Old and new video podcasts no longer sync and play

Since updating Itunes and software on my Ipod classic, the ipod no longer plays video podcasts. I know there was a problem with newer podcasts in HD and so on, but even the old format doesn't play.
can anyone help?

In your subject heading you say the Podcasts do not sync. Are you saying they don't play +because they have not synced?+
If so, when you plug your iPod into your computer, check the settings on the Podcasts pane/tab. Are they still set the way you want them? Software upgrades have been know to cause these settings to be changed.

  • Podcasts no longer sync and remember position.  Any solutions?

    Since installing Yosemite on one imac (older) and buying a new imac retina (using Yosemite) my podcasts no longer sync between devices.  Before Yosemite, if I played a podcast on my iPhone as soon as I opened my imac/itunes the podcast was set at where I left off.  It was great.
    Now, it does not do this at all.  Is there some trick or a preference file to delete/start over or did they really disable this feature?
    Thanks.

  • Cannot download or watch old or new video podcasts after iTunes directory reorg

    I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive. That seems to have worked fine except for the issue described below.
    I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder. I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. In both cases the video podcasts remained in the original or old folder location. In the case of the mixed video and audio it just left the video episodes in the old folder and moved the audio podcasts.
    If I select a new video podcast from the itunes store and download it, I cannot view it in itunes. An example of a new video podcast I attempted to download is  "MinutePhysics". The podcast will display as one of my podcasts in itunes but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. It looks like it is downloading to my hard drive but after it downloads I cannot locate the file in any directories.
    In Advanced Preferences on the Advanced tab I have checked and unchecked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and that does not make a difference checked or unchecked.
    The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
    How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
    Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
    Please help.

    Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes. Thanks for the reply.

  • Video podcasts no longer sync with iPod Touch

    I am using latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 (4) and latest os 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro with iPod Touch (gen 3). I subscribe to a video podcast and in beginning it worked, but for last 2 months though they download into iTunes and I can watch them, they are either not syncing to my iPod or I cannot find them. Before they were in Podcast list along with audio podcasts.

    Yeah I noticed some videos we'rent syncing to my iPod 5th Gen now that I switched to Mac, and reformatted my iPod, and was reminded that some items wouldn't transfer. These were certain podcasts, as well as a HD TV Show Episode. (I thought HD TV show purchases came with a SD version for iPod, but maybe it got lost in the transfer or I deleted it sometime)....but WHATEVER:
    If you want, you can convert any video file to a format that fits iPod/iPhone, or even iPad/Apple TV, here's how:
    Select the video item(s) you wish to make a compressed version for, and click ADVANCED on the menu bar. Then select "Create iPod/iPhone Version" or "Create iPad/Apple TV Version" depending on what you are syncing too. If these options are greyed out, it means it is not necessary to do this as those devices already can support the file as is. iTunes will then convert, and presto, you have a copy which will go onto your device!

  • Why will video podcasts no longer sync to my ipod?

    I used to be able to watch video podcasts on my iPod nano (5th generation).  Then, one day it stopped syncing them to the iPod.  I think an error message came up saying that my iPod didn't support the videos anymore (something about HD).  I assumed that the video podcast had switched to a higher definition podcast, but the video quality appears to be the same when I play them on my computer.  What's more confusing is that when I check which podcasts are being synced, the video podcasts still say they are being added to the device, but they never show up.  Furthermore, I try draging the file manually to the iPod, but nothing happens (not even an error message saying I can't copy that file to the device).

    I think so.  I'm pretty sure I've updated 2 versions of iTunes since it stopped working.  I don't remember if one of those updates was right when it stopped working or not.

  • Video Podcasts No Longer Work on my 2nd (3rd?) Gen. iPod Touch!

    Okay, I'm not really sure if I actually have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch.  It's a 8 GB, and I bought it in November of 2009 or so.  I'm guessing it's a 2nd generation since it stopped updating after iOS 4.2.1.  Now with that out of the way, onto the real question....
    There was a new iTunes version a few days ago, so I went ahead and updated that.  Ever since, I have had difficulties with any new VIDEO podcasts that I download.  I cannot sync them onto my iPod at all.  Audio podcasts work just fine, but video podcasts do not.  I have literally tried everything - restoring my iPod, deleting and re-downloading the podcasts, and even re-installed iTunes completely.  I figure that it might have something to do with the file type of the videos, but I would've gotten an error message if that had been the case.  I am extremely puzzled.  Please advise. 

    No one?

    I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive.Cant play any music as it "can't find" the library  Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing.   How to restore back to original state . I have tried re-installing  - with no change

    I do the same thing as you do...
    My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
    There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
    1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
    2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
    I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
    If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
    To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
    I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
    You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

  • I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts.  The genious bar could not figure out the problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

    My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts).  The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem.  This problem is not isolated to a single computer.  Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.  Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail.  I've heard this is a video codec problem.

  • Video Podcasts Will Not Sync; Audio Podcasts Do

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to the ios 5. Now when I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my video podcasts will not sync. I have not changed any of my settings, and I noticed "All podcasts" is selected under Podcasts section. Audio podcasts sync fine. All was fine until I did the recent software upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

    They are there.  They are now under the "Video" app on the first page of your device.  Seems like a pointless change to me.  It took me a couple of days to find mine, too.

  • My daughter disconnected her iPod nano from the lead before ejecting the device.  It no longer syncs and we have re-set the device, but it now only occasionally appears on the computer screen any suggestions please?

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

    Which version of iTunes are you using?
    What is your iPod firmware number as shown in the iTunes summary page?
    Is there any error message when you try to sync the vidoes?

  • BIOS And new Video card

    So i am buying a new video card MSI GTX 970 and my PC is an h9-1300ex so i was wondring if i need to update bios or anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Your PC should be able to run the GTX 970. Open up your PC and check the auxiliary PCI-E power connectors and make sure that your PC has the correct plugs based one the GTX 970 model that you plan on using.  

  • How can I play online videos without many long pauses during play?

    I have current flash and 7.  Lately, all online videos have many long pauses throughout play.  They used to play continuously through.  Flash is enabled.
    How can I solve this?

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video
