Podcast tab hangs in iTunes during a sync

Using itunes 10.2.2 and an odd things started - when trying to sync an iphone or ipad, you can select the various tabs in itunes to make changes (apps, movies, photos, etc) but once you select "podcasts" itunes hangs and needs to be forced quit. Happens with both ipad and iphone. Podcasts play fine on the device and off itunes. Have re-installed itunes and restored ipad = same issue.

This is an easy fix. Just try this: Without connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from automatically syncing". Next authorize your computer for all Apple IDs used to purchase these apps in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer. Now connect your phone and when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes right-Right click on its name and select Transfer Purchases (this will transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library). Right-click again and select Backup. Now go through the various tabs and select your sync settings (Music, etc.), being careful not to select to sync contacts or calendars on the Info tab unless the program you are syncing with has at least one contact and one calendar event (which will trigger a merge or replace prompt when you first sync). When you have everything the way you want click Apply to sync your phone. Note: When you sync to a new iTunes library iTunes will erase all iTunes media and replace it with the media in the library you are syncing with. You have transferred your apps so they will sync back, however you must also import your music and other media to your library or it will not be transferred back to your phone when you sync.

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!

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!

Disappearing Podcast Favorites

I lost all of my Podcast favorites recently which was a pain, as you can imagine. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a way of backing it up so it doesn't happen again? This list is different to my iTunes list of podcasts, the two don't seem related in any way.

It WAS working fine on my system too, until recently.
I have rebooted / reset the Apple TV and rebooted router, all to no effect.

Podcast Favorite's List not removing podcasts

I have having some problems with my podcast favorites list. I cannot seem to be able to remove podcast from the list. When I click on "Remove from list" the option changes back to "Add to favorites", but when I go to the favorite's list all of those podcasts still show up.

I am experiencing the same issue. The latest update 2.3.1 did not fix it either. If I choose "Add to Favorites" it will simply add another instance of that podcast to my Favorites list, if I then choose "Remove from Favorites" it will only remove the new instance that was added, not the existing one that had been there all along.
Cheers,

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?

Podcast favorites screen

When using my second gen Apple TV, calling up the Favorites screen listed under Podcasts worked well for a while, but then took longer and longer to display my Favorites. Resetting the Apple TV worked at first, but now the Apple TV refuses to show the favorites even after minutes of waiting. How do I fix this once and for all?

I stand corrected, iTunes 11.3 is available. (There's a surprise!)
Given how bad the iTunes 11.2 update was, I will not be updating my iTunes until I understand what the issues are going to be. So currently, I have not yet experienced the Podcast splash screen, so don't know what the problem is. However, I've no doubt someone will post here shortly, to let you know how to get past it.
Sorry I can't be more help at this time. It does sound like the splash screen that appeared in iTunes 11.2 though, so surely they haven't messed this up as well?

Managing Apple TV Podcast Favorites

It was easy to set up which podcasts I wanted in my favorites list, but I can't figure out how to unmark individual episodes of a podcast that I don't want to watch so it doesn't keep the blue dot next to those episodes and count them in the number of unwatched episodes in that particular podcast.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the update. I can't test it out again now because my fiancee is watching wedding shows on our TV (another story for another forum, I suppose), but I'll try again doing that specific thing and also try again using my white remote if that doesn't work.
Just to make sure, I am supposed to:
1) Choose a specific podcast and go to it's list of episodes (the one that gives you the option to add to/remove from favorites at the very top and lists all the episodes below that)
2) Highlight the episode I want to mark/unmark
3) Press down on the enter button and hold it pressed it
4) A menu of options will come up that I can choose from
Let me know if that there is anything wrong with that. I'll let you know if I can get it to work when the wedding shows are over.
Thanks for all your help.

Organizing podcast Favorites - How to?

We'd like to be able to sort/organize our podcasts as listed in the Apple TV 2 Favorites heading. Currently the podcasts appear in random order. Has anyone had success with this?

Ah,thanks for a great solution. Just a note - apparently this does work with the basic Apple Remote, but not with the REMOTE App for iOS devices. I have gotten the podcasts to wiggle by holding down the Options button in the lower left corner of the Remote "control" window, but haven't been able to get the icons to move using the Remote app.
Again thanks so much, our podcasts are now orgaized!

Audio Podcast favorites

Hi,
It's seem's incredible but i can put in favorites the audio podcast on itunes, how can I do ?
It is really a big mess this soft !

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.

Apple TV 2nd Gen current software version not displaying podcast favorites badges correctly.

New podcasts are available, but the badge isn't appearing on the podcast icon.

I too am having this issue were two of my Apple TVs are showing duplicate MAC Addresses. I have varrified this by looking at the arp -a cache on multiple machines. I believe this is a major bug in the Apple TV software. Can we please get a fix.

TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

same problem here!!!!!

Podcast favorites deleted after every upgrade

Is there a way not to have my podcasts deleted everytime there is an upgrade?

There have been issues with latest updates - hopefully they'll have corrected it for future versions.
