Music library and podcasts
I like to listen to music by selecting all tracks to play randomly.
However, since I install the podcast application, this also includes the podcasts, which I do not want to be included when I actually want to listen to music.
So is there a way to tell the music library to ignore all the podcasts?
(btw, I own a e51 if that matters)
I am having this very same problem. ever since I allowed some new updates, everything changes on my computer. my desktop icons disappear, all my itunes songs vanish, my websites favorites are wiped out. it's a tremendous pain to have to create new favorites everytime I turn my computer back on again.
I've seen that the files do not actually disappear (for example the itunes music is still located in my old files, but the library shows nothing.
basically my problem is that each time I power on, my desktop appears clean as a whistle, with just my main drive and my priceless My book icon showing. all my 22+ other icons have dissappeared. so I navigate to the old desktop file, command c to copy all the desktop icons, commnand paste them back onto the now clean new desktop, eveything now looks good, I do the same thing for itunes, find the missing files, import them back into itunes....but then when I shut down and power back up, the pasted icons and newly imported music AGAIN all disappear.
extremely frustrating, but I'm determined to find the solution.

How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?
I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.
If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
Select your shuffle in iTunes. There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary).
Click on Music there. This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle. Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing. Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
Click on the Podcasts tab next. This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle. Sync Podcasts is checkmarked. Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle. Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list. To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist. If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists. You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu. To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position. The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing). -

How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?
Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks
iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

i purchased a song on my Ipod Touch 4 GEN. and i listened to it not 5 mins before i synced it with Itunes...then i looked in my Ipod music library and itunes library...GONE. but when i go to download it, like with Apps when if you have purchased an app and it get's deleted...you can have it back for FREE

HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

For example, I am looking at Slash's Apocalyptic Love and click the arrow to Show in iTunes Store. I then click back on my Music Library and instead of seeing Slash's album still, iTunes has reset my view and I will now be back in the letter A's. I then have to scroll down or hit "S" to get back down in my list to find the Slash album again and return to what I was doing. Minor inconvenience, but an annoying quirk.
Previous versions of iTunes kept your place and remembered where you were in the music list.
Anyone experience this or have a solution that I'm missing?I complained about this the day iTunes 11 came out, they clearly don't give a hoot. It's super annoying, cause I get a lot of free music and then I listen to it in one playlist, look for it in my library to delete it, when I switch back, I have to scroll all the way down again again. And god forbid you are in your library when it switches songs while you're looking at something, cause it automatically switches to the song playing, and then you have to scroll back to where you were. Seems to me if it's a feature it used to have, it shouldn't be too hard to add it to an update...

Basically my iPhone 4 asked for my Apple ID and I entered it thinking it was just some check or something and then I've just been scrolling through my music library and there is a whole U2 album there and i have never even heard of U2... i clicked on one of the songs to see what it was and it came up with "This device is already associated with an apple ID. If you download past purchases with your apple ID, you cannot auto download or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
I Can't delete the album like I can with my other music from my phone and I don't really want to connect my phone to my laptop incase I have been hacked and it could give the person all access to my phone?
Pde lease help me out, I don't know what's happened:(Do the half billion copies of the album they gave away count as "sales"?
Let's see... An album has to sell 500,000 copies to go gold, 1,000,000 copies to go Platinum, 10,000,000 copies to go diamond... What will they come up with for 500,000,000 copies sold?
Something radioactive would be cool... though difficult to display safely on the wall... -

I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week. Help! Thanks.
Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.

How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5. -
Transferring Library and Podcast List from One Computer to Another
IPOD Classic.
I have set up Itunes on Compaq XP laptop and have my library and Podcast subcription list on it.
NOw I have a new desktop Gateway with Vista and have downloaded the itunes program from the apple site.
I desire to get everything from the laptop over to the new computer. so that I dont have to go and resubcribe to all of the podcasts on the new computer,and so that I dont have to try to figure out how to resave everything on ipod to current Vista computer.
How do I accomplish the above?
When I plug Ipod into new computer it asks me if I want to erase and sync to the new Itunes on new computer but it doesnt ask me if I want to transfer from current Ipod anything to the new computer.
Is there a file on the old computer that I can find that stores all the info and just transfer it over using a USB or an external Hard Drive.
thanks in advance for you help.I'm having a similar problem, however my old computer died. I cannot get access to it. I'm trying to get my old itunes library associated with my new computer now, but it seems like I need to have access to my old computer? Is there any way to transfer my library to my new computer without needing to access the old one?

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod touch too. Can I move these back?
weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
cheers
