Recognizing Previously Downloaded Podcast Tracks as Podcast

Hi, I had to rebuild my computer recently and when I reinstalled iTunes it imported all of my music and podcasts with no problem other than many of my previously downloaded podcast tracks show up in the normal library but are not shown in the podcast listing as having been downloaded.
This is a fairly petty issue I know since they still play and all that, I just like to see all the podcasts that I have downloaded and listened to listed under the podcasts tab. Now it looks like I neither downloaded nor listened to them.
It seems to be a mix of .mov and .mp4 files, not any one type specifically.
Dell Latitude D820 Windows XP Pro

How about deleting it later? I've gotten some music on a podcast and would like to add it to my music library, but I have a playlist that lists podcasts and I can't find an option to take those songs out of my 'podcast' playlist.
I'm using a mac with the latest OS X and iTunes.

Previously downloaded podcasts prompt to download again on iPhone

Whenever I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my previously downloaded podcasts get removed. Any podcast that was downloaded prior to the sync prompts to download again when I go to play it (which is typically when I commute and I don't have wifi access). Unfortunately, I have one podcast that requires me to sync via iTunes. Otherwise, all the others sync great with the podcasts app. I am hoping there is a setting that is causing this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey there Mestrya,
It sounds like your one iPhone 4 is having issues downloading or using internet on a Wi-Fi connection even after resetting your phone and modifying your router settings, but other devices work without issue. I would recommend for you the following article to help resolve this, named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

ITunes doesn't see podcasts it has previously downloaded

Hi,
I use iTunes to download podcasts as mp3 files. I had to uninstall iTunes and install the latest version. All went well, but now iTunes doesn't see the mp3 files previously downloaded. Is there a way I can tell it to treat those mp3 files as podcasts it had downloaded?
Many thanks, Dan

I am having trouble getting a m4a podcast to download in my podcast feed also. I tried unsubscribing and subscribing again but that didn't help. I am using feedburner with smartcast enabled for all rich media files, so that shouldn't be a factor.
This is the first time I have tried posting an enhanced podcast within my feed, however. This is my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/speedofcreativity/podcasts
I read online that naming fileswith the m4b extension is more compatible, but that didn't work. I can use the direct link and in QuickTime choose file - open URL and it works. The feed is also updated and includes the latest post with this enclosure. So for some reason there is a problem with iTunes recognizing it. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks

Hacked Message: Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID

So I just got a message from Apple saying
"Your Apple ID was just used to download Podcasts from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID"
I am new to Apple products and signed up to the app store about an hour before but have not downloaded any apps yet.
I also turned on iCloud Drive.
Neither of these are Podcasts and I do not have any Podcasts on my device.
The message is a really poor warning, it could for instance list the IP address which would immediately tell me if it was me.
It could list what type of device it was.
It could list what Podcast was downloaded.
But no, just some random message, probably generated by the really bad default iPhone settings that put ease of use before security.
I have a long complex password that I do not want ot have to change just because Apple generates a stupid message.
On Google you have a log of all logins and devices, is there something similar with Apple, so I can figure this out?

I have not down downloaded any podcasts and there are no podcasts in the podcasts app, of course if Apple were to list the podcast that was downloaded, the IP address and the device it might help one dismiss the message.
I am running the latest v8.1.1 although how the version of my OS related to a message generated by Apple servers is beyond me, unless my device is not authenticating properly so Apple thinks I am someone else but then as I have not downloaded any Podcasts that would not seem to be the issue.
It does NOT say you downloaded a podcast. First, podcasts are not downloaded from the App Store; they are downloaded from the iTunes store.
It's very clear to me; the app named "Podcasts" was downloaded, not a podcast. "Podcasts" is a app provided by Apple for managing and downloading podcasts.

Downloading Podcasts in chapter order

Is there a way to download podcasts in chapter order other than manually? I've subscribed to a number of podcasts and always seem to have to listen to them in reverse order. Any suggestion on correcting that?

Someone please answer this question!
I try to use the "Copy to Order" feature, ut it never sticks. I can listen to them in order in iTunes, but whenever I move them over to my iPod shuffle, everything is reversed and I have to listen to my radio podcast backwards!! No amount of "Copying to Order" fixes this.
It makes me have to hit the previous track button twice after every track to get to the next chronological track.
Please help!

TS2313 error message downloading podcasts in itunes

Whenever I try to download podcast episodes from iTunes I get an error message that reads: "There was a problem downloading <podcast>. The file directory is corrupted or unreadable." I don't understand this, because it happens with all of my podcasts. It says check the URL connection, but the internet is fine and iTunes is working just fine. I have previously downloaded these podcasts before without problems. I unsubscribed and deleted all of the podcasts' content and then resubscribed, but it did not help. What do I do?

I am marking this as answered as no-one seems to be interested. I guess I just have to be careful to run iTunes at least once a week to get all the episodes on my podcast list.

ITunes 11.0.2 no longer sees my downloaded podcasts

Upgraded to 11.0.2, and now when I select "Podcasts" in my library, it no longer shows any of my downloaded podcasts. I downloaded an episode from a new podcast, and that displays in my library. I have confirmed that all of the podcasts I am expecting to see are still available on my HDD. Additionally, there are now two "Podcasts" in the selection for choosing what part of my library I want to view.
I have already tried downloading and reinstalling iTunes, and that did not resolve the issue.
Suggestions? Ideas? Help?
Thanks.

I experienced the same issue. I am familiar with it from previous versions of iTunes and located the correct "Show iTunes Purchases in the Cloud" checkbox on your screen capture. Wasn't on mine. I decided to reinstall iTunes 11.0.1 and, as you can see from my screen grab, it is there now. Problem solved.

HT5295 I have read the other comments of others with the same problem of downloading podcasts and submitted my comment,but there is still no fix to the problem.Does anyone know why the trouble has not been taken care of?Who is the person dealing with this

the podcast app is not fixed still wont download,did not find any solutions with anyones comments,they all have the same problem with this app.So how can you say the problem is fixed,get someone who knows how to really do something so it is not a recurring topic of frustration!!!!!

You might get more replies to this (but not from Apple, who you will recall, do not monitor these discussions) if you had posted in the Podcasts for iOS discussions, but never mind. At least in this post you've mentioned that your problem is with the Podcast App, something you didn't mention in your previous post. Consequently, my comments were based on "problems downloading Podcasts", not "problems with the new Podcast App".
(I don't use the new Podcast App, since I cannot install iOS 5 on my Touch. So I stick with the older method of listening to Podcasts on my iPod.) That said however...
It cannot have escaped Apple's attention that the new Podcast App has not been well received. Although these discussions tend to focus on what's wrong rather than what's right, it does appear that the App hasn't been well thought out.
In particular, the Auto Play feature, which - once an episode has finished playing, the "next most recent unplayed episode" will begin. Now, maybe I'm wrong but to me that means that it plays the Podcasts in reverse date order, so episode 19 will play after episode 20 and episode 18 after ep.19! That is how the iPod Classic plays Podcasts by default and the Classic forum is littered with posts from people who think this is barmy. (I think it's barmy too!)
I use an iPod Touch as well. Although not perfect, playing Podcasts on the Touch is far easier than on a Classic.
You are unlikely to find any "solutions" to the issues with the Podcast App, because the "solution" is for Apple to redesign it.
If you are assuming that the update of 25th july is a claim that it's fixed... oh dear! I notice that the App views, shown in the Store, still include that "tortoise and hare" screen with what appears to be the transport mechanism for a reel-to-reel tape deck. That alone tells me there is no real improvement to the App. It really is the worst graphic Apple have ever produced! I'll be surprised if anyone under 35 recognises that graphic as a reel-to-reel tape deck.
Actually, I have a question for you.
If you have the Podcast App installed on your Touch, does that mean that the previous method of listening to Podcasts has been removed from your iPod, or can you still access them in the Music App? If you can, abandon the Podcast App and use the old method. If not, please warn me in order that I don't purchase a new iPod Touch until Apple fix this!
Sorry I can't be the bearer of more positive news.

Can't download Podcasts.

I am having a problem with the Podcast pages on iTunes via my iPod Touch.
I press on 'iTunes' and then 'Podcasts' and can search & scroll through the lists of Podcasts but when I press on one the screen goes black and returns to the iPod Touch Home Screen.
Everything seems fine with the music pages of iTunes so I'm not sure why I'm having this problem with the Podcasts. I have downloaded Podcasts from my iPod Touch previously.
Anyone have any suggests?
Thanks!

Anybody got any ideas?

Cannot Download Podcasts - iTunes 10.5.1 x64

Good Morning All -
For the past few days, I've been unable to download Podcasts in iTunes.
What Happens
I can subscribe to Podcasts via the iTunes Store and they show up in my Podcasts section, but are greyed out. (below)
When I try to click on "Get", an exclamation point is displayed to the left of the Podcast. When I click on it, I get an error message: "There was a problem downloading..." It then says "Authorization is needed to access..." (below)
Machine Specs
Lenovo Thinkpad T510
Windows 7 SP1 x64
iTunes 10.5.1.42 x64 (The issue was there before upgrading, though)
Administrator / Local Administrator rights. (Computer is joined to a domain, but I log into it as a local user which has local admin rights)
What I've Tried to Resolve the Issue - None of them worked:
Delete / Unsubscribe from all Podcasts, then Subscribe to them again
Deauthorize iTunes (My Computer), then Authorize it again
Reinstalled iTunes (Uninstall / Delete any leftover files from Profile & App Path (except library) / Reinstall
Windows Event Logs show nothing
Other Notes
About a month ago, I did create a new Library in a different folder & even on a different partition. I used it to migrate only the things I wanted to keep. I did it this way so I could take my time doing it without loosing any current data. Could this have something to do with it? I'd rather not recreate a new library again from scratch - perhaps there's a way to "reset" just the Podcasts section.
I use iTunes to sync the following devices which I own: iPhone 4 (5.0), iPad 2 Wifi (5.0), iPod Classic (~60gb), AppleTV Classic (4.x?)
I use iTunes Match
Previously, I've installed and used "TuneUp" which runs alongside iTunes to clean my library of 3500+ songs.
The combined size of my Library on disk is ~90gb and is held on a seperate drive & partition than iTunes & OS and uses the D: drive letter (Seems stupid to say, but know different drive letters can cause issues in some apps)
Lastly
So what may I do to resolve this issue? I've tried to include any information that may have a role in the error. Just in case, I ran the iTunes diagnostics and included them below. I tried to include everything, but guess there's a limit of screenshots you can apply to a post.
Thank You! - Ben K.
Diagnostics - Results Below in Screenshots
Note: Was unable to run CD Drive test due to using a 2nd hard drive in CD slot - Wouldn't think it would be issue anyways.

Disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer then try again.

I'm trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download, but nothing downloads. since i upgraded to the io6

im trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download but nothing happens, since i upgraded to the io6

Stacey Lou,
All I can say is I am having the same problem on my 4th Gen iPod Touch, but not my 3rd gen iPad. Occasionally, the podcast app will work, other times, all the downloads get stuck on "Preparing to Download". No obvious solution has presented itself.
Illaass, none of the previous discussions I see in "more Like This" seem to cover this topic specifically.
Idle speculation: Based on the behavior I have noticed elsewhere in iOS 6, I am convinced what is happening is if you start the podcast download someplace with a crappy connection, all subsequent attempts to download the same file will hang. I have seen this in app updates that stalled due a bad connection. All subsequent attempts to update the app also stall, regardless of the quality of the internet connection. I have to DELETE the app and reinstall it to get it to work. Maybe something similar is going on here with the Podcasts app. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to 'delete' the podcast and then re-download it.

Importing songs/downloading podcasts results in crticial memory error

Hello folks,
I have a problem with iTunes that I have been trying to solve over the past year and a half that renders the program unusable. For the record, I run a Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3 machine, with a Pent 4 CPU, 2 gigs Ram.
When importing songs, playing music, or downloading podcasts, my computer will eventually return a memory write error, and iTunes will crash shortly after. It does not matter in how large or small a batch of songs are being imported, how many or few podcasts are being imported. Eventually the system will return the error regardless. In addition, this error occurs only in the drive where the music files themselves are housed. I separate my program installs, my files, and my system files across three different drives, so it's only whatever read/write processes that iTunes uses when accessing files that causes the memory error.
Before anyone starts talking about how this is a dangerous sign that the drive that houses my music is about to die, this is an isolated error that only occurs when iTunes is run, and never occurs at any other time in the five+ years I've owned the computer. Once this error occurs and iTunes shuts down, my computer will continue to return errors with the mft file table, which will disappear once I restart my computer with no harm done to the files or any losses.
In order to fix this problem, I have uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled newer and older versions of iTunes, as well as followed the official procedures for completely stripping iTunes from my system in order to install completely cleanly, in order to see if there is a conflict between older installs of iTunes or other programs.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? I can only assume that iTunes, for whatever reason, is not playing well with my system set up. My system specs are all above the minimum required to run iTunes according to Apple, so I do not -think- this is a problem with the computer running out of memory. I have also run itunes with a plentiful amount of free space on the drive that both houses the program and the drive that houses the music. Even vague shots in the dark are welcome at this point.
Thank you very much, everyone.

I have finally figured out the problem. It is some corrupt music tracks. Once I delete the corrupt tracks, I can sync using Convert higher bit rate songs to 128.
The culprits are songs which show as if it 728:57:13 (758 minutes!), but are actually only small 51 KB files and are unplayable, or maybe play for a fraction of a second.
For me, these tracks were ripped from CD that had a scratch so they didn't import properly and I never deleted from my library.

Partial downloads podcasts deleting

How do you delete a partial downloaded podcast from iphone

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

C7-00: How do download podcast

I can download podcast with my previous 5800 (breaking >_<), but I can't find the podcast feature in C7. Any hint? or the feature is removed by Nokia? Why?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes very strange that Nokia didn't simply copy the simply perfect N5800 podcast function...
Beside Podcatcher, Nokia is actually developping Reader which seems to have podcast features and said to be C7 compatible : http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-reader.
But, personnaly, I can't installed it on my C7 with PR 1.0 : it seems that the problem diseapear with PR1.2 : http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-reader/bugreport/20616/installation-problem

How to synch a downloaded podcast to classic iPod

I have a downloaded podcast but it is not synching to my iPod and I see no way to synch it. The previous iTunes did have a synch button which worked well. Any ideas from fellow iPod users? Thank you.

I was able to figure this concundrum out. Thanks for those who might have been poised to jump in and refer me to the right answer.
