Old podcasts not being removed from 2nd gen nano since iTunes 7.2

I have been very annoyed lately that, since the iTunes 7.2 update, my nano keeps all old podcasts. I much prefer to not have the ones I have finished listening to continuing to update to my ipod. I do not want to delete all old podcasts from iTunes and am getting tired of having to manually delete the ones I have heard. Sometimes I have heard only half of one, and I don't like having to keep track of which is which. I have "synch all unplayed" selected under "ipod" on the syncing page in itunes. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I already tried reseting (the thing does this on its own all the time anyway), and I reinstalled the software as well.

Hello FrayedSo, Sorry to read your having a difficult time with your shuffle and podcasts.
As you mentioned earlier this is your second shuffle and it is able to play songs you purchase or put onto it but it skips past the Podcasts.
Are you playing these podcasts as part of a Playlist? or is this happening in shuffle mode?
Some of the things you could do to possibly assist with troubleshooting your issue are below.
Make sure to Consolidate your iTunes Library so all your information is backed up to your iTunes Music folder. You can do this by going to Advanced-Consolidate Library.
To quote a part in Knowledge Base 30058
"Playing Audiobooks and podcasts on iPod shuffle
When iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle that are not audiobooks. Podcasts of type .m4b or AAC will not play on iPod shuffle when it is in shuffle mode, which is the intended behavior, although a podcast of type .mp3 or .wav may play while in shuffle mode. To play an audiobook or podcast that is on iPod shuffle, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order."

Another thing you could try. Create a new user account on your Windows System and download some podcasts and sync it to your shuffle and see if the same issue occurs.

  • Podcasts not being Removed from my Ipod

    I have several old podcasts that I have deleted from my ITUNES that for some reason, are not being deleted from my ipod...? The podcasts are not showing up in my itunes, so not sure how to clear them out from my ipod?? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The most likely culprit is a playlist that's getting synced to your iPod.
    The big change in this area in 7.7 is that all podcasts, even ones in playlists, appear in the iPod's Podcasts section. Before 7.7 the only episodes that appeared in the Podcasts section were ones that you synced in the Podcasts tab.
    The interesting thing is that this change affects only what shows up in the iPod's Podcasts section, it doesn't affect the files that are actually transferred to the iPod.
    To check this, find one of the episodes with the play count >= 1 in your iTunes library. Right click (or control click) the episode, and in the contextual menu go to Show In Playlist. See what playlists appear in that list. (Show In Playlist is right under Add To Playlist. If I'm wrong, Show In Playlist won't be there at all.)

  • Old podcasts not being deleted from hard drive

    Can anyone help me with this problem? I currently have the "keep only unplayed podcasts" selected. ITunes synchs great with my Nano. If a podcast is played, it is taken off of the Nano.
    The problem is that the podcast is not also deleted from my hard drive. I have to manually delete the file and "move to recycle bin." Does anyone know a way of having ITunes actually delete the file from the hard drive? I don't want to waste so much space.
    I am using ITunes 7.

    I'm running a managed library.
    Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
    Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?
    THanks for the info TD

  • [Q] Podcasts not automatically removed from my iPod

    If I go to Devices->Eric Gorr's iPod->Podcasts, I have the Sync checkbox checked and 'all unplayed' selected in the menu.
    If I view the podcasts on my ipod, I can see in the 'Play Count' column that there are many podcasts with a play count of >= 1.
    If I sync my iPod, those podcasts with a play count of >= 1 are not removed from my iPod.
    I believe this is possible, but it does not seem to be working.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I am using iTunes 7.7 (43)

  • Can new 2nd gen nano use iTunes ver. 6 instead of iTunes v7?

    Just got my new Nano but I am reluctant to install a new version of iTunes given some of the problems some users have encountered, particularly as the previous version works fine with my 1st gen Nano.

    Apparently iTunes7 is a requirement. I just got the 8GB nano, and iTunes6 is saying that it won't recognize the nano unless I upgrade to v7.
    What's horrible is that I just went through all this work to downgrade from 7 to 6, because 7 was continuously crashing on me, over and over.
    What ****.

  • Roles not being removed from CC5.2

    After we run a full sync for users and roles we are still finding roles in CC 5.2 that have been removed/deleted from the SAP backend systems.

    HI,
    Try with a new job and for being on the safer side select all of the choices for full Sync - i.e profile, role and users. Also, select the relevant options for your system for the Batch Risk Analysis and the Management Reports too.
    Sometimes it is a common problem that Management reports show data for a role to be in Risk, which does not even exist because we did not check this option of Management reports while running the BG job.
    This might take a bit of longer time but will be accurate.
    Regards,
    Hersh.

  • Files not being removed from hard drive

    I've deleted photos from the lightroom (5) catalog but the files havent been deleted from the folder on the hard drive (external).  What have i done wrong?

    I'll throw out a guess
    The folders containing these photos do not have WRITE permission, or are marked as read-only

  • Enemies not being removed from stage when clicked on with mouse.

    I have ran into another problem, I have written the code for when I click on an enemy, it doesnt add a point to the score and it doesn't remove the enemy, I have a textfield which is called messageDisplay which is linked to the clickEnemy function.
    Here is the piece of code.
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickEnemy);
                    function clickEnemy(event:MouseEvent):void
                    if(cursor.hitTestObject(enemyAppear))

    Any help is appreciated, thanks Casey.

    After double checking my code I have resolved the issue myself thanks

    You can delete files on your iPhone, including films, by performing a quick left finger swipe. A delete button will appear. This works with any file content on your iPhone.

  • How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    How can I get a family member back after being removed from family share?

    See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
    * also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
    It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
    I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
    Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on
    *see [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

    I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually.  I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar.  Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually.  Very frustrating.  Thanks for any ideas.

    If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad.  But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software.  I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there.  If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by XP or iTunes

    Situation:
    2nd gen nano with Nike+ will not appear in Device Manager nor charge. In essence, the XP pro computer does not see the nano at all. However, Nike+ still works, the nano still works in an iHome clock radio and it will beep when connected to a dock.
    Troubleshooting:
    * 5Rs attempted - however, since the PC Device Manager will not see the nano, I can't issue any restore commands.
    * even with nano in disk mode, PC does not see it
    * older first gen nano still works properly with same iTunes environment.
    Has the USB on the newer nano gone bye-bye?

    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

  • 2nd gen nano not recognized by MBA / Lion 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3

    I have this 2nd gen nano (and a bunch of other ones) set to manage music manually. This particular device has worked fine while connected to MBP mid 2010 running SL and most recent iTunes.
    But, this 2nd gen nano does not show up on the MacBook Air, mid-2011, running Lion 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3.
    I have reset the nano. It plays fine, responds to setting changes properly and it does charge while plugged into either USB port of the MBA.  The computer is plugged into wall juice, and the other USB port is not in use while I try to get the nano recognized. 
    Disk utility does not see it either.
    This MBA is not the computer I usually sync this 2nd gen nano to since that machine (the MBP mid 2010) is out for repair.
    i expected iTunes on this MBA  to just mount the thing (since the iPod has the manual preference set, and is a Mac-formatted nano) and that it would then let me delete a few picks and drag a few newer tunes onto it.   
    The MBA, the nano and my out-for-repair MBP all have the same Apple ID associated with purchased music on the devices.
    I rarely reload this nano and haven't actually changed its music since I put the MBP to Lion, so I am not sure if it's Lion, iTunes or the MBA that is the issue with this 2nd gen nano.
    After the 2nd nano would not mount, I tried two other iPods, one is a 3rd gen nano and the other is a Classic.   Both of them connected fine and let me drag stuff onto them.
    So it seems that either Lion 10.7.4 or iTunes 10.6.3 does not feel like recognizing the 2nd gen nano.  Hope this can be fixed.  That model nano is practically indestructible and there are still lots of them out there!

    Update on the above:
    I did some more research on this using assorted of my 2nd gen nanos and a couple 1st gen ones as well. 
    It's only the 2GB 2nd gen nanos  MA477LL part number, that do not work with Lion / 10.7.4 / iTunes 10.6.3.
    2nd gen MA477LL  does not work, it's a 2GB model. I have two of these.  Neither works.
    2nd gen MA428LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    2nd gen MA426LL  works  it is a 4GB model
    1st gen MA352LL  works - it's a 1st gen nano refurb (1GB)
    1st gen MA350LL  (1GB) - this is another 1st gen nano refurb, but one that's formatted for Windows (and had nothing on it when I connected it).  For some reason it mounted fine in Mac iTunes environment and even let me drag an AAC track onto it.  I was dumbfounded.   On the desktop, its sys info showed info like any FAT32 flashdrive but it did have an iPod nano icon on it.   I ejected it from iTunes and plugged in a pair of earbuds and hit play on the track. It plays fine.   Go figure!  I rechecked the settings in the device.  It does say Windows for the format. I feel like I'm in the Bermuda triangle.  I might have to reformat it next time a Windows iTunes setup sees that nano though.
    So bottom line here with the second gen nanos:    it's the 2GB model, the 2nd gen nanos with model MA477LL that do not work in Lion and iTunes 10.6.3 for whatever reason.   Both of my devices with that model number do work fine on an older MBA running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.
