IPhone (Deletion of Podcasts) WHEN!?

My phone is full of podcasts.
I wish to delete them to make room for some music.
When will ITunes allow me to selectively do this?

I found that feature "stroke and delete" also by chance. It also works on SMS and email in Inbox, need not use the EDIT.
But I want to know what happens to the podcast file by "stroking and Deleting" right on the phone. And also, I downloaded about 180 podcasts (on top of the hundreds of songs and photos) and iphone is down to 1.8 gb . I've noticed that while I'm playing music, the music more often than not stops while I'm on another application like Safari or Map (on wifi)> and Safari and Map are now slower. I've already updated phone.
Does the 180 podcasts have anything to do with the bogging down or it's the update?
Thanks

I deleted some podcasts when I synced with itunes on my computer. They no longer show up on the itunes sync when connected, but are still present on my ipod. How do I delete them from my ipod?

Try swiping your finger across the podcast then tap Delete.

Itunes deletes all podcasts when I sync

I was manually managing my podcasts, but when I synce my ipod, all of my podcasts are deleted, and when I try to copy them back manually, some of them won't copy. No error messages, they just don't go. I can get the problem podcasts on by letting itunes automatically sync my podcasts, but I do not want itunes to handle the sync automatically. The first 3 days after installing itunes and transferring my library to the new pc, everything was fine, then itunes started deltimg my podcasts. After a 4 days of that, it stopped letting me manually copy podcasts to the ipod (through itunes).

One thing to check, look at your podcast default options and make sure they are set to keep all the episodes.

You could also try control-A, then right-click and choose "Do Not Auto Delete"

IPhone Deletes eMail message when moving to Draft Folder

Hi, here's a nice bug.
I repled to a message, but it failed to send it so it wnet into the Outbox automatically. I came back later and decided to move it to the draft folder. "Poof", the message is instead deleted. Nice feature, Apple.
Anyone know where to submit bugs - is that the same place you submit suggestions 4 improvement?

I called apple about this bug a few weeks ago. It is an error with any POP email accounts. You cannot move emails between folders, they dissapear. They are working on the problem they told me.

When I delete a podcast from one of my devices it deletes that podcast and all of its episodes from my iPhone 5/iPhone 4 (used as an iPod) and from my MacBook automatically. Is there a way to delete a podcast from one device?

I would like to delete a podcast and its episodes from one device without it being deleted simultaneously from all of my devices. I have been having problems with podcasts for months.
Another problem with podcasts I'm having is once I sync some of the podcasts from my computer to my iPhone 5, they are not present on my iPhone. I can find them in spotlight on the iPhone 5 but when I click on them to play them it opens up the podcasts app but then does nothing. When I have iTunes open even iTunes show that they are present "On this Phone" but I have no way to play them. I took my devices to the geinus bar and the support technician was baffled.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think many of us need a Defense Against the Podcasts App professor.
Have you looked at this Apple support page?

When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud.

When I delete a podcast in iTunes it is still on iPhone after sync; just in the cloud (it has a close and download icon). All I want to do is delete it. I Now I have to delete in manually from all devices. I have not listened to it either.
Also, I cannot use the selling to delete played podcasts, because I want to keep some of them.
I have IOS 8.1, iTunes 12.0.. and OSX 10.10.1. iPhones 4,5 and 6 and iPad Air 2
In the good old days, you deleted in iTunes and the next time you synced it, it was removed from the iPhone, iPods and iPads. Now, I have to update them all.
Note: Subscription takes place on my Mac, not the other devices.
Am I missing something, because this is a real pain?
Thanks
Tony..

You aren't mssing anything. As far as I am aware, this is simply the process that you need to take to remove them.

BUG: Deleted podcasts on iPhone, get re-copied when doing Sync...

on the iPhone, its possible to delete podcasts if you're done listening/viewing them...
however, iTunes will continue uploading the same podcast, over and over again until you delete it in iTunes...
W-T-F !!
*Apple sox @ Sync*

I don't believe that this is a bug but rather a design choice. You can only change syncing options from iTunes. However, being able to delete a podcast or movie from your Touch/iPhone allows you to free up space to add other things using from the iTunes Store when you are away from your computer. I think this is the way it was intended to work.
Whether or not you agree with the decision is another matter. Submit your feedback to Apple:

Best of luck.

How do I delete a podcast icon from my iphone?

I'm somewhat Mac and iphone saavy and have looked all over the Net and these forums for an answer. No dice! Let's see what you guys got: I have deleted some podcasts from iTunes that I don't want to see anymore and the icon has stayed on my iphone. They don't show up anywhere in iTunes, but insist on hanging around in the podcast list on my phone. How do I get rid of these??? There is no swipe ability since there are no podcast recordings, just the icons.

Open your podcast app and swipe down on the screen, it will expose the search box and the edit button.

image-3750165159.jpgTap the edit button and an x appears at the upper left of each podcast icon. Tap the x, and the podcast disappears.

When you're finished editing, tap the done button.

How do I delete songs & podcast from iPhone using iTunes on new MacBook Pro

I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro after years of using PC.
First thing I have to say is that I love it. I've had a couple of problems here-and-there but these have been teething issues which these discussion boards have mostly helped me resolve... I have been unable to resolve this one issue though which I was hoping that someone could help me with....
I have plugged my iPhone into my new Mac and let it appear in iTunes but when I attempt to delete old songs or podcasts from the iPhone it does not let me delete them... I've tried holding control and clicking on the items- hoping that delete would be an option, but it isn't. Also I've notice that delete is not one of my options in the edit tab at the top of iTunes.
I understand that I can delete individual podcasts and albums/songs through the iPhone itself by swiping right and selecting delete but when I do this for All individual episodes of a podcast then the main header for the "show" still remains...
Would love if someone could help me with this- need to be able to manage the songs and podcast on my iPhone.
Thankyou for your time.

"Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
" Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
"And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
I understand completely.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.

I was setting up an iCloud account. I set it up and the wanted to delete it. When I did that, I inadvertently deleted all my contacts off my iPhone. I don't think there was any backup. How do I get my contacts back?

Hi. I was setting up an iCloud account on my son's iPhone. We set up the account, but then decided to delete it. When we did, we accidentally deleted all the contacts from his iPhone. There was no backup done yet. I tried backing up his contacts in verizon backup, but that didn't work. Can anyone help p,was. He lost hundreds of contacts

If you deleted the account by going to Settings>icloud, scrolled to bottom of page and tapped Delete Account, then all you have to do is go to the same page an sign in using the same ID; be sure Contacts is turned on.

I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts. All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window". But what if you have no device window?

Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
I thought the libraries were the same.

How can I delete a podcast thats only on my iPhone, not synced from iTunes.

I have two podcast episodes that will not delete from my iPhone. They are from a show that I update (by syncing) everyday and appear on the iPhone (since October) but will not erase or appear on iTunes. Can I delete them straight from the iPhone or do I need to connect it with iTunes to delete? It is more of a nuisance than anything else. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can delete from iphone:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
It is covered in the manual.
Page 172:
"Delete a podcast: In the Podcasts list in iPod, swipe left or right over the podcast, then
tap Delete. "

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

Have you seen this?
Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.
