ITunes deletes partly played podcasts from iPhone

When syncing iTunes (9.03) and iPhone 3Gs (3.1.3) I still lose partly played podcasts. I've set it to automatically include the 5 least recent new episodes of selected podcasts.
Partly played podcasts (most assuredly play count of less than 1) are not on the iPhone anymore after sync. I thought that had been changed?

I'm experiencing the same thing...thought I had changed a setting somewhere. Let me know if you find a fix.

ITunes not removing watched podcasts from iPhone

iTunes (7.7.0.43) is no longer removing podcasts from an attached iPhone (2.0) during synchronization, even if they have a play count >= 1, and iTunes is set to synchronize only "unplayed" podcasts. Even setting iTunes to not sync any podcasts doesn't result in any of them being deleted from the iPhone when synchronizing. Synchronizing TV shows ("all unwatched" -- why the inconsistent terminology?) on the other hand work as expected. The only way to get podcasts off the iPhone at the moment appears to be to remove them from iTunes. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hello Carpathianna,
No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

ITunes marks part-played podcasts as played!!

I just got a 5th gen iPod and while the new feature (for me) of remembering where you left off in a podcast and being able to pick up where you left off it very useful, I've also noticed another, annoying change.
I have my iPod preferences set in iTunes to download 'unplayed only'. This worked fine until I got my new iPod. Now, when I sync the iPod with iTunes, all the podcasts I've part-listened to get marked as played and hence wiped off my iPod when I update.
Does anyone know how to fix this without me having to change my settings to 'download checked only' and me having to manually manage my podcast downloads?
Thanks, Nick

I think I found the answer!
(lease let me know if it's not the right place to put it)
I had the same problem where I would download and sync a whole pile of podcasts in itunes, sync using itunes, get all my favourite podcasts ready for my commute, then leave the house only to find that they were unavailable.
After reading the above I tried something that should fix the problem. here's what I did:
1. uninstall the app
2. reinstall the app
3. download and sync podcasts using itunes and phone cable
4. open the fresh install of app
5. selected "don't sync..." from the inital alert box.
6. double checked podcast app settings to make sure that sync was off, it only kept new podcast, and there was no auto downloading or checking
7. checked to see if podcasts were all there and new (they were)
8. turned off wi-fi and checked again to make sure the stupid cloud wasn't there (it wasn't)
9. crossed my fingers that when I leave the house next I could listen to my favourite shows
Hope this works for you guys!
Good luck.

Trying to figure out how to delete podcasts from Iphone

How to delete podcasts from Iphone without internet connection?

Are you trying to delete them from the Podcasts app? Like most other places, you should be able to swipe your finger across the title, as if you were striking it out, then tap delete.
If you can't swipe to delete it, you can delete some content from apps like Music from Settings > General > Usage.

Removing played podcasts from iTouch

Does anyone have any advice on the best way to remove played podcasts from my touch? I have my synch settings set to sych only all unplayed. If I just delete the podcasts, they get added back in because iTunes doesn't see them as having been played. However, iTunes is not automatically deleting the podcasts that have been played from my touch. So now I'm in a situation where I have no space left on my touch because it's filled with podcasts that iTunes refuses to remove.
I'd be very interested in hearing how I can address this problem.
thnx,
Christoph

I had previously tried
Smart Playlist - all podcasts
. podcast is true
Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
. playcount is 0
AND
. playlist is all podcasts
And that didn't work, I guess because the first playlist won't update. After reading your post I thought that it ought to work the other way around if the playcount is being analysed first:
Smart Playlist - anything unheard
. playcount is 0 (this works fine)
Smart Playlist - unheard podcasts
. playlist is anything unheard
But that won't work either. While the first playlist updates fine, the second one never updates and continues to display content that no longer appears in the playlist it is built on. Frustrating. I'm sure there must be a shortcut that hasn't occurred to me yet.

How do I delete my icloud account from Iphone ios 7.

How do I delete my icloud account from Iphone 5 using ios 7. I need reinstall this because my apple ID is linked to a different email now. When I try to delete the account from my iphone it requires a password to authorise this, but the password doesn't work with old email ID. There doesn't seem to be a way of changing the old email ID on my iphone. My new Apple ID works ok on itunes etc. does anybody have a solution? Thanks Russ

If you can't reset password - contact Apple, may be they can help you if it is your account.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. if it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck.

Ever since I updated the operating system, itune doesn't play music on iphone 4. If it plays, it plays only one song and gets stuck. I've tried to reconnect to the computer to see whethere there has been missing portion during the upgrade... but not really. does anyone have the same issue?

What does "gets stuck" mean?
It repeats?
It stops playing?
Have you tried the basics from the manual? Restart. Reset. Restore.

TS3159 Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes. Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again?

Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes. Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again? Please help!

No, I haven't figured it out. And no one from Apple has contacted me to help. Very frustrating. Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
Do you have a 3GS too? Maybe it's something with that phone??

HT1689 I am unable to sync my Ipod touch due to not enough space ? I delet bunch of podcasts from my ipod still not downloading ? help pl.

im unable to sync my ipod touch due to not enough space ? even after i deleted bunch of podcasts from it ? help pl.

- When you deleted them did the requested amount of storage space decrease?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- When you look at the colored bargraph of storage usage on the iPod in iTunes how much is taken up by "other". If greater than about 3/4 GB then restoring from backup usually reduced the "other".

Cannot play songs from iphone or ipad

I'm sorry if this is a repeated question. But suddenly about 95% of my songs on iphone 3gs have turned into grey color and it cannot be played, either from iphone itself or from itunes in laptop under iphone device. It also happened to my ipad. All albums are transferred but they appear to be grey. 5% of the songs are still black and can be played alright. I'm so frustrated!! I did try everything. Please..if anybody can help me. Thank you...
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with itunes 10 that I just downloaded or not

It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

I'm having the same problem, even more:
- Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
- Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
- A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
- Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple - it just works"...
At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

Hi,
Already mentioned on the following post:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/VGA-on-laptop-HDMI-on-TV-needs-connected/m-...
You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
The following list may help:
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_kw=HDMI+To+VGA+COMPONENT+Adaptor+A+V+Digital+Converter
Laptop (VGA) ---- Converter from VGA to HDMI ------ TV
You also need sound, you can buy a converter with sound OR connect sound directly from laptop to TV.

How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

Last night, when I played my playlist songs with iTunes Genius, my iTunes, with one of my playlists selected, and set on "Shuffle On," "Genius Shuffle On, "Genius On," "Match On," and "Play," played selections from all of my songs in my playlist. Today, my iTunes Genius went back to the same problem it was giving me before last night. My iTunes Genius has been playing selections from just a few of my playlist albums. How do I set up my iTunes Genius to play selections from all, not just some, of my songs in my currently playing playlist?

No backup is a huge mistake.

how can i delete an icloud accout from iphone 5 (ios 7.0.4)and insert a new one ???

You'll need to contact the previous owner to get them to remove the account.
There is no way to bypass this security feature. If you can't contact the previous owner you have wasted your money and have a phone you'll never be able to use.
