Keeping a tv show or podcast as "new" once I've watched it.

How do I keep a tv show or a podcast as new (in case I want to rewatch a show or listen to a particular podcast again) on my iTouch/Nano once I've watched/listened to it? Example, once I've listened to a particular podcast, the next time I plug in my iTouch (or Nano for that matter), the podcast/tv show is removed from my iTouch/Nano even though I HAVE NOT deleted the actual podcast/tv show from my iTunes library/podcast list/tv show list. Thanks!

In itunes right click on the podcasts or tv shows, there will be an option to mark as new, or mark as not new. Also a option to set auto delete, or don't auto delete.
You may want to change your sync settings for tv shows and podcasts on the ipod. Plug the ipod into your computer, click on the ipod in the left hand source pane. In the main itunes window, select either the tv shows tab, or the podcasts tab, and change your sync preferences to something that suites you better. Good Luck.

When I synch my iPod w. new MacBook Pro, laptop doesn't show which podcasts I've already listened to on the iPod. (My old MacBook did do that.)

I used to download new podcasts to my old MacBook, plug in my iPod, click the Synch button, and not only did the new podcasts get copied from the laptop to the iPod, but iTunes on my laptop would show which podcasts I'd already listened to, so it was easy to delete the old stuff, synch again, and the old podcasts would be gone from both the laptop and the iPod.
When I try to do the same thing with my new MacBook Pro (which I set up using the Migration Assistant to copy apps, including iTunes, from my old laptop), that doesn't happen: When I download a new podcast, plug in my iPod, and hit Synch, the new podcast isn't copied, nor does iTunes show which podcasts I've listened to since the iPod was plugged in the last time.
What used to be quick and easy is now cumberson and, because it's hard to remember which podcasts I've listed to and which I havened, error-prone!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The installer DMG will be in the Applications folder
I haven't tested this, but it seems somewhat at odds with this recent MacWorld article, which gives a method for "capturing" the Lion installer downloaded via the Recovery HD, and then creating a bootable installer volume from it.
Create a bootable Lion install drive for newer Macs
The article is meant for Macs that came pre-installed with Lion and therefore can't use the App store. The article describes a procedure to retrieve the Lion download not from /Applications but from a folder named "Mac OS X Install Data" which gets created at the root of the drive where Lion is to be installed. It's tricky, because normally that installer self-launches immediately after the download, and then deletes itself afterwards.
They distinguish this procedure from an earlier, simpler one that can be used if Lion gets downloaded via the App store - they reference an earlier article for that situation, which does involve retrieving the installer from /Applications. That method has been publicized in many places.
The inference for me was that the Recovery HD does not download anything to /Applications - otherwise the earlier procedure would work, and this new article would be unnecessary. As I said, thoiugh, I haven't tested anything.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50. How do I stop this from happening.

I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad. After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section. How can I stop this?

Thanks for responding.
I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!!

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!! It seems to me that it takes and unusually long time for TV shows to be uploaded to itunes and it takes FOREVER (VH1) to get Podcast updates. Also I notice that Vh1's Best Week Ever is a hit or miss deal. Some weeks it's on iTunes and some weeks it's not......why?

The iTunes store simply provides a link to the originating podcast server.
When the podcast owner puts a new episode up, it is available.

List view not showing all podcasts

Guys, I have the annoying problem that podcast management by itunes and the podcast app are F'ed up.
Not too lobg ago I experienced my ipad greying out most podcasts that were downloaded and on my ipad, for no reason at all. it took me 2 days fiddling with settings and ended up having to set every sync to "on" and set donwloading to "all" and "keep all podcasts"
Now I'm experiencing the problem that the "list" view in podcast app, is not showing all podcasts, but the "thumbnail" view is (as far as I can tell...). Why is this and how can I fix it to make sure both views show everything?
I'm running iOS 7.0.6 and iTunes 11.1.5

Hey there sporry,
It sounds like your Podcasts app is not showing your library correctly in the List view but Thumbnail looks ok. I recommend the troubleshooting in the article named:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
Update your apps:
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Install another app from the App Store
If your installed app won't open, download and install a free app that isn't on your iOS device. This should reset your Apple ID authorization.
Remember to use the same Apple ID that you used to download the app that you're having issues with.
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Podcast items not showing on Podcast Page in iTunes App

The Podcast items of the following Podcast are not showing when I choose to see the Podcast page within iTunes App: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/podcast/uzh-news-video-und-audio/id626789977?l=en
It's possible to subscribe to the podcast, and all items are being shown in the library as well, but not in iTunes Store View within iTunes App.
Please help : )
Devices: Desktop (iTunes 11.02), iPad 2 & iPhone 4S (both with latest iOS) - same problem everywhere

Hi Roger
Many thanks for your very fast answer! : )
In the meantime, we scanned the XMLfrom the RSS-Source (http://www.uzh.ch/news/topics/multimedia.rss) but we could not confirm any missing </image> closing tag.. : /
You're speaking of 21 instances of 'image' tags while there are only 20 items available in this feed - maybe the 21st might be the <itunes:image... />-tag (for the podcast art) which is not in need of a closing tag?
We know that iTunes doesn't like our image tag on item level. However, we do need this tags for other usage of this video-article-feed (f.ex. normal RSS feed subscribing) which is why we cannot remove it. But: do you know of any «trick» of specifically blocking that element for iTunes store since its troubling the latter so much?
Many thanks again, and our kindest regards to you and beautiful Londontown : )

AppleTV in itunes missing movies/tv shows/music/podcasts tabs

A friend's AppleTV only shows two tabs when in itunes: settings and photos.
My AppleTV (1st gen) shows all the usual tabs (settings/movies/tv shows/music/podcasts) and my settings tab has a Sync box where I can set my sync settings - my friends does not. All he has in his settings tab is the top box which states the name, capacity, software version and serial number.
He's using iTunes10 and his AppleTv (gen1) is on version 3.0.2
Any idea why he can't see what I can with mine? Any suggestions? His AppleTV shows up in iTunes fine, and is connected to the internet.

was your imac running OSX 10.5x, and is the new mac pro running OSX 10.6x? I wonder if the first generation of AppleTVs isn't properly snow leopard compatible? My friend's imac that he's got his AppleTV connected to is running Snow Leopard (my AppleTV is connected to an old G5 running 10.5x and as I say, it works perfectly)....hmmmmm

My iPod touch shows my podcasts "grayed out". They're there, but I can't play them. My older iPod plays them fine like normal.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all podcasts and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this?

After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this? I have tried clearing the cache, I have tried the factory reset, I have no 3rd party messaging apps and have done noting different with my phone that I have been doing the last 6 months.

Hi Johnnybdamned!
I regret to learn of any issues after the software update. Let's check some things out on your phone! Does the text message say who it came from? Is it a contact you message on a regular basis? Are you using the messaging application that came with the device, or a 3rd party application?
I recommend deleting any unneeded messaging threads and then powering the device off/on. Keep me posted!

Itunes 10.1.1 will not show all podcast updates via Refresh function

I am having a problem with my podcast not refreshing on the itunes podcast page when a publish a new episode. If I use the "show all available episodes" function the episode appears but if I click refresh or the automatic update functions the podcast is not new seen.
This is only a problem with itunes 10.1.1 on OS X 10.6.5, the refresh function operates on my windows machine using the latest itunes version. I am awaiting a response from Libsyn where my podcasts are based but I was wandering if anyone is having any similar problems.
Once the podcast is selected as previously mentioned, download and play is normal

Thank you but alas the Store's check available downloads facility does not work for podcasts.
This problem has only appeared since the last itunes update to my knowledge. It may well be an rss related issue as it does not seem to effect other podcast's new episodes, though I cannot see why it should only be a problem on my Mac...and all subscribe settings are constant for all podcast issuers on both platforms...It might just be a hidden setting somewhere but I've tried everything

New computer, want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

new computer, want keep ipod music from old computer to new?

Hi mtscott41,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have music on an iPod from your old computer. You now have a new computer but do not want to have the music from the iPod erased when you sync to the new computer. If the music on your iPod was purchased from iTunes you can either transfer those purchases from the iPod to your new computer’s iTunes Library or you can download the previously purchased content directly to your iTunes Library from iTunes. Please use the following article as reference for transferring purchases.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
The following article will show you how to download all of your previous purchases directly to iTunes if you would like to proceed this way.
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If the music on your iPod was not purchased from iTunes and you still have the old computer, you may want to use a process called Home Sharing to transfer that content to your new computer. The following article explains Home Sharing.
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

I hope this helps,

Hiya thankyou for the answer.
Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?
Thankyou again,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which Apple TV do you have.

HT201317 My shared photo album will not work. I am trying to upload photos but I doesn't show up in my new device. I've done it before but now it's not working. My old device is a 4s iOS 7.1.1 and my new one is a 5 iOS 8.1.1. How can I make the pictures s

my photo stream does not work at all. I've tried making a new album, but that does not work. So I've tried using an already existing album and deleting the pictures there. I decided to only upload 1 photo from my old phone (iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.1) to see if it'll show up on my new device (iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.1) it doesnt even show up in my new phone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2) this picture is what shows up on both my iPhone 6 and 5 but on the 4s there is a picture that I "uploaded" and a second one that came out of nowhere. I do not know what to do because in the past this has worked out for me and it shows up on all three devices

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update
