Mark a podcast as watched/listened

Is this possible in the Nano?
Usually there is exit music or blabs that they go on about and if I don't listen all the way to the end, it won't auto-delete when I sync.

I don't listen to podcast. Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual (direct PDF download) to see if there are any instructions.

  • Marking Podcast as watched.

    I have always tried to keep my library clean and in doing so I always mark my podcast as watched or unwatched. However, I when I double click (like right clicking) it doesn't give me the option to mark one way or the other.

    Also...is this a podcast downloaded from iTunes? If it's from another site and appears in your music library (instead of under podcasts) the option won't appear. If it is in the music library, you can Get Info and under Options change Media kind to Podcast. Then it will appear in the Podcast library.

  • How can I mark a podcast as "read" ?

    Is there a way for me to manually mark a podcast as one that I have already heard? I almost never listen to them in iTunes and I manually select which ones I put on my nano. iTunes can't tell if I've listened or not and so I'm automatically unsubscribed.

    After researching this further, I have concluded that the update feature is working correctly. What I was expecting was that once the iPod would sync with my Mac, that the updating, including marking the podcast as read would take place at that point. In reality, this function does not take place until I click on "Update" in iTunes. During that process the various blue dots of those Podcasts listened to go away, and Podcasts that are outside the parameters of those I want to retain are deleted.
    So, if indeed, as long as I have completed the entire Podcast, the update functions are working properly.

  • Mark a Podcast as Unread

    How to mark a podcast as unread.
    I update my iPod with the unread podcast only, and there is one mark as read that I don't listened.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Control-click on a podcast (or select multiple podcasts and ctrl-click on the selection) and choose Mark as Unplayed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Podcasts I've listened to are staying on iPod - what's up?

    I am trying to get my iPod to remove any / all podcasts I've listened to removed when I sync it with iTunes.
    I thought I had this working once, but now it just keeps all the Podcasts even though it shows on both iTunes and the iPod that I've listened to them.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Ack. The same thing just happened to another Podcast. It got reset all the way back to the beginning, so every single episode was downloaded and set as if I had never listened to any of them!

  • Getting rid of podcasts I have listened to

    Hi
    I have set up my iPod to automatically download certain podcasts. They seem to sync fine from my computer to my iPod, only keeping the ones I have NOT listened to yet on the iPod.
    My question is, How do I get rid of the podcasts I have already listened to ON MY COMPUTER? They don't seem to go away.... Do I have to manually select each one and delete it? That would be quite a number to have to see to. Is there no easier way. I have an old iPod and I am still using 10.3. Maybe that is my problem

    I have to manually delete the podcasts I have already listened to from iTunes in order to get rid of them. Using SETTINGS, the podcasts I have listened to on the iPod ARE deleted, but they are not deleted from iTunes.
    Actually, I think this is a safety measure. Some people purchase their podcasts (eg: language learning, for example) and they DO NOT want to "automatically" delete them from iTunes.... so I am okay with this.... if anyone has a better idea, let me know.

  • After last upgrade Apple TV 3 blue dots not disappearing after podcast is watched. How do I fix?

    After last upgrade Apple TV 3 blue dots not disappearing after podcast is watched. How do I get them to disappear like they always have?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Not marking played podcasts

    Latest software upgrade fixed the issue of playing one podcast then stopping...big improvement. Now played podcasts remain marked as unplayed on the Nano but when I sync with iTunes, iTunes seems to know which podcasts were played and marks them correctly.

    This was the way podcasts worked in all iPods since the beginning and how many used it. It made more sense to play individual episodes in the Podcasts section and adding them to playlists for sequential playback. Many used it this way for years to play individual episodes from the Podcast section when they didn't want all the episodes marked as played. This was the reason I no longer use my touch for podcast listening. Playlists and smart playlists are a better option for sequential playback due to their automation and customizability. Smart Playlists can easily gather up new episodes of different podcasts creating a virtual "radio station".
    Now to play an individual podcast episode at bedtime I must make a separate playlist for one episode and do clean up afterwards. One step backwards if you ask me. Now you see lots of complaints here as to why the podcasts are not stopping. A better fix would have been to add an option for sequential playback in the iPod's Podcasts section.

  • How do I delete podcasts I have listened to from latest version of iTunes?

    I am not able to keep up with the new versions of iTunes and IPod (now on iOS 6.0.1). It seems you have to completely re-learn things almost every month!
    I download podcasts from a lot of sources, but virually never direct from iTunes (I find the search bar in iTunes almost useless and can rarely find what I want, whereas I know the home sites of the podcasts I do want, and want to manage all the downloads manually).
    I listen to them and afterwards manually delete them directly on my iPod.
    Before the latest version, I never used to sync my iPod and so it didn;t really matter to me what was in my iTunes library.
    I now find it very difficult to manage the iPod manually (transferring things individually into iTunes and then to iPod, so yesterday I (accidentally) deleted everything in iTunes and iPod and started again. I now find that I cannot delete things from iTines and am scared that when I next sync my iPod, all the podcasts I have already listened to and deleted directly on the iPod will be re-loaded into the iPod.
    Please could someone help me?
    In an ideal world, without losing what I have re-loaded into the iPod I would go back to the previous version of ITunes and to the pre- latest update version of software I had on my iPod as I learnt how to do things undr those conditions!
    Many thanks, and with apologies for being too old and tech illiterate to keep up with these constant changes.........
    tks,

  • No longer marking songs/podcasts as "Played"

    I count on my shuffle updating iTunes (windows) that a podcast was played. This way I know which I can delete from the podcast directory. Since going to the latest version of iTunes when I update the shuffle it is not feeding back the information that a podcast has been played. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Is it that Mail doesn’t mark messages as read or that messages marked as read revert to the unread status some time afterwards?
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • How do I get iTunes to totally delete Podcasts I've listened to?

    I listen to quite a few Podcasts on my iPod; I have them synced with iTunes so that once they have been listened to, they are deleted.
    But this only deletes them from the library; it doesn't delete the files completely - this is actually more annoying than if they weren't auto-deleted at all, because now I have to go into the music folder and try to remember which ones I've listened to and delete them manually.
    Is there any way of getting iTunes to delete the file completely?
    Thanks!

    Mine get deleted all the way, on the ones where I want that.
    On my podcast page in iTunes, I click on the Settings button down at the bottom. There is a default for all podcasts, but I change specific podcasts to "Episodes to Keep: All unplayed episodes". Then I right-click ont he main podcast and make sure it is set for "Allow Auto Delete".
    After it has been listened to, the blue dot to the left goes away. Then the next time the podcast is updated, the files get deleted. They are not even in the recycle bin.

  • Can I change the default for podcast deletion after listening?

    I have only just discovered that many of my cherished podcasts have been getting deleted after I listen to them. I originally set the option to NEVER delete after listening when I first installed iTunes years ago and I haven't change it since. However, I can only assume that it was changed by Apple during an upgrade at some point and I never noticed. The delete after listening option has been set to On for podcasts going back many years (2008 at least).
    Two questions:
    1. Is there some way to change the default setting to Off?
    2. Is there a way to bulk change the setting for multiple existing podcasts?
    Thanks.
    For what it;'s worth; I'm running iTunes 12.1.2.27 on Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell Latitude laptop.

    Choose the Podcast view you are using (either Podcasts/Podcasts or Podcasts/Episode List) from below:
    or
    and select Delete Played Episodes <Off> from the drop-down menu

  • Stopped downloading Podcasts 'cos not listened for few days

    Why does I-Tunes stop downloading my Podcasts when I've not listened to them for a few days? How do I turn this annoying function OFF?

    It's an option the Podcast producer has chosen to help save them money on downloads that are not listened to. Although Apple provide the function, the choice to set it is down to the Podcaster, not Apple.
    This is not correct: it's inherent in iTunes, see 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):

  • Satellite C855 - strange noise when tried to watch/listen something

    I bought this laptop around a month ago. When I first tried to watch or listen something, sizzling kinda noise came up for a few seconds and gone.
    I didn't think that it was important. But now, it happens everyday and lots of times when I listen or watch something. It buzzes, sizzles for a few seconds and it is really annoying.
    What could the problem be?
    Please help me...

    Are you sure the buzz and sizzle come from the speakers / headphones?
    Maybe the strange noise comes from HDD?
    In this case it would be an HDD malfunction.
    It could be also possible that this strange noise appears because of stressed CPU.
    In such case the applications (player) hangs / freezes for a second and creates some strange noises.
    Would be interesting to know if system restore / system recovery would fix it
