[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.)

  • Old podcasts not being removed from 2nd gen nano since iTunes 7.2

    I have been very annoyed lately that, since the iTunes 7.2 update, my nano keeps all old podcasts. I much prefer to not have the ones I have finished listening to continuing to update to my ipod. I do not want to delete all old podcasts from iTunes and am getting tired of having to manually delete the ones I have heard. Sometimes I have heard only half of one, and I don't like having to keep track of which is which. I have "synch all unplayed" selected under "ipod" on the syncing page in itunes. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? I already tried reseting (the thing does this on its own all the time anyway), and I reinstalled the software as well.

    Hello FrayedSo, Sorry to read your having a difficult time with your shuffle and podcasts.
    As you mentioned earlier this is your second shuffle and it is able to play songs you purchase or put onto it but it skips past the Podcasts.
    Are you playing these podcasts as part of a Playlist? or is this happening in shuffle mode?
    Some of the things you could do to possibly assist with troubleshooting your issue are below.
    Make sure to Consolidate your iTunes Library so all your information is backed up to your iTunes Music folder. You can do this by going to Advanced-Consolidate Library.
    To quote a part in Knowledge Base 30058
    "Playing Audiobooks and podcasts on iPod shuffle
    When iPod shuffle is set to shuffle songs it will play all the audio files on iPod shuffle that are not audiobooks. Podcasts of type .m4b or AAC will not play on iPod shuffle when it is in shuffle mode, which is the intended behavior, although a podcast of type .mp3 or .wav may play while in shuffle mode. To play an audiobook or podcast that is on iPod shuffle, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300558
    Another thing you could try. Create a new user account on your Windows System and download some podcasts and sync it to your shuffle and see if the same issue occurs.

  • Old podcast episodes automatically deleted from iPod

    Within the last couple of weeks, after I listen to certain podcasts, the episodes have been automatically removed from my iPod when I sync it with my Mac, but other old episodes remain. I don't have my iPod set up to do this. What should I do? Restore my iPod?

    I have described the proces once on this forum.
    In short: Disable automatic sync and enable manualy manage in itunes on yours ipod summary screen...
    It should look like this:

  • 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?

  • Attachments automatically removed from emails on IPad  the email

    When I receive emails the attachments are being automatically removed from the email on my IPad. I have LotusNotes Traveler for my work email. Any suggestions on what the problem is and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated

    When I set up an email account on the iPad 4 (6.1.3), it took my information and defaulted the setup as an IMAP account.  It had always been a POP account but there was no option now to set it up as a POP.  Those tabs at the top were gone.
    Before, I would receive the email in my inbox, read it and close it.  It would stay in my inbox until I deleted it.  Now, since it's an IMAP acount, as soon as I read my email on the PC (which downloads it from the server), it disappears from the iPad!  I couldn't find a way to change it back to a POP.
    This is how i solved it:
    1.  Delete the existing IMAP account
    2.  Add the same account but give it a bad password thereby preventing iOS setting it up as IMAP
    3.  At that point, it gave me the tabs where i could choose to set it us as POP.  I changed the 'Incoming Server' to the POP address, entered the correct password and saved it.  It verified the settings as POP and all is good with the world.  Now my emails don't disappear from the iPad after I read them on the PC.
    I'm not sure when or why the option for IMAP/POP disappeared from the initial setup screen & why it defaults to IMAP.  Maybe it's back in iOS7.. maybe i should update.
    (My email is a Cox account and I guess it can be either an IMAP or POP)

    I can't delete events recurring annually...not part of birthday calendar, these are events I've added manually.  I've tried delete key, cut event, changing to no recurrence, they just revert to original recurrence and will not be removed from my calendar.  Events that occur weekly I'm able to delete, this is only happening with events recurring annually.  Very frustrating.  Thanks for any ideas.

    If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad.  But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software.  I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there.  If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

  • The send button is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod touch. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    The send buttin is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod Touch. This happens even when they have iPhone 4s. Any ideas why and how I can fix this?

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Podcast not automatically downloading for subscribers.

    Subscribers to our podcast have reported that the new episodes do not automatically download for them. I have no idea why. In the iTunes store the podcast seems to be working properly. All episodes are there and the most recent one can be played or downloaded directly from the store. But something seems to be broken with subscriptions and automatic downloads.
    I tried to subscribe myself before submitting this question and didn't seem to be able to get any file to download.
    The name of the podcast is Church of the Cross Boston.
    I searched this forum for an answer and wasn't able to find one that matched this particular problem. Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to provide more info if needed.

  • Automatically removed from group conversation for being idle?

    Where I work, we have a group/team conversation for people to ask questions, make comments, share information, etc.
    In the past few weeks I have noticed that I have been being removed from this group conversation.  Find the message "You have been removed from this conversation."
    I usually start this conversation but leave permission open for everyone so anyone can add people as they come in for later shifts.  I know it's possible to right click on a person's name and remove them from the conversion.
    When this started happening, I researched how to stop it from happening and found that if I changed the permissions to me alone, I am not removed from the conversation.
    My questions are: does Lync automatically remove a person from a conversation if they are idle for a certain amount of time?  If so, what is the time frame?  Does just that person have to be idle or the entire conversation?
    Essentially, I'm trying to find out if some person is actively removing me or if it's some automatic setting within Lync.

    Yes there is a timeout, it's per person but mostly the entire conversation though due to "sending or receiving and instant message.  You can't easily turn it off, but you can change the value a bit.   See set-csclientpolicy setting
    ConferenceIMIdleTimeout.

  • Process chain: how to automatically remove from schedule?

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to automatically remove a process chain from schedule when it has failed?
    Thanks,
    Natalie

    I guess the easiest way is to access RSPC transaction and then remove it from schedule.
    --> execution tab --> remove from schedule.
    you can leave the process chain not active also, if it's triggered by an event, this event will not start it (if you dont want to delete or change trigger job)

  • "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?
