can't delete podcasts in iTunes 11.1

Ridiculous.

I'm having the same problem and I can't send feedback to Apple; no matter how many times I try, it says the server dropped the connection. My internet is fine. If anyone figures this out, please let the rest of us know. Can't get a Genius Bar appointment unitl Saturday.

Thanks!

Wow this is terrible. I was shocked and annoyed when this came up. I guess they want us to use My Podcasts, but that view blows. Trying to navigate 1000's of listened to podcasts is terrible. It makes List View worthless.

For those that know, I submitted a bug report: rdar://15026519

Thanks for starting this thread. I just noticed some wierd behavior with iTunes and podcasts and the posts here describe exactly what I'm seeing.

Sorry, duplicate message.

*** Apple? This feels like rushed out software and you guys have effed up big time! This is ludicrous!

Server dropping the connection is probably from the volume of people complaining about the iTunes 11.1.0.

Try later tonight.

So I went in and rated all the podcasts I already have w/ 1 star. Hopefully when I refresh in a couple days the new ones won't have stars and I'll know to grab those.

Same here, my carefully culivated podcasts are all deleted.

I am now using "My Podcasts" to view unwatched podcasts now.

At least it only shows unwatched episodes.

Best workaround I can think of at the moment

Along with this problem, i'm also having a problem with artwork not showing up in the "My Podcasts" list. The actual podcast has artwork but it's not showing up in the side bar so it's freezing/sluggish. Anyone else experiencing this?

Apple seems to have no more love to the podcast. The Podcast app is really not at the level I used to know for an Apple Product and now I iTunes 11.1 list all the old podcast I listened years ago and I can't delete them.

This is ridiculous. Can show more love to the podcast and fix this problem please?

This is ridiculous apple!

They really seem to hate podcast, first the horrible app and now this, same here...

Same here.. I cannot delete any old podcasts on iTuness 11.1. And it's showing all the old podcasts I listened to.. no way to delete them.. we need a fix!

This has been a massive fail day for Apple. New iTunes is a big step backward with a horrible bug for podcast users, the new iOS7 is a fail -- sterile, flat, boring -- and nothing exciting in the new iPhone release last week.

I've been an Apple guy since our family had an Apple IIe when I was a kid, but their software updates are always full of bugs and half-baked and they haven't done anything exciting on the product side in a couple of years. I think it's time to find something new. Their product/software updates have done nothing more than aggravate and disappoint recently.
