Some Podcasts crash iPod

Local iPod store replaced my iPod last week with a new unit. I have been adding back my podcasts, but only half work correctly. When I select one that doesn't work, it causes the iPod to reset. I have Unsubscribed, deleted and re-subscribed, but it doesn't help. ??

Can I ask if anyone has had similar issues at the end of a podcast? I've done the 0:01 trick which makes them play but the iPod still dies at random places at the last 0:60 of the podcast.
An interesting tidbit is this doen't occur on a standard Stereo 192bps MP3. I did rip something conforming to the podcast standards (64bps) MP3 Mono.
I've been able to reproduce with 100% accuracy the 64bps Mono MP3 breaking the iPod. Note these were converted from a working MP3. My final test was to upsample a 64bps mono to another rate (in my test case 32/64bps AAC) Both the beginning and end crashes stop. I'd say this proves to a degree there is an issue with 64bps mono MP3. I've not tested further. The only problem here is a converted Podcast shows in ones smart playlists and no longer under podcast.

  • Apple Podcast crashes iPod Classic

    I've had a few problems with some video podcasts not working properly but I've normally put them down to third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file. However my recent issue has brought new concern as to what is going on with my iPod classic.
    The recent Apple Quick Tip of the Week - Tip 45: Searching the Dictionary, causes my iPod classic to reset. It's not just a occasional problem but happens everytime I run that file and exactly at the same spot each time.
    iPod Classic configuration:
    160GB version
    Serial Number: 8M7379DXYMX
    Model: MB150
    Version: 1.1.1 Mac
    Previously seen issues with cut outs and hangs with video podcasts from NAPP, e.g. Photoshop TV and PS Killer Tips. This is the first time a podcast has caused the iPod to completely reset though.

    Perhaps that's why Apple posted the update!
    You are probably correct when you suggest that "third party software generating the podcast not being configured correctly and creating a corrupted video file" has something to do with it. Maybe the people who create the Apple Quick Tip of the Week haven't checked to make sure what they do actually works.
    I had a video (converted by iTunes for the iPod) that caused my iPod 160GB to crash, twice. Since that video was not that important to me, I removed it and it will not go back on regardless of software updates. These things happen. However, to someone like me who grew up with vinyl records, the iPod is fantastic!

  • Playing podcast crashes iPod

    I'm having a strange problem. When I try to play a podcast from one particular series on my iPod, it crashes. The Apple logo comes up and the iPod restarts. This happens every single time I attempt to play any podcast from this series. However, these podcasts play just fine on my Mac in iTunes. Also, other podcasts will play perfectly on my iPod. Even more strange, the podcasts in question that don't work now USED to work just fine. I seem to remember the problem happening after the QT update or perhaps an iPod update - I'm not sure.
    Does anyone have a clue why this might be happening, and what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks.

    The 1.2 firmware added gapless playback, backlight dimmer, improved battery life, and the ability to play movies to your iPod. But if you want to revert back to an earlier firmware, I suppose you could just got to apple.com/support and then click the download section and download an earlier firmware. I suggest not doing this because you will loose all the features i stated above, and iTunes 7.X requires firmware 1.2 on the iPod 5g.
    As for now just turn off the EQ it will allow to play podcasts and it will make your batter last longer.
    Hope I could help.

    Hola, tengo un Ipod classic de 80GB, me he suscrito a algunos podcast y los he pasado a mi Ipod, pero no se cual sea la causa de que ya no veo algunos de ellos desde hace unos dias. Lo que recuerdo es solo haber conectado mi Ipod a la PC y descargar otros podcast. Los podcast que ya tenía no los he borrado de mi Ipod, en la sección de Podcast en Itunes aparecen esos podcast. he tratado de pasarlos nuevamente al Ipod, pero aparentemente hace la transferecia pero no lo veo en mi Ipod. No se si con esto, este duplicandolos.

    Try swiping your finger across the podcast then tap Delete.

  • IPod 20GB - Some Podcast's in iTunes will Sync and Some Wont?

    I have some Podcasts that are in my iTunes that will Sync with my iPod and some won't and I can't figure out how to do it? I've tried manually moving them, that doesn't work either?

    Can you mention an example podcast? Perhaps they are publishing a file format that is not compatible with iTunes. Can you play these podcasts in iTunes?

  • Ipod shuts down on some podcasts

    I have recently purchased a new ipod, 80gb, and I love it. I have upgraded from the 60gb. Only problem is that on some podcasts, not all, when I go into the podcast the ipod shuts down and I am unable to play the podcast. After a few seconds the apple comes on the screen. You can tell that something is going on with the ipod and a few seconds later the menu comes back up. This is really annoying. I have tried to remedy this by unsubscribing, deleting the podcast and subscribing again. Didn't work. Can anyone help me with this?

    Is this what you refer to?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

    Try to do a hard reboot (no data is lost) by holding down the home and power buttons at the same time untilyou see the Apple logo. Then, let go of both buttons. If that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod and do NOT restore from a backup. This will erase your data, but you can sync back everything except app data and settings from iTunes.

  • Some Podcast Playlists not syncing from itunes to ipod

    There's no problem with the actual podcasts syncing to my ipod and they play on the ipod.  The playlists are the same in both itunes and the list of podcast playlists on the ipod tab in itunes.  I've reset the plays, deselected and reselected, set them to not auto delete.  I've 'Marked as Watched' and then 'Marked as Unwatched'.  All the playlists are set up the same way.  I've tried sycing using both methods of 1, using the 'File> Devices>Sync xxxx etc and 2, the sync tab in bottom right corner of the 'Podcasts' tab(ipod tab in itunes when ipod connected).

    Just a stab:
    The song titles need to have a check mark next to them in order to sync.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • Can't delete podcasts from iPod Touch!!!  They still remain using space!!

    Ok ok, look. I can make them not SHOW UP anymore, but they are STILL ON THE IPOD.
    If I make a smart playlist where podcast=true and move it to the ipod, i can SEE they are still on the ipod!! But you cannot delete files from the smart playlist!!
    I dont want to delete them from iTunes because I want to still have them archived on my computer.
    If i deselect all podcasts from the sync menu, then sync, they are only removed from the podcasts display on the ipod... the actual files are still taking up space on the ipod
    APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS. some of us WANT manual control of the files, not just sync this and that.
    right now, my ONLY solution I can find is to restore the ipod, reload all my music i want to keep, reload my apps, etc etc.
    ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE SOME PODCASTS!!!
    Does ANYONE have a workaround?!?!

    just to say, you can delete items from itunes, and still have them stored on your computer, just click 'keep file' and it will be removed from itunes yet still be stored in the podcast file (or songs etc.)
    i'm not sure whether this will solve your problem, and i haven't had much experience with smart playlists, so i'm not sure how to get them to do what you want, but I have some podcasts that i want to sync automatically, and others that i don't. last night i worked out how to do it.
    1. my ipod is set to sync manually
    2. under the podcasts tab, it is set to sync '10 least recent unplayed' (there are several different options to choose to your requirements) episodes of selected podcasts.
    3. in the podcasts boxes, the ones i want to sync are checked.
    4. these now sync to my ipod.
    5. but, because i am manually managing my songs etc. i can still drag and drop any others that i want to my ipod.
    but i'm a bit confused. you are using smart playlists to transfer your podcasts to your ipod. as i say, i'm not too familiar with smart playlists, but is there a reason why you don't just drag and drop them to the ipod/sync them using just the podcast syncing feature?

  • Cannot delete podcast on iPod

    Hello,
    I need to add me into this AD, I cannot delete Podcast from my iPOD, using different computer and manually sync, deleted Podcast on my computer (all), but older Podcast still appear in my iPOD and even if I re-subscribe to the Podcast, the Podcast will not be visible in iTunes or even is able to be deleted. Please get a workaround done.
    KN

    By accident (I have read the manual), and I have found a solution.
    You've saved some Podcast on your iPod but these Podcast doen't appear in your iTunes Libary so you're not able to delete them from your iPod.
    Just opoen the Folder Movies/Podcast on your iPOD
    The Podcast will be shown on your iPod
    Swipe with your finger from left to right or rigth to left over the podcast; you will see that your iPod will open the "Edit" menue were you're able to delete selected Podcast.
    Have fun.

  • Sync podcasts with iPod touch 4gen

    my iPod touch 4gen will no longer sync podcasts without the podcast app. app store says it requires iOS7 to get podcast app. iPod update says it has the latest iOS, 6.1.6. i have tried to manually update, keeps saying i have the latest. any suggestions? a workaround the still get new podcasts? thanks!

    You should be able to download the app by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
