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?

When I download long mp3 talk shows and place them on my Ipod touch I change their media kind to podcast to take advantage of the 2x speed and 30sec jump back. I have a smart playlist on my Ipod that shows all podcasts on the Ipod. Once I have listened to them I would normally attach my Ipod and highlight the file in the podcast smart playlist and then shift+del and the file is deleted from my Ipod.
Since the 11.4 update of Itunes there has been some alteration of this function. I can no longer shift+del the files from my Ipod. The ONLY way I can delete them is to change their 'media kind' back to mp3 and then shift+del them. This is a massive pain. Why must Itunes be messed up by every update.
A previous update rendered these mp3 media kind changed to podcast unplayable on your Ipod if you have 'skip when shuffling' checked...

TS1286 Hi; I am using windows 7, and have an ipod touch 4g. Itunes has stopped seeing it.
when I go to restore the ipod, it gives me an error 1604. I have restarted my computer, switched usb ports, verified usb 2.0, updated itunes, and switched cables, but still get the error. Now the ipod will only power up to the 'connect to itunes' screen unless I put it in the mode it needs to be in to be restored. What next?
If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store

Connect the iOS device to your computer restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I plugged up my iPod touch to my iTunes library and it said that it couldnt recognize the iPod and the message told me to restore my iPod? Why would it prompt me to restore the factory settings? Also if I restore the iPod will it erase all of my music even though my music is in my library?
Some of my apps stopped working would this be the reason I need to restore my iPod? I am scared to restore the settings and lose all of my music.
I also put all of my apps in the utility folders, would this have anything to do with my iPod needing to be restored?Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there. At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes. -

I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up. Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in. And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone. Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much. After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone.
I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music. Now all of the album artwork is correct again. I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me. -
