All of a sudden my podcasts are 'frozen' . . . I can't select them and the text is gray, not black.

I'm traveling and count on my iPhone 4S for entertainment. But all of a sudden my podcasts are 'frozen' . . . I can't select them and the text associated with them is gray, not the usual black. OS 6.1.3
Any ideas? I suspect a setting somewhere, but can't find it or figure it out.
The podcasts on my laptop respond and play just fine.
Thanks for any help.

On the padcast playing screen on the right side below the scrubber bar is the playback speed icon.  It can say 1/2X, 1X or 2X, those are the playback speeds. Tap the icon to change speeds.

  • I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are over 300 photos in my trash yet I can't find them and the trash looks empty?

    After problems with iPhotos I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are still over 300 photos in the trash yet it looks empty and I can't find apparently still existing photos. How can I make the number go and tells me my trash is on zero?

    First ry the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If the above doesn't help continue with  the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When syncing my IPOD, all of a sudden my podcasts are not being downloaded to my IPOD. Any Idea's why?

    When syncing my Ipod. I now do not get the Podcasts that I have had in the past. They are on my computer but when syncing do not download to the IPOD. Any Idea's?

    I have a 4th gen nano that periodically has this problem.  First, try disconnecting it from the car and forcing it to reboot (by pressing and holding the menu and center button simultaneously until the apple logo appears if it is a click wheel version... Sorry, don't know how to do it on the 6G touch nano).  Once it finishes, reconnect it to the car.
    If it still does not recognize it (only once out of a dozen or so times has the above not worked on mine), connect the iPod to iTunes and reset the settings and re-sync it, then reconnect to the car.

  • My iphone 5s screen has suddenly went very dark. I can still see everything and use it it just not as bright as it should be?

    Can anyone help? I have tried switching it on and off but nothing working.

    Liquid and electronics do not play nice together. It's impossible to say exactly what got damaged.  There are no magic words that will fix damaged hardware other than "here's my credit card".
    Take it in and have it checked out.

  • After a page loads the colors are right, then it suddenly turns light blue and the text fades to gray

    When I open google, the page immediate comes up right with a white background, and black text. Before the page finishes though, the background turns to light blue, and the text turn gray. The logos show up right framed in the white background but the rest of the page is light blue. It happens in other websites as well. There backgrounds are right, but where the text is located is like in forums the text is grayed out, and there background colors are faded too.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • All of a sudden my icons are big and everything is low res

    All of a sudden my icons are big and everything is low res as if it in safe boot mode. I did not safe boot my computer. I have shutdown & restarted and it is the same. Could it be a virus?

    First hold the Control key and scroll or swipe down to make sure that your display is not just zoomed in.
    If that does not return the display to normal, go to System Preferences > Displays > Display tab and check the Resolution: 
    If that does not help, reset the PRAM as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.

  • 2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    2nd Gen Time Capsule - will not power up - just stopped working all of a sudden - I have tried other power outlets - I have tried pressing the reset button - no light

    The power supply is shot. But that it lasted even this long is the wonder.. not that it died.
    The TC runs too hot..
    Look on ebay for "Time Capsule power supply"
    You can get a replacement and fix it although the economics are not so good.. it is probably time for a new TC.
    If you can DIY it is really only a few dollars worth of capacitors that go bad.

  • I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.  Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
    Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
    Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
    My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
    I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.

  • All of a sudden our fairly new Air's memory is almost full. The disk utility lists almost 50 GB as "Other". What has happened to our memory?

    All of a sudden our fairly new Air's memory is almost full. The disk utility lists almost 50 GB as "Other". What has happened to our memory? I am new to Apple products.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    When it comes to clearing space on a drive, you have to decide how much to clear.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
    Although you may be told by other contributors to this site that you should keep some fixed percentage (such as 10% or 15%) of the space on the boot drive available, that advice has no basis in fact as far as I can tell. The amount of available space you need depends on your usage pattern. I don't know how much you should have, and I don't make recommendations based on what I don't know. It should certainly be more than 9 GB.
    If your data collection is growing quickly, then, depending on the size of the startup volume, you may need more than 10% available space in order to avoid the risk of filling it up, which can lead to a boot failure. If your data is relatively static, you may need less than 10%. I've seen no evidence that there's a loss of performance when available space falls below any threshold higher than the one Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
    About local snapshots
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then drag or copy — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Press return. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

    I have the iphone 4 and just updated to iOS 6 and all my text messages are gone. Can I get them back?

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.
