ITunes Podcast Library Duplication

I have a Mac OSX 10.8.5, which has two separate iTunes libraries.
Since the installation of iTunes 11.1.1, new podcasts have appeared on each lujbarary, so that they are bnoth exactly the same.
If I delete a podcast from one libarary it disappears from the other one! Very frustrating.....
Today I also had some old podcasts disappear from one of the libararies, a probelm which I understand others have suffered from.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I had the same problem. I went into my applications folder, changed the permissions for iTunes to 'read and write' and then deleted it. I then took the previous version which I had backed up in Time machine (11.2.2 in my case) and dragged that into the folder. It works like normal.

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 PODCAST Library wiped out

Several times when I started ITUNES it gives me a message about my Library being unreadable (not the exact words) then completes power up. All my music is ok but the podcasts in my library have all been erased. It has saved them in a newly generated PODCAST restored playlist but all the entries in the Library podcast's are gone so I have to resubscribe to all the podcasts I desire. Any ideas?

hsg,
You took a wrong turn somewhere. This is the Pages discussion group. You want to post your question in the iTunes group.

Syncing Two devices to one iTunes Podcast Library

I use iTunes on my MacBook as the central hub for subscribing to and managing my podcasts, then selectively sync different podcasts to two different devices. Now, with iOS7 on one of those devices, I can't play the podcasts through Music anymore, and have had to start using the awful Podcasts app on that device. Things were not syncing properly, and when I unsubscribed something on that device, it also unsubscribed the podcast on my MacBook. All I want is for the device to contain the same podcasts as my MacBook, not try to download podcasts on its own, not say things are unplayable if there are more than five episodes backed up, not to play podcasts in the wrong order as a result of these weird backlog issue, and change nothing in iTunes when it syncs. Actually what I really want is for it to work through Music again so I can delete this pointless app that just blew away a good chunk of the podcasts on my MacBook because I was trying to get rid of podcasts from the phone that were not checked in the "Only sync episodes of selected podcasts" screen in iTunes.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed, here:

Strange 'Unknown Album' listings in ATV Podcasts library

Hello,
I'm new to the Apple TV and have just come across this strange problem of 'Unknown Album' listings in my ATV Podcasts library.
I converted four TV programmes to .m4v and moved them first into my iTunes Movies folder on my iMac. Only my Photos are 'synced'- the other library stuff is streamed to my ATV.
I later tagged the four converted TV Programmes in the iTunes Get Info/Video Kind box as TV Shows, and discovered that this created the 'TV Shows' folder in my iTunes Library and this folder now contained the four TV programmes. They also appeared under 'TV Shows' on my Apple TV and play fine. They no longer appear in the ATV's Movies listing.
However I also discovered that I now have four 'Unknown Albums' in my ATV Podcasts library, and these are the same four TV shows referred to above, which can also be played from the ATV Podcast library. These 'Unknown Albums' are not in my iTunes Podcast library. So I can't delete them, and I don't know how they got there in the first place.
Does anyone know what I've done wrong here, and how I can fix it?
Thanks.

I don't think it has anything to do with the way they were converted. I used Handbrake for some and VisualHub for others. I only mentioned the conversion to give as complete a background to the issue as possible.
Maybe it has something to do with how they were imported into iTunes, or what I did/didn't do while tagging them with 'Get Info'. I'm not a great fan of iTunes, but not too familiar with it either. But the content appears and plays fine in iTunes. Only ATV shows these ghostly 'Unknown Albums'.

Podcasts Dumped Randomly Into My Podcasts Library When Importing.

My Podcasts are neatly organized into sub-folders under the Podcasts folder on my hard drive. Anyway, I went into iTunes, and found that my Podcasts had disappeared. So, I went to File/Add Folder to Library. When I did this, the Podcasts were dumped into my iTunes Podcast library all over the place in a disorderly fashion. So much for the orderly folders. Can someone please tell me what is going on here ?
PS It's worth mentioning that before they disappeared from the iTunes library, they were in the same neat and orderly folders as on my hard drive. I have no idea why they decided to disappear.
PPS. I use iTunes 10.5 on Windows 7.

iTunes>edit>preferences>advanced>importing tab, the box that states "retrieve CD track names from the internet" must be checked, so iTunes can connect with CDDB to look up the information for the CD you are trying to import.
As a new poster in the forums, I need to make a suggestion. You have posted in the Mac forum when your issue should really have been posted in the Windows forum. This is probably why no one has responded to you.

ITunes freezes when i try to open Podcasts library

Every time i click on Podcasts library, the app freezes!

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

Can I transfer a podcast library from a Nano to iTunes?

My library on my computer appeared to have been corrupted and I have wiped out the podcast library on my iPad. My Nano is still clean and I seem to have iTunes working again. Is it possible to transfer saved podcasts from the Nano back into the library on the computer?

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. File>Devies>Transfer Purchases

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

In iTunes, podcasts are sorted in the library alphabetically. In Version 1.2.1, there is no order and there are duplicates. Can you sort the library? and how do you remove duplicates of the same podcast (not episode)?

What to move mp3 from itunes library to podcast library.

Is there a way in which I can move a podcast I downloaded independently and not through the itunes store to the podcast library in itunes?
Thanks.

Interested in this as well. I downloaded podcasts from a website and they showed up in iTunes as regular songs/tracks. I'd really like to be able to have them appear in the Podcasts section instead of with my other songs.
+(hint hint Apple, you have that item in Info>Options to mark items either Music or Audiobook. a Podcast item would be nice for categorization when we get podcasts that aren't in the iTMS.)+

How can I move an mp3 podcast from music to podcast library?

I am downloading archived podcasts manually and when I import them into iTunes they show up in my music list. How can I get them into my podcast library?

Right-click the track(s), Get Info, go to the Options tab and set "Media Kind" to "Audiobook."

Cannot see BOTH synched library AND iTunes Match library at the same time

I ran iTunes Match on my library of MP3 files and hit the maximum allowed 25,000 song limit in my paid iTunes Match account. Then I created a new version of my local/PC iTunes library with those 25,000 MP3 songs removed, and synchronized it with my iPhone 4s running IOS7 and iTunes Match turned OFF. So far so good.
So now I theoretically have no duplication between my 25,000 song iTunes Match library and my local iTunes library that resides on my PC.
But even though I have the "Show All Music" setting on the phone turned on, the iTunes Match songs don't appear on my iPhone until I also turn the iTunes Match setting on. But as soon as I do that, all of the songs I synched from my local iTunes library on my PC completely disappear- having been completely replaced by my iTunes Match library. If I then turn the iTunes Match setting off again (while still leaving "Show All Music on"), the iTunes Match songs also disappear, leaving my iPhone music library completely empty. Have I misunderstood the meaning of the "Show All Music" setting, or is something malfunctioning?
My question is: How can I make ALL of my songs (both the ones I have previously captured in ITunes Match AND the ones I synched with my PC via iTunes) appear on my iPhone at the same time? This scenario seemed to be working just fine under IOS6 on the same iPhone.

I had a somewhat similar experience. When I enabled paid iTunes Match on my iPhone 5, iOS7, all of my locally-stored songs on the iPhone disappeared and remained gone even after I disabled iTunes Match on the iPhone.
A chat session with Apple support revealed that iTunes Match will in fact supersede any synched content on the iPhone. The suggestion from Apple support was to download on the phone all the previously-synched content via iTunes Match wireless connection. Of course, that would take hours if not days. And that crazy workaround won't help you because you want songs other than what you have in the Cloud.
It appears that various members of this forum have not had this same experience. I'm not sure what's going on here. Usually with Apple's tight control of hardware and software these anomalies are avoided.
And I didn't really need iTunes Match except I wanted commercial-free iTunes Radio (which I think is great, by the way). At least for now, commercial-free radio (with a paid subscription) can be achieved only by enabling all of the iTunes Match features. I'm not sure why Apple requires this bundling unless its part of a general push to a streaming model for everything (more revenue opportunities) as opposed to supporting local storage.
