transfer specific podcast track to iPhone?
    2. I think I found a bug in iTunes. I have 4 podcast tracks (#1,2,3,4) the #1 is already played while the rest are not. In the podcast sync setting, the "3 most recent unplayed" will transfer track #2,3,4 to iPhone while setting "3 least recent unplayed" transfer tracks #1,2,3. But track #1 is already played why it is still being transferred?
    3. Another annoying thing is that iTunes doesn't care about podcast track #. If you have track #1...10 that are encoded at different time order, iTunes will only sort tracks based on date, not the track # defined in the tag. Let's say if re-encode #3 then iTunes will think it is the most recent track. Any cure to this?

    If, when your iPhone is plugged in, you click on your iPhone in iTunes. You'll see the main screen, click on the podcast tab. You can select what you want it to sync. By clicking on the Sync _____ episode button, you get a number of options to select. Play with those and see if they meet your needs.
