Can not fast forward though podcasts on iPhone 4.

When I first got the phone I was able to fast forward though them. Then something happened three days ago and now I can't fast forward though them at all. When I'm looking at the podcast selection screen it shows '--:--' as the time for all the podcasts. When the podcast is playing it shows '-00:00' as the play time and the scrubber never moves. If I try to fast forward at all it just jumps back to the beginning of the podcast.
Anyone find a fix for this?

I have the same problem. But it happens in mp3 music as well as podcasts. The only solution I've found is to reboot my iPhone. It's kind of a hassle, so I'd like to see a fix from Apple.

Can't fast forward in QuickTime for iPhone 3.0?

Does anyone know how to get the slider bar that allows you to fast forward a Quicktime on iPhone 3.0? On the previous version, any quicktime apps had the volume slider on the bottom, and the play timer up top, which you could slide to forward to or go back to a time on the track. On 3.0, i only see the volume slider, and a 30 second rewind, and a 'next track' button. what if you want to fast forward?

I suspect it's the way they were recorded. I've seen that behaviour before with music and video files I have downloaded. I'm not sure of the actual reason or any possible solution.

How can I fast forward in Podcast?

I want to know how to fast forward in a podcast? I can hold down the fast forward button and it goes a few seconds and I can rewind for a few seconds. However I want to fast forward minutes.
Any suggestions? I see in the manual on page 62 about podcast and audiobook controlls but I don't have playback speed or a skip to any point in the timeline.

To skip to any point on the timeline, drag the playhead along the scrubber bar. While dragging, slide your finger down to slowdown the scrub rate.

New iMovie ? can not fast forward or slow down clips ??

Can anyone help me?
When i try to fast forward or slow down a clip in iMovie i can see the option in "Modify" menu but it does not allow me to select the options

The clip must first be in a Project before you can speed it up or slow it down.
You can't modify a clip when it's just in an Event.

Unable to fast forward through podcasts

I've recently noticed that I can't fast forward through podcasts on my iPod touch, specifically with NPR All Songs Considered ones (I don't listen to any other ones, so it may not be specific to these ones). Its annoying because I can't pick up from where I left off listening. Every time I try using the bar to move through the podcast, it starts over from the beginning. Is this intentional? Is it specific to the podcast?

This is a long standing problem with iPods and appears to be specific to podcasts that get encoded using LAME, arguably the best available encoder anywhere.
From what I can tell from searching over the years, this is due to the iPod looking at a very old style header (XING) instead of the proper field in the LAME set header. This is as near as I can figure out from the posts.
This causes problems like the iPod thinks the track is shorter than it really is (a good example of this is a long MP3 like one disc of an audiobook) and stops prematurely. Very annoying.
In the case of the NPR podcasts, the bug in the iPod causes crashes when you try to fast forward or seek.
Neither of these problems appear to be related in any way to "remember playback position", so don't necessarily go down that route.
An easy way to check for this issue on a podcast is to highlight it, and then right click, select Get Info. If you see LAME as the encoding, look out, your iPod will possibly not play it correctly.
These same podcasts play back absolutely fine on any other player, and over the years it has been consistently narrowed down to a bug in the iPod.
I sure wish Apple would fix this. I just had the same problem with a recent podcast on my 2nd gen Nano, so we loaded it onto my son's brand new iPod. I thought surely Apple would have fixed this by now, but sure enough, still broke on the latest Nano version!

Why can't I fast forward my podcasts?

I've just installed the new (disastrous) version of iTunes and I can't fast forward my episodes! This means that if I don't listen/watch an episode until the end and just click on something else on iTunes (for example, another episode of another podcast) I'll have to watch the whole thing again! This is most annoying, as my episodes are typically one-hour long. What is going on?
I also noticed my old episodes (the ones I intended to keep so I could watch again) are mostly gone, and I didn't have any backups because, until now, if I wanted to keep my epidodes, all I had to do was not delete them.
Seriously, I do love Mac but iTunes is really not the best thing they've ever come up with.

No, not all ... just some of the purchased music tracks, and most of those concentrated in recent releases.
Your options are to either work with ITMS Support to get your d/l tracks replaced (frequently they'll be okay on the second try, but not always), or can go through a complicated sequence of burning off to CD and then reimporting the track (which seems to almost always work).
There are multiple threads about this very issue in this and other forums; a quick use of the Search window would have given you your answer before ever having to post.

After update to IOS 6.0, on the iPhone 4 and 4s, emails can not be forwarded. I tried to resync, but the update does not show the forwarding buttons anymore.

Wrong! Check out KB Article: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Personally, I would not be running no test. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all their repairs. Return your computer to the repair shop but this time.......
When it’s time to pick up your computer from the repair shop:
*** Before you leave the repair shop, make sure you have the repair tech(s) power the comp up and demonstrate that it is indeed working & repaired properly too your satisfaction.***

Bump!

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

Hi I can not get my contacts on my iPhone to see

Hi
1 . I can not get my contacts on my iPhone to see
2 . When I have my contacts on my iPhone I can change the iCloud does not apply

I am a little bit confused, because I really don't understand your problem:
1. Did you lose your password and could not access iCloud? The verification failes, if you are not fast enough or if you are having trouble with your mobile network/ wifi connection.
or
2. Are you missing the contacts on your Phone? If yes, then please tell me where are you storing your contacts now and/or where you stored your contacts before (a web service or just your computer).

Is there a way to fast forward a podcast/music with some precision?

Is there a magnifying glass tool available to fast forward/rewind podcasts?

Yeah, but come on, that pales in comparison to the control you had with the wheel. I still can't believe that they didn't come up with some kind of touch-screen equivalent of the control you had with the wheel. Holding the button down is like chasing a moving target, although it's better than using your thumb to move the dot, which is completely worthless.

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down?

When using imovie for Ipad, how can I fast forward a project to cut the length down to fit under the 15 minutes required for Youtube? My current project is 23 minutes, and need to cut it down below 15 minutes. I was hoping to speed up the video. The content would actually be better viewed in at a faster speed anyhow.

Jon,
It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
Good luck,
Hunt

What type of headphones were you using? I have a set of Microssft headsets, with the built-in mic and connected via USB, and have no problems.
