Podcast files deleted
Please help! When I listen to a podcast on my iPod I find that it gets deleted from my iPod but remains in the iTunes library on my iMac. This is very annoying as I often listen to part of an podcast and when trying to listen to the rest of it later on I find it has gone!
Any help will me much appreciated.
Regards
Steve
Try this:
On the Edit menu of i-tunes choose preferences.
Click the podcast tab.
on the "Keep:" dropdown list choose "All Episodes"
Click Ok
I hope this helps.

ITunes podcast file not going to recycle bin after deleted?
After I deleted podcast files from iTunes on my PC running windows XP, sometimes they didn't go to recycle bin but instead stayed in my podcast folder.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong!
I had just deleted to Recycle Bin a whole bunch of podcast this morning, and after I read your post, I checked my PC.
It deleted about 30 and left 3.
Looks buggy to me! -
ITunes is deleting podcast files when I don't want it to.
I installed the latest version of iTunes and set my podcast settings to only dowload podcasts from the last week (since it was trying to download podcast files that I had previously listened to, then deleted), and delete podcasts was set to off.
Now, all of the sudden, it is deleting podcast files that are 1) older than a week and 2) dowloaded with the new iTunes.
I want to go back to the old iTunes behaviour of downloading only the most recent podcast (unless it has been previously downloaded) and only deleting files if done manually!I have to agree. I've been using iTunes/iPods exclusively for listening to podcasts since 2008, and within the past year it's just gotten increasingly frustrating and confusing to use both iTunes and my iPod for this purpose. I just found this thread because my iPod auto-deleted a podcast that I'd only listened to for 10 minutes; and I don't want it to ever delete podcasts without my consent. Truly infuriating.

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?
I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.See... wait for it...

Podcast file to "normal" mp3 file
Please ...
Is it possible to change the podcast file into an MP3 "normal" file and see it in the Library window ?
Thanks
GilFurther development....
If the file has the ID3v2 removed, via mp3rage etc, then it also returns to a normal file. I have done a few tests on iTunes downloaded podcasts, and this does work. However you also lose lots of extra info, such as long titles and descriptions in the lyrics or comments sections, plus artwork.
This is a bit of a pain, but you can copy and paste between old and new file with mp3rage. Slow, but better than clipped info.
So copy the files to a new folder.
drag folder to edit multiple files tags
set ID3v2 to none, ID3v1 to 1.1 and check both boxes & change genre - click update.
now set ID3v2 tag to v2.2.0 and click update.
copy and paste any info you want between old and new files via iTunes and/or mp3rage.
delete old files.
I'm certain this works, and is easy if you don't have long names or need the extra tag info. -
My podcast was deleted, did I lose my subscribers?
Hello,
For a reason I have yet to understand, my podcast was deleted (possibly due to a duplicate feed which I could not seem to get removed). I have checked my feed, and it passes without any problem. So, I've resubmitted and that's all pending.
My reason for posting is because I'm very curious if this means I've now lost all of my fans which have subscribed to my podcast? If so this would be rather upsetting, since we've generated such an impressive following only to suddenly and without warning, lose it all!! To top it all off, this happened just before sending out a mass e-mail regarding our successfully expanding popularity on itunes and referring people to subscribe... so now we're stuck with sending out a follow up e-mail to apologize for technical difficulties! Needless to say, this is going to look super bad on our part, and I really wish we had been given some form of warning before we were dumped... but whatever, I'm just ranting.
Does anybody know the answer to this? I hope the news is good...
PS, just for reference, here's my feed: http://www.amysalinger.net/podcast/rss.xml
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Nate004Once someone has subscribed to your feed the iTunes Store is no longer involved: their own copy of the iTunes application is reading the feed file directly. So even if the iTunes Store removes the podcast existing subscribers won't be affected, it's just that you can't get new ones that way.
If you resubmit you may possibly end up having to use a different feed URL if iTunes claims the current one already exists: if you do this you will need to maintain both the original and new feeds in parallel in order to keep your existing subscribers. -
Some downloaded podcast files restart in the middle
Hi,
Every so often, an audio podcast file (from any of a bunch of series I subscribe to) that iTunes downloads has the correct duration, but the contents are oddly corrupted: In mid-playback the audio starts over again. Say it's a 15 min. episode - after 5 min. it starts from the beginning, and it's missing the last 5 minutes.
The problem is in the file, so it's either:
1. Corrupt from the source - doubtful, as I've encountered this from various sources, and such a significant problem wouldn't go unnoticed.
2. Occurs during downloading.
Anyone seen this? Is there a solution? How can I delete an episode and redownload it in iTunes to test hypothesis #2?
Thanks much,
L.I encountered it with a couple of episodes of the History of Rome podcast:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-rome/id261654474
Just had it with episode 9 of "A History of: Hannibal and the Punic Wars":
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/history-hannibal-punic-wars/id557854144
Likewise, 1 or more of the short episodes (under 2 minutes) of Scientific American "60-Second ..." (Space, Health, Science...), for example: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/60-second-science/id189330872
(not sure which of the several series this occured in)
From the files accumulating on my computer it looks like it also happened in episode #408 of Snap Judgement:
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/snap-judgment-radio/id283657561
There may have been others. It's been happening sporadically over a good span of time (give or take a year).
Thanks,

Podcasts - File Open Error N97 mini
I have successfully downloaded podcasts with my N97 mini, but when I go to open/play the podcast I keep getting a "File Open Error" ???
Podcast Library Refresh - General Error
1. Connect your 5800 to you PC in Mass Storage Mode OR connect the microSD to your PC via a Memory card reader.
2. Open Windows Explorer and browse to your memory card drive ..
- To remove and start fresh start go to E:\Private\10281e17 There you should see 4 files 2 are Mp3 files other are Podcast files. Delete the whole 10281e17 folder, its not harm since our device will automatically create a new structure of the folder.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.
Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
File.delete() and File.deleteOnExit() doesn't work consistently..
I am seeing some odd behavior with trying to delete files that were opened. Usually just doing new File("file.txt").delete() would work. However, in this case, I have created an input stream to the file, read it in, saved it to another location (copied it), and now I am trying to delete it.
The odd thing is, in my simple application, the user can work with one file at a time, but I move "processed" files to a lower pane in a swing app. When they exit it, it then archives all the files in that lower pane. Usually every file but the last one opened deletes. However, I have seen odd behavior where by some files don't delete, sometimes all of them wont delete. I tried the deleteOnExit() call which to me should be done by the JVM after it has released all objects such that they don't matter and the JVM ignores any object refs and directly makes a call (through JNI perhaps) to the underlying OS to delete the file. This doesn't work either.
I am at a loss as to why sometimes some files delete, and other times they don't. In my processing code, I always close the input stream and set its variable to null. So I am not sure how it is possible a reference could still be held to the object representing the file on disk.and then, in the other class

File.delete() not working properly
Hi Forum!!
I am trying with the below code :
File file = new file("path");
try{
if(file.exists())
System.+gc+();
file.delete();
System.+out+.println("Control in delete trx file after deletion"+ file.exists());
}catch(SecurityException se){
String msg= "Delete trx file if 3gttz file created : IO Problems";
Log.+error+(msg, se);
}file.exists() returns false But I when I check file, it still exhists with content 0 bytes .
Is there a way to remove the entire file from the directory rather than deleting only the
contents ? Need not to tell I did my initial search to solve the problem.
Thanks

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.
It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.
