IPad podcasts " get more episodes" function gone ?

Hi all,
Not sure if I have missed something but after the ios5 update(?) on my ipad2 podcast support / functionality seems to be reduced.
- the " get more episodes " option has disappeared for each podcast
- " podcast" media type has been moved to the more section, with no option to customize.
The only way to get additional podcasts seems to be individually via iTunes and manually search for each podcast. If this is the case then this process for me is a significant step backwards.
Hopefully I am missing something.
Ps. Is there anyway to roll back to an old firmware. (4.3.3 ?), can it still be downloaded.
Thanks
Mathew

I really would like to go back to older version instead of os5. They have ****** up my podcasts and i am ******. when I tap on the podcast playlist it doesn't play.
Then when I get it to play by first starting the podcast in another apt then coming back into the apple app, the podcasts don't play consecutively. WHAT KIND OF A **** IS THAT!!!
Was it because Steve Job passed away why apple is all ****** up now?
Soon I'll be gettin rid of this piece of **** and buy a Galaxy tablet!

  • Get more episodes is gone in iOS 5

    A large part of what I use my iPad for is listening to podcasts. One important part of this has been the "Get more episodes" that was present in iOS 4 that would allow me to...get more episodes...without having to hunt down the podcast all over again in the iTunes store.
    I'm hoping that this feature has just been moved, and not simply removed. If so, I'd like to request that it be brought back. This makes my iPad less useful than it was before. It makes it more important that I have a computer to plug this into, not less. The cord is not cut.

    First, sorry to say and I know that I am in the minority but I don't listed to music on the iPod. I use I-Heart-Radio to listen to talk radio, watch videos, and listen to podcasts.
    This is also a feature that I have used quite a bit and while I understand that IF the podcast has been subscribed to, and IF you are within range and connected to your wireless network, and IF the iPad is plugged in, and finally IF you sync the iPad, you can update your subscriptions.
    Wouldn't it be so much nicer if the "More" button as still there?
    I love my iPad, I mean really love it! I am a converted PC user and I just can't get enough of it. I would really like to know from the Apple higher ups why items like this AND SIRI were left out of the iPad revision of IOS 5? I just can't buy the "processing power" reason.
    Enough of this, please bring back the "More" button for podcasts.
    Thanks

  • Podcast 'get more episodes' no longer works

    Hi,
    I download podcasts directly to my iPhone, however I have noticed in the last week Apple has made this harder.
    It used to be that if you pressed 'get more episodes' you would get a list of podcast episodes which you could then download. Underneath this seemed to do the following:
    1) iPod application displayed 'get more episodes'
    2) once link pressed, Safari opens goes to a certain link that then redirects to
    3) iTunes, which then opens listing the podcasts, allowing you to download
    Now it seems to do the following;
    1) iPod application displayed 'get more episodes'
    2) once link pressed, Safari opens goes to a certain link that displays an iTunes preview window, listing the podcast episodes in HTML form, which you cannot play or download.
    So now, I have to go to the iTunes app on the iPhone, search for the podcast, select it, see the episode list, and then download it there.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Know if it firmware version specific?
    I have old 2.2
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem and is extremely irratating

  • 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.

  • Why has "get more episodes" disappeared from the Music App in iOS5

    Since I upgrade to iOS5 I have noticed 2 "downsides" to the "iPod" replacement app "Music".
    Firstly the "get more episodes" has disappearwed from the podcast pages as has the symbols as to which track is playing or is unplayed.
    Apple please may we have these facilities back?
    Rgds, Robin

    I don't care for the changes to "music", formerly "ipod", app either.  Even the icon color is a bit much compared to the old ipod icon. 
    I really miss the "get more episodes" and hope it will be back soon.  It is a good feature, and one I used every day.
    The format is harder to work with.
    If one podcast is playing or loaded and paused, I don't seem to be able to activate a different podcast. 
    All but one or two of the podcast icons just show music note instead of podcast picture.  
    Button to switch back to list of podcast episodes seems to be gone as well. 
    Missing the played/unplayed as well.
    There is no 30 second replay button on the broadcast as far as I can tell.
    I seem to be getting all episodes listed on a podcast page, but not all of them are even loaded.
    IOS5 didn't really improve the podcast format/experience, but has made it less user-friendly. IMO

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • HT4291 I just bought a used iPod touch that was held out as 2d generation.  Turns out it is not.  My problem is that I cannot reach the iStore or get more episodes for my podcasts when I am using wifi.  Any help for a technical novice?

    I purchased a used iPod touch advertised as 2d generation.  I later found that it is first generation.  I can use the device for my limited purposes but only when connected to my desktop.  For some reason that I can't figure out, I am unable to download "more episodes" for my podcasts or otherwise connect to the iStore when using my wifi connection.  Can anyone provide a fix for this problem. Note that my technical skill level is about 3 on a scale of 10.

    Does Safari work?
    Does the iPod see the networks?

  • I have an IPAD2 that I upgraded to IOS 5.  There is no option to get newer episodes of podcasts from my Ipad.  Why the feature degredation ??

    I used to be able to sync my podcasts to my Ipad2 in the previous release of the OS via the "Get More Episodes option",  That option is not in the current os or if it is its not easily found.
    Why do I have to sync my subscribed podcasts via my PC for this supposedly syncless os ?
    Why was this feature removed?
    The whole purpose of me buying an Ipad was so I wouldn't have to keep things in sync via a PC.  The previous version of the OS did an excellent job of that.  Now I have to connect at least 1 time a week to keep up.
    This is a clear feature degridation and not a very good one, and I'm  NOT HAPPY AT ALL about this.  I'm actually glad my Ipod is generation 2 because at least its still useful on the previous OS. 
    I hope you fix this bug in an upcomming release. 

    I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

    Apple's iPhone Warranty is referring to hardware modifications, because it is just a hardware warranty. It explicitly denies covering software, even to the point of saying even the iPhone OS is not covered by any warranty.
    When you update the iPhone software to 1.1.1 or later you'll see this message
    "Apple has discovered that some of the unauthorized unlocking programs available on the Internet may cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software.

  • How do I get more than 3 episodes to display in my podcast feed?

    Hi there!
    I'm having trouble displaying more than 3 episodes in my iTunes podcast feed. It seems like every time I add a new one, the 4th one drops off. How can I fix this?
    Podcast: Go Fire Yourself
    Feedburner feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/gofireyourself
    Wordpress feed: http://www.gofireyourself.com/feed/
    Thanks so much in advance!!
    Laurel

    In common with many podcast creation facilities, WordPress limits the number of episodes in the feed, removing older ones to an archive page and off the feed once the limit is reached. In your case it is limiting it to ten - there are ten episodes in the feed. However only four of them have playable media. iTunes does not show episodes which have no playable media, and so is showing only the four episodes when subscribing.
    This is what happens when you mix podcast and weblog episodes - ones with and without playable media. There is presumably a setting in WordPress where you can increase the number of episodes shown, but of course you will still find fewer episodes in iTunes because of this.

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program
