ITunes upgrade deletes all podcast subscriptions

I just upgraded to 9.2, and afterwards, all of my podcast subscriptions had been deleted, which means that I have to go re-subscribe to them all. This isn't the first time this has happened with an upgrade. Talk about a royal pain! Is there something I'm supposed to back up before upgrading to avoid this?
Thanks.

Hey The Zach
I would check what is set to sync in the Podcast tab in iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in. There may be a setting that may be removing it when you sync your iPhone with iTunes.

How can I delete all Podcast subscriptions at once?

Is there a way to unsubscribe to all Podcasts at one time? Command A doesn't seem to work. My downloads are taking forever since it keeps looking for new episodes of programs that haven't been up dated in years.
I'd like to just zap them all and build a new subscription list from current shows that I actually listen to now.
thanks
I'm on a new Mac Book Pro running Maverick, itunes 11.3 - whatever the latest one is, I got it yesterday.
Thanks

Select 'list' from the top bar when viewing the podcasts.
Now select all, right click (or ctrl+click) and choose unsubscribe.
I haven't tested this since I have many podcasts in subscribed & unsubscribed state. If the only option is to 'subscribe' do that & then undo it the same way
You could delete them all if you know what subscriptions you want to recreate - you can also copy the podcast URL's too when all items are selected (mine seems to make many duplicates, but these can be pruned out - the 'sort' command makes this trivial - ask if interested).

ITunes has deleted all my music except for the genre I was listening to yesterday. It has also deleted my purchased movies and all my podcasts and playlists. Grrr

Deleted ALL podcasts

I meant to delete just some podcasts and stupidly hit command-a and selected all of them (thinking I was just inside one show). I deleted all podcast audio and all traces of the podcasts I was subscribed to. Everything is sitting in my trash bin. Is there a way to return everything to some semblance of normal? Thank you.

Drag the files to the desktop first, then drop them back into iTunes. For some reasons you cannot go from Trash directly to iTunes.
You may find there is a Subscribe button alongside once they are imported, but just press that and all should be well.

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

I recently got a new laptop, it has no music on it and I have been plugging my iPod in and listening to music that way. Tonight it decided to sync with my iTunes and deleted all of my music. Is there any way I can get my music back?

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

Mass delete all report subscriptions in SharePoint integration mode

Hi - what is the best way to delete all of subscriptions on 100's of reports not the shared schedules in a SharePoint library and folders. I know you can go into Reportserver database and delete from reportsschedule, subscriptons
and schedule tables. But is this would be the correct way?
thanks

Hi rv7a99cv,
According to your description, you want to delete your subscriptions in SharePoint integration mode. Right?
In Reporting Services, if you we want to delete subscription in SharePoint integration mode, we can just follow the steps below
Browse to a SharePoint library that contains your report.
Click the down arrow next to the report and then click Manage Subscriptions.
Click the checkbox next to the subscription, and click Delete.
However, it has reported an issue about after deleting subscription in SharePoint Library, subscriptions still exist in report server database. See:
Subscription not Deleted
when in SSRS SharePoint integration mode. So the best way is deleting subscription in database.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou

Itunes has deleted all my songs from ipod

Hi, I recently tried to update my ipod which had 1,780 tunes on it. My itunes has a library of 2,500 tunes. When I tried to listen to my ipod later it transpired that I had only one tune on it. Itunes had deleted all my songs, my itrip entries, playlists, everything. I have Windows XP and a 4G 40GB ipod.

Sorry I've been offline for a while. I updated iTunes and the new songs were added in the new one. There was a dialogue box that came up saying something like "songs not saved to library you don't have authorization". I clicked on the box. Checked library and all songs are there but not on ipod. Have updated all ipod software too.
Just noticed that I have some songs in C drive and some on D. My main itunes is in D.

10.6 upgrade deleted all playlists, purchased items, podcasts

Hi there
I just upgraded to 10.6 - and was horrified to find out when opening iTunes again, my playlists, podcasts, purchased items, etc weren't there. It's a total iTunes reboot! All my audio content is stored on an external HDD (yes, its plugged in) - though the iTunes Libraries are on my laptop.
Any idea how to recover these without having to go through the hassle of Time Machine?
Thanks

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library as iTunes Library (Corrupt) and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks for tools to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

Itunes deletes all podcasts when I sync

I was manually managing my podcasts, but when I synce my ipod, all of my podcasts are deleted, and when I try to copy them back manually, some of them won't copy. No error messages, they just don't go. I can get the problem podcasts on by letting itunes automatically sync my podcasts, but I do not want itunes to handle the sync automatically. The first 3 days after installing itunes and transferring my library to the new pc, everything was fine, then itunes started deltimg my podcasts. After a 4 days of that, it stopped letting me manually copy podcasts to the ipod (through itunes).

One thing to check, look at your podcast default options and make sure they are set to keep all the episodes.

ITunes 8 deletes unopened podcasts

Hello,
I just updated to iTunes 8, and discovered that it now auto-deletes podcasts to the settings I've chosen (which generally is fine of course), but it does so even for podcasts that have not been opened yet. Wouldn't it be more logical NOT to delete podcasts that have not been opened, since the user just was not able to (due to lack of time etc.)?
Personally, I'm glad I have not synced my iPhone yet, so I can still watch some TikiBar TV episodes even though they've already been 'killed' by iTunes...
Maybe it would be good to have an 'Do not delete unopened podcasts' checkbox in the Settings? Thanks for your response.
Cheers,
oxxie

I have the same problem. I tried to get around it by deleting the offending podcasts (it only seems to happen with 2 or 3 of my subscriptions), unsubscribing/resubscribing and downloading all available episodes. They stayed for a while, and then arbitrarily vanished from my podcasts list AND the folder that houses them in my iTunes library. (It's the LATTER problem that's really disconcerting...)
Any insight into this would be hugely helpful.
