Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

Why are my podcasts being deleted?

I have transferred some podcasts to new generation touch. Seems after I view them once they vanish. I am not deleting them.

Are your sync options set to +manually manage music and videos?+ I tried that at first, but I kept deleting everything when I was experimenting with the settings. So now I have it set to do the automatic sync, and to +sync only checked songs and videos.+ That also ensures that iTunes creates the Backup file each day that I sync.
What I was referring to is the sync settings in the Podcasts tab, like this:
I was speculating that yours is set to only sync unplayed podcasts. After you play them on the iPod they become invisible, then are deleted the next time you sync. If so, set it to All, Sync again, and see if they will remain on your iPod.
btw I have hundreds of posts on the forums. Have no idea why I had to reregister all of a sudden.

Why are random calendar events being deleted from my iphone when I sync it with ical?

My settings are such that events entered on both devices should push to both devices when I sync. The events being deleted from my iphone are not consistent (ie. older than a certain date), they are random.

This happens to me INCESSANTLY. I'm looking at my calendar events one second, and POOF!, the next second all of the events I've entered into the calendar- with the exception of birthdays that are on the actual contact information for a person- are GONE. My calendar settings are set to sync all events- no timeframe- and always have been. This happened to me nonstop on my old iPhone 3GS, and I was sure it was the phone causing this issue. Now, I have my new iPhone 5 in my hands and same ol' , different equipment. I have done EVERYTHING I can think of to prevent this from happening or to restore the data- including rebooting, holding home button and on/off at same time, etc.- and NOTHING works to restore the data. And then, just as magically as the data disappeared, POOF!- the data is back randomly sometime later. That "later" may be 5 mins, a day, several days. This is an absurd and EXASPERATING glitch that APPLE NEEDS TO FIX IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm starting to hate the iPhone and Apple in general when I continuously experience HUGE glitches like this that have a profound impact on what you're trying to accomplish within a feature that you DEPEND on... yet Apple has "never heard of that problem before". You suck, Apple. Don't send your problems out into the real world, to users who just gave you $800 for another glitchy piece of equipment that never solves your software issues.

App or podcast downloaded to iphone is deleted from iphone and transferred to iTunes 11. How can I keep the file from being deleted from the iPhone?

I recently updated iTunes from version 10.x to 11. In version 10, I could download a podcast or an app to my iPhone from the app store, then the app or podcast would co COPIED to iTunes during a sync. Now with version 11, when I sync, the app or podcast is deleted from my iPhone and MOVED to iTunes. How can I get back the old feature of making a copy? This is a very dumb thing that happens in iTunes and I can not believe that I am the only one to complain abou this. Please help me. What do I need to change in iTunes to keep my copy on the iPhone.
Thanks to all you geniouses out there!

Not 100% sure of your question. If you are wanting to delete apps from itunes just right click then delete then empty recycle bin.

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

Likely that your optical drive is either failing or has a dirty laser lens and cannot read the disks.....

My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

SnippetPreview$.htm - Why are these not being deleted?

I have the following files in my project folder:
SnippetPreview$.htm
SnippetPreview1$.htm
SnippetPreview2$.htm
SnippetPreview3$.htm
SnippetPreview4$.htm
I noticed them because they are not in Visual SourceSafe so they appear when I go to add files to VSS when I create new snippets. They contain the text of snippets I've created.
I know they are harmless, but why are they not being automatically deleted from RH when no longer needed?
Is this a setting or preference I can set?

Sometimes temporary files are left behind. These are just files created on previewing a snippet and like any other temporary files are not deleted. Just delete them.

Why are my posts being deleted?

I have posted a question on email not working twice, and it appears on line for a few minutes then disappears!!
Way is it being deleted?
My post count shows the right number of posts, but the posts have gone.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I do not think your posts were deleted - there are at least 5 almost identical posts on the board now!
As for the nokiamail/yahoo trouble I gave up trying to make it work more than a month ago. The root cause for the error that I and others had were not found, and it is not important enough for me to persist. At this time the proper place to complain about Nokia mobile devices and mobile services is of course Microsoft. I wish you good luck trying to convince Microsoft that they should sort out trouble with a competing freemail service.

Why are modified contacts being deleted?

I have a lot of duplicates in my iPhone 4S and for the last two days, I painstakingly added twitter info, addresses, Facebook IDs and other information to some of the frequently used contacts. Let's say about 20 contacts (I have thousands of contacts with thousands of duplicates). I was pleased with the way iPhone contacts app is built and I didn't think much about until a friend called an I noticed his name was not appearing on the screen. I later realised that every contact that I had modified by adding or deleting duplicates (20 of them) were stripped off of all the information that I had added and only a few details were left. Funnily, the duplicates didn't come back either. I have a backup of all my contacts on Smartr app so I am not worrying about the loss of data but I am disappointed and angered that contacts app has a mind of its own! Interestingly I haven't even synced the phone to iTunes. I am really confused why the contacts that I modified are tampered by the software. What can I possibly do? Can't I ever use the native contacts app to modify and delete contacts?

Hi Gothichero,
Do you have your Contacts set to "On" for iCloud? Not sure why what is happening to you is happening, but if you do have them on for the Cloud, then even if you haven't sync'd to iTunes, there would be syncing going on with the Cloud...
I would suggest switching the Contacts to Off on your phone, doing the updates, then switching back on again.
Also, here is a link that may help you with the whole iCloud/Contacts business:

Hope that helps!

Why are inbox mesgs being deleted when I close my e-mail program ?

Hello. Thanks for your help.
Every time I finish reading my inbox e-mails, then close the program,
all the inbox messages are automatically deleted.
When I open the inbox the next time, all messages that were in the inbox are gone forever.
Thank you.
Marlene Lorberer

POP or IMAP? If IMAP, have you checked what appears on the server, via your email provider's website? Are the missing messages visible there?
You may have inadvertently selected a setting that shows only unread messages, so when you come back to Thunderbird they are hidden after having been read. Check you have View|Folders|All, and that the Read selector in the QuickFilter toolbar is de-selected.

Old podcasts completely deleted from system with no ability to recover them

Actually, this isn't really a question, so much as a comment and a very upsetting situation I've found myself in. I updated my iTunes and the next thing I know, all of my old podcasts were completely wiped off of my computer. I had some very rare interviews....all gone now. Anytime a program is going to have a major change like that, there should be some sort of warning. I am deeply upset by this because some of these podcasts are no longer available which means that these interviews are gone. I will never be able to hear them again.
Thank you iTunes.

I was going to link directly to one of my earlier posts like this, but I've added in just a little more information...
I'm fairly sure the reason for this is a due to a mismatch between options to Keep all episodes in iTunes and Keep all unplayed or some similar option on your device when the new option (introduced in iTunes 11.1) to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations has been enabled. I lost all played episodes of all podcast series that I synced to my devices.
Series that weren't synced were left untouched. iTunes still recorded both my default option and series specific options to Keep all episodes. iTunes doesn't manage my media folders. The deleted episodes were not sent to the recycle bin. Some people have said they found some episodes there so check.
Here is the recovery process, assuming you have a backup of the deleted files...
1. Restore copies of all the deleted podcasts to the Podcasts folders from your backup.
2. Rename the current .itl file with the suffix (BAD), then move it into the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
3. Restore a copy of the pre-upgrade library from your backup or the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
4. If necessary, remove the trailing date from the library file restored in step 3.
5. Start iTunes, go to the Podcasts section.
6. Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations then click Continue. This should prevent a repeat of the deletions.
If the above screen doesn't show go to Edit >Preferences > Store and uncheck Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations.
7. On your devices you may also want to change the Episodes to keep to All in Settings > Podcasts and then again with the settings for each subscription in the app.
8. If, like me, you updated a whole bunch of apps before realizing there was a problem, you may find the restored library has multiple broken links to any apps that you updated. Use File > Add Folder to Library and select your Mobile Applications folder. Accept the offer to replace older versions with the files you are adding. iTunes may prompt that certain files cannot be updated because it can't find the file to add. Keep a note of these as it looks like this happens when both the old & new versions would be given the same file name and iTunes unhelpfully erases the file that it is supposed to add. You can delete any remaining broken entries, close iTunes, then reopen and download from iTunes Store > Purchased > Apps > Not on this computer.
If you don't have the episodes to restore then at least visit iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations before attempting to redownload any older episodes.
If you've lost episodes that cannot be redownloaded, and you've not done too much with the drive since, then an undelete tool might recover most of them. FreeRecover looks promising, Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from the podcasts folder that has a good integrity score. The free version of Recuva might also work.

HT1351 iTunes keeps adding back songs that are unchecked and manually deleted from my iPhone?

I am trying to get rid of songs on my iphone. I sync manually only certain playlists, I have double checked to make sure that these songs are neither in my playlists and or unchecked if they are in the Purchased Playlist for example? I have manually deleted them from my iphone only to have itunes add them back once I sync
What am I missing?

I am also having a similar problem. I have at least 100 songs I deleted from my itunes library and from my iphone that keep showing back up on my iphone. I have manually deleted them repeatedly from my iphone and yet they continue to show back up on the phone. They are not listed in my library so I have no idea where they are coming back from as they are not in the cloud either. I have also emptied the trash on my Macbook, so they cannot be coming from there either I would love for this to stop, as I keep getting a statement that my iphone is full, but if these 100 songs would stay off of my phone that woulld not be the case.

Why does a delated app keep trying to download every time I sync

I have deleted an app from my iPhone and it does not appear in my app. list any more, everytime I re sync using itunes it appears on my iPhone to be trying to download again. This appears to be messing up my synchronisation because the sync bar just keeps going until I delete the app from the iPhone screen every time. The particular app is a website app and I have deleted the website from everywhere on my computer in an attempt to stop this happening but it still keeps reappearing, any ideas please?

Hello,
You can delete them in your Downloads list but not permanently.
All you can do is contact iTunes Store Support :
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
(choose iTunes Store > Connecting and Downloading)
Hope this will help.

Why are my files being deleted?

I have an interesting problem and this is the second time it has happened in 2 months.
I have a mac mini server running mountain lion server with a disk partition where our client folders are stored. This partition is then shared across the network via file sharing.
Last Friday, a number of folders from this shared partition were deleted, alphabetically (about 4-5Gb of info) - about 6 client folders. The last time date I have is 5.09pm on the last top most folder that had items deleted. A Retrospect backup then started 5.13pm. (These may be unrelated). We were still working on some of these files around 3pm.
So sometime between 3pm and 5.13pm these files disappeared.
There were only 2 of us and one of us accidently deleting so many files seems unlikely.
This happened once before but only a few client folders were deleted.
I have done the following:
1. Scanned for viruses
2. Run recovery for deleted files
and found nothing, it is like they never were there.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
This one has left me bamboozled.

Nevermind. Audible was helpful. Once I tried to play one Audible book in iTunes, I was asked to authorize it, which then authorized all of them. The problem seemed to have been caused by changing computers. Apparently the authorization didn't move with me.
I still think it's confusing to have the Deauthorize Audible menu choice without an Authorize Audible choice.
