Selection "Automatically update selected podcasts only" disabled in iTunes

I would like to manually select the podcasts updated to my iPod Mini. For some reason the option "Automatically update selected podcasts only" is not available in my iTunes 6.0.4. The option is disabled/grayed and the list of podcasts below it is empty.
What could be the reason for that kind of behaviour?
Windows XP

The Podcasts tab in iPod preferences only applies to podcasts you've downloaded via iTunes. Podcasts in your library are considered music even when the Genre is set to "Podcast".
To automatically transfer those files to you iPod, create a (smart) playlist with just the podcasts and choose "Automatically update selected playlists only" from the Music tab in iPod preferences.

Cannot select automatic updates, it is greyed out

I cannot select automatic updates. the option is greyed out, and the pc is on a domain; It shows updates disabled by your system administrator.

Actually, it's '''Your''' system administrator. Tell whoever takes care of
the computers your problem. If that is not the case, please answer

Will automatic update select 'Adobe Reader X' after support ends for 'Adobe Reader 9.5.5' on 6/23?

After the recent update for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ the end of support for this version is June 23, 2013. This is installed on an edition of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2’. System type: 32-bit Operating System.

Probably is the best way to go if end of support for ‘Adobe Reader 9.5.5’ is June 23, 2013. Does automatic update select the latest version of ‘Adobe Reader X’?

My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list" What am I doing wrong?

You are correct that is what I'm talking about. I did install it.
Now I can't get the check box in the preferences security panel under the tab "general" that allows "automatically update safe downloads list" to stay checked. Each time I unlock and check the box and then relock and close, the check mark disapears. This is the problem.

My Windows XP software recently had an automatic update and now when I open iTunes, I receive the message "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have not used iTunes for several weeks so the issue may not be related to the last Windows XP automatic upgrade. I have never had problems with iTunes in the past. Is this a real message or perhaps a virus?
Before I reinstall iTunes, any thoughts?

It's a real message.
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

For some reason, iOS 6 has decided to download on my iPod Touch through WiFi. I didn't request it, nothing is set to automatically update in the Touch settings, or iTunes. It seemed to start downloading when I synced the Touch. I've disconnected the Touch from WiFi temporarily. How can I cancel the download, or will there be an option when it's done downloading to cancel the install?
Thanks for any help...

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Automatic Update for podcasts doesn't work

The hardware/software:
iPod Classic, updated to the very latest version of the software.
iTunes, also updated to the most recent version.
Mountain Lion.
17" MacBook Pro.
I subscribe to quite a few podcasts (>50). Until recently, iTunes would automatically update them--check for new episodes and download them--automatically once every hour. Since I updated something--whether it be iTunes, MacOS, or something else--this automatic check simply doesn't happen.
If I go into iTunes under Podcasts, there is a "Settings..." button at the bottom. I click this and this is what it says:
Check for new episodes: EVERY HOUR
Settings for: PODCAST DEFAULTS
[checked] Use Default Settings
When new episodes are available: DOWNLOAD ALL
Episodes to keep: ALL UNPLAYED EPISODES
So it should, every hour, get all new episodes, download them, and quietly delete played episodes (I allow auto-delete).
It doesn't. I have sat and watched it. Nothing at all tries to update. So I end up manually updating--clicking the "Refresh" button--a lot.
I have spot-checked most of my subscribed podcasts, and each of them has the "Use default settings" checkbox checked, and every single one has "Every hour" selected.
(As a secondary issue: If I go in and set a single podcast to not update or to update less frequently, it resets the default to whatever I set for that podcast. This can't be right, can it?)
Any ideas? Have I missed a crucial setting somewhere? Is this a known bug?

Since my windows 8 has automatically updated, I am unable to access itunes store. It comes up blank, and sometimes my downloads say 'the network connection was reset'. Any ideas?

I have checked servers and ports, done the winsock bit (only bonjour shows), have checked my antivirus, everything. But still I can't sort it and it's frustrating me, as it picks and chooses when it downloads apps and songs I have recently purchased too. Nothing has changed except for the windows 8 automatic updates, and it was working fine beforehand.

Updating my podcast to new location, iTunes not recognizing new feed(48hrs)

Hi Podcasters,
I've been googling and reading about this the past few hours but I'm still at a loss. On Monday I moved my podcast - Pod Stories: Tales for everyone, which has been on iTunes since May 2007, to a new location. It's is the first time I've done this. The podcast and all the files therein is now located in my Sites folder on my iDisk.
Upon moving I changed my cover art and republished the audio files using the Podcast Maker software. It automatically 'pinged' to iTunes once completed.
It's been 48hrs and there is still no update on iTunes. I did the ping posted by Roger Wilmut1 using my iTunes i.d and it still came back stating the old url. I then did the second ping to the feed directly and it said podcast does not exist..?
I've read on Apple about a new feed URL command but to the life of me I really don't get it or understand how it's supposed to be done. Podcast Maker does everything for me and I can't read the raw .xml file.
It would be fab if someone in-the-know could help me out or explain things in a way I can grasp I am a techy but when it comes to coding/commands etc it's all a blur
My iTunes specific podcast number is: 253350746
My latest feed from Podcast Maker is: feed:file:///Volumes/io.creative/Sites/Pod-stories/podstories.xml
Cheers in advance. Hope this can be fixed up soon....
Marc

Hi Roger,
I made the change the day you posted the reply to this post. So it's been 5 days already...
The URLs I copied into the original post came from Podcast Maker, I just pasted directly from the software. The new URL/feed is the io.creative one - the address is on my iDisk which I got with my Mac Me.com account.
Podcast Maker allows to feed directly to the 'sites' folder in the iDisk, does it automatically. The old URL feed is on a friend's company server. But now that I have this iDisk I thought best to move over the podcast to there.
Thanks for the example. So i paste it into the top line of the channel section in the old .xml file? Do I leave the original feed address in the file or replace it with the new one? This area is not very clear in the Apple docs online.
I have both podcasts at the Lemonz website
New Feed:
http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcasts/?feed=http://homepage.mac.com/io.creative/Po d-stories/podstories.xml
Old Feed:
http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcasts/?feed=http://www.larasethno.com/podcast/pods tories.xml
Of course at present the new feed is not yet on the iTunes directory.
Cheers, Marc

Automatic updates? duh?

I have some music that's in my ipod, but not in my library in itunes. how do i update the rest of my music in itunes into my ipod without deleting the other music i have in there?
if i select "automatically update selected playlists" will it only update whatever changes in it? or will it delete everything else so that playlist i selected will be the only playlist in my ipod?
please reply, i'm very confused.
-me

you need to manually update.
selecting "automatically update selected playlists" will delete everything on the ipod except what is in the playlist(s) you select

Automatically update option disabled in iTunes summary - no push happening!

Changes I am making in Calendar and contacts does not appear to be pushing to my iPhone which is on 2.0. In iTunes summary page, the option to Automatically update the iPhone is disabled and unchecked - I can't change it - is this why the facility is not working. Also, in the Settings > Fetch menu it just says that Push is happening for Mail, I never had the option to select Calendars and Contacts as detailed in the Apple MobileMe tutorial. Can someone help, also perhaps explain how this Push thing is working - is it happening over 3G as I don't get the best 3G coverage and am inclined ot switch it off - will I still be eligiible for Push?

I deleted all my playlists selected for updating!!!

There is no music on my ipod and I can't figure out how to get the stuff from my library onto my ipod. I deleted all my original playlists thinking I was saving room. I know i'm an idiot. How do I get the music on there!! Help!!!

Open iTunes prefs -> iPod.
Select Automatically update all songs and playlists.

Forgot whether automatic updates are included when you update Flashplayer. Update was fine, just didn't see where to click to get automatic updates.

Forgot whether automatic updates are included when you update Flashplayer. Update was fine, just didn't see where to click to get automatic updates. Please advise whether I need to do anything or not. Thanks.

If you are using Windows:
You must be logged in from an Administrator account not a Standard account.
Click on START, then Click on CONTROL PANEL, then be sure the View is set to Large Icons not Category.
Click on the Flash Player Icon. The Flash Player Control Panel should come up.
Click on the UPDATES tab. Now you can verify or select automatic updating.

Stop Skype Automatic Update

I know there have already been threads for this, but I've looked, tried many solutions, and today skype once again downgraded itself to a newer version without my consent. Here are the steps I've taken to stop automatic updates:
- Disable automatic updates within skype options
- Disable Skype Updater services in services.msc
- Block 'download.skype.com' in my hosts file
- Delete any skype files in %temp%
After skype downgraded itself once again this morning (it does this every day now), the settings in skype options and services.msc had been reset, and there were more files in %temp% again. download.skype.com is still blocked in my hosts file, so I have no idea how it managed to downgrade itself this time. Did they change the download location since the old threads I've been reading were written?

Skype is now also updated by Windows Updates.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12050/how-can-i-update-skype-for-windows-desktop
To avoid this update to be pushed you need to hide the KB2876229 update in Windows Updates
