Podcast Menu on 3G iPod?

Hey Guys.
I recently bought an old 3G iPod (for the nostalgia) and it arrived this morning. I installed the latest iPod Firmware for the iPod, but for some reason, there is no Podcast menu on the iPod like there is on my 5G and nano.
Is there any way to get a Podcast menu on there? The only way i can access them now is either through artists or in the Podcast playlist.
Thanks,

Happy Birthday indeed to version 2.3
Considering it's been this long since the last 3G firmware upgrade, im thinking more and more that Apple have stopped supporting this model. To quote another post I read on another site, I dont expect Apple to upgrade the firmware so i get a color screen and video playback.
I mean, even if the 3G firmware would just allow the iPod to bookmark when playing podcasts would be a big help. Combined with a lack of show notes (due to a lack of this feature), its almost impossible to find where you left off when listening to a long show like KFI Tech Guy.

  • Can't Play Podcasts - unable to enter the podcast menu

    When I try to enter the Podcasts menu from the iPod main menu by clicking the center button nothing happens. To the right it shows that there are 27 podcasts so I don't know why it doesn't respond. The center button still works in general since I can enter other menu items with it.
    Has anyone had this problem? How can I fix this?

    Thanks!!!  I actually used the "reset network settings" process but my guess is that I will now have to re-enter passwords for the networks I use...seems they should have made an easy way to simply change a password for a specific network since a lot of folks change them regularly for security reasons....thanks for the responses!!!

  • Ipod Nano lack of Podcast menu

    My iPod nano has no podcast menu. I just got it yesterday and it has them ost recent update but has no podcast menu. I have tried downloading podcasts but they don't appear in any menu. Any solutions?

    1. Have you checked Music>Podcasts? (You may have to scroll down a little to see it).
    2. Are you sure the podcasts are on your iPod? Go to Edit>Preferences>iPod>Podcasts>then make sure the appropriate settings are enabled.
    3. Check for the artists of the podcast in the Artists section of Music. They show up there if they are on the iPod (although personally I don't like that).
    Post back with results and I hope this helps!

  • Need an option to filter video podcasts out in the regular podcasts menu

    The problem is that when you have a lot of podcasts, both video and audio, it is easy to focus in on only the video podcasts but when you are viewing the regular podcasts menu it shows both video and audio only podcasts. I find that I am spending a lot of time trying to remember which ones are audio only when scrolling through my list because I don' t want to listen to only the audio of a video podcast and have it marked as listened to already. Some video and audio version have similar names but different content, such as the NYTimes David Pogue tech reviewer has both an audio and a video podcast and they ARE different content. I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wished there was a way to separate the audio only podcasts from the video ones in the podcast menu.
    My proposal...that as many people as possible submit a feature request to Apple to add an option in the iPod settings menu to show only audio podcasts in the podcasts menu. Yes, smart playlists could be set up (and I tried it for a while) but then you loose the blue dot that reminds me of which episode I am on so I wasn't happy with that approach. Here's the link to Apple Feedback:

    Any comments??

    Both CM and P6 needs to be configured using there respective admin utility to interact. Most important part is generation of Encryption key. It should be same for both. Once that is done, restart CM server and P6 server and you should see the link enabled :)

  • Podcasts are not listed in Podcast menu

    I resynched my iPod and all my podcast files are mixed in with the music titles. When I select the podcast menu item, none of the podcasts are displayed. However, when I select Genre on the main menu, then my podcast files can be found within several of the categories listed (e.g. Philosopy, Comedy, History, Science and Medicine). How can I get them all listed under the podcast selection in the main menu?

    Incidentally, I manually manage the files on my ipod and the problem came about when I plugged my ipod into a friend's computer. He had an old version of itunes installed and it appears to have messed up the way the podcasts are labeled so the ipod no longer recognizes them as podcasts.
    Can anyone help?

  • I deleted the podcast folder from my ipod. How do I get it back?

    How do I recreate the podcast folder on my ipod nit in itunes. I stil have the podcast folder in itunes.

    Do you mean you no longer see the option for Podcasts in the menu of the iPod?
    If so, go to Settings > Main Menu, scroll to Podcasts and press the center button to turn it back on.

  • Video podcasts not showing in podcast menu

    my video podcasts are not showing up on ipod touch when I sync. They are on the ipod, cause when I search, they show up under podcast header (so they are not mis-labelled as music or anything), but they do not show up in the podcast menu. This applies to all my video podcasts. I think its a bug.

    Wow, that does work. There they all are but I think this is annoying, that I have to go to a seperate app to see my video podcasts, as apposed to aduio podcasts, in the podcast menu, but at least I can see them. Thanks!

  • Why won't podcasts sync to my iPod classic from my new MacBook?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro after my old PowerBook died. I was able to restore my music to the new Mac.  However, even though I've checked the appropiate selection to sync my podcasts, it doesn't work.  The old podcasts that were on the iPod are still there, but nothing is deleted or added based on my iTunes.

    Make sure you have Sync Podcasts selected under the Podcasts menu then click the Sync button bottom right side of the window.
    Where it says: Automatically include:   all unplayed / all new / all recent and to the right select all podcasts or selected.
    Then tap iPod in the Dock > More > Podcasts

  • Getting podcasts to show up under the podcast menu

    Hello!
    I've just discovered podcasts--yay! I have a 30 GB iPod video, if this helps. Also, sorry if this is something that's been asked many times before but I went a few pages back and didn't find anything similar.
    Anyway... I've subscribed to a few podcasts and I'm wondering if there's a way to put them under the podcast menu like it shows up in the tutorials. I know that they've transferred to the iPod because I can bring up the podcasts and listen to them using the search but the podcast menu remains blank. Ideas?
    Thanks,
    Leigh-Anne

    FOr me this problem only happens when I directly download podcast episodes instead of using iTunes to download. Somehow when downloading with iTunes the files are "marked" differently to allow them to go to podcast menu.

  • Podcast menu (lack of) problem

    Last night I updated my Podcasts, I had a Podcast menu on my black 4 gig nano before this. I first noticed I had a problem when i re-connected to itunes later in the evening to see that there was no Podcast icon above my playlists under my ipod's name, which has never happened before, I only had a podcasts playlist, but no podcast menu and icon at the top of them.
    When I checked my nano I no longer had a podcast menu on there either, so the only way I can now view or listen to my podcasts is to go to playlists and use the podcast playlist.
    I have checked with my ipod updater and it says my nano firware is correct at 1.0. So all I can do in the updater is reset my nano to factory state, I would rather not have to go through that. I just want my podcast menu back on my ipod and in itunes above my playlists on my ipod.
    can anyone help me out with this? :/

    It will completely erase your Ipod but restoring you Ipod with the Ipod updater is always a good first step. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

  • Podcast menu

    Hi all,
    I have download podcast video of CNN news and they appear in the podcast menu of itunes. But when I look into my Ipod (30Go), in the video section and podcast video section, nothing! i have to look at the last downloaded to find the file.
    How can I get my podcast videos to be in the podcast videos menu of my Ipod??
    Thanks for help

    Hi Zevo,
    You can't change the menu structure on the iPod - it's part of the operating system.
    Regards,
    Colin R.
    ps Except that in the Settings menu>Main Menu>you can add more things to display on the Main Menu

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.

  • My itunes library has everything by artist name, yet when i sync my ipod to it, some songs are only visible in the song menu but not the artist menu, how do i fix this problem so that evry song is visible under the artist menu in my ipod

    I bought an ipod classic and got it 2day. I have over 18000 songs on my itunes and all the songs have all the correct info. I tried syncing my ipod today and all of the songs have gone onto my ipod.
    However my problem is that quite a few songs are not in the artist menu and only in the songs menu on the ipod, even though evry bit of information for the song is correct.
    I would like all my songs under the artist menu on my ipod as searching through the song menu is ridiculously time consuming.
    Can anyone fix my problem?

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.
