Podcast list order in iTunes on Mac

What is the default Podcast list order in iTunes on Mac? It is not alphabetical, chronologivcal, played/unplayed?
I simply want an alphabetical list of my Podcasts so I can locate quickly.
It wasn't like this before was it?
iTunes needs working on Mr. Ive.
Oh yes .. question .. how do I put my Podcasts into an alphabetical list in iTunes on my Mac?
Thank you.
Michael

Found the answer just after my post.......

Podcast list view in iTunes 11

Not sure if I am missing something here, but I regularly search for podcasts on specific subjects. More likely than not it's individual episodes I want, rather than a podcast series. However, in iTunes 11, when you click on an individual episode after searching it takes you to the whole series. You then have to look through that whole series to find the episode that showed up in your search.
This is really really annoying. In iTunes 10, you could look at all the episodes in a list, and click the ones you wanted to download. Now you have to hop in and out of whole podcast series, find the specific episode you want, then back out and onto the next one. When you're downloading 20 or 30 at a time it's a real pain.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to get the old convenient list view back?

I'd like to have this list view back as well.
It was usefull for choosing a podcast based on date and/or length.
I will submit feedback on this and suggest all others who want it back do the same.

Album list order in iTunes

Awhile ago (circa 2007) there was an upgrade to iTunes that reordered the "Album" list from numeric/alpha listing to a alpha/numeric list. For examples, albums used to be listed starting with those titles with numbers - "1", "5150", "90125", etc. - and now those albums appear at the end of the list. What is the reason why Apple changed this file order in the listing?

Who knows. I guess someone, JOBS perhaps, liked his listings a different way and so they changed it.

Podcasting and Radio in iTunes for Mac

Since I have installed the firmware Update 1.3 all the my Podcasts have disappeared from my iTunes library. Can I get them back without downloading them all again? Music was unaffected.

There are programs, that can capture audio of specific applications as long as you wish (or run out of HD-space)
Try Audio Hijack (Pro) or Wiretap Pro
Hope this helps.

Podcasts Sort Order

I don't know where else to suggest this to the Apple Podcasts people, but one of the biggest annoyances with this app for me is that the sort order for each Podcast and the Unplayed Podcasts lists is newest to oldest, this is exactly opposite of what I'd want. I've been listening to Podcasts with iTunes and my iPhone since the beginning. I have always had 2 smart playlists with my unplayed podcasts in them, one sorted by shortest to longest and the other sorted by release date oldest to newest. I've had to live with every other iTunes version breaking the syncing of the Podcast Smart Playlist order and was ecstatic when the Podcasts app came out, thinking I might not have to deal with this anymore, but no.....and I've checked every release and still no better. I end up going back to my (broken again since last iTunes update) sync'd Smart Playlists in Music. *sigh* It's almost enough to drive me to one of the 3rd party apps, but I like to be able to walk in from listening to Podcasts, sync my phone and continue listening to the podcasts on my Mac, none of the 3rd parties give me a way to do that, and that's even broke when you uses the Podcasts app. So again, back to the Music app.

I can't agree more.
I remember many moons ago when someone changed the podcast sorting order in iTunes and caused this exact same problem—all of your podcasts were in the reverse order that you'd want to listen to them. Fortunately someone was listening (no pun intended) and it was fixed again in the next relase.
What's shocking to me is that this is the third (THIRD!) update to the Podcast app and this problem is still with us. Worse, Apple has eliminated the podcasts from the iTunes and Video apps, where you could play them in the correct order.
This is a podcast app. A PODCAST APP! It's only job is to play podcasts. Who plays podcasts backwards? You'd think this would be bug #1.
Sorry for the rant, but I've almost had to stop listenting to podcasts on my iPhone becuse this app is so broken and there are no alternatives. Normally I listent to podcasts at the gym or while driving, but now you have to do so much fiddling with the app (quick! stop the next one playing, go back to the menu, try to find where you are in the list, start the real next one) that I've just put my iPhone away.

Revised Podcast Browse Categories at iTunes

Just got an email from Apple, thought I would share for anyone who hasn't heard the news:
Greetings from the iTunes Podcasting Team:
Today we launched a revised set of categories for podcasts listed in the iTunes Music Store. We're sending you this email to let you know how to change your podcast feed to accommodate these changes. The revised categories and subcategories are listed at the bottom of this message. Please take the time to change your podcast feed as soon as possible. Please note that we will support the use of the old category names for the next few months, so there is no immediate deadline for making these changes. We will send another message before discontinuing support for the old category names.
When we read your RSS feed, we capture and store up to 3 category+subcategory pairs, and we use all of them to populate the browse lists that you see when you click the "Browse" link in the Music Store. However, the first category+subcategory pair listed in your feed is the most important, since it is the one listed as the Category field on your podcast page, and it is the only one used to map your podcast into the category feature pages.
Most of the old categories and subcategories are now automatically mapped to corresponding ones within the new system. For example, if your podcast was listed under "Arts & Entertainment > Photography", it will now appear under "Arts > Visual Arts." However, 3 categories have been removed and do not have a similar replacement: "International", "Talk Radio", and "Public Radio". Those categories overlapped with others in the old system, making some podcasts difficult to find. If one of these categories is listed as the first subject in your podcast feed, that category information will be ignored and the second category will be used to determine eligibility and placement in that feature page.
Changes to your categories may take 1-2 weeks from the time you edit your feed, so please review and add new category data as soon as possible to ensure your podcast is listed appropriately. New categories and subcategories that did not exist in the old browse structure will appear as podcasts are mapped to them.
For specific instructions on adding categories to your page, refer to the iTunes:category section of the technical spec. Note that the spec will be updated soon with new category data, but the format is the same:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html#_Toc526931682
The new categories and subcategories are listed below. Note that some of the new categories may not yet appear in the Music Store because they are not yet populated by podcasts.
Best Regards--
The iTunes Podcasting Team

Looks like they're finally expanding the categories out into more relevant areas for existing podcasts as well as future genres that will surely see growth over the next couple years.

I'm having the same issues, I am recording the podcast in GarageBand and sending it to iWeb.

HT1399 As I have added pocast shows to my itunes podcast list it is in a random order. How do I alphabetize my list of podcasts. Can I manually arrange them in an order of my choosing. Thanks

As I have added podcast subscriptions to my itunes podcast list on the far left menu window the list is in a random order. How do I aphabetize the podcast list ? Can I arrange them manually ?

I have about 500 bookmarks .. and they are arranged within 60 folders. I would like to see them in chronological order as before, because now to find a bookmark is a hard task.
thanks for your suggestion, anyway.

IPod Podcast List in iTunes Doesn't Show all Podcasts

iTunes 11.1.1
4th gen iPod Shuffle
I just refreshed all podcasts in iTunes.
Hooked up Shuffle to sync, went to Podcast tab & many podcasts that show up via iTunes Podcast section are not there...
I've never noticed this happen before.
HELP!!
Thanks

I don't know the cause of the problem you describe. You may want to report it as a "bug" to Apple using the Feedback web page for iTunes
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Also, since this is a problem related to iTunes (the app), and not directly related to using a shuffle, you may get additional replies by posting the question here (in the iTunes for Mac forum category)
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_mac
I can offer a possible "work-around." On the shuffle's Podcasts "tab" in iTunes, at the bottom of the screen, there is a list called Include Episodes from Playlists. On this list, you can select playlists in your iTunes library that have podcast episodes.
In your iTunes library, create a new playlist. You can call it something line "iPod Podcasts," or whatever you want. Add podcast episodes you want on the shuffle to this playlist.
NOTE: Click the plus sign at the bottom of the sidebar to create a new playlist. If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
On this playlist, you can add a mix of episodes from multiple podcasts, and put the episodes in any desired playlist order (by dragging them around on the list or sorting by a column heading).
Back on the shuffle's Podcasts tab, select (checkmark) this playlist under Include Episodes from Playlists. Click Apply to sync the selection, as well as the playlist itself, to the shuffle.
On the shuffle, you should be able to play the episodes from the separate podcast playlists (using VoiceOver to switch), or from the "iPod Podcasts" playlist. To play podcasts from a (regular) playlist on a shuffle, you must set the shuffle's power switch to the play-in-order (middle) position. The episodes play in playlist order.
If that works, I can provide additional info on using Smart Playlists to "automate" the process. It may actually be more convenient than using the iPod's Podcasts tab to manage podcasts on the shuffle.

Why does iTunes 11.1 have to break Podcast List view?

iTunes 11.1 has ruined podcast List view on my Mac. It was the only view that made efficient use of screen space. Now that is gone, with a clutter of lists of old episodes that I have listened to and deleted, often years ago. I want the ability to NOT SHOW OLD EPISODES. The settings and default options do not work to delete old episodes, which hover in 'the cloud' in my lists.
So instead of a few unheard episodes, I have sometimes hundreds of old episodes for the program. Simply reordering the list so that recent programs appear at the top for each program is not good enough. I don't need to see program titles I have already heard and discarded ('deleted' prior to 11.1).
This is not a cloud, it is FOG!!
I can't believe this stuff.

Any suggestions? Anyone?

IPad Air doesn't recognize podcasts I have already downloaded. When connected to my Mac, Podcast list is empty. I have tried transferring all my purchases to my Mac, but only apps

I have been transferring purchases, and recently, I decided to check if all of my purchases were really transferred. Unfortunately, some of my podcasts were skipped. The podcasts remain undetected when I click on the Podcast list under my iPad's name on iTunes. I have tried to make a new user account on my Mac then transferred the purchases. All my apps, books and songs were transferred, but those podcasts still did not transfer. I would like to know a way to reset my Podcasts app so that it would transfer those remaining podcasts. Some of my podcasts are no longer available on iTunes, and so it's impossible to download them again. Thanks in advance.

I have already solved the problem by using Macroplant's iExplorer. Thanks, Macroplant!

Podcasts list view ruined in iTunes 11.1?

Just upgraded and I don't seem to be able to remove podcasts I've already listend to from my list view. I use the list view as I like to manually manage what I download and when. I download stuff to sync with my iPhone. To make matters worse, even though only a few old unwanted podcasts were showing in a few feeds, I clicked the refresh catalog button and now I have pages and pages of defunct rubbish going back at least 5 years that I am no longer able to delete! Even if I re-download an old podcase and delete it, it still stays in the catalog! How could this possibly be what anyone would prefer?
The 'my podcasts' list is no better, as you can't delete old stuff from there either and 'my stations' does not give me the option to download all available episides so I can sync it with my phone,
PLEASE GIVE US BACK manual control of the catalog!
If Im missing something, and I really hope I am, please can someone point me in the right direction (if that direction is a decent, working podcast player that I can sync with my phone, then so be it!)

Good luck on that type of workaround as iTunes is tightly integrated into the operating system... so you would need two backups ahead of time and plenty of time thereafter.

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2

Podcast List view not updated with iTunes 11.3.1.2
Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 / Intel-i7 2.40 GHz / 8GB RAM / 64-bit
iTunes 11.3.1.2
After refreshing my Podcast list, some Podcasts with new episodes do not display the "Unplayed" blue dot.
If the podcast "folder" is expanded by clicking the triangle, the new episodes are shown with a "Unplayed" blue dot.
A new episode is shown in the My Podcast view, with the correct number of new episodes.
The new episodes are displayed in the All Unplayed view.
I've tried deleting all episodes and downloading new episodes from the iTunes Store.
I've tried Unsubscribing and deleting the podcast, then Subscribing again from the iTunes Store.
Neither attempt resolved the issue.
I've seen this issue for a while, and was disappointed to find no change with the iTunes 11.3.1.2 update.

it finally worked; got my Rush 24/7 downloaded, and it finally found my iPhone after switching from the USB 4 port Hub to a dedicated USB 2.0 slot on my laptop.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

Checkmarks in iTunes Podcasts list

In the iTunes Library, the Podcasts list has a checkmark column. What does the checkmark mean? I can't find an explanation anywhere. TIA for the information.

Thanks for the info.
I downloaded a bunch of items in one of my podcasts, and they all showed up without checkmarks. Is there a way to checkmark all at once, or do I have to check each one individually?
TIA again for an answer.
