Podcast - Download when Sync'ing iTunes say no longer exist

I decided to try and download Podcasts after getting a wee bit bored of them in the past.
I went to the iTunes Store podcast section
Selected
Chris Moyles (non-enhanced)
Russel Brand
They both downloaded fine and are sat on my iTunes library.
However when I attempt to SYNC my iPod (mini) with iTunes I get the message that they cannot be sync'ed due to they no longer exist.
They are sat there!
So I then decided to delete them from the library download them again, the un plug my ipod and plug it back in for the auto-update.
Same message, and they don't get dragged across to my ipod.
Any clues to why this is happening (I have enough space).
Thanks

It appears that I solved the problem. (I like to post my solutions so as to both not waste peoples time and so that if this ever happens to someone else it might help.)
My iTunes alias of the iTunes folder that is by default placed in the Music folder (i.e. ~/Music/iTunes) was broken after the partition where I had moved it was recreated.
Or... since I also forced a re-prebinding (not a simple 'update prebinding') it may have been this since my music in the same folder (on the recreated iTunes folder on the recreated partition) was playing fine and from 10.4.9 the podcasts played fine.
So it may have been both... but anyway... the podcasts are working fine again.

  • Deleted podcasts return when syncing with itunes

    My podcasts sync perfectly from itunes to my ipad & iphone.  However, when i listen to an individual podcast or delete the entire subscription from either my ipad or iphone i have aproblem.  They are deleted from my device but when i next sync with my itunes on my pc, all the deleted podcasts or subscriptions are put back on my device.  I want them to be deleted from my Itunes not put back on my device.  Obviously i dont want them any more.  When I delete an app from my device, it is deleted from my itunes library for that device. I know it is still in itunes if i need it but itunes doesnt keep putting it back on my device.  How can I get podcasts to either act the same way as the apps do, or get itunes to actually delete the podcasts i have deleted from my device??

    Are you using the "Podcasts" app on your device?  If so, then that app manages all your podcasts locally on your device. 
    If you aren't using the Podcasts app on your device, then your podcasts will be managed by iTunes, and updates downloaded to your device whenever your sync it with iTunes.  Deleting an episide on your device will temporarily get you space back on your device, which might be helpful temporarily in case you need the space for something.  The next time you sync, iTunes will repopulate any episides that are missing from your device, unless you've marked them as played already, or otherwise changed something in iTunes to prevent them from copying back to your device again (delete them, take them out of whatever smart playlist you are using to send podcasts to your device, etc.).

  • When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

    when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.  Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in.  Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

  • Why when it has less apps than my iphone does my ipod touch say it got 4gb on it when synced to itunes ect

    why is my ipod touch showing when synced to itunes that it has 4gb of apps when there are 9 apps on yet my iphone that has the same apps and lots more says it has less than 1gb, can anyone help please as cannot put any music on the ipod touch. thanks

    try connecting the Touch in recovery mode, then set it up as a new device.
    if that fails, you might want to try to put the device in DFU mode.

  • Itunes is stating that my ipod has space but when i sync it itunes says i need an additional 1.32GB

    tunes is stating that my ipod has space but when i sync it itunes says i need an additional 1.32GB

    Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

  • HT204478 When syncing in ITUNES (IMAC) it will asked whether to use IPHOTO or PHOTOS. If I choose PHOTOS it says that PHOTOS is not ready to come back later. I have tried this several times. It will only sync to IPHONE. Am I missing something.?

    Try designating a System Photo Library. Then your apps will use that.

  • Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
    Download past purchases
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Can't find titles when sync'ing to ipod

    Hello --
    When sync'ing my ipod clasic to  to itunes ( win/xp )  I see messages that some titles are not
    sync'ed since they are not found -- I there a log file written someplace that can tell me the path
    if the title itunes ais trying to copy to the ipod -- thanks
    Frank

    Contrary to the new model wich allows only syncing, the old Apple TV (1st generation) allows syncing and streaming from an iTunes library.
    For syncing you should pair your Apple TV (1st generation) to your computer's iTunes Library instead of just connecting it to it's shared iTunes Library for streaming
    Here you will find the explanation on how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1143
    If your Apple TV (1st generation) was already paired and/or connected to your computer I suggest that you first  unpair it and/or disconnect it.

  • Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes

    Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes. Can I get old (full) contacts back?
    Bakstory: Laptop crashed, got restored, but without contacts. Mistakenly thought I could upload them from my iPod. I hit sync. Big mistake. When I disconnected, I saw my iPod has the measley 4 contacts I DID have on my laptop after the crash, instead of the hundreds I had on the iPod just minutes before.
    Note: There is nothing in the desktop Trashcan that says "contacts."
    I also tried to post this question in the iTunes section, but for some reason I can't seem to post there.
    Thanks for any help!
    (Man, everyone agrees this is a design flaw--in how you share info from iPod to CPU and can easily overwrite things you don't want to. They should fix that.)

    Yes, you can do that.
    On the computer that you only want to sync contacts & calendars to just unselect content like music, photos, apps, etc.
    You can only sync content like music with one computer at a time, content like contacts with as many as you like.
    Before you sync your contacts & calendar with the laptop, make sure you have one entry in address book & ical, select merge at the prompt, do not select replace.
    Make sure you disable auto sync when a ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.

  • HT1386 How do we keep one phone contacts seperate from the other when syncing with itunes

    How do you keep one phones contacts, calendar, etc from another phone when syncing with itunes?

    Disable auto-syncing. Here’s how:
    1. Before you plug the iPhone or iPod into the computer, go to iTunes.
    2. On a Mac, go to the iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices.
    On a PC, go to Edit -> Settings -> Devices
    3. In the pop up window, look for the icon or tab that says Devices. Choose it.
    4. Just below the box, you’ll see a checkbox reading "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically."
    5. Check it and click OK at the bottom of the window.
    Now when you plug the phone in it won't automatically star syncing.
