A third party app keeps showing in my podcast app even after restoring as a new phone.  Why?

A third party app that I've used for a long time through iTunes to download a specific podcast not available through the iTunes store has gotten a bit messed up.  I've used this for 3+ years with no problem. Lately though the name of the podcast will show up as an empty folder even though I've downloaded and synced it up.  The episodes may stay for about 24 hours but then the app disappears from inside of iTunes and all the episodes are deleted.  I've removed the app, reinstalled it, etc., and the same thing happens.  I restored the phone from a back up, same problem.   I even set the phone up as new and this same empty folder was on the iPhone immediately.  That I don't understand...how is that even possible?
I'm not sure why wiping the phone and setting up as new made the folder appear.  Not sure what role, if any, iCloud plays in seeing this sort of app?
Thanks.

I solved this through a combo of reinstalling the app and removing it but the real kicker is to make sure to go into the iPhone if you have any phantom podcasts and go to settings/general/usage/manage storage and see what is there for podcasts.  Delete it from this location to start over.  I found this file was larger than justified compared to what was in the podcast folder.  Somehow this had gotten corrupted.
I'm sharing in case others need a solution.  Of course, the one respondent on here already knew this info so this is for all the other folks out there.

  • Help! With new update apps keep starting on it's own - even after closed

    Help!
    My battery cannot last the day now. Even with Advanced Task Killer, my applications are starting to open all day long every 5 minutes on their own.  They never did this before the update.  This includes apps like Facebook, Words with Friends, Maps, and whatever the new Media Hub.
    Also this new Media Hub won't let me in to try to turn off any settings because it wants me to update. What is it? Can I get rid of it?

    Ditch ATK and you should be fine.  Those apps aren't doing anything for the most part unless you have them syncing which can be adjusted in the app specific settings.  You'll just kill your battery like you're doing now if you try to keep them closed.
      I agree with PJNC284, and get rid of the task killer. I found that it was somewhat useless because like he said, they will just start back up, and that takes resources and power to do. The biggest thing is the apps that sync, you need to make sure they are adjusted to suit your needs. Fast / more often the sync results in less battery life.

  • Why does my T-Bird keep showing read messages as 'unread' even after recatagorizing them repeatedly?

    Running T-Bird 24.4.0 on Win 7 PC.
    I have several 'bugs' to address.
    1) Although I've transferred thousands of old e-mails to 'Achieves', have 'compacted' every file repeatedly [see: Unable to write the email to the mailbox'], I still get the 'Unable to write...' error message requiring me to <Enter> for each individual message to download the bulk of my e-mail from my Yahoo!' mailbox.
    2) Regardless of how many times I've recategorized my saved e-mail to 'read', they continue to come up, randomly, as 'unread' every time I open T-Bird.
    3) Regardless of how often I select <View>, <Sort by>, <Descending>, my mail keeps being displayed in 'Ascending' order.
    I have many thousands (10 yrs +) of saved e-mail in my system (my T-Bird backup folder is 11.6 GB).
    Any and all replies will be much appreciated.

    Would doubt CCleaner involved. Doesn't run continuously and I only run it about once a month. Tried 'repair state' didn't see any changes. Have been fighting the 'Unable to write...' issue over a year. Have read many pages regarding it (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1760715

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

  • Twitter App keeps showing badge

    I've got a problem with my Twitter app on my Iphone 5c - it's updated.
    My Twitter app keeps showing a notification badge on the Twitter app, even when I have no notifications.
    I've messed around with the notification settings, removed my account and added it again
    And it still has a badge saying I have 4 , 5 or 8 notifications
    How do I repair this?

    Well, the standard troubleshooting steps for the iPhone are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If nothing changes after that, then you will need to work with Twitter.

  • My App Store icon keeps showing I have "3" apps to update. When I open, I get message that "all apps are up to date". WHY?

    Why does app icon show"3" when all apps are up to date?

    Hey mgerson5,
    First, try force closing the App Store application, which you can find out how to do here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
    And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase

    App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase.
    Below is a snapshot of how it looks like.
    Why  is  there  an  update  when  I  don't  even  have  the  app ?
    If  I  click  the  Update  button ,  the  message  I  got  is  this :
    and  I  have  no  idea  what's  going  on.

    Thanks DahVeed,  it  all  make  sense  now. No-wonder someone elses e-mail ID was showing up.
    I  never  advocate  the usage of  pirated  apps,  as  being  a  software  developer  myself  I  understand  the difficulty  of  creating  apps and when people use it without purchasing them.
    I can confirm that the app is now deleted from the external hard disk (which belongs to my friend).

    Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
    Hope that helps
