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

Since downloading iTunes 11.1.0.126, when I display my podcasts in a LIST, it displays every episode from that podcast I'm subscribed to. With the option to redownload it.


This is terrible, because most podcasts have hundreds of old episodes. The majority of which I'd like to clear of my screen and never listen again.


But now I can't simply hit DELETE on my keyboard.


Help. Thanks.

Hi Gil,


No he is just a regular tabby...and very curious and friendly! If a plumber is here working under a cabinet, he's right there trying to get in and help him....(or her) 😁.


You are absolutely correct, the instructions I provided do only work for Music...(my bad). I did see that one poster indicated that if she used the My Podcasts tab, it did not have the iTunes in the cloud items listed there. A lot of people are unhappy about not being able to Show or Hide iTunes in the Cloud items on the other tabs, so fingers crossed there will be a solution forthcoming!


Cheers,


GB

AIn't gonna happen. Apple wants you to use their idiotic Podcasts app. My iPod Touch is busted, so am forced to use my Galaxy S2 to listen to podcasts - and I may decide I'm not interested in shelling out a few hundred for a new iPod Touch, even though it means losing my iOS games. Apple has tinkered with podcasts too much, and I've had enough. Seriously.

Just like jbromusic, I also don't have the option to select "Hide Music in the Cloud". For, immediately after "Show Duplicate Items" is a grayed out line and then "Video Playback". Even the look of your menu looks different from mine. I am using iTunes 11.1.0.126 downloaded on a PC laptop using Widows 7. Are you using iTunes, perhaps downloaded on an Apple product?


Anyway, I certainly hope that this change is made quickly because now my podcast downloads look like a mess...information overload. Also, I don't need to re-listen to news related podcasts that I listened to and deleted 3+ years ago! So much for giving the users some control over what they do/don't see.

Apple doesn't care. They want you to use their craptastic Podcasts app. If you don't have it, iTunes keeps shoving your Podcast tab in Music to "Other", replacing it with Compilations. You can't download episodes from the device either. It TELLS you to use the Podcast app if you don't have it.


Don't you get it? Apple doesn't want you to use iTunes with podcasts. They don't. Period. They want you to use the stupid app.

JonahFalcon, I believe you are right... I listen to podcasts only on my iMac and iPod Classic. Neither of them have that app. I refused to use my iphone as an entertainment center. I use it for calls and the web and that is it. I like having phone that is still charged by the end of the day. And until they make an iPod touch with 160gb HD I am sticking to the ipod classic.
