Sync'd files not showing up in Podcasts

Having two issues with podcasts. I am using OSX 10.10 beta and iPhone 6+ 8.0.2
I have many mp3 files that i import into iTunes and then change media type to podcast so that i can use the Podcast app on iPhone to play them with the skip ahead / skip back buttons.
First problem is that it sometimes takes multiple syncs before the files are transferred over to iPhone even though they are marked as new and unplayed.
Also, sometimes the file will be synced across to the iPhone and will NOT be shown in the pod cats app although they are there when i do spotlight search on the phone and are listed under podcasts. I have checked all the settings on the podcast app to show all episodes, etc but still having this issue.
I tried changing type to audiobook and again same issue arises in that takes many tries before the files are actually synced over and then not "seen" by the music app as audiobook files although they are clearly on the phone.
Any ideas?

I have subscribed to Podcasts in iTunes and I can confirm that (like RobHoward7) I also have some of those Podcasts showing up in the *Music library*, but mine also appear in the *Podcasts library* . I was under the impression that all the tags in a Podcast were added by the Podcast's creator, not iTunes. This is because Podcasts are not specific to iTunes and not controlled by iTunes, it simply lists them and +goes off to download them+ if asked for by the user. If so, that seems to suggest that it's not iTunes at fault.

As an enthusiast of Podcasts, I can say that for various reasons workarounds are definitely not the answer.
My older iPod, (30Gb video) has just returned from "battery replacement surgery" (well actually, the whole thing has been replaced, not repaired) and now some Podcasts are showing up in the music library whereas they did not do so before the repair. Perhaps this is a software problem, because I noticed that my "replacement" iPod has a different model number to the one I gave them.

S.O.S. Audio files not showing up in Podcast

OK, here's the deal. After I submit new audio files for inclusion in my podcast at iTunes, the new files show up in the xml file, but not in the Podcast. I use a third party application (Podcast Maker). Does Apple provide a native way of adding audio files to podcasts? I need to get this fixed fast. Thanks!

You can edit podcasts using GarageBand.

,pdf files not showing in iTunes podcast

I have always successfully included .pdf files as accompanying notes for my students' enhanced podcasts. It's always worked very smoothly and well - up to Feb 2009. Since then this function has ceased to be successful. I have had to create a separate page in my iWeb site for downloading .pdf files. Its a real pain for students as they can't get thei9r notes simultaneously with the podcast lecture. Can anyone please advise? Thanks

I am having the same problem with iWeb. This feature used to work. I confirmed that this is not an iTunes issue because I am successfully posting PDF files from another podcast publishing tool and it shows up as intended fine iTunes.

Podcasts not showing up as podcasts

My podcasts do not show up under Podcasts on my Ipod. They only show up for a brief time under Playlists/Recently Added. They also do not show up if I use the search function on my Ipod. How do I get podcasts to show up as podcasts? Also, I have already marked all as new.

I don't know if this will help, but I was experiencing the same problem. Searching the discussions didn't help other than to confirm that I was not alone. So, I started poking around.
Background
5th gen video iPod. on a Macbook Pro. iTunes 7.3.2. iPod 1.2.1
I had been manually copying podcasts to iPod. Noticed this weekend new podcasts weren't showing up under podcasts, some did show up under music, and videos weren't showing up at all.
My Solution:
selected iPod device. Selected Podcasts. Selected sync. (wasn't syncing before). choose a couple podcasts to sync. Clicked apply. podcasts synced. wiped out all my existing podcasts but the new ones showed up. Still no videos though. Chose Movies. chose sync. Got message something like "The iPod "<my iPod>" is synced with another iTunes Library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library." I chose no (cancel), because I didn't want to wipe everything out without thinking about it.
Now Podcasts and videos show up on the iPod.
Hope this helps.

Time column duration not showing for my podcast

the time column duration is not showing for my podcast shows on the iTunes Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/income-press-podcast-blogging/id500448874
For some odd reason it just stopped showing the duration.
Any help or ideas would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joey

Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/incomepresspodcast
You have no 'itunes:duration' tags in the feed, which are necesssary for the duration to show in the Store and when subscribing, though in that case the duration will show once the show has downloaded as the iTunes application will detect it from the file itself. In order to show the duration in the Store you need to add this tag, though I can't advise on how to go about it in Wordpress.

Synced videos do not show up on iPod

Every time I sync my iPod with iTunes, although iTunes says the videos are synced, they do not show up in the Video app on the iPod.
This is a fairly new problem. All these videos have been synced before and they all showed up just fine in the Video app, but as of late the iPod does not show them. Searching for them yields no results.
The videos are in a compatible format and do not have an extremely high definition. Again, I do not think the problem is with the videos, because previously I was able to view them all just fine.
I have at least 1G of memory left, 2G without syncing the videos.
I have erased and re-synced them in iTunes, to no avail. I can play the videos on the iPod from iTunes, but not on the actual iPod device. I'm using windows iTunes, and it is up to date. The iPod software is up to date. I don't want to do a restore because I've already done that multiple times for multiple issues, but if that's what I have to do, I will. It's a pretty old iPod. I'm syncing with a third-party Duracell cable, but I really don't think that's the problem.
I'm not sure what it means, but in iTunes I have checked the option that reads, "Prefer standard definition videos". Syncing with that option unchecked changes nothing so far as I can tell.
Thanks for all your help!

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

File not showing in SharePoint (IE) but visible in Explorer

I have a document library that has a single file not showing up that I can't seem to track down. I am hoping someone here might be able to offer something I haven't thought of.
The document library is very much 'stock'. Verisioning is turned on and minor revisions aren't viewable to folks without edit rights. I am the admin with full control to everything - as is the user this initially impacted. The file will show
in the Explorer view - but isn't viewable in an 'all files' file via the browser or when attempting to open via Excel. If we provide the full path/file it does open successfully in Excel and offer the Check Out option - but it won't show up
in the 'File Open' dialog.
I thought at first it might be a matter of not having a version checked in - but it isn't showing under "Manage files which have no checked in version" menu. I've gone through the various SharePoint view options and can't find anything there either.
What would make a single Excel file in such an ordinary document library not be visible to users with full control rights? We have roughly 80k files stored in SharePoint overall - so please don't read this as being our initial test of SharePoint.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Just to add a few more details. I have been able to add the file to a different library and they uploaded fine. The library in question is created off of a template and has 2 metadata fields. The fields are also being used in the other library, but that
was created from a different template.
The site and initial 4 libraries were created from a site template and then the library was added from a different library template. Checking ULS logs now, but doubtful I will find anything.

Cannot Sync, Required file not found!

Plz help. I just updated itunes and now when i plug in my ipod, it wont sync,it says, "The ipod "name withheld's ipod" cannot sync. required file not found."

It's possible that the iPod Photo Cache folder on your computer, which is created from syncing photos to your iPod, is interfering with the syncing.
Try deleting the folder from your computer. See this for details:
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
Then, try resyncing your iPod with your computer, and see if it is sucessful or not.

The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab

The option to sync wirelessly is not showing up on the summary tab when iphone is connected. Does anyone know why?

Here is a simple example
This square starts like this
No normaly once selected like that when you "grab the corner" the scroll bar will come up and adjust dimensions of the entire square. But when I do it it only changes one side like this
I want it to adjust all sizes like it used too without having to pull each individual corner to have a flat perspective.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

Walkman app not showing my downloaded podcast mp3 and m4a files

Hi all,
Hope someone can help me with an Issue on my Z3 Compact running Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware.
I have a Music folder on my SDCard which contains all my music files in subfolders and all these files appear in the Walkman app just fine.
I also have two folders called 'Podcasts' - one on the internal storage and one on the SDCard which contain mp3 and m4a files which I have downloaded using 3rd party apps.
I would like to listen to these podcast files using the Walkman app - but they will not appear in Walkman - even if I try the Folders options.but it still will not show either of the Podcast folders.
The weird thing is it lists voices and sounds / voices rom two different SatNav folders which are stored on the SDCard - but not the podcast folders!!
It even lists a folder of foreign language audio mp3 files - but not the podcast files.
The podcast files appear fine in PowerAmp whic even shows the tags and descriptions etc....So, why not Walkman?
I even tried unmounting and re-mounting the SDCard to see if it would rescan - but still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved!

Podcasts sync'd from iTunes not showing up in Podcast app

Another question from the iOS 6 upgrade ... I know there is a Podcasts app that you need for playing Podcasts in iOS 6 rather than in the Music app.
The problem is, the podcasts I subscribe to in iTunes on my PC are not showing up in the Podcasts app in iOS 6.
iTunes says they are sync'd to this phone, but they do not show up anywhere at all...
Ideas? Similar experiences? Any insight appreciated.
Thx
Terry

For what it's worth I just started with a clean slate (restored the phone to base iOS6) and all is magically well again.
