Why can´t I erase a podcast from my ipod?

I downloaded a podcast into iTunes and then into my ipod. Its size is of 20 MB and I want to erase it but when I plug my ipod to my computer it doesn´t appear in iTunes as a podcast or as a song, but in my ipod it appears as a song, so I can´t erase it. What can I do? Please help.

That was stage 1.
I guess a couple of options might be to look at the contents of the iPod using a third party application; or via the command line; or you could simply refresh.
That would take a fair amount of time depending on the size of the iPod and you would need to make sure any music you did not have copies of was backed up.
For some reason I was unable to provide the URLs as the forum software said that was not permitted content/

The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

Why can't I download the songs from my ipod to my compute

I'm getting insanely frustrated right now. I got an ipod about a month ago and was ecstatic. I could finally get the 12 gb of music off my computer (all songs I've taken the time to copy from my own legal cds) and onto my ipod. So I got the new itunes and I copied copied all the files to my library and then from there onto my ipod.
I then made sure they all played on the ipod and once they did I made sure that itunes was set to manually manage songs and then removed them from my library clearing my hard drive of them.
Then my ipod starts having issues, it will just randomly restart for no apparent reason, so I take it in to the apple store and they just want to restore it which will wipe all my music. So I say uhm no, can I please back it up first and they say they don't support that.
What the heck is going on here, why does it make any sense to have to leave the music on teh computer?!? It's a portable music device!
I found there are programs that will copy the files back but they cost money which makes no sense. Basically Apple has hijacked my songs and won't give them back.
I'd email them directly about the issue but I can't find any sign of an email link anywhere on teh webpage.
Any help would be much appreciated and please forgive the rant but I'm really getting sick of my ipod restating constantly.

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod to discourage it's use as a device for mass file sharing. However there is a manual (free) method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
Not all the third party programs are commercial offerings and you can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
If you want to check out the YamiPod utility it is free but you are also free to make a donation to it's developer if you find it useful: YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

Why can't I erase the songs on my ipod on Itunes?

I opened up Itunes and it started loading all the music in my library to my ipod. I stopped it, but now i cannot seem to erase the songs from Itunes. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I was thinking if I let all the songs download onto the ipod i could then delete the songs.

I'm clicking, but there is no tab or anything that
says restore.
On the Summary screen there's "iPod" showing a picture of your iPod, name, software version, serial number and format.. . NEXT there's Version, under which there's the text:
"If you are experiencing problems..." and a restore button. IF you don't see that , then you'll either have to expand the iTunes window or scroll the summary screen.

Why can't I back up music from my ipod to my computer itunes that were burned from CDs? It will only back up songs purchased from itunes.

I can burn the CDs to my itunes on my lap top but it is about 1000 songs. Can I do it by synchronizing? So far I can only get the istore purchsed music to go.

You need a third-party program to do that. Some are discussed here:

Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

Hi,
Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

Ive had my ipad 2 for one week and it cam with ios 4.3.5 I tried downloading virtual bartender on my ipad 2 and it
said it wasnt availble for this device.

Try to reboot the iPad by holding down the on/off button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds till you see the apple logo and let it restart. Then go look again in Updates. See if that helps.

Why can't I sync my playlists from my Ipod Classic program over to my new Ipod touch?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Why can't I down load podcast on my iPod touch or my 2nd gen iPad ?

I've tried different wifi hotspot locations, no luck. Since it is the same machines

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem. Please let me know.

Help! Why can't I erase my hard drive?

I'm trying to erase an 80GB internal hard drive that came with my MacBook. However, the erase button is completely greyed out. I have an external drive connected waiting with Leopard on it and it recognizes that so why can't I erase this thing? I don't think it's damaged because it works perfectly aside from this.

Hi,
I think your problem is that you are booting from the disk you are trying to erase. If you have an external disk with Leopard, go to the startup disk preferences (under System Preferences) and choose to boot from the external disk. After installing from the external disk you should have the option to erase your internal disk.
I'm sure you know that, but I thought it worth mentioning that erasing your disk will cause your system not to be able to boot from this disk (which in many cases is the default option).

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?

Why can I copy music to my iPad or iPod touch from multiple computers but from only one computer using my iPhone?
IPads and iPod Touches don't seem to have the same media copying restriction that my iPhone has. My main computer is at home. I have music at home and at work and sometimes I like to add it to my iPhone from work. I can do this no problem using my iPad or my iPod touch, but when it comes to my iPhone, I can only copy music to it from my main computer.
Why would the iPhone have this restriction but not the other two devices?
ps. Where's my "add currently playing song to playlist" button? I can't even find a third-party music app with this feature.

Because...!
I've no idea why either.
Although it isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers (or manually manage an iPhone from more than one) it can be achieved if all computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

Sorry ?
An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.
