Podcasts missing & iPod Update

[ToolFan]

Hi.

I'm a recent switcher and have two questions.

1. My podcasts are no longer in the "Podcast" section in my iPod. Although I can see them in iTunes, I have to go through Music -> Genres -> Podcasts in order to listen to them. I can´t see my video podcasts either. Only audio.
2. When iTunes finishes the update, the red circle continues on my iPod´s screen. Is this normal? When I update in Windows, right after the update is completed, my iPod returns to the Menu...

Thanks for any advice you could give me.

I am having the same problem, did you ever find a solution?

Go to the 'podcasts' tab on the ipod screen in itunes (after you've plugged your ipod in).
Choose synch podcasts.

All should be sorted!
