ITunes – iTunes U podcasts insist on appearing in music library

Easy solution here.  Make sure according to thefiend “When your iPod is connected to iTunes, select your iPod (under devices) then click on the iTunes U pane. I think this pane has only been available since the new 9 version of iTunes. On mine, the Sync iTunes U was not ticked. It needs to be ticked, and then you need to click on Apply which will perform another Sync.”
