Partially Listened To Podcasts in iPod are Deleted when Syncing

When I only listen to part of a long podcast and then go to sync with iTunes, the partially listened to podcast is deleted from the iPod. The only way to get it to reload on my iPod is to mark it as unplayed after the sync (and deletion) and then resync and fast forward (very annoying) to the point where I left off.

I find this behavior very annoying as well.
Here's another one: I can't play a podcast category and have all of the individual episodes played in sequence.

  • Apps are deleted when sync ipod

    When I sync my touch, apps on it keep getting deleted so i have to stop the sync
    Why does it keep doing that? What can I do?

    I just tried again and it says "you have authorize this computer, if you don't your apps will be deleted"
    i keep authorizing it and it says "this computer is already authorized"
    But it keeps asking me to authorize it anyway

  • Podcast photo thumbnail image deletes when syncing with computer

    Subject line says it all.
    Download a podcast via wifi direct to phone, no problems. Podcast image (logo, host photo) visible on phone.
    Download podcast to iTunes, image visible on computer in iTunes, sync phone with itunes/computer, image does not get to phone and any existing images on the phone go away - Podcast audio makes it to the phone, but the image associated with the podcast, all gone - Just an empty black box where the image should be.
    How to fix?
    Keeps me from syncing my phone with my computer.

    I would assume that your restore should have done everything a Reset would, nevertheless, try the Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe! You have nothing to lose in more ways than one!

  • ITunes no longer syncs partially listened-to podcasts with my iPod

    Hey, everyone. Since I downloaded the new iTunes 11, I've run into a problem with the podcasts I listen to. I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts, many of which are quite lengthy. For that reason, I often can't listen to the whole podcast in a single day. However, with the new iTunes, if I sync up my iPod while partway through a podcast, the iPod loses the partially listen-to podcast. It's as if the software assumes that since I've listened to part of it, I don't want it to sync anymore.
    This is, of course, not the case. Is there a setting somewhere that I can toggle to make iTunes give me ALL my podcasts, regardless of whether I've listened to part of them (or even all all of them)? In short, I want my podcasts folder in iTunes to match what's on my iPod, not have iTunes make guesses about what I'll want.
    Thanks for any help!

    OK, figured this out and wanted to post the solution in case anyone else experiences this.
    When you plug in your iPod, iTunes should start up automatically and sync. A button, "iPod," should appear at the top of the iTunes player, just below the search window. Click it (but not the eject symbol on it).
    This brings up the iPod control settings. Along the top menu, there will be several submenu options: "Summary," "Music," "Movies," "TV Shows," "Podcasts," etc. Clock "Podcasts."
    Here there will be a radio button next to "Sync Podcasts." Make sure that is checked. There is also a radio button next to "Automatically include..." Click that to on as well. Then, if you want iTunes to STOP deleting partially listened-to podcasts, make sure the options in the two drop-down menus say "all" and "all podcasts." Thus, you'll end up with: "Automatically include all episodes of all podcasts."
    Hope this helps. The new iTunes is far from user-friendly.

  • My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

    My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

    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?

  • ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

    mozilla ask me if I want to compact, I click yes . . Then, ALL my emails in my inbox are deleted when I compact . . WHY ???

    Any time mail disappears from the server, there's a pretty good chance there's some device pulling it off. This can happen even without you intending it to. For example, the default Verizon setup for a long time (and possibly still) configured Outlook automatically unless you were paying attention and unchecked the box during the install.
    The easiest way to fix it is to change your password. Once the device(s) can no longer authenticate, the disappearances should stop.

  • Does not say "The oldest backups are deleted when your disk becomes full."

    I am helping someone set up her backup, but I noticed that in the Time Machine window, there is no line that says: "The oldest backups are deleted when your disk becomes full."
    She is running Mac OS 10.5.8, on a 2.66 GHz Quad-Core. Her first backup ran fine, but we're concerned that it will not delete older backups automatically to make space.

    It works differently in Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    In Leopard, the box is titled +Warn when old backups are deleted,+ and Time Machine will fail with a message when it runs out of room and that box is checked.
    On Snow Leopard, the title is +Notify after old backups are deleted,+ and that's what happens -- the old backups are deleted, then you get a notice.

  • IPhone Contacts Deleted when Syncing

    Help!! My iPhone contacts were deleted when syncing. And only kept a few from my Address Book. Is there a way I can restore them? Please Help! Thanks.

    Me too. Although I don't see what MobileMe has to do with it, I don't use it.

  • How can I get iTunes to not delete partially listened to podcasts?

    I have Google searched this, asked all my Mac friends (for years) and I just don't know what I'm missing or why this happens....
    I listen to a lot of podcasts, pretty much 8 hours a day and lots in the evenings after I get the kids to bed. So here's what my problem is. Lets say I have an episode that's an hour long. I get through half of it in the evening and when I plug my iPod Touch (gen 1, old school I know) before bed to sync up all new episodes overnight, the episode I have only partially listened to gets deleted.
    From my understanding of things, a podcast that has been played, even if only for a few minutes of an hour long episode, is marked as "Played"....though the little blue icon in iTunes shows a half filled blue circle. Is there no distinguishing between a not listened to episode, a partially listened to episode (that I want to keep on the iPod until I finish it!), and a completely listened to episode? It's either been played or not, despite how much of the episode has been played?
    Ideally I want iTunes to delete from my iPod anything I've listed to all the way to the end. That works great with the current settings I have. I don't want it to delete episodes I've partially listened to and I'd sure like it if it would not only NOT delete it, but leave a marker where I left off so I can sync new episodes over night but pick up at the 28 minute mark where I left off on the episode I was listening to the night before.
    Now, when this occurs, I have to go into that podcast's list, click the partially listened to episode as not having been listened to, resync the ipod and download it to the ipod again...then try to remember where the heck I left off.
    Anyone have any suggestions, fixes, links to forum posts on what to do to get this very simple idea to work?
    Thank you in advance for reading this. I can't believe it's taken me 4+ years to finally post on my frustration...

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • URGENT!!! My apps are deleted when i sync as i transfer videos

  • Apps purchased on iPad are being deleted when syncing with iTunes

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with the apps that I purchase using my iPad not syncing with iTunes. I have purchased several apps and books. When I use my iPad to make the purchase and then plug the device into my computer to allow it to sync, iTunes goes through the process of backing up the iPad and then transfering purchases over. When it gets to the step for syncing tracks it goes and removes all of the apps that it just said it was transfering the purchases over for. Nothing I do seems to work to fix this issue so that the apps aren't removed when I sync. So far the only ones that stay on my computer and device are the apps that I used my computer to buy and then are synced onto my iPad. Please let me know what to do about this as I have lost several apps.
    Thanks
    Josef

    I am not sure what the problem could be.
    You may want to try disabling auto-sync, make some purchases on your iPad, and then transfering the purchases and see if they show up in your iTunes library and the checkbox for the apps are checked for syncing to your iPad. If they are then you can try syncing and see if that deletes them from your iTunes library.
    The link for instructions on transfering your purchase is as follows:

  • Emails saved in my Saved folder are deleted when I click Empty Trash! Is there a fix for this?

    What more details are needed to answer this question? I put some emails in my Saved folder. However, when I want to delete just the emails I have read, the Saved emails are deleted along with the ones I want deleted. If they're saved, why would they be deleted? I want them saved!

  • Artwork gets deleted when Syncing podcasts

    I've had this issue forever and dammit it must be fixed. I download a podcast directly from the Touch. When I sync with iTunes the podcast artwork ALWAYS gets deleted. When I disconnect the touch and play my podcasts, there is no artwork at all, just the bowling pin/armless person thing with circles around it that is there by default. ***? This is a piddly thing but losing the artwork *****.

    I assume you mean tothe Touch over the Wi-Fi.
    If you don't find a fix for this, an alternative solution is to download Podcasts to iTunes from the iTunes Store and then Sync them to your Touch. I suggest this because there have been small issues with apps not working when downloaded directly to the Touch and this sounds as though it could be a similar problem.

  • All paths are deleted when saving as jpeg

    This problem has been migrating and now is affecting all of my files.
    When I save an image as a jpeg from the "Save As" dropdown menu (NOT save for web) all of my paths are gone when the image is repoened.
    Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.5
    iMAC 27"
    12 gigs of RAM 5 gigs free
    800 gigs of free space on the system drive
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Disk Permissions Repaired
    Can someone who knows anything please help?

    Hi all,
    I was also having the same problem, some JPEG lost its path after saving....
    My situation was, when i made a selection and convert it to work path with tolerance 0.5px and save the path. After that, saved it as another name but it still lost its all paths. I tried to increase the tolerance to 1px and then save it again, this time all the path still remained. we have to guess the tolerance where the path will not lost. I think this is not the case that affect the losing of the paths. After reading all the above posts, i guess it is related to Extensis Fusion plug in problem. I tried to remove away from photoshop plug in folder and tried with the image that caused the losing path, this time i had successfully save the work path no matter what tolerance was given.
    I hope this will solve your problem.

  • Old podcasts added back as new when syncing iPhone

    I have my iPhone and iTunes set to not sync any podcast subscriptions, so that all my podcast data is stored on my phone and not my computer. But since the Podcasts app was updated for iOS 7, whenever I sync my phone a few old podcast episodes get added back as unplayed episodes, even though I've listened to them on my phone and they've been automatically deleted. Also, new episodes that I haven't listened to are often deleted when I sync, so I have to go back into the catalogue and re-download them.
    Any ideas on how to keep this from happening?

    yeah but if you have a backup of the old data you can restore it to the new laptop and it will replace the data on the iphone with the same data from the backup
