Possible script to do this? wake up ipod to download podcast

Hello, Does anyone have an idea for this?
I use my mac to charge the ipod. I dont use disk mode.
I plug my ipod in it syncs and unmounts itself.. as I sleep overnight it charges.
As I have slept overnight 4 new podcast have been downloaded.
When I unhook the Ipod in the morining to leave I dont have those 4 new podcast.
Is there a script that will somehow remount the ipod thats already connected via the usb port (but unmounted and charging) and then sync those 4 podcast.
That be a alot easier then unlugging it and plugging it back in and then waiting for it to sync when im runnign out the door.
Thanks allot

If it's mounted then you can use the File -> Update Ipod menu item instead of having to plug and unplug. You may have to turn one of the ipod options to manual update in the prefs to keep it from disconnecting automatically.
There's Applescript commands for updating podcasts as well as updating the ipod. You should be able to script it to do the update in the morning

    I am regularly getting a message "...cannot be played on this iPad" when trying to download podcasts while using a strong wifi connection. 
    I accidently deleted an episode that I wanted to save to listen to again and went to redownload it and got the message so the file and/or publisher aren't the issue.
    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me get my iPad to function correctly!

    I am getting the same issue!! I have found it only seems to do it on podcasts with explicit content like idiot abroad or frankie Boyle.

    The script will run without any intervention necessary, and "silently" for the most part, especially if you save it as an application.
    It will do nothing right if the iPod is not mounted.

    Got this and thought? I don't have any of these. It shows up every day. How do I figure out how to stop it?

  • Ipod nano not downloading podcasts

    My ipod was downloading podcasts no problem, but since the last updater it is still downloading cd's but for some reason is not downloading any of my selected podcasts. the podcasts are showing in my library. thx

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There has been another updater since this post. Have you installed that?
    Also, connect your iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Click the podcasts tab under that. Make sure it is set to automatically update all podcasts (onto the iPod). Click OK.
    See if it works now.

  • I just bought the new ipod touch, but when I try to sync it I get told to use the cloud and download from there.  How do I sync it to my itunes so that I get all my songs without going through cloud? Otherwise if this isn't possible I am taking this back!

  • HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Hello tt2
    Been using your Syncstats, working magically.
    However though, when I try to sync the stats of all songs at once - if one song poses a problem - everything stops.
    Is there a way around this?
    Rather than: click "no" (in order to manually sync songs one by one)??
    By the way - this pops up:
    Line: 136. Char:53
    A0040203
    Lines 136 & 137 deal with updating the Last Played and Last Skipped values. I initially suspected the error could be being caused by null values in one of the fields which I didn't encounter in testing, however the same values are accessed previously in lines 129 & 131. Ideally I'd work out exactly what causes the error so I can test for the problem issue rather than throw the error, handle those circumstances in the most sensible way given the aim of the script, and continue to process non-error causing values as is.
    The quick alternative is to ignore the error by placing an On Error Resume Next statement before the possibly probablematic code, and an On Error Goto 0 statement after it to resume normal error handling. I.e.
    On Error Resume Next
    {Ignore errors in this block}
    On Error Goto 0
    Not always a good idea but in this case I suspect "Do nothing" would be the appropiate action in those cases that currently cause an error so I've made that change and posted up the new build of SyncStats. Let me know how you get on.

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

  • Is it possible to take songs off of your ipod and put it them on itunes

    by accident i permanately deleted all my songs off my computer and cant get them back ,,,trust me i tried everything. im wondering is possible to take songs from your ipod and put them on your itunees library?

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    There's a command in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" you can check out. A paragraph on it has also been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not work with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then check the "Manually manage songs" box.
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

    As a clarification, you can have up to 5 devices with iTunes.
    Sorry, this is incorrect.  The limit of 5 relates to the number of computers you can authorize to use iTunes, NOT the number of iOS devices you can sync with a single iTunes library.  You can sync as many iOS devices as you like to iTunes.  See whitewater2's post below... he is syncing at least 6 iOS devices with the same iTunes library.

    Hi jackhowson,
    As Micromen said, you can rate songs directly on your iPod Touch.
    However with videos, currently you can't! You'll have to rate them on your computer. If you would like to ask Apple this feature, click [Name|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html] and fill out the form.
