Video podcasts suddenly regarded as music in iTunes: how can I fix this?

Hi everyone,
OK I've looked around for some time now, but the answer does not seem to be out there.
After a recent iTunes upgrade, all my video podcasts were treated by iTunes as music podcasts.
What I mean by that:
- TV icon is missing next to the file in iTunes
- Right click says "mark as played" instead of "mark as watched"
- Available Media Kinds are "Music, Podcast, iTunes U, Audiobook & Voice Memo" instead of "Music Video, TV Programe, Film, Podcast & iTunes U"
- "Part of gapless album" ticking box is not greyed
- Those files are absent from the "Video Playlists" on my iPod classic
However, video podcasts downloaded after the upgrade behave normally! See image below: first video podcast is fine, the others are not.
This is puzzling me because the old files all have "MPEG-4 video file" as "Kind" and "Podcast" as "Media Kind", just like the new ones.
Anyone knows what's wrong here? and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot for your help

Are you talking about using iTunes music for a slide show?  If so you need to go to iTunes, file, library, reorganize files and then it will work.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

    You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

    Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy

  • After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes  music files.  How can I fix this problem?

    I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files.  How do I fix this problem. 

    Hey Joey BOD,
    It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

  • My ipad 3 is diabled and saids it needs to be connected to itunes how can i fix this if i dont have a computer at home?

    my ipad 3 is dissconnected how can i fix it if i dont have a computer

    To my knowledge you can't; there are occasionally issues that arise that require plugging the devices into a computer to have iTunes resolve the problem. 
    Can you use a friend's computer (I recommend creating a new user account to do this just to prevent possible issues with their existing iTunes account, doesn't seem to be as much of a problem recenlty as it once was, but it's always better to avoid the possibility). 
    You might also find an Apple Store with someone there who is willing to help, or library/school with computers you can access for free in order to fix whatever is going on with the iPad.

  • IPod Touch shows up on My Computer, but freezes iTunes, and does NOT show up on iTunes, how can i fix this?

    I have honestly spent countless hours trying to fix this, I FINALLY got it to show in My Computer, driver is updated, I have re-installed iTunes numerous times, recently did a FRESH Windows 7 Ultimate re-install, i can't restore the iPod (because it has been restored, and I can't even access it via iTunes) My iPod is NOT broken, it works on my laptop fine, it shows up on iTunes and My Computer, no problem. However, I need to use my iPod on my main computer for songs (iPod's practically new by the way) Like my question states, my iTunes freezes up, and it's very strange because it freezes, then a couple minutes later iTunes works fine, BUT my iPod doesn't show up on the side like it's supposed to. I've done everything, I hope I get some good support, thanks in advance!
    ~Thomas
    Edit: I have the latest update for the driver, and iTunes, iPod has 4.3.3
