New iTunes 11 - no longer gives count of podcasts

Hi
Since I updated to iTunes 11, I can no longer see the number of podcasts that I have. There's a number displayed next to podcasts in the top left drop-down menu, but that's the count of unplayed podcasts. I want to know how many there are in total.
Any help appreciated.

If anyone's interested, I've just found out the answer. Go to the 'view' menu, then select 'Show Status Bar' and a bar comes at the bottom (as in older versions of iTunes) and displays the total number of podcasts and the GB used.

I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
Please help!

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

Cannot update or backup my 3G. The new iTunes no longer has the backup menu

Hi, looking for help. I have a 3G and want to back it up so I can buy a 5G iphone and transfer all my stuff. The new itunes nolonger has the window to choose to backup or update. Can anyone help...please...

If you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the left-hand sidebar that used to show on previous versions via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to transfer purchases and backup the phone by control-clicking on a Mac, right-clicking on a PC, the iPhone 'device' on that sidebar and selecting the relevant option on the popup that you should get.
Or you can do it via the File > Devices menu option at the top of iTunes (on iTunes 11 on a PC Alt-F should get the File menu to appear).

Newer Itunes takes longer to start.

Is it just me or does starting itunes take longer these days?

Yes--it does take way more time than it did before to load! The program has to load a lot of stuff. I get nervous when I see the "loading the iTunes library" box with a cursor crawling slowly across the screen--I'm very concerned that something's going to crash. And then...????

ITunes no longer links to my podcast or iweb page

Hi Out There -
I've had a podcast going for two years www.artandsoulofnorthtexas.org
with lots of subscribers. I noticed that it no longer links with iTunes.
I think I know what happened, but I don't know how to correct it. I changed the name of the main page in inspector. Then, I changed it back to what it was when I realized my mistake. But iTunes is still not linking or downloading the latest episodes.
Help!!!!!!!! Is this the end of my podcast????
thanks,
zen

Why has the new iTunes reset the play counts on all my purchased music?

I installed iTunes 11 and discovered that it had reset the play counts on all my iTunes-Store-purchased music. What gives? Here's another thing, perhaps for a separate question here on the forum: play counts and "last played" do not update after a song is played unless I had specifically double-clicked it. Weird.

My God... I wanna know the same thing!

New itunes no longer synchs my new music, audiobooks, TV shows, etc...does synch itunes U and photos...most of the music is from my own CD's

I never had a problem until "upgrading" to latest itunes. Nearly all my music (over 4k songs) is from CD's. itunes still recognizes each ipod/ipad and does not delete what's already on (including audiobooks that I have unchecked once I have listened to them). It still allegedly "synchs", but only itunesU and photos get updated. I can get around the audiobook problem via Audible's app, but I do have new music on itunes in the computer that won't transfer.

Just an update, following last nights USB sync all music shows as In the library on my iPhone, however only the same 500 or so songs are playable, the rest go from appearing to be in the library to going into the cloud and starting to download when manually selected. If on shuffle the music skips over them. The iPhone memory usage shows only about 10gb used most of which is for the iOS/apps, so once again my music library is not on my iPhone. Apple have managed to take a great product and turn it into a steaming pile of turd.

ITunes 11.0 - no longer gives acurate playlist times

Is anyone else having this issue? The new itunes no longer gives an exact count of my playlists. For instance, I have a playlist that was 63 minutes and 32 seconds and now it just says "1 Hour", the same thing goes for my playlist that is 55 minutes - It now says 1 hour!!! I sub at different places so every minute counts depending on the class schedule. Help - I am a fitness instructor and I live by every minute! This is a HUGE problem for me!!!

Its just the general dumbing down of iTunes.
55minutes - call it an hour
65minutes - call it an hour
so on
Of course it KNOWS the correct duration, computers are very good with numbers, its just that the brains at Apple know best and reckon that Joe Public does not need this info any longer
This update is a fail.

New iTunes update and old podcasts

With the new iTunes update, all of my OLD podcasts are back on the list, apparently in the cloud. I do not want all of these old episodes showing up after I delete them but there is no longer a delete option when I highlight the unwanted episodes and right click. How do I hide old episodes from my podcast list?

I have the same problem. My podcasts show up under podcasts in itunes but not on my ipod and I have to search under music when I want to listen to them. It's a pain. Someone please help.

TS1717 iTunes won't open; only a small box that says "New iTunes Library"

When I try to open iTunes, it simple brings up a small box that says "New iTunes Library" and gives me no option but to exit out. What has happened? I installed the newest version of iTunes a few days ago onto my computer, and this morning was the first time I turned my machine on since the installation. My computer said that something was keeping it from starting normally, so it attempted to do a repair bootup. It told me that any newly installed programs were going to be uninstalled to help fix my computer, and apparently it uninstalled my iTunes. Now when I try to open iTunes, it only brings up a small box thatt says "New iTunes Library" and my only option is to exit out. Have I lost all my music? How can I remedy this problem?

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

ITunes 11.0.2 screws up Podcast count

I have 37 podcasts that are unplayed. After updating to iTunes 11.0.2, the number of unplayed now shows 222. I thought maybe it downloaded a bunch of podcasts that I had already listened to (like it does when someone changes their feeds, and iTunes sees the episodes as "new").
I clicked on the "Unplayed" tab under Podcasts, and it shows the 37 unplayed podcasts.
I went in and selected all my podcasts and marked them all as played. Now, there are no unplayed podcasts, but the counter still shows 185 unplayed.
Since when did Microsoft take over coding iTunes? I expected better from Apple.
Can anyone tell me how to reset the number of unplayed podcasts to be the correct number? Thanks.

I fixed my play count by marking all of my played podcasts as unplayed, then played again. Mine was messed up after doing a clean re-install of iTunes.
I did this in the list view, selecting multiple podcasts by clicking on the first one I want selected, then holding down Shift as I click the last one I want selected. This is in Windows, but should work the same in Mac. You can also select all(ctrl+A in Windows or Cmd+A in Mac) and hold ctrl(Win) or (I'm pretty sure)Cmd(Mac) as you click on the ones you don't want selected. Then right-click on a selected one and choose "Mark as unplayed" then right-click again and choose "Mark as played".
I only recommended "Mark as unplayed" first because it didn't initially give me the option to "Mark as played", but since you had simply marked them as played, maybe marking all of them as unplayed first, then as played, could be the fix.
KEEP IN MIND that you could potentially accidentally mark a partially-played podcast as played(since they don't have an icon next to them), so pay CLOSE ATTENTION to which ones you're selecting and what is partially-played(check the Unplayed tab at top for a quick list). I only had one partially-played podcast, so it was easy to just skip that one.
I suspect iTunes just mis-interpreted a few podcasts' count, since the first half I marked only lowered it by one, then the second half cleared the rest of the 40-something unplayed podcasts.

How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

Rock,
I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
3. Right-click it. A long menu will pop up.
4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option. As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally). Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

ITunes 8.1 no longer gives option to skip adding duplicate songs to iPod

When I begin to add songs to my iPod or a playlist, I've noticed that iTunes 8.1 no longer gives me the option (through a small pop-up window) to skip transferring any songs that already exist on that iPod or playlist.
This was a great feature: I could drag a whole set of songs and rely on iTunes to weed out any songs from the transfer that would cause duplicates on my iPod or a new playlist.
The option said something like you are about to add duplicates and allowed me to select "Skip" or "Add".
I can't find this option in Preferences. Has anyone been able to re-enable this?

I have this same problem. Did you find the solution? I sat here and played on iTunes for about 3 hours. I even tried uninstalling and installing it. Nothing works for me.
