Podcasts synced do not show up on iPod

It's very strange, because podcasts downloaded on iTunes can be found on my iPod under Albums and Artistes, but not under the Podcast category. Same for video podcasts. Anyone has any idea why this is so?
Please help! Thanks.

I'm having the same problem and have tried everything!

I cant sync my tv shows to my ipod

i cant seem to sync my tv shows to my ipod ples help

This isn't a podcasting question, and as I don't have either device I can't offer you advice. Could I refer you to the iPhone forum.

I can't sync a TV show to my ipod touch

I can't sync a tv show to my ipod touch. I checked all the settings, and tried to manually drag the show to my ipod but still nothing. A message box keeps popping up saying," "Magic Bullet" was not copied to the ipod "Bee's" because it cannot by played on this iPod." Any help is appreciated.

This is what it says. You don't have to convert it.
All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.
If this doesn't work, I don't know what the problem is. You could try deleting from iTunes and re-downloading the item from the store. (in iTunes: STORE > Purchased > Download Previous Purchases.)

Podcast home page not showing all podcasts

Hello fellow podcasters!
I've successfully created a podcast, but am now in a bit of a jam. See, the home page of my podcast is now not showing all my podcasts.
Click here for my podcast:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=277495620
Now, I'm not sure if the home page only shows the most recent ones (If so, how do they define, "most recent"?) and moreover, if it only shows the most recent ones, how do I change it so it shows ALL of the podcasts created?
Appreciate any help you can provide me.
Sincerely,
Dennis Chin

iTunes Store shows the number of podcasts that are listed in the XML file. Some podcast-making programs and online services which create the XML file for you limit the number of episodes in the XML file - usually there is a setting somewhere to adjust this.

Podcast image is not showing during testing.

I subscribed to my podcast feed to test it in iTunes before submitting to the iTunes store. All is working well except the podcast image is not showing. What do I need to do to get the image to show?

The image is located here: http://www.lhfcaz.org/images/itunesimage.jpg
Thanks,
Wayne

The image which appears on the Store page is referenced in the feed: but the image which appears when you subscribe (either manually or from the Store page) is not - it is embedded in each episode's media file. This page explains the situation and what to do about it:

Video podcasts not showing up on iPod

Since the recent update of my iPod, my video podcasts are not syncing to my iPod. When I sync with iTunes, I have all the podcasts (both audio and video) selected to sync but only the audio podcasts are available to me via my iPod. What's going on here?

OK, so there they are in a new place. Would have been courteous for Apple to give some clue that they were moving things around. Especially because the video podcasts still show up in iTunes in the same place as the audio podcasts, same as before. Thanks for tip, lllaass.

Synced videos do not show up on iPod

Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
This is a fairly new problem. All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them. Searching for them yields no results.
The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition. Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail. I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device. I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date. The iPod software is up to date. I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod. I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos". Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
Thanks for all your help!

Have you checked the video section on the iPod? Videos must be played from the video section otherwise all you get is sound.

I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

Podcasts not showing up on ipod...

So I have some video podcasts that have been downloaded successfully and currently reside in my Library under "podcasts." They all work. For some reason however, on my ipod, they do not show up. I look under videos > video podcasts: nothing. I look under Podcasts in the main menu, and nothing. I tried clicking on the settings tab in the podcast window in itunes, but those settings dont seem to affect what goes onto my ipod...so what's going on?

ah thank you...ive checked that spot before and for some reason i assumed that box was checked..i dunno, but thank you

Artwork Not Showing Up on iPod but iTunes

I have the newest version of iTunes, and all of the artwork to albums I have added after the upgrade shows up in iTunes, but not physically on my iPod, what can I do?

click on your iPod in source, click the music tab and put a check in "display album artwork on iPod". If it's already selected, deselect it and hit apply. Then recheck it hit apply again. Then sync your iPod again.

Audiobooks not showing up in iPod tab when searching

So, I have this problem with some audiobooks. If I connect my 5th generation iPod 60GB to iTunes, it shows up as normal. I then select the iPod, and I try to search on a specific artist (Or writer if you will) in the search field on the right. But, most of my audiobooks artist does not show up, so I can select them single handedly.
I have some older audiobooks that shows up just fine, but not all the newer ones.
If I select to sync my entire Audiobook collection, or create playlists and throw the seperate audiobooks in there, they sync just fine.
I would just like to be able to select an artist in the search field and get it to sync though. Of course all of audiobooks are marked correctly with tags and mediatype.
Any thoughts?

I think this has been covered in several posts (search under "audiobooks"). Basically, even the stuff you download from iTunes Store is not always formatted correctly for your iPod to place in the correct spot.
Downloaded books show up in iTunes under Audiobooks, but not on your iPod under the same. Close iTunes. From windows explorer, find the audiobook in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder and change the extension on the file from .m4p or .m4a to .m4b and then relaunch iTunes. Find the audiobook and play it for a few seconds so iTunes properly recognizes the file. Make sure that it is listed under the genre "Audiobooks" - if that genre is not available, pick custom and create it. Right-click the file and pick info, then options and make sure that the buttons for replaying from last position and skipping during mix play are selected. Re-synch and it should show up on your iPod under Music->Audiobooks.
Books that you import from CDs have to be manually configured to show up as Audiobooks - again, details can be found by searching these forums.

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.

It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

Songs not showing up in iPod...

Hello, I was hoping I could get some help here.
I dowlnoaded 3 new songs to itunes (from a folder on my computer; I used File>Add Folder to Library) but for some reason they do not show up on my ipod. The songs are in mp3 format, so I do not think I need to convert them. Usually, syncing the ipod in itunes helps, but the little bar that is supposed to show up on top when your ipod is syncing...doesn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated

bywybabs,
I don't know what kind of computer you have. If you have a Window's PC it's possible it added the files to your folder "Music" "iTunes" "iTunes Music". If you are able to view the files in your "Music Folder" and they are not in your iTunes Library when you open iTunes. Then find the songs in your "Music" folder and double left click on each song. It should automatically import them into iTunes. I'm not sure why add folder to library did not work.

Artists not showing up in iPod unless it's connected to computer

My video iPod, whether synced or not with my Mac, refuses to show certain artists when it's not plugged into the computer.
For instance, if I put a Bob Dylan CD into iTunes, then update my iPod (either by having it synched or else by manually dragging it over), it will show up in the iPod when I look at the iPod contents on the computer, in iTunes, but when I unhook the iPod and go to Artists, suddenly there won't be a Bob Dylan (or a Dylan, Bob) at all. I can get to the music if I go to Album, but the iPod refuses to show me the artist, even though I know the music is there.
The Get Info has all the right information in the right categories, the iPod says it has all the artists on there when it's in iTunes, but when not actually plugged into the computer and viewed through iTunes, the iPod will refuse to show me certain artists, like they don't exist. Even though the music is there.
Why?
Thanks!

Two things might contribute to this especially since iTunes shows things a bit different than how the iPod will show it when not connected to iTunes...
One is that some songs might be tagged as Part Of A Compilation (see the Get Info on those songs/albums) in which case they will not show up under the artist.
Second, is that an artist needs at least two different Albums identified for their songs to all list under the artist. In other words, if you import a CD with album name then add a handful of misc songs without album names associated, those handful will not show up under the artist name.
But add an album name to at least one of those handful of misc. songs and then ALL of the songs should show up under the artist.
You don't have to do it for all of them, just enough to have two different albums identified with the artist. But in general, it is a good idea to make sure your tunes have Song name, artist name, and album name associated with them as a minimum.
