Won't sync podcasts?

Since the update, I had to put in all of my non-purchased music again, which was fine. After syncing after the update, I still kept my podcasts. Today, I got some new podcasts, and they won't sync. I haven't gotten any new episodes in the older podcasts either. How do I get rid of the older podcasts and just keep the new ones and let those sync like they should? There's no error message or blocking, it just doesn't sync the Podcasts and iTunes U.

The old podcasts tay - but never update.
I'm trying to get the new ones in, but I tried many times - they don't!

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.
Have you tried the 5 R's?

ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
What's going on? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
Hope this helps.

Itunes 10.6.3 won't sync podcasts

i downloaded itunes version 10.6.3.25 on monday, 9/10/12, to my computer (running windows xp with current service pack) and now my podcasts won't sync. anybody have any ideas for a cure? i've deleted and reinstalled itunes several times, rebooted, yelled at the computer, etc.

thank you for your persistence and no digs assumed.
Is this all Podcasts or only certain ones? (Example title please. I'll try it) all podcasts with current subscriptions (e.g. bbc world service; the rachael maddow show; washington week; wait, wait...don't tell me [from NPR])
Are you downloading these problem Podcasts by using the Get (episode) button in iTunes or are you subscribed to the Podcast series in iTunes? subscriptions...using the refresh button
Is it certain episodes or all episodes of a Podcast series? i'm attempting to get the episodes i've not yet downloaded
Have you previously tried to download that particular episode? i've attempted both the 'refresh' function and the 'update podcast' option availabie on right-click from the particular broadcast.
What exactly happens when you attempt to download an episode? When you press the Get button (or describe what you do), does the episode begin to download, or at least show momentarily, in the Download pane? whirling arrows appear next to some podcasts. dotted circles appear next to others. no episodes appear and the arrows will spin for hours if i let them. i can't send a screen shot since the format isn't supported by this forum
i know that the mp3 files aren't really podcasts. i've dragged them into the music file for my ipod so that at least i can listen to them while i'm working. desperate times call for desperate measures.
when i click itunes help, the pop-up screen is blank. when i attempt to update the version (knowing that i have the current itunes version but testing nevertheless) i receive an error message saying that the itunes server cannot be found. i've deleted itunes from my downloads, cleared my discard bin, and re-installed itunes. wash, rinse, repeat - the outcomes remain the same.
as an aside, i've attempted to unsubscribe to bbc and then re-subscribe. now i can't re-subscribe. groan. itunes threatens another update on the 17th. perhaps that will help. it couldn't possibly make things worse.

Won't sync podcasts in Vista, but will sync music

Vista x64 build 5744. Itunes 7.0.1
Everytime I sync the ipod and go into the podcast section of the ipod via itunes and set it to sync podcasts and hit apply I get the following error:
The ipod "archer75's iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50).
Any ideas on how to fix this? I mainly use my ipod for listening to podcasts.

Thank you for your response. Yes, it very well could've been iTunes 9.
Okay, I got the first part of your workaround. I unchecked the "Automatically include" checkbox in the Podcasts tab.
However I don't see where "Include Episodes from Playlists" option is. I've checked my playlist I want to sync in the Music tab under Playlists, but I obviously need to do something else because it's still not syncing. Where do I find that?

IPad won't sync podcasts marked 'explicit'

I've had tons of trouble syncing podcasts to my iPad2. I thnave 21 appearing in iTunes, and on the iPad as it's listed in iTunes. But on the actual iPad there are only 5 showing. Is it a coincidence that these are the only 5 that are not marked 'explicit?' Is there a setting I can change that will allow the podcasts to sync to my iPad?
I've created both a regular and a smart playlist, plus just allowed the podcasts to sync as normal. It's always seemed pretty random which ones actually show up on the iPad or not. But today I noticed the 'explicit' thing.
Please help! This is driving me crazy not being able to listen to all my podcasts.

in iTunes or on the iPad? (will be doing both, as I'm sitting here but thought I'd check...)
YOU FIXED IT! Thank you...I didn't realize I had a restriction set on the iPad. All podcasts are showing now.

Won't sync podcasts on itunes to my iphone!

Since the iOS 7 ver .03 update I've had issues with the pdocast app. i tunes on my macbook pro won't sync to my iphone 5.

Hi HB3207!
I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to resolve this issue. First, I would try re-creating your iTunes library following the instructions listed here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
You may also need to simply try restarting your phone and attempting to sync again after a restart. Information on completing this can be found here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

ICloud won't sync podcasts?

My Podcasts don't seem to sync through icloud. When I look under the setting on my iphone it only lists Music, Apps and Books. Am I not able to do this for podcasts? Or is podcasts somehow categorized under music and I am missing another setting to sync those. Thanks for all the help!

The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Movies, podcasts, and audio books
Photos that were originally synced from your computer

My iPhone 4 won't sync podcasts manually.

Ever since I got iTunes 10 I have been having problems with podcasts.
My iPhone 4 will not allow podcasts to be manually added. It will only allow podcasts to be synced by playlists. This is a pain because podcasts constantly get new episodes and I shouldn't have to create a specific playlist EVERYDAY. By the way the "manaully add songs and videos" button is CHECKED and has always been checked. The only time I'm able to manually add podcasts is when the iphone syncs the podcast playlist. And sometimes this doesn't work.
Please help.

Thanks for the Downcast tip Stephen. I had exactly the same problem as others and after reading your post decided to ditch iTunes to manage my iPhone podcasts. I really dont know why they decided that podcasts I had d/l direct to the phone need to go up to the computer with no preference to stop it. Thats crazy since I dont sit at home and listent to podcasts.
Long ago it was easy to sync stuff by dragging manually whatever you wanted onto the phone or iPod but Apple has now made this impossible. Sync is a major aggravation now. 6 years ago I had a Windows 6 mobile phone (horrible in most respects) but syncing of address book, music, podcasts, calendar was automatic by bluetooth and involved no efffort at all once set up. I am still waiting for Apple to wake up!

5G won't sync podcasts into podcast folder

Just got a new computer with Vista. Downloaded itunes onto it and re-subscribed to all my favorite podcasts. When I synced with my ipod all the content (i.e. audiobooks, tv shows, music, podcasts, etc.) went into the songs folder. This makes it nearly impossible to locate individual items. On itunes they are displayed in the proper folders.
How do I get them to show up properly on my ipod?
Thanks,
Bill

Any suggestions?!?!?!? Please I need help!!!!

My Ipod Nano (3dGen) has stopped syncing podcasts but st

My 3d Gen Ipod Nano won't sync Podcasts from I tunes library.

I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

Podcasts won't sync - error "no longer exist"

i connected my ipod to sync to itunes. for some unknown reason, itunes was blanked out and when it synced, it wiped everything off my ipod. i reuploaded everything from my hard drive and subscribed to/downloaded podcasts. however, now when itunes syncs with my ipod, i get a message that the podcasts no longer exist so it won't sync. help! i miss my podcasts!!!

It has nothing to do with being authorised, that doesn't affect Podcasts. Plus, you already have them on your computer.
Did you have to change the settings for the Sync Podcasts? If you did, then you may need to perform another Sync to make sure the "change" has been implemented.
If not, then:
Have you previously managed to Sync Podcasts with this iPod?
Are they Podcasts, downloaded as Podcasts through iTunes?
Are they iTunes U programmes?
Are they video Podcasts?
Do you see any error messages when you Sync the iPod with iTunes?
Where, on your iPod, are you looking for the Podcasts?

IPod Touch 4G won't sync new apps on 2nd authorized computer, but WILL sync music, podcasts, etc.

Hello.
Everywhere I've read about apps not syncing to the iPod touch while using iTunes on a second authorized computer have mentioned that they could sync nothing to the device. Yet I have a different problem, one where I have no problem syncing new music, podcasts, pictures, etc., and only new apps refuse to sync to the device.
I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 4G. My computer being away for repairs at the time that I bought it, I synced only podcasts, apps, pictures, and video to the device using a friend's computer under a different Apple ID. When I first synced it, I authorized that computer with the device, and it mentioned you could sync the device with up to 5 computers, so I figured I would have no problem when I got my own computer back.
Having now received my computer back, I connected my new iPod touch to my own iTunes under my Apple ID and authorized my computer as the second authorized computer. These are the only two computers I have ever synced the device with.
I copied my music library, more pictures, and more podcasts to the device with no problems, and they play/show on the device no problem. Also, I can still access and use all the content previously on my iPod.
I have downloaded a few new free apps that I wanted to sync to my iPod using my computer, but when I go to sync them to my iPod, they won't sync to the device. I have downloaded all the apps I had originally put on my iPod using my friends computer so that I would receive updates for the apps automatically. I have not tried to sync these, though I have (or iTunes at least is telling me I have) synced any updates that have since come up for the apps already on my iPod.
I have tried clicking and dragging the new apps from the apps tab over to the device tab, and iTunes shows them syncing, and to the best of my knowledge, shows that it has finished syncing them. It also shows that it has completely synced all the new apps when I try syncing on the apps tab under the device tab (the one that shows up when you click on the tab for your iPod, and is next to Summary, Pictures, Video, etc.). I have all the boxes checked off, and the boxes next to all the apps are checked off as if they're on my iPod, but they don't show up on the screen display next to it. When I click and drag the new apps over so they appear and click "apply," iTunes shows that it has completed the syncing process, but the apps won't show up on my iPod, and disappear from the sceen display on the device apps tab the next time I sync my iPod.
I have the latest version of iTunes, and have downloaded all updates for it. My iPod's less than a month old, so I don't think there's any updates for the iPod itself.
I also currently don't have the ability to sync over wi-fi, or have wi-fi access on my iPod at home, though I could set it up if it would fix the problem. Right now, I'm only syncing my iPod using usb and iTunes.
I would prefer, if possible, not to have to restore the iPod to factory settings, and begin anew. However, if this is necessary, any help on how to restore the iPod and back it up would be much appreciated.
Any help you can give is awesome.
Thank you for your time.

Hey, I'm probably too late and you may have already solved it but here's a solution. In iTunes go to Edit then preferences and then click on reset dialog warnings. What happens is when you first sync your ipod, you receive a message saying something like transfer?and you've probably selected "Do not show this message again". I don't really know why but iTunes assumes that the apps on your iPod are already on your computer and therefore need no transferring.
After you've reset it, the same message should pop up about transferring. As long as you don't click don't show, you should be good to go.

5th Gen ipod won't sync a video podcast

I have a 80GB iPod, only a month and a half old, 5th Gen.
Thing is, I downloaded 5 video podcasts today, all from the same author.
One of these podcasts WILL sync onto my iPod, however the other four won't, saying that the video format isn't supported, when all five videos have the same format and type.
I have tried everything from renaming them to converting them and still nothing works.
Can anyone please help? :]

I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.
