How could you screw up podcasts so badly?

I have a touch for one reason - to download an listen to podcasts. Whatever you did to podcasts in itunes - please change it back. The person who made the decision to make podcasts an app is on acid and has obviously never downloaded a podcast in their life. Fix it please. Whatever you did is a nightmare and unusable. That is all.

Ok, 3 more wonderful IOS 6 maps experiences to share!
When out shopping for paints, decided to visit Kelly Moore.
Used the maps app and used it to take me to the nearest store, except it was not where maps said it would be!
I called the Kelly Moore store, and they told me the maps app has the wrong town, and they have had many customers with the same problem!
Next up, I was looking for a Sherwin Williams store in San Jose, so maps took me to El Camino Real, except it took me to the wrong end of El Camino Real in Santa Clara, about 15 minutes from the right destination in Mountain View!  In fact, the app took me to Santa Clara University!
Last up, I was looking for a Chevron station.  Apps routed me to the location, but no gas station. 
So, I finally decide to use google maps through the browser, and it ends up it was again the right address but wrong city!!!! 
Unbelievable!  My confidence in Apple has been further shaken, to where I am about to give up.
I just can't trust their app, which is something I depend on every day to save me time, money and gas.
So disappointed in Apple right now...  It makes antenna gate look like a minor incident, which it was in my opinion!

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

    how could I chang my podcasts picture

    The image URL is contained in the 'itunes:image' tag in the top section of the feed: but as presumably you are not hand-writing your feed you will need to change it in wherever that information is added in whatever method you are using to create your podcast.

  • How do you erase old podcast in the mode list ?

    How do you erase old podcast in the mode list ?

    Thanks.
    Well I used the "List" view on the right and I was able to delete podcasts from there.
    I guess I'll have to get used to another view...
    I also lost all my old poscats archived though.  Not sure if it is because of wonderful 11.1 iTunes or because I bought a new computer. They're all lost. But that's a different problem.
    Since you seem so ressourceful, maybe you can help on another problem that I don't seem to be the only one having ?  Have a look at the discussion titled "
    In iTunes 11.1 when a podcast finishes it starts playing the next oldest one automatically.

    How do you listen to podcasts that you have downloaded but isent you most recent podcast???

    You can double-click unto the podcast line and you'll listen/watch it. If the podcast isn't downloaded yet, it will be downloaded from this time.
    If you want to download again all the entries of a podcast (particularly useful when you have deleted some that you want to listen/watch again) : Open the little triangle at the lest of the podcast line with the alt key down. iTunes will show you all the entries for it from the first oine to the latest....

  • How could Apple screw up MAIL ?

    There are a few things I use everyday, and I'm sure most of us use everyday like checking e-mail , how could Apple screw up a basic program like MAIL ? when I'm composing a letter, the document just disappears and thats it... Half the time I can't even click on the save button cause it's un-clickable... I have e-mails appearing and disappearing out of my out-box, my sent-box, and my in-box... what's that ? Then there's the spinning beach ball of death, and I'm having to force quite MAIL at least twice a day... It takes between 1 and 30 min and even more to check my mail, the connection is fine, it's just the new improved MAIL program doing something for my convenience I'm sure... I have to go to my .MAC acct to check e-mails sometimes.... I'm just waiting for the new system update and hoping they fix this ridicules problem... If anyone know a solution to this problem, please let me know...

    Sorry, but I totally agree with the original poster. Mail is woefully inadequate, with Apple seeming not to care.
    I stopped using Mail.app when Tiger came out. It does not work with my set up.
    I'm part of a PC-based network that accesses email via IMAP and since Tiger came out Mail refuses to display email with attachments properly. It doesn't decode them and shows the 'text/plain' attachment information instead, or just displays gibberish text, on EVERY email with an attachment.
    This is BOTH ways, I can't receive email from anyone nor can I send email to anyone using mail. I've been using Thunderbird now for a couple of months and find it an excellent replacment, and it works flawlessly.
    I don't understand how open source software can be more robust, feature-rich and reliable than software created by Apple, who should have far more resources to throw at it. I wish Apple would scrap Mail.app, take the open-source code from Mozilla, put a Apple GUI on, integrate spotlight, smart folder & address book integration and leave the under-the-hood code to someone else, as they obviously don't seem to understand the technicalities of email applications.
    I must have wasted days of researching this problem on the internet to no avail. I've installed every security & system update, hoping that Apple would sort this. I've tried everything, (including using Windows Friendly attachments). But this is a fudamental bug in Apple's way of handling attachments in certain set-ups.
    I wan't Mail.app to work, as I would love to use spotlight, address book integration, smart folders etc., but until Apple devote some resources to this I can't use Mail.
    I sympathise with the original poster. I've complained constantly about Mail.app and I get frustrated when replies are of the, "it works fine with my set-up" type. It doesn't work for me.

  • How could you create 'Last Time Contacted' Smart Mailbox in Mail app Lion?

    Hello!
    For the purposes of maintaining regular contact with a large group of contacts in your address book:
    How could you create a smart mailbox in the Mail App (Lion) which contained that last unique sent/received email from each individual contact?
    So ideally just the last email per contact. For my purposes I would then sort by date and find the contacts I havent emailed in a while and re-initiate conversation.
    I also thought that perhaps it would be possible through Automator? (I am not very familiar with how to use this app)
    Any ideas/solutions would be very appreciated!
    nmarks
    (running lion 10.7.4 macbook pro late 2011)

    Okay, I think I just discoverd a workaround. This will work if you're lucky enough to already have a smart-mailbox folder that persists after close. (Somehow I had two such folders that already existed and weren't subject to the mysterious disappearances on closing the app; perhaps I created them in a previous OS X release?) Anyway, here goes:
    Locate an already existing smart mailbox folder that's working properly. Select the folder (in the sidebar).
    Duplicate that folder using the "Duplicate Smart Mailbox" Command. (It's on the contextual pop-up menu or available via the gear icon in the lower left of the window). This should produce and exact copy of the folder and the boxes inside, appearing at the bottom of the smart mailbox list.
    Edit the duplicate folder to put the smart mailboxes you want in it, and delete the previous mailboxes (duplicates) that you don't want.
    The new folder structure should now persist between launches of the app.
    There you go. Not the most elegant process, but workable. Don't know if there's a method if you don't have at least one smart mailbox folder already though.

  • HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

    How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
    If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.

  • How do you remove unplayed podcasts in iTunes 11.1

    How do you removed unplayed podcasts from iTunes 11.1?  The new version lists all of the available podcasts, including those that have already been played.  As a result it is necessary to scroll through very long lists of podcasts to see what is available on the next podcast.

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

    If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
    If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple.  I believe it's your best bet.
