Podcasts not synching

Hi all
I have downloaded a couple of podcast videos from itunes store and get the following message:
'Some of the videos in your itunes library were not copied to the ipod "Pauls ipod" because they cannot be played on this ipod"
I have checked all the sync settings and think all is correct. I would assume that any podcasts downloaded from the itunes store would work on a new ipod, but hey I suppose you should never assume anything these days!!
Would appreciate any ideas.
All the best
Paul

What type of iPod do you have?
If you have any other model of iPod, like an iPod nano for example, you will not be able to play videos on it.
Only the Fifth Generation iPod models are able to play videos (this includes Music Videos, Movies, or video podcasts).
To determine what type of iPod you have, see this: Identifying different iPod models

Podcasts not synch'ing.

Has anyone come across this problem before?
Basically I have a few podcasts with many episodes that are downloaded via iTunes and I generally keep them forever. For a couple of them a number of episodes will not synch to the ipod. I am running iTunes 7.02 on a PC with a Photo iPod. The episodes are present and correct in terms of windows files, and iTunes - I can play them on the PC.
I have tried resetting the iPod to factory defaults and re-synching the entire library and also deleting the episodes and re-downloading from iTunes but nothing works..
Any ideas?

I'm also experiencing this same problem. Updated podcasts are on my PC in iTunes but cannot seem to get them to update like they "used to" on my iPod. Can't seem to find a resolution to this problem despite resetting the iPod, reinstalling all my software/downloads, etc.

Podcasts not synching properly

I have an iPod mini on which I play podcasts. I have followed the directions on the apple support site for making a smart playlist on which podcasts will stream one after another, and then be deleted from the list after being played. (In the smart playlist menu I check "Podcast" "is true" "+" "Playcount" "=0") Although the podcasts will be marked as played in the podcast listing (the blue dot next to the played podcast disappears), the played podcasts remain on my streaming smart playlist after synching. Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much.

I think this is an iTunes question, not an iPod Mini question. I have used a playlist like this through several versions of iTunes, so there's hope
The second condition in your smart playlist shows in 8.0.1 as "Play Count" "is" 0, right? Did you verify that the "Live updating" box is checked?
If you're looking at the playlist as shown on the Mini, have you tried syncing again? (I've noticed that with iTunes 7.7 onward there's a bug in updating podcasts on my Mini: I have to sync twice to get deleted podcasts to actually go away. This seems to have come along with the new feature that podcasts in playlists now also appear in the Podcasts section of the Mini. More precisely, the podcasts go away, but iTunes shows that the space is still in use. Sync again fixes it.)

New podcasts not synching to my iPhone or iPad

While the Podcasts that I had subscribed to in the past are still syncing, any new Podcast channels that I subscribe to are downloading to iTunes but do not sync to my iPad or iPhone. I have checked that:
the tick mark to the left of the podcast title is ticked
if I select the device in the left hand panel and go to the Podcast Tab, the Sync Podcasts is ticked (in fact other new podcasts being downloaded from the previously subscribed channels are downloading to my devices)
Automatically include All unplayed espisodes of all podcasts is selected
the effected podcasts are still shown as unplayed
I am using iTunes for Mac version 10.5 running on OSX 10.7.2.

Never received any reply from anyone on this issue and it is still outstanding. I have taken some other steps and still have no solution. I went to show the problem to one of the staff at the Genius Bar in our of the Apple stores. He was unable to find the problem. I have unsubscribed to all the podcasts and resubscribed and again it was only the ones to which I was already subscribed earlier that downloaded. I have also reinstalled iTunes. I could not de-install iTunes first as the system does not allow that.
The fact that the newly subscribed to podcasts do download to my Mac but then do not sync both to the iPhone nor to the iPad would seem to indicate the problem is either a 5.0.1 problem or an iTunes problem.
I have run out of things to try. Any help would be appreciated.

HT3281 Podcasts NOT Synching with iPod!!!!!!!!!

I just spent 4 hours downloading 720 podcasts for a trip and I have tried all the suggestions for getting the Podcast app on my iPod to sync up with no success. Any suggestions???????? Yes I have the latest app....

My ipod is now operating on iOS 6.1.3 and I still cannot get the podcasts in iTunes to show up on my ipod. This is beyond aggrevating! I have selected that all podcasts synch in both iTunes and the ipod.

ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

ITunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

Started getting an error message during iPhone synch about two weeks ago: "iTunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected"
- Am synching to my Outlook calendar on a system running Windows 7
- Everything else (contacts, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) synchs just fine
- Tried totally resetting the iPhone and restoring the firmware
- Tried deleting the backups, preferences and resetting synch history
- Tried forcing a rewrite/replacement of the calendar database using iTunes
Nothing sems to work...still get the same message about not synching the calendar due to the iPhone disconnecting, but of course, it really hasn't disconnected since I can get it to immediately synch anything else.
Any ideas out there? Thanks...

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

Ipod touch 3g not synching

iPod touch 3g not synching
About two weeks ago I downloaded some podcasts and connectedmy ipod touch to synch it.
I was asked to install an update for the ipod touch to4.3.2.
After downloading and updating, I started the synch. Whicheventually failed to synch any apps or music but did do films, TV progs,podcasts and photos?
I have tried numerous times now. Sometimes getting stuck inthe restore mode and have been unable to restore on my desktop pc. I managed torestore it on a laptop then try to synch it on the desktop again but keepgetting error messages.
Attempting to copy to the disc failed. An error occurredwhile reading from the disc.
Attempting to copy to the disc failed. An error occurredwhile writing to the disc.

I am running
Windows 7
iPod touch 3g 4.3.3 (8J2)
iTunes 10.2.2.14
I have uninstalled iTunes and all associated programs as inthe help pages, including manually removing remaining stuff and rebooting. Allas instructed.
I reinstalled iTunes. Same thing still happens.
Have been to the genius bar in store (about25 miles away)they tested the ipod, said that it appeared ok but exchanged it anyway.
BUT even with the new one, it does the same thing.
Have tried with all firewall, anti-virus etc turned off
So it must be something wrong on my pc but what??
Anyone have any ideas?

- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Have you tried another cable?
- Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
- However, the hotness may indicate a hardware problem like a bad battery. If the above does not resolve the problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphone 5 will not synch, itunes stops responding

I have had my iphone 5 for over a year. In the last month when I plug it in, itunes will freeze up and stop responding. I can not synch, add new music, new movies. I have to shut down itunes. This happens whether I plug in my iphone or my husband's iphone (both iphone 5's). Without an iphone plugged in, itunes will not freeze. My iPad air synchs just fine.
We have shut down the computer, we have tried numerous times. All software is up to date. Itunes is running 11.2.0.115. The iphones are running iOS 7.1.1. This was happening on iOS 7.1 but I don't believe it was happening before that update.
Any ideas?

Hi gt7473c,
It sounds like iTunes works fine until you connect your iPhones. The article below provides several tips that can resolve the issue including suggestions that will help isolate the issue to the iOS devices or computer.
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
Symptoms
In rare instances, iTunes may become unresponsive when connecting an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer. iTunes may become responsive again after you disconnect the device from the computer.
Resolution
Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Install any available software updates for your computer.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
Test with automatic syncing disabled.Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
Check your device for podcasts. If there are any podcasts, manually delete all podcast episodes from the device by sliding your finger across the podcast episode's name and tapping Delete. Once all podcasts are removed from your device, reconnect it to the computer, open iTunes, and test.
If possible, test to see if connecting your device to a different computer with the latest version of iTunes installed resolves the issue.
Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the following folder, based on your operating system:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Windows Vista or Windows 7: C:\Users\[username]\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (The "~" represents your Home folder)
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
If any files are in this folder, move them to the Desktop temporarily.
Open iTunes and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may leave these iTunes plug-ins removed. If you wish to re-use these iTunes plug-ins, consult the vendor for the iTunes plug-ins to see if any updates are available.
If the issue also occurs on a different computer:
If the issue does not occur on a different computer, or no other computer is available to try:

When plugging in ipod, itunes says it is not synched with this ipod...??

Greetings.
Here goes.
I recently had an issue with itunes library (also had a corrupt quicktime) and all my data was erased, I downloaded itunes again. I then located all the songs on my hard drive and dumped them back into my library. My ipod was unscathed. However, when I plug in my ipod I recieve the message that "this itunes is not synched with this ipod"...and the option to "erase and synch" (which I did). Note: I bought an external hard drive for my music files and redirected the ipod to this (F:). I am still recieving the message and the action to "erase and aynch". How can I remedy this?
Thanks

So you downloaded Video or Audio Podcast ?
Have you tried to view the Podcast on your PC or MAC ? Normally if it download it should Play ?

Podcast Cover Image & Recent Podcasts Not Appearing

I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get the Podcast Cover Image to appear on my client's iTunes podcast page both within iTunes and on Apple's iTunes website. When I'm subscribed to it, it does show up. What am I doing wrong?
Additionally I'm having a problem with my last 3 podcasts not appearing, and I can't figure out what happened there.
Below are links to the page on Apple site and the feed I'm using, but please let me know if I need to provide more. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/living-grace-lutheran-church/id348311926?mt=2
feed://livinggraceomaha.org/lg-sermonpodcasts.xml

Your feed is OK, except that most of your episodes do not have 'guid' tags, and your enclosure tags are missing the 'length' attribute which should show the file size in bytes. Neither of these is serious and they would not cause a problem.
The Store does go through slow patches sometimes: there have been numerous occasions when people have complained about not seeing updates for two or three weeks, and I'm afraid that you've probably just hit one of these. There isn't really anything you can do about it. You could try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com, but frankly you are likely to get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know). I'm afraid that it's just a question of waiting.

My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop

I've been trying to do this for a while, it shouldn't be too difficult i think.
All i want to do is synch all the content on my laptop with my Apple TV (and vice versa) so all the content including photos and home videos is the same on both my Apple TV and my laptop.
Some points:
There's enough hard drive space on both
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate on my laptop
The correct port exceptions have been added to Windows Firewall
I have purchases on both my laptop and Apple TV from the iTunes store
We're using a wireless network and it while it's possible to get them both cable wired, it would be a pain
Home networking is set up in iTunes on my laptop
I've set up my Apple TV to synch (not stream) with my account on my laptop
Both iTunes and Apple TV are up to date with their downloads
I think that's it - am i missing anything, or should this now just work?
Cheers
David

As per the question, really...
"My Apple TV (1st Gen) will not synch with iTunes on my Laptop"
There's no error messages
Only the films i've bought on my AppleTV appear on my AppleTV
It's been synching for over 4 hours and hasnt got past the first film and the progress bar is not moving

Blackberry calendar not synching with Outlook

Hi guys,
We did 2 upgrades and now some black calendar are not synching naymore with outlook.
Here's our setting
We had Blackberry Enterprise server professionnal 4.0.17 or something like that we upgraded to Blackberry server Express 5.0.3 MR 1 (Bundle 19) for Exchange server
we had Microsoft Exchange 2003 and we upgraded to 2010
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Version 14.1.218.15 with service pack installed Update Rollup 5 SP1 and Update Rollup 4-V2 SP1
The issue is with some Blackberry device when you add something to the Black Calendar it's not showing up into Outlook calendar.
I tried to removed every cical ligne into the services book and resend the service book from the blackberry server, had no luck
I tried these steps :
On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Calendar application.
Click the Menu button and click Options.
Set the Wireless Synchronization option to No.
Click the Menu button and click Save.
Set the Wireless Synchronization option to Yes.
Click the Menu button and click Save. Turning wireless calendar synchronization on and off will reset the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Create a calendar entry in Microsoft Outlook and verify that the entry wirelessly synchronizes to the BlackBerry smartphone.
no luck too..
I don't know where to look at now have you any hint or clues

Hello guys,
here's some new information I tried / double checked...
I make sure that Options > Advanced Options > Default Service > is set to Desktop no facebook or something else configured on the device
I'm thinking of doing this.
we can try a forced reload. Before proceeding you need to be
aware that these steps will erase the device calendar and load a fresh copy from the server. On the device open the Calendar > press menu > Select Options >
Type RSET (nothing will appear as you type) > Then when prompted select Yes to erase the device Calendar and load a fresh copy from the server.
this would really be my last option because our employees that are having the synch issue had added some important stuff into their calendar related to their job and this information is only available on the blackberry calendar...
thanks for any advice you have about this issue.

Ipod touch 4th gen not synching?

When I tried to synch my ipod it told me that there were 3 apps I could not synch to my ipod because they werent compatible. I have used these apps forever and they just started this. The apps were ibooks, tumblr, and aviary photo editor. I think it said something about my ipod being out of date or something so looked to see what version my itunes and ipod were and I noticed that my ipod and my itunes were not up to the most current version but every time I clicked update it said it was up to date. So i went on the site and downloaded it from there and somehow finally got my ipod up to (6.1.5) and my itunes to (11.1.3). But it still kept saying the apps could not synch to my ipod and meanwhile new songs that I downloaded on my ipod werent synching wither. Si I said screw those apps all I care about are my new songs synching so I deleted those apps. But now those new songs still arent synching and Ive noticed if I delete an app on my itunes or on the ipod they are translating over which leads me to assume the apps arent synching so maybe nothing is synching. However when I watch it synch it seems to go through the 6 synching stages (wait for synch to start, prepare to synch, determining apps to synch, determining tracks to synch, waiting for changes to be applied, and sometimes it will say finishing synch). But no matter what my new songs wont go on there and then since I deleted ibooks it keeps telling me I cant read books on my ipod now, i really dont care about reading books but either way it gives me a message that i either cant read them anymore or the app isnt compatible. Can someone help me make my itouch synch correctly please?
Sorry for the super long explanation.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Next try restoring from backup.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
Regarding apps, some apps have been updated and the updated apps require iOS 7. However, you should be able to redownload the last compatible version via the iPod. See:
'Last Compatible' Version of Apps for Users Running Legacy Versions of iOS - Mac Rumors

My Ipod touch will not synch all songs in my library - on my windows 8 laptop. Doesn't matter if the songs are checked or not - only some songs will synch to the IPOD. I have multiple devices and two accounts.

My IPOD touch will not synch all songs in my library. Library is on a windows 8 laptop. Checking the songs does not matter. I have multiple devices (ipod, IPhone 4 and 5, IPad 2) and two ITunes accounts.

All songs play on the laptop windows 8. The second Ipod touch we have - all songs synch to it and play.
But the first Ipod touch we bought - only half (or so) of the songs synch. So I assume there is an issue with the newer Ipod touch. The songs not synching are songs I added to the library from CD's.
