HT5295 IOS Podcasts app v iTunes Podcasts

I have started using the new IOS Podcasts App but a few questions:
1     How do i delete a podcast from the App if i decide i no longer want it in my list of podcasts to download?
2     How do i sync my IOS podacsts with my iTunes podcasts so that i dont have two lists of the same podcasts?
3     Why do played podcasts on my IOS App keep re-appearing as unplayed?
4     Can i sort my "Unplayed" list so that it plays podcasts in chronological order?
5     How can i hide old podcasts from the lists so that i dont see eg100 available podcasts?

Gudday,
Just wondering if you had these questions answered since last July? If not I have some answers for you...
Cheer's, Nick.

Is the podcasts app independent of podcasts in iTunes?

If I am using the Apple podcasts app on my iPhone, can I delete my subscriptions and podcasts in iTunes if I don't need access to them from my computer?

Yes.

My recent podcasts are showing on iTunes site but not in podcast app or iTunes

Hi,
I've never used this forum before, but am struggling to find out what is going wrong with my podcasts.
I have a podcast that has been running fine for some time, but now no longer updates in the podcast app, or in my podcast subscriptions in iTunes.
This is the podcast >>> https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/slam-radio/id584845850
The last episode I can see in my iTunes podcast subscriptions and podcast app is episode 55, yet the most recent, episode 59, shows fine on the itunes website.
Is there a reason that I can listen to the most recent episode via the itunes site, but my subscriptions wont update?
It seems that the problem has been experienced by several people.
As far as I'm aware, I havent changed the way I do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 19th January ends like this -
"This year, I will exercise more.&quot...</itunes:summary>
As the '"' tag has been truncated you have an ampersand (indicating the start of a code sequence) but the code is never finished. This renders the rest of the feed unreadable, and as that includes the closing tags the entire feed is invalidated and iTunes cannot read it.
There's no reason to have all these '"' tags - just type " (iTunes won't render the code but will display it, which looks messy) - but in any case don't let a code be truncated like that or you will have this problem.
Incidentally it's better all round to start your own thread when you have a query, rather than tag on to an existing one which can cause confusion if a discussion is ongoing. You're also more likely to be noticed.

Can't see any new podcasts/apps in iTunes 11.2.1

I'm running iTunes on an iMac, OS X 10.7.5. For several weeks, I have been unable to see or subscribe to any new podcasts in the itunes store, period. Previously I could see a new podcast, but could not see its individual episodes. I can still see podcasts I have already subscribed to and am able to download episodes. I can also see music, music, and iTunes U contend, but apparently not all TV shows. Anyone else having this problem and know a solution?
Have not seen this particular problem posted yet.

Ok, I just updated to Mavericks 10.9.3, in hopes that this would do something, but I'm still having the same problem. Has anyone else run into this? Really frustrated!!

Do I have to purchase a podcast app to play podcasts on my iPod/Touch?

I'm new to the iPod Touch. I have used an iPod Nano. I restored the iPod and now the Podcast app icon is missing. My iTunes is synched with my Touch and the podcasts show up in the iTunes, but there's no way to open a podcast on the iPod Touch without an app icon. Do I have to purchase an app for Podcasts?

Not quite sure why Tech101 assumed you meant only video Podcasts when you said Podcasts! (The Video/Podcasts menu will display only video Podcasts. the Podcasts menu will display both!)
However, as Bob Harris says, if you look on the Music menu and select More, you will see the Podcasts section. Note also, the Edit button at the top left of the More screen. Edit will allow you to move the Podcast button to the bottom of the Music screen (if you wish).
But there is one more thing. When the iPod is connected to iTunes, check (in iTunes) the Device/Podcasts pane to make sure the Sync Podcasts is set to the options you want. That could be why there are none on your Touch, which iTunes will recognise as a different iPod to the Nano, so don't assume that it will keep the same settings as it did for the Nano.

Podcast imports into iTunes & Podcast Directory

I have a 30GB iPod and have no trouble with podcasts from the iTunes Store (7.0.2.16). With podcasts downloaded from places other than the iTunes Store is where the problem comes in. I can get these MP3 podcasts into the music directory in iTunes, and the music directory on the iPod, without a problem but I have been totally unable to get these non-iTunes Store podcasts into the Podcast directory on either iTunes or the iPod.
Can I import non-iTunes Store podcasts into the Podcast directory in iTunes and the iPod? I am set to manually manage music and podcasts with selective update for the podcasts subscriptions.

Hope this helps!
Well I have had this problem once myself and i figured out that you have to convert the podcast to a certain form compatible with your ipod/itunes. All you have to do is right click on it and choose convert selection to ipod. Sometimes it will manually do it though when you click and drag your podcast onto your library. I have had podcast before though that will absoulutly not convert therefore you can not use them on your ipod. Like I said I hope this helps, good luck!

Why do lists flicker and jump in iOS Music app with iTunes match?

I recently signed up for iTunes match. I have a large library on iTunes on my Mac and I'm using iTunes Match to sync it to my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.
However now every list in the iOS Music app now constantly flickers and flashes. The album artwork flashes blank for a moment and then returns. It's as if the list is constanly updating. This happens about every 2 seconds.
Even worse... in playlists the entire list jiggles up and down. Again about every 2 seconds.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Is there a solution?

I don't know what the issue is, have had it since I have had match, and am thinking of ditching it because of it. Now, after deleting and replacing a whole slew of my music with the wrong songs, have the stuff won't play or download from match, even stuff I buy in iTunes. It's ridiculous. Apple should be paying me to be losing my media by using match. It's driving me CRAZY!

HT1848 Cannot transfer old podcasts from ipad podcast app to itunes.

I have a number of old podcasts downloaded on my ipad that aren't available from the server anymore. How do I transfer them to itunes so I can then transfer them again to my ipod nano?
I have tried syncing podcasts through itunes, but it only displays the podcasts in itunes, not the ones on the ipad.
I have tried doing a transfer purchases from ipad, but this seems to transfer everything BUT the podcasts.
There isn't a button on the ipad app itself to do this, except the one that sends a text message with a no longer valid web url.
Anything else that I haven't tried yet?

In Windows
In 11.0.1
Click the icon at top left of iTunes
Click "Show menu bar"
or
Hold down ctrl key and press the B key i.e Ctrl/B
After that - Go to
File/Devices/Transfer purchases...

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.

Can I use the Podcast app like the older iOS 6 Music Player?

I've updated to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1 and found that things seem drastically different.
How i used to do podcasts:
Subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
What used to happen:
Podcasts that were selected to sync did if there were unplayed episodes
The Music player would list only those podcasts where there were unplayed episodes
Now things have changed. I immediately was told that none of my podcasts were playable without the Podcast app. I downloaded it and installed it.
What is happening now:
Still subscribing to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
Sync to iPhone using a cable
Podcasts showing unplayed in iTunes on my Mac = 46
Podcasts showing unplayed in the Podcast app = 57 - the difference appears to be that the podcast app is showing non-downloaded podcasts
Podcast app showing all podcasts whether or not there are any to play. The list includes podcasts that are not supposed to sync to my phone.
The Podcast listing appears to be in a random order (actual list shown)-
Apple Keynotes (no episodes)
This week in Photo (8 episodes)
Jake and Amir (no episodes)
Podcast Beyond (no episodes)
Accidental Tech Podcast (no episodes)
Vector (1 episode)
Podcasts with no new episodes now show a new episode though it looks like the episode is not downloaded
I'm not sure why what is being shown in iTunes is not being shown in the Podcast app.
Is there anyway to get the old behavior using the Podcast app?

Additional information. Can this be right?
I spoke to Apple support who said that the settings for podcast syncing in iTunes are no longer being used since Apple moved to their Podcast app.
This may explain why I see all 45 podcasts on my iphone when I only have 15 of them set to sync.
She also said that I would need to manually sync listened/unlistened podcasts between my Mac and my mobile devices since podcasts were no longer being synced from iTunes.
Can anyone verify?

Podcast app in iOS 6 is a major headache. Need help.

I just downloaded iOS 6 as well as the Podcast App, and my podcasts from "Music" do not all transfer to the Podcast App. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Odd also is that the synch problem I have with the Podcast app is onky on my iPod Touch where I've downloaded both the app and iOS 6. On my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 where I am still on iOS 5, the Podcast app seems to work, albeit I still receive the "We are sorry, but we are unable to authorize your account. Please contact customer service" for certain Podcast subscriptions.

How to control podcast app account?

I want to log out and log back in to another apple ID for my podcast app on the iphone. How do I do that?

Hello ther aapl.crox,
You can change the signed in Apple ID for the Podcasts app in iTunes and App stores in Settings on your phone:
iTunes Store settings - iPhone
To set options for the iTunes Store, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
View or edit your account. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. To change your password, tap the Apple ID field.
Sign in with a different Apple ID. Tap your account name, then tap Sign Out. You can then enter a different Apple ID.
According to this article that is where the account info is determined for the Podcasts app:
Podcasts for iOS: Sync podcasts - Apple Support
An Apple ID. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Podcasts App/Stations not showing correct played/unplayed status

Hi,
there is an issue with the played/unplayed status of podcasts in the iOS Podcasts app (in iTunes everything is shown correctly, though).
When I sync new podcasts to the Podcasts app via iTunes, the majority of podcasts are not showing up as unplayed in the stations I have created. It seems that the sync from iTunes is not doing something like a "refresh" of this status on the iOS device after a sync has completed.
To fix this, I currently go into the edit section of each station and de-activate the switch for showing only unplayed and activate it right away again (without leaving that screen in the meantime). After these two clicks, I confirm and leave the edit screen. Now everything is showing up correctly with the unplayed status.
Please fix this, Apple.
Thanks

log out of your cc app and then log back in.

Podcasts app issues

Podcasts are failing to load from iTunes into the Podcasts app and loaded podcasts are failing to play. Is there a remedy?
I'm not generally in a wifi area so I must sync podcasts through my computer and aside from the failure of new episodes to appear, even the episodes that are on my iPhone, with iOS7, are failing to play.
I've done a hard restart, I've deleted and reinstalled the app, none of this has worked.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I found turning off Wi-Fi worked on my iPod touch. If you can turn off both Wi-Fi and cellular network that may work on the iPhone / iPad

TS1702 Ways in which Podcast App is broken

     I attempt to download podcasts at home or work when I am at a known WiFi hotspot location. I have cellular downloading of podcasts turned off to preserve my precious data limits. Under iOS6 I had a smart playlist under my ITunes app that worked flawlessly - I was able to synch at home, walk to my car with earbuds, have it switch seamlessly to my car speakers via bluetooth, have the current podcast information stream to the display of my car, be able to skip podcasts selectively, and otherwise leave my phone in my pocket and not worry about it.
     I was forced over to the <insert string of bad word here> podcast app with the upgrade to iOS 7. I have the most recent versions of iOS7 and the Podcast app. I found the "Most Recent" 'station' and am now daily considering getting a Droid.
The Podcast app gets hung *all* the time when it's either trying to download stuff when I'm no longer in WiFi range or it's telling me that it can't download a podcast. It's quite frustrating - when I am listening to a podcast, I want the app to prioritize playing an available podcast, the rest can wait.
The Podcast app wants to tell me that it can't download a podcast when I'm not in range of a WiFi hotspot and I've told it not to use Cellular data. I *KNOW* that it can't download something new and I already told the stupid app not to download, why does the app want me to fiddle with it when I'm not in a WiFi zone? Honestly, do you *WANT* me to get into a wreck while I'm driving? Just skip to the next playable podcast!!!!!
When I am listening to podcasts on my ear buds and get into my car, it doesn't automatically switch over to the car like the Music app which does this seamlessly. I've taken to stopping the podcast, then booting my car. Yeah, it's a small thing, but the Music app can do it.
The Bluetooth Metadata displayed on my car only matches the first podcast, not any subsequent. (The Music app changes the metadata displayed as the songs being played change.)
The 'Most Recent' playlist seems to pick the most recent podcast and play all of *IT* instead of picking on a per-podcast. (I.E. If I have a podcast with 2 shows, one from today, the other from yesterday, it plays both *THEN* moves on instead of leaving the second for the appropriate order by date.)
    I'd like to figure out how to make the podcast app automatically download podcasts when it's in a WiFi zone without me having to manually drag the screen down. But this is a minor issue compared to dealing with the buggy software that is driver hostile.

This is related to this thread which has a workaround. Podcast App Crashing
