Remove Podcast pdfs from iTunes music

I subscribe to a podcast which downloads PDFs in to iTunes.
The PDFs show up in Music and in Podcasts. Obviously PDFs aren't music. I want to keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in podcasts.
iTunes seems to know what are Podcasts and keeps them out of the music library. But it doesn't treat the PDF podcast as a podcast and leaves it in music.
How do I keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in Podcasts?
Thanks

Hey Jac151,
I also had the same problem...and heres the only solution I found. Take a look at this website: http://thetechgears.com/how-to-completely-reset-itunes-11-playlist-and-library-a nd-start-fresh/
It will reset your itunes library, and you will have to scan for media files to import all your stuff again (songs & movies). For mobile apps, your need to go to icloud to download them again. Its a huge long process, but it was the only way that would reset the way it viewed my pdfs in iBooks. Good luck!

  • Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

    I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

    The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

  • Remove "old" PDFs from iTunes: iBook Duplicates

    Hi everyone,
    I did my researcher and tinkered with it, but I can't find out how to fix this. I guess now PDFs sync through iTunes from iBooks to iOS devices. Well, I had several PDFs from the pre-Mavericks era in iTunes ("iTunes Media" >"Books" folder).
    Well I imported my PDFs into iBooks so that I could start adding new and managing them, but now all my devices have duplicates showing in iTunes (in the books tab when I select a device) and it tries to sync the old and new. I deleted the Books folder from iTunes Media, but it still attempts to sync those books and I get an error "can find file" when I sync, but most annoying of all is that on the books tab there is duplicates of all the PDFs that [I]were[I] in the old "books" folder and now in iBooks.
    How can I get iTunes to delete and "forget" the old PDFs without restoring my device?

  • How do I remove Podcast(s) from iTunes 12

    My device is a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.5 Maverick and with iTunes 12.0.1.  I recently subscribed to a podcast that I was interested in.  Prior to subscribing, I set the Podcast settings to
    Limit Episodes>Off
    Download Episodes>Off
    Delete Played Episodes>On
    Two days ago, the day I subscribed, I received 9 Updates, of those I downloaded two, and saved both.  Today, two days later, under 'Recent Updates", it still shows all nine episodes: I understood they would be removed or 'drop out' after 24 hours if not downloaded or saved.
    In the "My Podcast" screen, I can right click on each episode and my options are, among others, "Mark as Unplayed" "Save Episode" and Download Podcast Episode"  I can change over to "Playlists" screen and have the same options, and get the same options when I click on the three dots to the right of each episode title.  I can't find any drop-downs, menus, other settings, etc that allow for manual deleting, or would indicate the episodes are miss marked in any way as to have reason to stay on the computer.  Is this a bug? or am I missing something?

    Figured it out by accident.  When I disconnected by iPad, the Books section came up in iTunes and I saw the PDF's there.  I just clicked on the one's I wanted to delete and hit the Delete key.  They are now gone.  So easy.

  • Why Are Think Tanks Removing Podcast Subscriptions from iTunes?

    Over the past year a few of the think tanks have ceased to use iTunes to host their podcasts.  The most recent is the New America Foundation, which chose to move to SoundCloud as a host platform.  Sadly, this erodes the one stop sourcing that makes iTunes valuable to podcasts listeners.
    Does anyone know why such professional nonprofit organizations are finding iTunes suboptimal?

    Or, again, they might just not have remembered to update their feed. If they list feeds in a lot of places, it wouldn't be that hard to just forget one or two. New America still claims their podcasts as being on iTunes:
    http://newamerica.net/podcast
    though nothing new has been listed in a couple of years, so I'm guessing that they just didn't change the feed, or for some reason weren't able to get it changed, as opposed to it being a decision not to list with iTunes.
    Regards.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • Remove imported movies from itunes

    How does one remove imported movies from itunes?

    You can't put films into the cloud, whether they will show for redownloading (e.g. via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage) depends upon what country that you are in (they can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you've changed countries since buying them (they won't show if you have), and if the rights-holder keeps them in your country's store (any item could be removed from the store at any time) - rather than relying on being able to redownload them you should copy them (and the reset of your iTunes library) to a backup drive (preferably drives) so that you have your own copy. By default your iTunes library is stored under : /Users/username/Music/iTunes
    You can delete them from your library by selecting them and pressing the delete key on your keyboard.

  • How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

  • How can I remove my iPad from iTunes using my iPad?

    My laptop broke and it had my iTunes stuff on it. I can not afford to repair it o I'm selling it later to my cousin. He likes to mess around a lot and I need to know how to remove my device. Please no commenting on black up because I use iCloud. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

    If you want to unassociate your iPad from the computer, As far as I know - you still have to log into your account on the computer and remove the device from iTunes in there. Yoy cant do it on the iPad.
    Launch iTunes, and go to Store>view my account. Enter your Apple ID and your password. Go to iTunes in the cloud. There should be something that says Associated Devices, click on that and you can remove the iPad.
    Is this what you are asking?  BTW .... This has nothing to do with iCloud black up.
