As of iTunes 11.1 and iOS7, podcast files will no longer play in the Music app on the iPhone (this is very annoying, but that's the way it is).
The two easiest options are probably:
What Apple wants you to do: download and install their free Podcasts app onto your iOS device. In theory your podcasts, including the BBC news one, should sync onto the Podcasts app. This is supposed to "Just work", and if it just works for you, well, congratulations, but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case for most posters in this forum.
What I'm leaning towards: for all podcasts in iTunes, Get Info, and change them from "Media Kind = Podcasts" to "Media Kind = Audiobook". That will allow them to sync to the Music app. Then you'll have to arrange smart playlists or whatever to sync those (ex-)"podcasts" to your Music app.

Podcasts gone AWOL

Greetings;
Today, after not using iTunes for several days, I opened it to refresh the podcasts for the trip to work. Clicking on the Podcasts source, the content pane was empty! No Podcasts at all! I had built up a nice list of podcasts over the years, now all gone!
Searched the discussions and kbase. No joy. Went to the Advanced prefs and pointed again to the music folder on an external drive where it has been for a long time. Selected File > Add to Library... and pointed to the Podcast folder on the external drive, but the added items were not the same as last week, some kind of subset from months ago.
Searched for how to rebuild the database and came up with a "re-create" procedure that sounds extreme and will require I export all of my dozens of playlists one by one and later add them back, Ouch!!!
Good golly, what is going on here? The music, movies, books seem to be fine, iPhone sync'd fine to all other tabs. It's just the podcasts, that are gone, gone, gone!
AAAaaarrrggghhh!
Any ideas? is there a rebuild or something less extreme than deleting the database completely and adding all the playlists back?
Please help, Sincerely, dave

Chris, thanks. A follow up if you don't mind.
I have iTunes pointing to a folder on an external FW drive where there is a folder with folders inside by artist name. At one point in the past I just told iTunes to put the music there using the specified procedure for moving music to an external. Still, in the iTunes folder in the Music folder, there are folders for Album Artwork, iTunes Music (containing only a few folders and a podcast folder that doesn't match my lost podcasts), and Previous Libraries, an iTunes Library file and an iTunes Music Library.xml file. The latter two show modification dates in 2006, which furthers the mystery.
So, specifically, when you say restore from backup, do you mean something like trashing the entire iTunes folder but not the music folders on the external? and then going to Backup (the app) and restoring the most recent iTunes folder from there?
Thanks.

So are all of my podcasts gone permanantly?

Apparently installing the new version of iTunes which coincided with the new iOS transformed all of podcasts into cloud files because Apple does not understand that I want to own things. I told it to re-download all of the files from the clould. While I was at work, someone from my family did the one thing I told him not to do and closed iTunes. I came home to find that they are all gone. I'm having it download all previous episodes again, presumably from the archive, but some don't go back as far as the one I used to have, some by several years. Are they just gone for good? Both of these podcasts are free downloads, so if there is any other place to acquire them, I can't imagine it's in violation of any rules or laws. I've checked the folders on the hard drive, but they appear to be empty, I don't understand how reinstalling iTunes could have gotten rid of them all, but there you go.

When iTunes came back, all of the content existed, but I had to click the accursed cloud icon next to it to download it. I clicked the one on top in an attempt to re-download all of them. Someone didn't listen to me and closed iTunes before it finished. I came home to find the files deleted and the folders empty, I've checked, the files aren't there for some reason. I've tried the archives in iTunes, but they only go so far, I have gigs worth missing.

Podcast gone from the iTunes Music Store

I am pleading for assistance to get my education podcast relisted in the iTunes Music Store.
Our podcast has be listed in the iTunes Music Store for a while. 24 hours ago our podcast is now gone from the iTunes Store but can be found at this direct link:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=263153505
The feed is in the valid iTunes format and is a "clean" podcast. Can someone please tell me how to get the podcast relisted?
Thank you.

Try this - It works for music downloads:
Delete the video from iTunes library and choose move to trash.
Take it out of the trash and put it on the desktop.
Click on it, and it opens iTunes and plays.
Depending on your settings, this should also add it back to your iTunes Folder. Once you're sure it's there, you can delete the copy on your desktop.

Why is top 100 podcasts gone?

Any idea why Apple eliminated the "Top 100 podcasts" button beneath the top podcast lists on the music store (for both the general list and particularly the categories)? Ditching this feature seems like a loser for both the user and the podcast provider. I certainly know that it was useful for me to see how our show, which was not on the top 25 but usually within 10 or so of it, was doing. It also means our show will be that much harder for users to find.
The button was pretty small in terms of screen space, and I can't see what is gained by eliminating it. If anyone from Apple is listening, it would be good to put it back to give users one more tool for finding podcasts they might be interested in, and providers one more tool for tracking their shows' popularity.

The categories were redone and are back now.

Where have my podcasts gone?

I had hundreds of podcasts episodes, from multiple artists, all downloaded via the iTunes store, all on my MacBook. I've been collecting them for years. Then today they disappeared. Absolutely no sign of them anywhere.
The only thing I did was subscribe to a new podcast, on the Radio 1 iPlayer website. That one's there but NONE of my others are. My iPod only has 10 episodes of each of my subscriptions, so I can't retrieve them from there.
Does anyone know what's hapened and how I can get them all back? Please?!

Do you possibly mean the iTunes Music app on an iOS device? If so, iOS7 requires using the Podcasts app to access podcasts.
If you truly mean iTunes on the computer, as tt2 suggested, go to Edit > Preferences > General and select Podcasts. There should now be an entry for Podcasts in the sidebar.

Where have podcasts gone within music on an ipad in ios 7

Have downloaded ios7 and have noticed that within music podcasts have disappeared. Used to be under the more tab which is not there any more.

I know during iOS6 podcasts moved to a separate (free) app.

Did you change your Apple ID?

Updated to vista and all my podcasts gone!

My Itunes is on an external drive and my previous PC Died. Now with new PC and iTunes 7.6.2.9 I am trying to catch up on my podcasts and they are visible in libray but when I try to play they are listed as missing!
Anyone know where they can be accessed? Most of them are BBC and Astronomy cast episodes which I can't download from the iTunes stroe as they arn't listed there any more.

Oh gosh! I gotta use exclamation points to show how bad the situation is!!!!!!!!!!
Restore your iPhone by using iTunes. Make sure to restore the phone as new.

Manual syncing podcast-missing podcast

I'm manually syncing a podcast by dragging the podcast down onto the ipod device. In the status window it says syncing the file and appears to copy the file. But when I look at the podcasts on the ipod the podcast isn't there. Dragging the podcast a second time does nothing as itunes thinks the file is already there.
Where has the podcast gone? How can I find and play it?
Thanks
Michael

Do you have the problem when changing your iPod from "sync" to "manual"? I had to reformat my iPod to get it to accept certain podcasts once I turned off syncing. It also seems that when I turned off syncing, the iPod didn't "un-sync" (i.e. the amount of audio space used on the iPod stayed the same) but I can no longer access the podcasts. Mine doesn't act like it's copying, however. It gives me the green plus sign when I drag it, but then nothing happens. So basically it's as if the podcasts are still on my iPod, I just can't access them since I turned off syncing. Now I'll have to either turn syncing back on or reformat again and start over. (Which I may do to test my theory that the podcasts don't get removed, I just can't access them!)

HELP! Lost my entire library of over 700 songs with my last iTunes update. I had a lot of trouble even getting to update, and when it did it took out my entire library. Even after signing in with my apple ID it will not pull up my music. VERY frustrated.

It started with my iTunes not wanting to update at all. I kept getting an error that read "cannot access %appdata%". Ok so I let that go, still had my music, podcasts, books, etc...I just didn't have an updated iTunes. It still worked so I was cool with that. Then my phone broke this week, and I had to get a new one. When I came home to register, it didn't give me my songs like it did the last time I backed a device up to my account. So I had to do it manually. Not even half way through, it just stops and won't let me add anymore of my songs, and the few songs that I tried to drag over are gray in color on my phone and you can't listen to them when you tap them. Never mind all my other songs that I lost as well. I mean, come on! I had almost 300$ worth of music that I feel has been stolen. My kids received iTunes gift cards every Christmas and birthday for the past 3 years, and now it's gone. ALL OF IT. VERY VERY UPSET! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, so back to the issue. I'm beginning to get flipped out when it stops working altogether. iTunes, computer, everything. It finally says, iTunes has an update available that will solve the issue (yeah right). Me being dumb, I guess, I begin the steps to again try and download this update. Still getting the error mentioned above, so I start finding out what to do to get rid of that error so I can GET MY SONGS ON MY NEW PHONE. Go to apple support, and it says to delete iTunes and all its similar components, and it won't even let me do that!!! I go into administrator side, and it says I need permission. I had already gotten into our administrator side to which only my husband and I know the password so I already have permission. I give up on that for a while, and see if windows has any updates. There were a couple so I download those. Try to go back into iTunes once that's all done, and it shoots up this license aggreement. I'm excited at this point thinking my ordeal is over. So I click agree and iTunes comes up. That's when I discovered all my music, apps, podcasts GONE. I click on iTunes match, and it says something about matching music for $24.99 a month?! I WANT MY MUSIC BACK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR. If this does not get resloved, I WANT MY MONEY BACK that was spent on this music. If this isn't resolved I also will never, NEVER reccomend iTunes, or any of its other music/app/book/podcast related business to anyone ever again. I have been an iTunes user for almost 4 years now, and I have never been this disappointed. When my phone broke we almost got a regular phone to save money, but because of all my music/books/podcasts already in my iTunes account we got another iPhone. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO RECOVER MY LOST LIBRARY!

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

IPod won't sync anymore after moving itunes folder

I just got a laptop and want to be able to transfer all my music from iTunes and iPod from the desktop to the new computer. I wasn't ready to do it completely but read that I needed to move the iTunes folder to a shared folder so that I could access it with my laptop via my network. I did not realize what the results would be however! When I docked my iPod to the desktop this morning, I noticed that my iPod was empty after it had updated. All 4000+ songs/podcasts gone! Ack! I noticed that iTunes seems to be ok, all the songs are there, except they all have an exclamation point next to them. Re-docking and trying to sync does not work. The music won't transfer. I put the folder back into the my documents folder but nothing changed. Even system restore didn't help. I am desperate. I am even willing to forget the idea of putting everything on the laptop if I can just get things to how they were. When I clicked on the exclamation point in iTunes it said the original file could not be found. I would hate to have to load each cd in again. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

First I'll explain whats happened. when you moved the folder to a shared folder, then tried to update the iPod it wiped it out because iTUnes had no songs in it. All music shared over a network will not update to iPod, the songs have to be on the PCs harddrive.
What you need to do first is place the folder on the "Old" PC back to its default location in the "My MUisc" folder. It gets confusing because theres 2 iTUnes folders, one is named "iTUnes" the other is inside this one named "iTunes Music". So the "iTUnes" folder needs to be in the "My Music FOlder and the "iTUnes Music" one needs to be in the "Itunes" folder.
Once you have placed it back open iTUnes and make sure all the ! marks beside the songs are gone. DON'T UPDATE YOUR IPOD!!!! Since its already blank, you can use the whole iPOd harddrive to transfer the songs over. Hold down the shift and Ctrl keys. While holding them down connect the iPod let iTUnes open, and when it list the ipod, let go of the keys. this will stop an auto update from happening.
Now rightclick ipod in iTUnes, hit options, select "Manual Update". Now your iPod will be set to transfer. go here and follow the directions for moving the whole iTUnes library and songs to your new laptop. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Once everything is transfered over you can rightclick the ipod and set it back to auto update or whatever you had it on and uncheck "Enable Disk Use"
I also see you have a toshiba laptop, iPOd has issues with some toshibas so this artical may also be of help if you have troble getting the laptop to see your iPod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300836

Copy "info circle" ?

I want to copy into a text file the information that is provided in the dark circle with the i in it that appears at the end of the discussion line in podcasts. A click on the circle creates a popup with additional information on that podcast. It cannot be copied by the usual method of highlighting and copying. It cannot be captured by the Grab utility. Sometimes that information appears in one of the headings after one has highlighted the podcast, gone to File and "Get Info". It may appear under the Video or Lyric sections but it is incomplete if more than a few lines.
When I was using 10.3 or before I could simply highlight and copy the information pop-up but now under 10.5.8 on an Intel machine that option does not work as the system does not allow me to highlight and copy that specific pop-up.
I want to save some of these podcasts to disc and want to print the detailed description for the case. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Dear Kumar,
Unfortunately there's no such option in SAP. In general, unlike MMR, VMR & other master data, Inforecord stores information specific to particular unique combination (Vendor, Matl, P.Org & Plant), so you must enter each Inforecord manually.
You have one option of create Inforecord automatically from PO. but these will be without pricing conditions.
Also you have mass maintenainance transactions to maintain certain data in collectively T;code: MEMASSINFO

How is content on iTunes Audiobooks screened?

While browsing iTunes Audiobooks I came across selections dealing with incest/paedophilia/****. Why are these there in an unfiltered site?

I purchased a nice AppleTV october 2010. since then I have seen tons of content disappear. The content is absolutely dismal. Where have the podcasts gone?? MSNBC is leaving, and more and more... why did Apple mislead it's followers with promises of expanding content when in fact it is disappearing. One or two movies (crappy ones at that) a month added is not right.
the shows are unwatchable, no classics, just low junk.
WHAT GIVES APPLE?? I have already made the decision to never purchase another itunes music item ever again due to extreme low quality bit rates (lofi) and their policy of not letting you re download if you lose your machine, HD failure etc.. they are getting pretty bad at content and charging premium. I now purchase cd's on line for 2-3 dollars and burn 600-800 kbps. so i can actually hear the msuic when i play it through my real speakers.. difference is stunning.. BAD APPLE!
