Keeping podcast subscriptions.

so the company i work for is finally opting to get new machines, we've been designing on old G4s with 10.3. anyways, we're getting iMacs and i was wondering is there anyway i can export my list of podcast subscriptions from the old G4 to the new iMac without exporting any playlists i've connected to my music library.
i jus wanna move my subscriptions only, my podcast subscription are vast and many and i do not want to take the time to track them all down again in itunes.
anything helps. thanks.

It may be because you are using the same Apple ID in the two iTunes libraries, to sign in to the iTunes Store.
Open iTunes Preferences Store tab. There is a setting (checkbox) that says Sync podcast subscriptions and settings. If that setting is enabled, see if unchecking it makes a difference regarding this problem.

Can I subscribe to podcasts on different computers and keep the subscriptions separate ?

I am managing two different itunes libraries on two different macs with the same apple ID.
I whish to keep these two libraries separate, not only for songs (easy) but also for podcasts (my main question).
I don't want to end up subscribing to a podcast on one computer and having it pop up on the other.
I don't want to delete a podcast on one computer and having it dissapear on the other.
In brief I don't want to have my podcast subscriptions and the individual podcasts synced between the libraries although they are sharing the same apple ID.
Side note :
- The recent iTunes updates (september and october 2013) have put a big mess in my podcast librarie(s) by deleting (trashing without notice) huge chunks of podcasts, generally podcasts part of no longer existing subscriptions.
To resolve the issue I had to manually recover the podcast files from a backup. I also went into each outdated subscritions (for which I wish to keep the podcast files) and manually mark them as "unsubscribe" - which is normally not needes as the feed does not exist anymore. I also went into each "active" podcast in order to confirm "Disable auto-delete" in the popup menu. In short : I lost a full day of work, and don't have any trust on how Podcasts are managed in the most recent versions of iTunes (11.1.1, 11.1.2, 11.1.3).

What types of edits are you doing? and what is the source of the table (or its original formatting)?

Why do I keep getting this message - it is simply not true. 'You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations?

Itunes stops podcast subscription by itself

I subscribe to Rev3's "Tekzilla" video podcast. there are one-minute daily versions and a once-per-week long-form version that are covered by the one subscription (in other words you can't get just one or the other). I watch only the long-form version and delete the dailies.
every week itunes stops updating the subscription saying something to the effect of, "...itunes has stopped updating this subscription because you haven't listened or viewed the podcast recently..." and the choice is given to continue the subscription or delete it. every week I have to tell itunes to continue the subscription.
how do I get itunes to stop this crap and just keep the subscription running?
thanks much...

someone made a script that fixes this. It seems to work for me. If you want it to do it automatically just make an iCal event for every 3 days or something that runs this script.

Transfer Podcast Subscriptions Between Macs?

I've got to put my MacBook Pro in the shop for a few days, so I'm going to be using my old PowerBook while it is gone (it runs OS X 10.5.8). Is there any way I could transfer just my podcast subscriptions between the two Macs so I can keep listening to my programs (approximately 45 of them) while the MacBook Pro is gone?
Thanks for any recommendations you can give!

Didn't get any help with the question.

Podcast subscriptions vanished

I have a bunch of podcast subscriptions in itunes on my pc. I tried to sync them to my iphone for the first time and because I had very few on my iphone somehow it deleted all my subscriptions that wasn't on my iphone from itunes and now I don't know how to get them all back. I've tried restoring an old libary file my from itunes directory but that still isn't bringing them all back. Any suggestions on how to restore all my subscriptions? Also how do I keep the iphone from overriding itunes. 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. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

ITunes combined two podcast subscription lists

We have always maintained two machines (one mac one pc) with iTunes keeping separate podcast subscriptions but linked libraries for music. 11.1 decided to download all subscribed podcasts on both machines to both machines. Our tastes diverge on podcasts so keeping them separate is a good idea.
I'm guessing we are stuck with this but what is the best strategy to deal with separating the two lists? The best option I have so far would be
his and hers playlists If the my stations list actually functions as a play list.... On the up side I can now just put a big harddrive in a NAS on the network and be done with duelling libraries.

Well, I hear your response, and it confirms what I understand about the issue. I'm trying to understand how it's "Not allowed." Usually Not Allowed would preface a rule to prevent some sort of disorder. However it seems that moving something as simple as a url subscription from the ipod to an itunes program would be a simple matter and would not require any code of ethics.
Now it may be that it has yet to be part of the itunes program, but it certainly should be, or perhaps there is some sort of work-around.
You see, on my computer with the latest subscriptions, iTunes does not properly sync the podcasts for which I have subscriptions, but just 'renews' al;l the podcasts I have already listened to, and my older subscriptions iTunes seems to function a little better for whatever reason.

Podcasts subscriptions disappearing 2 weeks in a row

This is the 2nd Monday morning in a row where all my podcasts subscriptions mysteriously disappeared.
On my run I tried to listen to Sunday evenings Twit podcast and all my podcasts are gone! Again! I get back home,
sit at my Mac Book Pro and all my podcasts are gone, too! Again! Just like last Monday!
NPR, Coverville, Twit, and others ... vaporized.
So, I go back to the iTunes store via the Mac Book Pro and resubscribe, Again.
Odd, when I click subscribe the button in iTunes for a podcast it doesn't indicate 'subscribed' it still
indicates 'subscribe' though the podcast is added to my podcast library, where I have to go in and tweak the settings, Again.
I check my Apple iOS podcast app and there back, too.
In the press, that Apple is having podcast issues.
Is this one of them?
Any resolutions?
Thanks in advance,
OS X 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2, iOS 7

Yesterday about 8 podcast subscriptions disappeared.
Meanwhile, Men In Blazers keeps downloading several years of content.

Podcasts subscription linked to iTunes ID and not iCloud ID?

I have resisted using the Podcasts app since it came it. It seemed buggy and having iTunes on my Mac manage podcasts worked just fine for me. I'd plug my iPhone in every morning to sync. It synced great. It also worked great for my wife and her iPhone and Mac. More importantly, it keep our subscriptions separate.
Now, with iTunes 11.1 and iOS 7 Apple is forcing us to use the Podcasts app. However, it appears Podcasts syncs via your iTunes account and not the account associated with iCloud. We have separate iCloud accounts so iMessage, documents, etc. are kept separate. But we share an iTunes account so we can share music, apps, etc.
So it now appears my only options are to manage Podcasts solely on my iPhone and not sync with iTunes or use a different app for podcasts. Am I missing something?

Did you ever figure out a solution for this? My wife and I have the same issue. We share the same iTunes library for our music, but it's so annoying to share our Podcasts. Among many annoyances, for podcasts we both like, the first person to listen ends up marking a podcast as played, so the other may never see it.

HT6546 How do you get podcast subscriptions to download on my iMac?

I had several podcast subscriptions automatically downloading daily to iTunes on my iMac. When I installed Maverick they stopped and I can't find a way to get them started again. I looked for help on the iTunes site and all it talks about is in connection with a device and nothing about my computer. It tells me to click on things that do not exist and is totally worthless. I tried to resubscribe in the normal manner and it doesn't work beyond downloading a single episode while I wait. it only downloads at the speed of listening to it. How do I get these podcasts started again?

The very first thing you should have done when you got the new External was to change to Mac compatible to Extended and Journaled then all will be well again. Get out the paperwork that came with the Drive and read it.

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

How do I find a downloaded podcast subscription that is not showing up in my library?

I downloaded a podcast subscription and it will not show up in my podcast library in Itunes. I tried to download it again but it says it is downloaded. What can I do?

Is the Podcast in iTunes U, which is a separate section within you iTunes Library? If you cannot see iTunes U on the left hand side, under "Library", click on Edit/Preferences/General>iTunes U (tick "on").
Did you actually download this programme "as a Podcast" through the iTunes Store or by subscribing to the Podcast feed in Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast? Or did you get it from the show's website?
Have you checked alternative spellings and even programme titles for the Podcast? (I have one programme, titled "Focus", but which appears under "BBC", who produced it!) Use the Search facilty to check your library.
If all else fails, what is the title of the Podcast, perhaps that may help us find it?

Can I change my podcast subscription to only put a new episode as visible and in the cloud, but not actually download it?

ITunes "Forgets" Podcast Subscriptions

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and iTunes has started a disturbing behavior. It forgets podcast subscriptions if there are no episodes in iTunes for it to sync. I listen to several daily podcasts that I delete after listening to them. Since I have upgraded the OS, I have to re-subscribe to these podcasts on my iPod Touch whenever I get a new episode if there were no episodes in iTunes at the time. Am I missing a setting in iTunes or something that is making the iPod Touch forget its podcast subscriptions? Thanks for your help.

I am also having this problem.

Consolidating Redundant Podcast Subscriptions

*What I did*: I accidentally deleted a podcast subscription (KCRW's Today's Top Tune) and all 300+ associated files. I dragged all those MP3s out of the trash and back into iTunes.
*The issue*: in the "Podcast" area, iTunes created 5 podcast subscriptions for "KCRW's Today's Top Tune". When I click the disclosure triangles, I can see that each of the 5 subscriptions contains different MP3s; my songs are spread out across these 5 organizing subscription headings (each of which has the exact same name).
*The question*: How can I get iTunes to consolidate these 5 podcast subscription headings into a single one to rule all my previously downloaded MP3s (sorry, couldn't resist) so that it can look as it did before the accident?

If you mean within iTunes then go to View menu and select Show Sidebar. One of the items under the Library heading should be iTunes U.
if you mean the actual files, select one of the files in iTunes, then go to File menu and select Show in Finder. This will open the folder where the file is stored.
Warning: You should not interact (delete, add, etc) with iTunes files/folders directly, but do it from within iTunes only.
