Podcast syncing & Podcast cover view in iTunes 11

Hello,
One of the features for iTunes 11 was podcast syncing. It was supposed to sync what podcasts you had between your computers and mobile devices, and also sync position. Was quite looking forward to this feature. Where is it and how do you make it work ? There is no cloud symbol beside Podcasts, was the feature dropped ?
Also I quite like the new Album cover view for Music, is it possible to get that for Podcasts ?
Thanks.

Ah you can get the nice Album view for podcasts. Create a smart playlist which adds all podcasts ("is kind podcast"). Select Music > Playlist. Select the smart playlist on the left. Gives you nice album view for podcasts. Also in the new mini viewer you can choose between podcasts in the pop up list.
No podcast syncing yet though.
Also it would be nice if you could force permanent cover art for podcasts. So many are missing even though they have a cover in iTunes.

  • How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
    Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
    Many thanks in advance!

    In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
    There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
    It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
    It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
    If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

  • Can't select cover view from itunes directly from ipod, only from library??

    Hi,
    I'm unable to select cover flow view on itunes from my ipod touch. Artwork and coverflow show up great on ipod when not connected to mac/itunes acct. and when using library on my mac.
    Please Help... THANK U

    OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

  • Syncing podcasts with itunes: crazy podcast count

    I have an iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2, syncing with iTunes 11.3.0.54.
    Recently when I sync podcasts, the podcast count in iTunes keeps showing an increased number of podcasts unplayed, far more than are actually unplayed on my computer and on the device.  Currently iTunes shows 61 unplayed podcasts, yet it shows 500 unplayed podcasts on the device (see attached image).
    When I view podcasts on the iPod through iTunes, multiple copies of the same podcast often show up (see attached image):
    Does anyone know what's going on here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    I (and many others) have the same problem. It seems that there is no solution for this at the moment.
    Hope this gets fixed with upcoming updates.

  • Bad iTunes/iPod podcast sync

    I've noticed iTunes 7 handles podcasts particularly poorly. I've got it set to copy the last 3 episodes of a selection of podcasts to my 2G iPod. Some of them don't appear in the "podcasts" icon under the iPod in iTunes, nor do they appear in the "podcasts" playlist when using the iPod itself. They also don't show up as "Music" when viewed through iTunes, although they can be found by album or artist when using the iPod itself. Among the annoying side-effects are the fact that these "lost" podcasts are re-copied every time I sync the iPod, and there appears to be no straightforward way to delete them.
    I dropped two episodes of a podcast that I don't subscribe to (ie, I just picked up two ad hoc episodes from the iTunes store) and they were treated the same way - they're on the iPod, but not on its "podcasts" playlist, and totally invisible to iTunes.

    I figured out part of the problem - I had the sync set to copy "last 3 unplayed episodes", rather than "last 3 episodes".
    Still, I see no way to get ad hoc episodes of podcasts (ie, from series I don't subscribe to) from the iTMS and into an iPod.

  • ITunes freeze when I'm trying to sync podcast on my iPod nano 6th generation

    Hello,
    when I'm trying to sync podcasts on my iPod nano 6th gen. from iTunes 10.6 iTunes freeze, and i close it from Forcing exit.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

    Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
    We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
    We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
    Hopefully someone out there can help us.

    easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
    I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • How can i sync podcasts from iphone to itunes?

    Here's my situation:
    I have an iPhone 5c that I have always synced with iTunes on a laptop that belonged to my workplace. But I have left that job now, and with it, I have left the laptop. I now want to sync that same iPhone 5c on my iMac at home. This iMac has an iTunes that has NO podcasts on it ...
    But when I prepare to sync the phone in iTunes and I click the podcasts tab and check the "Sync Podcasts" checkbox, it asks if I want to delete all the podcasts on the iPhone. I definitely *don't* want to do this ... I want those podcasts on the iPhone to be part of my backup on the computer. Many of these podcasts are older and no longer available for download from their original sources.
    Is there any way that I can achieve this? It's not like I paid for any of these podcasts -- it's all free content, so I'm not breaking any copyright issues here.
    Thanks for any help....

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th gen not sync podcasts with my Windows Itunes? Both are up to date with versions.

    I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
    In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
    So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
    I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
    Any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    Just downloaded the latest version of iTunes - iTunes 11.1.0.126. Even though I was already subscribed to all of my podcasts, there was a new Subscribe button next to each one. So, I clicked them. Now, every podcast in my list view is populated by every old episode ever published by that podcast. Worse, they cannot be deleted using my Delete key. Next to each old podcast is a cloud download symbol. My list view is now completely cluttered, making them extraordinarily long to scroll down through. Anyone know how to get rid of this major annoyance?

    You have to pay to subscribe to iMatch to be able to delete.

  • Can't play video podcasts in the album view box in iTunes 8

    I can't figure out how play video podcasts in the album view box (bottom left hand side) in the new iTunes 8. I could do it before w/7 but I don't remember what option I had checked off.
    Thanks in advance

    Let me know what you find out. I bought the new 80Gb ipod and I am having the same problem on long podcasts. It just reboots.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?
