[iTunes] iTunes: podcasts problem

[Ken Stevens]

Hi Becca:

The podcasts with exclamation points are probably podcasts that have  
been downloaded
but iTunes doesn't know where to look.  Here are two different  
solutions:

1. Under the advanced tab in your menu bar there is a "Consolidate  
Library" item.
If you choose this option iTunes will search your hard drive and copy  
all iTunes compatible
files to your Music Folder.  Now you should go back and delete these  
items from other
folders where they exist or you will have duplicates, one in the music  
folder and one where-
ever iTunes found it.

2.  If you don't have too many, simply click on the exclamation point  
and iTunes will ask you
if you want to find the file.  Click "yes" and navigate to the proper  
file.  When you find it, select
it and click "open" and it will be added to your library.
