List of Podcast Subscriptions Missing

Okay, I did a silly thing and tried moving folders around and now my Podcast subscriptions are gone from iTunes. I tried moving the Podcasts folder back to where I think it was....but it hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to restore this without having to subscribe to them all over again? Thanks for your help!

Oh, I just noticed that even though they appear in iTunes again, it seems I do have to re-subscribe. Ah, well. Easier than having to search for each podcast all over again.

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.

HELP ! : PODCAST SUBSCRIPTIONS LISTED TWICE AFTER LIBRARY RESTORE

I have restored my entire itunes library onto my new computer.
When I restore my podcast subscriptions by drag and dropping the 'Podcasts' playlist over to the library a number of the subscriptions get listed twice.
How do I get all of the podcast episodes to appear under one subscription in itunes ?
Technically I know the reason why this is happening. It is because the podcast author at some point have changed the URL feed for their podcast. So some episodes come from an old URL location and some from the new location.
When itunes imports the podcasts it groups the old podcasts under one subscription heading and the more recent ones under another heading. However both have the same name hence duplicate podcast subscription titles !
Is there any way of forcing itunes to arrange all the podcast episodes under one subscription heading ?

I have been fighting the same issue for over a year, every time there is a new version released I get hopeful and scour the boards for a new solution, but alas no.

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.

Podcast: Subscription Download Day

Does anyone know what causes subscribed podcasts to seemingly download all at once versus at the time of invidual podcast releases? I've got many subscriptions from itunes and it would seem these should become released on the release day of the source.... Instead these come one or a few weeks later... Is it best to subscribe directly from the source, so as not be delayed and so as to unburden itunes-store which perhaps is primarily for retail sales?
In case it is expected serious podcast subsribers should know these things, much betteer than i do, where is the source of information specifically describing "most efficient podcast subscription method".
Another oddity deserving more elucidation is that subscribed podcasts sometimes are not received at all-- Instead one sees that podcasts are suddenly available, in grey writing with an accompanying "get" button. These have lost the automatic download function.
Insights welcomed

RE: " I may, however, be misunderstanding the point of your second paragraph, however, as it is somewhat unclear."
Thanks for pointing towards clarity, as i too seek clarity. The point then, of giving a live example is to discover why a show-producer would tend to be a week or more ahead of itunes podcast list for that same show-release-date. The reason to ask a public forum is see if there is a missing check box to use, or something missed by the questioner (me). I happened to have previously checked "Settings/ Every Day" so finally today i have changed this to "Settings/ Every Hour". . . See if that improves downloads in the coming days. Give it time to gel.
My given-example-show is not unique in download timing -- Seemingly it is each and every subscription, of my dozen (or so) subscriptions, which seem to follow this pattern of suddenly downloading all at one moment. So, it appears that conventions might have slowed down particular availabilities. The new-world-culture of downloading audio-shows is still developing. It is my hope that a forward-positioning company like Apple, might consider ways to improve on automating downloads generally-- Perhaps some wizard software that is especially adept at assisting Apple-Product-buyers, to take advantage of multi-cultural downloads. Have itunes more aggressively absorb subscriptions, even if a flag or tag or whatnot is missing. Like many, i have long continued to buy from Apple, to avoid fussing with "extra steps". The same point really, that you raised Meg! SO thanks again, Bo

HT1399 As I have added pocast shows to my itunes podcast list it is in a random order. How do I alphabetize my list of podcasts. Can I manually arrange them in an order of my choosing. Thanks

As I have added podcast subscriptions to my itunes podcast list on the far left menu window the list is in a random order. How do I aphabetize the podcast list ? Can I arrange them manually ?

I have about 500 bookmarks .. and they are arranged within 60 folders. I would like to see them in chronological order as before, because now to find a bookmark is a hard task.
thanks for your suggestion, anyway.

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.

ITunes stopps updating podcast subscriptions

Hello!
I use iTunes for a long time now to subscribe and archive podcasts, even though mostly I listen to them on my iPhone these days.
So far everything worked fine, but a few weeks ago I noticed, that iTunes stopped the automatic update of some podcasts. These subscriptions were marked with a little exclamation mark. When I clicked that I got the following message meaning in English "iTunes stopped the automatic update of this podcast, because you didn't listen to an episode recently. Do you wish to continue automatic update of this podcast?".
Since I normaly listen to podcasts these day on my iPhone and use iTunes mainly to archive some podcasts I like (some of them go back almost 8 years now on my hard drive) it can happen that I don't listen to episodes on my computer for weeks. But I still wish iTunes to update and download the latest episodes of some subscriptions in the background without me having to think about it.
Now since I noticed this behaviour after about two months it caused me some trouble since I missed downloading some episodes that are not anymore in the feeds :-(
Anyway, is there a way to stopp iTunes from doing that? Of course I answered the above question with "Yes" but now a few weeks later I noticed iTunes again stopping to update one of the podcasts.
Maybe this behaviour was added with the best intentions but it is very annoying if it can't be turned off. So far I didn't find an option for that in the settings, is there one in iTunes for that?
Thanks and greetings!

iTunes will stop updating a podcast subscription if you have more than five episodes downloaded but not listened to, as detailed in this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
which states:
You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.
There is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):

Podcast subscriptions duplicated

After doing an Itunes update my library was erased. I had a backup of the files and I added them back to the library. Now my my podcast subscription is split in 3. The information is in one folder in the itunes media folder, but it is not reading that way in the library. How do I consolidate them under one heading?
Also, I am missing some album artwork, which is not showing up even after I "get artwork". I had this artwork before.

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.

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.

No chapter list in podcast / Fast Forward issues

No chapter list in podcast.
When I listen to music and press fast forward it would go the next chapter of the podcast but now it seems it goes to the next podcast.
Is there a setting or something I am missing or not aware of?
Very annoying when I download music podcast and cannot move to the next chapter!
ARGHHHHH

i feel your pain.
after some messing around with siri, the music app and the podcast app. here's a solution that works (kind-of). i hate it, but i'm a subscriber of the economist too and this is the only way i know to play individual chapters.
basically if you can get music app -- note NOT the iTunes app and NOT the podcast app, but specifically your music app --, to start playing your podcast then you can see the chapter list inside that podcast.
the problem is that there is no easy way to launch your music app and point it at your podcast (how dumb is that ?). the work around i've found is to use siri. if you say 'play the economist podcast', siri uses the music app to start playing the podcast. and lo-and-behold, you can see the chapters !
hope this helps. apple really need to fix this.

Locked podcast subscription

A podcast that I subscribed to is no longer publishing content. So I un-subscribed thinking it would remove the podcast from the left hand list that is displayed under My Podcasts.
However it is still displayed and I can't get rid of it. I have tried to delete it, but nothing happens. When I look in the podcast location in the Finder, the folder has been removed so I'm not sure why it is still being displayed. When I select the podcast from the list and then click on the cog icon I can see that I am unsubscribed but I can no longer re-subscribe as it is locked.
Does anyone know how to unlock it, or just get rid of it from the list. This is really frustrating.
I should say I'm using iTunes 12.0.1.26 running OS X 10.10

Hello mrm2015,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have subscribed to a podcast in the past and now that it is no longer being produced, you would like to delete it. Please review the attached article for information on managing Podcasts subscriptions.

Have a great day,

How can I save podcast subscriptions?

I'm running into a frequent "iTunes Library is Damaged" problem on my Mac so I have to rebuild my iTunes library at least once a month.
I know how to restore my files quickly and eaisily but the biggest pain is resubscribing to my podcasts.
I like to delete my podcast files as soon as I'm done listening to them. This causes a problem if there are no files in a podcast subscription left on my hard drive when the inevitable iTunes crash happens. I have to remember the podcasts that are missing and then go and find them to resubscribe. I'm behind a corporate firewall much of the time and subscribing to podcasts thru the iTunes Store rarely works. I can usually get subscriptions to work if I go to a podcasters website directly, copy the URL with the XML info and paste into "Subscribe to Podcast" window in iTunes.
Once subscribed to a podcast the corporate firewall rarely interferes with the "Refresh" of podcasts, they download like clockwork. For some reason, getting the initial subscription is the big pain.
So to restate the question...how do I save podcasts subscriptions (not the actual files...just the URL) to podcasts?

CNBC podcast is missing video only audio?

Does anyone experience CNBC Fast Money, Mad Money, and other CNBC shows podcast is missing video only audio? Is this an issue with the podcast?

iPhone, PC, table, etc ... FastMoney & MadMoney are 'audio' only (iTunes even list it as such) ... 'On the Money with Maria Bartiromo' is listed in iTunes as "video', but it does nt work at all ... I have to believe we need to connect CNBC

Never received podcast subscription url

I submitted a url for a podcast subscription about 4 weeks ago and never received the podcast url to post to my web site. How can I find this?
Thanks.

It looks to me like the final approval email only goes to the email address listed in the <itunes:email> tag under <itunes:owner> area in the feed.
The first email, the review email, seems to go to both the owner email and the submitters Apple ID email address.
So if the email adresses are different, you might check the mailbox for the email address in the feed...granted it was a valid email address.
