View empty podcast subscriptions

How can I view, from my itouch, podcast that I subscribe to, but don't have any episodes of so that I can go to the itunes (on the itouch) and get an episode?!

you can't.
guess you could keep a list in 'Notes' if you wanted to

Running iTunes 10.5.3.3 - On my device there are podcast headers with no podcasts in them and I cannot seem to delete them. How can I get rid of these empty podcast subscriptions?

I have a Classic iPod with current software and I am running iTunes 10.5.3.3. On my device there are Podcast subscriptions but all of the podcasts have been deleted from them. Is there a way to get rid of the header (i.e. the Podcast subscription title)?

This has happened to a number of users lately. Usually the only way to remove them to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Podcast subscriptions - viewing individual episodes

Hi,
Does anybody know how to get the individual episodes of a podcast subscription to show up within the iTunes application? I've tried the 'Show all available episodes' options by right-clicking on the individual subscription but nothing happens. It's frustrating, as I can see the number of episodes that are stored, but not their names or any other details about them. I can't believe that I'm not able to perform something so basic in this application, so I'm assuming there's something I have overlooked. Any suggestions, please?

For the record, have you expanded the Podcast subscription by clicking on the triangle next to the Podcast name?

Itunes stops podcast subscription by itself

I subscribe to Rev3's "Tekzilla" video podcast. there are one-minute daily versions and a once-per-week long-form version that are covered by the one subscription (in other words you can't get just one or the other). I watch only the long-form version and delete the dailies.
every week itunes stops updating the subscription saying something to the effect of, "...itunes has stopped updating this subscription because you haven't listened or viewed the podcast recently..." and the choice is given to continue the subscription or delete it. every week I have to tell itunes to continue the subscription.
how do I get itunes to stop this crap and just keep the subscription running?
thanks much...

someone made a script that fixes this. It seems to work for me. If you want it to do it automatically just make an iCal event for every 3 days or something that runs this script.

Consolidating Redundant Podcast Subscriptions

*What I did*: I accidentally deleted a podcast subscription (KCRW's Today's Top Tune) and all 300+ associated files. I dragged all those MP3s out of the trash and back into iTunes.
*The issue*: in the "Podcast" area, iTunes created 5 podcast subscriptions for "KCRW's Today's Top Tune". When I click the disclosure triangles, I can see that each of the 5 subscriptions contains different MP3s; my songs are spread out across these 5 organizing subscription headings (each of which has the exact same name).
*The question*: How can I get iTunes to consolidate these 5 podcast subscription headings into a single one to rule all my previously downloaded MP3s (sorry, couldn't resist) so that it can look as it did before the accident?

If you mean within iTunes then go to View menu and select Show Sidebar. One of the items under the Library heading should be iTunes U.
if you mean the actual files, select one of the files in iTunes, then go to File menu and select Show in Finder. This will open the folder where the file is stored.
Warning: You should not interact (delete, add, etc) with iTunes files/folders directly, but do it from within iTunes only.

Podcast subscriptions vanished

I have a bunch of podcast subscriptions in itunes on my pc. I tried to sync them to my iphone for the first time and because I had very few on my iphone somehow it deleted all my subscriptions that wasn't on my iphone from itunes and now I don't know how to get them all back. I've tried restoring an old libary file my from itunes directory but that still isn't bringing them all back. Any suggestions on how to restore all my subscriptions? Also how do I keep the iphone from overriding itunes. Thanks

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Podcast Subscription no longer updates

I've downloaded the latest version of iTunes (so let's get that off the table.) Before I did that my one Podcast subscription was not updating - I was not getting the pop up window upon opening the application and it didn't work when I manually tried to update from the podcast section in iTunes.
Now that I've updated, I unsubscribed and re-subscribed to the podcast and it still is just an empty shell.
What's wrong? I can listen to the podcast from the iTunes store, but I just can't seem to get it onto my desktop, let alone my iPod. All of the other functionality of iTunes and my iPod seems to be intact.
Any input is appreciated!!

Hi catspaw!
Have you reset your Subscriptions Preferences, in My Settings?
Change them once and Save, Then change them back to the options you prefer, and Save again.

How can I delete all Podcast subscriptions at once?

Is there a way to unsubscribe to all Podcasts at one time? Command A doesn't seem to work. My downloads are taking forever since it keeps looking for new episodes of programs that haven't been up dated in years.
I'd like to just zap them all and build a new subscription list from current shows that I actually listen to now.
thanks
I'm on a new Mac Book Pro running Maverick, itunes 11.3 - whatever the latest one is, I got it yesterday.
Thanks

Select 'list' from the top bar when viewing the podcasts.
Now select all, right click (or ctrl+click) and choose unsubscribe.
I haven't tested this since I have many podcasts in subscribed & unsubscribed state. If the only option is to 'subscribe' do that & then undo it the same way
You could delete them all if you know what subscriptions you want to recreate - you can also copy the podcast URL's too when all items are selected (mine seems to make many duplicates, but these can be pruned out - the 'sort' command makes this trivial - ask if interested).

HT6546 How do you get podcast subscriptions to download on my iMac?

I had several podcast subscriptions automatically downloading daily to iTunes on my iMac. When I installed Maverick they stopped and I can't find a way to get them started again. I looked for help on the iTunes site and all it talks about is in connection with a device and nothing about my computer. It tells me to click on things that do not exist and is totally worthless. I tried to resubscribe in the normal manner and it doesn't work beyond downloading a single episode while I wait. it only downloads at the speed of listening to it. How do I get these podcasts started again?

The very first thing you should have done when you got the new External was to change to Mac compatible to Extended and Journaled then all will be well again. Get out the paperwork that came with the Drive and read it.

How do I move my iTunes podcast subscriptions to a new computer?

I have a Dell computer running Windows XP.
I just purchased an Inspiron laptop running Vista and want to move my podcast subscriptions (I have a lot of them) to the new installation of iTunes on the laptop.
I cannot find any instructions on how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. - Love my iPhone!

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. On a PC the default location is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

How do I find a downloaded podcast subscription that is not showing up in my library?

I downloaded a podcast subscription and it will not show up in my podcast library in Itunes. I tried to download it again but it says it is downloaded. What can I do?

Is the Podcast in iTunes U, which is a separate section within you iTunes Library? If you cannot see iTunes U on the left hand side, under "Library", click on Edit/Preferences/General>iTunes U (tick "on").
Did you actually download this programme "as a Podcast" through the iTunes Store or by subscribing to the Podcast feed in Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast? Or did you get it from the show's website?
Have you checked alternative spellings and even programme titles for the Podcast? (I have one programme, titled "Focus", but which appears under "BBC", who produced it!) Use the Search facilty to check your library.
If all else fails, what is the title of the Podcast, perhaps that may help us find it?

ITunes "Forgets" Podcast Subscriptions

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and iTunes has started a disturbing behavior. It forgets podcast subscriptions if there are no episodes in iTunes for it to sync. I listen to several daily podcasts that I delete after listening to them. Since I have upgraded the OS, I have to re-subscribe to these podcasts on my iPod Touch whenever I get a new episode if there were no episodes in iTunes at the time. Am I missing a setting in iTunes or something that is making the iPod Touch forget its podcast subscriptions? Thanks for your help.

I am also having this problem.

Protecting Podcast Subscriptions from Accidental Deletion

When I:
1) select (intentionally or unintentionally) a podcast that does not have any audio files in it, then
2) click "delete",
iTunes will delete the Podcast Subscription without asking for confirmation. This is incredibly frustrating to me. Is there a way (iTunes setting, plugin, or otherwise) to "protect" my podcasts from accidental deletion? All I really want is for iTunes to ask me "are you certain you want to unsubscribe from this Podcast?"
Thank you,
Dimitri

Hi Marcin,
It does facilitate OU protection, but by default in 2008 R2 when you create an OU it is set to be protected. Ensuring people untick the box and then manually protect that OU (by assigning rights directly to it rather than ticking the box) every time an OU
is created for something as futile as preventing an OU from being deleted is almost a complete waste of time and the effort vs utility almost dictates that we'd be better off not having the prevent accidental deletions there at all. After all, we've survived
Windows 2000 and 2003 without this functionality...
As for the scenario, I'll give you a very simple example:
You have Workstations under Workstations>Department Name>Desktops. You obviously have several GPOs linked at either one of those 3 places. All of a sudden, as part of testing a new deployment, you are required to add another GPO to the existing ones.
As part of the testing phase, you create a Dev OU under Desktops and link the new GPO to the new Dev OU. At the same time that you do this, do you really go and create a new OU under Desktops to hold all the already existing objects under desktops and therefore
prevent having any leaf-level objects and an child OU under the same parent OU? You could claim that a better way of doing it would be to create a Test OU at the top level of Workstations, but then you'd have to work out the effective permissions and GPOs
at the other OU level and replicate it on the newly created one...
