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?

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?

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 UNDER MUSIC IN IPOD

HERE IT IS ....
OPEN ITUNES
CLICK ON PODCASTS
CLICK ON ALL ALL ALL UP ON THE TOP
RIGHT CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL PODCAST AND THEN CLICK INFO
DELETE ALL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO MUSIC (ARTIST, COMPOSER, ALBUM, GENRE ETC)
TYPE UNDER CATEGORY/GROUPING PODCAST AND MAKE SURE CHECK MARK APPEARS IF AVAILABLE
CHANGE GENRE TO PODCAST OR VIDEO PODCAST IF APPLICABLE
THEN CLICK OK AND U MAY SEE ID CONVERSION IT'S OK U WILL SEE CHANGES MADE ON ITUNES WINDOW.
NEXT RIGHT CLICK ON TOOL BAR PROVIDING DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PODCAST
(NAME, DESCRIPTION, TIME,DATE ETC)
UNCHECK ALL CATEGORIES RELATED TO MUSIC IF YOU LEAVE GENRE, DATE, TIME, CATEGORY, ETC SYNCHING YOUR IPOD WILL DEFAULT BACK TO MUSIC
NOTE U MAY HAVE TO TRY SYNCHING SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL U CAN FIGURE OUT THE CATEGORIES CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND AUTO SUBSCRIPTION WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED AS THEY DOWNLOAD TO ITUNES OTHERWISE THEY WILL DEFAULT BY INFO WINDOW
I THINK THIS SHOULD WORK ... I NOW HAVE MY MUSIC ...UH WHERE IT SHOULD BE MUSIC AND PODCASTS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ... I MIGHT JUST KEEP THIS THING..WAS ABOUT TO RETURN IT!
TOOK ME 30DYS TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT

1) Got a windows formatted ipod, how do i change it to be mac formatted?
Download the latest iPod software, run it, and choose the Restore option. This will reformat your iPod (erasing it, of course) to Mac-native format.
Sorry, no idea on question #2.

Why aren't my podcasts appearing in the 'Music' app?

After updating my iPhone 4S to IOS6 I was dismayed to see that I had to download a new Podcasts app to listen to my podcasts. Even though when I sync my iPhone to iTunes the fact that I may have more Podcasts in the app than I have synced doesn'e register with either iTunes or my iPhone.
I think seperating the two was a terrible desicion and is there anyway to get the podcasts back into 'Music'?

OK, Bhazel, I think I just found what I was looking for, and I tried it and it worked. check out this discussion

Re: Podcasts App - No sync with iTunes??
Oct 7, 2012 1:10 AM (in response to luckman212)
I also had a lot of podcasts in my Mac's Itunes library, but none of them appeared in my iPhone's podcasts app.
Here's what worked for me:
1- Uncheck all podcasts in Mac's iTunes (under devices > iphone > podcasts)
2- Syncronize (That should mean deleting all podcasts from the iPhone)
3- Uninstall Podcasts app from iPhone
4- Reinstall Podcasts app
5- Re-Check podcasts to syncronize in iTunes
6- Sync
7- It worked for me!
Hope that helps!

Podcasts in Itunes appear under Music Genre Podcasts

Does anyone know how to get podcasts downloaded/subscribed to using iTunes to appear on their iPod under PODCASTS instead of appearing under Music > Genre > Podcasts ?
Thanks

They should appear in both places. Do you have a "Podcasts" entry under "Music" on the iPod? If not, make sure your synching options include Podcast updating in iTunes ("iPod Options" while the iPod is visible to iTunes).

ITunes - iTunes U podcasts insist on appearing in music library

Hi,
I hope this is roughly speaking the right place to ask this.
As the subject says I have downloaded a lot of podcasts from iTunes U and rather than being in the podcast library they have appeared inthe music library.
Downloading via my iPod touch they appear as regular podcasts so the issue is in iTunes.
Is there a way of forcing these podcasts be act like proper podcasts.
I don't mind too much if I have to hack a script together, but I would prefer something involving less effort.
Thx,
Rob...
Examples are:
iTunes U -> Stanford -> Science & Technology -> Mathmatics & Computer Science
iTunes U -> Little Kids Rock -> Guitar Lessons - Videos

but I can't find them in the library or anywhere in my iPod.
All my iTunes U downloads happen to be videos (perhaps they all are - I'm not a frequent user) and I found them under *Video Playlists.* From the *Main Menu,* look under *Videos/Video Playlists,* but do not look under Movies, they are not there!
Note that if Videos is not already shown on your Main Menu, you can select it to show up by going to *(from Main Menu)/Settings/Main Menu.*
By the way - the iTunes U videos cannot be found with the Search facility on my 160GB iPod Calssic. Bit odd really!

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.

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 go into Music Library rather than podcast list

Hi
I've been downloading a variety of podcasts from iTunesU. Most of them go into the podcast list as you'd expect but some don't - instead they add themselves to the Music Library and also create playlists from themselves! When this happens the podcasts in question don't appear in the podcast directory, just in the music library
I don't want them in the Music Library - they're podcasts after all not music - but can't seem to move them without deleting them
Any suggestions

Found an answer in another thread around here. It's for changing from Podcast to Music, but if you reverse the directions, you'll be all set!
"The "usual" suggestion for anything to do with Podcasts is put them in a playlist, although personally I have never tried this so I don't know if they would appear under music. If you're really determined, you could make a copy of the Podcast file and place it in a music folder. That is, look in the Podcasts folder, and copy or move the file to another folder. You would then have to "add that file" to the iTunes library, and if you've moved it, delete the link to the old location in your library. This seems like an awful lot of work (for each Podcast episode) that achieves ... well, very little quite frankly."
Here's what I did.
From within the Mac's finder, I copied the file to the folder for the podcast I want it to appear with. Then, from within iTunes, I selected Add to Library, navigated to that folder, and picked the file--and voila! It's back listed among the other podcasts!

Podcasts appear in Genre

Hello everyone,
I've just finished wiping the hard drive on my Macbook and resintalling and now all of my podcasts appear under Genre rather than in Podcasts. I deleted all of my subscriptions and re-subscribed using iTunes to no avail.
Can anyone offer any assistance here? Its driving me nuts...
Many thanks
Dave

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.

TS5181 iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch, Why?

iTunes radio does not appear in "Music" on my iPod Touch. How can I fix this?

Ok, I have resolved this issue myself. I contacted Apple support but they had no clue.
The resolution is this, bring Siri up and say "radio". Radio comes up and you touch "now playing". Believe it or not the radio icon appears and remains.
I hope that helps other folk.

I purchased a ringtone from Itunes FROM my iphone. The purchase appears under "Music" on my phone but how do I set it as my ringtone?

I purchased a ringtone FROM my iphone. The purshcase appears in "Music" on my phone; but how do I set it as a Ringtone?

grrrr...if anybody has figured this out, I'd love to hear what you did. I have the same problem. I can't set a ringtone that has downloaded to my music library as a ringtone. Is this a secret? I've read everything I can in the manual. The only thing I saw was ringtones are located in your music library.
