Music content deleted when downloading podcasts

I was downloading some recent podcast episodes on my touch 4 and all my music content was deleted. I synced again and the music came back but many podcast episodes were missing. I tried again after refreshing my podcast library. Now not only is all my music removed from the iPod again but so are all but 2 of my podcasts. I can't get them back on the iPod from my computer. This happened once before but a reboot and sync fixed it but not this time.
How does this happen in the first place?

I got it working. I was able to get into quickly get into preferences and change check podcast to from hourly to manual. From there I deleted all my podcasts and resubscribed. It appears that somewhere along the line one of the my podcast subscriptions went south.

  • Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts, like in the older version of iTunes?  I find it frustrating that I see only one at a time now !  Any suggestions please?

    Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts,
    like in the older version of iTunes?  I find it frustrating that I see only one
    download at a time now !  Any suggestions please?

    Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
    I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
    My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
    I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

  • Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?

    Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts.  Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  Doesn't happen every time.  Using Windows 7.  What can I do?  The files seem to be there but I don't know if they are being backed up to cloud.

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • System Crash when downloading Podcasts

    Using Powerbook with System 10.5.2, iTunes 7.6.2
    When downloading Podcasts a black-shade system crash occurs requiring restart.
    This only started on May 9, previously everything was fine.
    It doesn't matter what size or what Podcast, within 60 seconds of downloading, the system crashes every time.
    Any fixes?

    Hey Ya' All!
    Thank you Chas, you are right.
    I appreciate the posts, but to a couple of you above this post, please read more carefully instead of jumping to conclusions. I am not suggesting the cause. I do not know why it happened the way it did. I am honestly relating the experience exactly as it happened in real time at exactly the same time in the download process six weeks apart.
    I am a very experienced user and can only say it was weird. I have never had anything like that happen before. BTW: we own both Mac and Windows based computers and am a fan of both. So please, there is no need to be sell me on Macs.
    Impossible as it seems (to me too really) there are other posts with roughly similar experiences (search "blue screen of death"). That is why I took the time to add this. Maybe someone will be a little more helpful.

  • Artwork gets deleted when Syncing podcasts

    I've had this issue forever and dammit it must be fixed. I download a podcast directly from the Touch. When I sync with iTunes the podcast artwork ALWAYS gets deleted. When I disconnect the touch and play my podcasts, there is no artwork at all, just the bowling pin/armless person thing with circles around it that is there by default. ***? This is a piddly thing but losing the artwork *****.

    I assume you mean tothe Touch over the Wi-Fi.
    If you don't find a fix for this, an alternative solution is to download Podcasts to iTunes from the iTunes Store and then Sync them to your Touch. I suggest this because there have been small issues with apps not working when downloaded directly to the Touch and this sounds as though it could be a similar problem.

  • IPod music player crash when playing podcast, exported from GarageBand

    Hello!
    Before start, I'm using this soft/tools: GarabeBand '11 (6.0.4.) on Mac OS X(10.7.2.), podcast, submited in iTunes, and iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4. All software is up to date.
    So. I have a podcast which Is playing fine everywhere, on Mac, iPod etc. But the latest episode I did yesterday, I made with GarageBand to try "Chapter Marks" feature which I did not used before. Then I export podcast to my Mac and upload to my server to make available in iTunes Store as I usualy do.
    Then I downloaded latest episode of my own podcast in iTunes, transfer it to iPod, and found that this episode cannot be played on it! I mean, it transfered well, it shown in episodes list of my podcast, but when I tap to play - music player app just crashing all the times. All previous episodes works fine, so I guess the problem with latest episode is because of GarageBand.
    I've tried many different export settings in GarageBand: AAC Encoder with Higher Quality (192 kbps), iTunes Plus (256 kbps) and Custom settings 320 kbps. Also I tried all options in "Quality" dropdown menu in Custom settings: High, Higher and Highest.
    But result is still same - this episode, exported from GarageBand, crashing on iPod (although It can be played normaly in iTunes on my Mac).
    Would be glad for any suggestion how to solve this. I feel very bad cause subscribers of my podcast downloading "broke" episode :-(
    p.s.
    Here is podcast in iTunes Store - http://itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/daniel-lesden-presents-rave/id423519688
    Here is RSS feed - feed://ravepodcast.com/downloads/podcast.xml
    The problem with latest episode, #017.

    I examined the episode media file. In QuickTime Player 7 it shows the chapter images, which are 160x160, and plays normally.
    However in QuickTime Player X it doesn't show the images, but opens to a very large black player. The info in QT7 looks like this:
    You will notice that although at the bottom it says 'Normal Size 160 x 160 pixels', in the top section it refers to a JPEG at 6227 x 6227 which I suppose is an embedded image, though I can see no evidence of one (unless it's plain black): an image this size wouldn't show on an iPod and would very possibly crash it.
    I can't explain how this got there - I've never used GarageBand to make a podcast - but you should have an investigation and try to locate and remove it; it's very likely the cause of the problem.

  • Problems w/ photos being deleted when downloading

    Hello, can anyone tell me why my photos that have already been downloaded on my ipod are deleted when I download new photos. This happens every time I go to download new photos to the ipod. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I download my photos manually. I can't seem to find an anwser to this anywhere. Please help. Thanks

    I have heard of this happening, but I never saw a resolution. Sorry.
    The only thing I may could suggest is moving the contents of your photo folder into a folder temporarily. Leave that photo folder that your iPod syncs with empty. Have your iPod sync and clear all of the photos off. Disconnect. Then move those photos back into that folder. Reconnect and have it sync. If you have already tried that, then I'm sorry I couldn't help anymore.

  • Streaming music cuts out when downloading

    I have an old Airport Express (802.11g). When streaming music from my MacBook Pro, the music cuts out when I start my downloads (usually when the download speed reaches 0.5mb/s or above on Bittorrent/Unison). Two questions:
    1) Is this a bug or just due to the limitation of the device?
    2) I am planning on purchasing the new Apple TV to stream videos from my MacBook to my TV. Would my current Airport Express handle this (i.e. downloading and streaming videos to Apple TV) or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express to the latest 802.11n?
    Thanks in advance.

    Most probably Premiere Elements is causing the rotation you are experiencing
    That is because the recent versions of Premiere Elements do not recognize the rotation indicator set in a photo file.  However the Photoshop Elements Organizer does recognize a photo orientation indicator set within the photo file when displaying thumbnails and displaying the photo file.
    At this point for this slide show,
    it might be simplest to initiate an edit in Photoshop Elements of each of the portrait orinetation photo files that are in this slide show -- so that the pixels within the photo file itself can be rotated and saved as a new photo file. .
    In the future,
    -- it would probably be simpler to multiple select thumbnails in the Organizer and rotate those photo thumbnails (once 90 degrees  and then a second time back in the opposite direction 90 degrees).
    -- most cameras that set rotation indicators in a photo file also have an option not to set that indicator which then usually results in portrait orientation photos displaying sideways in the Elements Organizer until you rotate them yourself. (to me this is a second choice approach but it is a possibility)

  • Receiving Error 9006 when downloading Podcast

    Hey guys,
    I got an Error when trying to download Podcast: it will randomly stop downloading showing Errorcode 9006. 1 Podcast will always start from beginning when this happens and I press "retry", others will usually take of from where they stop and continue to their end.
    What I've tried so far:
    1. Reinstalled iTunes
    2. Restarted Machine
    3. Flushed Ipconfig
    4. Checked the Host file
    5. Disabled my firewall and antivirus (Kaspersky 2014)
    The network and internet connection are stable and working.
    Anybody got an idea?

    I was having the same error 9006 trying to download a rented movie on iTunes. I read on another board it might have something to do with Internet Explorer 8 and iTunes using the same downloader. My Explorer 8 had recently quit working but I didn't care because I use Firefox. However, I then started getting the 9006 error on iTunes. On Windows 7 you have to go to the control panel. Click on "uninstall a program", in the uninstall window go to the left column and click on "Turn Window features on or off", this will open another window with the Windows features check marked. Uncheck Internet Explorer, then restart your computer. After it restarts, go back to the uninstall programs feature again and click "Turn Window features on or off", put a check mark next to Internet Explorer and restart the computer again. This fixed the problem with Internet Explorer and iTunes started the download without any errors popping up.

  • When downloading podcasts all network connections are used

    Hi,
    I have a problem when running iTunes 10.4 under OS X 10.6.8. If iTunes is downloading Podcasts, then all of the systems connections are used. I cannot browse using Safari to many but not all sites. I can resolve the address of the web page, but I cannot get there and get any data. If I quit iTunes all of the Safari pages load.
    Anyone else see this?
    OS X and iTunes are both patched to the latest.

    Found an answer to my own question.
    When a podcast is downloading, it makes as many connections to the Akamia network as Akamai allows to get the download faster. This has the problem of making pages in Safari that are hosted on Akamai data services to not load becasue you are already using all available traffic for the podcast. Either stop the podcast or go to pages that do not host on Akamai until the pdcast has completed.
    You would think there was a way to throttle that.

  • Errors 3260/3259 When Downloading Podcasts

    I am trying to download a few podcasts from iTunes, but am running into a few errors. Typically, it will start with fast download speeds, then gradually crawling to a stop, loading a few kb before coming up with an error. The first three say "stopped (err = -3260)", but the rest say "stopped (err = -3259)". I have no trouble downloading songs from iTunes.
    I have not recently downloaded podcasts, but when I have tried before I have had no issues.
    Possibly related, I have had trouble downloading mp3s online in general lately. I have tried both from Safari and from Firefox. However, using IE in parallels has worked so I haven't gotten around to trying to fix that.
    Any ideas?

  • My Music Gets Deleted When I Close Itunes

    Ok I am having a horrible time with Itunes, I have a lot of songs and about a week ago I rented a movie, which has never worked for me. When I went to play the movie my computer froze and I had to turn it off. When I turned it back on all my music was gone, not from my computer just from Itunes. Then I played around with it and I found out the my music gets deleted anytime I turn off Itunes. I un installed and reinstalled three times still no luck. I tried a couple of other things but to no avail. So please help

    when installing itunes, do you search your computer for mp3s(music)?
    I strongly recommend using a Library path like C:\Music\ as your Itunes Library,
    That path is easier to user than the normal one Itunes provides, because its short and also easy to find if you want to copy your music lets say to a mp3 player or a external hardrive.
    That way you can just reinstall itunes, go to edit->options->advanced (i dont know the exact english words) and set your library to your Music folder.
    Now you can simply add your folder to your library (make sure you uncheck "copy music to my itunes folder first, and afterwards recheck that option if you need it - I am unsure if Itunes would just double your library if u didnt).
    Adding folders to your Library is in the Data menu.
    If closing itunes now it should save the library just fine.

  • Why do i keep getting error mesaage 3259 when downloading podcasts

    I subscribe to various podcasts and i have noticed recently since updating apple software that a simple download podcast keeps failing and i get "stopped err 3259". why is this. it is very frustrating.
    Can anyone help
    thanks

    I Googled an found no good solutions. II would try:
    - Making sure that you have the latest version of iTunes, 10.6.
    - Disable firewall and antivirus.
    What iOS is currently on the iPod?
