iTunes lists every episode of a podcast. Can't delete cloud listing.

here's the latest "view" dropdown menu

i have a PC with windows XP

Looks like you are on a Windows machine? If so, then look around at all of the menus to see if you can find the option to Hide Music in the Cloud. I can't imagine that they would release a version of iTunes for Windows that showed your Music in the Cloud in your library, but wouldn't let you change that view....

Post back if you find it anywhere....

OK, see if you have this option:

Go to iTunes>Preferences, and once they are open, click on the Store tab:

Do you see that option under Store? Maybe uncheck it? If it is already unchecked, then maybe check it and then see if the View Music option now shows in your View dropdown....

Post back!

yes, that option is in the store but unchecking it does nothing. i've been looking through this forum and there are quite a few people that are having this same problem. thanks for trying to help gail!!! 🙂

It needs to be checked in order to see the option to Hide or Show Music in the Cloud on the View dropdown. I just tested that on my Mac, and when I unchecked it, the option as shown in my post above goes away. Checked, it comes back.

Not sure why it's not working as it should but here is what I would recommend:

1. Try checking the option in preferences, and see if the Hide/Show option displays in the View Dropdown. If it does, try checking and unchecking it in the dropdown to see if anything changes (you will be able to see it immediately if it does).

2. Reboot your PC. Last night (when everything was at a virtual standstill on the Apple servers because the entire world was doing stuff on them all at the same time....), I looked at my iTunes library and saw that the cloud items were showing. So, I clicked on Hide Music in the Cloud, and they disappeared. So, I wanted them back, and clicked Show Music in the Cloud, and they didn't come back 😟 I thought I would wait until this morning to see if they had come back yet, knowing that the Cloud server was probably as slammed as the rest of them....this morning they were back!!! 🙂

So, the issues you may be having may just be a hang up with the Cloud, and a reboot may clear that up. (You could also just try signing out and back into iTunes before rebooting to see if that has any effect).

We are all kind of groping around at this point trying to get the specifics down for the new iTunes and how it works for both Windows and Mac. So, any help you can provide by trying any of the suggestions above would be most helpful (if any of them work...fingers crossed!)

Thanks and cheers,

GB

What they need is a Hide Podcast In the Cloud option or just go back to being able to delete unwanted shows.

yes! there definitely is a "hide music in the cloud" option for music but nothing like that for podcasts. it's just a big design flaw and hopefully will be addressed soon

Having the same problem.

The "Hide XXXX in the Cloud" option only appears for Music, Movies, and TV Shows. I can't say if it was there for Podcasts before 11.1.0.126 or not...but I do know the option to delete an episode, by either the delete key or the right-click delete, was available pre 11.1.0.126.

Just to reiterate, it's only the undownloaded podcasts in the Cloud that can't be deleted from the list view.

I am having the same issue as everyone else. This is a huge oversight by Apple to not include the option for podcasts. I am on updated Lion running iTunes 11.1.

Same here. I think the lack of a "hide music in the cloud" option in the dropdown appears to be a Windows issue, but it this has rendered the whole podcast feed system pretty much unuseable for me. 😟

If you click the My Podcasts button it shows the podcasts that have not been deleted opposed to showing the podcasts under the list button. Under My Podcasts it does not show any podcast with a cloud next to them.

It’s not perfect but until Apple sort this out this is a good work around for the problem.

After using the My Podcasts button for a time I am finding that this is better way to use the podcast section in iTunes. You can hide old episodes as well as showing them. Also when you delete the podcast it disappears from the list.
