This is something that has happen to me a few times. You go to look for a file (in my case a podcast) only to find that it is missing. Just gone for no real reason because I know that I didn’t delete it. Guess it just got bored and left.
The good thing for me is that its just a podcast and not something that I have payed for like some other people have had happen. But what is the reason because there has to be one. Files just don’t disappear by them self. Does iTunes just pick random crap and say “You don’t need this”. Or is there something really wrong in the program?
In my case it was from the podcast You Look Nice Today Ep. 3a. I know for a fact it was there because I remember clicking on the get button and then syncing it to my iPod and iPhone. As you can see below its still on my iPhone. So whats going on Apple? Is just because I am on a Windows system or does your program and a major flaw?
Anything like this happen to you?

I have the exact same problem - some of the podcast files are downloaded to a temp folder, others disappear. Have you found any solution jet? I’ve tried changing the settings without any success so far. They should be grateful that I’m using their crappy software in the first place!

I haven’t found any solution or any answer for why it happens. I’m just glad its only a podcast thats missing and not something from the iTunes store.

disabling the “auto delete” option in itunes seems to work for me - although no solution for 30+ podcasts…

found your website as I googled “podcast disapearing from itunes”. I’m having the same exact problem even if I select “do not auto delete”. What I did notice is that the file itself is still on my hard drive, but it’s not listed in itunes - strange.
To make it even more frustrating there are podcasts that ARE NOT deleting that I have set to “auto delete”.

I’m having a kind of problem like this one. The only thing is that, every single songs that were in the library of my itunes disappeared, and I didn’t delete and re-installed itunes or anything. I just opened it and everything disappeared.

Having the same problems, my entire library on itunes has gone, and isnt backed up unfortunately. All of my £50 worth of music is gone forever. Seriously narked off… And I am totally not buying it from i-tunes again, what a rediculous notion. On their website it states that when you buy music you only get a single download of it. Yet then it mysteriously disappears from the computer? Strange… How can they expect people to buy music twice?! Surely something will be done about this.
