Played podcasts are not synced

When I sync with iTunes I have to manually mark each podcast as played (on the iPod). Otherwise it is reloaded as unplayed on the iPod. Shouldn't Sync work both ways?

Did you ever figure this out? I just realized I posted a similar question. 9 months later and no Apple staff have answered this question nor have they fixed this (if it is a bug)? Not particularly impressive.

Played Podcasts are not removed from iPhone despite iTunes settings?

Hi,
In iTunes I have set my general Podcast settings to only sync unplayed podcasts to my iPhone. However, when synced, the played podcasts remain on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

I have exactly this problem. Alongside the podcasts I subscribe to via iTunes, I download some random ones from time to time via the iPhone itself. Now I simply can't rid myself of the files - they show on the iPhone screen but not when connected to iTunes and they are restored to my library every time I reconnect to the Mac. There seems to be no way of deleting the things - I even tried de-synching all podcasts and re-synching again but this didn't work either.
This only seems to have happened since I upgraded to iOS 5. Mine is a 3gs by the way.
Any answers anyone?

Video Podcasts are not syncing

I initially thought this was a problem with my ipod, but after looking at the file types that I'm downloading (the Clerks 2 and South Park video podcasts) it looks like the file type I'm downloading isn't compatible with the ipod (quicktime). Why is this happening? Why is a video podcast not compatible with my ipod? Am I doing something wrong?

Video Podcasts do not have to publish in iPod compatable formats. Some podcasters may feel the resolution is too low for their requirements.

My podcasts are not playing on my iShuffle now that I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this?, My podcasts are playing on my iShuffle now that I've upgraded to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this?

I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks. However in iTunes, my podcasts are not playing on my iShuffle now even though they show they have been downloaded.
What am I doing wrong?

Reset the iPod > Resetting iPod shuffle

I am getting a message that "my podcasts are not available at this time" Second day this has happened, i have synced phone many times. what is going on?

I am getting a message on my iphone 5 for the last two days saying that " my podcasts are not available at this time"-any ideas of what this could mean? I have synced phone many times. Is it itunes? My carrier?
thanks

I just figured out a solution. I connected my ipod to my computer, went to the 'info' tab on the menu for my ipod. I checked 'Sync Mail Accounts', which were greyed out until I selected them. That connected me to the Cloud and everything went back to normal. Hope this helps someone else!

HT1386 Podcasts will not sync to iPhone

I have the lastest version of OS, iOS, and iTunes. I can sync the podcast to iTunes and play them on my Mac Mini. When I plug my iPhone 4S into the Mac with a USB cable, I select the phone and sync to iTunes. It goes through the 7 step process but the podcasts are not transfered to the iPhone. The podcast title does show on my iPhone and I click the download icon on the podcast title on my iPhone. The podcast appears to download. I can turn off wifi and start the podcast and it will play on my iPhone. When I am on the train where I really want to listen to the podcast, I click play and the phone tells me I need to use cellular data. What gives and what am I missing?

Sarvie, have you tried a sync with no songs or video selected? That might be worth a shot. That is how I found out about the "show all music" button - I still had a bunch of songs syncing to the phone although I selected none.
After I finally got a clean sync with no songs, it took two syncs to get all of my music I wanted back on the phone. It was a total of about 2300 songs and the first pass missed about 500 of those. I also found that I had to do a reboot of the phone before each sync.
It is really sad that we have to figure this stuff out in what is supposed to be release quality software.

Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

Podcast are not in the podcast directory

Hi,
I just reformat my hard disk, I re-install Itunes, the latest version, I have subscribe and downloaded my favorite podcast.
I sync my Ipod nano every thing went fine but my podcast are not in my podcast directory on my ipod, I have to artist...
What can I do to fix that problem?
thanks

Feedburner ha done its usual trick of ramming a lot of extraneous code into the feed in order to be compatible with other rss readers, and for the most part it is this which is causing FeedValidator to report problems. The lack of line breaks makes the feed very difficult to read, but I would think that iTunes will simply ignore the tags which aren't aimed at it: the fact that it's been accepted suggested that you don't have a problem here.
However, searching just on the category is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display one one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.

TS4062 Songs are not syncing.

Itunes videos skip and are not synced with sound. Using windows 7.

Videos are not synced with sound and skip in itunes only, using windows 7. No other video issues, only in itunes.

It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

Voices are not sync with video after upgrade to imovie11

After the upgrade to Imovie11, the voices are not sync with the movie.
I digitaled a lot of Sony Handicam Video 8 (HI8) tapes, also many other tapes.
All the movies, incl. the new ones, has the problem with de voices.

I gather you are using DV files. Here's what you should expect after upgrading to version 9.0.2 of iMovie '11: if you have event-clips that are longer than an hour and half you will have a noticeable lack of synchronization near the end of the clip. The only way I know of reducing the gap between audio and video while still using iMovie '11 is to open the file in QuickTime 7 (not X) and trim the file so that only the footage your tying to fix is left. Save that shortened file and import it into iMovie. It should seem synchronized now. But there is probably a remaining problem: the picture quality is has been lowered by being in iMovie. To check this, open you DV files in MPEG Streamclip. If there is no improvement in quality, you're lucky. When I play my DV files (from Video8--the original analog 8mm video) in MPEG Streamclip the color and tones are much richer. In iMovie '11 (and, I think, iMovie '09), the picture is washed out, lacking color saturation and general subtlety. This makes all makes iMovie '11 (at least) essentially useless for DV files--if my experience is generalizable. What I don't know at this point is whether these two kinds of problems (lack of synchronization and picture degradation) are avoidable by using iMovie '06 or Final Cut Express.

My podcasts will not sync (icloud) between PC and iphone 4s and ipad 2

My podcasts will not sync (icloud) between PC and iphone 4s and ipad 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you are using ios 6.1 or later not 6.0.1 (or older). Your iTunes Notes setting for iPad and iPhone in iCloud. Also Notes setting in both devices are in iCloud.
My New iPad using 6.1 and iPhone 4S using 6.1.2. No problem sync Notes on both devices.
I hope this can help.

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.

Playlists are not syncing on mac and macbook - have match

I have itunes match turned on on my imac, my macbook pro and my iphone. The playlists are not syncing which I thought they would and I thought they did match at one point. For instance:
I have a playlist named bachelorette party I created on my macbook pro itunes. I put 53 songs on it and it played just fine at the party on my iphone, all 53 songs were on my phone.
Today, there are 12 songs on my phone in the bachelorette party playlist, 12 on my macbook pro, and 41 on my imac. So, 53 songs total, but not on anyone device.
Seems to me like I should have 53 of the exact same songs on all devices since I have itunes match enabled on all.
Am I missing something? I have home sharing turned on to.
I appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks!!

Also, I should add that I tested the itunes match buy purchasing a song in itunes on my macbook, then i dragged it to my bachelorette playlist. Sure enough, it showed up on my iphone in the bachelorette playlist moments later. However, it did not appear in the same playlist on imac. It appears as if my imac does not want to play along...lol.

Games are not syncing across iOS devices

My games are not syncing across my iOS devices. Both my iPhone and iPad are running the same software and are linked to the same account. However my games don't seem to sync. Which is annoying if I'm playing a game on one device I have to start over on another. For example temple run does not sync. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm also having the same problem with infinity blade 2.

Game syncs only work for games that support iCloud. The game developer has to enable that feature. There are several games such as Jetpack Joyride and League of Evil 2 that support iCloud syncing of games. Unfortunately, other games like Temple Run don't do that since the dev never implemented that feature.
