Certain Podcasts No Synching

[Dan1001]

I gave a 30GB Ipod Photo. I have a PC. I listen to a lot of podcasts, which I subscribe to and download daily. For the last few days, even though the podcasts are on my computer, some of them do not synch to my ipod. I have selected to synch all podcasts, and I have also tried to do it on a podcast by podcast basis. For at least two podcasts, one episode synchs, but the other does not.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Is the podcast actually complete? Is the episode greyed out? iTunes has a problem where if your internet connection drops out in the middle of a download it doesn't notice and, depending on the exact point this happens, may either mark a podcast as successfully downloaded (even though it will abruptly cut off 3/4th of the way through) or, worse, mark it as successfully downloaded even though it's corrupt and won't sync or play at all (the stupid part is that iTunes knows the podcast is corrupt as it greys it out but still won't just re-download it).

If this describes your situation, the solution is to delete the problematic episodes. Unsubscribe from the podcast, then re-subscribe and re-download the problematic episode(s).

Another possibility is sometimes video podcasts come through a feed that are not iPod compliant.
