How to tell iPhone/iTunes I'm done with a podcast

Is there a way to mark a podcast as done on my iPhone or iPod only part way through? I'm using the latest version of iTunes and an iPhone, and I have them set to sync only unplayed episodes. It's great that (for a while) now if I'm part way through a podcast when I sync it stays on my iPhone, but what about when I don't want it to anymore? I decide that episode is boring, I accidentally restarted one I had listened to, or I don't want to listen to the ad at the end. At the moment, I have to try and fast forward until there are just a few seconds left and let those play out. If I scroll too far and it goes all the way to the end it remembers where I was when I started fast forwarding when I sync, but if I go immediately back to the episode and try again it is at the beginning. If I hit the skip button, same thing. I need a "I'm done with this podcast now" button on the mobile device. I don't want to mess with it later when I sync, I want to plug it in and go to bed then and have it be ready for me in the morning. Is there a way?
Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion, but as I said above I am looking for something I can do from the mobile device. For example, if I forget whether I was half way through the last unmarked episode and begin it playing and it had been complete, it is suddenly remembering my place again. If I sync, it stays on the player. I want to be able to do something right when this happens so I don't need to screw around on the computer when I sync.

    If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down .  In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo.  Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want

    How do you download itunes onto a hp with windows 8?

    iTunes does not yet offically and fully support Windows 8. If you search this forum for "windows 8", you'll find threads with discussions as to how people have done it, though in almost all cases with less than perfect results.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

    How do u close the apps when done with them to save power with iOS 7

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings .... See this article for details , http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-out-background-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-ba ttery/

    With iTunes 10.5 there isn't a backup option. How do I backup my entire iTunes library under windows XP? I assume with iCloud the backup is done automatically but iCloud isn't supported under XP.

    "how can i reinstall itunes 10.5.2 on windows xp, after i deleted the older version?"
    Go to apple.com/itunes/download
    Download the current version.
    Install it.
    When installing, are specific errors being generated?

  • @Media selector in CSS: how to tell iPhone 3Gs from iPad

    Hi all,
    I have a question concerning the capabilities of the @media selector.
    From what I read in the documentation, @media, in AIR, supports these parameters
    - os-platform (IOS, AND, MAC, WIN)
    - application-dpi (160 = less than 200; 240=less then 280: 320: more than 280)
    how does one tell if the device is iPhone 3gs or iPad?
    both are IOS, both have application-dpi less than 200 (163 for iPhone 3, 132 for iPad)
    it would be useful to use max-device-width, but I guess it's not supported? it's not working for me...
    thanx!

    I've just fell on my face with the same problem. Apparently, there is no way to have different styles for iPhone 3GS and iPad inside the same application. @media selector does not let you do that. It wouldn't be a big problem if we could use theme swf files the same way we use them in Flash. But we can't do that either because loading executable code (which the theme swf is) won't work on iOS due to security restrictions. Please correct me if I wrong but it means that you can't have one application binary with different styles for iPhone 3GS and iPad.
    What makes it worse, it is not that easy to reorganize your project to build two applications: one for iPhone 3GS, another for iPad using the same application project and different build scripts (ant). It would be possible if we could link a theme compiled as SWC library. But it doesn't seem to work if you have references to skin classes and images in your css. At least after multiple trials I couldn't make it work.
    The only solution that comes to mind is to have two application projects: one for iPhone 3GS, another one for iPad. And keep everything else in libraries. I wish I could see its coming earlier so I would organize my project that way from the beginning.
    It seems like a major flaw in design of the media selector. And not just because you can't support both iPhone 3GS and iPad in one application. For the same reasons you can't have different styles for iPhone 4/4S and new high resolution iPad (both have 320 dpi screens). It would be pretty easy to fix by just adding an additional tag to the media selector.
    I wish I was wrong and there is a solution for this problem already. Please share your experience if you had the same issue.
