Podcast files randomly deleted from hard disk but remain on ipod

Hi,
I'm running the latest iTunes with a 5G (brand new) 80Gb Video Ipod.
I have subscribed to several podcasts via http://www.podiobooks.com
iTunes seems to work okay for a while, but then I files go missing on the PC. The file seems to have been deleted from the iTunes folder, but remains on the ipod.
I don't see this effect with music or video, just podcasts.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have stripped and reinstalled everything on my ipod and cleared the itunes library three times now trying to resolve this problem.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Look two lines below the 10.4 version and you will see the version that works for 10.3.9. (Where it says "Download version 1.0.3 for OS X 10.2 - 10.3".)

Use previous "Delete from hard disk" checked state?

Is there any way for the program to use the previous "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk" checked state in the file deletion confirmation dialog? It gets tedious to check it every time I want to delete a file and if I forget to do it I will have an extra file sitting on my hard disk not in my catalog.

A quick shortcut that I use is to hit the spacebar (checks/unchecks the "delete from
hard disk" option), then hit the enter key to complete the process.

Old podcasts were auto deleted from hard drive

I download a handful of podcasts once a week and keep a regular backlog on hand to listen to when traveling. This week, all of my archived podcast files -- looks like anything older than one week -- are gone. They were still listed in iTunes, but the files were deleted from my hard drive. They aren't even in my recycle bin, so I know I didn't delete them.
I assume this happened during my latest iTunes update (yeah, I know, this probably covered in the encyclopedic user agreement), but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. I did spot the Allow/Do Not Auto Delete option, which I'll now use every time.
Thanks.

However I have a couple of grayed out folders with a question mark and "inval..." that are non-functional and nothing happens when I choose "remove".
Try rebooting your computer. In previous instances, that sometimes caused these phantom folders to disappear from Lightroom's folder pane.

Godane's Archlinux boot from hard disk but it can't login in with slim

I download Godane's archiso-live-2009-09-24.iso , i havent cdrom , so i boot it from hard disk .
I extract iso to drive C: (fat32) ,two folder is "boot" "archiso-live"
my menu.lst is :
title Boot archiso-live Desktop
root (hd0,0)
find --set-root /boot/initrd.img
kernel /boot/vmlinuz elevator=deadline ramdisk_size=60% aufs nonfree=no vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img
load=overlay.lzm
The iso can be boot from hd ,but there isnt slim . only is console...
what can i do with this problem??

I think your problem is that load=overlay.lzm is in the wrong place.
Here is what i should look like:
title Boot archiso-live Desktop
root (hd0,0)
kernel /archiso-stable/boot/vmlinuz elevator=deadline lang=en_US keyb=us load=overlay,mesa usbdelay=5 nonfree=no xdisplay=old xdriver=no from=/dev/sda3/archiso-stable changes=/dev/sda3/changes session=xfce cdname=archiso-live
initrd /archiso-stable/boot/initrd.img
I use 'from' boot option so i can boot from my hard drive more easier. The way its booted above is for 2009-12-08 version of my archiso-live. Just thought you should know.
I hope this helps. And sorry for it being so late.

Songs deleted from Library but not deleted from Hard Disk

HELP: I had multiple songs repeated in my Library, deleted the songs and cleaned up the Library data base. Some songs were NOT deleted from the hard drive. Copied all my music to my laptop computer and asked Itunes to rebuild database. There are about 1100 more songs in the new data base than in my home computer. how can i erase all the songs that are on my laptop hard drive that are not in my itunes Library?

You may have to rebuild your iTunes Match library by turning it off on both your computer (iTunes>Store>Turn Off iTunes Match) and you phone (Settings>Music>iTunes Match>Off), then turn it back on on your computer, and when complete, turn it back on on your phone.

Old podcasts not being deleted from hard drive

Can anyone help me with this problem? I currently have the "keep only unplayed podcasts" selected. ITunes synchs great with my Nano. If a podcast is played, it is taken off of the Nano.
The problem is that the podcast is not also deleted from my hard drive. I have to manually delete the file and "move to recycle bin." Does anyone know a way of having ITunes actually delete the file from the hard drive? I don't want to waste so much space.
I am using ITunes 7.

I'm running a managed library.
Let me see if I can understand this. The problem has to do with the place I was looking at. I was looking in the pictures folder in the hard drive. Now, the pictures inside the iPhoto library are the ones that are deleted from the hard drive, and the ones in the Pictures folder are not being touched at all. So I have two separate folders with pictures: the iPhoto library folder and the Pictures folder inside the hard drive.
Since I'm going to be using iPhoto exclusively I might as well delete that other Pictures folder in the hard drive. If I delete the pictures in this folder, would that affect the pictures I have in the iPhoto Library? I'm thinking no since iPhoto has made copies of all those pictures. What do you think?
THanks for the info TD

[solved] Boot installer from hard disk, but install from external DVD.

Hi!
I have an old notebook with broken cd-rom and without support to boot from USB disks (only "USB-FDD"). I want to install on this notebook Arch Linux! I bought an external DVD writer and I would like to only boot Arch linux, but install from external drive. How can I do it?

Yes. My laptop does not support booting from usb-cd and usb-hdd
But I installed Arch by grub4dos to boot from iso, connect external dvd and start installation. System successfully detected the dvd drive so I could install a new system!

Files NOT deleted from hard drive

iTunes will not send files to my recycle bin, only from remove them from my library. I have 2 computers with 7.0.2.16 running. One will ask me if I want to move files to my recycle bin, which it will then do. The other won't ask and won't delete them. I am unable to find any preferences item that would prohibit iTunes from deleting files, so what have I done to stop it and how do I change it?
Thanks in advance for your time.

At some point, I guess you accidentally clicked on the box for "Do not ask me again". At some point I'll figure out how to fix it with a script/program, but until then, the only fix is to close iTunes and then rename or delete your preferences file<pre>C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml</pre>
Unfortunately, you will lose all of the rest of your preferences too

Files not deleting from hard drive when I delete them from i-tunes......hel

I just upgraded to Vista and I reloaded my songs to i-tunes. I have many duplicates that I want to get rid of. I deleted and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.

iTunes will only remove (or ask) to remove) if the items are located in the iTunes music folder shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
If the items are in that location and it is not asking, then click on *Reset all dialog warnings:* in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
and selected move to recycle bin but they are not being removed from my hard drive. Please can somebody let me know why.
Likely it is a permissions issue with the iTunes folder. Mkae sure you have full Read/Write permissions to the iTunes folder and all contents.

Song deleted from hard drive but still on itunes?

I recently deleted a folder full of duplicate songs that were intended to be backups so I could save space. Now, itunes still lists those files but it puts little exclamation points next to the song to tell me the original file can't be found.
Here is the exact message:
"The song 'x' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
No! I don't want it found! But how do I remove the ghost file from itunes so I don't have all those duplicates??

If you want to get rid of tracks with exclamation marks, you can do it by a crafty use of playlists:
Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
This playlist should contain all the dead tracks

Or Robert Jacobson has a script to do it:

Photos won't delete from hard disk

I try to delete photos from within lightroom and i get the message "the photo could not be moved to the trash."
Any thoughts?

That recently happened to me and it was because I had inadvertently left the image open in CS3. Do you have any other application running that might have a lock on these images? Or, do you have the images tagged as "read only"?

Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!

all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
TIA!

Hi Chris:
2 part response:
I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move.

I have limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk

I have a limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk and just leave it on my 60Gb ipod, BUT I dont want to have to log in as a guest every time.
Any suggestions

Follow the instructions in this article and then delete the songs from your computer; they will not be deleted from the iPod automatically. You should have or make another copy of the songs before deleting them from the computer, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...

The other -36 is a Windows/SMB issue.
