Sync arbitrary number of episodes of podcasts (not 1, 3, 5, 10 or all)

Hi - I'd like to synchronize a user-defined number of episodes of podcasts with my iPod and not be restricted to 1, 3, 5 10 or all (whatever is the sync logic). This is strange that this is not just a parameter for users to decide. Did I miss something ?
Thanks

Thanks but that does not solve my problem. I have 20 different podcasts feeds and each of them produces one episode a day (or every couple of days) and I want to have all the time the latest 30 (e.g.) episodes of all podcasts by just plugging my iPod and letting it getting sync'd. What you suggest would require manual selection every day and this is what I'm trying to avoid

Episodes of Podcast not showing up when tested in iTunes

My friends and I have recently started producing a weekly radio show and are interested in adding the show to iTunes. The method we're currently using is to add the episodes to a Souncloud account, link the episodes to a Tumblr page as an audio file, and then connect the Tumblr feed to our Feedburner account and the ultimately submit that to iTunes.
When testing the feed by putting the Feedburner link into iTunes under "Subscribe to Podcast," the feed shows up but no episodes are listed. I've tested the feed on Feedvalidator and it says that it's valid however no episodes are showing up. I'm not sure what to change. Any tips?

Your feed does not have any 'enclosure' tags containing the URLs of your media files, as required by iTunes. The most likely explanation for this is that you are using URLs beginning https - you must use http, and the link must be a direct link to the media file, not to an embedded player or a forced download.

Certain episodes of podcasts won't sync while others sync perfectly fine

Recently I have run into a problem where certain episodes of podcasts dont sync while others sync perfectly fine. How can I fix this? The last time one of my video podcasts updated was October 31s, there are about 5 episodes a day. It is the same with several of my podcasts. I have it set to sync all. They are mostly video podcasts, all of my videos are set to sync and I only listen to podcasts from the iTunes store. The episode do not exist anywhere on my iPod, I have looked. The only error message I get is the standard Windows 7 Format Error. I have asked this question before, but someone clicked correct answer so no one who could help is looking at it since they think it is solved.

How do your have your iPod configured to sync podcasts from under your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes? If you are unsure of how to locate this tab, click on your iPod from under the list of device in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. Now locate the Podcast tab along the top.

Not showing past episodes of podcasts. i.e. Comedu Bang Bang shows 301 episodes but I can only see ten. WHY?

Not showing past episodes of podcasts. i.e. Comedu Bang Bang shows 301 episodes but I can only see ten. WHY?

When I search the store for 'Comedy Bang Bang', on the results screen I get :
To the far right of the Podcast Episodes heading is a 'see all' button/link. Or clicking on the podcast name above it takes me to that podcast's episodes.
On the list for that particular podcast I see whitespace if I scroll down the screen too quickly, but scrolling back gets them to (slowly) appear.

In iTunes, podcasts are sorted in the library alphabetically. In Version 1.2.1, there is no order and there are duplicates. Can you sort the library? and how do you remove duplicates of the same podcast (not episode)?

Video Podcasts Not Syncing From my iPad Mini to iTunes for Windows

Hello all. I have the iPad Mini, and recently have been downloading my Podcasts there.
It occurred to me that in case something happens to my iPad, I should have my Podcasts backed up to my computer. So, i downloaded iTunes for Windows on my computer. I plugged my iPad Mini into my computer and synced it, so that my Podcasts would sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library.
I noticed that all of my podcasts did sync, except for the 3 video podcasts I have. None of the video podcasts synced.
Anyone know how I can get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to my iTunes Library?
Thank you in advance!

Just wanted to kick my question back up. to see if anyone had any idea how to get my video podcasts to sync from my iPad Mini to iTunes on my computer.
Audio podcasts seem to be syncing fine. Just the video podcasts are not.
Thanks.

Synced podcasts not showing unless the app is reconnected to a network

If I sync podcasts and don't open the app before getting off the network (say, getting on the subway) the podcasts will not appear in the app until I get back on a network. Is this something that can be fixed on my end or just another flaw in this app? (I miss the days when iTunes covered my podcasts.)
I've also unsubscribed to my podcasts on my iPhone because it's wrecked havoc on my syncing with my Macbook. I'm not sure if this is why I'm having this problem.

If it's not in the app store, it's not approved for the iPad.

I have a second generation nano. I have several podcasts in my library that will not sync to the nano. These podcasts all have a half cirlce icon to the left of the name in my itunes library. Whats up?

Well I could do that but that kinda defeats the purpose of paying $600 bucks for this piece of **** that I'm supposed to be able to dump 32 gigs (well u know what I mean) of music on and manage automatically the through this supposedly wonderful piece of software that's supposed to do most of that for you. Okay I get that computers are only as smart as the people using them... Which apparently is not that smart in this case... But ya thanks for the advice that my two year old daughter could have given me. Anyone else?

Podcast not showing all the episodes in my feed

When i created my podcast i think i selected to only keep the latest 10 episodes by mistake. How could i correct this without deleting my current podcast and resubmitting a new feed to itunes?
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
right now its showing episodes 44 and up. i'd like it to start at 1 and keep them all.
Thanks for the help.
Marc

iTunes is indeed using the second feed you list but this immediately redirects to the first feed when you enter the URL in a browser. Presumably you have a redirect in place on the server? There are 115 episodes in the Store, and though I didn't count the ones in the feed they seem to match. So it all seems to be working and you could probably just leave it alone - since you have added episodes to the feed and iTunes has (presumably) picked then all up, the redirect seems to be working there OK. (Next time you add an episode to the feed, make sure it does indeed appear in the Store - after a couple of days - and when subscribing - this latter is immediate).
If you really want to change iTunes to the feed directly you are going to have to go through a bit of a process:
1. Copy the feed at http://construct.wickedbad.net/feed/podcast to the other location at
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
2. Add the redirect tag to this copy feed as indicated here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
3. Remove the server redirect.
4. Leave the copy feed in place until iTunes has swapped over (check this by subscribing from the Store page, clicking the line for your podcast (not an episode) and clicking the 'i' button at the right-hand end.

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes even though I already have another episode working on my ipod classic and it says it

How is your iPod configured to sync TV Shows? What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's TV Shows configuration tab in iTunes?
No error messsages when you sync your Classic with iTunes? Try resetting all warnings with the device by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset warnings. Then resync your device to see if any errors appears.

Podcasts Not "Listened To" Anymore on New Computer

I had a complete hard drive failure recently and, long story short, now have a fresh install of Windows on a blank primary drive. Luckily for me, I kept all of my media including my iTunes folder on an unaffected secondary drive.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, and usually when I start a podcast I go back and listen too ALL of the episodes... which means I am not always current on my podcasts and iTunes being able to keep track of which episodes are listened to and which aren't is a fairly important feature to me. That being said, when I reloaded my iTunes today it loaded in all of my podcasts and music with no issues but all of the episodes are marked as unlistened. All 6,600+ of them.
Does anyone know any way to get play counts/listened to information back? I have a few random files I managed to save from my files before my drive became unsalvageable... if anyone knows which iTunes file keeps track of played/unplayed information I may be able to retrieve it.
How is this not a thing that is synced in iCloud yet? I thought for sure that would be the case by now and hadn't really worried about it until I realized it was going to be a problem today.
Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You can only register a product once. That is not the same as activating a product, which is what you will use the serial number for. As long as you have the serial number you should be able to download the installation files and use the serial number to activate. You will have to figure out whether it is for CS5 or CS5.5 though.

Podcast not showing up in itunes search after 1 week

i submitted my podcast with one episode and it was accepted on 17 july. i am able to get to it in the itunes store by using the url as provided in the email.
iTunes Store Welcome
Dear Podcast Owner
Your podcast, located at [ http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown ], has been approved. You should expect to see it in iTunes within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=260194221
i have put an icon with that url in my blog (meterdown.wordpress.com) and that works fine. people are taken to the podcast in the itunes store and can subscribe.
however when i search the store, my podcast is not turning up either by podcast name (meter down) or by author/artist name (kabi) or by keyword (taxi, bombay, hindi).
I can ping using the podcast ID (id=nnn) and it returns the podcast feed url (http://feeds.feedburner.com/meterdown) and the podcast ID.
it doesn't list an episode however. is it supposed to?
my main question is "why am i not showing up in the search?"
is there something wrong in my xml? I host at switchpod and run it thru feedburner and I use the feedburner feed.
i have read and read the forums here, feedburner, podcast alley and also am emailing switchpod support. still can't figure it out.
thanks

ssukotto,
Thanks for the information. What you mention is boilerplate that is automatically sent when a new podcast is approved. I also quoted it like scripture before diving deeper into researching this issue.
The research into this problem suggests that there is a minimum number of podcasts in order to be included in the search index (or at least the search results) whether it's undocumented or unintentional.
Case in point, Meter Down posted his first complaint that his podcast hadn't shown up in the search even after a week (far outside the 24-48 hours you mention and that is documented)..that was a week ago. A total of at least two weeks that his podcast could not be found by searching by the exact title. His podcast showed up search within a day after adding his second episode (yesterday).
Jerry Pine posted July 17 that his podcast "Everything Algae" had been approved July 13 but couldn't be found by searching...even by name. July 28th, he added a second episode as a test...and his podcast became searchable.
There are several others who went for days or weeks without being listed in search results by even searching for their exact podcast title...common trait between all of them was that they only had one episode. They added a second episode and within the day they show up in search results.
There are others that had newly submitted podcasts whose podcasts showed up within the 24-48 hours timeframe...but they had at least two episodes.
I'm just providing the facts...could be coincidence that they just happened to be searchable just after posting a second episode.
I'd invite you to read through and share with the iTunes podcast developers the several thread from various people who have reported problems with having a searchable podcasts and draw your own conclusions.

Podcast Not Showing up in Podcast section

I recently subscribed to Man and Wife podcast directly from the iTunes store. It shows me the number of unwatched episodes in the Podcast sections but the episodes themselves do not show up. I only see the original subscription although I've donloaded several episodes. I can only find them by looking in the recently added. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Is the list expanded? Click on triangle next to podcast name to expand list.
Some more info.
Blue next to episode indicates not played yet, changes when play has started
Play count updates after episode plays through completely
Number to right of podcast name indicates number of unplayed episodes.

Podcast not deleting

Hi,
my podcasts is not syncing correctly...
I set it to "keep all unplayed episodes" on the itunes setting
and I set "sync all unplayed episodes" on the ipod
Now I think with itunes 6... it should delete all the podcast that has been played and keep all the unplayed ones and sync it to the ipod...
But now with itunes 7... it always keep all the podcast even though it has been played (no blue dots)
Secondly, I just notice... I went into podcast library there is no podcast,because I delete all that has been played...
But then I made a smart playlist with "my rating is 0 stars" rule... guess what... i can see about 60 something podcasts that I deleted a long time ago... And it still can be played... now... I can't find these in music, video, or podcast library... how am I suppose to delete these files? The Only thing I can do is to uncheck them and delete them directly from the folder/hardrive... As it turns out it is still in my ipod...
so my questions are
1 how to sync my podcast and automatically delete all played podcast?
2 how do I delete these podcast that I can't find in the library? the only way for me to find these "hidden" podcasts is by using smart playlist... but i can't delete from smart playlist...
Now in the smart playlist, it still show these "hidden" podcast, it show the ! sign, but i can't delete them...
thanks
