Why All Podcasts Files Are Included In The Music Playlist????

I am desperate for an answer!!! I have searched online for hours and could not find a solution to this! I have the 5th Generation iPod and everything was fine in the beginning. I recently discovered all my podcast files are listed in the music playlist and this is very annoying because the podcasts are included in the library of songs! When I want to listen to songs, I just wanna listen to songs ... NOT PODCASTS! Why can't the iPod differentiate a podcast file with a music file? They lump them altogether in the music playlist!!!! Under the Podcast category, I found podcasts there also! Which means, the podcasts files are duplicates!!!
In a summary, this is what's happening:
1.) Podcast files are grouped in Podcasts playlist in iTunes. Music library does not show them - this is ok, everything's normal here
2.) Podcast files are listed in Podcast playlist in iPod - this is ok, as it should be
3.) Podcast files are listed in Music playlist in iPod - WHY????
I would appreciate some answers to this bizarre problem!!!
Thanks, guys!!!

well.....to get the podcasts out of the artists menu (if you don't mind them in the compilations menu) you have to go to the podcast's info and press "yes" for compilations. I hope that helps some of you because that isn't really my problem. Because i have a lot of podcasts there is a long list of them in the songs menu and that makes me angry. I wonder if Apple can make an update so that you can choose to have your podcasts in the Artists and Songs menus. If any Apple worker sees this, please do.
I also have been looking in the internet for answers to this and i have found that the only reason that this is useful if you want to hear a series of podcasts without having to choose a single one every single time.
I don't know if i read this here, but whoever said that iPods aren't perfect because of this flaw, then they are wrongs. How come they are rightly grouped in iTunes?
I forgot to mention this. The solution posted doesn't work because:
1. I erase all the podcast from iTunes and only keep them in my iPod.
2. I had to erase all my songs from iTunes because i had to format my computer. Yes, it was stupid because i could have backed them up, but i forgot.
3. When you sync something, you erase everything you have right now. It would take too long to download all the podcast and too much money to buy all the songs.

  • What files are included in the OSX Server backup?

    Hey,
    I'm a bit worried about my mail database on my OSX 10.8 Server.
    I'm using Time Machine all the time to backup the server but I'm not quite sure if the mail database (send/recieved/folders/users) of all my accounts are saved with Time Machine or not.
    Does anyone know what directories are saved using Time Machine on a Server? Was digging through the backup but it told me I don't have rights to view the filders :/ bummer
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Daniel,
    For the list of supported 'filetypes' which the ESA should be able to identify is when you click on attachment-filetypes on the content filter, the drop down would give a general classification as well as the list of supported extension.
    If you do not see the extension within the list here, then the suggested workaround is to use regex matching for the extension file names.
    attachment file info -> filename -> contains -> (?i)(\.(java|jar|js|jsx|jse|job))

  • What files are included in the file type "Java" in filter actions?

    Hello,
    I am looking to block inbound attachments that contain any type of Java file, and I am looking to use the "Java" file type as opposed to a regex statement that matches every file type:
    .java
    .jar
    .js
    .jsx
    .jse
    .job
    I've looked in the manual, it does not specify. Does anyone know if using this file type includes all these file extensions? Thanks!

  • .xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

    I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

  • How do you know what type of file is included in the 'Other' section?

    This is in regards to the capacity section in the summary tab of my ipod info. I have reached full capacity and cannot add any more songs to my ipod so would like to delete any unnecessary files. I have deleted all photos, most movies and TV shows. Only have a few movies and music videos in the Movies section.
    Is there any way of finding out which files are included in the orange 'Other' section? Help!

    My son is having this same problem. He only has 64 songs on his iPod Touch so far, but the "other" space has almost filled the iPod. He has no photos, other than the usual album artwork, no videos, notes, contacts, etc. and has erased all podcasts. We don't see "enable disk use" on the Summary page when he connects the iPod to iTunes. So we don't know if disk use has been enabled or not. I also can't find it in the Help topics. Where do we locate the disk option to see if it's turned on? He doesn't want to Restore as he will lose the upgrade and have to purchase it again. He uses a PC, if that makes a difference.
    Thanks for any insight.

  • Restarted Automatically And All my Files are Gone

  • Possible to have video playlists NOT show up in the music playlists tab?

    I like how when I go to videos > video playlists, my iPod will show only the playlists that contain only movies and music videos inside.
    Is it possible to have it so that the video-only playlists are parsed from the music > playlists tab? That section is cluttered enough as it is, and having empty playlists inside really doesn't help.
    Also, anyone have tips for managing large amounts of songs? Since I have a lot of one-hit-wonders, the artist and album tabs has gotten populated with 1-song artists and 1-song albums, making it a pain for browsing through in search of whole albums.
    Maybe I could put a symbol around the artist or album to make it higher or lower in the alphabet. From what I've seen, it goes symbols, numbers, then letters. Is there anything I can use to sort alphabetically in iTunes to be below the letter z?

    I just remembered something; japanese characters (letters) are sorted by iTunes below the letter z. Accented characters (such as ö) get sorted next to their regular (o is higher than ö).
    And so, I think I will go through and find all the albums and artists that only have one song to them and rename them using a japanese character so that they appear at the bottom of the album and artist lists. Should make looking through those much easier.
    I would still like an answer to my first question.

    Just installed CC on my PC, Windows 7, 64 bit system. Not seeing any applications on the desktop or installation folder. However, all the resource files are present in the installation folder. What am I doing wrong?
    I've installed three times with no luck. I downloaded the Creative Cloud Packager off the licensing site: https://licensing.adobe.com. I unpacked and choose my applications. The install seemed to be successful, but I don't so any of the applications anywhere.

    Hi,
    Creating package doesn't mean it will install the product,
    You will need to install the package now. Please follow the instructions mentioned in the below articles

  • I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw)

    Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw here.)
    Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

    I was confused by this statement
    It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
    OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD.  Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them.  There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD.  Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
    I would do three things.  First I would create a backup, backups are important.  Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD.  Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
    Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

  • Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)

    Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)

    Your files are unaffected by a reset.. no reset via the reset button on the TC harms, deletes or does anything to your files.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Here is how to do a fully manual setup for TC which is sometimes necessary with Mavericks in particular.
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • Metagen is skipped sometimes complaining because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files

    Hi,
    In one of my dll (VS2010), the process Skipping target "MetaGen" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
    it is at  random.  I have checked the time stamps of the dll and metagen.write.1.tlog both having the time stamp on the failed build.  But all files in release folder did not have the same time.  They are one hour earlier than the dll
    and the  metagen.write.1.tlog.
    On the good build  it said the input file is is newer than output file ".\Release\\metagen.write.1.tlog" and allfiles in the release folder have same time stamp.
    Any clue to solve this ?
    Regards,

    iCloud doesn't give you more storage on your device, it only gives you more storage in iCloud to sync data, store your backups, etc.  If you're running out of space on your iPad you'll have to delete some data off your iPad to free it up, such as syncing some of your music or other media off your iPad. 
    You can check how much free space is available on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and looking at the Available number at the top.
