I can't remove an unchecked podcast from my iphone

Hello all,
I have my iTunes set to only sync checked Podcasts, but for some reason, some of my Podcasts are not being removed from my iPhone, even though I uncheck them on iTunes.  Yes, I can swipe aqnd delete them manually on my iPhone, but before the software update, I was able to uncheck a Podcast, and it would automatically be removed from my iPhone, without me having to swipe it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I think this problem occurs when you download podcasts onto your iPhone from the web, not via iTunes. I too had a bunch of podcasts that would stay on my iPhone after I'd listened to them. I tried upping the play count, deleting them in iTunes, even unsubscribing from the podcast, but they still stayed on the iPhone.
Anyway, eventually I tried swiping across them (like you do for email), and the Delete button appeared. So I deleted them manually directly on the iPhone, and finally got rid of them.
I guess this has arisen thanks to iCloud and you not needing to have a computer anymore to manage podcasts, etc. But still, you'd think the options you set in iTunes would be applied globally to all your podcasts, no matter how they got onto your iPhone.

  • TS1702 Please I can not remove the viber icon from my iPhone 4s as it is a gray icon and have the word "waiting" under it and if I press long to have the (x) to delete it the (x) will not appear

    Will it let you delete it on the phone now? If it still shows waiting, just tap it once on the app itself and it should download the rest  of the way. Do it while your on wifi tho.

  • How can I remove all the music from my iPhone?

    I want to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 (Current iOS) and then load a completely new set of songs from my Mac (Current OS).
    How do I do that ? 
    Even when I define a specific new playlist and tell it to apply only that it still does not remove the unwanted songs.
    Thanks !

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • Can't remove some nonexistent podcasts from my library.

    I have a small problem, I have four podcasts to which I'm no longer subscribed. The problem is, I can't take them out of my library. I made a smart playlist to find them, but since they don't come up under 'Music' I'm unable to delete them.
    I don't have a recent backup of my iTunes Directory, is there any way to remove these renegade podcasts?

    Since I discovered my own solution, I will document it here:
    1. Copied the Original Backup files from my first TM backup set into their original folders using Finder
    2. Used spotlight to find these files in the folder
    3. Start TM and it can find this folder then right click and "Delete All Backups..." of the folder and TM actually deletes the folders from the backup set, hardlinks etc. through the following backups....
    4. Exit TM and trash/delete the duplicate I created from the backup set
    Cool

  • Can't remove my old podcast from store

    I’m in a strange situation, I hope someone can help.
    My organisation in the UK (RNIB) has a few podcasts listed in the iTunes store which I have uploaded recently and they are up to date.
    But I can also see “The RNIB Podcast” in the listings, which is from a few years ago and hasn’t been updated in a long time. We’ve launched a new website in that time and there’s been plenty of staff changes so no one knows where this RSS file is saved and where these podcast episodes are being pulled from.
    The individual episodes from this podcast are available to be downloaded, but when I click on the podcast name I get a message saying it’s not available in the UK store. So I can’t get to the page for the podcast in order to click on the “report a concern” link and ask for it to be removed.
    Also, I thought iTunes would stop listing podcasts that haven’t been updated in a long time, but this one still persists.
    I’ve been round and round with iTunes store support and basically ended up with the answer that it’s too technical and they can’t help.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this, or how I can find where the RSS file is so I can try and delete it from the source, presumably somewhere on our servers.
    Thanks for your help with this confusing problem!

    Although searching doesn't bring up that podcast, only five others with longer titles, there are a few episodes listed as being from it. The one I tried played. and I was able to find the URL of the feed it had originally belonged to:
    http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/code/public_podcastRSS.hcs p
    However there is no file at that address so I can't go any further. The episode media files do still exist, or the Store wouldn't play them, but there's no way I can detect where they are. If you can find them and delete them then they may still appear in that list for a time but won't play, and possibly will remove themselves eventually.
    Apparently the server the feed was on is no longer being used by you. Do you still have access to it? If you can upload any feed (it needn't have any episodes) to that URL and include in the top section this tag:
    <itunes:block>yes</itunes:block>
    then it may remove the episodes. Otherwise there isn't really anything else you can do.

  • Can't remove music and video from my iPhone

    When I try to remove music from my iphone by synching only checked items, most of the unchecked items stay on my iPhone
    I recently purchased some TV shows for my iPhone using WiiFi. Now I can't get them off my iPhone. I tried transferring purchases from my iPhone. That seemed to work in that they showed up in iTunes and I could uncheck them. But when I unchecked them and synched it didn't remove them from my iPhone. So I've got about 4 GBs of space used on my iPhone by video I don't want.
    I'm at the latest version of iTunes and the latest version of iOS.

    No idea, since you provide no info at all about your issue.

  • Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

    Hi,
    Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
    Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

    i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
    i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
    sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

  • How can i remove all the photos from my iphone 5S that i synced from my computer

    Hi All, my iPhone 5S is full of photos (1326) or so. however the camera roll is 827. there is an album named "My Photo Stream" which has 466 from My Computer and under it is "Shared" which has 12 from my computer. Can anybody help me to remove both these albums as there taking up a lot of space and I have tried everything to remove them!!!

    On option is to open your my photo stream album in the thumnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Then import them to your computer using your usb cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  A more convenient option is to use an app like PhotoSync, which will transfer all your photos from any album (including photo stream) to any of your devices (including your computer) over wifi by pressing a single button.

    You can't.  And had you searched this forum before posting, you would have found your question had already been asked and answered ad nauseum.  It is basic forum etiquette and a basic courtesy to others to search the forum before posting.

  • I can't remove a rented movie from my iphone

    The movie has expired.
    I have synced the phone a couple of times and it is still on there.
    I have held down the sleep and home key at the same time until the apple appears.
    I have uncheck the option to manually manage music and videos.
    I was hoping to not have to push the restore button to get rid of a movie.

    try syncing your phone a couple times and opening the "rented movies" item under the phone's entry in itunes. the first time i opened it my movie, which had expired a week ago was still there. then i undocked, re-docked and synced, and the rented movie was gone and 1+GB of free space appeared. I had synced the phone several times since the movie expired, so i think the difference was opening the rented movies entry.

  • Can't remove new mail sound from 5s iPhone

    I can't turn off new mail sound on my iPhone 5S. I have set sound to "none" in settings.

    @gsheppard I can understand how it can be frustrating not to send out email.  The error message that you are receiving indicates that the out going server settings are incorrect.  The in coming server setting are correct that is why you can receive and out going server settings are wrong which is why you can not send out.  The best way to get this resolved would be to contact your email provider and get the correct outgoing server settings.  Hope this helps.  Thanks.

  • How to remove an apple ID from my Iphone

    How can I remove the apple ID from my Iphone and install another apple ID?

    Remove it from where ? If for the stores then you can log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with a different account - but any content that was downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to it, so only that account can potentially redownload those items, download updates to its apps and do in-app purchases in them.
    If you mean for the cloud then Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and you can then log in with a different account
