Old podcasts completely deleted from system with no ability to recover them

Actually, this isn't really a question, so much as a comment and a very upsetting situation I've found myself in. I updated my iTunes and the next thing I know, all of my old podcasts were completely wiped off of my computer. I had some very rare interviews....all gone now. Anytime a program is going to have a major change like that, there should be some sort of warning. I am deeply upset by this because some of these podcasts are no longer available which means that these interviews are gone. I will never be able to hear them again.
Thank you iTunes.

I was going to link directly to one of my earlier posts like this, but I've added in just a little more information...
I'm fairly sure the reason for this is a due to a mismatch between options to Keep all episodes in iTunes and Keep all unplayed or some similar option on your device when the new option (introduced in iTunes 11.1) to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations has been enabled. I lost all played episodes of all podcast series that I synced to my devices.
Series that weren't synced were left untouched. iTunes still recorded both my default option and series specific options to Keep all episodes. iTunes doesn't manage my media folders. The deleted episodes were not sent to the recycle bin. Some people have said they found some episodes there so check.
Here is the recovery process, assuming you have a backup of the deleted files...
1. Restore copies of all the deleted podcasts to the Podcasts folders from your backup.
2. Rename the current .itl file with the suffix (BAD), then move it into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
3. Restore a copy of the pre-upgrade library from your backup or the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
4. If necessary, remove the trailing date from the library file restored in step 3.
5. Start iTunes, go to the Podcasts section.
6. Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations then click Continue. This should prevent a repeat of the deletions.
If the above screen doesn't show go to Edit >Preferences > Store and uncheck Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations.
7. On your devices you may also want to change the Episodes to keep to All in Settings > Podcasts and then again with the settings for each subscription in the app.
8. If, like me, you updated a whole bunch of apps before realizing there was a problem, you may find the restored library has multiple broken links to any apps that you updated. Use File > Add Folder to Library and select your Mobile Applications folder. Accept the offer to replace older versions with the files you are adding. iTunes may prompt that certain files cannot be updated because it can't find the file to add. Keep a note of these as it looks like this happens when both the old & new versions would be given the same file name and iTunes unhelpfully erases the file that it is supposed to add. You can delete any remaining broken entries, close iTunes, then reopen and download from iTunes Store > Purchased > Apps > Not on this computer.
If you don't have the episodes to restore then at least visit iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations before attempting to redownload any older episodes.
If you've lost episodes that cannot be redownloaded, and you've not done too much with the drive since, then an undelete tool might recover most of them. FreeRecover looks promising, Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from the podcasts folder that has a good integrity score. The free version of Recuva might also work.

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. Any suggestion?

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. I already tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library (all the possible options) and tried to update teh version from 9.4.3 to 9.5 but the problem still persists: is there a way to delete this slideshow without selecting it ? How can I solve the problem, please?
Kind Regards

Can you restore your iPhoto Library from a backup version, that was created before you added the slideshow?
If not, have you tried to rebuild the slideshow with iPhoto Library Manager?
As described by Terence Devlin here: Re: iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

How do I completly delete from ipad purchase completely gone

How do I completly delete from ipad purchase completely gone

you can delete an app from your iPad by: locate the app's icon on your home screen, touch and hold the icon until it starts to jiggle, touch the small x that will now appear at the upper left of the icon.
Note that while this deletes the app from you iPad it will still appear in the App Store under Purchased.
If you are synching your iPad to a computer, you can go into the App Store from the computer and make the app "hidden", but you cannot get entirely rid of the record that you purchased this app.

I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod.

I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod - only singles. If I want to download an entire album I have to do it with my computer and then connect and sync my device. Can anyone help me and tell me how I can download using my iPod? Thank you.

Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them. This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults. How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
Please help!
Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
Carmelo

Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
Quit Address Book.
Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

How Can I retrieve old podcasts I deleted by error?

Hello,
I uses the last version 7.2.2 on MacOS.
I deleted a few podcasts from an album I subscribed to.
I know that the podcasts I deleted are still available on the publisher's site.
Until version 7.1.... It was possible to retrieve old podcasts again by using the command "retrieve old podcasts" (or something like this) (just below "refresh album in the contextual menu). But it seems that this useful command has been removed.
Is there any way to do it anyway?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Credit Card Error file accidently deleted from system.

Hi Experts,
I have a situation were all the error credit card will be stored in PRCCE transaction code. Once we have rectified the error in PRCCE, we need to run PRCCF to generate the file.
Once this file is generated from PRCCF, error entries in PRCCE will be removed. Now Accidently this file, which was generated from the PRCCF has been deleted from the system. We could not trace this file in the system at all.
How can we over come all the correct trip ? Is there any other way to generate the file again?
Please advice.
Regards,
Raziq Fareed.

Apple is not being sneaky. You are just uninformed about how things work in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. Nowhere did you read anything to lead you to believe that your bank card information would be discarded after the first use. That is something that you made up in your head.
The tax situation in the USA is different than most other countries. Here in Mexico, as well as many other countries, there is a federally mandated tax of a given percent of the purchase. That tax is nationwide, so wherever I may live in Mexico the tax is the same. That is not true in the USA. Every state and even every city can levy its own tax on the sale, so the price of an item plus the tax will be a slightly different total everywhere you buy the item. For that reason the prices in the MAS do not have the tax included. The tax is added at check out when it is established where you are located and the tax for your location is applied.
The reason that Apple expects that you will repurchase the app with the gift card is because Apple is expecting you to be honest. You were ignorant of how to correctly redeem a gift card and the system charged your bank card on file. Apple has credited the charge to your bank card because you have complained about your own ignorance of how the system actually works. Apple expects that as an honest person you will delete the app for which you have been reimbursed. Apple expects that if you still wish to have the app that you will properly redeem the gift card and purchase the app.
So at this point, the real question is - Are you an honest person?

Active X Control is in sysWOW64, AND System 32. I NEED IT DELETED from System 32.

I'm on an Acer laptop, with a 1.9gHz Intel Celeron. I'm running Windows 7 HP. I use IE11 AND Firefox32 both, all of the time. Flash15_0_0_152 was installed in sysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, for exclusive use in the 64 bit Internet Explorer, but the 15_0_0_152.ocx file, (Active X Control), also installed into System 32/Macromed/Flash folder, where I need to install the Flash "plugin for all other browsers", i.e., the Firefox 32 bit browser.
I don't think having the Active X Control in System 32 will allow Flash Player to operate properly, ( in Firefox ). With that said, how do I delete the file from System 32, so as to proceed with the FP "plugin for all other browsers" install?
@m_vargas
@Pat Willener

Maria,
I hate to sound dumb, like some kind of "smarty pants', but I DON'T exactly have this squared away.
I installed the Active X Flash while in Internet Explorer. Your post says that the browser knows the folder location, and Flash will install to that correct location. If System32 is the 64 bit location, and we know that Flash for IE is 64 bit, then why are my Active X Flash files in sysWOW64, ( the 32 bit location?)
I am by no means, trying to be rude, in ANY WAY, so PLEASE do not take ANY of my comments that way, PLEASE. I have grown rather tired of dealing with these Flash issues, ( for over a YEAR ), so I am just going to throw caution to the wind, and try, (RIGHT NOW ), to install the Flash plugin, and see what happens. I'll post my results ASAP.
My playback issues are: (1): I must refresh some sites 4 or 5 times, before I FINALLY "get lucky", and get Flash to playback video(s). Sometimes, it matters not, and those sites absolutely refuse to allow Flash to work properly there. (2): Some sites just will not allow playback at all...period.
(3): I suppose the following has a lot to do with my Internet speed, ( I've tested my DSL speed, and, apparently, it is rather slow ), but, for at least half of the time, all that happens when I am playing back a video, is buffering, buffering, etc. I usually get fed up with it, and exit the screen. Sometimes, under this particular scenario, I will give the video in question a second attempt, but, more often than not, it still will not work, and I'll give up, exiting that screen.
I need to point out that the largest percentage of these problems were occurring before I uninstalled, and re-installed Flash (Active X ), for IE. As I said a few sentences ago, I have yet to re-install the Flash plugin, but am about to do so. More later.
Again, thank you for your patience, politeness, and diligence.

Deleting from server with POP

I got my iPhone last week and can't seem to get the email working correctly, not correctly, but how I would prefer it to me. I have set it up as a POP account, and love it as a POP - I get my emails even when my outlook is open, it pushes, everything BUT I set it up to to delete from server when delete from inbox, but yet, when I do delete from the phone, when I open outlook on my computer, the emails still come through from the server. I have also tried the IMAP but don't care for it as much because my emails don't come through if outlook is open, don't push as timely, and if they do, don't alert me as new mail, or with the dot next to them to be unread, unless I have Outlook closed. However, if I delete from phone, it does delete from server. Since I have 'delete from server' setup for POP, does anyone know what I can do to correct this to where it'll work correctly? I would prefer to use POP because I like the way I get my emails on phone even if outlook is open, marked new, and alerted but just want them to go away like the setting says!! I swapped from a Blackberry and when I deleted from BB and server, the emails didn't come through when I opened outlook so I'm definitel used to that feature. Thank you!

Messages are not pushed with a POP account - messages are fetched from the server automatically or manually, and the same with an IMAP account unless the IMAP account supports push access.
The following accounts support Push access for received messages with the iPhone's Mail application.
MobileMe.
A Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset, which creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail application along with having Push access for received messages.
An Exchange account accessed via ActiveSync with the Exchange Server.
I have also tried the IMAP but don't care for it as much because my emails don't come through if outlook is open, don't push as timely, and if they do, don't alert me as new mail, or with the dot next to them to be unread, unless I have Outlook closed.
An IMAP account is specifically designed to be accessed with more than one email client with the ability for more than one email client to access the incoming mail server for new messages or access any other server stored mailbox at the same time, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only. Two email clients cannot be connected to the incoming mail server for a POP account at the same time, which is supported with an IMAP account.

Problem deleting from table with xmltype column

Hi,
Using a standard, simple screen (generated from JHeadstart), I don't seem to be able to delete from a table including an xmltype column. I have tried it even with a very simple mock table with only one column, an xmltype column, and every time I check the "delete" box and click "save", I get the following error:
oracle.jbo.RowInconsistentException: JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[33 ].
I have tried this in the JDeveloper application module tester too and the result is the same.
Is it possible to delete a row from a table with an xmltype column? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something special needs done?
As I say, I did this with a one-xmltype-column table using the "Business Components from Tables" wizard, accepting all the defaults.
Thanks,
Darren

In short you want
SELECT extractvalue(myxml, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference')
FROM dab_test;This difference is that for dab_xml, there are no columns defined for the table, therefore you are [OBJECT_VALUE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/pseudocolumns006.htm#sthref830] as an alias for a non existent column.
With dab_test, you have a column that contains the XML so you need to use that column name instead of OBJECT_VALUE.
