Is there a way to keep podcasts from losing their place after syncing?

I subscribe to a few podcasts on my MBP. A couple of times a week I sync through iTunes and drag a few over (manually) to my iPhone. After the sync, the existing podcasts on my iPhone lose their place and in fact show that they have not been played. I suspect that it is picking up this status from the unlistened/unviewed podcasts sitting in iTunes.
Is there a setting or a best practice to avoid this that I am not aware of?

I have seen this question several times before and remain quite bemused by the question, as my Podcasts have always remembered where they are before, during and after syncing.
The only thing I can think of is that I do not do the 'drag and drop' thing ever and rely on only syncing unplayed Podcasts,

  • When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?

  • IPads turn on when plugged in to power. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

    I am a tech for a school district. We have iPads in carts and when they are plugged in they automatically turn on. This keeps them on the wireless when not in use which uses up our wireless ports. Is there a way to keep them from turning on when plugged in?

    This keeps them on the wireless when not in use which uses up our wireless ports.
    Have you looked into adding more ports to your configuration.  Isn't the number of ports a configuration option?

  • Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab when clicking on a link?

    When one clicks on a link on a page in Safari a new tab is opened. This is fine if the link is to a different site. However, it is annoying when navigating through the pages of a single site such as is required, for example, in on-line banking. Firefox seems to be smarter in this regard, opening a tew tab in the former case but not in the latter. Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab each time?

    Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
    There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import photos from Ipod which were earlier synced from Itunes? If there isn't any such feature on itunes then please refer to any apps/softwares that can do the job...

    No.
    You can e-mail them to yourself.

  • Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.

  • HT3228 I don't see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone4, is there a way to keep it from the server so that I can check emails from multiple devices?.

    I'm using IPhone 4 to check emails.  Is there a way on the IPhone to setup that the messages would still be on the server so that when I check on my laptops the messages are still there.  I can do this setup for multiple laptops but don't know how I can do it for the IPhone.
    I got help and setup all the things they told me but the problem is that I did not see the "Delete from server" option under Incoming Settings on my IPhone 4 to select.  Is there anything else that I am missing?  Thanks

    The default for IMAP is that it does NOT delete the email from the server when it pushes the email to a device.  Only if you tell a device to tell the server to delete the email, will it actually delete from the server.

  • HT1689 I don't want to download music on my iPad. Is there a way to keep that from happening?

    It can and it will. You will have to sync with iTunes again but this time you will want to uncheck the radio button for Autofill and then select the playlist, albums, artists or whatever you use in iTunes and the sync again.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes, select your iPad on the left side, click on the Music Tab on the right at the top, uncheck the Autofill button, select your music, and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • Is there a way to keep Siri from giving home address?

    I discovered that Siri will give my home address when the home button is pressed when locked. How can you keep that from happening if it's lost or stolen?

  • Is there another way to delete photos from ipad 2, other than sync. i want to delete one or two photos every now and then.

    when sync, you lose all photos.. and have to start over.   i am using picasa to get my photos.. i noticed when you take a pic from the ipad 2, you can delete
    any photo you want.. i would think that it should be the same no matter how you put photos on the ipad... has any one found a solution to this.. 
    I will keep try different ways.. 

    You only lose photos when you sync, if you don't have the photos you want to keep on your iPad checked in Photos in iTunes.  And no, the only pictures you can delete directly from iPad are those you took with iPad.  All other pictures are managed through iTunes.

  • Is there a way to keep the apps on my Ipod after upgrading to IOS 5?

    I plugged my Ipod touch (4th generation) into my mac and itunes prompted me to upgrade to IOS 5 (which I would like to do).  However, it says that I'll lose all my apps...
    Is there are way to restore these apps after the IOS 5 has been downloaded/installed?  I don't want to go ahead with this process if I have to buy all the apps (with all the information I've stored in them) again!
    thanks in advance for the help!

    - Transfer the app to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also update the iPod.

  • Is there a way to keep apps from running in the background?

    I just updated to an Iphone 6, with the latest version of IOS.  It's a great product, but for me there is one annoyance.  There are times when my memory gets low.  I find out that it's the apps that are running in the background.  I personally don't use this.  All it does is hog memory.  Then, to close the apps, you have to close each one individually.  I forgot how many apps I have open, I'm of the mindset that when I close the app, that it's "really" closed, not still running in the background.  It would be nice if there was a way to disable this function.  It doesn't seem to serve a purpose for me in the way I use the Iphone.  I just "cleaned up my list of "behind the scenes apps" and I had about 20.  It gets frustrating to have to go to each one to close it.  Any comments or suggestions?

    Some things that might help:
    1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
    http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
    2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
    - Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
    - Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
    - Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
    Hope some of that helps

  • Is there a way to keep 2 mac and an iPhone in sync?

    AS long as I have owned a Mac (about 20 years) I have had issues getting my multiple machines to be in sync. Now that I have a desktop a laptop and an iPhone, the issue has reached critical mass.
    I know all about iSync and have used it since first introduced, but the problem I keep running up against is this:
    No matter how I set things up it seems that I am unable to freely create calendar and contact events on each of my three devices without one over writing another at some point? The VERY common scenario is that I like to create calendar events on my iPhone, but when I sync, they get wiped out.
    I believe I have all my setting correct and hope that there is something I can learn to figure out what I have been doing wrong all these years.
    Thanks for any and all support.

    Unfortunately, the operating system used on the iPhone (and iPad) will not run the AirPort Utility application.
    If you have the Express configured to operate in Bridge Mode to  "create a wireless network", you should not have to make any changes. I've traveled for years with an Express and have never had to change the configuration.
    If it's an emergency, you may be able to download AirPort Utility on a computer down in the hotel lobby and configure the Express that way. Since you will not be able to configure the Express using wireless, connect an Ethernet cable from the computer to the Express to establish a connection that way for the setup.

  • I have an old 160 GB iPod Classic, when I plug it into my computer to update it, it connects and the immediately disconnects, is there a way to stop this from happening so I can sync it?

    Does anyone have a way of making it not to do this? It will still charge and everyting off that cord. It's just really odd.

    Have you tried this?
