"podcasts" option totally disappeared from my ipod.

The option of "podcast" (the first menu where you choose music, pictures, etc.) completely disappeared from my ipod nano. Any suggestions on how to get it back?

Do you have any podcasts synced to your Nano? Have you checked to make sure it wasn't disabled in settings? (This may not be the case depending on the age of your Nano). What generation is your nano?

If i sync my ipod to my current apple id, will i the songs i got from a different apple id disappear from the ipod completely or will it just have all the names and details and grey?

Hello!
So basically, I got a lot of the songs on my iPod from a different Apple ID than to the one I am currently using. I want to sync my iPod to the Apple ID I am currently using but I want to know if the songs on my iPod from the previous Apple ID will disappear off of the iPod or go all grey so that I cant select them? I know that Apple says that it will delete the songs from my old Apple ID but what I noticed is that when I've deleted songs from my iPod using iTunes in the past is that they don't disappear from the iPod, they stay there but the names go grey so that I cant select them. Basically I want to know which will happen. Sorry if this is a bit confusing...
Thanks!

Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library". I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes. I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

You'll need to switch off iTunes Match on the device & sync the iPod with iTunes as hopefully you've kept all your music on your PC.

Thats weird...try a restore in iTunes.

How do I delete some podcast and TV shows from my ipod?

Im having trouble freeing up some space on my ipod so that I can download more TV shows on it. How do I delete the old stuff?

I use automatic sync, but only checked songs/podcasts. When I had a Classic 160, I synced everything, because I had the space. Either way, my podcasts would be removed from the iPod after I had listened to them, but I don't know if TV shows do that too. If not, you can always uncheck them in iTunes after you are done, and they will be off the iPod, but still in iTunes. You can also manually sync. Instructions for both are in the manual, which you can download here.
By the way, I haven't used my Nano 6th gen for TV, but I've heard it doesn't support video. I know that my video podcasts don't work. Are you using an older Nano?

Video menu option is missing from my iPod menu.

I purchased a 60gb photo ipod approximately two weeks before the video release. When the video release software was available I downloaded it and the "video" option appeared on my iPod menu. A few weeks later I ordered my first videos from Itunes. After downloading the videos and updating my iPod, I found the video menu option was gone from my iPod. I have reset my ipod, deleted and installed new software, used the updater and have never been able to get the "video" menu option to show up again on my iPod. I can view the video in itunes but I can't get it onto my iPod. I just downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software today and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, were you able to fix it? I love the iPod and would like it a lot more if the video function worked for me. Thx for the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You need to have the 5G iPod with video for videos to transfer.
Which iPod Do You Have?
If you do not have a 5G iPod, you cannot view videos with the apple software, regardless of what you say the iPod used to show...

All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch

All my contacts disappeared from my iPod Touch!
I was not syncing, I don't use the Cloud, I was just checking if i had any messages on Viber...
All of a sudden, Viber didn't display any names any more, so I checked my contacts, and it just displays that my contacts are empty...
Is there any way of getting them back?
Thx for your answers!!

Restore from backup. See the restoring topic of:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

Tracks disappear from my iPod when I change them to Media Kind: Podcast from Media Kind: Music

Hello. I'm running iTunes 11.0.1(12) in OSX 10.6.8. My iPod is a 160 Gb Classic (model A1238, I believe it's the newest generation, I got it about 6 or 7 months ago.) I manually manage my ipod, always.
I listen to one podcast in particular with hundreds and hundreds of episodes that I like to keep listed as MEDIA KIND: MUSIC in my itunes library, but MEDIA KIND: PODCAST on my ipod. I know this may seem odd to some people, but it is how I like to organize. So, I download the podcast through itunes, change it to music and then change it back to podcast after I load it to my ipod. When I switch the media kind back over on my ipod (music-to-podcast,) the files disappear, no longer visible on my ipod through itunes (in podcasts or music.) The only way I can find them is to do a manual search on the actual ipod (not ideal.) The ipod is also at capacity, so I need to be able to delete these files, as needed, in order to clear space. So, my question is, how do I find them again in itunes, or is there another way to delete them without restoring the ipod. I manage music a lot differently on my ipod than I do itunes, so restoring it and reorganizing everything is a tedious task, that I'd rather avoid.
I realize that the way I do things is unorthodox, but I fail to see why itunes can't manage something that seems as simple as switching the media kind back and forth. I had this problem with my old 160gb ipod classic and older versions of itunes, but I thought that this bug would be fixed by now with itunes 11.
Thank you.

iTunes is looking for your music in the default directory. Since everything was moved, re-direct it with the instructions I gave you:
In iTunes, click tools, and then preferences, then go to the advanced tab.
If you know where the music is on the E: drive, select it from the iTunes media folder location option.
It will reload all of the music to your iTunes - You can then select what music you want to add to your iPod.

My music and videos disappeared from my iPod touch!!! :(

I just realized today that I've lost all my music and videos (movies, podcasts, etc.) from my iPod! I haven't connected it to our computer in quite a while, I've just been charging it with a wall-plug.
I did go onto wireless internet at the airport last week, but I don't know if that would have corrupted it?
The problem is, I can't re-load all the music and videos back onto my iPod, because the USB ports on my laptop aren't working, and that's where my iTunes are... Is there another way to transfer my iTunes content to somebody else's computer? Burning my songs on CD's isn't an option - i have 1500 songs, and I've been able to fit about 20 on a CD....
HELP please!!!

yes, same here.. my apps are still there, but music and videos are gone...
please, can anybody help?? i can't put the music back onto my iPod, because my usb ports aren't working... what can i do???

[Q] Podcasts not automatically removed from my iPod

If I go to Devices->Eric Gorr's iPod->Podcasts, I have the Sync checkbox checked and 'all unplayed' selected in the menu.
If I view the podcasts on my ipod, I can see in the 'Play Count' column that there are many podcasts with a play count of >= 1.
If I sync my iPod, those podcasts with a play count of >= 1 are not removed from my iPod.
I believe this is possible, but it does not seem to be working.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using iTunes 7.7 (43)

The most likely culprit is a playlist that's getting synced to your iPod.
The big change in this area in 7.7 is that all podcasts, even ones in playlists, appear in the iPod's Podcasts section. Before 7.7 the only episodes that appeared in the Podcasts section were ones that you synced in the Podcasts tab.
The interesting thing is that this change affects only what shows up in the iPod's Podcasts section, it doesn't affect the files that are actually transferred to the iPod.
To check this, find one of the episodes with the play count >= 1 in your iTunes library. Right click (or control click) the episode, and in the contextual menu go to Show In Playlist. See what playlists appear in that list. (Show In Playlist is right under Add To Playlist. If I'm wrong, Show In Playlist won't be there at all.)

My "Podcasts" Tab has disappeared from my phone (iTunes 11.0.4)?

As you can see here, my "Podcasts" tab has mysteriously disappeared from my device. I've checked the other tabs but it's nowhere to be found.
I want to switch out some played podcast episodes with some unplayed episodes but it won't let me to that. What do I need to do?

command-5 (or go to Windows>Effects)

"podcasts" option totally disappeared from my ipod.
