Why are podcast being synced as part of my music library?

I think other people are having similar problems, but I can't seem to find a topic that's exactly the same as mine, so apologies if this is a repost:
I have a 20" Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2. I have a 4GB iPod Mini, and a Music Library consisting of 267 songs (1.6 GB total), and several podcasts that I subscribe to. When I attached my iPod to this particular Music Library and set the synchronization settings, I checked the box under Music for it to sync my entire library (since it was well under my 4 GB limit), told it to sync only the most recent episode of 3 podcasts, and disabled disk use, contacts and iCal.
When I clicked "Apply", I was told that there wasn't enough space on my iPod to sync everything, and did I want to turn off Podcast syncing. It struck me as odd (there was no way that three podcasts were taking up the remaining 2.4 GB of space), but I clicked OK anyway. THEN I was told that there wasn't enough space to synchronize my entire music library, and did I want iTunes to select what songs to copy. Befuddled, I clicked OK, and then saw the progress meter copying 1 of 309 songs. This was VERY strange, since my library window showed only 267 songs and 1.6 GB.
As I watched the progress, I saw it copying episodes of my podcasts! Why is iTunes recognizing my podcasts as part of my music library when they don't show up in my library window? I checked my library folder, and all my podcasts are within the "podcasts" folder, and inside their respective folders on top of that. Is this a bug or a "feature". The only way I was able to get the sync to work correctly was to tell iTunes to only sync my playlists, but that didn't work completely, because there are items in my library which aren't in specific playlists.
Any insight that you could offer would be appreciated. TIA.

Figured it out...make sure your default "smart" playlists are set to ignore "Genre > Contains > Podcast". Otherwise you end up with Podcasts in your playlists that you didn't know were there.

After deleting files, there does not seem much improvement on the disk space.
Felicia,
Download Omni Disk Sweeper: it is free now and will list your files and folders sorted by size.
But don't get carried away and sweep and delete anything that you do not know what is is required for:

I recovered from time machines's backup harddisk
Time Machine may be using the disk space - if you have Time Machine enabled and not the backup drive connected, TM will make local snapshots, if you have free disk space. See Pondini's webpage for more information: Time Machine - Questions 30. What are Local Snapshots?
I disable these local snapshots on my portable macs, to be sure, how much space really is free.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

Notes from iPad and iPhone are not being synced to my Mac with iCloud

I have been really hesitant to even use iCloud, but i just started to try to use it yesterday - and my Notes from my iPad and iPhone are not being synced together, and both Notes from my iPhone and iPad are not even being seen to my Mac.
What am i doing wrong with this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

I don't use sync and am not signed in? Why are my bookmarks syncing?

My office computer has one set of bookmarks I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I don't use sync and am not signed into sync on either PC. Why are my bookmarks syncing between the two PCs? For instance, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu above a separator line that I do not use at work. I deleted them. I get home and find those same bookmarks gone from my home PC. I don't want to sync anything between the two computers, why is this happening?

Perhaps an add-on is syncing these for you.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Why are images being copied from a linked library that aren't modified

I'm trying out the linked library feature and that is my preffered way of using iPhoto but I notice that many images that haven't been modified in iPhoto are being copied as full res modified images. My camera Nikon D2x supports auto rotation of verticle images which keeps me from having to manualy rotate these images. I understand that when I modify an image using iPhoto's tools that a full res image will be copied into a modified folder but why are images that have simply been tagged in camera as needing rotation being copied as well. Vertical images account for at least half of all images I shoot and diplaying them properly should be a look at exif or other metadata and applying rotation but since they are images straight from camera they shouldn't show as modified. Anyone have experience or suggestions on how to avoid having auto rotated images show as modified?

blinden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I ran into that but in a different way. I had all of my image files in folders on a second HD and used another application to manage them. I decided to use iPhoto's alias method to work with the same files. I got a lot of files that were copied over as modified. Have no idea why. I ended up doing global revert to Original several times, watching the Modified folder via the Finder, until it became empty. I then closed iPhoto, dragged the Modified folder to the trash and then launched iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and rebuild the library using the first three options. That worked and got me a pristine library.
I had not figured out why that happened. I've had the auto-rotate turned off for about a year now. Had I know what was causing it I could have checked to see if all of those bogus modified files occurred before I had turned off that option in the camera. I'm guessing now that that's what I would have found. Thanks for the info.

Why are certain songs syncing to my iPhone!?

I have iTunes set to sync a couple if specific playlists (both smart, and static). However, there are a handful of certain songs that keep syncing to my iPhone no matter how many times I delete them. They are not in any of the playslists set to sync. How can I get it to stop doing this?
iPhone 4S, current version of iTunes, current version of iOS and OS X.

By chance did you buy these songs on your iPhone? If so, they are checked to sync (always) to the iPhone.
If you go to the Music sync are in iTunes, there are playlists, articles and individual songs. All songs you've purchased on the iPhone are checked in the "songs" box. You may have to scroll through 15,000 songs to find them.
I've been caught out by this before as well. It's frustrating ;-)

I transferred all my music to my new computer, went to sync my iphone and the music library won't sync. It's like it's leaving the old library on and trying to add a duplicate one, keeps saying there isn't enough room. Help please?

Everything from my old computer is still in the music portion of my phone, I don't know how but it hasn't synced that part. I went through and edited the new library and there are fewer songs, it's telling my I don't have enough room on my phone. This is impossible when it is less music than I am currently holding. How do I get it to delete the old information and put on the new library?

How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??, Why do my previous purchases show in my iTunes music library but not accessible??

I received my new Macbook Pro today and have attempted to sync my iphone 4s with it, unfortunately like a bit of a moron I've ended up wiping all my music on my iphone.
I have then gone into Itunes and re-downloaded all my previous purchases (music tracks). They have all appeared in my music library but all but 4 are greyed out, will not play and will not allow me to do anything with them!
Can anyone help me, help the Mac newby sort his life out! I'd be lost without them and more to the point would have lost a fortune in music I'd paid for if I couldn't get them back!!
Cheers,
Chris

IPod Podcasts tab empty after consolidating iTunes 7 music library

I followed these instructions to move my iTunes 7 library to a different hard drive. All seemed fine.
Except that when I connected each of my 2 iPods the first time after moving the library, each one complained that no podcasts could be synced because all of the podcasts that had been enabled for syncing were now missing; and then the podcasts that had been on the iPods were deleted.
And sure enough, the "podcast" tab in each iPod's preferences (where one can select which podcasts to sync to a given iPod) shows no available podcasts.
Weirdly (and fortunately), the Podcast source in the source list is fine. All of my subscribed podcasts are displayed, and each episode is still playable (and the music files are intact, in the new location). Additionally, chosing to sync "all" podcasts on the podcast tab would seem to work, because I'm told there's not enough space to move all the podcasts, and asked if I want to turn off podcast syncing for the iPod.
But there are no podcast subscriptions visible in tbat list, so I can't select any to sync. It seems to be all or nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
12 PB G4 1GHz, 30GB/Combo/768MB; Mac Pro 4x2.66 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7.0.1

I was able to fix this problem, just by chance. I manually updated a podcast in the podcast source list, and discovered a little later that the podcast I'd updated was again visible in the iPod's podcast tab.
I went through all of my subscribed podcast entries in the source list and updated them (right+click -> "Update Podcast") and now they're all visible again in the iPod podcast tab.
Hope this helps someone else.

Loading or transferring PART of my music library to new iPhone 4S

How do I tranfer SOME of my music library to my new ipone 4S? When I hook the phone up to the computer it just starts all the tranfer immediately - ALL videos ALL musci. So I stop it as I just want to tansfer part of my music. I transferred part of my music to my ipad1 Why can I not do the same with my new iphone?

go to your music library in itunes and untick the songs you do not want to copy and then sync the new phone. Make sure that you do a backup first and that you do not sync things that you do not want to and that you do not leave anything out that you want to include
