Podcasts are skipping around?

ever since i downloaded the new itunes update, my podcasts wont play completely through but will stop as if trying to spool then they will skip about 10-12 seconds ahead. but when i put them on my ipod they play fine. is anyone else having this problem?

Having the same exact problem with my windows XP machine. It was fine until I downloaded 7.0.2 and now all of my movies and TV shows that previously played fine are skipping and pausing. This is happening in both I Tunes and Quicktime. Under the I tunes support there are several suggestions to fix this, but none of them worked for me. Given that several of the suggested solutions have to do with changing the settings of Quicktime perhaps it is a problem in there. One way to go back would be if you have a disk that came with an ipod that would contain the old software, but you would need to back up all of your songs and video before uninstalling I tunes and starting fresh. It is interesting that this is not a problem on my G4 or ibook which I also upgraded, only on the windows machines. Let's hope that apple gets 7.0.3 out quickly and solves this problem.

Anyone have any ideas or did my wife and myself just get defective phones?
Like I said all songs and podcasts start like 30 sec in them jump back to the intro then to the end then the middle. Its quite crazy.

TED podcasts are getting deleted

TED podcasts are getting deleted. I have been dealing with this for 2 days.
The Auto delete settings are no help. I download and then they get deleted with the next Refresh.
I am running Itunes 11.1.1 (11) 64 bit on OS X 10.8.5.
I think something needs to be updated in the podcasts headers?
Help

Today iTunes downloaded the October 2013 event podcasts (SD and HD). I restarted iTunes and it started downloading the two files again (the SD and HD files). But before it started downloading the files it first deleted the existing podcasts (both SD and HD). It removed the folder and deleted all of the podcasts from the disk and the library.
I have several years of Apple Events in these podcasts.
And I'm running OSX 10.8.5 and iTunes 11.1.1.
I restore from Time Machine all of the podcast files as well as the iTunes library file from before everything was deleted. If I start iTunes with the network disconnected it does fine. I can plug the network in and it is fine. I can also then Refresh Podcast and they're both fine. Nothing gets deleted and nothing re-downloads. But if I start iTunes with the network plugged in, the two podcasts get completely deleted and it starts downloading the October 2013 event again.
Very frustrating. I guess I'm going to have to Unsubscribe the two podcasts so they don't get deleted again. At least I'm hoping they'll stay around.

Podcasts are showing up under Albums, Songs and Artists categories on iPod

I recently purchased an iPod - 80gb. I used iTunes to subscribe to several podcasts.
On iTunes the podcasts are in the podcasts folder, the music is in the music folder - happy days!
However, on my ipod, as well as being listed under the podcast category, they are also accessible from Albums, Artists and Songs. This is seriously annoying.
Is this a bug? A girl who worked in the Apple store seems to think it might be when I brought my ipod in for them to check.
I use iTunes only to manage podcasts and music. I tried a restore and it's still the same.
The related issue is that while the podcasts sync fine and appear as desired in the podcast category, the played podcasts are still available via Albums, Artists and Songs even though I've instructed iTunes to only sync unplayed items.
Will this be fixed? Is there a workaround?

Unless Apple changes the software, there is no real fix. If you don't want podcasts to play when you're shuffling your music library, make sure the podcasts are set to Skip When Shuffling (under Get Info). And you can send your feedback to Apple here:

MacBook type skips around

I have an MacBook using OS. When typing the type skips around all over the place. The only thing I do to correct it is re-type. Any ideas why this is doing this craziness?

You don't mention which MacBook you have, but a common problem, especially in the older white or black thermoplastic MacBooks 1,1 through 4,1 built 2006-2008 is that the removeable battery can bulge or swell enough to distort the topcase assembly (one piece containing keyboard, trackpad, and palmrests) enough that it causes keyboard and/or trackpad errors.
The original batteries are expected to have a useful life of about 300 charge/discharge cycles, or about 3 years.
Apple never formally acknowledged any problem, nor 'recalled' swollen batteries, although reading through these forums over the years, some users have received a replacement for a swollen battery while the computer was under Applecare.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the battery is severely swollen, it may be difficult or impossible to put it back into the computer, once it is removed.
So if your battery still holds a charge and you absolutely need to use the computer powered ONLY by the battery without being plugged into an outlet before you have the opportunity to secure a replacement battery, you might NOT want to remove it right now.
It is easy enough to check to see if a swollen battery is causing the problem:
Turn off the computer, unlock and remove the battery.
Plug in the Magsafe power adapter and use it to power the computer, and turn it back on, with the battery still removed.
Try doing using the apps you normally use. If the problem is gone, it was the bulging battery.
If the battery visibly bulges or swollen, and problem goes away with the battery removed, you should replace the battery.
New replacement batteries from Apple are US$129.00. There are other less expensive vendors, some far less expensive. I tried a replacement battery from a reliable vendor of other Mac products and found that for the way I use my MacBook, plugged in a substantial amount of the time, and discharged only about once a month, the lower-cost replacement battery swelled sooner than the original (2 years and 150 cycles) versus 3 years and 500 cycles for the original, so I purchased another Apple battery to replace it.
If you have a newer MacBook or MacBook Pro designed without a user-removable battery, the battery can still swell and still distort the keyboard and/or trackpad enough to cause a malfunction. Then you should take it to an authorized Apple repair facility to have the battery condition assessed.

Podcasts are downloaded to the wrong folder

I've moved my library to a network drive (Y:). However, new podcasts are still being downloaded to My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Podcasts
The Media folder location has been changed to Y:\Shared Music in the preferences, and there doesn't appear to be a separate option for a podcast folder, so why is it downloading to the default location instead of where I've told it to?

i am also having the same problems where iTunes has its own automatically assigned folder for it to store its completed podcast downloads, which on my PC it has chosen this C:\Users\chris\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Podcasts as its location for them to be stored at.
however, i dont like this and i would like 2 change my preferences on where the podcasts would b downloaded and then afta completion, they would be automatically be moved straight to the drive and folder location due to my own choosing so i know where my completed podcast which i had jus downloaded, would be in a specifically desegnated LABLED folder which is located on another drive thats available to use, and not to have it anywhere on my main PC's HD for Windows 7, which is its C: drive.
i hope u may b able 2 help me out with an answer shortly.
kind regards,
chris

New podcasts are not marked as unplayed

Hello,
With the Podcasts app some new podcasts are not automatically marked as unplayed in the iPhone and iPad apps with iOS 8 and iOS 7 (there is no problem with iTunes in my mac/windows laptops).
I have realized that it depends on the format of the date of episode. For example, if the format is something like "22 nov 0014", the new episodes won´t be marked as unplayed and I have to do it manually.
However, if the format of the date is something like "15 of november", the new episodes will be marked as unplayed.
I have tried to modify the format of the date of the iPhone to U.S. (I am spanish), but nothing changed.
Do you have any idea about the reason of this behavior? Checking all the new episodes manually is very annoying.
Thank in advance.

I don´t know why but the problem was solved two days ago. Now, the format of the date in the app is exactly the same for all the podcasts, the "correct" one.
I guess that apple has modified something in the database to use the same format that it was using the iTunes app of OSX.

With iTunes 10, Computer Still Freezing When Podcasts are Downloading

For the last several versions of iTunes, my computer has been slowing down a LOT while podcasts are downloading, especially when a new iT version is first installed. Then things improve over time. Now, with iTunes 10.1.1.4, it's horrendous. ITunes takes forever to open, and then causes my computer to become completely unresponsive. It doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard inputs, so I can't minimize it or shut it down.
Sometimes when that happens, I can't even open Task Manager, but when I can, it indicates that iTunes is using between 95 and 98% of CPU. In that circumstance, I can't even shut down iTunes with TM. After 15 or 20 minutes and all the podcasts have downloaded, I'm able to use my computer again, even with iTunes open.
It happens with all podcasts, but obviously it's more of a problem when a big pcast is downloading.
Today, I got the famous blue screen of death. All my programs had frozen and I was trying to shut down iTunes. The blue screen said "kernel data inpage error," whatever that means.
With past versions, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iT, but that has not helped.
All my other programs are working fine. Today I ran CCCleaner, AdAware, RegCure and Malware Bytes, but nothing changed. My McAfee anti-virus max scanning time is 10 seconds.
Any idea what could be going on here? Or how to begin troubleshooting this mess?

Hi,
finally worked! I found this post and it has finally worked I understand it is the same as WHATHECK's answer so thanks WHATHECK!
You have to be certain that you have backed up your Library's and Playlists and that you are doing the one in the root (if like me you use a HD any old library/playlists instead of deleting them put them some were safe just incase and make sure you are re-creating the library from your root folder i.e user/music/itunes

Seriously thinking of not updating itunes next time...

Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
- Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
- Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
- Only podcasts are affected.
- This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
- The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
As I said, this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
Need Help!!!

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone.

I recently got an iphone 5S and my songs not purchased from iTunes are grayed out (phone only) and are skipped past when playing them through my iPhone. i have tried the following:
1) Removing all music from phone and resynced to iTunes PC library.
2) Erased phone and restored from back up
3) Erased phone and started as a new iPhone
4) Reformated the music files in my library that weren't playing
5) Deleted songs from iPhone and computer and re-imported CDs
6) Tried to redownload my COMPLETE MUSIC LIBRARY from iCloud.
7) I have also turned it off and turned it back on several times
8) I tried syncing through my macbook (only moved partial songs to it to see if it would even work).
9) I have tried to get Siri to play them, did not work.
10) All music does play fine on my iPod Touch 3rd (iOS6 i think) gen and iTunes on Mac and PC
11) I added a CD to my roommates iTunes and it plays on their iPhone 5S but not mine.
After all of these things it is now WORSE!!! My iTunes purchased songs are now experiencing the same issue along with some (not all) of the original music files that were skipping and grayed out. My conclusion is i have no clue at this point! I have done everything i have found online in EVERY discussion, i have spent over 60 hours trying to get this to work and i am asking myself, i bought this product why am having to fix this when it worked just fine on my iPod touch (3rd Gen) and iPod Classic!!!! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US!!!!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Recently I can no longer play music on my iPhone 5. music is listed but just skips around.

recently I can no longer play my music on my iphone 5. Music is there but skips around if I try to play.
does anyone know a fix?

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, Some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds of play...

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
AJ

Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
