Unable to copy podcasts to iPod (mini)

Hello, I recently had a drive crash on the system I used
iTunes on. It was a total loss, so I wasn't able to salvage
my iTunes directory (no big deal, only podcasts were in there).
I installed iTunes on another system I have and hooked up my
iPod. It sees the stuff that was already on there just fine.
(I put it in manual sync so as not to lose the stuff on it
since some of it is no longer available). The problem is that
I can't get any of the new stuff onto the iPod now. I re-
subscribed to all the old podcasts (and a few new ones) but
when I right click on the iPod it no longer has the 'sync'
option. So I copied the tracks manually (dragged and dropped)
but they don't show up under either the podcasts list nor the
music list. The space available decreases (and space used
increases of course), but they are no where to be found.
How the HE(double hockey sticks) do I see it?
Thanks for your time!

  • Can't copy tunes to iPOD mini

    Using iPOD mini 1.4.1. Computere specs are below.
    Having great difficulty with iPOD mini. Cannot copy tunes or playlists......"that have been purchased via iTunes store ........... Get a window telling a particular song cannot be copied, and lists other "problems" meaning songs which also cannot be loaded.
    Does this have anything to do with the "cannot copy an iTune more than 7 times? If so, why won't it copy a tune that was just purchased and is being copied to the iPOD mini for the first time?
    If this "7 times rule" (not sure where I read that, but recall doing so) is what's in the way, is there anything I can do about it on my end or do I have to call Apple.
    This is not a situation where I'm just out to make copies for college friends. This is a problem related to having the Mac in the shop for the better part of a month. It was taken in to upgrade RAM from 256 MB to 1 GB, a routine procedure I was told. however, they had "issues" installing the RAM, resulting in a failed logic board, and other problems, then another logic board failure.
    Now it's home. Trying to determine whether or not it's really fixed. The iTunes area is one problem we've already noticed. When we hooked it up, it copied the entire music library, went through several attempts to straighten it out, including "syncing," unsyncing" whatever. It would just delete songs, then we had to recopy them back onto the iPod. In general, a mess.
    Any thoughts/advice would be very much appreciated.

    Sorry, one more thing:
    tried to burn CD, got message "You are not aurhorized to burn song to CD" then list number of problems, which were the number of songs I was trying to burn.
    Somethings's seriously wrong here.
    Please help

  • Unable to copy songs into iPod

    hi, i'm new iPod user, i have an iPod mini.
    i tried to sync my iPod with iTunes, but had this error message that said: some of the items in the iTunes music library were not copied into the iPod because the iPod software is too old. Go to www.apple.com/ipod/download to get the latest iPod Updater.
    I went to the website and downloaded the newest version of iTunes. i did not see an "iPod Updater" anywhere.
    This did not solve the problem. i am unable to download any songs into my iPod.
    Would someone please help?
    much appreciated, i have gone through a lot of trouble to get this iPod working, and it is so frustrating that the last step is still a barrier at this moment. hoping someone will be able to offer some help here.
    thank you.

    I went to the website and downloaded the newest version of iTunes. i did not see an "iPod Updater" anywhere.
    in the new itunes 7.0.x versions there is no longer a separate "standalone" ipod updater application. you use itunes itself for the update. for instructions on how to do that, see:

  • Can't copy podcast to Ipod after latest Itunes update

    I have an Ipod Nano.  I just recently updated Itunes with whatever the latest update was.  I subscribe to several podcasts and I downloaded the latest episodes.  When I went to copy the latest episodes to my Ipod, an error message popped up telling me that the podcasts could not be copied to my Ipod because they couldn't be played on my Ipod.  Why am I having this issue?

    On your iPod, go to the Video menu, then go to your video settings and turn TV to Always Ask or off.

  • Copying podcasts to ipod from library

    When i update my ipod it will not copy my recent purchase of the ricky gervais podcast from audible.com, stating that 'this ipod my only contain content from two audible accounts'. As i only have one audible account I find this mystifying. I am able to play the podcast, just not copy it.

    Use itunes of course,make sure everything is checkmarked, to add any library to your iPod you have to with itunes. You can make a folder or find one of your librarys in a folder. Then, go to "file" on itunes then you can take it from there.

  • Unable to download podcasts on ipod touch

    When I go to itunes in the ipod pick any podcast and click on download, I see the download in the downloads tab going until it's done downloading and then it just disappears.

    I'll also add that when looking in itunes on the computer, when ipod is connected, I can see all of the podcasts as if they're on the ipod.

  • ITunes 10 & 9/ invisible files on iPod mini

    I downloaded some files to my laptop from iTunes U:The Library of Congress; 15 files total. Everything was fine for DL, setting Remember playback position, and Part of a gapless album in iTues info, which is my usual practice for spoken word files.
    Once copied to the iPod mini, the files played Ok, but when I re-connected the iPod to my laptop, the files were not visible in the Devices:iPodName:Music folder, or Podcasts folder, or anywhere else on the iPod! Thinking that this might be a problem with iTunes 10, I just got back home and tried it with my desktop G4 running iTues 9, but they are still invisible. This is downright weird. The files remain visible when the iPod is not connected to a computer.
    The only place I see remaining for the trouble to be is in a conflict between the files themselves and the iPod mini software. No iPod software update has been seen for a long time. When clicking on the iPod's 'Check For Update' button, an error window opens saying: 'The iPod software update server could not be contacted', yet the computer is connected to the web.
    Running software version 1.1.3 on my iPod mini, iTunes 10 on my laptop, and iTunes 9.2.1 on my G4 desktop

    I'm trying to access the iPod via the Terminal, clearly the data is encoded, but while I don't understand the code, the invisible files stand out.
    I've been stepping through iTunesDB via 'more':

  • When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes.  I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge.  Help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I copy music from my iPod mini to iTunes?

    I accidentally deleted music from iTunes and can't find the original CD. The music is on my iPod mini, but I can't copy the music from the mini to iTunes. Help, please. Thanks!
    PC   Windows XP  

    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.

  • How do I put a podcast on a iPod mini?

    OK, back in the old days (this morning) I had an iPod shuffle. Worked great except that about every third time I turned it on I had to hit various volume-up, pause, play, forward, back, off, on, off, on, volume up four times, etc. to get it to start playing. But the one thing I could do with it was to plug it into my computer, open up iTunes, find the podcast I wanted and drag it over to the iPod. It would sync, I could listen, life was good.
    Now I'm the owner of a beautiful iPod mini. I plugged it in and it immediately tried to load everything from my computer onto it's 4G hard drive. I poked at the screen and finally got it to stop and now I'm trying to figure out how to get one podcast on it. I drag the podcast, but it won't let me drop. How do I get my podcast onto my iPod mini?

    You could change the setting to manually manage songs and then make sure you have enough space for the podcast.

  • Video podcasts not copying to 5G ipod

    I have a 5G 60 video ipod and prior to updating to itunes 7 all was well. I downloaded video podcasts from the itunes store- macbreak video and podsurf
    tv. Both podcasts are not on my ipod. I have an imac intel desktop. here's one
    message: some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "macBreak 14: automator photoblog," were not copied to "dave's ipod" because
    they cannot be played on this ipod. Why aren't these video podcasts copied to my ipod? My ipod software is up to date and I am not using a pc.
    I can still buy music and tv shows and copy them to my ipod.
    Reading the discussions has me thinking something be wrong with the itunes
    update.

    I had the same problem with a Happy Tree Friends episode, Eyes Cold Lemonade. I just converted it to M4V with PQ DVD to iPod converter, but it does't show as a podcast, just video. One option...
    Maybe if there is a way to delete it and re-download it, it might work that way... I'll have to try that.

  • Playing audio component of video podcasts on an iPod mini?

    I subscribe to a number of lecture podcasts which somewhat uselessly record in video. I don't need to see the presenter, so I was wondering if there was a way to force it to play audio-only on my iPod mini. Currently, if I put it on a sync'ed playlist, it is ignored, and the conversion option says that the video is already in the correct format. Is there a workaround which doesn't involve the extra effort of taking the file out of iTunes and ripping the audio track?
