Syncing Podcast  telling me that iPod is full

I have been happily syncing podcast for the last few months, recently however I am being told that the syncing can not be done because the iPod is full. I have the Podcast syncing to only copy/keep the 3 most recent unplayed versions and I am only trying to sync 5 podcasts on to a 4Gb nano. I have checked out the size of the files and in total it should be about 800 Mb total. on the iPod itself and in the syncing window, it shows that it is trying to sync all the old podcast first before getting to the new ones and the old files are stored in the iPod_Control directory of the iPod.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a reset i should do or can do. Would a complete reset of the nano be in order? I do not have any music on the device some I am not fussed about a reset.

I have the same problem. I have podcasts set to 'sync all unplayed', but the ipod seems to sync the played ones to -- although they're not visible in the 'podcasts' section on the ipod, they are visible under 'artists'. Possible theories/workarounds, not sure if they are right yet, I'd appreciate any thoughts:
I have a smart playlist that contains all my podcasts, but I've discovered that deleting this smart playlist frees up a lot of space. Perhaps having the playlist leads itunes to sync the played podcasts, since they're now in the 'music' category, as well as the unplayed ones.
(ii) I have 'only sync checked items' selected. I wonder if itunes reads this as 'sync all and only checked items'. Podcasts are checked when they're downloaded, so itunes puts all of them, including the ones that have been listened to, on the ipod as music.
(iii) Clicking 'restore' frees up of space, deleting the listened-to podcasts. This is time consuming since all the music has to be deleted from the ipod and re-uploaded.

  • Sync keeps telling me that the password is incorrect, even though i keep udating it.

    at first i had thought maybe i had accidentaly caps-locked or something, but after trying 2 more times, i still cannot log in from either of my computers or my ipad (which is a whole other deal) i can however log in from the website. but when i hit 'refresh sync' it tells me the password is incorrect and to try again, over and over.

    Have you tried resetting the network settings? Sometimes starting from scratch solves the issue and it is the simplest way I can think of that may solve your problem.
    1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
    2. Then select Reset Network Settings
    3. Enter your password when it requests it
    After the phone finishes the reset try adding your Wi-Fi again and see if that works. If not, I would back-up your phone to your computer, then reset the whole phone by following the same instructions above, but choosing Reset All Content and Settings at step two. Make sure you backup your phone first though! Otherwise you will lose all the stuff on your phone when you make this selection.
    Good luck!

  • Sync keeps telling me that the server is under maintenance, yet the official status page says otherwise.

    Every time I have started Firefox since November 14 (or so), I have been getting sync errors.
    Official status page: https://services.mozilla.com/status/
    Sample error log: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=90EF9D0CFFFF0B22!50647&authkey=!ACUOT1NEZTynJsk&ithint=file%2ctxt
    Is there anything I can do about this, or is the sync server really down?

    hello Toa_Of_Justice, this is currently an issue with the server (nothing you can do at your end to address that). if you want to, you can follow along [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1100162 bug #1100162] for progress on this issue...

  • Podcast show up on iPod uninvited

    All my podcasts are copied to my iPod, if I set them to or not. Once on the iPod, they are not readily available. I have to dive into genres or playlist to find them.
    Unlike all the other similar issue I read on here, if I set a podcast to sync, it works fine on the iPod, while podcasts set not to sync continue to take up space.
    I just started dealing with podcasts, so I have no idea if this is a new issue. Any suggestions

    I assume you mean Leonard Cohen Live from the Beacon Theatre, Feb 27. I've just downloaded it and it is now on my iPod, so this suggests it's not the Podcast itself.
    Is this the first time you have added Podcasts? If so, it sounds as though you simply haven't carried out the correct steps in the correct order.
    Also, what do you mean by "I checked sync selected"? If this is your first Podcast addition, do you mean/have you:
    1. connected the iPod to iTunes
    2. switched to the Podcasts pane and checked (put a tick-in-the-box) to *Sync /<XX> /episodes of /all podcasts* (or whichever episodes you want)
    3. clicked the Sync button after steps 1 & 2?
    You will only have to select these options for syncing Podcasts once, after that they will be as you want them at every Sync.

  • HT204207 Sync podcasts to iPod from iTune in full via USB, no streaming, no WiFi download, good old USB sync transfer.

    I want to sync my podcast from my MacBook to my iPod via USB. I do not want to download them individually over WiFi due to a large number or podcasts.
    I do not want to stream as I listen to my podcasts offline. I want my podcasts to sync like they use to. I just want all the podcasts that are on my MacBook on my iPod, not in a list ready to stream or ready to download.  I want the actual podcast to copy to my iPod in full via USB. I don't understand why apple have chosen to take this option away. I do not want to covert all my podcasts to "music", because then I don't get the advantage of the podcast app where I can listen to podcasts a 1.5x or 2x speed, among other features.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

    Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two.

At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

    Think you got to reboot or relaunch iTunes after the Authorization.

  • IPod will no longer sync podcasts from iTunes store

    Both our iPod and iPod Nano will no longer sync podcasts. We have downloaded new music, which will sync, but not the new podcasts from the iTunes store. iTunes indicates that it is syncing (which takes about 1 second) but the podcasts are not synced.
    We have deleted all the existing podcasts and downloaded a single new one, with no change in the problem. We have tried both iPods and the result is the same.
    We are running ESET NOD32 version 3.0 for Anti-Virus. We have checked with ESET and performed the exceptions that are known to cause problems with iTunes, and there has been no change, except that iTunes no longer freezes, which it previously did.
    Hopefully someone out there can help us.

    easiest way i have found to resolve the issue is go into itunes while phone is plugged in. you will have a list of tabs across, summery, info, ringtones, music. select music and where it displays sync music unselect that and hit apply in the bottom right (dont worry your music should be saved on the computer) once the sync is complete re check the music sync option. ive noticed this to work 95% of the time......hope this helps
    I Hope I Was Able To Help You Or Solve Your Question.

  • ITunes syncing my podcasts to a different iPod

    We have an iMac running Mac OS X (Tiger). I have a 5G 30GB iPod and my son has a 4GB Nano. Each of us has our own account (mine is the admin. account) and our own separate music libraries in iTunes.
    Once when I was working under my account, I wanted to charge his Nano's battery. When I plugged it into our Mac, I got the message stating that his iPod was synced to another account. My options were to either erase his Nano and sync it to my library or to cancel. Naturally, I selected "CANCEL". But interestingly enough, the podcasts I subscribed to started to sync to my son's Nano. Once the sync was complete, I checked my son's Nano and, sure enough, there they were.
    So, not wanting my 8-year old to hear the exploits and musings of those wacky madcaps at "beer.com", I logged off my account, logged on as my son, plugged in his Nano, synced up with iTunes, deleted the podcasts from iTunes, synced up again and finally set the parental lock to disable podcasts. All is well.
    Now whenever I plug in his Nano to charge it when my account is active, the same message comes up as before. When I select "CANCEL", iTunes still shows the podcasts syncing to my son's Nano but (as near as I can tell) they aren't actually getting there. I still make a habit of checking just to make sure they don't get there.
    My questions are: Have I got something set wrong somewhere to cause iTunes to try to sync podcasts to my son's Nano, or is this just the way iTunes works? Why does iTunes show podcasts syncing to the Nano when I have both disabled podcasts on the Nano AND selected not to sync it to my iTunes library? Is the parental control to disable podcasts only a part of the iTunes software and not the Nano itself? In other words, can my iTunes library not tell that my son's Nano is not supposed to get podcasts, or is syncing podcasts simply based on the iTunes settings for the active account irrespective of whose iPod is plugged in at the time?
    Right now it is not a big issue as all podcasts are currently disabled on his account. If he ever wanted to subscribe to some more age-appropriate podcasts, however, then I assume I'll be able to set something somewhere to keep the more adult-themed material from getting on to his Nano irrespective of whose account is active when I plug in his Nano to charge it. The other options, of course, are to only plug in his Nano to the Mac when his account is active or to charge it from a plug-in.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on this issue.
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Sorry I forgot to ask How. Do I export the library? When I choose this my only choice is a .txt file. Or do I backup the whole library.
    As much info. as possible would be appreciated
    Thanks

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?
