Podcast Favorites and 2.3 Update

I had several podcasts as favorites before the 2.3 update. Now I cannot remove them. The old favorites are there, but not marked as favorites. If I mark them as favorites, then they are duplicated. Unmark them and the duplicate goes away.
In other words, any podcast that was marked as a favorite before the 2.3 update is now just "stuck" there.
Any one else see this? Any solution?

i had an issue with a podcast not being removed in v2.2 so i don't think it is v2.3 that has introduced that issue.
i think it is more to do with the podcast itself though, as i noticed a few of mine had changed the artwork associated to it, and i had to remove and re-add it for it to correct itself.
i think some podcast owners are changing things in the background in their xml files and it is confusing the appletv.

Podcast Favorites Disappearing and Reappering on Apple TV

About 6 weeks ago all my Podcast Favorites no longer showed up. After this weeks (9/25) Apple TV update they appeared again. The new ones I entered over the last few weeks are also listed.
Why did I lose the favorites originally, and what can I do to prevent the Apple TV podcast favorites from disapperaing in tthe future?

Cool! Fixed my playlist issue too!

Podcast Feeds and Custom Workflows missing after 10.6.2 update

Podcast Producer was working fine. I had some custom workflows and a number of podcasts. Then I applied 10.6.2 System Update.
Now my custom Workflows are missing in the Podcast Capture dialog box, the web page shows no podcasts (and the fact that it was updated at the time I ran Software Update!).
I have tried pcastconfig --sync_library without success.
The podcasts are there, the atom feed just can't see them!
And ideas what I need to delete/change?
Nick

I have managed to get all but one of my workflows back using (as root)
podcast --installworkflow --path /Library/PodcastProducer/Shared/Server/Workflows/F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB 495B1B.pwf
where F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB495B1B.pwf was one of the missing custom workflows identified by creation date.
then
podcast --enableworkflow --workflow_uuid F520417E-7E57-4EF8-8FE1-4CD1CB495B1B
Also I used Podcast Composer on a client machine instead.
Copy the problematic workflow over to the client machine, open it up in Podcast Composer, and then use the option to Deploy to Server.

Lost music and video after updating podcasts

For some reason all the music and videos on my iPod have disappeared, or I should say become inaccessible as it says I have none but the space they were taking up
is still in use, so they are somewhere on my iPod.
I was downloading a few new podcasts via a wi-fi connection and afterwards it "updated" my library and then the music and videos were gone (podcasts remained)
Help!

Have you reset your iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doe snot work I would next try resyncing.

Podcast favorites no longer work

My atv2 won't play podcasts from favorites anymore. Worked great for a while and then it shows connecting to iTunes and just keeps spinning. Everything else works fine. I can get podcasts to work by searching for them manually but after saving them a favorites and trying to play them from the favorites menu it fails

I have the same problem... It seems the favorite podcast list will never load up anymore. It happened for me after applying the 4.2.2 update. More frustration. I'm trying to figure out how to clean off the favorites list and try something else, but it looks like the only way is to perform a factory restore to wipe everything out.
Now that I think about it, I had other updating problems with it as well with the last update and ended up having to restore/reset several times. Maybe updating is not a good thing to do?

After itunes 6.0.2 and 1-10 updater - both ipods crash itunes when updating

I'm annoyed.
I upgraded my to iTunes 6.0.2 (Windows XP) and ran the 1-10 updater on two ipods - a mini and a 20GB pre-photo model (I guess that's a 3rd gen?). After doing so, iTunes crashes when updating begins. If I plug an ipod in without iTunes, everything is OK and I can see the unit and directory structure in Explorer. When the ipod is disconnected and I run iTunes, everything is fine - no problems. But when you connect an ipod, iTunes sees it, and then shows "Updating ipod", it sits like that for awhile, then I hear the hard drive in the iPod click, and a few seconds later I get:
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. etc.
I tried doing a restore of one of my ipods (the 3rd gen) to the 2005-11-17 firmware by running that updater and doing "Restore". The problem is still happening, but now my ipod is empty because I did the restore!
Unfortunately, I can't tell what the problem is - iTunes or the 1-10 update.
Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas? Can I downgrade iTunes?
Please help!
Chris

Has anyone come up with a method to resolve this issue? I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and no luck.
One very obvious thing I can see is that 2006-1-10 update clearly bombs iTunes fast. I downgrade my firmware to 2005-11-17 and it appears to want to update. I'm attempting to update again (about the 30th time since I've had this problem a few days ago). Let's see how it goes since I've actually done this before... One thing I'm doing differently though is syncing just the podcasts, no music. It shouldn't make a difference, but maybe there's something odd in there with DRM?
Another observation - when I connected the iPod with the My Computer window open, I saw the H: drive (my ipod) appear for a few seconds. It then disappeared from there, iTunes came up, and then reappeared. iTunes tried to sync, but then bombed out.
I hope this helps someone..
I can't believe that Apple hasn't responded to this issue yet. This has to be impacting more than a few hundred users on this site.

Why did Firefox reset itself and delete all my bookmarks and favorites and how can i restore all my important information ? thank you .

Hello , this is what happen ! I turned on my Desktop from being in sleep mode and as it came on Firefox restored everything and made me lose all my settings and all my toolbar favorites and bookmarks , all my work was on here and all the compan y's I have dealt with in automobile restorations .
I tried a system restore from a date of a week ago but nothing came back , I really need someones help to restore my Favorites .I would also like the other version of firefox I feel lost with the version I have now and I dont like change .
Thank you .

Click on "Bookmarks" in your "Menu Bar".
Next click on "Show All Bookmarks"
The Library Dialog will open to you bookmarks. At the top of the dialog will be the option to "Import and Backup". Click "Import and Backup" scroll down to "Restore", when your hovers over "Restore" a list of backed up bookmarks should appear. If not, quite possibly Firefox has not been saving backups.
You can also manually save bookmark backups from the "Show All Bookmarks" portion of the Library by clicking "Import and Backup", and then "Backup..."
Also if you open another tab, you can type "about:config" in the address bar and press <ENTER>. This opens options not normally accessible. The first time it gives you a warning, you can disable the warning or leave it in place for the next the you open "about:config".
In the Search Bar type "bookmarks" and press <ENTER> . A list of attributes should narrow down to a few attributes about bookmarks. Look for "browser.bookmarks.max_backups" see what value is set... it should be set to "10". It sets the maximum number of automatic updates. To change it to a different value double click that attribute and increase/decrease just don't go overboard. Also you can delete older backups, just be careful. My bookmarks are listed with the newest ones first.

Podcasting, iWeb and iTunes Store?

I'm transferring my Rapidweaver site to iWeb because RW screws up the feed xml so that iTunes Store will not read it and update my podcast episodes.
Anyway I just wanted to know (I already have my Podcast registered with iTunes Store) when I add a new podcast to iWeb each week do I have to go File > Submit podcast to iTunes every time (ie; each week when I create a new podcast) ?
Also I noticed the feed RW produces is feed://www.domainname.com/podcasts_files/podcast.xml and iWeb produces feed://www.domainname.com/podcasts_files/rss.xml (ie:same name except ends with rss.xml instead of podcast.xml). Given that I have already registered my Podcast with iTunes how will this change of feed name effect it?
Thanks

When people subscribe to your RW podcast then they will notice after a while that there are no new podcasts anymore.
So you either have to delete your current podcast from iTunes (Read the manual how to do that) and/or add a new podcast.
There is no need for the iTunes Store to subscribe to a podcast. Just entering (Click on the RSS icon) the new rss feed in iTunes is enough.

I have two podcast menus and iTunes crashes when sync'ing

I have used iTunes for my podcast subscriptions for years, but suddenly after donwloading a new podcast, i now have two podcast menus i my navigation bar.
I moved the last podcast from podcasts to books hence it was an audiobook, but the menu item remains, and i no longer get the count for items i havent listned to, yet.
Furthermore, the last downloaded podcast still remains in the menuitem but without any media in it.
I have now deleted the podcast container, and restarted iTunes, but all that got me was two podcast menus where one is just empty.
Finally, iTunes crashes everytime i try to sync my podcast subscriptions, iTunes crashes
I' running Lion 1.7.2 (with server) and iTunes 10.5.3 and no updates are available in either the appStore nor software update.
Everything (except Server) is in Danish.
Anyone have an idea on what to do?
/Michael H.

He he. A little while later, I found this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3631661?start=0&tstart=0
Which helped me a bit to solve it that way. Apparently iTunes thinks that the original Podcast entry in the Library is a kind of playlist, which can be deleted. The new one can't. So, I needed to resubscribe to my podcasts in the new one and delete the old (right click/control click) on the Podcast item and choose delete.
So there may be two ways to fix it. Hope this post helps out others in the future.

Overzealous podcast syncing and random reorganization

i tunes wants to sync the entire library of my podcast archives, and not just the 1(or 3 or whatever) most recent unplayed that i have designated. so when i plug my ipod into my computer i get the message that there is not enough room to copy the requested files and this message pops up repeatedly whether i click ok or cancel. my podcasts are getting dumped into my recently played folder whether or not they have been played. there is no podcast folder in my ipod, though at one point there was, but before that there wasn't.
dell Windows XP Pro

I have the same problem (which seems to have occured in cinjinction with the 7.1.1 update). On the synhcing preferences general tab I have "sync only checked" selected. This seems to override the "sync only last three" setting on the Podcast tab when all my podcasts are checked (in which case iTunes attempts to download all of my podcasts). I believe this to be a software bug.
I can work around this by either unslecting the "sync only checked" option on the general tab (downfall is that my whole music library transfers), or uncheck all my podcasts then check only the ones I want transferred (tedious and manual).
Anybody else found a fix?

HT1339 My ipod classic fails the sync test on Windows 7. help say go to summary tab and check for updates. I cannot find a summary tab

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

How to make podcasts favorites?

can somebody tell me how to add podcast to favorites so i can brows to them via my ATV
i can't find a button to do this in the store?

First, you don't select podcast favorites from the iTunes store. You must get an tv. You select your podcast favorites (or create favorites) from the tv by selecting "add to favorites". If you have an Apple tv and if you've looked at podcasts from that device, you surely have seen the add to favorites menu selector. Sheesh!

Missing favorites after last Apple update

I purchased new Apple computer, while husband is still using the older one. After I updated his computer yesterday with new UPDATE, it removed all HIS favorites and is using only mine, and we can't find it anywhere. I even checked iCloud. Any help would be great as there are four years of favorites he's needing for his modeling work.

A
Two or more users are synchronizing Safari with iCloud while signed in with the same Apple ID. At least one should sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID. If you want to keep sharing the same ID, uncheck the box marked Safari in the preference pane.
B
You can only restore the whole bookmarks file to a previous state. It's not possible to restore individual bookmarks.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.
If you don't have such a backup, but the bookmarks are still present on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) that synchronizes with iCloud, then see below.
Back up your iOS devices. Turn off iCloud synchronization of Safari on all devices except one of those. Quit Safari and delete the bookmarks file on the Mac, then enable Safari sync on it. Launch Safari. The bookmarks should sync from the iOS device.

The APP application on my iPad does not function properly - any downloads requested immediately fail and send me back tot he main iPad screen. Any suggestions on to hoe to fix this? The software has been updated to iOS 5.1.1, and no furthe updates are available.

This is my boilerplate response when app downloads are stalled or in the "waiting" mode. There are a bunch of things here to try.
Tap on the "installing" icon and see if you can pause the install, then tap on it again in order to resume the install.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download and install at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and see if the install resumes.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.
