Missing episodes from iTunes.

Has anyone noticed missing episodes on iTunes? I purchased a season pass for "Please Like Me" and episode 4 is missing.

Whether iTunes has synced all six episodes to your Apple TV or is planning on streaming them, all six episodes should appear on your TV. (When iTunes is running on your Mac, otherwise +only synced+ items appear on your Apple TV.) Do you have "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV" selected in iTunes, under the Summary tab?
Although I don't have a definitive answer, what I'd try is:
1) Quit and restart iTunes. Ensure that your Apple TV can see iTunes, perhaps by downloading some podcast to your Mac and verifying that you can see it on your Apple TV.
2) In iTunes, switch to Custom Sync and then go to the TV Shows tab and sync All Episodes of just that one show. Remember to press the Sync button.
3) Try restarting the Apple TV by holding both the Menu and Down arrow buttons for several seconds (six?).
4) Try playing the troublesome episodes in iTunes. Ensure that they're marked as Not New (right click the episodes and select "Mark as Not New" from the context menu).
Good luck!

Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

Hi, I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes and would like to copy it to a usb flashdrive to watch on my tv which has a usb port, can anyone tell me if this is possible please? I can see the tv episode in my Library but i can't drag to usb drive

Hi
I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes, I would like to watch it on my tv, not the computer.
My tv has a usb port, what I would like to do is copy tv episode to usb flash drive and then play on my tv.
I have tried dragging the episode from the library to the usb drive, I thought I had been successful but when I looked it was just text.
Can anyone advise if it is possible please ?

It won't work, they are linked to your account and can only be played via iTunes on a computer, an iOS device or Apple TV. You might be able to get a cable to link your Mac to your TV so that you can play/mirror it through your TV e.g. if it's a Macbook with an HDMI socket and your TV also has an HDMI socket then you could try an HDMI to HDMI cable (Apple do them, and electrical stores should also have them) - I've used one to play iTunes TV programmes on my TV (though I don't think that I got sound through my TV, only my Mac).

I bought a TV episode from iTunes (I have version 10 installed), but when I try to play it on my laptop, it keeps stopping and starting, with the voices out of sync with the action. The action is stop/start as well., and occasionally it skips 5 or 10 seconds altogether, making it impossible to watch. What settings can I change to fix the problem.

Repair your QuickTime.
Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

Episodes from iTunes

I recently purchased some LOST episodes from iTunes to watch on my G3 iBook but when I play them they run really bad. (Lagging video mostly) So I assume its my iBook (I've had it for awhile). So I burned the episodes to CD (I have a CDR/DVD Player on my iBook) and figured I would bring it to work and burn the episodes on DVD using iDVD (I have a G5 with a DVD Burner at work) so that I can just watch the episodes I bought as a DVD on my iBook. But when I try to drag the movie to my project in iDVD I get a windwo that says Unsupported file type: Invalid Video. When I click get info on one of the epsiodes it says its a MPEG-4 Video File. Can anyone tell me what's wrong or if there is a different way to watch the episodes I bougth from iTunes on my G3 iBook without it lagging so much. Thanks for any help you can give me.
iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your G3 iBook doesn't have the computing horsepower necessary to play the clips properly.
TV episodes from iTunes can be copied to CD/DVD data discs for backup only.
It is not possible to use them to create a DVD that can be played by DVD players.

Download TV episode from Itunes

If you download a tv episode from Itunes do you need internet connection to watch it?

As long as it has been fully downloaded then no, you should be able to watch it whilst offline. On an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch it should download into the Videos app.

Missing Episodes in iTunes Music Store

I've been doing this show for some time now, and I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, and so far nothing has helped. Here's the URL for the feed:
http://www.paperbagradio.com/rss.xml
I've pinged it and it hasn't helped, and it's been recieving the ping. On the iTunes music store, they're only listing the first 13 episodes of the feed. But if you were to subscribe to the show through iTunes, it would download everything in the feed, not just those first 13 episodes. How can I get iTunes to show every episode in the feed in the music store?

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.paperbagradio.com%2Frss. xml
It helps to make sure that the feed is valid, in this case there is an error in your feed. You need to change the second line. Make "DTDs" = "dtds"
Then in lines 37 / 38 change it from
<itunes:category text="Comedy">
</itunes:category>
to
<itunes:category text="Comedy" />
Finally on line 1168 - change "isn't" to "is not" some times the " ' " will cause issues with xml.
These might seem like small changes - but they should help.

Does anyone know how to delete a podcast episode from iTunes?

Hello,
Myself and some comrades have been producing a podcast for a few weeks now. We were approved to be on the iTunes store, and subsequently available as a subscription thru iTunes... The problem is that for a few days the hosting site we're using wasn't working and we couldn't upload mp3 files, so we were publishing episodes and for the audio we were uploading them onto an alternate site and linking the audio to the published podcast so they would still be available for subscibers thru iTunes. Now, the hosting site is working again, and I'm trying to edit the episodes that were published using links to the alternate sites and change them so that they're using the audio from my hosting site. I've editted the episodes on the hosting site, but even after doing a 'podcast refresh' (ping) the old episodes are still showing up on itunes...
Anyone have any ideas on how to delete or edit individual episodes on itunes without deleting the entire podcast???
If you have an answer to this problem, or if this isn't making sense but u think u might know what i'm trying to ask please email me at iwantitnow (at) hush (nospam) com
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
so here's the itunes store URL for the podcast i'm referring to:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=321340618
here's the URL for the podcast blog:
http://anotherworldispossible.podbean.com/
I'm not sure if that's what ur asking for, but in case i'm wrong, here's what i think is the feed url:
http://anotherworldispossible.podbean.com/feed/
You'll see what i mean if you see the podcast blog site, the post at the top, "Anarcho-Syndicalism" is published by uploading the mp3 onto the hosting site, the post underneath that, "the coming insurrection (part 2)" is when the upload function wasn't working, and it just has a link to the mp3 hosted on another site. (itunes subscribers still can listen to it, and it doesn't appear different, but for visitors who usually listen using a live stream from the host, it looks different) I'm trying to go from the second post's setup to the first post's setup without re-posting it and having the same file show up twice in itunes which has already happened. also, since i did that already (deleted the post, then re-published it), is there a way to delete the first file (episode) that still shows in itunes for subscribers to our channel??
thanks so much for your help!

Remove missing music from iTunes database

I have been converting my music from one format to another and (because I don't know how to replace the original version rather than just creating a new copy) deleting the old version. Doing so leaves me with two references in iTunes to the relevant music, one copy of which refers to a now missing track.
How can I rebuild the database so that the duplicate and now missing tracks are deleted but the data for the new versions including last played time is untouched?
I presume I can rebuild the database by deleting all music from iTunes but not the disk and then adding my iTunes folder again but I also presume that this will delete all the last played times and ratings.

you might find this script useful:
Super Remove Dead Tracks
Surveys iTunes for tracks whose files are no longer available (so-called "dead" tracks, as indicated by a "!" next to their names) and removes them. Progress is breezily indicated every 500 tracks while iTunes is the frontmost app.

Re-downloading missing music from iTunes

After losing an external HD a year or so ago with my itunes purchased items on - when the new itunes feature of re-downloading previously purchased items was launched, I thought, great I can get all my old stuff back.
However, when using the feature, I find that that my iTunes Music DB still has the items listed in its database (although with the exclamation mark saying that it cant locate the item) so it does not show them as missing items.
On my iPad all is fine and I downloaded my 900 odd missing items.
How do I(if I can) get these items back on my back?
My only idea is to manually remove the exclaimed items from ITunes then try the featrure again from my mac.
Any other ideas?
Many Thanks

Can I batch download missing tracks from iTunes Match?

For some reason thousands of my tracks have gone missing in iTunes. No idea what can have happened, unless it was a consequence of messing with TuneSpan...! The exclamation mark icon appears next to the missing tracks. I can play them and download them if I go through a series of clicks so I could download tham all one at a time (indeed I started to do so) but to complete this job is going to take hours and risk giving me repetitive strain injury. Is there a way to get iTunes to download all the missing ytracks from Match?

Thanks. This will save me one click per item, but I still have to click each one individually a couple of times (ie to make it 'play' in order to get rid of the and then press Escape to dismiss the dialog box that comes up about searching for other missing files. (If I select multiple items and control-click for the contextual amenu, Download does not appear – only when I have gone through all of the above to turn into the iCloud download icon.)

New tv episode from iTunes "can't be played" on my 80GB 5G iPod Video

I have a 6-month-old 80 GB iPod Video, and I recently downloaded one of the free CW premiere episodes from the iTunes store (specifically the S3 "Supernatural" premiere, entitled "The Magnificent Seven.")
Every time I sync my iPod, I get the same (annoying) error message popping up:
"The Magnificent Seven" was not copied to the iPod "(my ipod name)" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
The software for my iPod is the most up to date, as is my iTunes software (just updated that today.) All other tv shows previously purchased from the iTunes store (and other mp4 files I uploaded on my own) all play with no problem.
I'm really hoping that this does not mean that any future video purchases from the iTunes store will not play on my newly outdated iPod. I'm wondering if (well, again hoping) it's a limitation because it was a "free download."
Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for your help!

See if this helps.
