Podcasts and iTunes

Is there any way to unsubscribe from podcasts in iTunes via applescript?
I want to copy an iTunes library to a media centre PC for the kids to watch (regularly, so it is up to date), and I want to delete all the non-age appropriate tracks from iTunes, and unsubscribe all the podcasts from the master library. I've figured out how to do the former, but I can't figure out how to get a list of podcast subscriptions and unsubscribe them all in applescript.

Can't you set up something like this with parental control?

Problem with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3

Hi everybody!
First of all, please excuse my poor English: I'm French. I'll try to do my best to write as well as I can.
I have some difficulties with podcasts and iTunes 6.0.1.3.
When I "sign up" (FR: "s'abonner") to some podcasts, they are not updated in my iPod nano indeed (and some others are), although iTunes says: "Your iPod is updated" (FR: "Votre iPod est à jour").
I have no way to put these podcasts episodes in my iPod...
Could you help me please?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,
Marco

Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

@King_Penguin thanks for your help
See below some additional info:
I have 3 Macs:
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US.
I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad

Error updating podcasts and itunes store

I upgraded to iTunes 8.0 recently and after that, even though i have internet access, i can not get to the iTunes store and update podcasts. please help

Hello a.mcintyre.rn,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Music, Podcasts, and iTunes Store app on your iPad.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I updated my ipad to ios5, after that Ipod programs are nowhere to be found like podcast and itunes university, where can i find them?

How can i retrieve my downloaded podcast and itunes university data files using IOS 5?

I don't know about iTunes U files since I don't use them but look for your podcasts in the Music App. Tap on More in the bottom right corner of the app and you can select Podcasts from the resulting menu. I assume that iTunes U would be in there as well.
Video podcasts would still be found in the videos app.

There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune U on my Itunes store heading without MUSIC, why?

There are only App Store/Books/Podcasts and ITune on my Itune store heading, why? This means I cannot order music as a Hong Kong subscriber?

That's correct. It seems that music is not yet available in the Hong Kong store.

You won't be able to download music, films or TV programmes from iTunes until either they are available in Pakistan (which will need a sufficient number of content providers to grant Apple a license to sell their content there), or you move to a country where they are sold. Are there other music purchase downloads sites in Pakistan ? You can also copy your own music CDs via your computer's iTunes (so you could buy CDs and copy them) and sync them to your phone.

I want to download music from itunes store. it is not giving me that option. I can get only apps, books, podcasts and itunes u. no option for movies or books

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

Podcasts and itunes 5.0 and shuffle OH MY

I've got a smart playlist that contains music and podcasts. when i autofill from the playlist to my ipod shuffle, only the music is copied to the shuffle.
I thought this had been fixed in itunes 5.o. apparently not.
any suggestions for how to make this work?
thanks!
mark

Since upgrading to iTunes 5.0, podcasts that appear to transfer to my shuffle, do not play. Music works fine, but the podcasts do not play. I have reset and restored (1.1) my shuffle many time with no change. (Very frustrating.) If someone from Apple is listening, what's up? BTW ... this same shuffle worked great with podcasts and iTunes 4.9. And the podcasts appear to play from the shuffle while connected to iTunes 5.0, but will not play when disconnected from my CPU.

I've tried clicking on "unplayed" episodes of podcasts and iTunes never shows me the newest or the ones I've recently downloaded. How to fix this?

Hello yung ron,
It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.

As explained , I have also visited the auth. Service station in Bangalore, they were not able to resolve the iTunes access issue.

Submitting a podcast and iTunes approval

I submitted a podcast/podcast feed a number of weeks ago and it successfully published in iTunes, however a few days after successfully publishing the feed, iTunes removed it from the US store (most likely because of technical difficulties). I then re-created the podcast using Feed for All and have successfully validated the feed on numerous sites on the Web.
I have since resubmitted the feed to iTunes, however the feed is not publishing ... I check our link and it says the feed "cannot be located in the US store."
My question: How do I get my feed on iTunes even though my feed is valid and clean? I have submitted and resubmitted it over 3 times in the past 10 days with no luck.
Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

One, how long does it take for a podcast to be accepted and found on the iTunes store?
Up to two weeks.
Two, how does iTunes define- copyright? I have heard numerous podcasts with sound bytes taken from tv and radio programs, and they have all been approved.
If the copyright owner raises a complaint, the podcast may be removed. Apple does not appear to automatically screen content.

Duplicate Podcasts and iTunes U Podcasts

Does anyone know how I can search for and delete duplicate podcasts? the File>Display Duplicates option only seems to be available for Music files.

If you cannot get your audio books to play on your 4th gen shuffle, hit play. While songs are playing hold down your VOICE OVER button until you hear names of songs and keep holding it. When you hear the title of your audio book or podcast you wish to hear release the VOICE OVER button. Hit PLAY one time. I spent 50+ minutes with apple support & they were finally able find out about the VOICE OVER button. Wish that was on the directions in the first place.
