Listen to lots of short podcasts continuously?
My question in short: it is possible to listen to podcasts +as podcasts+ continuously (without manually choosing to play each one)?
There are two parts of the problem:
1. I like to autosync my iPod. I can plug it in to charge and know that when I pick it up early in the morning for my 45-minute commute, it will have new stuff on it.
2. A whole bunch of the podcasts I like are <5 minutes long. "60-second Science" is, well, about a minute long. That adds up to a whole heck of a lot of fiddling with my iPod.
I've tried solving problem 2 by making smart playlists that treat the podcasts as music (so they play in a row) with rules about refreshing the items, removing ones that have already been played, and so forth. But that exacerbates problem 1: the playlist always seems to be half things I've already listened to. I just want to listen to each episode of a podcast in a row without having to fish the iPod out of my bag. Is there some other way to do it?

Recently, my Ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously.
recently, (I believe the since most recent update) my ipod classic no longer plays grouped consecutive podcasts continuously. In the past it work quite effectively.
I checked the shuffle switches, and they were all turned off.
None of the threads that seem to address this issue effectively.
Don't have this problems with my iPhone 4GS.
Does anybody know what gives? Not real keen on Updating Software when options and features removed.Did a restore without any media being put on, here are the stats, and the increase from the original posted:
Retracts: 1 (+0)
Reallocs: 280 (+64)
Pending Sectors: 480 (+48)
PowerOn Hours: 198 (+1)
Start/Stops: 24856 (+50)
Temp: Current 33c (+6)
Temp: Min 14c (+0)
Temp: Max 54c (+0)
Although the hours, and temps don't matter much I included them anyway. Here are the stats after another restore, and all the media being added (increase from original, not last restore):
Retracts: 1 (+0)
Reallocs: 400 (+184)
Pending Sectors: 48 (-384)
PowerOn Hours: 198 (+0)
Start/Stops: 24861 (+55)
Temp: Current 36c (+9)
Temp: Min 14c (+0)
Temp: Max 54c (+0)
The pending sectors went drastically down, which is awesome, lot less songs are skipping.. Except the reallocs went significantly up as well, I assume that would be due to the remaps of the pending sectors? And should I try more restores to see if that would help try to fix the problem, assuming it would be fixing desk/memory errors? -
Error in iTunes when I'm wanting to put a CD on my iPod to listen to for a short time
Hi,
My iTunes has been playing games with my mind. It makes me think that my iPod is full and it's not 'cause I have been taking off CDs and putting on just the CD that I want to listen to since my iPod can't handle much more since it's near full. Whenever I want to put a CD on my iPod that isn't on there yet I get this weird lookin' error in iTunes when I'm wanting to put a CD on my iPod to listen to for a short time. This is what it reads: "iTunes could not copy "song" to the iPod "Liz's iPod" because an unknown error has occurred (-50). See, my iPod can't hold too many more of my new CDs so what I'm having to do is when I want to listen to one of the new ones I can put it on, listen to it, take it off and put another new one on which I don't mind doing, but this error that I am receiving has been annoying me for a long time. I'm hoping somebody knows something about this 'cause my iPod is not full at all since I'm trying my best to keep it from getting there. One other thing, I rip my CDs in 192 and VBR. My iPod has AAC on there as well, but those are just my converted music downloads that I have downloaded over the years, but the AACs aren't the case. Just my ripped CDs. Does anybody know what this error is telling me?
Thanks,
LizNevermind, I figured it out this morning. The CDs that I have ripped in 192 all load up good without errors and I just have to drag CDs that are ripped in VBR by transferring 2 songs at a time to get it all loaded up. That is weird, but thank goodness it had nothing to do with iTunes. I was just confused... that's all.

Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly. Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad.
- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup
- The restore to factory defaults/new iPod -
Just upgraded to ios7 and want to listen to BBc Global news podcast as I do every single morning and it is not there - where have all my podcasts gone? If I had known this would happen I would NEVER have upgraded.. Help!
As of iTunes 11.1 and iOS7, podcast files will no longer play in the Music app on the iPhone (this is very annoying, but that's the way it is).
The two easiest options are probably:
What Apple wants you to do: download and install their free Podcasts app onto your iOS device. In theory your podcasts, including the BBC news one, should sync onto the Podcasts app. This is supposed to "Just work", and if it just works for you, well, congratulations, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case for most posters in this forum.
What I'm leaning towards: for all podcasts in iTunes, Get Info, and change them from "Media Kind = Podcasts" to "Media Kind = Audiobook". That will allow them to sync to the Music app. Then you'll have to arrange smart playlists or whatever to sync those (ex-)"podcasts" to your Music app. -
Playing podcasts continuously......
I didn't see a "Podcast" section, so I'll ask this question here.
I have started using my iPhone to play my podcasts. I used to use the shuffle and just dragged them into a playlist. Then....they would play one after the other without stopping.
On the iPhone, I am using the checkboxes to select which podcasts the iPhone syncs up with. But now they don't play one right after the other. After each podcast, it stops, and I have to go into the iPhone and start the next one.
Is there any way to make it play one after the other on the iPhone? Would I have to do it manually and make a playlist like I did before? How do I do that on the iPhone? I saw the "manually manage music and videos" checkbox, but I wasn't sure if that would do the trick.
Thanks for any help on this.You will need to create a playlist to play different podcasts in a continuous fashion. You can do it either manually, or with a smart playlist.
Once you have the playlist, plug in your iPhone, and choose the Music tab from the iPhone summary screen. Make sure you click the checkbox next to your playlist to sync it to the iPhone.
I have a smart playlist that collects all my audio podcasts in one place. I then choose the ones I want to listen to each day and copy them to a manual playlist I have titled "Daily Podcasts". The Daily Podcasts playlist is then synced to the iPhone.
To make this work really well, you need to turn on auto delete for the podcasts, so they are automatically deleted after you listen to them completely. That way, my Daily Podcasts list clears itself when I sync the iPhone at the end of the day, and I can drag a new set of podcasts into it. -
40 minutes into listening, itunes deletes my current podcast with no way to recover it.
3 times now I've been listening to a free podcast I am subscribed to and roughly 3/4 of the way through the podcast it just disappears. The sound abruptly stops and the current podcast I'm listening to is gone. Deleted. No idea how or why. This is just one of the multiple bugs itunes has created in the last year or so of updates.
I would love to see your real full (sans ser no) System Profile
You don't mention what you are using. If not the ATI 5770 or above, get one.
Replace the graphic card likely even as troubleshooting
reset SMC
Make a current clone or two
Boot off clone or setup a clean new emergency system for maintenance
Safe Boot
Recovery Mode
Start a new 2nd TimeMachine (I swap out and use one about once a month for insurance)
Never used it and not endoring spending or using but TechTool Pro 7 does more testing
The fewer background goodies the better but monitoring temps, fans, memory are useful.
Temperature Monitor, SmcFanControl 2.4+
I dont' think you need to be using ClamXav
A system performs better with less
New computer? maybe a new disk drive. Maybe more or swap out some or all FBDIMMs. Maybe just a clean system. Worse case, you updated from SL to Lion/ML and didn't do a clean break.
Early 2008 3,1 that you have have been more tempermental for a goodly number of users.

Is there a way to configure the podcasts app to automatically discard the download file one you have listened to it?
I know I can manually delete the entire podcast episode entry, but I'd rather just discard the download file .Thanks for getting back to me!
It is connected over wireless. I don't have an RJ45 connection on the MacBook Air (although will purchase an adapter if needed). Even if I do have an RJ45 connection does this mean I can only ever use wired to view my external photo library?
I suppose having the wired connection will give me the time to organise my photos and delete some of the rubbish (which I would have liked to do on my old MacBook first but it was running too slow, especially with such a big photo library - so I treated myself to a new MacBook Air so I did!).
And I guess I could then put my favourite photos on the MacBook Air and have a separate library of older/lesser used photos on the Time Capsule and just access those as and when over RJ45 network cable. I prefer to use wireless as much as possible as the Time Capsule is normally stored in a room I don't use the MacBook or other wireless devices ! -
What happened to the listened to status display on Podcasts in IOS5?
I used to be able to tell which podcasts in my IPads IPod I had listened to by looking at the dot next to the podcast name. If unlistened to, the dot was filed in. If listened to, it was an empty circle. Partially listened to it was partially filled. Now, no circle or indicator of any kind. I may have 5 Leo Laporte podcasts and I can't tell by looking which ones I've played and which I haven't played. This is not an improvement! It is a step backwards. Please put that feature back in!
6.1 now uses the Microsoft Windows Installer. Information on that can be found here. I have download the SDK but haven't started to play around with it yet. There is editor included that I believe will allow you to change the settings in the msi file. I think right now, the default is to overwrite files if what's on the installer is newer.

Podcast Continues to next Installment, instead of turning off.
Recently my iPod has started playing podcasts one after the other, not stopping at the end of the podcast - Can anything be done to change this back to how it used to be?
Main Menu -> Settings -> Shuffle needs to be set to On in order for playback to stop once your podcast has finished. The setting needs to be enabled before you start listening to a podcast in order for it to take effect.

Hello,
i have a DVD with a lot of little films (around 10). Each is accessible via a button in a menu. But i would like to have a button to read them all in one time.
I tought this was possible with a scenario, but it seems possible to do that only with chapter marker ?
How can i create a 'chain' to read all films ? script ?I would be hard pressed to better this nice little tutorial/example set up by our very own Hal that does exactly what you want.

Itunes 11.2 Podcasts continually downloading old episodes
Since updating to 11.2 my podcasts have been giving me a couple issues:
(1) Everytime I start iTunes and try to refresh my podcasts it automatically starts to download all the old episodes of certain shows.
- I've tried to delete them manually but it just downloads them again.
- I've marked them as "played" and left them to be deleted automatically after 24 hours as they are supposed to be but they just download again instead.
NOTE: It's only doing it for a few podcasts from one provider (AfterBuzzTV) but it is not doing it for every show i subscribe to from them.
(2) The ones it is not automatically downloading every old episode of have had the titles changed to "Unknown Album".
- I tried restarting iTunes and my computer since this seems to have worked for other people with the "Unknown Album" problem in the past but it does not work for me.
Basically it tries to download around a 100 episodes or so everytime I open iTunes, some of which are over two years old.Agree. Same issue... ;-(
The other significant probelm is that my podcasts stop playing after about 90 seconds and then the Podcasts application suddenly quits. This is for the birds.
I've tried playing with the Sleep Timer (turning it on and off, asking it to sleep after the current episode, etc.). Rebooting the iPhone, ...
Nothing works.
Apple, What's going on here? Your latest software upgrade are RETROgrades!

Premium podcast continues to ask for username/password
I subscribe to a paid podcast. The username/password prompt has a "Remember password" check box. Even with this box checked the username/password prompt re-appears each time I download this podcast.
Is there a setting that will keep the username/password prompt from popping up each time I download this podcast?
Thank you,
Danathere is no other real way but to use that checkbox
you should also make sure that you have the latest version of itunes or if you already have the latest version of itunes you could just try reinstalling it -

Symptom: Power on => motherboard lights ON => 4 short beeps => all fans ON => 2 seconds => power off => back to the power on (reboot cycle)
No post, no signal to the monitor.
I have tried:
1. switch old video card (a still working card).
2. switch memory cards in 4 different slots.
3. set up the system on cardboard.
4. clean bios (for every test)
Nothing works so far.
RMA the motherboard. They simply swapped the motherboard and send another one back to me.
Unfortunately, same thing happen again. (so frustrated)
