Rate (and delete) Podcasts on the iPod

Hi,
why is it that I can rate songs but no Podcasts on the iPod? That makes no sense to me. Further it would be nice to be able to delete Podcasts on the iPod. I mean, I listen to them on the iPod, and so I would like to manage them on the iPod; straight forward.
Any suggestions please?

hmm, not quite the answer I was hoping to get, but thanks anyways. feedback is sent.
Could it be that prior to the last synch I was able to rate podcasts? I am quite sure I could.
I don't see any sense in not allowing to rate podcasts so could somebody please tell me the intended way to manage podcasts?

A web page served by the printer should open. Does it?

Why mac always delete files on the ipod? and the third this!

why mac always delete files on the ipod? and the third this!

It's not Mac, it is iTunes, especially the recent version.
Every week you can see about 10 posts on iPod missing songs after ejecting from iTunes.
Well maybe Apple is telling iPod users, to buy their latest innovation like iPad 2.

"Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced ....?????

I'm getting a "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist" pop-up when ever I sync.
Here is a post that seems to addressing the same type of error message for a failed music sync but after reading it I'm not making any sense of how it might relate to the a problem with a podcast sync: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1788041.
In a reckless attempt to fix the problem I deleted all the playlists which I created in iTunes, then deleted and resubscribed to the podcasts, and then did a sync. But the error still occurs and no podcasts were added to the iTouch (even though the newly resubscribed podcasts are in iTunes on my PC). I also found that I could download a podcast directly to the iTouch without having to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. But I'd rather be getting the podcasts via the subscription feature that is in iTunes and then syncing them to the iTouch.
Any ideas what is going on ?
Thank you.

After reading your post several times, I think I understand what you are saying, but can we just check the precise sequence of events, for (let's say) one Podcast episode?
Are you:
1. downloading the Podcast in iTunes;
2. Syncing the iPod and therefore placing that Podcast on the Touch;
3. Listening to the Podcast and then using the delete facility _on the Touch_ to delete that Podcast from the Touch;
(3A. Adding more Podcasts (and/or music) to your iTunes Library;)
4. Performing another Sync and getting the message "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"?
Step 3A may or may not have occurred, it's not crucial. What is important to find out from you, are you deleting Podcasts on the Touch?

Oh, and by the way, if new Podcast are no longer being transferred to the iPod, has the setting for syncing Podcasts been changed? Look on the Podcasts pane when you connect the iPod to iTunes.

Deleted podcasts reappearing on ipod

I manage the content of my ipod manually. After I upload a podcast to the ipod, I delete it from iTunes. Then, after I have listened to the podcast on the ipod, I delete it with the Delete button on the ipod. This was working for me perfectly.
Now, since around the time I upgraded ipod firmware to 3.0 (and 3.1 later), it stopped working: the podcasts I deleted from the ipod are reappearing in the podcast list next time after I upload content to the ipod. The files are not there physically (when I click on them, they don't play), they just show as unplayed podcasts in the list. The only way to stop them from reappearing is to delete them from the ipod through iTunes, but that defeats the purpose of having the Delete button on the ipod.
I've looked through the forums and I've seen a few posts with similar problems, but the suggestions were to check smart lists for podcasts. I checked all my smart lists, and all of them have the "podcast=false" condition.
Does anybody know why this is happening, or how to fix it?
I have another question that might or might not be relevant here. When I drag and drop content onto ipod, in iTunes I see a message saying "updating" and then "Synching ipod." Is iTunes supposed to be synching with ipod if I manage my content manually?
Thanks for your help.

hmm. i know that for a while podcasts deleted on the ipod sometimes returned in this 'ghost' fashion when the ipod was powered off (rather than just put to sleep), but as far as i can tell this was fixed a few updates ago.
your form of the problem seems to be a new one however. are they removed when you sync?
manual management still involves syncing, that is how it makes the changes.

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem! I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes. I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option. The songs are syncing! And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now! Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem. There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

Rating the podcasts in the iPod?

Is it possible to use the "my rating" option with the podcasts in the iPod? I can do it in iTunes activating the column with the stars and all that stuff, but I can't do it in the iPod. Even after doing it in iTunes and synchronizing the iPod it doesn't appear the option as in the songs.

Hi there,
It sounds like the maximum volume limit may be set to a lower vloume. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to check that setting.

HT3281 anyone know how to delete podcasts off the new itunes please

Hi
Does anyone know how you delete podcasts of the new I-Tunes please
Thank you

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

How to delete podcasts with the iclould icon?

How to delete podcasts with the iclould icon?

That is discouraging. However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast. This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar). As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself. I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod?

Can songs be deleted directly off the iPod without connecting to the computer? A co-worker purchased an iPod but decided he didn't want it and wants to return it so he deleted the program off his computer. He asked me how to get it off the iPod. I told him I didn't think he could that I knew of. Anyone know?

Keep Podcasts on the iPod only

Hi all,
Does anyone have a system to keep only certain podcasts on the iPod and not have it take up tonnes of space on the computer. I also need them to update and once they are down move them to the iPod and get them off the computer.
Thanks
Ro

As far as I know (and I only tested this a while ago, so newer software may have changed it), you can only manually manage podcasts if you are also manually managing the library. Short of that, it's impossible.

Delete Account on the iPod, will it delete info on my other devices?

My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?
If I go to "Settings', 'iCloud', and then 'Delete Account' on the iPod will it delete everything on the other devices too?

No. Deleting the iCloud account from a device only deletes the iCloud account information from that device. As you delete it, you will see what iCloud-related information will be deleted. But it will not have any affect on iCloud on other devices.
Cheers,

I can't deletting files in the iPod 7G, how formating?

I'm tired of this crap, I try to delete and instead what I do is worsen the situation, please tell me or send me a video of how to format my iPod 7G

After completing the Restore, the best way to load content on the iPod is through automatic syncing.
Connect the iPod and select it in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod with songs.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your entire iTunes music library can fit on your iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Then, everything in your iTunes music library, including playlists, syncs to your iPod. Click Apply and you can skip the next three paragraphs.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. One way to set this up, if you want to keep it simple, is to create a new regular playlist in iTunes. From your iTunes music library, put ALL songs you want on the iPod on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark that one playlist under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes loads the iPod with your selection on the Music tab, which in this case are the songs on that playlist. Going forward, when you want to change the songs on the iPod, just update that "iPod songs" playlist (add and remove songs). The next time you connect the iPod, or click the Sync button, your changes automatically sync to the iPod.
You can add more playlists to your selection on the Music tab, and also select specific artists, albums, and/or genres. The concept here is NOT to manage the iPod directly and manually. Instead, you manage your iTunes library and settings on the Music tab, and let iTunes handle the iPod.
NOTE: There are other "tabs" next to the Summary and Music tabs. Those tabs are for setting up other types of iTunes content for automatic syncing to the iPod.

How do you delete files from the iPod?

i have a 30GB iPod, but i was wondering how you delete music from the iPod? and also is it possible to play the music from the iPod?
30GB iPod. Windows XP 30GB iPod.

There are several methods of deleting songs from the iPod and/or iTunes, and the method you choose depends on the settings you have selected for your iPod.
If you have the iPod set to automatically transfer songs, and you no longer want a copy of those songs on either the iPod or in iTunes, simply delete the songs in iTunes. Highlight the songs you no longer want then right click and select "clear", or from the edit menu select "clear". Next time you connect the iPod, the songs will be deleted from there also.
Only do this if you no longer want the songs on both the iPod and your computer.
You can also use the "only update checked songs" method in the iPod options (right click on the iPod in the source list in iTunes and select options, then select "only update checked songs"). With this preference checked, you can remove the check mark from the songs in iTunes that you no longer want on the iPod. The next time you connect the iPod, those unchecked songs will be removed from the iPod whilst still being retained in iTunes. You can check and uncheck songs as you change your mind about what songs you want to put on the iPod. Songs that have no check mark against them will be skipped over when played back in iTunes.
If you have the iPod set to manually manage your songs, and you want to delete the song from the iPod only, then select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, or click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear", or use the edit menu as previously mentioned.
This method only deletes the songs from the iPod, so if you no longer want the song in iTunes also, you'll need to delete it from there separately using the method above.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, all these settings can be found in the summary screen.
If you want to delete everything from the iPod and completely erase the hard drive and start from scratch, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings.
Only do this if you have the songs in your iTunes library, or a back up somewhere other than the iPod itself.
To play music from an iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
This will make the songs on the iPod accessible and playable.
