How to Print a List of iTunes Podcasts for My iPhone

One of iTunes little-known features is that you can print a list of songs in a playlist or your entire podcast catalog. However, the functionality is somewhat limited: it will print the entire list, so the only way to control what appears on the list is to delete podcasts from your computer. In order to use this printed list as a cross-reference to the podcasts on your iPhone, you need to adjust some settings on your iPhone and delete older podcasts from your computer.

Instructions

1. Plug your iPhone into your computer.

2. Select your iPhone from the "Devices" list to open the iPhone summary page.

3. Select the "Podcasts" tab.

4. Mark "Sync Podcasts."

5. Mark the "Automatically Include" check box.

6. Select the "All Unplayed" and "All Podcasts" options from the drop-down.

7. Click "Sync" to sync your iPhone.

8. Click the "Eject" button next to your iPhone to safely remove it from your computer.

4. Select "File," "Print" from the main menu to open a Print dialog.

5. Choose a Print option: "CD jewel case insert" lists the podcast name and length. "Song list" prints the name of the podcast and its time and description. "Album list" prints the podcasts according to who recorded them.

6. Click "Print."
