Podcasts downloaded via wi-fi show as "--:--" after iTunes sync

3rd Gen Ipod Touch 64 GB using iOS4 attaching to Windows 7 with iTunes 9.2. I manually sync videos, music, apps, podcasts.
I download about a half dozen podcasts via wi-fi every week.
Ever since the upgrade to iOS4, whenever I attach my iTouch to iTunes then detach, all of my podcasts show a time of "--:--". At that point I can no longer "scrub" the podcasts and move forward and back in time. They still play but if you attempt to scrub, it jumps right back to the beginning.
If I delete and re-download them via wi-fi all is well again, at least until I attach to iTunes again.

I wish I had an answer, but my I-Pod does the same thing. This needs an immediate fix my apple.
My I-Pod is set for me to manually manage music. Is there a setting that will keep I-Tunes from automatically synching podcasts?

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

When i sync my iphone 3gs, my itunes hangs up after itunes sync the apps, so i can't pup music on my divice

When i sync my iphone 3gs, my iTunes hangs up after iTunes sync the apps, so i can't put music or videos etc. on my divice...
Why is that so

Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

Podcasts download but do not show in "Podcasts" on iPod

My podcasts download properly into iTunes but I can't find them on my iPod. I thought I found the solution by manually copying them to the Podcasts folder, but that no longer works. This always used to work automatically but lately does not (new version of iTunes problem?).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, as I said ive spent hours looking for answer and I think I might have it. My issue is a video podcast not syncing. I find now that some do sync and others dont. I find the problem lies with videos not being compatible with my 80g classic ipod. I used to get warnings, now I dont probably because I clicked the 'dont show this warning again' button or due to a software upgrade is just didnt show up one day. Anyway if you go to page 16 of this discussion down the bottom in a thread started by 'lynnhopes' the answer there is all about resetting warnings. I re-set my warnings and it showed me a warning saying the podcast i was trying to download is not compatible with my ipod. Question is - is there anything on settings which CAN make it compatible???

Downloaded apps do not show up desktop iTunes 8.0.1.11

Hi,
I just recently got a first generation Ipod touch. When I hook it up to my itunes on my desktop, it shows up and I can transfer music extra on it.
But when I go to the Itunes Apps Store on the desktop and choose to buy an application, it buys it and says its downloading it. But after downloading it does not show up in the apps section of my itunes (desktop). And when I check the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications" it is blank with the directory inside it - C:\Documents and Settings\anish\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications\Downloads\applicationname.tmp
iTunes did not create the ipa files in the Mobile Applications directory at all. So I can't sync an application to the touch, as iTunes sees no application as there is no .ipa file of the application.
But if I go to apps store via the touch and buy it - it then downloads and installs it, and then I can sync it via touch to desktop easily.
But why can't I buy applications on the desktop iTunes and have it sync with my touch.
I have even deleted all the sync histories, backups and even completely restored my touch - (its running 2.1). Still the same issues.
I do not how to solve this.
If anyone can help me - that would be great.

Hi again,
I just tested a fresh new install of itunes (latest 8.0.1.11) on another computer, authorized it and I did not connect touch to it. I just went to app store and bought a free app. And the same issue happened - it downloads the apps and stores the files in its temp folder, but does not process and create the ipa application file. And it does not show up in the my application section of itunes either.
Could there be a problem with the latest version of itunes. I am absolutely running out of ideas...
Can anybody confirm this bug or issue?
Thanks
PS - One application did process completely was the nytimes.com application. Out of everything else - only this one did work.

Black nano freezes after itunes sync

Already did update to 1.1.1.
After i sync nano to itunes, i unplug the nano and play a podcast. It always freezes before the podcast starts to play. I always have to do a manual reboot. Then afterwards works normally until the next time i sync.
Anyone have this problem as well??

I experienced the same symptom.
In my case, every night downloading podcast of CNN News, and NPR news. and when I try to listen it in the morning.
Every morning iPod nano 8GB black freeze, just trying to push PODCAST PLAYing button.
So, I asked to change to new iPod nano 8GB Black at the shop.
but even though after changing it to new one, I couldn't fixed it.
So I tried to find out the bypass way, and finally found it.
I hope it will be helpful for this case, too.
Please refer the following subject.

I have more than 60 apps on my iphone but only 30 showing on my itunes sync library. How can I upload all apps to the sync library?

When I try to sync my iphone I get this message that there are apps in the iphone that are not in the library. It seems that if I sync I will loose those. How can I make sure that all apps that I have downloaded on iphone are also in the itunes library.

I have DELETED calendars showing in my iTunes Sync Calendars list!?

iMac late 2009
OSx 10.10.2
iPhone 6 Plus
iOS 8.1.3
Completely Up to Date!
no clouds involved, no calendar subscriptions.
I have had a major problem with my Calendar's calendars, which I have completely repaired using Calendar. During that process, I had to rename a number of calendars in order to keep track of what I was doing - an intermediate diagnostic step. Once I'd gotten everything right, exported all the "good" calendars to .ics files, and deleted ALL CALENDARS - both the good ones and the intermediately named ones - then imported the .ics files back into Calendar... leaving me with ONE FULL SET OF CLEAN CALENDAR data. When I open Calendars on my mac, I see 33 calendars listed on the left side of the window.
My problem now that I'm ready to put my calendars back onto my phone, is that my Calendars Library (library/calendars) still has many of the intermediate calendar files (that have NOT been DELETED) and in iTunes, the list of Calendars includes all these same intermediate calendars, as well as the new calendars that I want to transfer to my phone. I would prefer to "select" "ALL CALENDARS" but I can't do that until I can remove the calendars that were supposed to be deleted/removed in the first place. In other words, I have 33 good, clean Calendars, but there are 71 Calendars in my Calendar Library.
What are the correct steps to remove the Library/Calendars folder so that the iTunes "Sync Calendars" list only shows the 33 good calendars, and not the 38 unwanted (deleted) calendars.
What do I have to do to finish the job?

I have/had the same problem. I tried deleting all the "Library" "Calendar" preference files I could find and like others nothing worked. Like others they would just recreate themselves.
BUT, I did find the solution. Not sure which part worked, but this is what I did.
I quit all the apps, Calendar, and iTunes.
I went into the folder pointed to by job-seeker above:
               <user>
               Library
               Containers
               com.aple.CalendarAgent
               Data
               Library
               Calendars
Manually went through each cached calendar folder and looked in the info.plist for the calendar title listed below "<key>Title</key>" and deleted the parent folders of no longer existent calendars.
Then find an app called "Reminders", open it and you will find all the deleted calendars that you have deleted over the years, they seem to get cached in it, delete them and quit.
Relaunch iTunes and find the deleted calendars in question are gone.
I think you could skip all the above and just try deleting the old calendars from this Reminder app and it may work, but the above is what I did when it worked for me and I do not want to recreate the problem just to verify my theory. ;-)
Hope this helps,
Michael

Not all photos show up in iTunes sync

I have always used Lightroom (professionally) and iPhoto (snapshots), but decided to give Aperture a try and bought it this week.
I have imported the iPhoto library (about 8000 photos), which went well. Then I wanted iTunes to start syncing my Apple TV (1st gen.) with Aperture instead of iPhoto. This seems very simple and straightforward, but the 8000 photos that Aperture shows don't show up in iTunes. It gives me about 1700 photos (this number seems to vary). It's the same when I want to sync my iPhone.
What could go wrong here? Why isn't iTunes seeing all the photos that I see in Aperture? This worked fine in iPhoto.

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

Email Deletes After iTunes Sync, WHY!!?? 3GS OS 3.1.3

Why does my email in my POP3 account inbox delete after/during sync with iTunes?

It shouldn't. Email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iTunes sync process.
Do you have the email account selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer the email account settings from your computer to your iPhone? If so, this only needs to be done once and can be deselected after the email account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone.
If selected, deselect this followed by selecting apply to see if this makes any difference.

Recover iMessages after iTunes sync

I have been having major battery issues ever since getting the 5s. I've restored a couple of times from iCloud, but it hasn't worked. Apple has said they can see a lot of crashing apps in the diagnostics report (about 30). The tech suggested I wipe it out and do a sync with iTunes instead of a restore, but apparently I would lose all of my iMessages. He said there are 3rd party apps to recover that. Anyone have experience with recovering iMessages after an iTunes sync? Any recommendations on what software to use for that? I'm assuming I would also lose any other data I have on my phone - like in Viber, Whatsapp, etc, is there any way to recover other data as well? Will I lose all of my settings this way too? I've come to depend on the iCloud backup and disappointed that I can't use it and have a stable phone.

It gets easier still:
1) Connect your Nano to you computer
2) Wait for iTunes to come up.
3) Click your Nano on the left and view the summary tab.
4) Click the "Configure Universal Access" button.
5) In the pop up window, uncheck VoiceOver

IPAD loses podcasts downloaded via iTunes Store

I've subscribed to several free podcasts via my MacBookPro and sync'd them with my iPAD. I tried to download some directly from my iPAD where it lets you click "get more" and browse the iTunes podcast library. I selected and download (or so I thought). I watched the downloads go through their progress and complete. I then could not find the podcasts on my iPAD. So, I don't know if they are there and lost chewing up storage on my iPAD, or if they somehow got deleted.
I opened a support link that got routed to someone in iTunes support in India who was the most terrible support person Apple has ever allowed to respond to a question. This person has probably never seen an iPad let alone understand what I was writing about...
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can anyone tell me how to determine if there are lost or orphaned files on the iPAD?
Thanks.

Nope. I even submitted a complaint to Apple iTunes and have had no response. The person (probably in India) did not know what a podcast was. She couldn't find a record of the download in my purchase history (i had told her it was free) and sent me a bunch of BS articles from the knowledge base.
I am very disappointed. I have used Apple support for various products both HW & SW on several occassions and nothing but the very best possible experience. This "apparent" outsourcing of iTunes support is extremely disappointing.
I'm hoping that someone from Apple monitors this forum and at least checks this out. This is not the Apple I know and greatly respect. This is really disappointing.

HT4972 Tried to acquire NBC 2012 Olympics app. App noted that I need to acquire the iOS5 to complete the free install. Did the update (sync) via my pc computer. After update (sync), still can't acquire the app noted earlier. Pls advise. Thanks

I have an iPad2. Tried to acquire NBC 2012 Olypic app. Unsuccessful for the reason that it is recommending an iOS5. I updated (sync) my iPAD2 via my pc laptop computer. Still asking for an iOS5. Please advise on what I need to do. Thanks

Are you sure that the update was successful? Go to Settings>General>About>Version. Does it show that you are running iOS 5.1.1 in there? If it does show that you have iOS 5.1.1 on the iPad, try restarting or resetting the iPad and then try to download it again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Podcasts on iPod 30GB, not showing up in iTunes

A long time ago, I downloaded some Podcasts onto my iPod 30GB Video. The Podcasts do not show up in the Podcast directory on the iPod, but rather in the Artists directory. When I go into iTunes (latest version), the podcasts do not show up anywhere. I want to delete them because they take up a lot of memory, but since I cannot find them, how can I delete them?
Thanks!
Casey

I have essentially the same problem with my 120GB iPod. Managing from iTunes 9 in XP, some of the podcasts that I add end up in the podcast section of the iPod and some don't. When they don't, the only way I can access them is by searching for their title. They don't show up as "music" "audiobooks" or "podcasts"--they just don't exist until I search for them. In iTunes they do not show up at all. I have no way to delete them and listening to them is a big pain.
This has happened under two different sets of circumstances: (1) adding a downloaded mp3 to my library and manually defining it as a podcast and (2) manually adding a podcast link and dragging over the file once it downloaded. Obviously, I have sync disabled and manually manage everything.
This is a strange problem and I'm not optimistic that a solution exists. If one does, I'd be anxious to hear about it.
