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.

  • Is it iTunes or the Podcast causing the problem?

    I download many differnet podcasts via iTunes and recently started seeing a problemwith several of them.
    All of the podcasts I have this problem with come via the 'Radio Nostalgia Network' but only a few of their programs are affected. An example of what I am seeing can be found by downloading the September 22 'Big Band Serenade' found at: http://bigband.libsyn.com/.
    This file, when iTunes received it, show a play length of 3 hours, 57 minutes but in reality plays for about 30 minutes. But that's not all! If I play it with iTunes, the counter moves as it should and ends after the 30 minutes. If I start it again, at the 30 minute mark, it starts back almost at the beginning of the podcast. Scrolling it up past the 3 hour mark, I'm closing in on the end of the podcast.
    The files I am having problems with seem to be larger then they should be, running 45-55MB rather then the more typical 10-15MB, so there is something else going on.
    Is anybody else seeing this problem?

    Bummer that it didn't work. Wonder if you upgraded to OS X 10.4.10 would make a difference? of c ourse, having written that, I see I'm still listed as running 10.4.2 rather then 10.4.10 like I really am, so expect your in the same boat.
    I'm really surprised that iTunes would freeze up so fast with no internet connection. With my system, if there is no connection, everything stops and I can delete the problem file so it doesn't try to download it when I turn my connection back on.
    I don't think you would need to remove all of your tunes BUT I do highly recommend having a full back up of them just in case. You know that if you do have a back up replacing iTunes will go off without a hitch BUT not having a back up, everything that can go wrong WILL go wrong.
    With that said, I would just delete the iTunes program, as well as the 'com.apple.iTunes.plist' file from ~/library/preferences then reinstall your most recent version of iTunes. Upon launching iTunes it should read in the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file which, if I u nderstand it correctly, is the DB holding all of your iTunes information loke playlists etc.
    Have you had any luck finding an email/contact method for Mr Humphreys? I did give some feedback on a show last year (they played part 1 but never did play part 2) and while at least one other listener also voiced a complaint, nobody ever did anything. As such, that clearly isn't a way to get a message to him.
    The Freudian slip wasn't intentional but guess it might serve a purpose so I shall save it in case I need it again sometime.

  • Is there a way to link from a podcast in the iTunes library list to the podcast in the iTunes store?

    There used to be a link button that did exactly that.  It vanished from iTunes 2 or 3 years ago.  At that time, a number of posts asked how to put it back.  None of the posts I've found had a useful response, so I gather there wasn't.
    I'm just wondering if things have changed.
    Many podcasts now have multiple entries in the iTunes store - often with similar graphics.  There are times when I want to re-download an episode of a subscribed podcast.  The problem isn't getting to the podcast via a search of the iTunes store.  The problem is determining, when a podcast has multiple entries, which version of the podcast has the episode I want.
    Thanks

    As far as I know (not very far, btw) new versions of Java are now only distributed from Oracle specifically for OS X. Apple is no longer updating Java beyond the version distributed with the 2014-001 security update. Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_67 is the most recent Oracle release. That's pretty much all I know.

  • My podcast still loads on the podcast app, but i cannot find the podcast in the itunes store

    My 200 plus episodes are on my already subscribed podcast app and they load there fine, but when i try to find the podcast in the iTunes store,it is gone. I tried to reload my RSS feed to itunes, but it says that feed is already loaded. I recently added a new RSS feed for another show and where posting the same shows in both. I have one as the network where i post many different shows, but also have one of those shows on its own RSS feed so people could subscribe to just that show as well. The one thats missing is Wild Jones Podcast Network, the one that shows is Sativa Sports Talk.

    For your feed - http://wildjones.com/rss
    It is valid - but missing the iTunes category - that should not be why it went missing - that said - in your libsyn account for that show - go to "Destinations" and then click on "Edit" for Libsyn Classic Feed - and add in the iTunes category on that page and click save.  You should also enter the other info while on that page as well.
    That said - the reason why your show was removed from iTunes is that you have profanity in the show description.
    You can not have any profanity in the show title / description or the episode title or description.  Apple has a bot that removes the shows if there is profanity - and there are 3 F-bombs in your shows feed.  You will need to remove all of them - and any other profanity - once that is done - then contact me - ************* - and let me know and I will help you get back into iTunes

  • Upgraded iTunes: now cannot see the Podcasts on my iPod nano

    I know it sounds odd but I am genuinely sad that I have not been able to use my iPod for two days:
    I bought an iPod nano when they first came out and have been very happy with it. Two days ago I upgraded iTunes for the first time (to 7.6.2.9). Since then I have not been able to "see" the Podcasts on my Nano from iTunes.
    This is an issue because it is mostly full of music which I'd rather not delete, and the remainder is Podcasts which I download, load, and delete every day.
    If I cannot delete the old Podcasts, I cannot fill it up with new ones.
    The first thing I did was to upgrade the iPod firmware (to 1.3.1) but I still can't see the Podcasts. I have tried to read the documentation and go through all settings in iTunes, look on the web but with no success.
    My friend has a similar generation iPod and iTunes (~7.5). On this version of iTunes, the Podcasts are also gone. When I plug in my friend's iPod it has a Podcast icon as well as the Music icon. The older version of iTunes let me, I think, see the Podcasts together with the Music.
    Could I somehow have "deleted" a Podcast icon which iTunes need? Can it be restored save for wiping my beloved iPod clean? Can I gracefully downgrade to an old version of iTunes without losing my Music/Podcast library?
    Is anyone familiar with the problem?
    Regards,
    Allan

    Allan is this the same problem I have - downloaded a couple of chapters of a podcast onto nano - and they played fine - although I had to search for them to find them. Then connected to computer and wanted to search to delete them but no search brings them up? If it is the same, have you resolved your issue? I have same problem that no more room to store so I want to get rid of the listened to podcasts.(ps I'm on windows not mac) Thanks, Ele

    First of all, you don't need to use CAPS in thread title, as many people will consider this a desperate shout for attention you're not likely to get.
    Then, make sure your podcasts are synced with iPod. If they are, podcasts should be available from "Music" menu. If they 're not, browse for sync options in iTunes and make them copy to your iPod. After all, if you subscribed to video podcasts, don't be surprised you can't view them on your Nan for one obvious reason... iPod Nano can't view videos.

  • Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

    Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

    Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • I want to take out the podcast from the screen

    i just bought the macbook pro and i was just looking up through the apps and i open the podcast capture and the boot camp assistant and i want to take it out of the screen and i can't. How can i do about it?

    The normal way to close an application is to drop down the menu entitled the same as the application, top left next to the apple menu, and select 'Quit [appname]'.  Alternatively right-click it's icon in the dock and select 'Quit'.  If an application refuses to quit then drop down the apple menu and select 'Force Quit'.

  • How can we use a canned intro or background music when our technology is basic. We record the podcast over the phone.

    Where I work currently has a podcast posted on our website. I want to add a canned intro or background music and improve the sound quality before submitting our podcast to itunes. The person who creates our podcast says it isn't possible because there's no way to hook up a tape recorder or other device with a prerecorded message to the phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You would record it over the phone first, then add any music. You don't want to record music over a phone line. Ideally you need a simple multi-track editor: there must be lots of suitable software around for Windows but I don't use Windows so I can't advise on that.

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • "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?
    Phil
    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.

  • Is it possible to manually add podcasts to the podcast section of an iphone

    Hello everyone.
    I've been trying to figure out a way to manually add podcasts to my iphone and have them show up in the podcast section. I can add podcasts fine to the music section, that works and they play fine but they can be hard to find amid the thousands of songs I have.
    When I try to manually add podcasts to the podcasts section in itunes, I get the sad red circle with a line through it, instead of the happy blue plus sign that I get when I add podcasts to the music section.
    Podcasts that I download are classified correctly, but the ones I want to add can't be downloaded anywhere anymore (licensing restrictions I believe).
    Am doing something wrong or is this the way itunes is meant to work? Something misconfigured maybe?
    I'm using itunes 7.6.2.9 on Vista.

    For some reason known only to Apple, only files downloaded through iTunes can be in the podcast section of iPod. As far as I know there is still no supported way around this.
    Occassionaly someone reports getting around issue by manually editing the file using a hex editor. This involves comparing iTunes downloaded file with non-iTunes downloaded file to find the difference. Once found, the equivalent setting in other files can be changed. I have never done it though.

  • Why is the podcast section slow?

    I know this is probably not a new thread, but I'm getting sick and tired of continued releases of iTunes 11 being released for Windows and nothing being done to actually fix the Podcast section of the program. Whether it's related to the podcast art or not, I'm not sure, but regardless, loading the section and each subsequent click takes between 3 and 10 seconds each time. Add to that the lack of alphabetised listing, fewer settings for podcasts in general, and I wish I didn't have to be so reliant upon iTunes for my podcasting needs.
    Come on Apple, please provide a fix soon?

    Podcasts are not "stored" in the iTunes Store, so - and I'm guessing here...
    when a song is purchased in the iTunes Store, that download comes from the store itself and it's reasonable to assume that the list of songs is held by Apple in the store. The store will have an up-to-date list of the songs available, ready to give you at any time.
    but since Podcasts are downloaded directly to your iTunes Library from the Podcast producer's host site (and not from the store), it's reasonable to assume that the iTunes Store obtains a list of the Podcast episodes only when you ask for it. That's how it's kept up-to-date. So the store has to "look outside" the store (to another computer, located who-knows-where) at the time you ask for the list of contents. That takes time, albeit a very short time.
    So this almost certainly why it takes iTunes a while to display the list of Podcasts when you are searching in-store.
    As for the artwork for Podcasts; again, this is the responsiblity of the Podcaster, not the iTunes Store. Artwork for commercially produced music albums is an established and accepted fact. The musicians and companies that produce the music are well versed in it. But Podcasts are completely controlled by the originator of the Podcast and are simply listed by the Store. Podcasts are often produced by individuals, or simply by people who either don't see the need for artwork, or don't have the resources to work out how to put the artwork on to their episodes. It's not that easy, believe it or not.
    Apple/the iTunes Store does not "trade" the Podcasts (it doesn't "sell" them), and the store has almost no control over them.
    Look on the bright side: Apple (The iTunes Store) provides you with a list of Podcasts and gives you a facility to download them into your iTunes Library and onto your iPod etc, for absolutely no cost to you. iTunes, the programme also does a fair bit of work to manage Podcasts, such as:
    marking them as Skip when shuffling so thay don't play while listening to music in shuffle mode (a podcast is simply another audio file, just like your music Library);
    organising them in your iTunes Library (well, in the List view, they are orgainsed. No idea what Apple had in mind with the other views!);
    marks a Podcast episode as Remember playback position - incredibly useful for long speech Podcasts;
    has a visual indicator to remind you when you have part-listened to a Podcast episode or fully heard it. This feature is also available on some iPods.
    And before anyone says it, no, I do not think iTunes is perfect, particularly in Podcasts.
    Downloaded episodes and other available (but not yet downloaded) episodes are now indistinguishable from one another. Mad!
    Total unplayed episodes count now includes episodes that are not downloaded into my Library. Utter madness!
    My Stations. I just don't get it!
    The Podcasts App for iDevices. Well, I think my thoughts on that are best left unsaid. (The last time I looked, it still wasn't possible to create a Playlist of Podcast episodes.)

  • The "Podcasts" menu doesn't show up anymore

    My ipod no longer shows "podcasts" as a menu option anymore.  The podcasts themselves still synch with no trouble, and I can find them by using the "search" function, but I'd much rather peruse the podcasts via the menu.  Any thoughts on how I might make the option accessible again?  Not sure how I removed it in the first place.
    Thanks so much!  This has been bugging me for months.

    This worked!  And my most heartfelt apologies - this is the first time I used this forum, and I clicked "this helped me" before I saw that "this solved my question" was an option.  I tried to go back and change it, but without luck.  Sorry, and thanks again!

  • How do I delete my podcast from the itunes store?

    I submitted a podcast to iTunes, but have since deleted the account on the website I was using to host the podcast. Whenever I try to use the report a concern option to delete the podcast from the iTunes store, it tells me to go to the RSS feed and change it, but I cannot do this since I have deleted the account to the website where I would change the RSS feed. What should I do?

    Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to remove the podcast, explaining that you cannot access the feed. In any case, as I assume the feed is no longer accessible by iTunes, the podcast will get removed eventually anyway.

Maybe you are looking for
