Why Are Think Tanks Removing Podcast Subscriptions from iTunes?

Over the past year a few of the think tanks have ceased to use iTunes to host their podcasts. The most recent is the New America Foundation, which chose to move to SoundCloud as a host platform. Sadly, this erodes the one stop sourcing that makes iTunes valuable to podcasts listeners.
Does anyone know why such professional nonprofit organizations are finding iTunes suboptimal?

Or, again, they might just not have remembered to update their feed. If they list feeds in a lot of places, it wouldn't be that hard to just forget one or two. New America still claims their podcasts as being on iTunes:
http://newamerica.net/podcast
though nothing new has been listed in a couple of years, so I'm guessing that they just didn't change the feed, or for some reason weren't able to get it changed, as opposed to it being a decision not to list with iTunes.
Regards.

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.

Why are only the albums i purchased from itunes only visable on my Apple, but all are visable on my ipad

On itunes I have a mix of albums I purcahesd from itunes, and those uploaded from original CD's. I now have an Apple TV with itunes match, but only when the computer and itunes are on, are all albums are visable and playable on the Apple Tv. When itunes and computer is off, only albums purchased from itunes are visable in my music on the Apple TV. However, on my iPad, all albums are visable and playable, (cloud icon with down arrow next to track). I am on home sharing, and I thought Match would alllow playing of albums without the computer and itunes running, as on the iPad. I must have missed something somewhere? so a hit of guidance required plesase.Thanks

Hi again. Yes I did try turning match on and off both in the Apple Tv and itunes several time to no availaile.
However!!! I turned off home sharing and Match on itunes and shut it down. On the Apple TV I did a complete restart, which led to a lengthy period to carry out an upgrade. once completed I set up the Apple TV turned on Match, and lo and behold all the albums now appear in My Music!. Also confirm they are on computers by turning on itunes and home sharing and match. Everything appears to be OK now.

How do I remove Podcast(s) from iTunes 12

My device is a MacBook Pro, OSX 10.9.5 Maverick and with iTunes 12.0.1. I recently subscribed to a podcast that I was interested in. Prior to subscribing, I set the Podcast settings to
Limit Episodes>Off
Download Episodes>Off
Delete Played Episodes>On
Two days ago, the day I subscribed, I received 9 Updates, of those I downloaded two, and saved both. Today, two days later, under 'Recent Updates", it still shows all nine episodes: I understood they would be removed or 'drop out' after 24 hours if not downloaded or saved.
In the "My Podcast" screen, I can right click on each episode and my options are, among others, "Mark as Unplayed" "Save Episode" and Download Podcast Episode" I can change over to "Playlists" screen and have the same options, and get the same options when I click on the three dots to the right of each episode title. I can't find any drop-downs, menus, other settings, etc that allow for manual deleting, or would indicate the episodes are miss marked in any way as to have reason to stay on the computer. Is this a bug? or am I missing something?

Figured it out by accident. When I disconnected by iPad, the Books section came up in iTunes and I saw the PDF's there. I just clicked on the one's I wanted to delete and hit the Delete key. They are now gone. So easy.

Why can't I remove mine craft from iTunes?

I can't remove the Minecraft app from my ipad. Why not?

What happens when you hold the finger on the icon on your iPad, wait for the icon to jiggle, and touch the X in the top left corner of the icon.

Why are TV Shows and Music Disappearing from iTunes 10.6.3?

It started with my season pass for Walking Dead. I open iTunes mid-week last week, and they all showed a missing icon. Odd, but I'd watched them all, so I didn't really panic or even invesitgate. A couple days later, an entire album goes missing. Today, I have probably 20+ showing missing without any pattern as to why those files are missing. Some are part of complete albums, others are not. Some are .mp3 some are .aac files. I can guarantee you I did not delete them in iTunes, on my phone (whole library sync'd minus music videos) or on my iPad (limited sync).
iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes Match On

Unfortunately your 4S phone could have worked with an older iTunes that works with your old system version but Apple makes it so a new phone requires the version of iTunes current at the time of purchase. You do not tell us what model computer you have. Go to the apple in the upper left corner, then About This Mac, then More. If it says Intel in the processor information you can upgrade your system to 10.6.3 by purchasing a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple online ($20), then free update to 10.6.8 to run the newest iTunes. If you have a PPC Mac (older than about 6 years) you can only run the newest iTunes by buying a newer computer.

Why are closed caption movies being pulled from iTunes?

As of today there is only one movie left in all of iTunes that is Closed Captioned. This is a real problem for those in the deaf community that have purchased iPods & iPhones, or even just those who use iTunes on Macs & PCs.
While Apple may not be fully liable, I am sure it is against the spirit of the ADA, and definitely not consumer friendly.
There is a small argument for blaming the movie studios for not providing CC content. Apple should be proactive in requesting movies be CC.
What is the reason for pulling existing movies that were CC and replacing them with non-CC versions?

If the CC movies are coming back, how does that work with those of use who purchased non-CC movies? I see 145 movies, not too many of which I want to see.
I love the Harry Potter movies, but I have a harder and harder time understanding them. My deafness is such that not only do I find it difficult to understand what's being spoken if there's a lot of ambient noise, but I also have a lot of difficulty with foreign accents (my being USian). My hearing is bad enough to qualify me for a TTY phone! The sound quality (even if the settings are the same in iTunes) is uneven across the movies, and all I want to do is watch the movie and understand what's being said!
If I can't get the closed captioning with the movies and TV shows on iTunes, I'll just have to purchase or rent from Blockbuster and the like.
It boggles my mind that iTunes has overlooked this issue. I guess you get what you pay for.

Remove Podcast pdfs from iTunes music

I subscribe to a podcast which downloads PDFs in to iTunes.
The PDFs show up in Music and in Podcasts. Obviously PDFs aren't music. I want to keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in podcasts.
iTunes seems to know what are Podcasts and keeps them out of the music library. But it doesn't treat the PDF podcast as a podcast and leaves it in music.
How do I keep the PDFs out of iTunes music and just in Podcasts?
Thanks

Hey Jac151,
I also had the same problem...and heres the only solution I found. Take a look at this website: http://thetechgears.com/how-to-completely-reset-itunes-11-playlist-and-library-a nd-start-fresh/
It will reset your itunes library, and you will have to scan for media files to import all your stuff again (songs & movies). For mobile apps, your need to go to icloud to download them again. Its a huge long process, but it was the only way that would reset the way it viewed my pdfs in iBooks. Good luck!

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

Why are application updates failing to install from application manager

Why are application updates failing to install from application manager?

Usually some update from another app is blocking any subsequent patches. The general cure is to run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, let the application manager reinstall and then let it try to update each application at the same time to prevent those version conflicts...

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
