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

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?

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!!!

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!

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 Item Missing in 3.0

Hi, I just updated my Apple Tv to 3.0 and Synched Podcasts and Itunes U media to it, but there is no podcast menu item on the main menu. I rebooted apple tv, but still no podcast menu item. I use the Custom Sync option. Anyone have any idea how to get podcasts to show up?
Thanks.

Well, I bit the bullet and did a factory reset on the apple tv. Then upgraded to 3.0 again and got the poscast menu item. Ten hours later, after re-synching all my media, I am back in business.

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 stuck at "unwatched" view

I was listening to podcasts on my Apple TV (2nd Gen) streamed from my MacBook. I changed the view once to show only "unwatched" (the top of the podcast menu would show "by date", "by show", or "unwatched".
Now the menu seems stuck at "unwatched" and I can't change the view to one of the other options. I arrow up until the "unwatched" is selected and then try to click the left arrow and it makes the popping/click sound, but doesn't move.
This view also doesn't give me access to my podcast playlists, like the view before did.
I tried backing up to the main menu and going back in, but it didn't work. Tried putting the the ATV to sleep and then waking it back up--same problem. All other menus (Movies, TV shows) are working fine in the "by date" and "by show/movie" section.
The same thing happens when I go to the Podcasts section streaming from my Mac Mini. It's as if ALL Podcasts from all sources are stuck on the unwatched view only and will not let me view playlists or "by date" or "by show".
Any ideas?

By the way, "Show Playlists" IS selected to show all in the Audio & Video preference settings.
Now, that I've gone into the settings section, my remote won't let me get out. I can move up and down in the settings menu, but can't move out and left to "computers", "internet", "tv shows", "movies", etc.
What in the world would be causing this?

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,
*nathan

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.

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!

What's wrong with the podcast menu?

In the music app I tap 'more' and then 'podcast'. It opens to a menu with icons that resemble album covers. I select the only one I've downloaded and it brings up a list of about 30 podcasts, but only about a fifth of each title is visible ie "Constitutional Law: The Dormant Com....." and then it just trails off. When I rotate my iPad the display box doesn't enlarge, yet whether I'm in portrait or landscape the display box with the list of titles is small, there's plenty of room to expand vertically and horizontally, how do I use this space to expand the display box so I can read the titles? Surely I'm not expected to select and begin playing each one just so I can see the entire title scroll.....thanks for any help.

looks like it was just updated, try and update the app and try again?

Podcasts menu not showing up in Devices

When I connect my iTouch (2nd gen) to itunes 11, the dropdown menu does not include the Podcasts option. How can I view this menu item so that I can manage (delete) the podcasts on my ipod? They won't show up anywhere else.

I started having the same problem recently and tried everything you tried to no avail. I'm wondering if the recent ATV update caused the issue???

Why is the podcast menu missing!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have an ipod second generation and the menu for podcasts is completely missing from the ipod itself. My software version is 1.1.1. What is wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!?

How about settings/main menu/podcasts/on.
Does that help?

Podcasts not showing under Podcast menu, but under Podcast Genre

I am subscribed to several podcasts through iTunes. On my 40GB 4G, all the podcasts show up under the main menu option "Podcasts". But on my Nano, only one of the 9 podcasts I subscribe to shows up there, I have to go into Music -> Genres -> Podcasts to get to the rest.
Any ideas?

Connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Click the podcasts tab under that. Make sure it is set to automatically update all podcasts (onto the iPod). Click OK.
