** Description changed: - In Banshee, when I transfer a podcast to my iPod classic (6th - generation) it won't show up under the main menu's 'Podcasts' button. If - I click on the button nothing happens but the preview-pane on the right - side of the menu does show that there is a certain number of podcasts - available (though this number doesn't seem to match with the actual - amount of podcasts on the device). To find my podcasts I have to - navigate to 'Music > Genres > Podcast'. + In Banshee, when I transfer a podcast to my iPod Nano (3rd generation) + it won't show up under the main menu's 'Podcasts' button.

This bug has been reported in 2007 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/140489) and says to be fixed, but it obviously isn't fixed. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.2 64bit with Banshee 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2. + + *** Update + + I used iTunes on Windows to reset my iPod to its factory settings. I + then uploaded music and podcasts to the iPod but both showed weird + behavior. The Podcasts again don't show up under the Podcast menu in my + iPod, but I also couldn't get them to play via the Music menu (podcasts + stayed at 0:00) while the music did play. Both the music and podcasts + weren't shown though in Banshee so I couldn't delete them. + + Connecting the iPod to another laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 32bit (lets call + this laptop B) and the same version of Banshee (Banshee + 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2) did show the music and podcasts. Adding new + podcasts on laptop B also fixed my original problem of not seeing them + under the Podcasts menu. After this, on laptop A Banshee recognized the + music as normal again though the podcast was now indexed in the Music + playlist instead of the Podcast playlist. Newly uploaded podcasts again + don't show up under the iPod's Podcast menu. + + To recap: Everything works fine on laptop B, though not on laptop A. One + explanation I can think of is that I reset the iPod using iTunes on the + Windows partition of laptop B and maybe the iPod only 'likes' being + altered using laptop B. The idea that my iPod might be picky about its + laptop is fueled by sentences from its manual like "If you’re using iPod + nano with a Mac and you want to use it with a Windows PC, you must + restore the iPod software for use with the PC" and "You cannot switch + from using iPod nano with a Mac to using it with a Windows PC without + erasing all data on iPod nano". I don't know much about Apple stuff + though. As a further test I might do a reset on laptop A to see if my + theory is right.
