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.

HT5295 How do I import an opml file into the iOS podcast app?

I have been using Instacast and would like to import my large podcast list into the IOS Podcast app. How do I do it? I'm using a first generation iPad.

I put the files on my Hard Rive, but it still will not open the files. Do I need to go the website where I originally obtained the files. I dragged them to my desktop, but I am still doing something wrong. I appreciate your advice.

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?

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

Why "Download Error. Tap to Retry." only Occurs in iOS Podcast app?

Hi,
I've recently discovered problems downloading my podcast using the 'Podcasts' app in iOS. I consistently get the same error. That is, "Download error. Tap to Retry". The podcast feed I give to iTunes is generated by a WordPress plugged-in named 'podPress'. The feed is good from iTunes software on PCs running Windows, or OSX, across various versions. Instant play works, and subscription downloads work, but it doesn't work in the Podcast app in iOS devices (at least versions 7 and 8.)
The only thing I can imagine is an XML formatting issue, but I don't know where to looks.
Thanks for any help.
Here is my feed source: http://www.internationalcsi.com/blogs/sccclub/feed/podcast/

I am not sure if this is related, but when I use the 'Feed Validator' linked to from the WordPress plug-in 'podPress', then I get one warning about a self reference. I cannot verify whether this is related to my problem, nor can I figure out how to resolve the warning.
I noticed that two other people have 'ticked' the option "I have this question too." Maybe one of you has tried this, with the same or different results?
Here is a link to the 'Feed Validator' using my feed:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsccclub.org%2Ffeed%2Fpodcast
...and, before you ask, Yes; that is the absolute path to the link referred to in the warning message, and consequently the reason I can't figure out has to resolve the message.
Try your feeds, and see if you get similar results. Thanks.

Why aren't NPR podcasts playing properly in the iOS podcast app?

i've been listening to 4 NPR podcasts (fresh air, planet money, pop culture happy hour, and world story of the day) for several years. for the past week+, these podcasts have consistently had problems when i've tried to play them in apple's podcast app. when i hit play, the podcast usually plays for 5-15 seconds and then there's a little 'whEErP!' noise as if reel of film or cassette tape has snapped. the podcast app indicates that time is still elapsing in the podcast, but everything is silent.
any tips? this has never happened to me before, and obviously it seems pertinent that it's happened with all 4 of the NPR podcasts, but no others.

OK, Bhazel, I think I just found what I was looking for, and I tried it and it worked. check out this discussion

Re: Podcasts App - No sync with iTunes??
Oct 7, 2012 1:10 AM (in response to luckman212)
I also had a lot of podcasts in my Mac's Itunes library, but none of them appeared in my iPhone's podcasts app.
Here's what worked for me:
1- Uncheck all podcasts in Mac's iTunes (under devices > iphone > podcasts)
2- Syncronize (That should mean deleting all podcasts from the iPhone)
3- Uninstall Podcasts app from iPhone
4- Reinstall Podcasts app
5- Re-Check podcasts to syncronize in iTunes
6- Sync
7- It worked for me!
Hope that helps!

HT5295 Has the "get more episodes" link gone away with the new ios podcast app? If I want another episode of a podcast, I have to exit the app and go to itunes and search for the show and episode?

Do I really need to navigate out of the app to simply download a new or different episode in the Podcast app? Was a simple one touch before, but maybe I am missing something.

Nevermind, I realize you must the have subscription button (in settings) turned to 'on' in order to manage/DL episodes.

HT2731 New iOS causing apps problem

When I'm upload updates for apps I keep getting a message about another country I was in 2 years ago use that countries I have changes my address to the new country I'm in and since the new iOS was downloaded there was no problem . How do I correct this situation? At the moment I cannot download any apps!!!

Newstand really isn't an app - it's a folder to contain select apps (which is why you can't move Newstand into another folder). It works fine for what Apple wants it to do... their search would naturally take you to iTunes, because that's where the apps that go into Newstand can be found.
True. I've noticed magazines now appear in the App Store along with all the other Apps. I think it would have been better if Apple made Newsstand more like Zinio i.e. an App where you can search for, read & download magazines. Seems a bit if a cop-out to just lump it in with all the other Apps, especially when trying to search for titles. For example I was looking for a photography magazine. If you do a search for 'photography' you get a load of photography Apps come up. Scroll through half a dozen pages & you might stumble across a photography magazine ..... but not the one you are after. In Zino you can browse magazines by category > photography and find what you are looking for in no time. If I could delete Newsstand (as well as about 6 of the other useless iOS Apps that can't be removed ) I would.

Post IOS 6 App Problems

Is anyone else having problems with apps after the ios6 install? Many of mine just close when i try to use them.

No problems here.
I would try a hard reset (hold home+power for about ten seconds until the phone reboots, ignore the slide to turn off slider if you get one).
If that fails, try connecting to iTunes and performing a software restore.

TS1702 iOS 6 app problem

Since installing iOS 6 in my iPhone 4S, nothing really works. All of my apps either don't launch at all or unexpectedly quit within a minute, even the native apps of the iOS. Any ideas?

Restored my iPhone from a backup. Now everything seems ok.

Streaming iOS Podcast audio to Apple TV

When streaming audio from the iOS Podcast app to Apple TV, I lose the ability to adjust the volume of the playback on my (6.0) iPhone 4. This only happens with the Podcast app. I can stream audio from Downcast, Safari, and the Music app to Apple TV and adjust the playback volume on my iPhone.
I also have an Airport Express. The iOS Podcast app, along with all the other apps mentioned above, work as it should with Airport Express.
iOS Podcast seems to have a problem with Apple TV.

I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that video streaming is limited currently to the Videos app; iirc, they're still working through rights and other issues with other potential users.
Don't have ATV and am currently feeding our tv using component AV cables, so don't pay a lot of attention to these issues.
Out of curiosity, though, why would you pick this forum instead of the AirPlay one to be looking around and posting in?

Artwork showing in Podcast App but not iTunes Store

I updated my podcast art recently as I've had a site redesign, and typically now, the podcast artwork is not showing up in the iTunes Store. What's peculiar however is that if I subscribe to one of the podcasts in the iOS Podcast App, the artwork shows up no problem. This leads me to believe that the feeds are working fine, therefore I can't see the issue?
The affected feeds are http://dyhamb.com/rss_itunes.php, /rss_too.php, /rss_tcr.php and /rss_asf.php. Anybody have any ideas?

I checked the first URL - you have an image correctly referenced in the feed and present on the server. The Store can sometimes be quite slow to show images so I'm afraid it's just a question of waiting.

Why does search in the iTunes Store on the Mac produce different results than in the new Podcaster app?

If I search in the iTunes Store (in iTunes) on my Mac for this word:
msworld
I get two Podcasts I can subscribe to.
If I do the same search in the new Podcaster IOS app, I get no matching items as a result.
Does anyone know why or how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Alan

Problem solved.
It's the new Apple IOS Podcasts app, just released June 26, 2012.
It works fine, and search above works.

Podcasts app not refreshing new content?

Hi, my podcasts app is not refreshing new content for last 4 days, is anyone else facing the same issue?

Hello there, ikgandhi.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to review for issues with the Podcasts app for iOS:
Podcasts app for iOS: Managing subscriptions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6190
Default settings: From your Home screen, tap Settings and then Podcasts. These settings are shared by all of your podcast subscriptions. These are known as default podcast settings.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically if your iOS device is connected to Wi-Fi.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is turned on, episodes will delete 24 hours after you finish playing them.
Use Cellular Data: If your iOS device has a cellular connection, you can allow downloads to use cellular data when Wi-Fi isn't available. This is off by default. Downloads using cellular data are limited to 100MB per episode. If an episode is larger than that, it won't start downloading until you're connected to Wi-Fi.
Podcast-specific settings: The second place you'll find subscription settings is within the Podcasts app. Tap a podcast subscription under My Podcasts and pull down with one finger to reveal the settings buttons. These settings are unique to each subscription. If you don't change anything here, the podcast subscription will just use the default settings. If you do make changes to a specific subscription’s settings, they'll only apply to that podcast.
Play: This setting lets you change the order in which a subscription plays. If you're listening to a news style podcast, you may want to set this to play the new episodes first. If the series is more episodic, you may prefer to play oldest to newest.
Sort Order: This changes the sort order of episodes that appear for a podcast (not its playback order).
Subscribed: When this is on, new episodes of this podcast will be marked as unplayed as they become available.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is on, episodes will be deleted 24 hours after you finish playing them unless you've marked them as Saved.
Inactive subscriptions
If you do not play or access a subscription within 15 days, your subscription to that podcast will go inactive and you will no longer receive updates to it. As soon as you access the subscription again it will refresh.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

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
