ITunes Podcast -- iTunes U Collection?

Is it possible to create an RSS-driven Collection from one of my institution's iTunes store podcasts? We'd like to have the same items appearing in both. Am I missing an obvious way of doing this in PSM?
Thanks!

I just got the final details from the mothership. Here they are:

Inconsistent sorting of "A/An" & "The" for podcasts/iTunes U

I love my apple TV version 1 and 2 but something really bothers me about Apple TV 2. It disregards "A" and "The" for songs, audibooks, & movie titles but NOT when alphabetizing podcasts & iTunes U.
This is inconsistent and confusing because items are listed differently than in iTunes and on the iPad. As a literature professor, I like classifying audio poetry collections as "Podcast" and also transferring my DVD educational content (Teaching Company audio and videos) as "iTunes U" but I find the irregular and capricious alphabetizing off-putting and disconcerting. I hope there is a fix provided in a future update or at least a settings option.
I will definitely be getting the new apple TV if/when it is released, and I hope this is resolved or addressed... Pretty Please!

I have the same issue. Need Help, too!

ITunes Podcast Site Manager vs. iTunes U Public Site Manager

The link for help files for the iTunes Podcast Site Manager goes to "Using iTunes U Public Site Manager". There are significant differences between these two iTunes administration sites. I need help for iTunes Podcast Site Manager, not iTunes U Public Site Manager.
Specifically I need to set media types for our shows, and since a change to the iTunes Podcast Site Manager interface, I've not figured out how to do it. The instructions (from "Using iTunes U Public Site Manager") say you do it on the Collections tab. There is no "Collections" tab at the iTunes Podcast Site Manager.
Anyone know how I set media types in the iTunes Podcast Site Manager?
thanks - john

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this: it doesn't appear to be relevant to ordinary podcasts. Is this an iTunes-U matter? - perhaps that forum would help.

How do I move my iTunes podcast subscriptions to a new computer?

I have a Dell computer running Windows XP.
I just purchased an Inspiron laptop running Vista and want to move my podcast subscriptions (I have a lot of them) to the new installation of iTunes on the laptop.
I cannot find any instructions on how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. - Love my iPhone!

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. On a PC the default location is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

HT1399 As I have added pocast shows to my itunes podcast list it is in a random order. How do I alphabetize my list of podcasts. Can I manually arrange them in an order of my choosing. Thanks

As I have added podcast subscriptions to my itunes podcast list on the far left menu window the list is in a random order. How do I aphabetize the podcast list ? Can I arrange them manually ?

I have about 500 bookmarks .. and they are arranged within 60 folders. I would like to see them in chronological order as before, because now to find a bookmark is a hard task.
thanks for your suggestion, anyway.

Is it possible to change the URL of an iTunes Podcast page itself (NOT the Feed URL)?

My company has an usual question:
While keeping all the individual podcasts the same, and the subject matter of the whole podcast series the same, my company would like to change the URL that Apple iTunes has assigned us. Is this possible, and how can it be done?
Again, I am talking about the URL that Apple iTunes has assigned us. The one that begins:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/career-...
We are having a small change in marketing emphasis. So my company wants to change one of the dashed English words in the URL, after:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/
These English words were based on the original title of our podcast. The original title of our podcast has changed slightly, with no problem. Now my company just wants to change the URL assigned to us by Apple.
Let me emphasize: There is no purpose of misdirection, evasion, or deceit here -- not in the slightest. My company is simply taking a different marketing angle. Our category is staying the same. The podcasts themselves are staying the same. My company would just like to update the URL assigned to us by Apple to reflect our new podcast series name.
ALSO:
We are a category-leading, very popular podcast. If we do change our iTunes podcast URL, we do not at all want to jeopardize our leading status in our podcast subject category. We want all our download stats to move with us over to the new URL. This is extremely important to us.
AND FURTHER:
If we do change our iTunes podcast URL, we want all our listeners to automatically find us at the new URL. We don't want any of them to lose their subscription because we changed our URL.
So in summary:
1. CAN we change our podcast URL (the one assigned to us by iTunes)?
2. Can we change the URL, but still keep our category-leading position and stats, exaclty as they are now? That is, will our old download stats move with us to the new URL, so we can retain our category-leading position?
3. Will podcast listeners going to the old URL automatically be forwarded to the new URL? Might any of our current listeners become unsubscribed as a result of the URL change?
I know this is an unusual, complicated, and multi-part question. I am looking for definitive, authoritative answers to all these questions.
Thank you very much for your help!!
David

You can omit the title altogether in the URL (together with the succeeding slash, of course). For example, my own podcast URL in the Store is
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sound-of-78s/id166389425?mt=2
but this works perfectly well:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id166389425
Indeed you can even put your own title:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/any_old_title/id166389425
So it's as simple as that!

ITunes' podcasts no longer download (?)

iTunes' podcast downloads had for the most part been downloading fine until the partition that they had been on was deleted and I had to recreate the iTunes folder on that partition from a backup.
When booting from my primary drive using 10.3.9 I can no longer manually, or automatically, download podcasts. And oddly, even podcasts that exist on that partition will not even open in iTunes.
Yet... when I boot from 10.4.9 on a secondary drive which shares the same recreated partition with my iTunes folder (with the podcasts on it) I can download podcasts manually and automatically and it will play all of them without problems.
Common sense would simply be to delete the com.apple.iTunes.plist and maybe even the com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist files. (Which I did.) But this didn't work even though I did this with iTunes inactive and rebooted. So... it would seem that the next step would be to reinstall iTunes. So I deleted both the iTunes app and the preference files again and rebooted. Still my podcasts won't either manually download or automatically download and the really strange thing is that the ones that were downloaded while booted from 10.4.9 will not play when booted from 10.3.9.
I then resubscribed to the broadcasts (i.e. podcasts) and though the available podcast lists appear for each broadcast with "Get" next to each... when I click on them they won't download and I get the icon at the far left showing there is a problem.
Though this might be a prebind problem for the last issue... I don't see how that would affect iTunes not being capable of downloading podcasts from 10.3.9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've been listening to iTunes' podcasts for years without this problem so I can only imagine that it must have something to do with the fact that the partition had to be recreated (though I can't see how that fact would affect iTunes in this way when I DIRECTLY drop the podcast files on to the iTunes app icon... and they still will not play. This would bypass any prebind problem it would seem).
Thanks for reading this lengthy post.
Systems 10.3.9 and 10.4.9 on separate internal drives in the same box using iTunes 7.01 (7). Though I had been using iTunes 6.05 with 10.3.9 before this problem occurred. But when I couldn't solve the problem I upgraded to 7.01 with 10.3.9 -- since it was working with 10.4.9 I thought I'd give it a try -- but even that didn't solve the problem.)
RonL
Mac OS X (10.3.9) 10.3.9 and podcasts don't work, but 10.4.9 and podcasts do work

It appears that I solved the problem. (I like to post my solutions so as to both not waste peoples time and so that if this ever happens to someone else it might help.)
My iTunes alias of the iTunes folder that is by default placed in the Music folder (i.e. ~/Music/iTunes) was broken after the partition where I had moved it was recreated.
Or... since I also forced a re-prebinding (not a simple 'update prebinding') it may have been this since my music in the same folder (on the recreated iTunes folder on the recreated partition) was playing fine and from 10.4.9 the podcasts played fine.
So it may have been both... but anyway... the podcasts are working fine again.

Need an "iTunes podcast and Feedburner - Idiot's Guide" Any Advice??

I currently have a podcast (iTunes Store link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=211068389 )
That I would like to track activity and subscribers. I understand that FeedBurner seems to be the popular choice and I would like to go with it. Now the problem is I've scoured that site and I cannot seem to find a definitive "walk-through" that describes the process. I've also googled this topic and cannot seem to find a text I understand (I figured this whole podcasting out on my own after a LOT of headaches and foul-ups).
Does anyone know of a solid walk-through description of how to redirect the podcast feed through FeedBurner and make sure that iTunes still allows subscriptions, updates, etc...
I just don't want to goof up along the way and inadvertantly take down my podcast in the process.
Thanks!!

How to upload podcasts which are not in the iTunes podcast library?

or how to create a playlist of podcasts?
I have some podcasts as mp3 files I'd like to upload. These podcasts are not in the Itunes podcast library. I downloaded them from another source. What I do not understand is why iTunes makes a difference between podcast mp3 files and music mp3 files. If I put my podcasts into a playlist and try to synchronise the playlist with iPhone, the files are not uploaded. Actually I do not see the playlist listed in the page "Music" of my device "iPhone".
Any ideas?

I've usually found using outer joins to be very efficient in performing NOT IN/NOT EXIST type operations.
WITH t1 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 1 begin_no, 10 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 10 begin_no, 20 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 20 begin_no, 30 end_no FROM dual
   , t2 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 21 no FROM dual
SELECT t2.*
FROM t2
     , t1
WHERE t1.type (+)= t2.type
   AND t2.no BETWEEN t1.begin_no(+) AND t1.end_no(+)
   AND t1.type IS NULL;
output is:
TYPE     NO
200     21
200     6
200     5
300     11
300     6
300     5
100     21
100     11

ITunes stops updating podcasts / iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?

Hi,
My iTunes is set to automatically update podcasts and keep the last five episodes of each podcast.
However, iTunes appears to stop updating podcasts after several (five?) unwatched episodes and gives me an exclamation mark in the podcast overview. Clicking on that, I get the message: "iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?"
This is not what I intend... and not what I told iTunes to do... (at least this my reading of the below settings)
This stopping is rather less then ideal: (1) if I am going away for two weeks, which I often do, I would still like to have the last five days of news, not the last five days of news back from the date I left, (2) I need to click update for approx. 20 podcast on regular basis, (3) my iPhone is synced to iTunes as soon as I come home, if iTunes does not have the podcasts downloaded, they are not copied over to the iPhone, and the iPhone will attempt to download the episodes via 3G next time I play the podcast on the go, (4) I am mainly using iTunes functions, such as smart playlists and podcasts, through another app (Plex, a fullscreen media player) and it is a pain to have to go to iTunes to manually do things. That is why this bothering me...
How can I get iTunes to behave as intended? (From reading through old posts I know that there is a Doug script adressing this problem, which I have just set up, but I would prefer to use internal settings if possible... maybe I am just missing a setting)
Thank you for your ideas!

Thank you for the response, Roger!
OK, that's how it is then.
The iTunes podcasts settings should be reworded in that case because it suggest something different from what it does. And, of course, it would be ideal for Apple to make this more flexible and allow users to set up their podcast downloads in their way and not be so motherly (c'mon, Apple, your users are not as dumb as you think, and they have uncapped Internet connections these days anyway)...
Btw., for anyone interested, this is external script I am using now:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=updateexpiredpodcasts
Including the "cron job" setup here:
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2011/12/updated-update-expired-podcasts-v2-2-and-l aunchd-project/
Cannot tell how well it works because I have just set it up, other members of the forum say it works for them...
If anyone knows of in-app solutions, please share...

Does not appear in my itunes podcast

A few days ago I asked Apple that eliminated my iTunes podcast to change the RSS feed on the other, but now that I have removed will not let me upload a new feed and tells me has already been sent. How I can fix this?

You will need to change the title slightly. You can always change it back afterwards, assuming that the method you are using to create your podcast does not change the feed URL when you do this.

Podcast Videocast/ Audio only not showing up in itunes podcast feed

Hi Everyone, I work on a site called Truthdig and we can't get our latest audio (mp3) only podcast to show up in our itunes podcast feed, latest podcast episodes have been video. is this what is causing the problem? Could it be something else? Advice? Wisdom? Please help.

FYI, your link to your podcast in iTunes is wrong, it should be
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=299750047
Your feed validates, and I can't see anything wrong with it. Plainly the iTunes Store is failing to pick it up: it's been known for the Store not to be happy with feed URLs with a '?' in them, but presumably you haven't changed the feed URL since the original episode?
I can only suggest you approach Support:

(email link at the bottom of the page).
