Podcasts in Music List?
Can someone tell me what determines whether a Podcast (downloaded from iTunes Store) shows up only under Podcasts or also under Music?
I have a (German) podcast which shows up in both places; it is the only one to do so, and I find it quite irritating.
Also, how can I make podcasts imported as MP3 files go into Podcasts rather than Music?

I purchased and downloaded the Family Pack of IWork. I recently purchased another computer (MacBook Pro) and I want to be able to use IWork on the new
computer but don't know how to go about it. The only thing on the Apple home page is to purchase either the item or trial pack. I don't think I should have to purchase anything since a family pack covers 5 computers in the same household. Please, if someone knows how to go about this and what I need to do so please let me know. Thank you.

How can I move an mp3 podcast from music to podcast library?
I am downloading archived podcasts manually and when I import them into iTunes they show up in my music list. How can I get them into my podcast library?
Right-click the track(s), Get Info, go to the Options tab and set "Media Kind" to "Audiobook."

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog
Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

More songs in my iPhone music list compared to my iTunes music list?
On my iPhone 6 running IOS 8.1.3, I currently have 1624 songs. After syncing with iTunes on my Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2, the count at the bottom of my total song list is 1613 (a delta of a 11 songs).
I do not have any duplicate songs after running "Show duplicate items" in iTunes. I know I have 2 podcasts and 1 music video but I don't think this is included in the song list. Although, the number of albums seem to match up just fine both having 1016 in total.
I appreciate any tips on how to figure out the difference or what could be causing why I have 11 more songs in my music list on my iPhone.This is a common occurrence. I had about 2 songs difference about 2 years ago, rectified it, and the cause was something like a free song or two I had downloaded onto the iPhone.
If it bothers you, here is the process to rectify:
In iTunes on your Mac, sync your iPhone. Then while the iPhone is plugged in, go to the iPhone's Music tab in iTunes and uncheck "Sync Music". Then click "Apply" in the lower right.
This will clear your iPhone of all previously synced music. It should leave behind the extra 11 songs.
Do what you like with these songs. Then recheck "Sync Music" and click "Apply", which will restore the 1613 songs to your iPhone. -
ITunes U Podcasts polluting Music Library
Hi there,
I have strange issue using iTunes 9.
I subscribed to iTunes U podcast. iTunes downloads chapters and throws it into iTunes U label but at same time it adds it into Music Library.
iTunes U podcasts on grid view in "U" section are shown as different podcasts but in list view everything is OK.
See screenshot for details:

In Music Library while in grid view I can see all those podcast's chapters all around.

Strange is - my "U" content is labeled as "Music" while in Music Library and as "Podcast" while in iTunes U section selecting multiple files at once. Such settings are "out of the box" right after file is downloaded from iTunes.

I can't do anything about it - as you can see options are grayed out or changing them does nothing.

Separating podcast and music libraries
I need some help organizing my libraries. I believe what I want is to have my Podcasts in on library that I can listen to and update while I'm at work during the day, but them have my music accessible when I plug in to my network at home. I'd also like that the home library is set up (perhaps as a server) so that my wife can access the shared files without adding them to her laptop's library, and they can be accessible to home audio/video equipment.
I tried setting up two libraries, and on the home network setting up home sharing. However, when I login and open the local library, I don't see the one I set up for sharing. It seems like it needs someone's iTunes running and serving. I tried using my Buffalo Linkstation to set up a media server, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Please help!
Any advice on this configuration?If this is an older iPod shuffle (used in shuffle mode), you can't really select a particular track to play and there are no playlists. That podcast would eventually come up, but not "on demand" when you want to hear it.
This is how I use my shuffle and have some control in playing a particular track (in this case a podcast) when I want to hear it.
Put the podcast(s) and songs on the shuffle. With the shuffle selected in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), go to the Contents screen to the right. You'll see a list of tracks that are on the shuffle. The leftmost column just has numbers, from 1 to however many tracks are on the list. Click the top of that column (in the heading) so it is the one that is highlighted. There should be a little triangle there, and it should be pointing up; if it points down, click there again and it should point up. This sorts the list by the order the tracks are loaded on the shuffle.
Find your podcast on the list, and drag it to the top of the list, so that it appears first. If you have more than one podcast, make the podcasts the first tracks on the list. Eject your shuffle.
When you use your shuffle and you want to hear the podcast, put it in sequential play mode (using the switch). To hear the first track, press the center button three times in succession (like doing a triple-click on a mouse button). That makes it go to the top of the list. Since you put the podcast first on the list, you should hear the podcast. If there is another podcast, it should be the next track. -
Front Row claims no music, but iTunes has all my music listed
I'm new to the Mac OS so completely in your hands to help with an issue I am having with trying to get Front Row going... here is what I am observing and my environment:
Situation
- All my music is listed in iTunes (videos as well)
- When using Front Row and looking at the library it states there is no music and that I need to purchase music from the iTunes store
- My MacBook from work (2.0GHz Intel with 10.5.6) has the iTunes library also from my exernal drive... BUT has all the music listed! :/
Environment
- Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel)
- OS X v10.5.6
- Front Row v2.0 (229)
- All my music is on an external Buffalo TeraStation 1TB disk-array
- Music totals about 300GB (+/-)
- All my music is DRM-free and are 'ripped' from my CDs before getting the Mac... or mixes I have downloaded online from various sites such as Podomatic, etc.
What I've tried
* In looking at various sites online (including here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1826723&tstart=0) I have tried the solution of taking the default music location in iTunes and putting an alias to my external disk-array... and then rebuilt the library and rebooted... still Front Row claims nothing there.
* It was mentioned in another posting on Apple (I believe) about looking at the Front Row 'library file' and deleting it and then let it get re-created by the software... nothing.
Anyhow I'd love to use Front Row but really frustrated as to why it wont reflect all the music I already have in iTunes! Any suggestions? I'm new to the Mac OS, but by far not a newbie to computers so feel free to ask any in-depth questions which might help... I just might also need the path on how to find the information being asked.
Again, my Macbook does list everything in Front Row from the iTunes library and from my limited knowledge the only difference is that my laptop is solely connected wirelessly and the Mac Mini is via RJ45... but I would be shocked if that played into this. Suggestions?
Hopefully this will also help others as I've asked many of my 'Mac friends' and they are also stumped as to why Front Row wont show what is in my library.
Message was edited by: DrDtroit1) No - downloaded a free song and it plays in iTunes, but claims nothing in Front Row. Also Front Row states there are no podcasts, even though I have at least 6 podcasts in iTunes all with a lot of content
2) I shared the Macbook library and I -can- view it with Front Row on the Mac Mini... so that worked.
2b) Front Row on the Macbook is able to work with not only my Macbook iTunes, but also loads the Mac Mini library and works with it. :/
2c) Switch source back to the Mac Mini, and nothing...
So is this as simple as a corrupt install or something? Seems something local to Front Row on the Mac Mini itself... -
How do I move my music list from one external to another?
As per my post a couple of minutes ago, I do not want to run the risk of Itunes deleting all my Ipod files again.
I have put all my files onto an external hard drive. I was up until 4am this morning removing duplications in the music list. I never want to do that again.
Here is what I would like to do: the external HD is labeled as drive E under "preferences"; it is a drive that requires ac. I have copied all the files to a USB 60 gig drive. The USB drive shows up as drive F so Itunes would not be able to find the files. The last time that happened (i.e., 2 days ago), it erased all my Ipod files.
How can I make Itunes find all the files on the USB drive? If I can get that to happen I can always have the files with me.
Thanks for help,
ChuckNote: Canned response, so may not specifically address your questions, but may be enough for you to figure out what you want to do...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)
You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone. -
I want to put all my music onto an external hard drive. But I can't get it to put music on my itunes. The music list is completely empty and so is my IPOD. How do I do this? I have a PC with Windows.
You say the music is not on the external HD, the music list (iTunes?) is empty, and it is not on the iPOd. Then where is the music you want to move to the external HD?

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
When i transfer a song from my itunes library to ipod nano it says "cannot syn 13019" it appears to transfer song to the music list on ipod but when you disconnect from the computer the songs aren't on the ipod
No, I can't use a charger - I need to recharge the iPod off the computer. (I'm often charging it while traveling with no access to a wall plug).
What you describe in your situation is completely different from what I'm talking about: You have iTunes on and you are syncing the iPod, and then you eject it from within iTunes. What I'm talking about is NEVER having iTunes on, and just plugging the iPod into the USB port and just recharging it, nothing else.
My goal: I want to be able to plug in, recharge, and unplug the iPod without ever touching the mouse or the keyboard or interacting with the computer at all.
I 100% know this is possible because that is the setup I've had for months, and it worked fine. But when I recently updated to iPod software version 1.2, some setting was changed and I can't figure out what. I know it is very simple, the solution, but I've forgotten how I did it in the first place. -
How can I have podcasts and music in the same playlist in iOS7?
How can I create an iTunes playlist that contains both music and podcasts and export that playlist to my iPhone? This was once possible. If you download the "Podcast" app, podcasts can still be added to iTunes playlist which you can listen to on your Mac. But when you sync that playlist to iPhone, it will omit all of the podcasts.
Previously, the workaround was not to download the Pocast app. That way, podcasts remained in iTunes where they could still exist in with music in the same playlist. But as of iOS7, you are required to install the "Podcasts" to be able listen to podcast at all. No more workaround.
Why does this matter? Some people, like me want to drive or exercise while listening to a mix of music and podcasts. Apple's "improvements" have restricted the way that I am able to use iTunes.
I can only think of these solutions:
Convert the podcast into AAC or other format. Then iTunes sees it as "music" and it will stay in the playlist. Cons: 1. Burdensome. 2. Removes the resume feature from the podcast.
Use a different iPhone app. Spotify lets you drag any track (even podcasts) into a playlist and they stay there when synced to the Spotify iPhone app. Cons: 1. Requires Spotify premium service to listen to playlists on iPhone. 2. The resume feature is removed. 3. Very difficult to forward and rewind. 4. Some podcasts are rejected by the Spotify playlist, although its rare. 5. After being imported, the tracked need to be synced to the phone via WiFi (as with all tracks that are not offered via Spotify.)
I am using the Spotify solution but am interested to know if there is an Apple solution. Or maybe I am the only one that wants to mix podcasts with music.How can I create an iTunes playlist that contains both music and podcasts and export that playlist to my iPhone?
