Is the podcasts app independent of podcasts in iTunes?

If I am using the Apple podcasts app on my iPhone, can I delete my subscriptions and podcasts in iTunes if I don't need access to them from my computer?

Yes.

Have you updated iTunes on the computer? If you updated your iPod! but not iTunes, you will have communication errors.
Have you backed up and updated your iPod? You should back up regularly. Update to keep your device working well with current iTunes.
Once you have iTunes working well on the computer and have a backup saved (find your back up time and date on your iPod in settings, or on the computer under the iTunes pull-down menu, under "Preferences", choose the Devices tab and look in the box for your backup.
Next option...
Restore your iPod from backup

It didn't show up in my music app for several hours. Don't know why... But it's there.
I can now access and add stations through the iTunes Store to play through music app icon.

When I open the Music app, I can't access iTunes Radio.

When I open the Music app, iTunes Radio doesn't work for me. When I open it the first time it showed the icon but the it disappeared. Does anyone know what this happens and how to fix it?

You'll want to contact Apple Support by phone to have them walk you through the process of getting this older account cleaned up and your issue resolved.

As explained , I have also visited the auth. Service station in Bangalore, they were not able to resolve the iTunes access issue.

Trying to add old podcast files to the podcast in iTunes.

Just installed iTunes 8, and added the RSS link for a podcast. It downloaded the latest 20 episodes, but on the site you can download a lot more, going back years. So I've done that. So, how do I now manually add the files I downloaded to iTunes so they're grouped together with the automatically downloaded files via iTunes?

I just downloaded and ran the XSkeyUpdater which successfully fixed the XsKey so I can now launch Logic 7.

I can not find the podcast on itunes?

We resibmitted this same aproved podcast to upload an image over a week ago but still no response, any way to follow up?
This is our link but can't find it on iTunes. Has
it been removed if so why is this link still available?

If your podcast has been submitted and approved you don't need to submit it again when you make a change, you just reupload the feed - that's all you need to do.
However your image URL is not valid because it has a space in it: spaces are not allowed in a URL and you need to remove them or replace them with a hyphen or underscore.
Your media file also has spaces in the filename, but here the feed has correctly substituted the code %20 for each space so it works: however you should stop putting spaces in your filenames, it's asking for trouble.
Other than the image URL the feed is OK. I can't find it by searching on the title - you say it was approved: you should have received an email giving you the URL of the Store page: do you have this and does it produce any result? Are you sure it has actually been approved? - this can take several weeks and I see your first episode is dated only a week ago.

When i download a podcast on my iPhone, it doesn't sync the podcast to iTunes on my computer. Any Ideas?

it used to work, but has decided to not work anymore

Why when I download a song on my ipad it doesn't transfer to my iphone
On the iPad and iPhone tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched ON under Automatic Downloads.
It didn't even show up on the desktop
iOS devices (iPhone and iPad's) do not mount on the Desktop but they should show up under Devices left side of the iTunes window when connected to your Mac.
Don't sync using both iCloud and iTunes. You'll end up with duplicates of everything.

Hello Bill1125
You should have received a prompt for the download when opening the app store. The article below will explain further on how to get those apps.

If I buy an iPhone in China will I be able to use the UK app store with my UK iTunes account?

I am working/living in China, and I want to buy a new iPhone. A friend of mine bought a Windows 8 phone and he discovered that the phones, apparantly all of them (across all brands) are region locked, app store wise, to China. So he can't download apps like Skype for example. I want a new phone but I'm worried that if I buy an iPhone here in China I won't be able to access my countries store. I have an old iPhone but it was from the UK so I know I can access the UK store in China. But the issue is, is that will the Chinese sold iPhone only access their own store and no others like the Chinese sold Windows 8 phones?

Hello Rick19992000,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Look at your question I can say that yes you can change stores. The following article will walk you through it. I also highlighted the specific portion for you.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
One last bit of advice is to check to make sure that certain features are going to be present when buying from a different region. You can compare by going to the different regions at the Apple Choose your Region Page

HT5295 How do I remove podcasts I no longer want on the Podcast app?

I have unsubscribed and deleted the individual episodes but the icon for the podcast still remains on the list in the Podcast app.
How can I eliminate the culprit completely?
Thanks

I have the same problem. I tried deleting the podcasts from itunes on my macbook pro, and the software on both my laptop and iphone are up to date, but the podcasts still show in my podcast app with no episodes listed in them.

How do I hide old podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and What's Up with the New Podcast Pane?

FIrst of all, I'm having fits with this "new" way of managing podcasts.
For years, I have managed the podcasts on my iPod (and now my iPhone 5) by manually syncing the device with my subscribed podcasts in iTunes. I have iTunes set to download the most recent episode of each of my podcasts and to keep all episodes until I delete them. Some podcasts I listen to or view only my MacBook Pro and I don't sync these to my iPhone. This has worked fine for years.
I moved to Apple's dedicated Podcasting app when I purchased my iPhone 5 earlier this year, but I maintained the manual syncing as I had done, using the app only to play the podcasts, not to subscribe to or download them.
I upgraded my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 to iOS 7 on launch day and downloaded iTunes 11.1 to my MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.8.5. The iOS upgrades went flawlessly for both of my devices, but iTunes has been a problem. It was sluggish when I first opened it, with lots of spinning beach balls. When I opened it for the first time, I went to the Podcast section and to my list of podcasts. They all now had "Subscribe" buttons by each of them (I was already subscribed to the podcasts in iTunes before the update). I assumed that I had to click the buttons to activate subscriptions in iTunes, but low and behold I discovered that it subscribed my iPhone 5's podcast app to ALL of the podcasts in my list (even ones that I don't put on the iPhone). It also started DOWNLOADING all of the episodes of these podcasts to my iPhone which, had I let it continue, would have eaten all of my bandwidth on Verizon for the month (and then some), plus the iPhone would have been filled up long before it could finish downloading the episodes.
I managed to get the iPhone's Podcast app to stop downloading these episodes, then I manually deleted all of the podcasts that didn't belong on the iPhone. I then had to go through all of the podcasts in the app and click a yellow box that said they hadn't been updated and wouldn't resum updating until I clicked the box.
Then I went back to iTunes 11.1, where I discovered that ALL the podcast episodes for my subscriptions that are still available for download in their feeds were now listed (2,000+ episodes), with previously listened-to episodes now showing with a cloud download icon next to them. Even more frustrating, I can't delete these from iTunes even though I've already listened to them and, even more frustratingly, the "Subscribe" button remains by each podcast in the list.
All I want to do is remove these previously-listened to podcasts from my lists, remove the subscribe buttons (since I'm already subscribed in iTunes), and continue to manually sync my iPhone's podcasts with iTunes as before. What do I have to do to make this happen? And if these are new "features" of the new iTunes, please share with your team that, while there are many who update wirelessly over their cell carrier's bandwidth, others of us don't have the capability (or desire) to do things this way and we want to switch this off and return to the "old" way of doing things.
Any ideas on how to fix iTunes 11.1 to return to the old way of doing things would be greatly appreciated!

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.

How do you submit a podcast to iTunes? The instruction page is outdated

I spent 8 hours today trying to figure out how to submit my podcast to iTunes. The PODCASTING AND ITUNES: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION page has outdated information. For instance where it says under TESTING YOUR FEED to select "Subscribe to Podcast" in the Advanced menu. There is no option in the new 7.0 iTunes matching this. Later, under SUBMITTING YOUR PODCAST TO ITUNES it says under the "Music Store" category to click on podcasts, but once again there is no option for podcasts there. If somebody can explain how to submit a podcast to iTunes, it would be so much appreciated. Our podcast is new, but our radio show has been around for a long time. The link to our rss feed has been tested and it works. It is and http://www.rnnradio.com/rss2.aspx
Please help!

The following short cuts shoul help you make iTunes more like it used to.
ALT shows the menu bar temporarily
CTRL+B show/hide menu bar
CTRL+S show/hide side bar
CTRL+/ show/hide status bar
To make search more like it was, click on magnifying glass in search bar and uncheck "search entire library"
