E-books and podcasts in french and NOT automatically in german in Switzerland

How to get e-books and podcasts in french and NOT automatically in german, even living in Switzerland, but in the french part of Switzerland?
In Switzerland, 70% speak german but there is a large part speaking french.
As I am living in the french part of Switzerland, I speak french and NOT german. How to change my ebook and podcast applications from german to french? I don't want to see a book or à podcast in german anymore on those apps. In french, please! Or possibly in english. But NOT in german.
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here, but you can offer feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/.
However, Apple does not control the laungages that e-books or podcasts are published in for a given itunes store. That is up to the publisher. Perhaps you should reach out to them.

  • HT2242 Belgium has 2 (well actually 3) main languages, namely Dutch to the North and French in the south. If I select Belgium, I can only buy movies and see trailers in French and not Dutch. Can anybody help?

    Hi all,
    I believe that I am faced with a common problem, namely: A large multinational that wants my money but is not interested in my country. I selected Belgium as country in iTunes. As a consequence, two things happened. One iTunes uses a mix of French and English to talk to me and does not offer me Dutch. But more importanly, it also offer my movie trailers and movies in French and not Dutch. I am not going to buy movies that are dubbed in French.
    As said, I sure many other Belgians have raised this but I cannot find a solution. Any help?
    PS: For the Apple boys and girls, if you ever wondered why Belgium remains a modest market for you, well because you do not address your audience in their language.
    Pss: To make you feel better, you are not alone. Your friends at Microsoft are not much better.
    A disappointed customer

  • I Have an Iphone 3gs and have problems syncing music and podcasts

    I have had my phone now for around 15 months and have not had previous problems with it.
    I synced my phone today and it has cleared all music and podcasts from it and will not allow me to resync - apps are syncing fine.
    It is a 32GB phone but on summary page it now says its capacity is only 4GB
    Any ideas on what I have done or how to fix?
    Thanks

    If you're talking about "regular" icloud, then setting it up should have no effect on your music.  Try syncing the device to iTunes and check the music settings and sync again.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, is the device in wifi range?

  • My iphone 4s deleted all of my books, music, and podcasts from my phone and now will not allow me to put them back on there.

    As stated in the title, I was redownloading old purchases. After transferring a tv show onto my iphone it would not allow me to transfer another one. I wasn't able to locate the show on my phone, so then I checked my music. All of my music and podcasts were missing. My books were showing up at first, but then as soon as I closed out of one that I was reading and clicked on a different one they all vanished as well. I tried dragging on a song, a book, a show, and I kept getting the circle with the line through it. I have no idea what to do. My phone has always been set up to manually manage music and videos. When I selected to sync all music it still wouldn't do anything.
    I've also recently, within the past 4 hours, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes because it kept crashing when I was trying to download my old purchases. I've done it before and haven't had any issues with it deleting anything before. I'm in the process of restoring my phone in the hopes that this will work, but I don't know if it will.
    Anyone out there that can help me?

    iPhone 3G is Old technology. When it was launched it had iOS 2.0. Currently, the highest it can go is iOS 4.2.1 and therefore can not handle many newer applications. As you have recorded, it is giving good service for which it has been designed.
    Needless to say, if you want to use applications as stated, you must have at least 3GS, whose current is iOS 6.1.2. On the lighter side; Rather than updating iOS they are asking you to update iPhone (Technology). Cheers

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

    Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download).  Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.  
    This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a  developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
    If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

    Fair question
    And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
    I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

    iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
    but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
    sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
    creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
    AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
    Video podcasts are mixed with audio
    podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
    its a disaster
    my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
    no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one.  I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc.  And I want to be able to make individual folders.  But I do not need more than that. Help!

    I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one.  I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc.  And I want to be able to make individual folders.  But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

    One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
    What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

  • Podcast no longer exist and podcast can not be played on this ipod

    Ok I subscribed to two podcast one video and one audio and when I try to sync them to my ipod a message pops up and says they can't be synced because they no longer exist. I don't understand that because it downloads them each time there is a new one.
       Well I found a way around that, but now my problem is the video podcast that I subscribed to, when I try to put it on my ipod says it can not be played on this ipod. I don't know why, it's the same format as the other one (.mov). I know I can reformat it, I already did that with one but it's like twice the size or more of the original format plus I don't want to sit and reformat each one it takes too much time.
    If there is anyway I can fix this without reformatting please let me know. And if you know how to fix the first problem please that would be great.
    btw I have an ipod nano 3rd generation.

    Are the files you are trying to import mp3's? If not then either use iTunes to convert them or get some other third party program (i found a few really good ones but i can't remember what they were called). If they are mp3 maybe try converting them to mp3 again using a different encoder? (my LAME encoded ones seem to work fine)

  • I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

    I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod.  They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod.  All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.  For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large.  Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small. 
    Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

    I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

  • HT1339 I'm not sure what I did, but my computer asked me what I want the ipod to do, and now it will only look for photos or videos on my device, and will not connect to itunes to download songs and podcasts.

    My computer asked to what I want the ipod to do. Now it only looks for videos and photos, which it does not find. I can't sync my podcasts or music to the device. Not sure how to fix it. It is an ipod touch.

    Connect your iPod to the computer (and iTunes) and look on the Device/Music pane, as below:
    You need to have Sync Music ticked, as shown.
    If you have Entire Music Library checked, then all your music should go back onto yuor iPod.
    If you have chosen Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres, you will see additional options for choosing which of those choices you want.
    If you make any changes here, you may need to click on the Sync, or Apply, button to make the changes happen.

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • PodCast and Videos from Itunes store "not compatiable"

    I downloaded some of the free content from Itunes, one was a video podcast, and now when I sync my ipod it tells me that it can not be added to my ipod because the file is not compatable?
    Why is Itunes offering uncompatable product?
    Is there a setting I need to change/update?
    Also Movies I had previously downloaded and watched on my Ipod no longer play, I am told they are not compatable either.

    Podcasts are universal and all the iTunes Store does is list them (in a catalogue). They may be compatible with Apple TV, which is why the store features them.
    Is there a setting I need to change/update?
    As Katrina says, maybe you have downloaded the HD version. Check the page where you found them and see if it says HD. If so, look fo the non-HD version, if there is one. However, there are video Podcasts that are not HD, but still don't play on an iPod, even though they play in iTunes. Try selecting the Podcast in iTunes and clicking on *Advanced/Create an iPod or iPhone version.* (It doesn't always work!)
    Also Movies I had previously downloaded and watched on my Ipod no longer play, I am told they are not compatable either.
    I don't have an answer for that, what movies are they?
    Video standards are changing rapidly and some Podcast producers forget that iPods cannot play every video format available. That's why you find content in the iTunes Store which is incompatible with an iPod.
