Lost preferences and podcast subscriptions

For the third time in the last two weeks, when I've fired up iTunes to download my podcasts (I subscribe to a dozen or so), the program has managed to forget those subscriptions. Once again I have to remember what I subscribe to and search for each one so I can resubscribe to them. Once was a fluke; the second time was a pain in the neck; now it's a third time and I'm starting to get unhappy.
When I resubscribe I notice that it also changed my podcast destination folder from the one I specified to the default one buried in Libraries/Music/Itunes/blah/blah/blah.
To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed as far as the version of iTunes that I'm using. Nothing has changed regarding this particular laptop.
So what's going on here?

I have the same problem. Did you solve it? How?
Thanks, Joerka

  • Lost preferences and when requesting a batch operation  the  error "The command "Batches" is currently not available."

    For CS6 when I started to work again I had lost screen preferences and when tried to run a batch operation I got the message "The command "Batches" is currently not available."  Where are these files stored and how can I restore them?

    Found IT !!!   For Windows - go to users appdata folder and windows has a file restore function.  restored Actions Palette.psp and Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp files to previous versions.  Works great.

  • ITunes library - lost ratings and podcasts

    I held the shift key and opened iTunes and chose an alternate library. I then closed iTunes and restarted the same way but this time chose my main library. In doing so it appears that all of my ratings I disappeared except for those give 2 years ago and all of my Podcast subscriptions are gone.
    Any ideas on why this would happen and how to restore the library back to the way it is supposed to be?

    If the library you have chosen is 2 year out of date, is it possible that you have chosen the wrong library?
    You haven't said anything about how you have things set up, but the sort of thing I am thinking of might be:
    You moved your music and library files onto an external drive a while ago leaving your old library on the the c: drive. When you chose a library you chose the old one on the c: drive rather than the one on the external drive?

  • Lost iPhone apps and podcast subscriptions after relocating music

    Here is my situation:
    I am using iTunes and I have music for which I do not have iTunes manage. The music is located outside of the iTunes folder on my local PC. I have created playlists which include those songs. I have an iPhone 3GS for which I subscribe to podcasts via iTunes and for which I have purchased a number of apps. I am interested in moving the music files to a newly purchased NAS drive. I have a new folder on the NAS drive mapped to my PC as the Z: drive. I am intending on keeping the iTunes folder on my local pc.
    I do not wish to have iTunes manage those songs, so I do not want to have iTunes copy them to the iTunes folder and perform consolidate.
    I followed instructions online for doing a search and replace in the library XML file for all the songs outside of iTunes. I replaced the paths with the new ones. I also replaced the itl file with 0 byte file. On starting iTunes, it recognized the itl file as being corrupt, and rebuilt it from the modified XML file.
    This worked great for all the music but caused the following issues:
    1) iTunes no longer showed any of my purchased iPhone apps being present in iTunes.
    2) The previously hidden podcasts videos playlist (which normally just appears on my phone) was now visible. Also a second new playlist called podcasts appeared.
    3) The podcast list under library in iTunes which shows my subscribed podcasts is now blank,
    I have temporarily reverted back to my original XML and itl files until I resolve this issue.
    Does anyone know how to get around those issues or another method to move music without having to consolidate my music under iTunes?

  • Lost settings, library and podcasts

    Today my iTunes has lost all its settings. It's showing an empty Music Library (all the tracks are safe and sound on the NAS, just not showing in iTunes), no playlists and, most annoyingly, no podcasts - neither subscriptions nor past episodes waiting to be listened to.
    This is iTunes 7.0.2.16 on XP Pro. It was running fine yesterday morning.
    Anyone seen this before and know an easy way back? Obviously I can reimport the Music Library from the folders on the NAS, but rebuilding the playlists and the podcast subscriptions will be a PitA. Is there a set of files I can restore from a recent backup to get back where I was?
    Thanks in advance, guys ...

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    It also sounds like you have renamed your home account. Change it back.

  • You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with "******"?

    Why am I getting this error message every time I open iTunes? I'm giving the option of Sync or don't Sync and click sync and there are no problems. But why does it open with: You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with “*****”?

    Put them back the same you did originally.  Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and re-sync the music you want back to your iPad using iTunes.

  • Lost iTunes preferences and playlists

    A recurring issue (MacBook Pro shutting down unexpectedly with iTunes open) caused me to lose all my iTunes preferences and playlists. My iTunes library appears to be intact, but I also lost my album artwork.
    any help? 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. 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.
    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!

  • Running iTunes 10.5.3.3 - On my device there are podcast headers with no podcasts in them and I cannot seem to delete them. How can I get rid of these empty podcast subscriptions?

    I have a Classic iPod with current software and I am running iTunes 10.5.3.3. On my device there are Podcast subscriptions but all of the podcasts have been deleted from them. Is there a way to get rid of the header (i.e. the Podcast subscription title)?

    This has happened to a number of users lately.  Usually the only way to remove them to restore the iPod to factory settings.

  • 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?

  • ITunes crashed - took playlists and podcast subs with it. How to restore?

    My playlists I may be able to deal with having to restore manually, but my podcast subscriptions were also wiped, and I can't just bring them back on a whim. Are the subscriptions - and/or playlists - stored somewhere to be brought back, because I don't find it very viable to resubscribe every time iTunes runs into Random bug #41412.
    The files are still available, obviously.
    Anyone?

    You will then need to force the phone into recover mode (search Google).  All data on the phone will be lost.
