New Podcast Subscriptions don't sync

I've subscribed to several new podcasts and they don't show up in my Touch. When I click the podcast tab in iTunes, it crashes.

There's a long-standing problem which causes iTunes to crash when you select the Podcasts pane( tab) that shows up while the Touch is connected to iTunes. Apple are aware of it, but so far, no fix has turned up.
Unfortunately, it sound as though your option to Sync Podcasts is not turned on, and of course this has to be done on the Podcasts pane, which you can't get to. I suggest that the very first thing you do is send in some feedback - go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html and select a *feedback type* of *bug report.* Make sure you include that fact that you cannot turn on the option to *Sync Podcasts* and therefore cannot get any Podcasts onto the Touch because of this problem.
Then, while waiting for action, check in your *iTunes Podcast Library* (without the Touch connected) to ensure that each of the Podcast episodes has a tick in the box (next to the episode name). If you haver *Sync only ticked songs and videos* selected, you need the tick to be on for the episodes to be transferred to the Touch.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Some podcast just don't sync

Hi,
I have an ipod touch 1gen, my podcast settings are "sync all new podcasts" but since some time I've noticed that some podcasts, even if new, never make it to my ipod, they just remain on itunes, marked as unwatched and new.
I've tried changing the settings to "sync all unwatched" and even manually select them, same result, they remain stucked in itunes.
I have itunes 9.02 for mac.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,
jp

I have the same thing happening to me. I discovered it to be an sync'ing issue with some (video)podcast not syncing to the iPod anymore because iTunes " thinks" the audio/video format is not supported by the iPod.

New podcast subscription in iTunes store.

the podcast that I submitted to the iTunes store got approved a couple of days ago and just started being displayed in it today. The information in the website for iTunes to pull in the image is correct and was in there when I submitted the podcast. When I submitted the podcast it pulled in the image right away, however the podcast image is not being pulled in when I view it in the store. I was just wondering if anyone knows how long it might take iTunes to pull in the image. the url information from from iTunes is http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/midwestern-baptist-college/id414279294

The image is correctly referenced in your feed, but it always takes a few days before it appears - and even longer before the image in the Search results appears (which is smaller but drawn from the same tag in the feed). Recently a lot of people have been complaining that their images hadn't appeared after several weeks, so it rather looks as if there's been some sort of problem. One of them did post that his had turned up, so maybe things are improving - but you may still find it takes some time. I'm afraid there's nothing you can do except wait.

New iphone contacts don't sync to my address book

But that were only those that were in the SIM card. All of those that I added manually on iphone is not copied onto the computer.

How to Backup Podcast Subscriptions?

How do you backup the iTunes podcast subscriptions (don't want to backup the actual media files, just the subscriptions)?
I want to be able to restore exactly where I left off as well. I don't want to have to re-download all the episodes from the subscription and remove the ones I've already listened to.
Also would like to use the backup feature to synchronize between my home iTunes subscriptions and work.
If the feature is not built into iTunes, is there a file, a folder, a registry key that contains the information?
iTunes 6.0.2.23 for Windows
Thank you.
Windows XP Pro iTunes 6.0.2.23 for Windows

Firstly, I would also like to have a "profile backup" option, or at least let me specify a folder for these files. (like it can be done for the iTunes Music Folder)
My little workaround:
The files you are looking for reside in your "My Documents" folder in your windows user directory. Look for "My Music" which should contain the iTunes folder. In there are two files:
iTunes Library.itl (binary - *****)
iTunes Music Library.xml (song file information)
These files are responsible for holding the information on subscriptions.
I'm a iTunes-only user, no iPod.
What I did to have "my" iTunes from work and from home is this:
*) Use of a USB-HD, where I place my "iTunes Music Folder", to have all files just in one place.
*) Wrote a little script which copies the two mentioned files from my user directory folder to the USB-HD and vice-versa. This script resides on the computer from which I start iTunes, to copy the files to the right directory.
If you just want to have your subscriptions available from multiple places (and no song files), a USB stick might do as well. Even for a few song files too, depending on the size of it.

How do I move my iTunes podcast subscriptions to a new computer?

I have a Dell computer running Windows XP.
I just purchased an Inspiron laptop running Vista and want to move my podcast subscriptions (I have a lot of them) to the new installation of iTunes on the laptop.
I cannot find any instructions on how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. - Love my iPhone!

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. On a PC the default location is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

New podcasts won't sync w/iTunes 7

After upgrading to v.7, any of my new podcasts that have been downloaded (BTW, there's no longer an "Update" button -- wonder why that is) are greyed out and unchecked. I can't check the little box, nor play them in iTunes. When I sync my iPod, they don't download to the iPod, yet they've definitely downloaded to my computer.
What the heck does it mean when a podcast/file is greyed out & unchecked & unresponsive?

In iTunes, go to the Store menu and Deauthorize your computer. Play one of your purchased songs. When prompted enter your Apple ID and password. Now resync the songs.

Podcasts don't sync

My ipod worked really well until last week. Started playing it all night. Now when I sync it won't remove unwanted content or add new podcasts.
I've even deleted stuff from the playlist and now it won't sync the playlist.
so I restored it to factory condition (successful restore. didn't fix issue)
updated all the software
created this account in community
synced about 12 times
there are new podcasts in my podcast section. They won't go on my ipod.
Tells me I don't have room for everything, will put as much as it can.
So I checked manually manage and still no joy
What to do?

I'm not 100% sure about this. I know some users have just created an On-The-Go playlist for their podcats. They added the podcasts to the playlist in the order they wanted them to play in and it worked just fine when they listen to that playlist.
I know you can also set up a Smart Playlist in iTunes for the podcasts (sorted by Date) and then sync that to your iPod.

You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with "******"?

Why am I getting this error message every time I open iTunes? I'm giving the option of Sync or don't Sync and click sync and there are no problems. But why does it open with: You are signed in with a different Apple ID than previously used with Podcasts. Do you want to sync these podcast subscriptions and stations with “*****”?
<Edited by Host>

Please sign out of the iTunes Store by selecting
Store ▹ Sign Out
from the iTunes menu bar. Then sign back in.

HT1689 Why won't my podcast subscriptions on my iPad show on my iPod and iMac even after syncing?

I have added subscriptions to podcasts on my iPad but when I sync it with my iMac and my iPod the subscriptions don't copy over to the other devices. Is there something else that I need to do?

Some podcasts don't sync

I've recently began having this problem - some podcast files don't get transfererd to my 60G video ipod. Some podcasts have new, unplayed files that don't seem to get recognized for transfer to the ipod, no mater what I do. I've tried various settings, including sync all podcasts; I've tried deleting the podcasts and redownloading them; etc.
I believe this problem may have started happening when I updated to iTunes 7.0 (and updated my iPod at the same time) but I'm not sure.

The podcast publisher says that there appears to be a technical issue with iTunes 7, however he believes that he has found a workaround. I will let you know when the problem is fixed, so maybe he can share the details with other publishers that are having problems.

The podcasts that I have subscribed to via itunes have stopped downloading/syncing. I see new podcasts on the podcasts website but they are not listed on my list of itunes podcasts, nor do they show up when I sync to an iPod

Podcasts listened to on classic (5th gen) iPod don't sync to iPhone

I have the feeling this has been covered before, but I get lost in threads of various ages talking about various versions of iOS, various versions of the Podcasts App, etc.
I have an iPhone 5C with the most current version of iOS (7.1.1) and the Podcasts (2.1.2) app. My 17" MBP has the most recent version of Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes. (11.2.2). I also have a 60GB, 5th gen iPod.
Before I got my iPhone, I would plug my classic iPod into the Mac to sync. Worked flawlessly. I would download new podcasts episodes into iTunes, plugging in to sync would update the played count on both the computer and iPod depending on where I played them, and mark the played episodes to delete, and push new episodes to the iPod.
When I set up my iPhone, there was some oddness originally with random old episodes showing up on the iPhone, which then propogated back to the mac. I marked those as played, which got rid of them, and haven't had that problem again. I have my iPhone set up with the Sync tab on, refresh at every 6 hours, limit episodes off, delete played episodes on, cell data off. I have the download episdoes off for now, so the phone itself only updates episodes when I sync to the computer. I recently changed that. I'm not sure if it will effect anything. I generally sync the iPhone over the wifi, although I do plug it into the laptop to charge at night - I'm not sure if this intiates a sync or not with the laptop lid closed.
The podcast app seems to work perfectly if I use the iPhone as my listening device. I listen to something there, and it shows up as listened to on the Mac, changes propogate there well. Later, if I plug in the iPod, it reflects those changes.
The only problem I seem to be having so far is listening to podcasts on the iPod. If I listen there, when I plug it in to sync with the Mac, those changes show on the mac. Later, if I sync the iPhone, however, changes that originated on iPod do not sync to the iPhone, even if the Mac is reflecting those changes, do not sync to the iPod. So I play one of three new episodes of a podcast on my iPod, sync it, my Mac now shows only two new episodes of that podcast, my iPhone still shows three unplayed episodes, even after a sync.
Is there anything I'm missing?

Well i have a solution that does not get messy.
very simple:
1. Make Sure your all your iPod songs are backed up.
2. Restore iPod to factory settings
3. re-sync iPod media
4. enjoy.
Hope this helped

You copy all your stuff from the only computer to the new computer. This includes the iPod backup file. You then restore the iPod from backup on the new computer.
