Certain podcasts I can download on the phone but not from the desktop

This is might sound weird so I apologize if I confuse people.
Tekzilla has separate RSS feeds for different versions of their podcast. Small quicktime, large quicktime, HD quicktime. Obviously with iTunes you can sync the iPhone with podcasts or you can download the podcast themselves over wifi on the iPhone itself. I have been able to sync the small and large quicktime versions with no trouble at all.
It's the HD quicktime version that is giving me trouble.
If I signup for the HD quicktime version of the podcast in iTunes it downloads like it is supposed to but that version of the podcast can not sync up with my iPhone ever and I get the message about how it can not be played on iPhone. Now the weird thing is I can download the HD quicktime version directly on the iPhone itself using wifi and the iTunes app on the iPhone itself and it plays with no problem at all.
My question is how is it possible that I can't sync the HD quicktime version of a podcast from iTunes yet I can download that same version over wifi and it plays perfectly?
I know there really is no point in watching the HD quicktime version on the iPhone's small screen but my point is why is it possible to download it on the iPhone and not being able to get it from the desktop version of iTunes? It sounds like there is some kind of error in the desktop iTunes app.

Hi Jeff
Thank you for your reply on my request.
Im working on 2 windows 7 computers.
The one at my work downloads fine and fast, the other never ends its "waiting to install"

HT1296 My Iphone 5, IOS 7.0.4 won't sync calendars to my Macbook Pro IOS 10.9.1. I can sync calendars from the MB to the phone but not from the phone to the Mac. There is no tab for the calendar in Itunes now so I don't know how else to do this.

I have a Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1 and an Iphone 5S on IOS 7.0.4 and I can't sync my calendar from the phone to the Macbook.
It works the other way, Macbook to Iphone.
There used to be a tab under Itunes that allowed you to select to sync things like calendar, notes etc. but this is no longer there, can anyone help?

This was removed in 10.9. You may have better luck getting assistance in the relevant Mac forum.

I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud

I want to be able to erase the pictures out of my phone but not from the cloud and I still want them to go into the cloud. How can I do that?
Thanks!

Are the pictures transferred to another device? Note the following quotation from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
If you are wanting a cloud storage option for photos you may want to investigate something like Flickr.

I have an iPad mini and an iPad 2. I can print email to my HP 6510 from the mini, but NOT from the iPad 2. Both are on the same wi-fi network. I have tried everything I can do including unplugging everything, restarting, etc. Can anyone help?

Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

HT4436 I have a laptop Mac and an IPad, and would like to transfer pictures, videos, etc from the ipad to the Mac but not from the Mac to the IPad, how can I set up the iCloud in both devises to do so?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

TS1347 just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook. It has worked all along until about a week ago. It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.

Plug you iPhone into your computer, select the iPhone, select the photos tab. Now check (not uncheck) the sync photos from... Select the folder where the photo came from, click apply then sync, now uncheck the sync photos box, click apply, it will ask you if you want to remove the photos click remove, it will not delete other photos exept the ones in the folder that was synced. Then click sync and the photos will be removed

TS1702 I updated to iOS6 and the Passbook shows as an icon on the phone, but not in the list of applications. Is this a useless app at this point? And, the maps - not nearly as nice as Google. (Sheesh, did I just say that?)

I updated from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6. The Passbook App appears as an app, but not in the list that appears to the left. It won't open, and it won't let me access iTunes Store from this App. Suggestions?
The maps are AWFUL. I cannot believe I am saying this, but I prefer GOOGLE maps.

What list? Where is this "left"?

Serious problem: Imovie is working from the event but not from the project

Hi,
Related to my other post, I have discovered that Imovie seems to be working fine in the event library, but not in the project library.
If I use the spacebar or play buttons in the event part, it shows the film in the right top screen or even in full screen mode.
But if I click on my project, nothing works anymore.

Hi
Try to make a new User/account. Log into this. Have a re-try.
How does it work now ?
If OK. Go back to Your first account, Take move out iMovie pref file to the desktop
Re.start iMovie.
Works OK ?
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.

I need to restore my Ipad from the iCloud, but not from the latest backup. Can I restore from a previous date? If so How?

I went yesterday to the Albany, NY apple store genius bar with a sound issue on the Ipad. After 2 hours the "genius" told me that
they tried wiping my Ipad clean, but not to worry that first everything was saved in the cloud. I was told I had to reload all
purchased Apps and would be no charge and would take some time. Due to the late hour I said I'd do it at home. I did not do
it last night. This morning I open the Ipad to find nothing in it....no contacts, no notes....nothing. I rushed back to the apple
store and was told that apparently last night a backup took place and the Icloud backed up a clean Ipad....no info. This is a
huge problem. Apple personel simply said sorry that the "genius" should have known better. Attempts to restore seems to
only go back to the last backup which of course is blank. Now my question is .....is it possible somehow with the cloud from a
previous date like you can with a PC?

You can order recovery media here

I downloaded iOS 8 and my photo stream disappeared. The weird thing is, when I went to post an Instagram picture, they were all there. So I can access them on Instagram but not from the photos app... Help?!

i have tried turning photo stream on and off and only a few come back

In iOS 8 the PhotoStream album is lumped into the recently added photos album. Delete a photo there and you will delete it from your PhotoStream.

HT4972 i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

Hi Kevin,
The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired. For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

I am trying to update my iTunes to 10.5.1 so that I can upgrade my 3GS phone but am getting the following error message when trying to install the itunes: Install step failed: Run pre upgrade script for apple mobile device support. Contact software manufacturer for assistance. I am on a MacBook pro running 10.5.8 OS. Has anyone seen this before and how can I get it resolved.
Thanks for your help in advance....

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks!

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number. I have checked every setting I can think of ?

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, when my phone rings or I receive a message. The phone does not show the name of the caller. It only shows the phone number that is calling. I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of. Any suggestions??

If you are a Verizon user try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.
