ITunes refuses to unsubscribe

This may seem strange, but I am subscribed to a Podcast that I didn't knowlingly subscribe to, and every time I unsubscribe and delete the episode, it keeps coming back!
This is really strange, I've checked on Google, its not subscribed on my phone, in fact I'm not subscribed to anything on my phone because I use iTunes for all my Podcasts, but this annoying thing keeps coming back.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to what I'm doing wrong please - I have unsubscribed to other Podcasts, but never had this problem before.
Many thanks in advance..

hi Jack!
hmmmmm. just checking. can WMP import and play this file? if so, can you convert it to another file format in WMP, like AIFF? if so, will itunes accept the file when it is in that format?
(a clunky workaround ... even if it works)
love, b

  • ID3 tags and itunes refusing to add music to library

    As my music collection is growing, I decided to organize it a bit more and fill in the different ID3 tags in windows.
    I have emptied my itunes library before I did all this, and after changing the ID3 tags I added the different albums back to itunes.
    However, for some reason itunes does not want to import several albums anymore, while they do play in windows media player. Furthermore, itunes refuses in many cases to make use of the new ID3 tags I made. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, itunes seems to remember my settings and the ID3 tags the different MP3s had before.
    Anyone a clue what is happening here? Has it someting to do with the new version of itunes, or is it something else?
    ciao, Gregorius

    Hey, first of all, thanks for your help, but I'm still in problems.
    I have noticed that itunes imports the music files before I alter the ID3 tags (from backup files). However, as soon as I try to add the same file to my itunes library after I have edited the ID3 file (via windows itself), itunes does not add the file to its library anymore. This is happening to a considerable amount of my music. When I try to play the same files in windows mediaplayer, they play without a problem, so I guess the problem is with itunes.
    Somebody can please help me out, because I like to be in control of my music, and not itunes,
    adios Gregorius

  • ITunes refuses to recognize my iPhone 4.

    iTunes refuses to recognize my iPhone 4 I have performed all the troublshooting suggestions including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several time, as well as factory rebooting and restoring my phone and it still refuses to recognize it. Is there anything more I can do to fix this on my end? Or is this a problem on Apple's end? Both my phone and iTunes are up to date.

    Hi karwilson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, this article may help:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

  • ITunes refuses to transfer apps from iPhone 4

    iTunes refuses to transfer my apps from my iPhone 4 to the comp. It transfered the songs no problem but whenever i try to transfer the apps it goes though this "speed" transfer process. It takes like 30 sec or less to "transfer" all my apps into my itunes. Ive tried various options like changing out cords and using different ports. I deleted the idevice info in the program data folder etc, etc. Yet nothing works. Im using Win 7 and iOS 4.3.5.

  • Itunes refuses to import one file

    Itunes refuses to import one file. This file is unprotected, mp3 audio file of 72.3MG which happens to be a 'teach youself spanish' CD downloaded from Win/MX. As far as I can see thsi file does not differ from other files which itunes lets me import, apart perhaps from its length (it is over two hours long). itunes produces no message to explain why it will not import the file and so i am perplexed...

  • Itunes refuses to import some mp3 files.

    Hi,
    Can someone please advise. I have an album of MP3 tracks. For some reason Itunes refuses to import all but 2 of the songs on the ablum. I have the files on the hard drive in my music folder which should be auto sync to Itunes. This does not happen with these mp3's. Also if I try to do it manually nothing happens. Any suggestions?
    P.s I am using the latest version of Itunes and the MP3's play fine with media player etc.

    Yeah, what stubchain said. If they play in WMP, then you've run into the bug where iTUnes can't read the MP3 tags.
    iTunes has problems with v2.4 ID3 tags.
    http://www.id3.org/iTunes
    iTunes also has a problem with v2.2 tags and artwork/beats per minutes tags on the same song.
    Try setting them to v1 in another program and then see if iTunes can read them.
    Then once iTnues can read tehm, I would convert them to v2.3 tags, which seem to be the most stable & have the best features.

  • ITunes refuses to quit on shutdown

    I am using iTunes 6.0.4(3) on a 20" iMac Power G5 OS X 10.4.5 with three AirPort Express units connected to an existing wireless Network.
    If iTunes is open and I shutdown, iTunes cancels shutdown and then refuses to quit (it quits and then instantly reloads). Eventually, after 3 or 4 shutdown attempts it does shutdown.
    Disconnecting the Airport Express units appears to make no difference. However, if I quit iTunes before shutting down everything is fine.
    Just annoying - any idea?
    Thanks.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    No help here - just wanting to commiserate. (And hopefully subscribe to an answer.)
    My iTunes refuses to quit - but it also refuses to do anything else. I've got the spinning rainbow wheel. Indefinitely. This time it completely stopped in the middle of playing a cd I was importing, without warning.
    Last time I had to force shut down my iMac as iTunes would not respond to anything whatsoever.
    Could somebody give me an idea of how to cure this?

  • ITunes refuses to 'see' external drive

    All my tunes are on an external LaCie 120GB mobile HDD as they have been for a couple of years and all has worked well. Now for some reason iTunes refuses to 'see' the iTunes Folder on this drive it doesn't even seem to see the drive at all. The drive is fine as I can double click a tune from it from the finder and it plays it in iTunes ok.
    iTunes also recognises an interacts properly with my wife's iPod.
    I have checked and rechecked that the iTunes/Prefs/advanced/iTunes music folder location is set to the HDD folder.
    Is this a problem with the latest iTunes version?

    I have stopped, started, uninstalled, reinstalled, used msconfig to stop all other processes, changed drive letter, shut down, reboot, restart with IPot connected, restart with IPot disconnected... nothing on the Apple page has been of any help. Could it be something to do with low power USB v/s high power USB? All thought I don't buy that either. My wife has an IBM T42 and it works no problems, mine IBM T43, does not work. Other USB devises do work on my T43??? Hense the point of this thread.

  • ITunes refuses to recognize current iPod software

    Hi all,
    I had upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (7.1), but after a few weeks, it stopped loading completely. Instead, it began freezing 3/4 way through updating the library. I assume that during the upgrade, the iPod firmware was also upgraded.
    I wasn't able to work my way around it, so I uninstalled ver. 7 and re-installed ver 6. Since then, iTunes opens perfectly (a relief).
    Problem: iTunes refuses to recognize my iPod now, saying:
    "The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.0 or later."
    Obviously, I was having trouble with 7.1 so that's not an option I'd like to explore. Suggestions would be appreciated.

    i have a 3rd generation ipod and my girlfriend has a 2G nano, both of which stopped being recognized by itunes immediately after i installed itunes 7.0.2 (shocking). After some research and playing around i did find a workaround. Plug your ipod in and wait for "Do Not Disconnect". Right click on My Computer and select manage. On the left hand side towards the bottom select Disk Management. Next you should see the name of your ipod in the middle section, right click on it and select Change Drive Letter and Path. Next Click the Add button and choose a drive letter not being used by your computer (Q usually is available) and press OK. Close the Computer Management window and open itunes, you should see you ipod and should be able to update it.
    As far as I can tell, you have to do this each time you plug you ipod in, but it does work.
    Good Luck!

    30G Video iPod   Windows XP  

    I am having the exact same problem, if it is of any comfort. I have an 80GB Classic and a 512MB Shuffle (gumstick variety) and just this evening, when I plug either of them into the USB port, my Mac (G5) recognizes the iPod for a brief moment but then, a message appears saying that (I paraphrase) "an iPod has been plugged in but it cannot be identified properly. Please disconnect and try again." I do try again, and again, but nothing changes. The iPod's icon appears briefly on the desktop, as it should, but quickly vanishes as the error message pops up.
    I tried resetting my larger iPod, per Apple's instructions, but that has not helped. I have restarted the computer twice, and no luck. I have just updated iTunes to the latest version; nothing.
    The larger of these iPods did connect just fine, it turns out, to an iMac in the other room.
    I actually had this larger iPod connected to my computer just this morning, updating its contents with some new podcasts. Ever since, and even now, it plays music and looks fine; it just won't connect.

  • ITunes refuses to import Amazon MP3 album, claims permissions won't allow me. What?

    I download through Amazon MP3.
    I downloaded Muse's album and imported that into iTunes just fine, but for whatever reason, when I downloaded the Black Keys album El Camino it refuses to play ball.
    I get "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this."
    Now, I did a permissions repair with Onyx, and even checked all the folders to make sure the permissions wasn't weirdly set, but nothing is wrong with those folders. They're not locked at all.
    I can play the song files when I press space bar or even in things like VLC, but iTunes refuses to play ball for some reason. Is this an iTunes problem or Amazon? And if you could possibly point me to a forum post that is this exact problem I'd love you forever as I'm about to go on a cross-country road trip and would really love to play some Black Keys.

    That's a workaround, but it doesn't really solve the mystery.  Ordinarily, when you add music to your library, iTunes will create a directory with the Artist name and a subdirectory with the Album name.  My guess is there's something weird about one of these fields, perhaps an unprintable character that you can't see, and when it tries to create the directories it fails (maybe I was too hasty in not blaming Amazon!).  It might even be one of the individual song names. 
    If you're happy with this solution, fine, but if you want to track it down, I'd try this;
    - select all the songs, do (right-click->get info) 
    - Delete and reenter the Artist and Album names.  Make sure you clear the whole field
        and don't use cut and paste.
    - reenable the copy and manage options
      - Try dragging the songs in again.
      - If that doesn't work, try dragging one at a time to see if a particular song is causing the problem.
      - If that's the case, check the fields for that song, and maybe reenter the title.
    Note, if this works, you'll end up with two copies of everything, and you'll have to delete the one that wasn't copied. 
    In any event, I'd reenable the copy and manage options, so future music will be correctly copied.

  • ITunes refuses to let me drag tracks in or out of or within playlists

    With no pattern, just nasty surprises, iTunes refuses to let me drag tracks in or out of or within playlists.
    I have searched the Apple Support Communities and elsewhere and found no solutions which work.
    It's nothing to do with Wacom - I don't have one. It's nothing to do with setting iTunes to manual sorting. It's not set to shuffle or repeat. It's just an ordinary playlist. It's not a folder nor a Smart playlist.
    On one occasion I phoned Apple and a nice man told me how to display the Library (but it's now hidden again) and delete an iTunes preference file.  This solved the problem for a while. But I have forgotten how to display the Library again and can't remember the name of the preference file to delete.
    Anyway, the problem should have been fixed by now we are at V 10.6.3
    If there is no solution then I am stuck with copy and paste - a very unsatisfactory system when I am playing a playlist live.

    Found the answer myself (from a tip in another thread):
    You have to reboot both your Mac and your iPhone...

  • Itunes refuses to import certain tracks

    Hello everyone. ill cut to the chase:
    iTunes refuses to import random songs in my collection that it used to play before.
    I moved my music off of an external and no matter what i try be it adding the tracks to the "automaticly add to itunes" dragging the songs onto itunes going through the menu and adding them doesnt work either.
    the songs play while im in finder. i have the latest updates for a while now so i doubt thats it.
    @_@ im stumped....looked up a few times in google and no solutions for mac at the moment after going through several sites. any help would be appreciated

    .mp3 checked the files myself using command + i
    yes they play in quick time
    no message it jsut does nothing lol
    cant add the tracks to a playlist because i cant get them into itunes.
    normally when i import a song it says "copying randomsong1" and then it adds an entry into the "recently added" smart playlist i tried making a copy of the song changing the name and seeing if that did anything and got the same result. NOTHING happens...

  • Itunes refuses to let ipod sync, says "Mobile Device Service is not started

    So for some reason my iTunes refuses to sync. Itunes announces it that there is something wrong with syncing, something about "bonjour being disabled" and then it asks if I would like itunes to fix the problem. I hit yes. Itunes then "fixes" the problem, by ignoring that there is an ipod connected to the computer, and refuses to acknowledge the ipod's existence even if I run a diagnostic. I tried downloading bonjour for windows, thinking that might solve the issue, but no such luck, it tells me i already have bonjour for windows on my computer--god knows where it thinks bonjour is, since running find turns up nothing.
    Anyone have a clue how to smack itunes upside the head and get it to start syncing again?

    Restart the AMDS! Read about it here.
