Downloading podcasts via iPhone

I went to download 2 episodes of a podcast last night via my iPhone. Of course there is a 10MB limit so I was told to either connect to a wifi network or use iTunes via the pc. I chose the pc route and synced the 2 podcasts. But iTunes on my iPhone is still showing 2 podcasts to download which I can't.
How do I get rid of those that simply sit in the download section? There is no delete option, simply download or pause.

Swipe your finger across the download selection, left to right, and a delete box should appear.

What is going on with itunes? I can't download podcasts via iphone 3G.

Same on my wife's 3GS. It works on my friends iPhone 4. It is the vast majority of podcasts on a 3G or 3GS. I can still download a tiny number of the ones I checked (Tech Center) but the biggies (TWIT, Tech News Today, Security Now, Tekzilla) just show the logo on either 3g or WiFi. This has been going on for almost a week. My 3G is on iOS 3.1.3 and my wife's 3GS is on 3.1.2. I have seen reports of others with the same issue on a 3G/3GS on iOS 4.3.3.

Finally found the right thread and the solution. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3278977?start=15&tstart=0

Can't update apps or download podcasts on iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1

I can't download podcasts or update apps on my iPhone 5s. I had the problem on iOS 8.0.2 and the problem of updating apps went away for a few days when I updated to iOS 8.1. But now my apps won't update anymore. My podcasts stopped downloading at the same time as my apps stopped updating, but downloading never restarted. I am able to stream my podcasts though.
My iPhone 5s has 64GB and I have 42.8GB available, so storage capacity isn't the issue. I've had the phone for 10 months. The phone had 1 second of water damage about 2 months ago. This issue didn't start until about three weeks ago, so I don't know if they are related. I've tried soft and hard resets, nothing has worked so far.
I appreciate any suggestions.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 6 16GB. If you restore it, the problem will be solved but it will return after some hours or so. It's not hardware, but I don't know how to fix it permanently.

Downloading podcasts to iPhone

When I download podcasts to my iPhone, I get a link to the podcast with a "cloud" (download) icon. The actual content doesn't download. So if I forget, when I'm on the road I have to stream it over wireless instead of playing it back from the iPhone itself.
There must be a way to force the actual content to be downloaded (as opposed to a link), but I can't seem to make it happen.
In iTunes, I set up the iPhone to download the five most recent episodes of selected podcasts. When I run the sync, only the links are installed on the phone, not the content. I have tried both hard-wired and wifi backup with the same results.
Any ideas?

I can do that fine, that's not a problem. My point is that you should be able to sync them without having to turn the computer on, plug the phone in and sync. If we can access the store on the phone, why can't we access the podcasts? They live in the store for crying out loud! I'm nitpicking, but I love Macs because they simplify my life. Cranking up the computer every morning to get my daily podcast is something I don't think I should have to do.

Trouble downloading podcasts on iPhone

I'm having trouble downloading podcasts on my iPhone. It goes really slow and sometimes downloads all the way, other times it switches between "downloading" and "processing" and the little blue bar never moves

Can't sync downloaded podcasts to iPhone

When I sync my iPhone it does not pick up my selected podcasts. Instead, ALL my podcasts are shown, but only in the cloud.
I do NOT want to stream my podcasts using cellular data when I have already used my home wifi to download them.
I have tried turning my phone off and on.
Please help me....it's looking like I can't listen to podcasts anymore unless I am at home with my laptop. This problem started in the last couple of days and did not seem to coincide with an upgrade for my phone or iTunes.

Yes....all the podcasts are definitely downloaded onto my laptop.
But in your first post you said that they were all in the cloud, in which case they are not on your laptop.
If the Podcasts are on your laptop, then presumably they are not being copied to the iPhone when you Sync the phone with your iTunes Library. In that case, check your Sync options to make sure that the option to Sync Podcasts is still selected. Sync Podcasts is a separate option to Sync Music.

Previously downloaded podcasts prompt to download again on iPhone

Whenever I sync my iPhone to iTunes, my previously downloaded podcasts get removed. Any podcast that was downloaded prior to the sync prompts to download again when I go to play it (which is typically when I commute and I don't have wifi access). Unfortunately, I have one podcast that requires me to sync via iTunes. Otherwise, all the others sync great with the podcasts app. I am hoping there is a setting that is causing this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey there Mestrya,
It sounds like your one iPhone 4 is having issues downloading or using internet on a Wi-Fi connection even after resetting your phone and modifying your router settings, but other devices work without issue. I would recommend for you the following article to help resolve this, named:

All the best,

Why can I no longer download podcasts to my iPhone with Podcast 2.1?

Podcast 2.1 automatically updated on my iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.1. After the update, I can no longer download podcasts to my iPhone via WiFi and my downloaded podcasts from iTunes do not sync and transfer to my iPhone. Also, if I try to listen while downloading it only plays for a minute and crashes. Why would Apple release such a bad update that makes the Podcast app not work at all!?

I am having the opposite problem. Even though downloads are off in the settings, it refuses to stop trying to download new podcasts. I prefer to manage it through iTunes, but the app insists on doing it all itself now. It is unusable for my purposes in this state.
At first I thought I was really going to like this update.

Suddenly I can't download podcast episodes to iPhone, but they'll still stream

I seem to no longer be able to download podcast episodes on to my iPhone. When I update/refresh podcasts, the little numbers appear over podcasts, indicating there are new episodes: but when I go through to the podcast, I see the little "cloud + arrow" icon (whereas before they'd download automatically). I press on the cloud/arrow icon: it dims briefly, but nothing happens. In the "My Stations" view, there's the command "Download all" at the bottom: if I press that, it dims briefly, but nothing happens.
The episodes still stream fine: if I play them, they'll play, with occasional lags from streaming. But I now seem unable to download them.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Please, please don't tell me this is just Apple's latest move in "improving" Podcasts: I'd be horrified but not entirely shocked if they decided "No, you don't really want to download podcasts - you should just stream them all the time, because that's the right way to do it. And you want to do it the right way, don't you? The Apple way. The only right way."
This appears to have started this morning, and I updated with iOS 7.0.4 last night. Maybe that's a coincidence, or maybe it's connected.
Just when I was reconciling myself to the Podcasts app ...
Thanks in advance!

Well, the tried and true may have worked: I turned the iPhone off and then on again, and now downloads seem to be working properly. On/off button, is there anything you cannot do?

How can I download podcasts from new PC to my iPhone 4s?

The phone had been using an iMac iTunes. I've now gone to a PC. (Forced to a PC because FCPX won't support my new video camera.) On new itunes, I registered new computer, backed up iphone, synced iphone (I think) and downloaded purchased music to new computer. But ... I can't get podcasts. I can't transfer old itunes library because it's on a large external hard drive that is not FAT 31. I am willing to lose stuff on present iPhone (only one purchased app) and I can restore music, but how do I get the iphone and new computer together so I can download podcasts, new music, new apps, etc?

If you have synced with iTunes on your new computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone would have been erased first with a warning message provided beforehand indicating this would occur.
Do you have Sync Podcasts selected under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and are there any podcasts available in your iTunes library on your new PC?

"Unable to Download Podcast" error after upgrade to iOS7 - iPhone 4S

Hey all,
Since upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, the Podcasts app is no longer able to download new Podcasts directly from the app. I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Podcast" with the option to Retry, which always fails. This happens on both 3G and WiFi This error applies to any of my Podcast subscriptions. It was working fine on iOS 6.1.3. I have tried deleting it and re-installing it. I've toggled the Podcast app Settings. I have an iPad 3 WiFi and I haven't had the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
John

Hi neocec!
I have a couple of suggestions for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue. First, you should try to reset the iOS device by following these instructions:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still experiencing issues after attempting that troubleshooting step, you will want to restore your iOS device according to these instructions:

Hello,
If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
- close all apps by multitasking....
- do NOT keep the brightness to the max
Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)
