Podcasts appear in Songs section as well

Hiya, does anyone know how to stop my podcasts appearing in my songs section also? They used not do this but then a while ago (maybe after an update?) they started to appear. I mainly use shuffle, so is a bit of a pain when a podcast kicks in.
Cheers.

Okay.
In iTunes 5, when you click on library, you have some 'radio' buttons across the top, just above the column titles . . . they are: All, Music, Audiobooks, Podcasts, Videos, Booklets . . .
When "All" is selected, you get it all. What you need to do is select "Music" and you'll see JUST your music. IMHO, it's much easier to see what you want with this method of keeping the library.

Podcasts appear in music library as well as podcast list

So, I don't know why, but sometimes, and now constantly, my iTunes and iPod get the podcasts appearing in the library, with the actuacl name of the song. How can I stop this?

Podcasts appear in artists, albums and song menus

Hello,
I am using iTunes 7.1.0.59 on WinXP Pro. I purchased a 30GB video iPod (2nd generation of this model) a few days ago. The problem is that all the podcasts I have synced to my iPod appear in music menus such as artists, albums and songs. For example the songs list includes podcasts as well as all the songs. This is very annoying to have different podcasts appears in each of these menus. Surely this is not be design.
I have done Google searches and no one else seems to have this problem. I think it might be an iTunes 7 issue as I never recall seeing this problem with iTunes 6 on my partner's 1st generation 30GB video iPod.
I have not been able to find anything in the menu or online Apple .PDFs which explain this behaviour.
Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
Thanks to all.

Found a fix for this. Another forum user found it.
Click on your iPod on the left column in iTunes. Click the podcast tab (at the top of the main window) and change the sync option to "all podcasts". Re-sync your iPod and your podcasts should show up in the right place.
Hope this helps. So unintuitive it makes me mad, but hey.

Podcasts in SONGS section???

How did my podcasts get into the songs section and how do I get them into the podcasts section? I'm using iTunes 7 on Win XP Home SP2.

Yes there is a little workaround..somewhat annoying but its good for now..if you go to iTunes...go to your podcasts library, if you want to transfer alot of them to your iPhone then you must go through the same process with any and every Podcast episode/Video..the way to do it is, select the one you want.
Then after youve selected the episode, just press Apple/Command I
thats to get the information, you will see the SUMMARY/INFO/VIDEO/SORTING.....tabs.
Click on Video, now you will see a drop down selection for MOVIE KIND and select TV SHOWS.
Then go to INFO tab and on GENRE all the way down select TV SHOWS and check PART OF COMPILATION option and now click OK... Now plug your iPhone. Go to the VIDEOS tab and you should see your Podcast Episode there under TV SHOWS
You have to do the same thing to any other podcast episodes, its annoying but its what works right now.

Video Podcasts showing as songs HELP!!!????

My video podcasts are showing as songs with a capture of from the actual video.
How do I fix this???

Best way to discribed the problem is like when video setting is on [TV on]. I made sure it was on [TV off] So my video podcasts appear like when a song is playing. But they play well on iTune but not on iPod.
Thx for reply

I can't put songs from iTunes on my Mac onto iPod. iPod accepts podcasts but not songs.

Then i find what i want. I want to start buy a song "payphone" by maroon 5. Then i click " buy from itunes" . Then appears my itunes application n my apple store application. But there's no maroon 5. :-(

Podcasts appearing in music

I have the latest version of iTune and an iPod Nano 2nd gen. I find it very annoying that my unplayed podcasts appear in the song list on my iPod, instead of only in the podcast list. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

You may have some success getting the songs off your iPod by using the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
After that, you need to restore the iPod by the sound of things.

Multiple copies of podcasts appear in iTunes on my computer, but correctly on my iPhone 4S. How do eliminate multiple copies in iTunes on my PC?

Hi AkMat.
Have you actually opened these files to see what they are yet? The few Apps I've downloaded (not from iTunes) typically come with a few files. The actual app, the instructions/help/TOU and sometimes an uninstall.

Podcasts in the song list

Ipod can distinguish between podcasts and songs but seems to list them together under the 'Songs' menu selection. Is there a way to exclude podcasts from the Songs list without creating playlists?

More specific info on the problem - when I browse my "Artists" or "Albums" categories within Music, all of my podcasts and audiobooks are listed along with my music. IMHO - these menu categories are specific to music, and as I have a lot of podcasts and audiobooks loaded on my ipod, this makes it difficult to browse my music (and I have loaded all of my podcasts and audiobooks through iTunes).
What I would like to see for the menu organization is:
- top level menu has major categories for types of data loaded on your ipod + maintenance options, e.g.:
o Music (contains only music)
o Podcasts
o Audiobooks
o Movies
o Settings
o Extras
- within each category, only items related to that category are listed and there is no overlap
- the only slight exception to this rule is for video podcasts, and IMHO these should be stored in podcasts (since they are not movies). Also - when you play a video podcast, it should always play in a video mode. Right now, if you play a video podcast from the main Podcast menu it plays only the audio, not showing the video.
Bottom line - I only want one way to navigate to a specific item - reduces confusion and simplifies the interface.

I can't get all my artists to show in my iTunes but all the songs show in the songs section. How do I get the artist to show?

Playback of all song sections

How can I get the playback to play a full arrangement (all sections a-b-a-c-a)
without having to manually switch the header to the next section. I am pretty sure I missed something because if this thing cannot play a full arrangement it becomes useless.

Try the Song Section controls:
See: Extend a song with song sections
Extend a region across multiple sections:
Open the song section controls, then tap All Sections.
Tap anywhere in Tracks view to close the song section controls.
Move, resize, or loop the region to extend across multiple sections. You can also record a new region across multiple sections.

you have to go to your atv's settings and remove the sync setup with the in the atvs eyes "old" computer
before you can add the "new" computer as a sync computer
an atv can only be set to sync with 1 and it don't know the "old" computer is not just off
