'Mark as played/unplayed' for audiobooks

The 'Mark as played/unplayed' option for audiobooks has disappeared from iTunes 11.1.3 on Mavs. Any thoughts on how to get it back?

Okay so I have now just about worked out how to get around some of these issues.
Unfortunately you cannot do everything from the same view!!
To delete a podcast you need to be in the list view where right-click menu option delete seems to work as before.
To force download an episode that has the cloud icon you need to be in the podcasts view when there is a right-click menu option to download this episode.
Why this option is not available in list view shows lack of quality control somewhere.
Once we have episodes downloaded without the cloud icon then the played/unplayed seems to work and the unplayed episodes get moved to ipod/iphone when synched.
What a palaver, it all used to be so simple!

  • What happened to "Mark All as Played/Unplayed"?

    Either I can't find it anymore, or it was removed.   If it's the latter, I'm a bit disappointed.

    I can't find "Mark All Played/Unplayed" but if you tap "Edit", you can select as many episodes as you want, and then mark those selected episodes as Played/Unplayed.

  • What happened to "Mark Podcast as unplayed" in iTunes 11?

    What happened to "Mark Podcast as unplayed" in iTunes 11?
    When i download a podcast, i don't necessarily want to listen to it immediately on my MacBook -- I want to listen to it later on my iPhone.  But sometimes iTunes starts playing it.  Even if I stop it immediately, iTunes still marks it as "played", and won't send to the iPhone when I sync.
    There used to be an option to mark a podcast as unplayed, but that's gone in iTunes 11.
    How do I do mark a podcast as unplayed now?

  • Play count for imported items

    Here's a new one for me...
    Starting with this latest version, when I burn a CD, it automatically marks the Play Count for those items at 1. Anyone else encounter this? Is there a fix?

    i've noticed that sometimes the play count does not increase for songs, and the only workaround i've seen that works is to do a second sync after the first one completes.

  • I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it.  Thanks!

    As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.

  • "Mark as played" for podcasts doesnt work in itunes 11.1.3 and Mavericks

    Ever since updating to Mavricks, iTunes is not keeping track of my podcasts correctly. If I right click a podcast from the "Unplayed" list and choose "Mark As Played," nothing happens. the podcast stays in that list and the blue dot stays next to the podcast art. How do I get iTunes to acknoledge/delete played podcasts?

  • Podcast Not Marked as Played

    I download many podcasts and move them to my iPod. I usually play them straight from the computer and then disconnect it to listen to as I walk my dogs so I know which ones were played or not. Before iTunes 10 I was able to disconnect and just select the podcast I was listening to and pick up right where it left off. Now iTunes 10 will not remember where in the podcast I was or even if it was played, it will mark it as unplayed.

    Add me to the, "Me, too," group here. I get this problem - it's pretty annoying as well when I start listening on my iPhone, sync it to iTunes (which remembers where it's played), but then resets the last played location to the beginning again on the phone.
    I thought it was an iPhone "special feature" as I got iTunes 10 and the iPhone about the same time, and didn't recall getting the problem with my previous nano under iTunes 9. Not sure where the problem lies, but it's giving me a level of rage - it's illegal to operate a phone in the car here, so I wire the phone into an Alpine head unit which was atrocious controls for forwarding through giant 2.5 hour long "songs."
    Be nice if we saw a return to the previous behaviour, where syncs worked fine

  • ITunes marks part-played podcasts as played!!

    I just got a 5th gen iPod and while the new feature (for me) of remembering where you left off in a podcast and being able to pick up where you left off it very useful, I've also noticed another, annoying change.
    I have my iPod preferences set in iTunes to download 'unplayed only'. This worked fine until I got my new iPod. Now, when I sync the iPod with iTunes, all the podcasts I've part-listened to get marked as played and hence wiped off my iPod when I update.
    Does anyone know how to fix this without me having to change my settings to 'download checked only' and me having to manually manage my podcast downloads?
    Thanks, Nick

    I think I found the answer!
    (lease let me know if it's not the right place to put it)
    I had the same problem where I would download and sync a whole pile of podcasts in itunes, sync using itunes, get all my favourite podcasts ready for my commute, then leave the house only to find that they were unavailable.
    After reading the above I tried something that should fix the problem. here's what I did:
    1. uninstall the app
    2. reinstall the app
    3. download and sync podcasts using itunes and phone cable
    4. open the fresh install of app
    5. selected "don't sync..." from the inital alert box.
    6. double checked podcast app settings to make sure that sync was off, it only kept new podcast, and there was no auto downloading or checking
    7. checked to see if podcasts were all there and new (they were)
    8. turned off wi-fi and checked again to make sure the stupid cloud wasn't there (it wasn't)
    9. crossed my fingers that when I leave the house next I could listen to my favourite shows
    Hope this works for you guys!
    Good luck.

  • IOS Music app forgets playback position for audiobooks

    The iOS music app on my phone repeatedly is losing playback position for audiobooks. I go to the Music app > Audiobooks > BookTitle  and get to a menu where I see part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 1 says, below the title/author listing, says
    8:53:58  6hr 49 min left
    And I touch the title to start it playing, and it shows the little red marker on the progress bar at about the right position for 2 hours having been played, and as often as not, there is a little flash and then the red marker is back at the far left side and it starts playing again at the beginning. 
    These are books from various sources--today's example was a Librivox download, others have been books on CD, and checking in iTunes verifies that they have been correctly coded as audiobooks and 'remember playback position' is automatically checked.
    It's a PITA hunting through an 8 hour long recording with only the crude control of the little progress bar and 15 second skip forward/back to find the spot I left off.
    It doesn't happen with the same titles in iTunes on the computer. 

    Clicked reply by accident, and now can't edit the post. 
    Has anyone else seen the same problem?
    These are books from CDs or librivox recordings, linked into one or a few multiple-hour files with Join Together.  I have never bought an audiobook from iTunes so don't know if those are handled better.

  • Podcasts marked as played keep being downloaded again and again

    On iphone 5, since ios8 there are a number of podcast episodes which, no matter how many times I mark them as played (and they subsequently get deleted) the next day they appear again in my feed, and are automatically downloaded.  very frustrating.

    Unfortunately, I have not found syncing to help at all. 
    I listen to iTunes while running, and if I sync all Podcasts without a playlist, I have to stop, press the button, hear the voice go through x many podcasts, and click on the next one.  If I sync to a certain playlist, I am able to play all of them in a row, but they will not be marked as played, last played, skipped, or last skipped.  Why are these choices there if we cannot use them? 
    If I do not sync, they will occasionally randomly mark some played, even if unplayed, but then leave all of my played marked as unplayed.  Most of the time all are marked as unplayed even when played all the way through.  Since the "last played" and "last skipped" options are chosen for my list, one shouldn't have to play all the way through in order to see the dates of when they were last played or last skipped.
    I have searched all over the net for a solution, but can find none.  The best solution I had was to get rid of this iTunes version and go back to an earlier one, but unfortunately, the new one was replaced as a package with other software installs, without my choosing to install it.  Can Apple please help?

  • How to view long chapter titles without abbreviation for audiobooks in music app?

    Many of the names of the chapters of the audiobooks I listen to in the music app are extremely long (i.e., more than 22 characters).  However, I cannot find a way to display more than the first ~22 characters.
    When I start playing an audiobook, I click the little button in the upper right corner of the screen.  This displays all of the chapter titles.  However, it displays only one line per title, and if the title is longer than ~22 characters, it abbreviates with an ellipsis.  Clicking on the title just causes it to play.  Side scrolling doesn't seem to be available.  I can find no way to display the whole title.  This is extremely frustrating, because I like to know what I'm listening to, and I sometimes like to be able to choose a chapter based on the title.
    Is it possible to display long chapter titles for audiobooks on iOS, or is this a missing feature that I need to ask Apple to incorporate into a future iOS build?
    PS It would also be nice if the app displayed the chapter titles on the playback screen (i.e., on the screen one sees without having to click the button in the upper right hand corner). I'll suggest this to Apple as well.  If others do the same, athttp://www.apple.com/feedback/ perhaps they'll listen.
    PPS It would also be nice if audiobooks could be displayed by author, the way music can be displayed by artist, on iOS.  Another piece of feedback I'll be giving Apple.  Please do the same if you'd also like this feature.

  • Burning tunes and having them marked as played?

    I want to set up some random playlists to burn to CD for my travels. The situation I am having is this.
    I have a Smart playlist set up. The critieria are that 1) they have been added since the beginning of 2010 (so they pick up new stuff) 2) they have not been played in the last thirty days.
    The problem I am facing is that if I burn the playlist to cd, the songs are not marked as being played in the last 30 days and they can show up on another CD.
    So once I have the playlist burnt to cd, how do I mark/tag... whatever that these have been listed to?
    Thanks.

    This might be ok for a few songs, but there are usually 150+ songs I would need to do that with.
    Was hoping that there might be a "select all, right click, mark as played" option hidden somewhere.

  • HEY ! I AM GETTING JUST A MUSIC NOTE MARK WHILE PLAYING TRAILERS IN ITUNES STORES

    HEY ! I AM GETTING JUST A MUSIC NOTE MARK WHILE PLAYING TRAILERS IN ITUNES STORES.PLEASE HELP!

    Shadow--hey thanks for the reply. No all the songs are in C drive on my computer. I do have an external drive as backup (Sync-Toy) but all my songs are on C. I was thinking of trying to delete ITUNES and Quiktime and reinstall. Do you think that would work? Jeff

  • How to properly sync own video files with played / unplayed state?

    Since iOS7 (I think) the Videos app on iOS is no longer showing the "unplayed" blue dot next to a movie files that I have added manually to iTunes.
    In old iTunes versions, at least iTunes showed me inside the library view which movie files had been played with the blue dot.
    Now with the Yosemite Upgrade and new iTunes, when I go to "Movies" (left hand side icon) then on the middle section on "Home Videos" then I get my old listing of video files, but there is no played/unplayed state icon. There is a column "Plays" and "Last Played", but those do not indicate if the video was watched fully or only just a second of it.
    When going to my iPhone sync view however, the seen/unseed blue dots do show up. But in that view, I cannot delete video files. Usually I delete videos files after I watched them, and currently it is impossible for me to delete the video files, as I cannot see which ones are seen. Plus, on the iOS Video app in iOS 8.1, I still cannot see which videos were played - on top of that, when I delete a video file from there, and sync my iphone, it actually copies the video file to the iPhone again :-(
    Any thoughts, apart from "Dude you have a wacked workflow"? ;-)

    Hi,
    in relation to on to the above could you please share some thoughts on using AUSST in an enterprise environment spread over 50 countries i relation how to setup the AUSST, taking WAN Lines into considerations. We are using SCCM for application deployment and patching. Is there a comparising model for AUSST vs. SCCM?
    i Get the picture using AUSST in a company with one huge Building using the LAN capacity, but what technologies are used to replicate over WAN etc?

  • Podcasts App/Stations not showing correct played/unplayed status

    Hi,
    there is an issue with the played/unplayed status of podcasts in the iOS Podcasts app (in iTunes everything is shown correctly, though).
    When I sync new podcasts to the Podcasts app via iTunes, the majority of podcasts are not showing up as unplayed in the stations I have created. It seems that the sync from iTunes is not doing something like a "refresh" of this status on the iOS device after a sync has completed.
    To fix this, I currently go into the edit section of each station and de-activate the switch for showing only unplayed and activate it right away again (without leaving that screen in the meantime). After these two clicks, I confirm and leave the edit screen. Now everything is showing up correctly with the unplayed status.
    Please fix this, Apple.
    Thanks
