Music Works - Podcasts Don't

Just got a new Shuffle. When I load songs onto it they play fine. However, when I load podcasts (DL'd from the iTunes Store) they will not play. The Shuffle blinks orange/green alternately indicating there is nothing on the Shuffle.
iTunes clearly showed them loading...yet according to the Shuffle there is nothing there.
All my other iPods work fine
Any ideas, kids?

I had the same problem, but then converted the podcast to 128 AAC and it played just fine.

HT4085 are third party media apps (youtube, grooveshark, etc.) grouped in the muted or unmuted category? Since music and podcast (default apps) DO mute and games DON'T mute I thought it worth asking.

I purchased and downloaded the Family Pack of IWork. I recently purchased another computer (MacBook Pro) and I want to be able to use IWork on the new

I don't think I should have to purchase anything since a family pack covers 5 computers in the same household. Please, if someone knows how to go about this and what I need to do so please let me know. Thank you.
You didn't keep the download for future use?

Not really sur easy you would be having that problem. Mine works. You might try RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

Please help! I'm unable to access content on my iPod Classic while it is connected to iTunes. The iPod itself shows up and is set to manual management, but I am unable to view or play any of the content on it (music, movies, podcasts etc.).

I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!
I just downloaded the iTunes program.
Very confused, pleaseee help ...

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

My iphone 4s deleted all of my books, music, and podcasts from my phone and now will not allow me to put them back on there.

As stated in the title, I was redownloading old purchases. After transferring a tv show onto my iphone it would not allow me to transfer another one. I wasn't able to locate the show on my phone, so then I checked my music. All of my music and podcasts were missing. My books were showing up at first, but then as soon as I closed out of one that I was reading and clicked on a different one they all vanished as well. I tried dragging on a song, a book, a show, and I kept getting the circle with the line through it. I have no idea what to do. My phone has always been set up to manually manage music and videos. When I selected to sync all music it still wouldn't do anything.
I've also recently, within the past 4 hours, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes because it kept crashing when I was trying to download my old purchases. I've done it before and haven't had any issues with it deleting anything before. I'm in the process of restoring my phone in the hopes that this will work, but I don't know if it will.
Anyone out there that can help me?

iPhone 3G is Old technology. When it was launched it had iOS 2.0. Currently, the highest it can go is iOS 4.2.1 and therefore can not handle many newer applications. As you have recorded, it is giving good service for which it has been designed.
Needless to say, if you want to use applications as stated, you must have at least 3GS, whose current is iOS 6.1.2. On the lighter side; Rather than updating iOS they are asking you to update iPhone (Technology). Cheers

Can't Sync Music or Podcasts to iPhone4s

Since updating to iOS 7 I've had increasing problems with both Music and Podcasts. I have an iPhone 4s runing 7.0.3 and a Mac with an older OS Snow Leopard 10.6. I'm running the latest iTunes: 11.1.2
It started with Podcast where it would show up as being on my iPhone, but I'd get "This episode is Temporarily Unavailable" it says it's there, but it's not. This tarted with only a few Pocasts but now all are gone and will not re-sync.
Then I created a playlist on my mac and synced my iPhone. I sync by plugging it into my Mac. I have "Sync Music" checked in iTunes along with "Selected Playlists, artists, albums and genres" > I have a number of playlists checked. I have also tried syncing Artists. I followed some instructions in another thread saying I should uncheck "Sync Music" then recheck it. Doing that erased all the music I had on my iphone. When I re-checked, iTunes says it's synced, but the actual files are not transferred. I can so to a song on my iphone. The album art is there and it says the song is there, but it won't play. It just skipped to the next song...and the next and next since the actual files are not there.
According to the Itunes screen on my Mac, the playlists are listed as included on my phone, but they do not show up on the iPhone side. The "free space" bar along the bottom of itunes shows that it is mostly full, but that is also incorrect.
I have tried to Restore from a backup (a point before I wiped all my music) but that did not work either.
I would rather not have to do a full resotre to default if I can help it. I have aton of apps and it would be a huge job.
Have anyone else had a simliar problem? Anyone know how to get the actual files transferred even though itunes seems to think that it's been done?
Thanks

Thanks for the response. I did try shutting the phone off, but that didn't help. I ended up just deleting all the "empty" playlists I had on my iPhone and tried checking and unchecking the "Sync Music" checkbox a few times. Odd thing is that it keeps re-checking itself one second it's unchecked and re-sycing and the next it's checked again. So I did the other obvious thing that I hadn't tried and re-booted my Mac and my phone again. Now that the playlists were deleted on the phone side, it's re-syncing again. This time it's taking the hours I would expect as it it now copying songs over... so I might have it working.
I did it first with the podcasts, it took a while to re-copy, but then still came up with the "this podcast it temporarily unavailable. So that is still messed up. I have no playlists, but an copying by artist instead. I'll have to wait another few hours to see if it worked.
I turned off the "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings" like you mentioned. maybe after a few more repeated resyncs it will work.
The song by song hours long copy is a good sign though. thanks

Music and Podcast cannot be synched, but Apps can

Hi.
My iPhone 4 is running the latest iOS. And I am running iTunes 10.7 on my Mac OS X.
I can sync Apps like Whatsapp and Skype.
But I couldn't get my Music and Podcast synced...
Can anyone point out a solution? Life without podcast is difficult.

The images folder just displays download click to download videos.
I even tried the tips and tricks section which asked me to connect the phone as a USB and check for errors, but that did not work for my problem. I still don't see the images and sound files.
I can only see them when i connect to the PC and use the Nokia Phone Browser.
The firmware version i have installed is V 4.0726.2.0.1, updated on 26-06-2007.
Any suggestions will help.

Can't sync music or podcasts after update to iOS4

Just upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4. Since doing this, iTunes can no longer sync music or podcasts to the iPhone. Only the apps will sync. iTunes claims the files cannot be found - despite the fact that they are all listed correctly in iTunes and all play fine if I double-click on them in iTunes. I've done a complete reset of the iPhone and configured it from scratch and the problem remains. I'm at a total loss as to what to do. Everything worked fine before the update. The only possible oddity in my set-up is that the music files in iTunes are stored on another Mac in the house, mounted as a shared drive - but this hasn't caused any issues previously.
All my computers are Macs running 10.6.4 and all latest updates. Help!!

Problem solved itself - eventually. Solution was to reboot the computer and reconnect to iTunes. When iPhone was connected to iTunes a message appeared which said that the iPhone restore had been previously interrupted and did I want to resume, restart or cancel. Ironically, whilst choosing resume and restart failed every time, by selecting cancel the system proceeded to correctly sync all the music. Go figure.

Move Itunes, Music and Podcast to a new PC

I want to move ITunes software, Music and Podcast from a Windows XP to a Windows 7 PC and keep the Podcast and Music? I don't want the IPod Shuffle to be resync. It wants to clear the Podcast and Music that's on the IPod Shuffle.

This document describes some methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
The most precise and efficient method is the one named External drive. If you are proficient in networking Windows computers, you can use the same method and transfer the files over a network connection, instead of using an external drive. NOTE: Depending on network speed, using an external drive may still be faster.
Although there are many steps in the document, I'll summarize how it works.
There is a folder called iTunes in your computer's user data Music folder. By default, they are located here (for Windows)
Win XP - \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Win 7 - \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
If you are using the standard (default) iTunes settings, that is good, because ALL of your iTunes data is in that iTunes folder. You are copying that complete iTunes folder to an external drive.
On the new computer, after you install iTunes and run it at least once, it also has an iTunes folder. From the external drive, (with iTunes NOT running) you are replacing that new iTunes folder with the existing iTunes folder from your old PC. The next time you run iTunes on your new PC, it uses the iTunes folder from your old PC and iTunes should look like it did on your old PC, with all the content. Since it's the same iTunes library, the iPod should not need a "resync."
When you read the long detailed procedure in the document, you can keep my summary in mind so that you "see the big picture." If you are not using the default iTunes settings, the document covers what to do. You can post back with any specific questions.

I'm unable to play music or podcasts using the iphone4 speakers.

I tried all the things that I read on other threads isuggested as well and I still cannot get the volume buttons to work when I try to play music or podcasts. I read a post on another site where someone suggested the phone is "stuck" or confused and is in Doc mode. For example, I am trying to play music right now and my phone thinks it's playing and the source selected is "Doc Connector" (my other option is Apple TV). I know there is not a problem with the speakers or the buttons themselves because I can play a voice memo using the phone speakers and the volume buttons work. Thanks.

if both itunes on the computer and on the phone dont show any then apple must not be offering that service in your country

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Enhanced podcast (don't see chapter and pictures in podcast app on iphone or ipad)

hi people !
i create enhanced podcast, and try that podcast on itunes app on my pc. Everything work ok, except pictures but i know that this is bug with curent version of iTunes. Then i opet same m4a enhanced podcast in quicktime app on my pc, again everything work ok, i see chapters and i see pictures. Then i put same file on my server, i see that podcast in my podcast app on my iphone and ipad and when i stream it , i don't see pic and logo for chapters. when i scan my enhanced m4a podcast file i see that my file have: general,audio, video & menu section
in first general section
Format :
M4A
Codec ID :
M4A
this not working on podcast app on iphone or ipad !
then i scan enhanced podcast file downloaded from podcast app from my iphone with working chapters and pic made with garage band on mac by someone
and i see sections: general,audio, video and text 1 and text 2 sections (my not working does not have that last 2 , my last is menu section)
Format :
MPEG-4
Format profile :
Apple audio with iTunes info
Codec ID :
M4A
look at format profile ! it says Apple audio with iTunes info !
last thing is that i download from appstore app called Downcast, and try my enhanced podcast in that app wooow, everything work again ok when i stream, i see chapters i see pic. then at the end i download
Podreel — Enhanced podcast authoring tool for Windows
and try to build test podcast with that app, when i analyze enhanced podcast made with that app i see info say that podcast is made with garageband ??? this is fake tag made by podreel because podcast is made with podreel and not garage band, file made with podreel have this
Format :
MPEG-4
Format profile :
Apple audio with iTunes info
Codec ID :
M4A
again format profile is same like one from that working.
is podreel make fake tag because podcast app in iphone and ipad play exclusively enhnaced podcas make with garage band (podreel fake tag) or somebody know where I'm wrong. why my enhanced podcast don't play pics and chapters when is on iphone or ipad podcast app. i will write again that my file work on downcast app on iphone or ipad, work on pc in itunes, work on quicktime player etc work everywhere except there where i want to work in podcast app on iphone or ipad

hehe if somebody knows something this is def you Roger about first thing with seeing pic in itunes i think that i read all possible posts on web in last 7 days and nights and this is not working on my pc with control-click (Windows) but i don't care ! i wait for apple do magic bug fixing on new itunes version. And now about main problem. iOS devices are capable displaying chapter images because this is working right now with some podcast on my phone, i give you pic example iphone 4 iOS 6.1.2
in first pic you can see streaming podcast and chapters (little white dots on bar),second picture is first song with cover of single playing, and if you look close right from the clock zzz simbol is chapter logo, if you press it you will be see pic no.3 so this def working but working when you mad your podcast on mac with garage band ! that's why i write about format ids, tags etc

http://i.imgur.com/zDOIwrC.png
i test your podcast episode 36 then episode 33 and 31 ! bad news my friend no chapters and no pictures only one main pic. but when i test your podcast in downcast app in my iphone wooo i see text i see your pic i see chapters i see everything. so that mean it's working everywhere like mine except iphone and ipad app and now we come to theory of garage band things tags in m4a files. you write that you have done all this in podcast maker not garage band. This is now real mistery to me !
i analyze your file here and you have in last section menu1 and menu 2 so maybe problem is somwhere around this, not in format id because you have ok format id like one that working ok

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.
Matt
