Yup.
I have the same problem. Just downloaded 11.1 and it added podcasts that are three years old to my iTunes and I can't delete them. Clearly 11.1 has a problem.
Ironically 11.1 deleted all of my old podcasts save for two.
Once downloaded you can delete them. But I have THOUSANDS in my podcast folders. What a lame amateur bug. Where's Steve Jobs when you need him?
UPDATE: You can delete the file, but the podcast title remains. Why does Apple need to change simply for changes sake?
For the downloaded podcasts "delete" shows up - not grayed out - and selecting it brings up the dialogue boxes to confirm the delete, but the podcast is still there. And playable.
For the podcasts not downloaded to n iPod delete doesn't show up or is grayed out on the top level menu.
Doesn't anybody test software changes anymore?
Same here.....what a stupid bug....or if it's intentional......what a stupid idea......
Exactly the same problem here. Just noticed that I've been downloading Gigabytes of old podcasts that I played years ago!
Also has anyone noticed that the shuffle button seems to be reversed. It has to be on (glowing blue) to only play a single podcast and then stop.
In my case the problem was solved in the update by going to iTunes preferences and under the 'store' tab unchecking 'synch podcasts across devices'. I suspect it remembers old settings and syncs them?
I did this. Nothing changed. So I picked an old podcast, downloaded it to iTunes, deleted its file. So then the podcast showed the ! error - it couldn't find the file. I was then able for the first time to see "delete" in the context menu. Deleted it. And immediately the **** podcast came right back with its icloud please download me icon showing. One day last week was pirate day but I'm still saying ARRRRGGGGHHH in a bad way.
Same here this makes me so sad!! My podcast addiction and OCD just became enemies. Apple please fix it!!
"I" tried that. It didn't work.
Same problem here,
Folks: the Support Communities are here to crowdsource solutions, but in this case it's clear that there is nothing individual users can do: there are several other threads on this, and the best that anyone has come up with is to delete iTunes 11.1 and replace it with a TimeMachine copy of an older release. Apple has to fix this bug. Please help push Apple along on this via the "Provide iTunes Feedback" option in your copy of iTunes (dropdown from the iTunes menu, found just under the "Preferences" option).
iTunes 11.1.1 released. This fixed it.
I'm on version 11.4....
While unwanted podcasts can not be removed from the listing, if you choose the "feed" view (bottom right of the screen), then all the deleted and non-deleted entries are there.
If you choose the "saved" episodes, then only the ones saved
Regardless, the delete function should do just that - delete the contentment and the library entry.
Does anyone have access to Apple to find out why this is happeneing?
