Manually Transfer Podcasts - Don't Show Up in iPod "Podcast" Area

Here's the scenario. My wife and I each have iPod Shuffles for use at the gym, etc... We each have our own computer and different iTunes libraries. For our anniversary, I bought her (us) an 80gb w/video. The thought was that we'd share both of our music libraries here along with videos/podcasts for us to use when we traveled (separately or together).
I've found that the best/easiest way for us to manage the iPod's library is to set it up for manual management. This was after doing a lot of searching forums on managing between two computers... unless that's changed, then no worries there.
My wife took a trip a couple of months ago and downloaded some individual podcasts (not subscribing) into her computer, from iTunes, and transferred them into the 80gb iPod for watching on the plane. They're in the Podcast section as expected. I'm taking a trip in a week and downloaded some additional podcasts from iTunes, and also did not subscribe to them. I did a drag and drop into the 80gb, but I couldn't find them looking through iTunes and through the iPod itself - except through the recently added files folder.
The only place I can find them is in the "Recently Added" folder, but that won't last long. So now that I've "found" the podcasts, how do I get them libraried (is that a real word?) into my Podcast section of my iPod? They do reside in the Podcast section of the iTunes program. I have version 7.2.0.35 of iTunes if that matters.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

Some podcast don´t show in my Ipod

Hello, I've got an Ipod 80G and I have downloaded some podcasts. I can hear them fine and I saw in the display list, but I don´t know why I cannot see the anymore in the last days, I think the podcast are there but they don´t appear in the display. Somebody knows why I cannot see all my podcast?

If someone speak spanish, I write it in spanish:
Hola, tengo un Ipod classic de 80GB, me he suscrito a algunos podcast y los he pasado a mi Ipod, pero no se cual sea la causa de que ya no veo algunos de ellos desde hace unos dias. Lo que recuerdo es solo haber conectado mi Ipod a la PC y descargar otros podcast. Los podcast que ya tenía no los he borrado de mi Ipod, en la sección de Podcast en Itunes aparecen esos podcast. he tratado de pasarlos nuevamente al Ipod, pero aparentemente hace la transferecia pero no lo veo en mi Ipod. No se si con esto, este duplicandolos.
¿Alguna sugerencia?
Gracias

Hello,
I have a similar problems. I have a Ipod 120gb and downloaded a number of podcasts to my ipod, which I saw yesterday, however, while reviewing one of them the ipod froze for a number of seconds and then all the podcasts disappeared except the one I was looking at.
Does anyone know why this happened.

I can't manually transfer podcasts from another computer

The computer that I "sync" my ipod with is seriously on the fritz. I'm an NPR junkie, and downloaded podcasts to our other computer (we are a four computer family). These podcasts are free, so there should be no copyright issues. I have set the ipod to manually manage files, per instructions, but I still cannot copy some of the files to my ipod. The instructions are to drop and drag, but it is not working. Suggestions?

What do you mean access them?
Itunes store does not keep a copy on their server for you. You get ONE download. If you want that content on another authorized computer, then you have to put it there. It will not magically appear.

Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Songs don't show up on ipod

When I drag my songs from ITunes into my ipod on the computer, they show up. I press eject Ipod and when I look on my Ipod, they're not they're. What's happening????

I agree. Obviously, of course make sure you have "manual update" selected as well. Just make sure they are in the correct place and that you update your ipod (even if you had just done it before moving the songs and its still plugged in) to make sure the change took effect.

Videos don't show up on iPod video playlist

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but I subscribe to a coupld of video podcasts. They update fine off iTunes and they synch over to my iPod. The problem is, they don't show up in any of the video playlists. They show up under the 'recently added' list of both music and video files.
How can I get these things to list in the Video Podcast playlist?? Thanks for your help and thoughts!

Julia,
Do you have a Fifth Generation iPod, or not?
Only Fifth Generation iPods are compatible with any videos, which include video podcasts that you try to download onto it.
So, if you have a Nano, for example, it isn't won't be capable of playing any video files, sorry.

Music videos don't show up on iPod

Evere since I've updated to iTunes7 my music videos that I purchased on iTunes don't show up on my iPod. I can see them in iTunes under default Music Videos playlist but somehow they are not in the Movies folder in the Library.
They also don't appear in the Music Videos folder on my iPod.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

Movies are on Itunes but don't show on my Ipod

Hello
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... I have a few mp4 movies and they are showing up on my Itunes and it says they sync with my Ipod, but then when I look at my Ipod there are no movies, videos or anything under there...
Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
Thanks a ton!

If you're having the same problem that I am, here's what I think's going on...
I've got mp4 movies, and they're in iTunes, but not showing up on my iPod.
Because I made them in iMovie'08, I've encoded them as both Medium & Large files.
It looks as if the large (high quality) version has been entered into iTunes, not the iPod compatible one.
Go to your 'Library', then down to 'Movies'.
Highlight the movie you want to have in your iPod, now go to the 'Advanced' selection on the top bar.
Whoa! The 3rd one down said 'Convert to iPod/' but now it's a gray area that I can't click on, and it says 'Covert to mp3'
But as I look down to where my playlists, there's a selection that's showing 'Converting.'
I wait with baited breath.
Good luck to us!

Why can't I manually transfer podcasts onto ipod?

I have an ipod classic, and I'm trying to move selected podcasts onto it by clicking and dragging.
It looks like it should work, but nothing goes onto my ipod. If I add the podcasts to a playlist and then add the playlist, then I can get the podcasts to move onto the ipod, but does anyone know why I can't do it the normal way?
I don't want to sync all my episodes as then I'll lose most of them because they're from another computer that died.

This seems very similar (if not identical) to my issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=725691&tstart=0
Has Apple removed the ability to manually select and delete individual Podcasts on your iPod via iTunes? And if so, why on earth would they do that? It can't be a "feature" can it?
I don't want to have to delete Podcast episodes from my harddrive/iTunes library simply to delete them from my iPod; I maintain a large library of Podcasts, and I like to manually move them to the iPod when I feel like listening to them in the car or whatever, and deleting them later (from the iPod only, not from iTunes).
I'm about ready to downgrade back to iTunes 6...

Some playlists don't show up - weird iPod syncing problems

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - couldn't find the answer when I was searching the boards last night. Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an issue with the touch...
Last night, I plugged my iPod touch (1G) into my MacPro to add some new music. This is when things got weird!
First, I noticed that my iPod's name had mysteriously changed since the last time I synced it. It used to be called "Christine's iPod" and now it has reverted to the default "iPod touch."
Next, when I went to add some different playlists to the iPod, I noticed that one of the playlists I wanted to add didn't show up in the Music tab, so I couldn't "tick" it for inclusion on the iPod. This isn't a new playlist, and I have successfully synced it with this iPod in the past. I tried renaming the playlist and making a new playlist with the same songs, and neither of these playlists showed up either. BTW, I definitely don't have too many playlists - I probably have 100-150 playlists total.
Anyway, I restored my iPod and starting from scratch - and the playlist still didn't appear to be available to sync. I ended up adding the playlist by "manually managing" my music, but this isn't an ideal solution. I'd like to be able to sync the playlist!!
Don't know if it's relevant, but my bf also has an iPod touch that he syncs to the same iTunes account. We have separate computer logins, and our iTunes Library is on a shared disk on our MacPro (to prevent needlessly wasting HD space due to song replication) and occasionally we both get messages saying we don't own or don't have permission to access the Library when opening iTunes. To solve this, we alter the permissions on the disk and apply to enclosed items. Maybe this happens after updating iTunes or adding new songs? Not certain what triggers it.
Thanks in advance - this is really bugging me!

Songs don't show up on iPod yet show as purchased on iTunes.

I had synced my iPod with my computer like I always do. After I disconnected it, all my songs were gone from my iPod. So I synced it again and tried to put all the songs back on the iPod. Most of them went back onto the iPod, but some didn't. They show up on my iTunes but say they can not be found. It still says they're purchased and won't let me try to redownload them. I've tried turning my iPod off and turning my computer off, but neither helped. I don't know how to get my songs back. I have a iPod touch 2nd generation. This has never happened before.

Videos don't show up on iPod

Please help me!
I tried every single german iPod-Forum but nobody could possibly help me.
My iPod worked out great until I updated the ipod itself and
iTunes. I can see all my videos and podcasts in my i Tunes
library. But they're not on my ipod!
I don't know what else to do, it drives me crazy. Right now
the ipod is not worth all the money I paid for it.
I hope you might have some idea what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Julia

ITunes 11.1 won't let me manually transfer music from my library to my iPod.

I just updated my iTunes to Version 11.1 and installed iOS 7 onto my iPod Touch. I'm trying to manually add all of the music from my library onto my iPod but it won't let me.
- Under the "Summary" tab I have the option "Manually Manage Music & Videos" checked off
- Under the "Music" tab I DO NOT have the option checked off that says "Sync Music"
- Before I upgraded to iOS 7 I deleted all of my music from my iPod and so I have full capacity of storage left on my device
- iTunes says that I have 52.71 GB Free out of 64 GB
- When I try and move any of the music from my library onto my device a red x is highlighted and it won't let me add anything to my device
- I have restarted my computer
- I have re-started my iPod Touch several times
- I tried un-installing iTunes 11.1 and then re-installing it on my PC
- My PC is running Windows 7 64Bit
I've never had this problem before so I don't understand what is wrong

If you had the same problem as me with my iphone 5, then follow these instructions and syncing new music should work.
Whilst in itunes 11.1 click the icon in the top left corner, it gives you options, click 'Add file to library' (ctrl+o) and add the music from your computer to the itunes library.
Once you see the music in your itunes library, drag the songs from your library to the right and an iphone/ipod section should appear and you drop it into your ipod.
Once this is done, click the ipod icon which should be on the right (near the top area) and once on the ipod options, go down and press sync. All the music that you added will appear on your ipod.
Hope this helped, good luck.

Changes to topics don't show up in chm & topics are duplicated

I imported a RoboHelp 5 project into RoboHelp 7. When I edit
a topic, save, and generate the primary layout (chm) the changes do
not show up in the chm unless I access the topic through the TOC.
Also, duplicates of every topic show up in the .chm when I search
on a topic title: one with old out of date stuff that I don't know
where it's coming from and one that gets a "The page cannot be
displayed" message.
I am soooo confused.

Hi, Hammer Chick,
Here are two recent threads where other users have reported
similar problems:
"Multiple/broken/repeated
listings in Search results"
"Double-entry
Search results!"
So the proposed solutions are:
1) Make a backup of your project, and then rename the .cpd
file and reenter your project.
2) Try creating a new single source layout.
3) Check the hyperlinks in your topics for any that
inadvertently point to target topics that are above the root folder
of the help project.

Please help....can I transfer a purchased TV show to my ipod? Can't seem 2

Dear friends,
I've been an ipod user and itunes user for many years. I just bought a new video ipod and it has more than enough space left on it.
I bought a Law and Order SVU tv show from itunes and I have tried and tried to synch it to my ipod and either I'm really missing something obvious, or you aren't allowed to do that.
Please advise!!! I have all my music and podcasts on it just fine.
Thanks in advance,
