How to turn off continuous play of podcasts?

I know this should be a simple answer, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance for an answer.
I want my podcasts to stop playing in between each episode, but they don't. I don't have the shuffle or repeat icons selected. The same thing happens with songs - when one ends the next one immediately begins playing.
How do I control this? Is it a setting in iTunes or on the iPod. I'm experiencing this with iTunes 8 on an iPhone 3G.

It seems a lot of people are saying this is an iPhone 2.1 introduced 'feature'. For me, it is workign this way on an iPod Classic and, as others have noted, a big pain. For me, it seemed to have started with the release of iTunes 8.
IF I could load the iPod with podcasts in the reverse order, with older ones at the top of the list it wouldn't be so bad but when I have several older podcasts to listen to and work myself UP the list, only to have it jump DOWN the list, to a show that has already been played, when a podcast finishes, is WRONG. Please fix it Apple!

  • Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
    With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself.  Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

  • NOT SURE HOW TO TURN OFF RESTRICTIONS AS i DO NOT HAVE A PASSCODE

    not sure how to turn off restrictions

    Are restrictions enabled? If they are and you don't know the restrictions passcode:
    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How to turn off "CD Imported Alert" for itunes

    I have a radio show where I play music from my computer while I am importing CDs and I need to know how to turn off the alert sound in itunes that tells me that a cd has been completely imported such that it will not play on my show. I just cannot find the setting to turn it off though. Please help.

    If you're doing a radio show, chances are you don't want ANY of the silly sound effects coming through your speakers. At least, I wish everyone doing audio work did that. (I hear that dumb Windows click all the time on the local NPR station.) Anyway, if you go into "System Preferences" and click on "Sound", use the "Sound Effects" tab to set the alert volume all the way to the left (off). And, while you're there, uncheck the 3 radio buttons below about playing sound effects. That should do it.

    Hi,
    Please, can anyone tell me how to turn off geolocation on BB Playbook?
    It looks like it's on by default since the last OS update. But I may be wrong.
    I read on this forum you can't turn off the GPS sensor.
    That's OK as long as I can disable it's geolocation function on the Play Book.
    Thank you, Walt.

  • Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Just disable it -
    Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
    Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups.  If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.
