Trouble syncing "selected podcasts" on iPhone

Let me start by saying, this was all working fine on my iPhone until I recently started using the same Macbook Pro to sync my 2nd gen iPod Nano.
The issue is that I want only "selected podcasts" on the iPhone, and I have checked their boxes on the Podcasts tab and choose to Sync "all unplayed."
However, when I sync the iPhone, every podcast is synced, even if it's name isn't checked in the "Selected poscasts" list.
The iPod nano is working fine, and I only get the podcasts I have choosen for it.
Both have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checked on each Summary tab.
Any ideas how to keep the Nano's podcasts off the iPhone?
Thanks,
Chris

It seems that when I checked the "Manually manage music and videos" button, the iPhone started syncing correctly again. This wasn't necessary before adding the Nano, and is still not needed on the Nano in order to only sync selected Podcasts.

  • Can't sync downloaded podcasts to iPhone

    When I sync my iPhone it does not pick up my selected podcasts.  Instead, ALL my podcasts are shown, but only in the cloud.
    I do NOT want to stream my podcasts using cellular data when I have already used my home wifi to download them.
    I have tried turning my phone off and on.
    Please help me....it's looking like I can't listen to podcasts anymore unless I am at home with my laptop.  This problem started in the last couple of days and did not seem to coincide with an upgrade for my phone or iTunes.

    Yes....all the podcasts are definitely downloaded onto my laptop.
    But in your first post you said that they were all in the cloud, in which case they are not on your laptop.
    If the Podcasts are on your laptop, then presumably they are not being copied to the iPhone when you Sync the phone with your iTunes Library. In that case, check your Sync options to make sure that the option to Sync Podcasts is still selected. Sync Podcasts is a separate option to Sync Music.

  • IPHOTO 09 WONT SYNC SELECTED ALBUMS WITH IPHONE 4 VIA ITUNES

    I am posting this as a question and will proceed to answer it as per the solution provided by Applecare case id
    265819669
    System
    I run Powemac G5 OSX 10.5.8 Leopard, iLife 09 and iPhone 4 & iPad2
    Software versions are iPhoto 09 V 8.1.2, iTunes and iOS 5.01 on theiPad and iPhone
    Problem 1
    Following software updates on all my devices I began to run into sync problems with my iphone 4, namely error message 1104
    On contacting my mobile service provider they suggested:
    connect iphone to itunes, selected photo tab and untick the box sync photos from iphoto then proceed to sync
    Solution 1
    This allowed iphone 4 to sync thus eliminating my 1104 error message problem
    Problem 2
    iPhone 4 will no longer sync selected albums, events and faces with iPhone 4
    After level 3 escalation within Apple the problem was reffered to iphoto computer support who delievered this fix.
    It was identified as a problem with my iphoto library not being seen by itunes despite my iphoto library functioning normally (or so I thought).
    Solution 2 (I will try and articulate this as best as I can)
    Open iPhoto app whilst alt key is depressed
    select/ locate the iphoto library source file from your hard drive which itunes is using.  This now tells you where iphoto library resides ie this is your library in which all your photos slideshows and star rating data resides.
    FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIX IT WAS AGREED TO RESTORE AN EARLIER VERSION OF MY IPHOTO LIBRARY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP - TIME MACHINE SAVED THE DAY HERE - TAKE HEED - BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP.  BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, I WOULD RECOMMEND BACKING UP AT THIS STAGE, JUST FOR SAFETY SAKE.
    Go to Time machine, locate iPhoto library and then select restore.
    The file will be restored to it's original location and you can now begin to work on the fix without jeopardising your original library
    Close iphoto, and reset system
    Open iPhoto with alt key depressed, select the recently restored file
    Open itunes and try and sync your iOS device
    Does the selected, albums and faces tabs in Photo tab now work? If so problem solved, if not read on.
    Restart system
    Open iPhoto with the alt and command key depressed
    (You will be working on the restored file as iphoto located this automatically when opening - see previous note)
    a list of boxes will appear detailing repair permission etc - ensure all are ticked and follow instruction to rebuild reorganise the iphoto library.  Sorry for being vague here but I can't remember the screen details.
    Let iphoto rebuild the iPhoto library file
    close iPhoto and restart system
    Try the sync process again in itunes.  Does the Photo tab option whick allows you to select pictures, albums and faces should now work?
    If so, problem solved, well almost.  If not, refer for further help.
    Given you have just cured the problem with a restored backup iPhoto library file, should you need to work on your most recent file since that back up, repeat solution 2 from the beggining.  Once complete, you will need to move the iPhoto library file which didn't sync to the trash. 
    Should you have events in your originl iPhoto library which don't reside in your backup file, export these events into folders by using export "current" feature in iPhoto, then drage them bag into your new library once your problem is solved.
    USE GREAT CAUTION HERE, DON'T DELTE YOUR TRASH UNTIL YOU HAVE TESTED EVERYTHING WORKS CORRECTLY.
    I hope this helps someone, if so please let me know.

    Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing  the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Having trouble syncing digital booklet to iPhone.

    I purchased an album and managed to get the digital booklet on iTunes. I'm having trouble getting it onto my iPhone now. I've tried to sync it so many times but it just doesn't appear in the iBooks app on my iPhone. I'm unsure of how to get it on my phone. Any help please?

    Does it open normally on your computer?
    Have you reviewed the sync settings under Device > Books such that it is supposed to be synced?

  • Sync AppleTV Podcasts to iPhone

    Is there a way to sync the podcasts I have on my AppleTV to my iTunes/iPhone??

    I don't think that you can sync them through the ATV, but I would try to locate them through the iTunes store and sync them to your phone that way.

  • ITunes7 + iPod nano 1.1.1 cannot sync "Selected Podcasts", only "All"

    Only "All podcasts" is available

    After selecting all the podcasts (Cmd-A) and right click "update", the list of podcats appears in the panel and selected podcasts can be chosen.

  • HT4236 Trouble syncing selected photos from iMac to iPhone 4s.

    In iTunes I can get to the screen " Sync photos from iLibrary". The button is hit for "all photos, albums, events and faces".  Unable to click on "Selected albums, events and faces".  Prefer not to download my entire iLibrary. Any thoughts out there?

    I had this problem too. The problem was in songs, that were on playlist, but not in library itself. This had happened by importing playlist from files sometimes in the past (I didnt know, they will not appear in Music, but only in playlist itself). The solution is to select all songs in the playlist (in iTunes) and drag it to the library (Music). Songs will resync again and will be present on iPhone on next sync. Hope this will help with your problem too.
    Cheers

  • Trouble syncing my podcast playlist onto iPhone

    I am making my own walking tours as enhanced podcasts (therefore ACC) for use when I travel. No problem with making them in Garageband 6.0.5
    and sending them to iTunes 11.1.5.  Once in iTunes I set Kind: Podcast. Once in Playlists (or in the Podcast folder in iTunes' Playlist), I am having problems getting them to sync with my iPhone 5 running 7.0.6. I have had success getting one there but once I add a second, the first corrupts and will either disappear, show the right title but play the wrong file, or grey out. I am not publishing to the store I just want to get my personal podcasts onto my iPhone to use when I travel. What do I need to do to accomplish this? It seems to work on my old iPod 5.1.1 with the Music app so leads me to believe it is something between iTunes and the Podcast APP. Is it possible to do this with the Podcast APP? Or do I just give up and make them Audiobooks or Music?

    No, I don't want to get into constructing the feed and publishing. "Changing the file kind to Podcast in iTunes on a Mac results in them appearing as a podcast with no title and the file as a single episode." Yes, this is why it is so buggy trying to sync. The first episode must set some text file then the following episodes corrupt this causing problems.
    The thing that drives me nuts is that I have been able to sync two of the enhanced podcasts (after many tries) and they both showed up under Podcast App/New Stations/iTunes Playlist and played perfectly with chapters markers and podcast controls. When I tried to sync a third episode in the same way, the previous episodes were corrupted. A single episode will also show up under My Podcasts, and sometimes even a second one. Resyncing can mess it all up so title 1 will actually play title 2 file. It seems there is a way to get them to the Podcast app but so many bugs in the process nothing works the same way twice. I have read that dumping the Podcast app and returning to use the Music app for podcasts might help. A bug in Podcast app when it comes to recognizing playlists. Thanks for the suggestion, rather than spend more days on this I am ready just to make them Audiobooks and hope that will work. If not, then I know I can do the music route, create a new station or playlist so they are organized in one spot. I loose the podcast controls though. I can live without the chapter markers if I have to but that 15 second repeat is important.

  • Trouble syncing selected music

    I am using a 32gb 5S with ios7.1 and itunes 11.1.5.5.
    I have a selection of music from my itunes library synced to my iphone, this evening I wanted to make some changes. I have no boxes checked in the options section of the summary screen. On the music tab I have "Selected Artists, Albums and Genres" ticked.
    I have unchecked some artists and checked some previously unchecked ones and pressed sync, I then got an error saying I had a lack of space even though the bar at the bottom indicated sufficient space for what I was adding. I then decided to remove all the music from the phone and start again, I unchecked all the albums, the bar at the bottom showed no music to be synced, and hit Apply. The sync begins but still leaves the existing music on my iphone. If i check an artist that was not previously on the phone it will be added and if I then uncheck the artisit it is removed again but the existing stuff just stays there.
    Next to sync music it says 0 Songs as in the screenshot yet once the sync completes the music is still there on the phone but unticked in itunes
    This is driving me nuts if anyone has any ideas why this is happening I would really appreciate it.

    I am experiencing the same thing as well.  I have been trying to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 to make room for podcasts but the entire music library just keep syncing back to the phone even though nothing is checked or I have answered the question indicating I want to remove all music from the phone.  This did not happen until the latest iTunes update, which I detest.  

  • ICloud only sync selective contacts from iPhone

    This problem has been driving me crazy for the past 2 weeks.
    Allow me to give you the full story so that you can help me.
    Since iCloud became online I had no issues syncing outlook on Windows XP , iPhone and iPad contacts , calendars and notes. However, for the past 2 months i noticed that outlook is not syncing properly as the new contacts created on the iPad and the iPhone were not being transferred but I didn't bother as the iCloud / iPhone and iPad always had all the updated contacts.
    My problems started when I got a new windows 7 laptop, I exported the outlook contacts from the windows XP machine to the outlook in the windows 7 machine and installed iCloud control panel in the new laptop and had outlook sync with iCloud through the iCloud control panel hoping that I will end up with contacts in outlook matching those in iCloud.
    HOWEVER , what happened is that my contacts on iCloud got messed up and ended up messing my contacts on the iPhone and iPad within few minutes. So I went to iCloud.com , deleted everything .... disabled iCloud on the iPhone, used the latest iPhone backup (which had good contacts) and then enabled syncing with iCloud hoping that the contact list will go from the iPhone to iCloud.................. what happened is that out of 1779 contacts only 210 got to iCloud while the rest remain in the iPhone only.
    I tried several times to delete the contacts from iCloud, reset the iPhone and establish the iClound link again but to no avail the same number of contacts only goes to iCloud. I also got an app (contacts kit) and saved my iPhone contacts as vCard and went to iCloud.com to import the vCard file it but i got an error relating to exceeding some limit (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489?viewlocale=en_US) so this is not going to work for me either.
    This is really frustrating   as it used to be fine but now for some reason it's not working ................ any ideas or help on how to transfer the full contacts from the iPhone to iCloud will be much appreciated.
    Thank you all

    Make sure you created a combo vCard backup of your master contact list in a compatible format (not all vCards are compatible).  If you're not sure, use the app My Contacts Backup to create one.
    Then go to iCloud.com from your computer, open your contacts, click All Contacts, select any single contacts and press Control-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted), then press your Delete key to delete them.  Confirm that the contacts are all deleted.  On your phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default.  (If you don't have multiple accounts syncing contacts on your phone you won't see this setting and can skip this step.)  Then open the email and tap the vCard attachment to import your master contact list back to your phone, and to iCloud and your other devices.

  • Trouble sync'ing iCal with iPhone 3GS

    Why don't some of my iCal appointments sync with my iPhone 3GS since mobile me ended?  I did the "switch to iCloud" and now there are new appointments that I have put on my desktop that no longer sync over.  I set up the iPhone (settings/calendar/on) to sync and applied the new settings on iTunes.  This happened in the past when I tried to use the Cloud to sync appts and called applecare and the tech had me undo everything.  Any ideas?

    On the right hand side of the Info tab, there's a scrollbar you can use to scroll down to set syncing options for calendars, bookmarks, notes and mail accounts.

  • Trouble syncing Contact addresses to iphone 5

    I just upgraded from an iphone 3g to an iphone 5. I also upgraded my ios to 7.  I have always synced my outlook contacts and calendar with my phone. However, after this upgrade, I noticed SOME of my outlook addresses are missing from my phone contacts. They are still on my laptop, but not the phone, and it is only some of the addresses. I can't find any rhyme or reason as to which transferred and which didn't. I tried syncing again, but didn't correct the problem. Any thoughts or fixes????  At the same time my husband bought an iphone 5 (his first iphone) and we have syncd his phone to the same laptop and the same problem happened on his phone.

    You need to creat more spaceby deleting more content or you can update via itunes on your computer.
