Why Does iTunes 9 Hate My Podcasts?
I have my iPod nano connected to iTunes and use to to auto update with the latest podcasts that I am subscribed to. Now that I am upgraded to iTunes 9.1, very time I select the podcast tab within my ipod iTunes crashes! Every time! And it does not update my podcasts.
Does anyone know what the deal is?
I have seen the tutorials that tell you to do certain things but every one I try just causes itunes to crash.
What is going on?
Update: I still do not know how to fix the problem but I used the tutorial in this post to revert back to iTunes 8 http://bit.ly/1PWeDT
The article is for mac so if you are on a windows computer (like me and the majority of the world) use this link to download the windows version of iTunes 8.2.1 http://bit.ly/qRxP8
Let me know how it goes.
mine does the same thing!!! I have no idea why.

Hello,
very old post but since I had the same issue even with the latest iTunes (10.2.1), it may help. I found a reference somewhere that Perian can cause this issue. I removed it and it seems that the problem is gone. Do you have it installed? can you try and tell me if it fixes the pb?
Thanks!

I have the same problem too… I tried almost everything… Restoring my iPod touch, resetting sync history, etc etc but whenever i click on Podcasts, it crashes… no matter what I do it ends up crashing… and I use iTunes 10.2.2.14.
The same thing used to happen with my iTunes U. But I tried anything and everything possible and somehow fixed it. I dunno what I did. But it got fixed all of a sudden.
And no I don’t have Perian installed in my laptop.

Mr Thomas,
Hello and thank you for all your help^_^
In the end, I kinda took bits of advice from Mr Chen Chen from this page (Apple discussion board)

My Podcasts problem got fixed. What I did was, disconnect from the internet and click on Podcasts. It did freeze for a while… For a few minutes I wasn’t able to do anything on iTunes. I carried on with my other work. And then when I got back Podcasts was working.
But the next day it was the same thing. What I did was: I stopped downloading Podcasts and iTunes U stuff simultaneously. I download them one by one, even though it takes a lot of time. And if Podcasts crashes, I wait or just carry on with my other online work and it starts working ^_^ But I don’t think it really crashed after that…
Now everything works perfectly fine. iTunes U and Podcasts.
