I regularly download new podcasts but frequently listen to only the most recent episode of some via a Podcasts playlist I manually maintain. Version 11 made dragging them from the podcasts view no longer possible since it added all the non-downloaded episodes. I have since shifted to dragging them onto my playlist from recently added. In the new version, I cannot delete / remove episodes from the playlist. There are podcasts in the list that are not downloaded and they cannot be removed or moved on the playlist.

Episode 58: Six Learning Strategies You MUST Share with Your Students. I’m imagining that two-card thing where we’re kind of bringing them together in a new. Jun 5, 2018 - On this week's episode of AppStories, we look at what Apple could do to use iOS and its large developer community to revitalize the Mac app.

Why can't I delete the podcast titles I don't want from my playlist? And why does listening to podcasts get substantially harder to do with every version of iTunes? I don't have an iPhone, or any apple device. This is on my Win8 laptop. Looks like there are many others with this issue as well. I saw the suggestion to switch to Unplayed/My Episodes/Saved instead of feed.

This allowed me to delete 9 played podcasts from my playlist but I still have a playlist of 176 podcasts, only 74 of which actually exist on the machine and will ever be listened to. So most the playlist is just undeletable clutter (podcasts I am never going to listen to anymore) I cannot remove from my playlist. This may be a part of the answer: On my system (Mac but it looks very similar to the complaints here) the podcasts in question had somehow gotten saved as Music albums/songs with the genre 'podcast' instead of the the media type 'podcast'. They appeared in the Podcast list as well as the Music list. The solution was to go into Music, find the podcasts in my album list, and delete them there. Afterward, they no longer appeared in my Podcast list.

This also happened with items from iTunes U. Fix crossposted. I don't have an iPhone, or any apple device. This is on my Win8 laptop. Looks like there are many others with this issue as well.

Or it does only sometimes. Here's what indeed is supposed to be available when right-clicking: Obviously I can click 'delete' and it will ask me if I really want to and whether to send to trash, etc etc. However, here's how it works with the next item down: Sorry, I know that these are Mac screenshots, but this is the only place I found the problem described. If nothing else, let them serve as evidence that we aren't just imagining the problem.

This also happened with items from iTunes U. Fix crossposted. Here's my fix. In the upper right corner, click on 'Unplayed' rather than 'Feed.'

'Feed,' apparently, shows you all the episodes that are not currently downloaded on your Playlist. 'Unplayed' shows you what you've not yet marked as Played. Then, if you're in the 'Unplayed' (rather than 'Feed') mode, you can SOMETIMES delete episodes by right clicking them and choosing 'Delete.' On my pc, I haven't found that Ctrl + Delete have any impact. I have no idea why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Earlier on, a line of text appeared towards the top of my Podcast Playlist saying that it would delete episodes that I marked as 'Played.'

I no longer see this text, but if you see it, give it permission to do this. Then, you can right click the episode and mark it as Played and iTunes will put it in a special category marked for deletion. Why it doesn't Delete right away and when it will, I also have no idea. I have to agree playing podcasts on my iPod has become more complicated and un-intuitive with each new version of Apple software.

I hope that Apple staff will read the weird issues that come up because of the apparent lack of concern with simplicity of user-interface. Please, Apple, come down to Earth and make it possible for non-techies to use your software. I had the same issue on my mac and after much fiddling around (as you do), When I changed the drop down menu on the top right hand side ( under the search library field) to 'podcast' instead of 'episode' it then let me delete the podcasts that were left. ( I had marked them as unplayed already ) All the others were deleted when the dropdown menu showed Episode.

( sorry I've just tried to upload an image but its not liking it:-) The playlist itself could only be deleted after going back to 'My podcasts' and then back to 'playlists' Really odd behaviour. Hope it helps. I finally figured out what caused the original issue with duplicate podcasts, though I have.no. idea how to fix it. I just sent the following feedback to Apple. My local machines and iOS devices have been encountering a bug for quite some time where podcasts that I manually sync to my phone are duplicated, with extra folders representing the podcast and everything. I never could figure it out.

Then it stopped doing it for a month or so, and I figured you had fixed it. But the bug came back last night, and I realized what the issue is. For some reason, even though I have the iPhone set to NOT download podcasts (I ONLY want to sync them from my PC), it's still syncing them. When I run the program iVolume to fix the playback volume levels of mp3s, it's modifying the metadata, and iTunes/iOS thinks I now have duplicate podcasts.
