Viewing podcasts in Itunes library

How do I view and select/unselect the podcasts I already have in my itunes library in itunes version 1.4.1? I can't get it to show me all the individual podcasts I have already downloaded. It's irritating me so much- why make things so hard to access?

Just something that went wrong during the upgrade process from 4->5 I presume. Perhaps some corruption in the 4.x database that prevented the upgrade process from properly extracting the data.

  • HT1660 If I view a previous itunes library, will it delete/replace my current library?

    If I choose to view a previous itunes library, will it delete or replace my current library? I deleted a bunch of songs, and I'm hoping to be able to view them in a previous library.

    No. It should not affect your data. But it's a good idea to backup.

  • I seem to have lost "list view" for my iTunes library.  The option doen't even appear on the view drop down.  Any conncection to iCloud?

    I seem to have lost the ability to select list view for my iTunes library.  The choice for lst view doesn't even appear on the drop down when selectiogn "view".  Any ideas?  I recently enabled the cloud and subscribed to iTunes Match/  Any connection?  Thanks/

    See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11,  but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
    As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.

  • Deleting podcasts from iTunes library AND iPod?!? HELP.

    I have 61 podcasts on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
    I didn't want them anymore, so I unsubscribed and deleted the podcasts from iTunes.
    I synced to my iPod, assuming that the files would be automatically removed.
    But they weren't.
    I've tried checking and unchecking "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPod device page.
    I've tried checking "Sync all episodes of:.." and then not checking any podcasts.
    It's not worked so far. My iTunes is up to date and everything..my iPod charged..
    Im wondering HOW do you delete podcasts - or any other music, videos...etc - from your iPod and iTunes?
    Please help! Reply soon, I'm in desperate need.
    Thanks.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

  • Cannot add podcast to ITunes Library

    I cannot get iTunes to add to the library a podcast. I have successfully added 5 podcasts from the same site. For some reason this one podcast will not move from my desktop to the iTunes Library. (My purpose in moving the podcasts to the library is to be able to burn them to CD at some point. I always listen to these podcasts on my ipod but I have family who do not have computer and I wish to share a few with them.)

    I think this is similar to my post, "Downloading MP3s". When I dbl click a downloaded MP3, iTunes opens but it doesn't "import". The song isn't there. This is a recent phenomena...I think since upgrading to 10.1; but I'm not sure.

  • Unable to remove rogue podcasts from iTunes library

    Hi,
    I've recently imported some mp3 files into my iTunes library. The files were tagged as podcasts but after I imported them they didn't show up in either my music or podcasts libraries. The only place I could see the files in iTunes was in any smart playlists they happened to meet the criteria of.
    I've managed to fix this problem by copying the files in Finder, removing their ID3 tags, then re-importing them into iTunes. However, the rogue versions of the files tagged as podcasts are still popping up in my smart playlists. I can't remove them.
    Has anyone had any experience with this problem or otherwise know how I might fix it?
    Cheers!

    what does the dotted circle mean?

  • Podcasts in iTunes library

    I can't figure out all of the icons and their meaning regarding the podcasts I have downloaded into my library. Also, when I delete a podcast, if I "retain the files" what does that mean?

  • Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

    Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
    Hello Everybody!
    Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
    Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
    • Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
    The advantages include:
    - Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
    - The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
    - The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
    The disadvantages to this system include.
    - The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
    - If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
    - There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
    - Fast User Switching must be enabled.
    Overview:
    A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
    This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
    Process:
    Step 1:
    Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
    Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
    Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
    Overview:
    So far we have done the following steps:
    1. Organized the host library.
    2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
    3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
    Step 2:
    Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
    If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
    Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
    If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
    After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
    Overview:
    In this step we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
    Step 3:
    Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
    This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
    As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
    This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
    1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
    1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
    2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
    3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
    4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
    4a. with the following:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    empty trash
    end tell
    return input
    end run
    IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
    Overview:
    Here we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
    2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
    Step 4:
    If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
    Summary:
    We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
    I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.
    regards,
    Pete.

  • Issues accessing my iTunes library

    I have recently reinstalled my Windows OS however am having issues accessing my library. I have reinstalled the new iTunes software and cannot see my previous songs that were stored in my library only some of them appear. Can someone please explain my issue and how to workaround this? thanks.

    Hi - thanks for your reply
    The only songs we can view in our Itunes library all seem to be songs purchase from itunes. (approx 60-70)
    When we click on 'our ipod' button all the songs we have ever added to the ipod, (in excess of 600!) whether from a CD, or itunes are greyed out... so we are little stuck as to how we get them to appear in our itunes library.
    Could you let me know how you start the scan and get it to loaded back into the librabry at all please?
    Thanks,

  • Toggling Between iTunes Library and Music Store

    Does anyone know if there's a way to toggle between the Music Store and the most recent view in your iTunes Library? For example, if my current Library view is of a particular Artist, then I go to the Music Store, when I return to the Library, the display defaults to All Genres, All Artists, All Albums.

    Try double clicking the music store to open it in a new window. You can do the same for any playlists etc. In seperate windows, they won't affect one another.

  • HT3281 Podcasts disappeared from iTunes library and iPhone podcast app.

    All of my Podcast subscriptions and content suddenly disappeared from my iTunes library and from the Podcast app on my iPhone.  Checked iTunes to make sure it's running the latest version of software, and it is.  Music library appears to be OK.  How do I fix this and get my podcasts back?

    This just happened to me this morning. I sat down to update my podcasts, and discovered that every podcast I was subscribed to that had any recent episodes (I'm thinking since the first of this year, but no way to tell a definite date for sure) had disappeared. When my iPhone synced, they disappeared from it, as well. I looked them up in the iTunes Store podcast directory, and had to resubscribe to every one of them. And some of them only make a limited number of old episodes available in iTunes, so I've lost some without ever getting to listen to them.
    *** Apple? This is nonsense!
