Why am I losing podcast episodes from iTunes?

I'm fairly new to iTunes as a podcaster and initially had 5 podcasts listed. For some reason 3 of them have vanished, leaving only the two most recent episodes. Can anyone help?

Hi Cameron,
Here's what I think is happening. Your feed contains both blog posts and podcast items (which is OK - iTunes just won't display any <item> that hasn't got an <enclosure> tag). Your feed though has exactly 10 items.
So I suspect that, as you post new blog items, they are pushing out podcast entries and shortening your podcast feed.
Is there a setting you can change in your blogging software to increase the number of items in your feed? It might also be worth seeing if you can have a separate podcast feed, and just use that in the iTunes Store.
Hope this helps,
Greg.

Removing podcast episodes from iTunes 12 but keeping the files

I want to be able to remove a podcast episode from iTunes 12 but keep the audio file on my computer. This used to be an option, but now I am no longer asked if I want to keep the file. It's just automatically moved to the Trash. I like to archive podcast episodes on my external drive, but I don't always feel like getting the drive out when I'm done listening, plugging it in and dragging and dropping the files. I'm lazy like that. I would keep the episodes I plan to archive on iTunes until I feel like breaking out the drive, except that brings me to my second issue: my podcasts seem to all be set to automatically delete played episodes after 24 hours, at least depending on what view I'm in. I have "Delete Played Episodes" set to "Off" in my default podcast settings, and when I context click a podcast in the "My Podcasts" view and select "Podcast Settings" it says "Delete Played Episodes" is "Off". However when I go to the Playlists view, select an episode and click the "Settings..." button at the bottom, it always says the selected podcast has "Delete Played Episodes" set to "On", even if I click to change it to "Off" in that view. So there's obviously a contradiction there. I don't want to take the chance that my played episodes will be automatically deleted so the sooner I get them off iTunes the better. Unfortunately that means deleting them, then dragging them from Trash back to the iTunes Media/Podcasts folder and into each appropriate podcast folder, which is annoying. Please tell me that the removal of the "Keep the file" option is just a bug. If Apple is, for whatever reason, trying to discourage me from moving my played episodes out of iTunes and onto another drive, then I'm just going to stop using iTunes altogether.

The iTunes Store reads your feed at intervals and caches the contents (the information, not the actual media files): when you make a change to the feed it usually takes 1-2 days for this to be reflected in the Store. Pinging doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Very occasionally it all slows down and can take several days.

Does anyone know how to delete a podcast episode from iTunes?

Hello,
Myself and some comrades have been producing a podcast for a few weeks now. We were approved to be on the iTunes store, and subsequently available as a subscription thru iTunes... The problem is that for a few days the hosting site we're using wasn't working and we couldn't upload mp3 files, so we were publishing episodes and for the audio we were uploading them onto an alternate site and linking the audio to the published podcast so they would still be available for subscibers thru iTunes. Now, the hosting site is working again, and I'm trying to edit the episodes that were published using links to the alternate sites and change them so that they're using the audio from my hosting site. I've editted the episodes on the hosting site, but even after doing a 'podcast refresh' (ping) the old episodes are still showing up on itunes...
Anyone have any ideas on how to delete or edit individual episodes on itunes without deleting the entire podcast???
If you have an answer to this problem, or if this isn't making sense but u think u might know what i'm trying to ask please email me at iwantitnow (at) hush (nospam) com
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
so here's the itunes store URL for the podcast i'm referring to:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=321340618
here's the URL for the podcast blog:
http://anotherworldispossible.podbean.com/
I'm not sure if that's what ur asking for, but in case i'm wrong, here's what i think is the feed url:
http://anotherworldispossible.podbean.com/feed/
You'll see what i mean if you see the podcast blog site, the post at the top, "Anarcho-Syndicalism" is published by uploading the mp3 onto the hosting site, the post underneath that, "the coming insurrection (part 2)" is when the upload function wasn't working, and it just has a link to the mp3 hosted on another site. (itunes subscribers still can listen to it, and it doesn't appear different, but for visitors who usually listen using a live stream from the host, it looks different) I'm trying to go from the second post's setup to the first post's setup without re-posting it and having the same file show up twice in itunes which has already happened. also, since i did that already (deleted the post, then re-published it), is there a way to delete the first file (episode) that still shows in itunes for subscribers to our channel??
thanks so much for your help!

Why won't my podcasts sync from Itunes onto my Ipod (5th Gen/30Gb/Video)?

I have other podcasts that played on my Ipod before. But the newer ones are not syncing on my Ipod. I did have TV shows sync on my Ipod. Why they would only sync and not the others is beyond me. Also are podcasts the same as video podcasts? I know on my Ipod there are categories called "podcasts, or video podcasts". Please help!!

Error messages:
1. Some of the videos in your itunes library, including the video "Derezzed by Daft Punk", were not copied to the iPod "Ba25's iPod" because they can not be played on this iPod.
2. Five different videos (podcasts - TV and Film) were not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod "Ba25's iPod".
I've had other podcasts sync onto my iPod from a few years ago.

How do I remove a podcast episode from my iPod touch that has been deleted from iTunes?

How do I delete a podcast episode in itunes 11?

I typically download podcast episodes in iTunes and then sync them with my phone. I listen to the podcasts on my iPhone and then delete them when done. I have been doing this for years. Now, I cannot figure out how to delete the individual episodes from my podcasts in iTunes 11. What am I missing?

You and me both!
I started out with an Apple+ way back when. We came back from Christmas vacation to a faculty meeting where an AEA (Area Education Agency) employee was to introduce us to this new BIG DEAL - computers!
Afterward, the math/science people the superintendent expected to get so excited took a walk while his ENGLISH department learned to type 10 HELLO, etc. until you got a document window open and could enter text, AND CORRECT IT, causing it to print out WITHOUT mistakes. My typing skills were non-existent, so I went to the elementary teachers and borrowed a program they used to introduce students in second grade to the keyboard. (I was a jr./sr. high school teacher, and nobody could figure out why I'd never been taught to type.
Sigh.
I SURE HOPE THEY GET OVER THIS MESS IN A HURRY! I want to go back to i-Tunes 10+ whatever I was at, but Lion won't let me dump i-Tunes, as it is part of the OS. BUMMER!
Most of all I hate the sneaky way they introduced this, just like it was a regular upgrade, not something that would ruin our work methods of many year's standing and giving us NOTHING to replace it with short of scrolling down through 1700+ podcasts. UCK!

Hi, I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes and would like to copy it to a usb flashdrive to watch on my tv which has a usb port, can anyone tell me if this is possible please? I can see the tv episode in my Library but i can't drag to usb drive

Hi
I have downloaded a tv episode from itunes, I would like to watch it on my tv, not the computer.
My tv has a usb port, what I would like to do is copy tv episode to usb flash drive and then play on my tv.
I have tried dragging the episode from the library to the usb drive, I thought I had been successful but when I looked it was just text.
Can anyone advise if it is possible please ?

It won't work, they are linked to your account and can only be played via iTunes on a computer, an iOS device or Apple TV. You might be able to get a cable to link your Mac to your TV so that you can play/mirror it through your TV e.g. if it's a Macbook with an HDMI socket and your TV also has an HDMI socket then you could try an HDMI to HDMI cable (Apple do them, and electrical stores should also have them) - I've used one to play iTunes TV programmes on my TV (though I don't think that I got sound through my TV, only my Mac).

I bought a TV episode from iTunes (I have version 10 installed), but when I try to play it on my laptop, it keeps stopping and starting, with the voices out of sync with the action. The action is stop/start as well., and occasionally it skips 5 or 10 seconds altogether, making it impossible to watch. What settings can I change to fix the problem.

Repair your QuickTime.
Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

Episodes from iTunes

I recently purchased some LOST episodes from iTunes to watch on my G3 iBook but when I play them they run really bad. (Lagging video mostly) So I assume its my iBook (I've had it for awhile). So I burned the episodes to CD (I have a CDR/DVD Player on my iBook) and figured I would bring it to work and burn the episodes on DVD using iDVD (I have a G5 with a DVD Burner at work) so that I can just watch the episodes I bought as a DVD on my iBook. But when I try to drag the movie to my project in iDVD I get a windwo that says Unsupported file type: Invalid Video. When I click get info on one of the epsiodes it says its a MPEG-4 Video File. Can anyone tell me what's wrong or if there is a different way to watch the episodes I bougth from iTunes on my G3 iBook without it lagging so much. Thanks for any help you can give me.
iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Your G3 iBook doesn't have the computing horsepower necessary to play the clips properly.
TV episodes from iTunes can be copied to CD/DVD data discs for backup only.
It is not possible to use them to create a DVD that can be played by DVD players.

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes iPhone 4s?

Why can't I sync tunes from iTunes on my Sony Vaio to my iPhone 4s? My computer recognizes my phone but iTunes doesn't. Does it just need updating, if so then how do I do that? I haven't been able to sync tunes onto my iPhone 4s yet (I got it at christmas 2013)

Hello, EloiseGO100.
Since your device is not recognized in iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?
