Video Podcast on iPod Classic vs iPhone 4

Some video podcasts will not load onto my iPod classic but WILL on my iPhone 4. I'm using iTunes 10 on a macbook. i read on this forum about converting video podcasts to iPod format, and that it doesn't always work. I'm just trying to find out why there is a difference between the iPod and the iPhone.
THANKS

MORE INFO:
I have also noticed that of the 4 video podcasts I have tried to download on my iPod classic, the only one that was successful had a bit rate, total bit rate, and size in MB that was approx double of what the other three had. I also have, since my last post, tried to convert the podcasts to an " iPod version" from the ADVANCED drop down menu in the iTunes toolbar, but it made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated!

Trying to add video podcasts to iPod Classic

I'm trying to add video podcasts to my iPod Classic 160GB. I can see them in the podcast summary page get added in the sync, but I can not find them on my iPod. I have 5 TV shows added to it and can find them under Videos but when I add the video podcasts they do not show up in the Podcasts section. Is there something I can do?

They should appear under Podcasts if they successfully synced over to the device. I assume you didn't see any error messages when you synced these video podcasts over to your device?
To be sure, reset sync warnings on the iPod by right->clicking on it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset Warnings. Then resync the iPod.

Is album artist sort available on iPod classic now?

If I buy an iPod Classic today, is there an option to have artists sorted by album artist? Thank you

I'm fairly certain there have been no changes to the classic firmware.
The workaround is to set as a compilation or set a common artist.

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!

HT1678 Sorting photos in iPod Classic.

Is there any way to sort photos in an iPod classic by file name instead of file date? I am synching the photos from a folder on my hard drive, not via iPhoto.

Unable to sync video podcast to ipod classic

I have subscribed to a video podcast "Walk in the Word". The very first one sync'd to my ipod. Ever since, they download to my itunes library just fine, but they will not sync to my ipod classic 160gb. I have talked to tech support and have deleted the podcasts and redownloaded. Refreshed the podcasts, deauthorized and reauthorized and have up to date software. Still won't sync. I have gone into the podcast inquiry to "report a concern", perhaps there is an encoding issue with
the podcast producer. Does anybody have any suggestions that may help? Thank you

I think I may have found the problem. Apparently, ITunes cannot sync HD podcasts. Apple...why???

Problems with TED video podcast in ipod classic 80gb

I have a lot of TED video podcast on my itunes on PC but i can't listen and view it on my ipod, i've red somewhere that video podcast with 46kbps are no longer supported by ipod classic? is that right?
there are any solutions?
please help me, i'm really interested in it

Yes, I'm still stuck too.
Some of my TED videos showed up in iTunes under "movies" when I migrated to a new computer; likely iTunes found the native files. These movies play fine but re-subscribing to the TED video podcast and trying to play them under "podcasts" on my iPod Classic (120 gb), they still won't play (screen goes black for about 1 sec, then it skips to the next podcast...repeat until entire list is done).
I saw someone post about a "convert to iPod", but I can't find that option in iTunes (windows 8, iTunes 11)
Thoughts?

Sorting podcast on iPod by release date

I have been googling solution for this problem but none of the solution that people suggesting really works. So the problem is I can sort podcasts by release date in iTunes but on my iPod I cannot. iPod automatically sorts all the episodes by name which is not what I want. I need a chronical order.
Is there any way to sort podcasts by release dates on iPod touch?
Thanks,

I'd also like to be able to sort contacts by Business->User (like iTunes does with albums->songs).
Address Book also needs some kind of "Business"-merging of all people inside a single business (so we don't have to repeat all information such as fax, URL, address, etc).

Sorting podcasts on Ipod nano 3rd

Is there a way to sort podcasts from oldest to newest, instead of the newest to oldest that it is currently set on? While I am working sometimes I am not able to switch to newest podcast before it automatically goes to the older one, so this would really help me out.
Thanks.

Here is my situation. I downloaded some podcasts from iTunes on my PC. I transferred them to my Mac so I could put them on my iPod. Although they were poscasts, they were still mp3s. I dragged them onto my iPod into the main library and listened to them, but now I can't delete them!
When I plug my iPod up to update the library, they don't show up anywhere in the iPod library. But whwn the iPod is dosconnected, I can do a search and find them.
When I click the iPod icon in iTunes and look at the disk usage, there are somethings taking up space as "other", around 138 MB, but I now have no way to delete them. I don't have this problem with any other mp3's, just these two that were Podcasts.
Short of restoring the entire iPod and deleting everything, how can I delete these stupid MP3's.

IPod classic - sort order of podcasts

I have a new iPod Classic 160 GB. Love it so far, but it has one annoying thing. In iTunes, I have my podcasts sorted from oldest to newest. There are some podcasts, like news and training podcasts that need to be listened from oldest to newest or the content gets confusing when listening out of order. When I sync podcasts to my iPod, it refuses to sort from oldest to newest (even though when I look at the sort order of my iPod in iTunes it does show the order correct, just not on the actual iPod). So when I start a podcast, it automatically plays going from newest to oldest, which is not what I want. Any way I can change that?

This drives me crazy as well. I hope they fix this in a firmware update.

IPod Classic and podcast sorting

Just curious...is there any way to force an iPod classic (or a touch for that matter!) to display podcasts in the order they're published, instead of going from newest to oldest? I'm a bit tired of making custom playlists for my multi-part radio show podcasts every time I want to hear them in order. >.>
Any thoughts? Using latest version of iTunes, latest firmware on my 120 GB classic, and latest 3.1 OS on my touch.

Firmware update v.1.0.3 changed the way TV Episodes are listed on the iPod. They are now listed by Release Date. According to Apple, that is how they were supposed to be listed.
So you have three options:
1. Set up playlists for each of your TV Shows and drag them into them in order.
2. Use a program like Tagger (PC), AtomicParsley (PC & MAC), or Lostify (MAC) to add the release dates to your TV Show files - I recommend using Atomic Parsley with a batch file to add all the dates en-mass, of course you'll either need to use fake dates or look them up on a website like imDB.
3. Ignore the problem and hunt and peck for your TV Shows in correct order in hopes that Apple will change their minds and change it back to the way it was before. I wouldn't recommend this option.

Itunes will not allow me to add newly purchased songs to my ipod classic, i have no problems with adding free podcasts but anything that i have purchasedd when i drag it over to ipod the little red circle with line through it stops me. what has gone wrong

i just started using this netbook for itunes at first it wouldnt let me purchase anything just free podcasts etc but i got that sorted it was just a matter of resetting the security questions because i hadnt made a purchased from this computer before. now it is allowing me to purchase no problem but itunes will not let me add my purchases to my ipod classic??? i can add all the free podcasts i want but anything that has been purchased is blocked from being added.my ipod show up in itunes but only as a summary thing i cant actually look through my music on the ipod in itunes on this computer

Podcast & Audiobook Playback Options on iPod Classic?

I recently got a new iPod Classic (7th Gen) as an anniversary gift, but I've been having trouble with how it handles Podcasts & Audiobooks - the iPod I used to have was a couple of generations older (I think 5th Gen?). Basically the two biggest issues I have are:
1. Podcasts - the older iPod used to play just a single episode, and then exit back to the main menu once the episode was over (unless I queued several episodes together in a playlist). The new iPods treat podcasts like an album, and continue playing the next track. This wouldn't be an issue, except that podcasts are sorted in newest -> oldest order, such that it will play Episode 13, then move on to the next track which is Episode 12, and I have to stop it, go back to the menu, and select Episode 14. Is there any way to get the order to sort ascending (changing it in iTunes didn't appear to affect the order on the iPod at all)? Or at least an option to play only one episode at a time and not automatically cycle through them?
2. Audiobooks - I classified my audiobooks into various genres such as "Classics", "Fantasy", "SciFi", etc. in iTunes, and on the old iPod, these genres would show up under Music->Genres in the iPod menu (alongside Rock, Pop, etc.). This appears to no longer be the case. Similarly, audiobook authors no longer appear in the list of Artists and audiobook titles no longer show under Albums. It appears the only way to access audiobooks now is through the
Music->Audiobooks menu? And unfortunately it appears as though the Audiobooks menu only lists individual track names, and not Artist or Album? To make matters worse, the track names are being sorted alphabetically and ignoring the Disc # & Track # metadata stored in iTunes. Is there any way to fix any of this?
Any help would be appreciated! I've poked around in the settings both on the iPod itself and in iTunes with the iPod connected, but I haven't found a way to correct any of these issues yet.

I've found a workaround for this problem: the Join Together v5.1 iTunes script from Doug's AppleScripts combine the segments into two large AAC files.
Now it's OK if the iPod stops playing segments after they finish because they're hours long instead of minutes.

IPod Classic sorting TV episodes incorrectly???

Hi,
I have an iPod Classic that is listing TV episodes by release date insread of episode number.
A Nano synced with the same content has arranged everything by episode number.
Both iPod's are normally synced to indows computers, but the video content was from a MacBook.
There is a lot of chatter about this issue, though no solutions.
Can anybody help?

I've found out some more since my last post in this thread...
As of firmware 1.0.3 it appears that TV shows are ordered by release date. Sadly the iTunes interface does not provide a way to update these values but there are 3rd party tools that can help. Lostify apparently does the trick for Mac users, though I've no practical experience being stuck in the PC universe. PC users might like to try Tagger....
Tagger needs a bit of effort to get working so for PC users I'll share my experience. The download is RAR compressed so first you need an unpacker for that - I plumped for 7-Zip. Tagger relies on a working Java RunTime Envionment, not just the browser plug-ins so I headed off to java.sun.com for the *JDK 6 Update 3*. Once Tagger is up & running it's still not clear exactly how you are supposed to enter the date but further seaching revealed that it should be in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The good news is, it works! I've only done one of my series so far but the episodes are now in the correct order. Tagger also includes options to change all sorts of other hidden attributes which aren't exposed in the iTunes interface, e.g. Podcast details, ratings etc.
