Losing Podcasts when I sync up

I just got a 30gb video ipod to replace a 20gb photo ipod I had prior. Every time I sync my ipod, I find that podcasts I have only listened to partially have been deleted. I've changed my settings in Itunes so that it should keep my last 5 podcasts but it still deletes them. I've tried looking for other options/preferences that may be affecting that but I have been unable to find any. Anyone have any suggestions?

Ok so HD video is not supported, which explains the problem so what is the solution? Do I have to put it through a converter to make the data and bit rate smaller? Would that even be possible?

I deleted some podcasts when I synced with itunes on my computer. They no longer show up on the itunes sync when connected, but are still present on my ipod. How do I delete them from my ipod?

Try swiping your finger across the podcast then tap Delete.

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.

You could also try control-A, then right-click and choose "Do Not Auto Delete"

Losing music when I sync to another iTunes

Hi - I'm wondering whether I can sync my ipod to more than one iTunes without wiping the exisitng content of my ipod?
is it possible to ensure that when, for instance, i plug my ipod into a mates itunes, it doesn't automatically sync all his tunes to my ipod and wipe what i already have on there?
a lot of the music i have was difficult to come by so am worried about taking the risk unless i know for sure that they won't disappear.
also, my existing tunes were ripped from Windows PC - does it make a difference if i sync from both Windows and Mac?
be great to hear some thoughts.
cheers

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To use with both a Mac and PC you'll need to have the iPod in FAT32 format:

Then you need to disable Auto Syncing. Simply check "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary pane in iTunes:

The podcasts that I have subscribed to via itunes have stopped downloading/syncing. I see new podcasts on the podcasts website but they are not listed on my list of itunes podcasts, nor do they show up when I sync to an iPod

Why, in ios7 on my iphone 5, will podcasts no longer download to the phone when I sync it?

I entirely stopped listening to podcasts for months because I was so frustrated by this whole situation. When I sync the phone, everything looks like it's transferring the podcasts I want to the phone's harddrive, but then when I go to the phone and try to play them...they have that (super-irritating to me now) cloud icon next to them and won't play (since I turned off cell data for the podcast app). Is there some setting I've somehow messed up to cause this? Can I turn off cloud involvement? I really don't care to see podcasts listed that aren't actually stored on my phone and this is infuriating.
Please help!
Thanks.

I think you may be having the same issue I am. It appears that the podcast app's directory is faulty, and cannot access the podcasts even though they've been physically moved to your iPhone (from iTunes).
You can test this theory by going into iTunes (on your Mac), click on your iPhone name (the phone must be connected), then look under the "Podcasts" tab When you click on the podcast title/folder, you'll see several individual podcasts with their names greyed out. I'm working hard & searching these discussions to figure out how to fix this.

I am losing a hard drive on another computer so I have downloaded all music to my ipod nano, when I sync the nano to my new computer and new itunes software it won't pick up the music from the old computer what do I do to successfully sync?

I am losing a hard drive on an old computer so I performed a sync of all music from the old computer to my ipod nano. Now when I sync my ipod nano to my new computer/Itunes all music will not upload to new computer/software. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve never needed to do that and am fairly new to using itunes but try doing this. Go to, “Store,” in the itunes menu and select, “Authorize this computer.” Enter apple id and see if that works. I heard that method is used to transfer purchased media to a new computer but I don’t know if it works for regular stored media. Please let me know if that works.

When I updated the software on my ipod 4 touch, many podcasts were erased. When I synced the ipod, they were erased from the ipod also. The current itunes does not allow me to go back to these dates (a few months) and re-download? Can I? and prevent this?

When I upgraded the software on my ipod touch4, many podcasts were deleted from itunes. Of course, when I synced the ipod, they were deleted from the ipod as well. Apparently the current version of itunes will not let me go back to these earlier episodes (just a few months), in a podcast that I have been subscribed to, and re-download them. Is there a way to do that? and, how can I prevent this from happening again?

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

ITunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
