Podcast makes my iPod crash!

Most of the podcasts I download are just fine, but one, Pottercast, always makes my iPod crash. It'll go to the start screen, but it won't move and then the iPod just shuts off completely. Is it them or is it me with the problem?

Most of my songs are purchased from iTunes and all my songs are in AAC 180 kbps. and only 24 songs in Apple Lossless..

  • Iquiz makes my ipod crash!

    Hey I just purchased a Silver 80gb Classic. First of all let me say this is my first ipod and its awesome. Thank you Mr. Jobbs for this invention, I hope my 300$ goes to get you into a bigger mansion in Cali. !! lol
    Ok well I uploaded a whole bunch of songs yesterday to it and when I tried to use the iquiz music quiz2 it crashes. All of the other quizes work and I have done the firmware upgrade. I feel it just the random names on some of my mp3s that are making it crash.

  • Basic mode makes my ipod crash

    I just bought my Nike+, and every time I try to start it in Basic mode, my ipod has to restart.
    Some people have mentioned it might be a problem with ipod software version 1.1.13 (I think), but I haven't been able to find any good information on how to downgrade (or even if this is a good option...).
    I like the concept a lot, but if I can't get it to work, it will have to go back.
    Can anyone help?

    Have you done any of the basic troubleshooting steps? My Nano3G was crashing on a regular basis until I started using some of the troubleshooting steps that Apple gave me. They do this thing called the 5Rs. By the time you get to the 5th R, you'll know whether or not the problem is the software or the hardware on your iPod.

  • My iPod crashes when I try to play a podcast

    For the last few weeks, whenever I go to play a podcast I have downloaded it gets a minute in and then my iPod crashes and resets itself to the menu page. Everything else - songs, videos etc all work properly, it's just the podcast. Can anyone help me stop it doing this? It's really annoying.

    I'll bet it's annoying! Does it do it with EVERY podcast you download, or just one? Is it sound only or a video podcast?

  • ITunes 10.5, Creating iPod version of podcast makes iTunes not responsive

    MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core Duo with 4 GB RAM) running 10.6.8.  iTunes version 10.5.  After downloading a 71MB .mp4 podcast through subscription, when I attempt to make an iPod version of the podcast (Advanced > Create iPod or iPhone Version)  iTunes consistently hangs with the spinning beachball.  Activity Monitor shows that iTunes has become not responsive, and force quitting is the only solution.  In the /Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts folder is a zero KB .m4v file.  Curiously, everything works properly on a 10 year old iMac running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1.

    I have a similar setup and after some initial problems, I can tell you that syncing now works for me.
    1st-gen iPod touch iOS 3.1.3
    iTunes 10.5
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    When I first upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and connected my iPod, iTunes didn't even recognize it in the sidebar and it didn't show that I had any backups for any devices. The iPod was recognized by iPhoto, so I knew it wasn't a problem with the cable or something like that.
    So I took the advice in the other thread and downloaded the full iTunes installer. I deleted four com.apple.iTunes[xxx].plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/, ran the installer, repaired permissions, and rebooted. To my amazement, when I launched iTunes and plugged in my iPod, it and its previous backups were recognized, and a fresh backup and sync ran without any problems.

  • How can I change the order of my podcasts on my iPod?

    I am adding a lot of new podcasts to my iPod.  However they are being organized by most recent first and oldest last.  I want to hear them in release order without having to go backwards.  I can change the order in iTunes, but I can't seem to get my iPod to change the order.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Make a playlist with the order you want. The iPod Classic doesn't have options for reversing the order in the Podcasts display..

  • How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

    I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
    Select your shuffle in iTunes.  There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary). 
    Click on Music there.  This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle.  Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing.  Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres.  For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
    Click on the Podcasts tab next.  This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle.  Sync Podcasts is checkmarked.  Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
    When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle.  Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
    When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list.  To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
    This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4322
    You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist.  If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists.  You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu.  To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position.  The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

  • ITunes no longer syncs partially listened-to podcasts with my iPod

    Hey, everyone. Since I downloaded the new iTunes 11, I've run into a problem with the podcasts I listen to. I subscribe to a bunch of podcasts, many of which are quite lengthy. For that reason, I often can't listen to the whole podcast in a single day. However, with the new iTunes, if I sync up my iPod while partway through a podcast, the iPod loses the partially listen-to podcast. It's as if the software assumes that since I've listened to part of it, I don't want it to sync anymore.
    This is, of course, not the case. Is there a setting somewhere that I can toggle to make iTunes give me ALL my podcasts, regardless of whether I've listened to part of them (or even all all of them)? In short, I want my podcasts folder in iTunes to match what's on my iPod, not have iTunes make guesses about what I'll want.
    Thanks for any help!

    OK, figured this out and wanted to post the solution in case anyone else experiences this.
    When you plug in your iPod, iTunes should start up automatically and sync. A button, "iPod," should appear at the top of the iTunes player, just below the search window. Click it (but not the eject symbol on it).
    This brings up the iPod control settings. Along the top menu, there will be several submenu options: "Summary," "Music," "Movies," "TV Shows," "Podcasts," etc. Clock "Podcasts."
    Here there will be a radio button next to "Sync Podcasts." Make sure that is checked. There is also a radio button next to "Automatically include..." Click that to on as well. Then, if you want iTunes to STOP deleting partially listened-to podcasts, make sure the options in the two drop-down menus say "all" and "all podcasts." Thus, you'll end up with: "Automatically include all episodes of all podcasts."
    Hope this helps. The new iTunes is far from user-friendly.

  • How do I put a podcast on a iPod mini?

    OK, back in the old days (this morning) I had an iPod shuffle. Worked great except that about every third time I turned it on I had to hit various volume-up, pause, play, forward, back, off, on, off, on, volume up four times, etc. to get it to start playing. But the one thing I could do with it was to plug it into my computer, open up iTunes, find the podcast I wanted and drag it over to the iPod. It would sync, I could listen, life was good.
    Now I'm the owner of a beautiful iPod mini. I plugged it in and it immediately tried to load everything from my computer onto it's 4G hard drive. I poked at the screen and finally got it to stop and now I'm trying to figure out how to get one podcast on it. I drag the podcast, but it won't let me drop. How do I get my podcast onto my iPod mini?

    You could change the setting to manually manage songs and then make sure you have enough space for the podcast.

  • Order of Podcast updates in iPod sync

    I'm not sure if this really belongs here or over in the iPod side, but it's podcast related. It's also a bug I can recreate easily, but I no longer know how to submit bug reports
    I have my iTunes update only unplayed Podcasts to my iPod. And I thought for a long time this was working; I'd play podcast "foo", I'd update, and "foo" was gone from the Podcasts list on the iPod. But the other day, I noticed I had stale Podcasts listed in my Music->Genre->Podcast list on the iPod. So I poked at it again...and if I do a second sync immediately afterwards, it cleans those up. Which makes me think that the order is:
    1) Update all tracks on iPod (probably also downloads played information and playcounts)
    2) Update the podcast listing in iTunes with what has been played
    3) Send list of Podcasts to iPod
    Since the playcount is still 0 (or the played flag is off) in step 1, the podcasts are left there. Then since it's correct in #3, it doesn't list them. It seems like the correct order should be:
    1) Download playcounts/played flags and update library
    2) Update podcast listing in iTunes
    3) Generate list of updated files to send to iPod; updated DB of playcounts, etc.
    4) Update iPod tracks with results of #3
    5) Update iPod Podcast listing.
    Now, for me this is more odd than annoying (I have a 60G and am nowhere near filling it). But for someone with a 20G who syncs podcasts and then as much as possible from a playlist (I think you can do that), the extra stale podcasts mean less music. Any way to send this bug report in to Apple and hope for a fix for it in 6.0.3? I guess a valid workaround is to connect the iPod, let it update, then select file->update iPod and let it update again (I haven't tried that, but it should work).

    This question is probably not going to get a lot of answers in the Printing Forum. Maybe the "Using Mac OS X Leopard" forum will offer some help.

  • How do you make an iPod remember your AUDIO BOOK position?

    With podcasts or audio books from Audible.com, my iPod remembers the position in the audio file, so that if you listen to some music and then go back to the podcast or audio book, it resumes where you left off.
    I can't figure out for the life of me, how to make audio books that I load from my own CDs do the same. I've been transferring my books-on-CD onto my iPod, but its useless if I can't figure out how to make the iPod remember my position in the book. I'm not going to carry a note pad and pencil around with me
    Am I missing an obvious check-box somewhere, or is this just an impossible task due to the horrible design of iTunes?

    Rohan: You must use iTunes 5 and the 2005-06-26 firmware (or the 2005-09-?? for the Nano).
    Get Info on an individual MP3 you want to make bookmarkable. Select the Options tab and check the box for Remember Last Played Position. I'd recommend also checking the box for Skip when Shuffling so the book won't be played when using the Shuffle Songs menu from the main menu.
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this with multiple files at once, yet.
    Like previously mentioned, they will not be set as Audiobooks but normal Mp3s.

  • Podcast on my iPod Touch 4 That iTunes Doesn't See!

    I'll try to make this short:
    I "create" a lot of my own "podcasts" - basically stuff I don't want mixed in with my music.
    I edit the properties in Windows by right clicking on "Properties" and changing everything there.
    Paragraph 3:
    When I am ready to put the "podcast" on my iPod, I open iTunes, and copy the file into the Music folder of the iTunes Library.  Next, I right click on the newly added file, click the Info item, which opens up a dialog box where I can change the title, artist name, track #, just about anything.  I can also make it part of a compliation and a podcast under the Options tab.
    At that point, the file disappears from music and reappears in the Podcast folder of the iTunes library.  From there I am able to copy the "podcast" directly to the Podcasts folder of my Touch 4.
    However, with this particular file, when it was still in the Music folder of iTunes I was not able to make any changs after going into Info.  All options were, as they say, grayed out.  I did discover that I could copy the file directly to the Podcast folder of the iPod itself, visible via iTunes.  Success!  But wait - there's more!
    I later made some edits to the original file on my PC, and wanted to put it in iTunes and on my touch.  This time I was able to complete the procedure in Paragraph 3, and copy it to my Touch's Podcasts folder.  Alas, I now have that podcast on my Touch twice, even tough iTunes sees it only ONCE. 
    So my question is: Is there any way to delete the instance of the podcast that I do NOT want on the touch, while leaving the corrected version on there?

    Did yo do this?
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Did it start after updating iTunes on the computer?

  • Deleted podcasts reappearing on ipod

    I manage the content of my ipod manually. After I upload a podcast to the ipod, I delete it from iTunes. Then, after I have listened to the podcast on the ipod, I delete it with the Delete button on the ipod. This was working for me perfectly.
    Now, since around the time I upgraded ipod firmware to 3.0 (and 3.1 later), it stopped working: the podcasts I deleted from the ipod are reappearing in the podcast list next time after I upload content to the ipod. The files are not there physically (when I click on them, they don't play), they just show as unplayed podcasts in the list. The only way to stop them from reappearing is to delete them from the ipod through iTunes, but that defeats the purpose of having the Delete button on the ipod.
    I've looked through the forums and I've seen a few posts with similar problems, but the suggestions were to check smart lists for podcasts. I checked all my smart lists, and all of them have the "podcast=false" condition.
    Does anybody know why this is happening, or how to fix it?
    I have another question that might or might not be relevant here. When I drag and drop content onto ipod, in iTunes I see a message saying "updating" and then "Synching ipod." Is iTunes supposed to be synching with ipod if I manage my content manually?
    Thanks for your help.

    hmm. i know that for a while podcasts deleted on the ipod sometimes returned in this 'ghost' fashion when the ipod was powered off (rather than just put to sleep), but as far as i can tell this was fixed a few updates ago.
    your form of the problem seems to be a new one however. are they removed when you sync?
    manual management still involves syncing, that is how it makes the changes.
