Why is the podcasts folder empty?

I put the most recent Nano software on last week. Since then, my Podcasts folder on my Nano has been empty. They are all still on my iPod but now they're under Music > Genres > Podcasts, which is very irritating. How can I get back to the old, sensible way when they were all listed in the main Podcasts folder?

thanks !!! this helped !!!
anyone know how to load my CD purchased Audio book up as an Audio Book? chapter ten is right after one and it is ALL in the Music Folder????

Itunes crashes when I try to access the podcast folder

I keep having a problem with accessing the podcast folder for my iPod Touch. I can access all of the other folders with no problem. As soon as I click on the podcast folder, a pop-up window appears telling that "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I do click the "send error report" but this is maddening. It shuts down iTunes altogether. Any ideas? Thanks!

That one often seems to be due to an issue with a damaged podcast. Tracking down which podcast (or podcasts) is causing the grief can be a bit of a trial though. Jim's technique from the following post looks about the best way of doing it that I've seen:

Do you mean you no longer see the option for Podcasts in the menu of the iPod?
If so, go to Settings > Main Menu, scroll to Podcasts and press the center button to turn it back on.

Why is the documents folder "grayed" out in past time machine screens?

Just select the Image trace panel from the window menu and then customize it.

Why do the podcast controls shift behind upper bar?

Why do the podcast controls shift towards the upper bar when you close the app, double click the home button, swipe to get to the controls, press play, listen to the "video podcast" for a few min (like you would if you wanted to listen to the podcast for a while instead of watching) and then return to the video? The video controls are shifted.

I've often experienced this sort of behaviour in CS3 on WinXP. It happens when I've been working on the same file for a long time, and it seems to indicate that I'm running out of memory (particularly VM?). Minimize/maximize gives temporary respite, Save As a bit longer, but eventually I have to close down ID and restart. I usually reboot at the same time just to make sure. Then I'm good to go for another few hours.

I Was wodnering of you ever had ths issue resolved. My wife's iPad 2 is havieng a similiar issue. The iPad receives only some emails -- they appear to be from people in her contacts-- but not emials from "strange" soucrces. No junk mail rules are set. And oddly enough it is a new iCloud email address.
What happened to your issue?

Why is the Podcasts app deleting podcasts? I want to keep them?

iOS7
4Gs (still kickin')
Latest version of Podcasts app from Apple
For some reason the Podcasts app is deleting episodes from my phone. I have no idea why.
For all of my podcast subscriptions I have "Episodes to Keep" set to "All", because I want to delete them when I am done with them.
I'll be driving to work, start listening to a downloaded episode, pause it for the drive home, and when the time comes, it's gone!
Why?
I'll re-download the episode and it usually picks up where I left off, but it is a total pain. I haven't even synced with iTunes since my computer is at home.
Dear Apple, is this a bug or a feature?
Dear support community...please help me!

Jennifer,
Check to make sure that the Deleting Apps restriction has not been enabled To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
If that is the case, remove the restriction, then delete the App. Lastly, make sure the App is not set up to sync to the iPod via the iPod's Application tab in iTunes.

Moving a podcast out of the podcast folder

I've got a couple of podcasts that I'd like to move into my general music folder. Can anyone tell me of a way to do so?
Thanks,

If the shared folder is on another physical drive, dragging it will copy by default (and you'll see the green plus symbol as you darg it). If you hold down the command key as you drag, it will move the file.

Why is the podcast section slow?

I know this is probably not a new thread, but I'm getting sick and tired of continued releases of iTunes 11 being released for Windows and nothing being done to actually fix the Podcast section of the program. Whether it's related to the podcast art or not, I'm not sure, but regardless, loading the section and each subsequent click takes between 3 and 10 seconds each time. Add to that the lack of alphabetised listing, fewer settings for podcasts in general, and I wish I didn't have to be so reliant upon iTunes for my podcasting needs.
Come on Apple, please provide a fix soon?

Podcasts are not "stored" in the iTunes Store, so - and I'm guessing here...
when a song is purchased in the iTunes Store, that download comes from the store itself and it's reasonable to assume that the list of songs is held by Apple in the store. The store will have an up-to-date list of the songs available, ready to give you at any time.
but since Podcasts are downloaded directly to your iTunes Library from the Podcast producer's host site (and not from the store), it's reasonable to assume that the iTunes Store obtains a list of the Podcast episodes only when you ask for it. That's how it's kept up-to-date. So the store has to "look outside" the store (to another computer, located who-knows-where) at the time you ask for the list of contents. That takes time, albeit a very short time.
So this almost certainly why it takes iTunes a while to display the list of Podcasts when you are searching in-store.
As for the artwork for Podcasts; again, this is the responsiblity of the Podcaster, not the iTunes Store. Artwork for commercially produced music albums is an established and accepted fact. The musicians and companies that produce the music are well versed in it. But Podcasts are completely controlled by the originator of the Podcast and are simply listed by the Store. Podcasts are often produced by individuals, or simply by people who either don't see the need for artwork, or don't have the resources to work out how to put the artwork on to their episodes. It's not that easy, believe it or not.
Apple/the iTunes Store does not "trade" the Podcasts (it doesn't "sell" them), and the store has almost no control over them.
Look on the bright side: Apple (The iTunes Store) provides you with a list of Podcasts and gives you a facility to download them into your iTunes Library and onto your iPod etc, for absolutely no cost to you. iTunes, the programme also does a fair bit of work to manage Podcasts, such as:
marking them as Skip when shuffling so thay don't play while listening to music in shuffle mode (a podcast is simply another audio file, just like your music Library);
organising them in your iTunes Library (well, in the List view, they are orgainsed. No idea what Apple had in mind with the other views!);
marks a Podcast episode as Remember playback position - incredibly useful for long speech Podcasts;
has a visual indicator to remind you when you have part-listened to a Podcast episode or fully heard it. This feature is also available on some iPods.
And before anyone says it, no, I do not think iTunes is perfect, particularly in Podcasts.
Downloaded episodes and other available (but not yet downloaded) episodes are now indistinguishable from one another. Mad!
Total unplayed episodes count now includes episodes that are not downloaded into my Library. Utter madness!
My Stations. I just don't get it!
The Podcasts App for iDevices. Well, I think my thoughts on that are best left unsaid. (The last time I looked, it still wasn't possible to create a Playlist of Podcast episodes.)

Why is the Podcasts App so buggy???

I listen to podcasts almost everyday and have been using this app ever since it was first released.
It's basically a dog's breakfast. The main problems are (1) bugs, and (2) lack of functionality.
Bugs:
1. The app will start automatically anytime an alarm goes of: someone calls you, after you hang up the last podcast you were listening to starts playing. Same thing with alarms, and even just testing ring tones. ***?
2. It frequently won't download podcasts. It is very temperamental: it will allow some podcasts to download, others not.
3. It crashes randomly in the middle of podcasts. This is what motivated me to write this review today. actually this and the fact that problem 2 took me about 2 days and 5 attempts to download the podcast that then crashed. Was this software written by children?
Lack of basic functionality:
1. No playlists or anyway to star or prioritize podcasts you want to listen to.
2. It is basically impossible to browse the titles of individual podcasts because the names are longer than the screen space.
Points 1 + 2 together are a real pain if you, like me, have a collection of one set of podcasts that is over 500 episodes you want to read over and choose from... You can't read the titles and if you take the time to read and select your favorites you can't save them.
Seriously, this app should be up there with Apple disasters like Apple Maps.

I just replaced my prior iPhone 3G by a brand new iPhone 5 and installed this new Podcast app, as podcast content dif not appear in "music" any more.
Although I enjoy having direct sync of podcasts on the iPhone over Wifi (instead of having to plug it to my iTunes), I am not fully satisfied as well:
- for some podcasts, it seems to be working fine, event though some episodes appear much later on my iPhone as on iTunes
- for some others, it used to work fine at the start, but I do not get any of the most recent episodes anymore (they do not appear at all)
- for some others, downloading seems to always fail but streaming is OK
- for some others, I can see the episodes but cannot donwload nor stream them on my iPhone.
In the meantime, all these podcasts perfectly work on a standard iTunes (on a Mac or a PC).
I tried to unscribe an subscribe again but it didi not fix anything. Perhaps shall I try to uninstall and reinstall the application.
The erratic sync feature is definitly the most critical issue to fix by Apple.
Not supporting long labels & playlists is more a kind of "nice to have", although I agree these would be very useful.
Concern iMap, I did not have any major concern up to now with it (I do not use it so often, but it worked well at each occasion).

Why is the podcast capture app missing from Mountain Lion?

According to this link http://support.apple.com/kb/SP654 the podcast capture/publisher apps are included in OS X Mountain Lion but they are in fact NOT there!

So I just got off the phone with apple and according to the Advisor I spoke with the website is incorrect. Or as they said a typo. Publisher and Capture are not in Mountain Lion and were never meant to be in Mountain Lion. They also said that they were in the process of fixing the website. Funny thing is I bet it does not change. He did give me an app recomendation to use out of the mac store. He said "Podcast Assistant". I am going to download it and check it out.He claimed it was free. If anyone else knows of a good one please let us know. This does suck because I found the apple software easy to use.

Why is the podcast app asking me to stream an already downloaded app?

Hi,
I have a selection of downloaded podcasts which I subscribe to on the Podcast app on iOS running on an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.13. I have listened to the majority of the podcasts without any problems, but on the last few it is asking me to turn on mobile data to stream the podcasts even though they have already been downloaded.
I have deleted them and downloaded them again, but the same problem occurs. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks

They appear to be corrupt. Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

I don't speak German, why is the Podcast page in Deutsch????

I am using ITunes 7.0.1. When selecting Podcasts in iTunes, I am sent directly to a German language page and can see no way to switch to English.
Thanks for any help!!
Chris

Christina M.,
Since you don't have an account to sign in to, clicking on the iTunes Store link in the left hand column should show you a general iTunes Store start page.
Towards the bottom of the screen there will be a Pull down menu that probably says, "Deutchsland". Should be labeled, "Mein Store", if in the Germany store. A few others stores with Germanic languages may look like German, but have the pull down labeled differently. Click on that pull down ad choose "United States".
This pull down is the very bottom option on all of the iTunes Store Home pages within iTunes.
You should then be able to access the Podcast directory in English, or create an account for the U.S. store.
Thank you,
Nathan C.
