BUG: Deleted podcasts on iPhone, get re-copied when doing Sync...

on the iPhone, its possible to delete podcasts if you're done listening/viewing them...
however, iTunes will continue uploading the same podcast, over and over again until you delete it in iTunes...
W-T-F !!
*Apple sox @ Sync*

I don't believe that this is a bug but rather a design choice. You can only change syncing options from iTunes. However, being able to delete a podcast or movie from your Touch/iPhone allows you to free up space to add other things using from the iTunes Store when you are away from your computer. I think this is the way it was intended to work.
Whether or not you agree with the decision is another matter. Submit your feedback to Apple:

Best of luck.

Trying to figure out how to delete podcasts from Iphone

How to delete podcasts from Iphone without internet connection?

Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.

How to delete podcast on iphone

Cannot delete podcasts on iphone (3GS, iOS5) that were downloaded directly from iTunes via 3G wireless to iphone. Cannot remove podcasts using iTunes application on PC because during SYNCH, the PC-based iTunes app retrieves the podcasts from the iphone and reloads itself.
It is like these podcasts downloaded via 3G woreless are immortal!

Workded for me as well. i had reset my phone and deleted my podcast app. i had to use itunes to reload podcast app. after it was installed i had to go into the podcast app and i deleted all my subcriptions i had in the libarary. after that the appstore started working again like normal. what darn headache apple cmon lol. fix this sht.

I can't get album artwork to show on my iPhone. It downloads when I sync but no show. Am I missing something in setup. My other iPhone shows the artwork. I might be missing something but they appear to be set up the same. The wife's works, mine does not.

HT1386 how do i delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it does not delete off my ipad

How do I delete music from my ipad? I have deleted the music from my itunes but when I sync it wont come off my ipad.

If you don't want to delete too much then you can do it directly on the iPad. You can either swipe across track names and you should get a delete button, or on the album or artist selection screens you can press and hold an album or artist and you should then get an 'x' on its top corner which will delete the album or artist if you tap it.
If you want to delete more then it may be quicker to connect the iPad to your computer, and on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under the iPad device you should see a Music section (if you don't see the content types listed then click the arrow next to the iPad's name) - select that and on the right-hand side you should see a list of the music that is on your iPad, and you can then select and delete them.

The podcasts that I have subscribed to via itunes have stopped downloading/syncing. I see new podcasts on the podcasts website but they are not listed on my list of itunes podcasts, nor do they show up when I sync to an iPod

Here you are "the strange draft logos"...

Why am I getting an error when I sync my iPhone 5S?

The error message "The iPhone "iPhone name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)." came up when I have been syncing my new iPhone 5S.
This didn't start happening until last night, when I restored my iPhone from an old back-up I had from my iPhone 4 that I recently transisioned away from. Was this a mistake? Do I have to restore it to factory settings to get this error to go away? What do I need to do?
Also, something to note is that when I looked this error message up, I came up with some solutions for an iPod getting this same error message, but nothing with an iPhone. The solutions had something to do with a locked file blocking the process. How do I know if a file is blocked?
I have an mp3 on my iPhone that won't go away with deselecting "Sync Music," But every other music file was able to come off with clicking that button. Is that the problem? The only way I can think of getting this file off is to do a factory reset to my iPhone. I'd prefer not to do that because I lost some phone numbers in the process of restoring it this last time. Apparently my back-up was from 2013, when I could've sworn I backed it up right before I got my new iPhone.
I'd love help with this, please. Thank you so much!

I am copying this for you from another thread:
== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy -https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.
I hope this helps.

Why do songs deleted from my iPhone try to resync when I plug it in?

I am using iTunes match and I ran into a problem... When I deleted a song directly off the iPhone (Not iTunes), it tries to add itself back the next time I plug the iPhone in (See attatched picture). Even if I already have that song it tries to re-add itself, which is kind of annoying. Some of these songs I don't even "own" or have in my library, which is wierd. Also, it tries to add a "Purchased" playlist with those songs which is annoying because I don't want those songs, and I never bought them because they came with iTunes match, which is why I deleted them in the first place.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,
Michael Richards

Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

Why can I delete songs from iPhone if they return when synced??

Why is there an option to delete songs from iPhone if it dosn't really delete them?? When you delete songs from the iPhone it will put them right back in as soon as you press sync. The only way around it is to manage you music manually witch is allot harder and now when you delete from iPhone it won't sync them back in but you now don't know what you removed. So you won't be able to put them back in unless you put back to auto and put all songs back in. What should happen is when you sync with pc the songs you removed from iPhone should automatically be unmarked so they are not synced back in and you know what you have deleted. Why is this so hard for apple to do!!!!!?????

TS3899 maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete from my iphone or computer, it will not sync....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of

maybe you can help....I can receive mail fine, but when I open or delete emails from my iphone or computer, it will not sync with each other....so I have 600 emails on my iphone and 100 on my computer..I have looked at everything I can think of

I don't know about the systems, but is your phone on wireless and your other device on wireless? Then I think they would mutually update.
Howerver the previous response from ckuan sounds much more informed so I would check that out.

IPhone gets very hot when not being used!

Been having some trouble with my iPhone recently. For some reason the iPhone gets hot - I don't mean warm... When it's in my pocket I can feel the heat being generated, or sometimes I'll pick it up from my desk and it'll be warmer than me, even when it's not being used.
It's started doing this recently. I've already had to hard reset it due to other issues but in addition to the heat issue the battery goes down really quickly, again when it's not being used. Today from a full charge it was down to 50% in about 2 hours.
I had suspicions it was due to a recently installed app, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas? Does it sound like hardware or software to you? Is there an app I can use to see what app is being used the most (in terms of CPU/memory/battery usage)?

Thanks both. I've restored the device and I'll see how that goes. In addition I've turned off Bluetooth since it doesn't work properly (the reason for doing the first reset). I'm finding if my headset goes out of range of the iPhone, it disconnects and never reconnects to the iPhone. If the headset is out of range for too long and I try reconnecting it via the BT menu option by selecting the headset, it tries to find it but fails. I end up having to completely re-pair the headset all over again.
Any reason for this or is it a known issue with the bluetooth?

How do I keep my iphone from duplicating songs when I sync to my computer?

How do I keep my i-phone from dulicating songs when I sync to my computer, and how do I delete the duplicated songs from my phone?

Hmmm, mine has never done that in the 7 1/2 years I've had an iPhone, and I've never seen a post that reported this problem before, so it's a mystery. If you provide a little more detail maybe someone can help. For example, is it all music that gets duplicated, or only some? Where did the music come from; the iTunes store, ripped CDs, or imported MP3s? Do you see the duplicates in the iTunes music library on your computer? What kind of computer? What version of iTunes? What operating system?

Why does iPhone rate whole album when it syncs to iTunes rather than just single song sometimes?

I wasn't sure if this should be an iTunes or iPhone discussion, so here goes!
I am very particular about rating my music. Every day at work, as songs play on my iPhone, I give them a star rating. This star rating then transfers to iTunes when I sync my phone. Most times, these ratings go through just fine. Sometimes, however, rather than just rating a single song with three stars on an album... It'll give the whole album in iTunes three stars. (Three stars is just an example.)
What I mean is that if viewing an album list, the album rating will be hard coded per se on the left and give all the songs three stars even if I never listened to / rated them. I can then click to remove the rating on the album on the left, and the unrated / unplayed songs will lose that hard coded rating and return to no rating.
What am I doing wrong? Lol. It drives me crazy! Once a month I view all my albums as a list so I can remove the hard coded ratings. There are usually six or seven albums that'll have it. I do nothing different on the iPhone that I am aware of.
Has anyone else experienced this situation or have a solution? I'm on an iPhone 4S, latest software. This also occurred with my iPhone 3GS
Chris

Still an issue, Apple. iPad with 5.1.1 and I have the same issue. There doesn't appear to be a way to rate a single song.
