What happened to Podcasts in Itunes 10.4.0.80 for Windows?

I just installed Itunes for Windows on Windows 7, it is version 10.4.0.80, on a new computer. I went through the proceudre of subscribing to a podcast by going into Advanced >> Subscribe to Podcast. I expected to be able to see my subsribed podcast appear when I click on the Podcasts header in the navigation tree on the left. This is when I noticed that there is no Podcasts header. In the new version under "Library" I have "Music", "Films", "TV Programmes" and "Radio". I can't remember what version I was using before but I am pretty sure there used to be Podcasts here too. It doesn't appear anywhere on the list. Clearly the podcast section has just been moved somewhere, but where? I have repeated the action of subscribing several times and that seems to work with no errors, so it is definititely not a case of there just not being anything subscribed to. I only use Itunes to listen to podcasts, so this is rather crucial for me! Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this mystery.

I found this happeneing too since upgrading from 10.3.x to 10.4 and can't beleive its still there in 10.5.
Mine gets to between 1.2 and 1.6Gb before I get the 'Can't save library' error popup. If it happens late at night then the next day iTunes may be completely unresponsive - can't even bring it in to focus, so have to kill the process in Task Manager.
This iTunes instance has been running for 15min short of one day of continuous playback! and based on it's current memory leakage, it's about to fail.
For what it's worth, you can downgrade to 10.3 (you should be able to find sites archiving previous versions - Apple used to provide a link on their iTunes page, but I can't find it now). I was running or over a week with no decernable memory leakage, but as I wanted to upgrade to iOS5 on my phone, I had to go to 10.5.  I've got a MacBook Pro too, so may use that for iPhone updating and see if iOS5 will still sync music on 10.3 ...via direct USB connect of course!
But, you'll also have to find the various guides for downgrading.
Loosly put, you have to locate the backed up .itl files in your profile. It will have a date stamp in the filename to indicate when the upgrades took place.
i.e iTunes Library 2010-11-22.itl
It's a bit of trial and error unless you know how many upgrades you've done since 10.3!
On Vista/Server 2008, the path to the backups is
Users\<your user ID>\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries
Make a copy of your current .itl (in the parent iTunes folder) and copy and rename one from the backups. You'll need to rename the file back to the same as the current one (iTunes Library.itl)
Hope this helps and hope that Apple pull the finger out of their cloud!

    What happens to my apps, iTunes card, and iCloud storage if I change my Apple ID?

    Depends upon what you mean by change.
    If you update your existing account to have a new primary email address then you shouldn't lose any of the account's past purchases, balance, or iCloud storage - you may have to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud (Settings > iCloud > Sign Out).
    If you create a new account then your existing account's purchases, balance and iCloud storage will remain tied to the existing account, you can't transfer them to a new account or merge the new account with the old one.

  • What happens if I don't set a client id for durable subscribers?

    What happens if I don't set a client id for durable subscribers?

    If you do not set a clientID in 2.0, it will automatically set a clientID for
    you. This means that you MUST unsubscribe the durable subscriber on the same
    host (since otherwise the clientID's will be different)
    In general, its good practice to set a client ID anytime you are using durables
    (so that you have some control).

  • ITunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows Breaks iTunes Match

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works.  It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already.  This issue has been going on for over a week with no response from Apple Support.  Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?  What can I do to remedy this problem?

    I use a utility called ByeTunes that removed Itunes completely of my pc "It's free"       and got a good down load of Itunes.a few weeks after they correct the upgrade.LOL

  • I cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows

    i cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows even the .mov files ?? i cant also drag any videos to the liberary .. just music ..whats wrong??

    The supported formats are listed on Apple's iPad webpage -> http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    So, it would have to be in one of those formats. It can be a little confusing because the extension doesn't always tell you the codec that the video inside that file needs. You'll probably have to transcode the video with some other application or recreate it yourself.

  • Error - iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 ???

    In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
    I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???

    You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter.  That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
    Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

    How To convert mp4 to mp3 using itunes 11.1.3.8 for windows
    The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
    For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
    If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

  • What happens after unchecking 'Keep iTunes Music folder organized'?

    After unchecking the 'Keep iTunes Music folder organized' option, am I right in thinking that future additions to the library are simply linked from their default location? If so, what happens when ripping CDs, and how is it possible to rename or move files/folders without iTunes failing to find them and having to add them again?

    It's more what doesn't happen rather than what does. If you like to organise your own folders in your Music folder you must leave it unchecked, as checking it gives iTunes the authority to rename and move tracks at will.
    If you rip a CD with iTunes and the iTunes Music folder according the tabs recovered from Grace note. The hierarchy is Artist\album.
    This is not affected by Keep iTunes Music folder organised.
    If you add tracks already on your PC, depending on the setting of "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library, iTunes will either store a link to the track in its current location or copy it into the iTunes Music folder according to the tags.
    It is not possible to move or rename any track in your library or iTunes will lose it. There is no folder watch feature.
    So you need to place and name a file BEFORE adding it to the library if you want to manage your own folders. Once added you can't change it without having to either add it again or find it manually in iTunes.
    The only thing you can do is to use iTunes to move the whole iTunes Music folder to a new location.

  • What happens if I change itunes accounts for my iphone ?

    What happens to the data on my phone if I change Itunes accounts ?

    What happens if you reset all settings?
    All settings will be reset.
    No idea what you are asking.
    You should not leave your phone number on a public forum.

  • What happened with the last iTunes update? Only my purchased music remains.My iPhone still has everything.

    Anyone know how to put your ripped music back into iTunes from your iPhone? I tried syncing but it gives a warning saying are you sure you want to erase your media or something to that effect.I'm afraid to do anything now and it happened right after the last itunes for windows update. I spent hours ripping cds to have them stored in iTunes in case anything ever happened to my cds or devices. Did I waste my time?

    Restore your library from an up to date backup.
    If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
    Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • What happens when I reinstall itunes?

    If I reinstall itunes on my PC (windows), does that create any problems with my devices that are syncing to iTunes?

    If you don't see the expected content in your library see the further information section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • My iPOD classic (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what happens when the headphones come out.  Any fix for this?

    My iPOD class (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what
    happens when the headphones come out.  Is there any fix for this?

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!
