Some podcasts don't flow into smart folders

I've noticed that every once and awhile I have to do a COMMAND+I/INFO/Genre and relabel all the podcasts in itunes to be "podcasts". A few years back itunes never required that. For some reasons all podcasts don't automatically flow into the smart folder when podcast is picked as a genre -- so the only thing I can assume is that genre is not reliable anymore as a way to make podcasts flow into a smart folder, especially if the publisher doesn't describe it that way, and instead calls it "business podcast."

I have solved the problem! I wanted to document the solution here in case anyone else encounters the same problem. The key is to select all of the podcasts and click "Get Info" (this allows you to change IDL tags for the entire group all at once) and then type in a name for the album. Once the set of podcasts has an album name associated with them, they show up in the "podcast" section on my iPod Touch.

If someone speak spanish, I write it in spanish:
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.
¿Alguna sugerencia?
Gracias

Hello,
I have a similar problems. I have a Ipod 120gb and downloaded a number of podcasts to my ipod, which I saw yesterday, however, while reviewing one of them the ipod froze for a number of seconds and then all the podcasts disappeared except the one I was looking at.
Does anyone know why this happened.

Some podcasts don't sync

I've recently began having this problem - some podcast files don't get transfererd to my 60G video ipod. Some podcasts have new, unplayed files that don't seem to get recognized for transfer to the ipod, no mater what I do. I've tried various settings, including sync all podcasts; I've tried deleting the podcasts and redownloading them; etc.
I believe this problem may have started happening when I updated to iTunes 7.0 (and updated my iPod at the same time) but I'm not sure.

The podcast publisher says that there appears to be a technical issue with iTunes 7, however he believes that he has found a workaround. I will let you know when the problem is fixed, so maybe he can share the details with other publishers that are having problems.

Downloaded films/ some podcasts don't work

I'm not 100% sure this is too do with quicktime, but since i downloaded the latest version, whenever i try to watch a downloaded film through torrents, or some podcasts on itunes, after a few minutes of watching the screen freezes on a particular still, but the audio continues. this has only began to happen since i downloaded the latest version of quicktime!
help!

Some podcast video files are not compatible with play on iPod. iTunes should warn of this during sync, unless you have told it to not warn you by checking the do not tell me again box in the warning dialog.
Check with the podcast producer. Sometimes they have different versions of the files to subscribe to.

Some podcasts don't allow pause. Why?

On some of the podcasts (appears to be the ones that don't give duration), the listener cannot pause while listening. Why is this? Is there anything that can be done about it?

I can't say I've noticed the "will not pause" issue, but I have noticed the ones that don't give a time in the iTunes Store. I suggest you contact the Podcast's producers and tell them of the issue you have. It's their Podcast, they create it, control it and fill in all the boxes and so on that are needed. However, they may not realise there is a problem for the listener.
What Podcast programmes are you having an problem with? Maybe I have episodes I can test.

Installed mavericks server and now some users don't have access to folders!? Why and how do I fix it???

I have just upgraded the server and os to mavericks and now users that used to be able to open and save or even log in are now locked out with the server saying wrong password. I reset their password and still nothing. I created a new user and they can't even log in? Why now? And how do I fix this. It seems that some users and groups now don't have access and all that was done was to let the group open a shared folder that they have access before. I reset everything and am now very frustrated!!!

Hi
Seem to be an issue with Maverick
After trying to solve the issue with all tips i found here and on the net
I decided to go back to Mountain Lion for my server using TimeMachine backup, and stay with Maverick for my imacs
Work well again
Until Apple will communicate on it or deliver a patch, i would suggest to do the same

When I download a CD to iTunes, some of the songs go into different folders. How do I move them to the original CD?

When I import a CD into my iTunes, if there are songs by multiple artists they appear in different folders. Can I prevent this from happening or can I fix it afterwards?

Steve MacGuire aka turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

Can smart folders see color of emails?

I have yet to upgrade to Leopard, and I have a specific question about Mail. In Tiger, I can assign a color to an email message, and I use this as a way to set categories for emails. However, smart mailboxes in Tiger cannot sort emails by their color. Do smart mailboxes in mail have this ability?
Thanks,
Jack

No, Leopard hasn't added that feature. Best you can do is create a rule that adds a color to specific emails based on your criteria, then have it move that email to another folder. But this won't be a Smart folder but an actual one that the email moves to and out of your inbox. And if you are adding the colors manually then you can't even do that unless there is a specific criteria that all red emails have that you can make a rule from.
There is a third party app called MailTags:
http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html
That allows for all kinds of tagging and will then sort those tags into Smart folders. I haven't used it but I've had my eye on it. Just can't live with the $30 price tag. If it was $15 I'd have snapped it up.

Audio podcasts going into show folders, but not video podcasts

After upgrading to iTunes 7, I've noticed my video podcasts are not going into the proper show folders, but rather just being dumped into the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library/Podcasts/ directory. Audio podcasts are working fine though, and each get moved into their proper show folders. Its just highly annoying, because most of the video podcasts don't have descriptive names, just the date of release, so its confusing when I go to burn some off to DVD (my podcasts directory, I keep at around 10gigs, and thats just the current stuff). Its not just *.mov, but *.m4v's as well. Anyway to fix this?

I'm finding it really annoying, because its getting really disorganized.

Smart Folders & Unplayed Podcasts

Hello-
How do I configure the Smart Folders in iTunes to display or show the blue dots next to an unplayed podcast?
I’ve tried selecting different options under the View pull-down menu, but nothing seems to work. Thanks.

If you're looking for the blue dots on a Smart Playlist, they don't show there. The only place I've ever seen them is in the actual Podcast library.
If you want your smart list to contain podcasts you have not listened to, you could add a rule to your Smart list that states Play Count is o.

I have just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am looking for an email which I put into a folder on my Mac Pro. The smart folders have come across to the Air, but not the 'On my Mac' folders. Are they lost?

Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

After I updated to iOS 8, I noticed that while copying photos to my PC, I see photos being categorized into many folders. I also found some system files in each of the folders containing photos (in the name of Local Disk). Is this usual?

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.

How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.
I've subscribed to a number of podcasts & they appear in my iTunes window under the Podcasts section.
There i have
2 problems:
1st: I can't rearrange or group them so can listen consecutively to different topics.
I must listen to one, then come to the keyboard and select the next to start playing. Now, I know that I can get them to play consecutively once I've placed them into Playlist folders,
but that brings me to my second problem:
2) I can't drag and drop them into separate iTunes FOLDERS (by topics).
(Though I have been able to drag&drop separate items from my 'Music' section into iTunes playlist folders.)
But can't drag from Podcasts section into Playlists,
as everytime I try they just refuse to go in and scurry back to their starting position under Podcasts.
Zupwidiss? This can't be.
I would be grateful for your solution.
And also grateful if I could have easily found the solution explained
before I had to resort to bothering this forum with this question.
Just using my MacMini, Snow Lep.

Thanks very much.
You have reminded of the
difference between
Playlists and Playlist Folders:
One can only drag things from the Master list into PLAYLISTS.
And can only drag Playlists into Playlist Folders.
I'm an older man, and easily confused by these things.
Many thanks to my friend in Germany.
P.S. Your English is excellent.

Why the mail smart folders don't show the email?

Suddenly (as it looks to me) any smart folders of Mail show their email; someone does have anything to suggest?

Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and use the minus sign "-" at the bottom to remove any and all accounts that you don't want in Mail.
