Trying to delete podcast from nano (5th) but only seems to have disappeared from iTunes

My daughter set up my nano a few years ago by putting running songs on, which was all I wanted it for then . Am thinking about getting another Apple device so have been teaching myself how iTunes works and also other things about this neglected nano.  I decided to try downloading a podcast through  iTunes, which worked fine, with it showing in the podcast library and then transferred it on to the nano where it appeared correctly in the Podcast menu and played.
I don't actually want that podcast (was just using it to trial the process ) so tried to delete it from the nano.  I thought I had followed instructions gathered from here (the user manual wasn't clear) which said I had to do it via iTunes.
Result: I have managed to delete the  podcast from the library (shows as nothing in there) but it is still on the nano.
Woudl be very  grateful for help on where I go from here!

Further report: I reset the nano, deleted everything and reloaded the music. It worked  - no lingering unwanted  podcast - but surely there must be a proper way to do this ?

  • I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod and tried it dozens of times

    I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and with that "upgrade" I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod, tried syncing under another users account and everything else I can think of. It syncs ok upon initial start-up but then when I tryp to select podcasts or music to sync to it, itunes crashes. Now that I restored my ipod, I can't even get my old podcasts much less add new ones.

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

  • Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

    I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
    When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later".  The other song is nowhere to be seen.  The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
    I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
    If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
    If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
    I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

  • My creative cloud seems to have disappeared from the menu bar

    The Creative Cloud icon seems to have disappeared from the top menu bar.
    My creative cloud says that it did not close down properly and then asks if I can to force quit it, but nothing seems to happen and I get that error message again when I restart the computer.
    I can't seem to locate Creative Cloud to open or close it, yet Photoshop CC will open.
    Last night I downloaded updated and CC software.
    I made 5 phone calls to India last week and finally got the Creative Cloud working again, but I have no clue what they did. Now it isn't working correctly.
    Also, in Photoshop CC I am getting this...Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the JPEG data. That is what is says on some JPEGS. I don't usually get an error like this.
    Does it have anything to do with the malfunction of the CC now that I can't seem to find it in the menu bar and it keeps telling me that it did not close down properly and do I want to force quit when I restart my computer....I get that message.

  • How do I forward calls from my iPhone4?  The option seems to have disappeared from the settings - phone prompt

    The option seems to have disappeared from the settings - phone options

    With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.

  • Bluetooth seems to have disappeared from the systems preferences selection page on my Macbook Pro. Where to from here?

    My Logitech mouse quit working and I assumed low batteries. I replaced them and the mouse still would not connect. The Bluetooth icon on the menu bar is dimmed with the squiggly thru it and the message is "Bluetooth: Not available." The Bluetooth icon in system preferences, which WAS there before, seems to have disappeared. No selection option at all: it simply isn't there. When I click the Mouse option I get "Install a USB mouse" and nothing else. So where I do from here to get my mouse alive an well once more?

  • Any idea what could have happened to profiles that seem to have disappeared from profile folder?

    I wanted to experiment with profiles so I created a new profile called "temp". This seemed to work but when I tried to go back and reselect any of the older profiles I received an error message saying that this couldn't be done while any instance of Firefox was running (none were).
    Also, when I opened the Profiles folder I only found the "temp" profile I had just created but none of the other, older profiles even though they were listed in Profile Manager.
    I've lost my bookmarks and who knows what else. I did a search of my C drive to see if perhaps the missing profiles might have been located in a folder other than the profiles folder. I even did a search for .sqlite files. I did find some very old versions of my profiles that I had copied over from a previous computer but these did not have my up-to-date bookmarks. Any ideas? Seems crazy, I know. Thanks.

    Thank you, cor-el, for this information. It certainly explains why I was getting the message that Firefox was already running.
    I can see in my profiles.ini file (see attached image) the (4) profiles that also show up in the profile manager. The the question remains, what happened to the profile file, which I now believe was the "Richard III" profile, that was in use prior to my creating my "temp" profile (that I recently renamed "Feb 2011")? No attempt was made to delete the "Richard III" profile either with the profile manager or otherwise. Simply creating the "temp" profile seems to have blown the "Richard III" profile out of existence, leaving not a trace.
    As you can see, the "Richard III" profile's path leads, as usual, to the Profile folder. But only the "temp" profile is found there.
    One of the specified paths, the one for the "Richard" profile, leads to a folder that's not directly related to Mozilla. The "Richard" profile (which I used as bases for the "Feb 2011" profile) is a profile that's over a year old. I assume it became the bases, way back when, for the "Richard III" profile, the profile that's apparently vaporized.
    I hope this makes sense even if the loss of the "Richard III" profile does not.

  • I can't find the duplicates tab that i always found useful, it seems to have disappeared from the new iTunes, does anybody know what to do next?

    Where has the find duplicates function gone in the new iTunes? It use to be in a drop down task bar menu in the old versions but i can't find it in the latest.
    Also while i am in iTunes mode, when i open iTunes i get a message
    I have checked the Firewall pane of Security & Privacy preferences and the light is green as in allow, yet the message keeps coming up every time i open iTunes, any idea on how to get rid?
    All useful information greatly appreciated.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • I purchased QT Pro years ago, but it seems to have disappeared after upgrading to Lion.

    I still have my key codes, but I cannot find a way to re-download QT Pro without repurchasing it.  The primary reason I feel the need to reinstall QT Pro is because for some odd reason the only video files that will play with Quicktime are .wmv files (which really strikes me as odd, seeing QT will only play .wmv files and not .mpg or .mov files) -- this seemed to also happen once I moved to Lion.  Like many questions that've been posted, when I try to play a .mov or .mpg file, I get the infamous Codec error code.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    If you had it in Leopard it was moved to the Utilities folder when Snow Leopard was installed. It installs in the Utilities folder in Lion, too.
