Podcasts Won't Load - I've Registered 15 Times - My iPod is Insane - Help!

I got a nano for Christmas and it's beautiful and I love it...but it appears to be every bit as insane as the shuffle it replaced and I need some help.
Whenever I plug it in it makes me register. I've registered many many times now.
I managed to load three episodes of several different podcasts (Democracy Now!, e.g.) and now that's all I get. Any attempts to sync or (in the manual mode) drag and drop new episodes are completely useless. How do I get new episodes of podcasts onto my nano?
I also have a problem where I've dragged over some video podcasts of Democracy Now! After the "drag" I got a message saying that my nano was syncing and that I shouldn't disconnect and then I watched for several seconds as the progress bar tracked the loading of the video. When I later disconnected and went looking for the videos, they don't appear anywhere. They're not under podcasts, music, movies, videos, etc. I've looked through every menu option. They're completely missing in action. When I tried to drag them onto the iPod again they simply won't load. It does nothing. I drag, drop, and that's it...done...no syncing, no anything.
Is my nano broken, or is one of us insane (I'm pretty sure it's the nano, but...)
Thanks in advance to anyone clever and patient enough to help me out.

I am in a similar boat and can't seem to find an answer searching through discussions. About 3 months ago one of my podcasts NPR: This American Life started acting all strange on my iPod. I had it all set correctly and worked fine for nearly a year. Then the podcast episodes wouldn't automatically load onto my video iPod. They are not in my Podcast section on the iPod. On iTunes it works fine - no problems. When I try to transfer the podcasts over manually in their NPR: TML folder it shows it transferring but when I disconnect they are not there. If anyone knows or has an idea please post. I have made a Playlist for this podcast but episodes mysteriously disappear after a week or so with no consistency. Weird! Thanks.

    You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

    I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

  • My podcasts won't download from the computer to my ipod touch all of a sudden!

    All of a sudden my podcasts won't download from the computer to the ipod touch anymore.  It still downloads changes in music and apps, but it just seems to be podcasts.  Can anybody help me diagnose my problem?

    If they are video podcasts, they now appear in the Video app after iOS 5.

  • Itunes won't load after purchasing Quick time Pro

    I purchased QuickTime Pro and now my itunes won't load. My version is 7.6.9. I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes. I have tried this repeatedly but no luck. any suggestions?

    I keep getting message that reads I have an older version installed of Quick Time and that I need to uninstall itunes.
    That suggests that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has stashed old QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • My iPhoto won't load my thousands of photos! Will an upgrade help? Do I need to uninstall then reinstall iPhoto?

    It just keeps "thinking". It won't load anything. I cannot back up my iphone photos because iphoto will never open.
    What do I do? I have a backup of my iphoto library but I am not very technology savy.
    I went to the genius bar and the guy was so rude I had to leave after the hour and a half of waiting and listening to him cut off my questions.
    Please help!!! I love my photos and my music more than anything on this computer!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto launches?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • Firefox won't load hotmail at random times in the day.

    I am currently on the beta version but I had the same problem with the normal version of Firefox as well. The problem is this, my hotmail account loading up is very sporadic. Sometimes it will work on Firefox and other times it won't, yet if I use IE it works fine all the time. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problems or even similar circumstances.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Podcast won't load

    I apologize if this has already been addressed, I couldn't find anything.
    I have created a podcast at:
    http://www.thecreationshop.com/category/blog
    and built my first enhanced podcast with GarageBand. I believe I have done everything right because the m4a file plays fine in iTunes but when someone subscribes to the podcast, the file downloads and then disappears. It's as if it never downloaded at all. When I click on the "!" I get the iTunes can't play the file or it is corrupt. I know that isn't the case. I have uploaded the file several times as well as downloaded it directly from:
    http://www.thecreationshop.com/podcast/Blogging101.m4a
    and nothing!! I know I'm a newbie, but it shouldn't be this hard, should it? I can only believe I must have dome something wrong. Please help!
    In advance... Thank You!!

    BrentSpore,
    Welcome to Discussions,
    I don't have a solution for your problem, but did you take a look in the Producing Podcasts forum?
    Posting there will probably give you an accurate answer or you might find one by searching the that forum.

  • Firefox won't load or slow every time since 18 update I have all necessary cleaning done--just don't open right now

    Lately Firefox does not load on my Vista--especially since update 18 happened. It shows that Firefox is running in the task manager but the page doesn't come up. This is every time I try to start the browser.
    It runs once I can get it to come up--but it never ever comes up the first time without going into task manager and finding the file it is in and starting it there as "administrator". This is very very annoying--before I uninstall and change browser back to Chrome which has its own issues--perhaps you can enlighten me as to how to fix this problem--it needs a patch? Don't tell me to dump history cookies etc. This I have already tried and it doesn't do anything--the problem persists. Any solutions for me? Thanks
    Lr

    I have 5 different Win7 64-bit installations. As soon as i upgraded to FF18...EVERY single systems browser experience slows to a crawl. CPU and memory spike beyond control. In fact I have to use Chrome to browse. This is so incredibly unacceptable. My entire family is soooo frustrated. They have reverted to IE, and i provided each device with a fresh install of Chrome, no issues whatsoever.
    As for suggestions here, I have no intention of following any of these lame instructions to check anti-virus, video card switching, or resetting FF to defaults which will cause loss of some of the personalization.
    Its a bloody shame. Farewell FF. Enjoy your poorly QA'ed release....!!!

  • Z10 Remember app won't load most of the time on 10.1.0.200​6

    I just upgraded to 10.1 and the Remember app mostly doesn't work. I opened the app at 6:13 and it greeted me with the spinning circle "wait" graphic. It's now 6:22 and it's still doing that.  One of the reasons I stuck with Blackberry is the epic fail of Evernote and the times I've written something important in Evernote only to get a "memo updated externally" message from evernote that wipes extremely important text, measurements, etc....   However, Remember is sorely lacking too, and not as good as the separated tasks and memos in the previous instances, and it needs to load pronto. 
    Is there any other alternative since Remember doesn't work any more?
    I just did kill Remember after 8 minutes of the stuck wait indicator and now it came up after reloading it. But it seems that off a fresh reboot, Remember can't come up on it's own successfully, ever.  I don't want to bang on Blackberry and ask if they test or we're all the guineapigs, but come on, as a user I shouldn't be able to list 40 bugs in 5 minutes, and more if you push it and give me more time.  The old OS was never like that since I started using BB in 2006.

    *Resolved.*
    On the previous day I was trying to fix my soundcard somehow, inside the laptop. It looks that some cable makes no good connection after that. I think it was the display cable.
    Now the laptop works. I can get more successfull turn-ons now.

  • ITunes music or podcasts won't load

    I can't download my iTunes content.
    It shows up in iTunes but will not load into my iPod.

    Hi John,
    I have the same trouble. So I did a lot of stuff: deleting re-installing iTunes, deleting SC Info repertory, creating another administrator account, creating another iTunes account (to try to buy songs) ... and all of these hasn't fixed the problem:
    I can open a session, but
    - I can't buy new songs
    - I can't "autorized" iTunes on my computer
    - I can't read anylonger my very old DRM files (Fairplay2).
    Any suggestions or help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I find FF3.610 works well when first opened. However, if I leave the PC on and unused for a while FF won't load. The hour timer shows then dissappears. At the same time I'm not able to open the volume control. Restarting sorts the problem.

    I am working a PC with Windows XP SP3
    I checked the site to read the advice to switch off Skype 4 if installed. It was, I did. No change.
    If I Ctrl+Alt+Del I don't see Firefox listed but when I finally switch off I get a "Firefox is not responding" notice.

    Dankeschon !

  • IDVD 08 won't load or open... WHY? please help!

    I've tried everything I read on the forums and nothing had worked. I have r=trashed idvd themes 1-4 and the preference file from the harddrive and still nothing. I click on iDVD and the opening window comes up, I can choose any of the options and then it will "Load Themes" for endless amounts of time. I've even left it on or hours and it won't quit, load, give error message, nothing! It will just load themes forever. I can click the file menu and everything will be unavailable (grey), even the Quit option so then all I can do is force quit. Please help. I haven't reset permissions because I don't know what that mean and don't want to mess up my machine.
    Anyone with help or who has experienced the same problem please, I really need to get this working.
    Thanks a lot!
    Lizzy

    Don't know if this will help but I bought iLife 08 when it first came out and couldn't load it properly. Tried the usual fixes listed here on the forum but tonight I got it to finally load correctly. I followed the Apple fix from late last fall by deleting the iDVD themes 1-4 from the hard drive under Library/Application Support/iDVD themes/DVD 1,2,3 & 4. Then deleted from my home directory Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes and also Library/Caches/com.apple.idvd. I tried to open iDVD 08 as instructed but just got the themes loading and nothing. Rather than trying to re-install themes 1-4 from the 08 install disc, I quit iDVD and I went to Software update to re-install the old themes and get the updated fix. It took about an hour but after restarting when the update was completed, voila . . iDVD 08 came up perfectly. Hope this may help if all else fails.

  • Mac won't load, No bootable device, Keyboard not working nothing! help!

    Hello! I need some help here....
    I tried to bootcamp my Mac so I can run windows 7 and Mac OS X together
    Followed instructions... Put the USB boot drive in..
    Didn't recognice Drivers so I decided to start again and cancelled. (my mistake obviously!)
    Now it is saying No Bootable Device - Press any key to continue, the keyboard will not work, it won't do anything! help!

  • I have run bootcamp, and installed windows 7. I love it but, the reason I installed it is to play games not compatible with a mac. When using windows it lets me install my games but won't load them when I want to play them. Help"

    Will my games work on my computer? and how?

    Like the hatter says give us some info upon which to base a response.
    I have 3 Boot Camp installs on three different laptops (2006 MacBook-Win XP, 2008 MacBook Pro-Win Vista, 2010 MacBook Pro Win 7).
    I am an FPS gamer and have to know the limitations of the hardware when it comes to being able to play what I wish. I can play only old games (pre 2004) on the XP machine and more recent games on the Vista machine. But to play the newest games I need the Win 7 machine and it even has to be set at less than the higher settings.
    My question to you is what Mac are you using and does it match the minimal system requirements stated on the box or in the manual. If the hardware specs can not be met then it will not load as has been my experience.

  • ITunes won't load all my songs onto my iPod Nano since update.

    Ugh. Before the update I had no issues updating my iPod and now it won't update all my songs because it says my machine is not authorized to play them? What does this mean? Some of these songs I purchased on iTunes and other were songs I have from my Cds? And it also says I have 4 other machines operating on iTunes? I am not sure how this happened? I have restored my iPod and I am still getting the same message. This is so frustrating! This is why I dread updating. Please help!
