Sync'ing Podcasts and manually moving them to iPod

Brand new 3G Nano and I've gone through and subscribed to some podcasts and initially everything went fine--- then they started disappearing.
I figured out that if I listened to or watched any portion of a podcast it would be deleted off my iPod next sync, so I just turned off the sync option and that was that. ( I checked and yes, I do have the 'save all' option selected in prefs )
Now the issue is that I had iTunes download a number of back episodes of several podcasts and no matter what I can't get all of them to copy over. One podcast specifically:
I have 5 eps of the show. When I just copy over the whole folder only two of them copy onto my iPod (same thing if I try using sync to do it). No matter what I try they will not copy over. One at a time. Deleting all the eps off the iPod first and then going one at at time... all the same result.
Any ideas? Any suggestions?
Thanks

bump.
I have the same issue. Now that I've turned on syncing for my podcasts I can not manually add specific episodes I might like. If I turn off syncing for that podcast it will not allow me to manually select episodes. The 'updating' bar shows up, but the podcasts(netcasts?) do not show up on my iPod. Was hoping this was a bug that would be addressed in the last two updates.
Thank you

    ok I got my pictures in the albums I want but now how do I re sync my iPad and iPhone with them?

    Are you using iCloud Photo Library? Then syncing is automatic and your mobile devices should be showing the same albums automatically.
    See:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    If you are not sing iCloud Photo Library, use iTunes to sync selected albums to your mobile devices.
    For more information and instructions for transferring photos using iTunes, open iTunes, then choose Help > iTunes Help, or see:  iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • Syncing music, podcasts and movies for iPhone

    I want to manually manage my music and movies but sync my podcasts. Is this possible? Once I change one setting it changes the rest to what I do not want.

    If you put your ipod in manually manage then all content that can be used in that capacity e.g. music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, has to moved in that manner. the only thing that will sync automatically in manually manage is applications.
    -You could always use playlists if you only like certain stuff on your device. I have 16,000 songs and my iPhone obviously wont hold that much. So, i created an iPhone playlist and changed my sync preferences so that only the one playlist syncs to the iPhone when i plug it in.

  • How do I set iTunes to sync just podcasts and not erase music

    How do I set up iTune to sync just my podcast and videos without syncing my music which I have found erases all the MP3s that I have saved?
    Thanks

    I am guessing you are set for manaul syncing, not auto-sync.
    Make a playlist with the podcasts/videos you want, select the whole thing, and drag it into the iPod area after you connect it. This is one of the drawbacks of using manual sync - you have to do it manually.

  • How come the latest version of firefox (4.0) lost the feature of saving the bookmarks whenever I exit the browser? Now the only option is actually closing all the bookmarks and manually opening them again.

    With previous versions of Firefox, I was always asked this question whenever I exit the web browser and turning my laptop off: Do you want to save your bookmarks?... At least that was the message of the question. Right now, my only option is actually closing all the bookmarks and manually opening each one of them or starting from a saved bookmark list.
    Thanks!

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

  • ITunes trying to sync old podcasts (and failing!)

    I have a 30GB video iPod. Trying and it failing to sync with iTunes on MacBook Pro. Same problems happen with new shuffle so would seem to be an iTunes problem.
    First of all it says some items in the iTunes library including xxxx were not copied because they could not be found. It then gives a list of OLD podcasts that I can't find in iTunes or in finder.
    Is there a corrupt file that tells iTunes to look for old podcasts to sync with?
    It gets so far and then says "attempting to copy to the disk yyyyyy failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
    However it is NOT an iPod problem. The same iPod will sync fine with iTunes on a windows PC and a Shuffle suffers the same problem with this MacBook Pro.
    TIA

    Welcome to the Palm Support Community Emily, but I'm at a loss as to what you are asking... 
    What exactly is "the new operating system"?   Windows 7?   If so, what bit depth is it?  32bit or 64bit?
    What is "that file" you're referring to that you think is a .dll?   Your Contacts and Calendar data?
    What is "Outlook 7"?   Microsoft Outlook 2007?
    If indeed you've just obtained Windows 7, and it's the 64bit version, there is a way to sync the TX via a wireless method - either BlueTooth or Wifi.
    Please read the thread I wrote on "How to sync the TX and Vista64" at the top of this section.  It's very similar to Windows 7.

  • How do I delete some podcast and TV shows from my ipod?

    Im having trouble freeing up some space on my ipod so that I can download more TV shows on it. How do I delete the old stuff?

    I use automatic sync, but only checked songs/podcasts. When I had a Classic 160, I synced everything, because I had the space. Either way, my podcasts would be removed from the iPod after I had listened to them, but I don't know if TV shows do that too. If not, you can always uncheck them in iTunes after you are done, and they will be off the iPod, but still in iTunes. You can also manually sync. Instructions for both are in the manual, which you can download here.
    By the way, I haven't used my Nano 6th gen for TV, but I've heard it doesn't support video. I know that my video podcasts don't work. Are you using an older Nano?

  • I can't get a TV Show manually moved onto my iPod!

    Okay, so my computer's hard drive doesnt' have enough space for me to back up the entirety of what I have on my iPod (I have the 80GB Classic). I just bought a season of a TV Show (accidentally twice but I contacted support about that) but when I try to manually move the episodes onto my ipod in iTunes it says this: the iPod "my ipod's name" is currently linked to another iTunes library on the computer "my computers' name". In order to copy this TV show to this iPod you must link this iPod with this iTunes library. Doing this will remove 15 videos, including (name of one of the movies I have on it), from this iPod.
    I don't want this to happen, I don't have my stuff backed up, so why would I want to erase it? How do I get this one freaking tv show onto my iPod? I have it set to move manually and when I go to try to just sync it not manually it says it will erase everything and replace it with what I have in the library, which is the one tv show I just downloaded, which obviously I don't want to do.
    Am I just sol on this?

    I've always done manually manage, where I just drag it and drop it into my iPod, hope that makes sense. But when I try to do it this time it says what I listed above and when I try to uncheck the manually manage it says that all existing stuff on my iPod, which would be EVERYTHING since none of it is backed up right now, would be removed and replaced with this one thing, which I don't want either.
    And it keeps saying my Ipod is currently linked to another library on my computer but I don't see any other ITunes library other than the one that has this one tv show on it. How do I find this phantom mystery library?

  • Can't sync my podcast smart playlist(s) to my ipod

    I created a smart playlist to hold my podcasts, which would sync to my ipod when I was using the previous version of itunes, but after installing itunes 9 I can no longer get that playlist to sync to my ipod. I have tried both unplugging and replugging back in my ipod as well as restore factory settings and reloading everything back onto the ipod, still no luck. Does anyone know how I can solve this or if there will be a patch for itunes 9 to resolve this as well as some of the problems experienced with syncing with devices like the apple tv.

    Check out this article: http://www.gotknowhow.com/articles/how-to-get-podcast-playlists-to-sync-in-itune s-9.aspx
    I was in the same boat and 20 minutes on the phone with an Apple Product Specialist and we figured it out.
    Apple changed the sync behavior of iTunes, because what we all have been doing was a workaround for an old bug we didn't recognize as such. We abandoned syncing podcasts using the Podcasts tab because it didn't give us the control that Smart Playlists gave us. We discovered that iTunes would sync our podcast playlists under the music tab.
    That was fixed, though I wish it had been covered during the iTunes demo in the Keynote.
    Use the Music tab to sync songs and other files you find in your Music library. Use the Podcasts tab to sync podcast episodes you find in your Podcasts library. Both tabs have sections listing all of your playlists. On the Podcasts tab, you may have to scroll to the bottom.
    Next, Turn OFF the "Automatically include" option. This is simple syncing. If you want more control, turn this off and select the Smart Playlists you've defined using the bottom section.
    I found that all of the playlists I used to sync were still selected in this lower section. As soon as I turned of the "Automatically include" option, everything was back to normal.
    FYI, I love having the "Automatically fill free space with songs" option on the music tab. Now as I listen to podcasts and they are removed from the Smart Playlists, I get more music and no wasted space on my device.

  • IPhone 4: When playing a podcast and I exit it closes ipod.

    Question: When I'm listening to my iPod podcast and I go to my mail (for example) it closes or pauses my iPod podcast. Is it suppose to do that? I thought it was suppose to run just like Pandora in the background?!

    Do you play 'Video' podcast?
    If you are playing a video, it suspends as you close the ipod app.
    This happens even in music with video such as video clip.

  • I assigned specific custom ringtones to specific contacts on my iPhone 4. When I sync my new iPhone 5, will those contacts automatically still have those ringtones assigned to them, or will I have to go into each contact and manually reassign them again?

    Just wondering if it's possible to sync iPhone 5 in a way that automatically keeps my contacts from my iPhone 4 with the same custom ringtones. Or will I have to re-assign them all manually?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • What's the diff btwn: Sync only chkd songs & videos and Manually manage them?

    There's no way to logically logic this out. Sounds like a Mensa question. OK, the full text:
    For iPhones, iPads, I assume iPod Touch too (don't have one), when you set your sync/backup prefs in iTunes, under Summary > Options: checkboxes #3 and #6 read:
    Sync only check songs and videos
    Manually manage music and videos
    To confuse more: if I cycle thru the tabs after plugging an iDevice (Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Photos), except for the Apps page, each has a checkbox at the top of each page such as: Sync Tones, Sync Music, Sync Movies, etc.
    Checking any of these boxes allows you to "manually" then check the content you want to move on to your iDevice, and of course unchecking an item on your iDevice will remove it upon Sync/Backup
    Back to Summary > Options:
    I thought I'd experiment:
    I had #3 checked plus the Sync boxes on the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books and Photos (from iPhoto). I unchecked it and nothing changed.
    Then I checked #6. Oooops. #3 grayed out, and all my checks on each page unchecked.
    Worse, going to the Music page, where you can see all your songs in your iTunes Library, without the Sync Music checked, the page is blank. Checking it again brings forth a very scary alert
    So.. until I figure this out, seems my experimenting may cost me to cleanse my iPad Air of all it's music. Not the end of the world, I just have to recheck what I had on it from Library and reSync.
    Adages a side (curiosity killed the cat comes to mind)
    I have to assume there are differences, even if just nuances between all these options for managing your stuff on your iDevices. These options have been in iTunes for as long back as I can remember. Unfortunately today I was backing up readying for iOS 8 and got curious, and here I am. Woe as me.
    I'd sure like to understand all this, and know what should be checked if you want to manage your media and apps manually.

    How to undo unwanted changes like mine above:
    I luckily opened my iPad Air in the left column of iTunes where Playlists are and clicked Music (still experimenting, will I EVER learn?) but I got a message noting that I had made a change and did I want to Apply, which as you know from above I didn't. I clicked what ever the negative was (No, Cancel, etc.) and my settings were all restored as before I started checking and unchecking. Even my Summary > Options #3 was checked as before starting all this.
    Whew. Saved.
    But I still as I bet many others want to know how to manage the manage checkboxes

  • Sync-ing podcasts to my Itouch

    When trying to sync my iTunes library podcasts to my Itouch, I can only get as far as "manually manage music and videos".  Then I can't find the "On this device" button to press. I also can't locate the + sign on the "right side of the iTunes window" . Perhaps at this point I'm looking at the wrong window? Then, looking at the pics of compiled podcasts from different places, I don't know how to get to a place where I can drag just one or two episodes to the right.  I have tried just checking individual episodes from the list and then "syncing this device" under File, sometimes by accident (?) that works, sometimes it doesn't.  Clearly I am wandering around in the dark here. There are some basics for sure I'm not  understanding. Thanks for any help!

    You can't sync Podcasts with the Manual Manage Music and Videos checked.

  • ITunes always syncs same songs and sometimes deletes them from iPhone!

    I have a weird problem with iTunes syncing music to the iPhone. I have 5 songs (the first song of one album and the first 4 songs of another album) that are sync'ed, i.e. downloaded to the phone, everytime I plug the phone into the USB port. Furthermore, if the external disk that contains my music is not plugged in, then those 5 songs actually get deleted from my iPhone, although all the other music is left intact on the phone.
    This is annoying because I usually don't turn on my external disk that contains my music library, unless I'm making a change to the library or to the contents of the iPhone, which I do maybe once a week. Because of this bug in iTunes, I have to leave the external disk all the time... and then watch it download those 5 songs everytime!
    FYI... I am syncing a subset of my music library to the iPhone, using a playlist called "David's iPhone" to hold the music I want on the iPhone. I have "Only sync checked items" UNselected and I don't have any songs in my library checked.
    Anybody else having this problem or know of a fix?

    Hi Nathan,
    Thanks for attempting to help, but, no, ALL my music is on the external drive, and, no, iTunes does NOT delete the music from my iPhone or iPods if that disk is off or disconnected... except for the 5 mystery songs. Even if the external disk is off and iTunes can't find the songs, they remain listed in my iTunes library and I do get warnings from iTunes about them not being found, but iTunes doesn't delete them from a "mobile device" that they have already been downloaded to. I imagine that this is intentional behavior for just such situations.
    As further evidence of this, the other songs on the SAME ALBUM, which were ripped at the same time, of course, are NOT deleted!
    No, the point is that there is something about these 5 songs that is weird. Even if I leave my music library disk online, iTunes syncs, i.e. downloads, those 5 songs EVERYTIME I plug in the iPhone. Actually, I've just seen posts from some others who have this same problem. The songs being deleted from the iPhone when my music library disk is off is just an extension of this problem.
    BTW, I've never seen this bug with my iPods, although I haven't been using my iPods much since I got my iPhone :-)!

  • Editing files in my catalog and then moving them back. Help.

    I want to take a folder of images in the LR catalog on my desktop with me while travelling so that I can edit them on my laptop but, the question I have is, if I export them as a catalog to a portable drive, how do I put them back in the catalog on my desktop once I've cited them so that the old files on the desktop are overwritten with the new changes? I'm sure this is possible, I just want to make sure I get the steps right, thanks

    Export to Catalog, now.
    Import from Catalog, then.
    Try it with a few images in a small pair catalogs, now, to see how it all works, especially what happens if you edit images on the desktop after you’ve split off the travelling catalog, and the import that travelling catalog back into the main catalog after other changes have been made in the travelling catalog.  You can verify whether or not the travelling catalog changes overwrite the main catalog or if they are merged, somehow.
