iTunes not Responding After My Feed Download

[blossomj229275]

I joined Japanesepod101 in late June and I'm a Premium member. I started to download the My Feed Podcasts on iTunes in July. Ever since then I was not able to open up my iTunes AT ALL. I can't even sync my iPhone. It says it's still downloading but I didn't download all the podcasts! This is very frustrating since I can not open my iTunes! It says that it is not responding. Please help! Is there a way I can fix this without removing or deleting any iTunes information? Do I need to contact Apple? Please respond as soon as possible!! Thank You!

It sounds like iTunes has corrupted its Library file, which is something it does with monotonous and tedious regularity. The steps you need to take to recover it are on Apple's support website in an article called How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists.

Thank You! It worked. Now one last question...Is there a way to delete the My Feed Podcasts? I don't want all of them. Thank You!

Is there a way to delete the My Feed Podcasts?

You should be able to highlight a podcast or a set of podcasts and then just press the <Delete> key.

But I have to add that in my experience, deleting a large number of podcasts is a very reliable way of making iTunes corrupt its Library. I'd recommend taking a backup before you start!

How do I back it up?

[mmmason8967]

There's a good article on Apple's support website called Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive. If your Library is made entirely of podcasts, the first step (consolidation) will be very quick as I think all the files will already be in the right place.
