Podcast problem #61

seems all my podcast that I download end up in my iTunes Library. How do I stop my Mac from putting them in the library? Currently, I drag & drop each one individually in the trash!
Help please!!!!
mahalo,
Roger

Howzit Colin,
Actually I was hoping that they didn't end up in my iTunes Library! Why? Because when it's time to use your library to shuffle some music for your party that you're throwing. The last thing you need is an old Amy Goodman's podcast of "Demoracy Now", coming on after you just listened to U2!!! Or if I was still single I could see how that could really be a problem. Imagine Colin, you been working on this one chick for weeks, you have her over to your place. You want to set the mood for the evening so you put on iTunes, a couple of great songs come on to get the evening rolling. Then, just when you get to make your move. All of the sudden you hear ," This is TWIT, 'this week in tech episode 24 Sept 21 2005, and I'm Leo Laporte". Great podcast, and I love Leo Laporte, and what they are doing there. But there is a time and a place for everything, and when you're getting ready to walk off into the sunset with Buxom betty. That is not the time for 'twit', if you know what I mean? That's basically why I don't need them in my library.
But are you saying, if the blue dot isn't next to podcast, then it has been deleted from the library?
There must be an easier way than deleting them one by one?

  • Podcast Problem 4G Ipod (Desperate)

    I know the Ricky Gervais podcast problem has been raised and that updating my firmware may help.
    But how do you update when your ipod is in a coma?
    Mine does not show in itunes, does not show charging when the charger is plugged in and doesn't respond to reset.
    Anybody have any solutions?

    Managed to start it eventually after an hour on mains charge (no battery icon showing) with a "menu and select" reset.

  • When listening to podcasts problems

    When listening to podcasts problems. After pausing playback starts listening back 5 - 20 min.

    As I mentioned this is a user forum. We are all volunteers. Apple does not read individual submissions unless a ToU violation is reported. If you want help specifically from Apple you need to contact them through Apple Support. When asking for help on these forums its best not to add to an unanswered post with a 'me too' comment but rather with your own post with details of your problem and ask specific questions.
    So what have you done to try and troubleshoot the problem yourself? The lack of response suggests to me the problem is rather isolated, a glitch perhaps, to individual devices and not a wide spread bug in the OS. These glitches often occur from a bad install or corrupt data. As such for end users there are a few things you can do to try and resolve software issues and are informally known as the 4R's; Restart, Reset, Restore with back up, and Restore as new. Generally performed in that order. Test your device before going on to the next. Apple has provided the following support articles to help you do those:

  • Podcast Problems [Zen Tou

    A few weeks ago I discovered the CBC Radio 3 podcast (http://www.cbcradio3.com/podcast/about.html). The first few downloads have been going well, but now when I try to transfer the files, Media Source says "Error: Unable to download file. The file format is invalid." I don't see how it's invalid since I can play it in any other MP3 player. When I try to convert the file format in the Audio Converter I get the message "Faild. Source file cannot be accessed."
    So far I've been using the iPodder podcast client.
    Any solutions?

    Has anyone figured out what the problem with this is? I get the same thing.
    I have used iPodder and Doppler as aggregators, and I run into the same problem with certain podcasts. It always happens with Coverville, and sometimes with This Week In Tech, and a few others. Not only won't the file transfer to the player, it won't even play in the Creative Media Center software. It's annoying! The files play in Windows Media Player just fine, and iPod users don't complain about some files not working. There is something in the encoding of certain mp3s that Creative doesn't seem to handle correctly.

  • Podcast Problem - how can i add artwork to apple blog rss link

    hi,
    i create a wiki blog page on our mac server, on the blog page i add video for podcasting and i enable podcast service on wiki settings. Then i take rss link from safari and i subscribe to itunes but when itunes check my link, there isnt artwork and i cant change the rss link code cause of the link generated automaticly from java. What can i do for this problem or how can i add artwork to apple blog servers rss link ?
    Thank you

    Bonjour,
    The rules are simple: one entry = one page
    if an article needs several pages, start this article on blog entry then continue with a page made with welcome page template or blank page template.
    you can change the link of the buttons "next" and "previous" to visit the pages you choose.
    (select the link > inspector > Link > hyperlink > check enable as a hyperlink > choose "one of my pages" ).
    Don't include these other pages in navigation menu.
    (inspector > Page > Page > uncheck "include page in navigation menu").

  • Syncing podcasts problems

    I have an iPod Touch 2G but have been having problems syncing my podcasts. The sync process does not seem to recognize when a podcast has been listened to on the iPod and will not mark it as read on the master list in iTunes.
    This morning I again tried to sync my iPod to eliminate all the read/listened to podcasts from the iPod. I was able to add all the new podcast episodes but nothing got removed and nothing got marked in iTunes as having been listened to. In other words the blue dots were correctly identifying used podcasts on the iPod but would not update my list on iTunes. I tried syncing using all, all new and all unplayed with the same results each time.
    When I look at the podcast list on my iPod using it's menu in iTunes everything has blue dots including all my listened to podcasts! Yet, when I check the iPod itself the blue dots correctly identify listened to, partially listened to and not yet listened to status of each podcast.
    What I have to do right now is sync the iPod to get all new material installed and then disconnect the iPod from my computer and manually go through each podcast, visually compare titles of each session, see if it was listened to on the iPod and then delete it from the iTunes list. This seems ridiculous!
    My old iPod mini used to sync without a problem and I could rely upon iTunes to update and maintain my list of podcasts.
    So what setting am I missing to be able to get iTunes to sync and update the status/blue dots on my podcasts?
    Thanks for any help.
    Sue

    I suspect you're not missing any setting.
    I recently noticed that an episode I had listened to fully and did not have the blue button next to it, suddenly got the blue button back again! No - I'm not imagining it, it was the only episode of that particular programme that I had listened to. It probably happened after a Sync.
    There is another slight problem with the Touch though. The Touch has the new feature of a partial blue dot for a part-listened-to episode, which I like very much, but iTunes does not recognise the partial blue dot. When I've checked, iTunes completely removes the blue dot even though the Touch has a partial. Therefore, I keep all episodes on the Touch, to make sure iTunes doesn't think I've finished with it and remove it.

  • ITunes 11.4 podcast problem

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.4 my podcasts are not refreshing. They were all subscribed to prior to the upgrade, but now all show the option "Subscribe" - however, clicking "Subscribe" does nothing. No response at all. Neither does "Refresh Podcast" when I know the podcast has new episodes. It only seems to function correctly when I delete, then re-subscribe to the Podcast via the iTunes store.
    Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in the works? Are there steps I might take to correct this?

    I have no answers for ya, but I do have the same problem, so we are not alone in this.
    My iTunes stopped working after I did a couple of software updates that got my iTunes up to v. 11.4. Since that update, I can't get iTunes to open at all, neither from my dock nor from the Applications menu.
    I'm wondering: Perhaps these latest iTunes updates are simply too advanced for my 10.6.8 operating system? If that's the case, how can I backtrack to an earlier version of iTunes that is compatible with my computer OS?
    Any thoughts?

  • N96 Podcast problems - some podcasts have suddenly...

    I've recently noticed that some podcasts on my 96 have vanished.  Music player cannot see/list them however they are clearly still on the phone as i can see them via file manager. I've refreshed the music library and it seem these podcasts are totally invisible to the music player now.
    Anyone got anything similar or solved it already ??
    Oh yes this was occured around the same time as my v20 firmware update.  Alongside another gallery problem i'm having and posted about i'm begining to wonder if version 20 firmware has got inherent bugs in it and messed up my phone.  Any offers ??

    Is the music player finding any music at all?
    Where are you looking for the podcasts in the Podcast library or as part of the All songs?
    It could be that old podcasts may have lost the "podcast" tag when the firmware was updated. Are new podcasts also not being found?

  • Annoying podcast problem help plz

    hi guys,
    first if this is in the wrong place, i apologise, as you can see a new user.
    anyway, heres my problem,
    i just got hold of an ipod mini, and i use my itunes extensively for podcast listening,and i have a problem regarding when it comes to syncing them with my ipod.
    basically i would like my ipod to put any podcast that is listed as new in itunes on my ipod when i connect it.
    and yes it does that fine.
    but what problem i have is, when i come to syncing again, it will get the new ones ok, but it will remove all the ones previously put on there, and its annoying, as there are some i have not listened to yet.
    is there a setting were i can get my ipod/itunes to put all new podcasts on automatically, but leave them on until i decide to remove them.
    i have tried all the settings in the ipod/podcast settings, but none do that.
    so any help guys appreciated.
    is there a way to get my new podcasts on my ipod, but leave the others on.(and then what would be the easiest way to remove them when i do want them off??)

    You should try to restore the iPhone using iTunes make sure you back up, see if it helps.
    iPhones won't show as removable device if you are referring to be able to copy/transfer files similar to a usb flash drive. It is restricted based on Apple's specification altho it should appear as "Digital Camera Device" having access to your captured photo's or "camera roll" you should unlock your iPhone first before connecting to PC or Mac if you do have a password.
    As of saving issues, try to restore the firmware by itunes or resetting through iPhone settings as reset or restore.
    It should fix and work as normal, if it doesnt you can always go back from where you purchased it but it will. Goodluck.

  • Ipod classic 80gb video podcasts problem

    i have a 80gb ipod classic and when i try to watch video podcasts on it, it will play for about 4 minutes and then either quit playing it or will restart the iPod all together. i have restored my ipod in itunes 7 & 8, and both did nothing to help this problem. does anyone have anything to say do tell me to do to help with this problem?

    No, the iTunes Store doesn't make any podcasts (except maybe New Music Tuesday... or is that one gone again...?). But it could be an issue with the people who make the podcast.

  • Playing video podcast problem

    Hello-
    I am trying to play video podcasts on my itunes. So far no success. The video starts but is nothing but scrambled colors (mostly purple). audio is fine. Anyone can help?

    I just started having this problem on Friday afternoon, with no changes to my system information. Most of the video podcasts just show their album cover (if available) while playing the audio without video.
    I also have a similar problem that could be unrelated, but might give some insight into the cause of this problem.
    Before this I've noticed that as podcasts finalized download in the queue the video and audio in the pocast I was listening to or watching would stop, for as much as 10 seconds, while iTunes processed the podcast and brought it into the Podcast window. Once it was there and nothing was being downloaded everything was fine.

  • Three questions: Problem syncing, video problem, podcast problem

    I had a 4GB Nano and now I've upgraded to a 5th gen. 80GB Classic. I'm having 3 issues.
    The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect." I just disconnect the iPod anyway and it is fine. This doesn't really bother me, but maybe it is causing the other two problems.
    The second problem is a video is not syncing. I added 3 to my library at the same time. All 3 are shown in iTunes, but only 2 sync. Neither iTunes nor the iPod indicate a problem. I checked everywhere (even in music) in the iPod, but I cannot find the video. I compared all 3 videos and they all have the same properties. They are MPEG-4.
    The last issue may or may not be a problem. On my Nano I had podcasts configured to sync only if they are new and it worked great. Only new episodes synced. On the new classic however the last 5 podcasts sync regardless of whether they are new or not. I'm not sure why this is. It's not a problem now - I have plenty of space - but later it may be an issue.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    *The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect.*
    Your iPod is probably enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
    Connect your iPod and in when it appears in the iTunes 7 source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
    When an iPod set to manual update, the "enable disk use " box is greyed out and ticked by default: Safely Disconnect iPod

  • Video podcasting problem - video unable to download through iTunes

    We are currently having an issue with downloading video through iTunes.
    We have 12 main videos and have been up and running for almost a year now. We changed our video server since we were getting more traffic. But we left the feed.xml on the same server since that does not influence the bandwidth usage.
    When we changed the video server, we only revised the enclisure url in the feed.xml. All the moved videos were checked after the move and they do play.
    The problem right now is that when we go to the iTunes store and try to download it through iTunes, it gives us this error
    There was an error adding the episode to iTunes
    The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play.
    If I can view and download through a browser, why would this error appear? I have even added the mimetype as suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1834388&#1834388
    The video was originally converted from a 720x480 dv/ntsc mov into a mpeg4 by using the quicktime player pro export, movie to ipod option.
    Any insights are appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Bongo
    PS: you can find the podcast from iTunes store if you do a search for "animetv"

    Hi,
    The problem you're seeing isn't caused by the server where your videos are hosted, but is a problem with the feed itself. See http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoanimetv.com%2Ffeed.xml - the big problem diagnosed is that there's an XML parsing error which is breaking the podcast in iTunes. At line 350 you've got some javascript code (which won't work in XML) - take out those lines and your feed will validate and start working in iTunes again.

  • "Submit podcast" problem related to artwork

    Hi,
    When attempting to submit the RSS feed for my new podcast iTunes displays the information retrieved from the XML file but doesn't show the artwork, just the generic 'podcast' image as used by Apple. The artwork is definately in the right folder on the server and is listed in the XML file. I can subscribe to the podcast without problem and all artwork and chapter images appear when played within iTunes.
    I don't want to submit the podcast to the iTunes directory without the artwork showing up.
    Any suggestions?
    Grant.

    Sorry, the steps are not incrementing after step1.

  • Download podcast problems

    uh, every now and then, (usually when there is a podcast that i want) it will download for about 5 minutes, and then stop. then when i try to do it again... it wont download, and when i click the "!" for more info it says...
    "There was a problem downloading <insert podcast name here>. An unknown error occurred (-39)."
    what the poop does that mean and how do i fix it?
    Message was edited by: my nano is on the fritz! Help!

    I had this same problem and figured out how to remedy it. you pretty much have to clear out a temp folder that itunes creates for downloads. the location is in
    My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\.
    In there you should see a folder called Podcasts. In that you should see the podcast/podcasts you're having problems downloading. Just delete the folder and try downloading it again. That should hopefully fix the problem.
