IOS 5 podcast bugs

Here is a list of the podcast-related bugs that I have found in iOS 5... so far...
2x speed changes to 1x after phone calls.
The app still says that it is in 2x mode.
Minor issue, but still annoying.
Video podcasts not listed in the Videos app.
iTunes U videos are the only thing listed.
Video podcasts are on the device, but are only accessible through search.
The 'Store' button (located in the top-left corner of the screen) goes missing on the podcast list and Videos app.
Audio playback 'hiccups' when going to another app.
This appears to be related to overall CPU demand in the OS.
This issue has been carried over from earlier iOS releases.
Wi-Fi Syncing issues.
iTunes fails when trying to start the sync process for some reason (likely just an iTunes issue).
Sync times-out frequently (again likely an iTunes issue).
Sync issues persist for no apparent reason even when iTunes seems to be working fine and Wi-Fi signal is excellent.
These issues make Wi-fi sync completely useless...
Non-bugs, but changes needed...
Put video podcasts back in the Music app (formerly the iPod app)... It just worked better that way!
Add the ability to manage podcast subcriptions without iTunes... Any way to get away from iTunes is good!
Add 2x speed for videos...
Often, I have noticed that the phone sends some data over 3G when starting to play a podcast or video podcast. Ther is no reason for this... Stop it!
And there you have it!

I have indeed called Apple technical support. When I told the woman who took my call about the audio titles no longer appearing in video, she immediately tried to pin the blame on the video itself. She asked which video from the iTunes store gave me the problem. My reply was that I created the video myself - wrong answer! It must be that the video didn't meet the MP4 specifications, she told me. And she added that Apple can't support 3rd party videos. Ooh, good job, Apple technical support person; you just absolved Apple of all responsibility. Of course, she hated it when I told her that the video displayed audio titles with no problem in earlier IOS versions. In fact, I have the same video on an ipod touch 3rd generation (running IOS 4.3.5) that displays the audio titles perfectly, I told her. Her weak comeback was that she has no way of verifying what I'm telling her and that she can only troubleshoot when the videos come from iTunes. What a moron!!! I was tempted to tell her that the videos I make using Handbrake are of much better quality than what comes from iTunes, but I didn't want to get off track. And I have since confirmed that this problem affects Apple videos too from a post on another website. Maybe they have some good technical support people at Apple; but for the few times I called them on this and other issues, the people I spoke to were robotic in their responses and didn't seem to be in communication with the software designers who created the problems in the 1st place.
As for joining the Apple IOS Developer Program, I'm not sure I would feel comfortable with it since I'm not an IOS developer. I'm also irritated that a person would have more clout in reporting bugs as an IOS Developer than as a regular user. Since you're already part of this program, kevpan815, why don't you tell Apple how they're screwing up IOS with their updates and then report back here. I would be curious to know how they would respond.

Ios 5 location bug ?

ios 5 location bug... I live in South Africa and i would love to use the reminders app for the location based alerts but as you can see here -->https://p.twimg.com/Abyz8QQCAAAyuPQ.png:large
when you drop a pin it just gives you the general area no roads or anything,
i am wondering if this is a problem with google maps or with iOS5 or both
any ideas ?

I have noticed the exact same issue. Since updating to iOS5 the maps app seems to not list the pin point position thus making the location based reminders very difficult to use.
I tested this with an iOS5 and an iOS4 device today and the iOS4 mapping gives street names and not just Johannesburg GP like on iOS5? See attached pictures with devices mapping at the same location?
I went into the Apple store in Sandton City on Thursday but the guy I spoke to simply said that it is a new operating system, and he would try and look into it? My problem is that if this is just a South African mapping iOS5 issue how long will it take to get resolved without being brought to the attention of the right people?

IOS 5.1 bugs

iOS 5.1 bugs
what happened to apple?
im afraid that they're gonna fall the reputation and efforts of Steven Paul Jobs.
im using itouch 4g, it came with iOS 4.1 firmware and it worked as the apple device would be, it never showed me loading thing.
whatever i opened either music nor 720p videos, it never lagged.
But with iOS 5.1 all the things in my iOS device are starting up after loading.
the world's best music device is now turned to ordinary one.
please apple wake up and hear your customers.
in scrolling music albums and in landscape orientation the album arts are loading like the ordinary devices.
after unlocking,the touch is not responding for a few seconds.
i never expeted this in apple.

Keynote for iOS Bullet Alignment Bug?

Does anyone know how to solve this issue:
Image bullets in Keynote for iOS have a bug related to vertical alignment of the image.
For the first line of text, the bullet image is correctly aligned in the vertical center of the line.
For all other lines, the bullet image is aligned towards the top of the line.
This is true regardless of whether I use the default image in iOS or import an OSX keynote document.

I kept trying things this weekend to fix this problem, and I FINALLY figured out what the common feature was, that was causing the misalignment of the bullets.
Line spacing.
If you apply line spacing BEFORE a paragraph, it misaligns the bullets... which is WHY it wasn't happening to the 1st bullet in each text box, but only those following....
In the final test I changed the line spacing attribute to AFTER a paragraph, and VOILA! no more misaligned bullets.
It's definitely a bug in the software, since either way it looks fine on the mac, and is only a problem on the iPad.

How to fix IOS 5 Podcast Bookmark Problem/bug

IOS 8.2 and Video Podcast Bug

Is there a problem with losing video when playing consecutive video podcasts in IOS 8.2?
I subscribe to NASA HD video feeds, and recently discovered a problem where the first video podcast I select plays perfectly, but when it automatically goes to the next video, only the audio plays. Interestingly if I fast forward to the end, the podcast shows up in my "to be deleted" queue. I can then select the podcast in that queue, and it plays correctly. The problem only occurs viewing consecutive podcasts beyond the first one selected. I can reproduce this problem (and the workaround) consistently.
I have an iPad Mini running IOS 8.2 (12D508) and I am using the native IOS Podcast viewer version 2.2 (740).

The ring tone is on my commuter and I have made a sync the phone still does not have the ring tone on it.

IOS 5 has introduced new Podcast bug, resuming playback

I use the standard Apple earphones to listen to podcasts, and I almost always trigger playback by pressing the button on the earphones which resumes playback of whatever you were last playing, for me normally the last podcast.
This used to work fine until the iOS 5 upgrade, and now when i click that button on the earphones, the podcast starts to play but it goes garbled, skips around a bit, plays ormally intermittently for a few seconds then garbles again. This goes on. Even if you pause and resume again. I have to terminate the Music app and start it again to get it working normally again.
Anyone else experiencing this?

OK - My wife has an iPhone 4 (NOT S) but and has iOS 5.01 installed, but the lyrics DO change on her phone - we just tried. She however is still on iTunes 10.5.0 not 10.5.1 and she does not have iTunes Match.
So since someone on another forum indicates that this is happening on their iPhone 4, it must be a problem with iTunes 10.5.1 or else something to do with iTunes Match on the computer (not that I only have iTunes Match on my comuter - I do NOT have it on my iPhone 4S - I am hard syncing), or the combination.
So if are you using iTuns 10.5.1 and / or iTunes Match on you computer, can you test this? BTW - I'm on Windows 7.

Ios 5 podcast sync does not work

Just updated from ios 4 to ios5.
The video podcasts now are moved from ipod app to video, which is ok. However, I can't find a way to synchronize the vidoe podcasts with the podcasts on itune. Each time my iphone was connected to itune, some old podcasts on my iphone were synchrozined to my itune podcast. I tried to delete those videos in itune, check "sync podcasts" tab, and sync again. The old podcast videos stayed on my iphone ... It is very annoying ...
Anybody has any clue on how to fix it?

I am seeing the same sort of bug here, but with normal and video pod casts. I often clean up old podcasts in iTunes, but after the iOS 5 update when I sync, these pod casts get copied from my phone back to iTunes instead of being deleted from the phone as they had been (since iPhone 3G whatever iOS version that was). However, this is not always the case. Sometimes the podcasts will be deleted from the iPhone, and sometimes they will be copied from the phone back to iTunes.
This is both annoying and confusing. Nearly all my podcasts are downloaded automatically in iTunes and syncronized with my iPhone. Now it is unclear how to remove old podcasts from my phone.
P.S.
I use the "Automatically sync all" podcasts option. I find that none of the other options meet my needs. I want all new podcasts copied to my phone, but I also want at least one podcast to remain on my phone even if it has been listened to. This is so I can easially downlod podcasts via the phone when away from my main computer for a significant length of time (trips, vacation, etc).

IOS 7 calendar bugs

iOS 7 calendar on iPhone is not showing notifications for today or scheduled events for tomorrow. Is anyone experiencing this problem?

Bug in monthly view.
If I'm viewing the current month, all is fine. (So far for Sep and Oct). The top left hand corner labels the current month correctly and in bold. Eg. October 2013. I'll call this the (monthly) Label.
But if I scroll forward to view future months, the Label displays the month incorrectly, lagging by a month.
For example. I'm viewing the whole of January's calendar but the label would still be December.
I have to scroll till January is almost out of view ( and Feb coming into view) before the label indicates January. By then, the little 'Feb' in 'Feb 1' has disappeared.
And I would see Feb dates indicated as January.
This issue is unstable. When I first got to ios 7, the labeling issue was apparently from viewing the current month.
Now, it seems to behave for the current and next month before it goes haywire again.
So please do scroll to many months ahead to check if you have this bug.

IOS Photos app bug

I didn't know where to submit this to apple, so hopefully someone reads it.
Since about 2 iOS updates ago, I've noticed a bug in the regular Photos app. When switching back to Albums view after looking at Places, the list of albums will start at the very top of the screen (behind the clock, and app controls) making it impossible to click on the Camera Roll.
You have to go to the App Switched and kill the photos app to get it to work properly again.

Ah, now I see it's a well known problem...
It's been happening since 4.3, have they missed it in the last couple releases?

Iphone 5 / iOS 6.0 bug: Video sound no longer playing in lock screen

Hi,
With my iPhone 4 I was able to listen so the sound of a video, even if I went to the lock screen. With my iPhone 5 and iOS 6.0 this is no longer possible. When I start e.g., a music video in the video app and
then go to the lock screen, the video an sounds stops. A double click on the home button shows the play button, but if pressed, the sound of the video won't play. If I press the forward / rewind button, a track of the music player will start to play. With previous versions listening to videos was possible while being on the lock screen / screen was turned off. Is there a fix for this bug? Has anyone the same problems? Would be great to listen to my music videos again...
Bye
Chris

I'm having the same problem. Incredibly frustrating as this was a major use of the iphone when I had IOS5.
Apple, please fix this!

IOS 6 podcast app problems

Having problems with the podcast app not showing up podcasts. If I slide the subscription button on it shows the newest one up in the list but after I click download it does nothing. I upgraded to iOS 6 on release with the iPad I use for my video podcasts I watch. I can download them on my iPhone 4 through iTunes with no problem. Any suggestions on what's wrong or how to fix it?
Ps. Using same Internet connection with the same Internet settings if that helps.

I am having similar issues. Several podcasts work fine, no problems. For others, I get persistent problems.
A few I can't download or stream at all. Some I can stream fine, but when I try to download, it stalls at "Preparing to download..." forever. Sometimes this eventually fails with a notice that the podcast couldn't be downloaded, other times, it just stays that way indefinitely. A few times by restarting the phone (not just the app, the whole phone), a podcast episode that was stalled before will start downloading. Its inconsistent and frustrating. None of these issues seem to occur in iTunes on the Mac, also with the same internet connection.

Scroll indicator sometimes disappears in Safari iOS 8.3 bug. (On scrollable divs using "-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch")

Hi,
After updating to iOS 8.3 on an iPad Air, it seems something is wrong with the scroll indicator on scrollable divs in Safari.
It scrolls like it should be, but randomly I just don't get to see the scroll indicator on the right side of the scrollable div.
You can see the problem when refreshing the page, sometimes the scroll indicator is visible and sometimes it is not.
Here is a small example, to view on an iPad/Safari: http://www.roidesrois.be/new_site/div_scroll.html
The code used should be correct. Before the update I never saw this problem before.
Here is an example from somebody else. http://www.quirksmode.org/css/css2/overflowscrolling.html
I see the exact same problem there too.
When using Chrome or Mercury on an iPad I don't see this problem, only in Safari.
Can someone please confirm this problem or maybe has a solution for this?
Is this a bug in Safari that needs to be solved?
Thnx in advance,
Kind regards.
Lester.

Hello to both of you.
Don't know if this will clarify or mudle the issue but in the same platform context I have a similar issue. Don't know if you are familiar with the LaPresse App (go to AppStore and download it: it is free) but it has vertical text that begins mostly offscreen (just a small portion is visible), which you can swipe upwards and eventually beyond the top, without the tablet page height ever resizing at any moment. It behaves very similarly to an Adobe Premiere title starting off-screen at the bottom, then rolling upwards (e.g. as you would swipe, on the table), and ending off-screen over the top. That's what I'm trying to reproduce using Muse and cannot achieve. As soon as I move the text below the defined page size, Muse automatically expands that page size to accomodate the new text position. I thought of turning off vertical scrolling in the Page properties to force a static page height but the scrolling options in Tablet layout are disabled (by the way: why is that?)

IOS 5.1 Bug Found!

Just updated to ios 5.1 on an iPhone 3GS and found a bug, when removing apps from folders, the second to the last app removed will crash the springboard, and respring... why!? im not sure why but is it comon for iphones to respring? even when they are not jailbroken? ive done a clean restore from ios 5.0.1 to ios 5.1 there should be nothing there to cause a springboard restart.. right? or is this a way of the iphone protecting itself? (like safe mode for example) but thats not fair for me, what of i was in the middle of a serious situation and my iPhone crashes into a respring? im trying to record a number, or a note, or even make a phone call, will i have an issue with resprings all the time or is this a once in a lifetime thing? im actually concerned. tho absolutlly thankfull for the battery fix, it has proved its self worthy. please let me know what you think, will apple release a fix for the crash?

Hi there,
I can't seem to recreate this issue myself, but please report it to Apple here: apple.com/feedback, they are always on the lookout for bugs which they can fix.
Remember to include a detailed description of the error, including a step by step process on how to recreate.
If you have any other questions, do ask, if not, have a great day,

IOS 5.1 bug or new iPad (3) faulty?

Hi everyone,
I just got new iPad (iPad 3rd generation and iOS5.1) and this is my first iPad ever. I was reading Apple iOS 5 manual (downloaded from Apple support site).
Practicing while reading ... when I reached to this point: the manual says double tap on Home button, multitasking bar shows up, flip to the left to see music controls, also Screen Orientation Lock on far left.
I did that, also got music controls, but on the far left, it was a volume control button, clicked on that button, it showed a speaker crossed out... please see acttached picture.
2 problems here:
1. It's not Screen Orientation Lock on far left of multitasking bar, it's a Volume control button.
2. click on that button will show a speaker crossed out ... but nothing happened, screen not locked, volume not muted.
Picture attached is screen capture (Press Wake/Sleep + Home button at the same time), upper part shows the manual that I was reading, bottom part is the multitasking bar.
Is that a bug of the iOS 5.1 or iPad unit fault? Please let me know so that I can return it right away?
Thanks.
NghNg.

There nothing wrong with your iPad, and it is not a bug. You can switch the function of that control and the side switch in Settings > General > Use Side Switch to. Whatever you set the side switch to, the control picks up the other.
