ITunes Podcast iPhone bugs?

1. Does anyone know how to transfer specific podcast track to iPhone?
2. I think I found a bug in iTunes. I have 4 podcast tracks (#1,2,3,4) the #1 is already played while the rest are not. In the podcast sync setting, the "3 most recent unplayed" will transfer track #2,3,4 to iPhone while setting "3 least recent unplayed" transfer tracks #1,2,3. But track #1 is already played why it is still being transferred?
3. Another annoying thing is that iTunes doesn't care about podcast track #. If you have track #1...10 that are encoded at different time order, iTunes will only sort tracks based on date, not the track # defined in the tag. Let's say if re-encode #3 then iTunes will think it is the most recent track. Any cure to this?

If, when your iPhone is plugged in, you click on your iPhone in iTunes. You'll see the main screen, click on the podcast tab. You can select what you want it to sync. By clicking on the Sync _____ episode button, you get a number of options to select. Play with those and see if they meet your needs.

Itunes Podcast Directory Bug!

I submitted my video podcast into the itunes directory back when 4.9 came out. I was not aware of the needed itunes rss features that must be implemented for it to work. After feedburner (my feed host) added those features, I tried to resubmit the video podcast
iTunes gave me the response that it was already submitted and therefore would not be acceppted. The problem is that it was rejected because it did not have those features turned on
I have sumbitted a feed from my second vidoe podcast, and it went through great, but the main video podcast is what I want to be in the directory
How can I get them to allow me to resubmit!?
there is no questionable content, no broken rules, it is perfect itunes material!
WHAT DO I DO?!

Michael, you need to close the Information Window before you can do anything with another file. I think that's the way it's always worked in iTunes.

Okay, the iTunes 8.2 bug that I had on my iPod Touch is back with my iPhone

I have new iPhone 3GS that I picked up this morning at 7 am. I love it, but the iTunes 8.2 bug that is being thoroughly discussed in the iPod Touch forum is back and affecting my iPhone 3GS. I did read one random post that a Apple Tech Support person said to unplug the internet (disconnect your internet) before plugging it in. I don't know why, but it worked and makes me wonder if this will also work for iPod Touch users. Weird, but it is definitely a nice work around for now!

I got it again. I plug in the iPhone into my computer and it is telling that it thinks it is a camera because it is trying to launch Canon CameraWindow, MS scanner, Picasa3, etc. Then iTunes says, "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please, disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." Yes, I tried again, and completely uninstalled iTunes and all things Apple to only re-install it. I am at my whits end again!

Itunes and iphone podcasts unusable

What is going on with Apple's attempt to redesign the podcast players on itunes and iphone?
The itunes library has been difficult to manage with need to delete podcasts several times to remove them from library
the iphone player has been stopping midway through podcasts and then being unable to play again.
I understand I may not be what apple wants podcasts to go (using itunes to download and manage with iphone to listen) but it's gone from worse to unusable in the last year. I cannot imagine what the situation that has designed for.

I am still getting this issue. Anyone else?
I'm also finding that when I try to manage podcats via itunes and click 'Show all available episodes', if they have already been downloaded on my phone they do not appear *at all* in itunes.
I am getting incredibly annoyed at this very, very poor functionality.

Hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.

please help. this issue prevents music from syncing. I have set the sync setting to convert songs to 192kbps AAC to save space, I figure that could slow the sync
down, but it's hanging indefinitely (I've left it for 24 hours with out it completing.)
the the only music that appears on the phone are songs purchased from the iTunes Store. 95% of my collection are rips from my CDs.
thank you for any help!

Yeah it's pretty sad that $1000 phone they put out you such cheap memory It causes issues, I have iPhone 6+128 GB actually this is the second brand-new one they gave me because they keep affording it trying to act like that's not the issue because they're too stupid to know how to check what memory is in each one before they give it to me when I have told them multiple times my back up runs perfectly fine on two 5s phones and a 6 64GB of course running MLC memory.
I told them it's because just like the write ups say I have 809 apps but I have not even put all my music on the phone so I'm still running 50 to 60 gigs free and it crashes and reboots itself sometimes in multitasking and more often than it does that in between multitasking I get a black screen for 1 to 2 seconds in between apps and upon start up the Apple logo screen will flicker and do weird things, One of the genius idiots asked me if I could just delete some of my apps, really that's the answer to fix the phone the customer needs to limit the amount to apps they put on their phone, why the **** get a 128 gig if you can't put on anything you want to it guess they need to start selling them saying you can only put a limited number of apps on them, it's really is a **** joke, I have over $20,000 of Apple merchandise easily and always get the new phone every year but I'm starting to reconsider my decisions in the future because this company is starting to go downhill, The reason water not recalling the phones is because they're dealing with their top-of-the-line thousand dollar phones in this case and most people don't have over two or 300 apps so they're not having as many issues, so basically they have messed up phones they just don't know it in their hands and Apple is just too **** greedy to recall the phones, they'd rather sell customer spends that only work half ***.
Stuff like this will be the downfall of their company, all the people that stay with them because as long as you don't jailbreak their stuff it normally just works without issue will be soon jumping ship if stuff like this keeps up, because I can guarantee they got me thinking now.
not that I wanted to know or should I be expected to but I even offered for them to open up my brand-new phone and just replace the memory to MLC memory which is something I shouldn't have to do with a brand-new **** phone, they should just make one with the right memory and give me a new phone, actually just don't sell customers that buy the top-of-the-line phone from you trash ones in the first place that would be a great option.
what burns me up the most is when you talk to AppleCare and Genius Bar they try to act like the issue isn't there and they're unaware of it, they say that Apple hasn't come out with any information about it, yeah that's because they don't want to recall the trash.
Apple has became nothing better than your run-of-the-mill company, android is becoming just as good as they are sad to say this since I have been an Apple fan for so long but there is no excuse for BS like this they have been looking for options to fix my phone for a month now this is not the way you should treat loyal customers, I would've been better off keeping my 5S and in the future just switching to android.
it's pretty sad that the company has no idea how to check which memory is in their **** phone and even after I offered to let them just replace the memory in my new phone by opening up my brand-new phone to replace it they have no idea how to do that either, yeah Genius Bar sure, I think that should change the name to idiot bar and Apple don't care instead of Apple care.

New podcast updating bug?

I have a new problem.
Once I listen to all the shows of a podcast on my iPhone, no new ones automatically sync.
I go to Devices>iPhone and then to the Podcasts tab, and under the Podcast list, the podcast I had been syncing is UNCHECKED! I can check that box again and hit Apply to make new shows move onto my iPhone.
I'm saying that the new version of iTunes has a bug where once you listen to all the shows of a podcast, it automatically de-selects future syncing.
Is anyone else having this problem?

RevMichael wrote:
Actually, my problem is that the new podcasts won't sync to my IPOD! Any ideas on that. They show on my list on I-Tunes, but when I sync music the podcasts don't sync in.
That's because Podcasts are not music (as far as iTunes is concerned). To Sync Podcasts, you need to check the appropriate fields on the Podcast pane, which you can find when you connect your iPod to iTunes.
Once connected, click on the device and then look for the Podcasts pane/tab.

-No Mark as Read feature

-Can’t send same text to multiple people
-Can’t scan (wouldn’t that be cool?)

-option to hear sounds every time you press a button, not only keyboard
-ability to choose sound for a particular function, for example, say you didn’t like the “New Voicemail” sound, you should be able to change it like you can do in a Treo
-certain photos won’t show up ONLY in “Add Photo” mode when editing Contacts, you just get a black screen
-iPhoto should not come to front of screen when syncing (it does for me in a Leopard seed I’m using)
-Ability to check for new mail every minute, not a minimum of 15!
-Option to keep current screen on when phone is locked for a certain amount of time, like a Treo
-Wallpaper slideshow and video capability
If Apple thinks that they can intentionally leave “key” features out of the iPhone just to make us think that the iPhone2 is a “significant update”, then Apple isn’t the company I thought it was. Make your phone the “best” it can possibly be for the time it comes out. Don’t leave out “standard” smartphone technology that will make people think twice about trashing their Treo or Blackberry. Adding true GPS or upgrading the internal memory is a different story, but things like the inability to copy and paste, the inability to record video, and the inability to use voice dialing should definitely not be issues with iPhone’s release, especially due to the fact that Apple had more than six months to test the thing. I really hope Apple fixes a lot of these “flaws” immediately or else iPhone won’t be as successful and as respected as it could have been.
Just trying to help. Please forward this to the appropriate iPhone Development department.
Thank You

How to upload podcasts which are not in the iTunes podcast library?

or how to create a playlist of podcasts?
I have some podcasts as mp3 files I'd like to upload. These podcasts are not in the Itunes podcast library. I downloaded them from another source. What I do not understand is why iTunes makes a difference between podcast mp3 files and music mp3 files. If I put my podcasts into a playlist and try to synchronise the playlist with iPhone, the files are not uploaded. Actually I do not see the playlist listed in the page "Music" of my device "iPhone".
Any ideas?

I've usually found using outer joins to be very efficient in performing NOT IN/NOT EXIST type operations.
WITH t1 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 1 begin_no, 10 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 10 begin_no, 20 end_no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 20 begin_no, 30 end_no FROM dual
   , t2 AS (
SELECT 100 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 100 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 200 type, 21 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 5 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 6 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 11 no FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 300 type, 21 no FROM dual
SELECT t2.*
FROM t2
     , t1
WHERE t1.type (+)= t2.type
   AND t2.no BETWEEN t1.begin_no(+) AND t1.end_no(+)
   AND t1.type IS NULL;
output is:
TYPE     NO
200     21
200     6
200     5
300     11

Playlist copying (iTunes to Iphone) not reliable

Hi,
I've got problems with copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone:
Problem
When copying playlists from iTunes to iPhone, I encounter three problems
- some playlists do not copy
- some songs do not copy
- And it gets stranger, in some cases the songs or playlists do actually copy, but are not visible in either Musc App or other Player Apps when on iPhone, BUT are vislble and playable when the iPhone is attached via cable to my computer. i.e. I can play those playlists / songs from my iPhone when whithin iTunes.
I can somehow get this resolved in some cases by again and again copying and synching, individual songs or entire playlists, but there is just no clear pattern of how I can copy playlists reliably.
How I copy playlist
I 'manually manage music'
I copy playlists by simply dragging them onto the iPhone in the sidebar
Configuration
MacBook Pro
OS Mavericks
iTunes 11.1.3. (8)
With around 20 'normal' playlists, containing around 20 songs (music, not podcasts) each.
I am not using music match.
Songs are mp3 from CDs not purchased via iTunes
Playlist are not smart playlists
I am not using musicmatch
Backup is against Computer, not iCloud
iPhone
iPhone 4
iOS 7.0.4
Apple Music App
Currently thereare around 1.15 GB free space on the iPhone
Has anyone any explanation why this could be the case and how to resolve this?
Any help greatly appreciated

I have the same problem, I also can't set "remember play back position" for my files on the newest iTunes.
Does your seekbar in the music app also stutter by any chance?

When i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

when i press sync in iTunes my iPhone 4s does not get the my music how do i fix this

no, and i have spent my entire spring break with a dead iphone 4s, no access to my iphone mail accounts, can't get into my text service app, and can't get into notes. oh yeah, all of my music is gone. thanks a bunch for this wonderful upgrade.
i am never upgrading again until i am sure all the bugs are out. this is a waste of my time and what's the use of having a cellphone if it only stays charged for two hours?
one of the apple forums said that iox is "expanvie" and gave us tips on how to lengthen battery life. i was already doing all that stuff. so it seemed to me that apple was just taking the stand that ios is just more "expansive." this is lipservice hogwash. if that is the case, then we need to get new phones with batteries strong enough to accommodate running these power apps and updates.
my iphone makes a **** good coaster though. right now i am just ready to start sending smoke signals!

Inspector is wrong! podcast duration bug/error

Here's what happened: using iWeb to publish a podcast. After eight episodes, noticed that using an ampersand ("&") in the description made for ugliness in RSS and iTunes ("&" becomes "&-amp" or something). So I go back and edit every entry -- changing "&" to "and." Then I publish. Oh, I also changed the name of the website and the podcast page in the "Site Organizer" area for more clarity.
Suddenly, episodes are reappearing in my personal iTunes Podcast library, as if I haven't downloaded them yet (so there's a ghost episode wiith "Get" next to it under each ep). If it were just because the description changed, I might understand (though not accept). But the weirdest part is, the duration has also changed -- each episode now says it's 10-15 seconds longer than it actually is. If you "Get" a doubled episode with the wrong time stamp, the time reverts to being correct once the download completes.
But here's the real problem: when I go into my Entries in iWeb and open the Inspector, then go to RSS > Podcast, the duration is incorrect there. The mp3 file it's referring to has not changed, nor has it been damaged. Somehow the Inspector just decided out of the blue to add some time to each duration for no apparent reason.
So I manually edited my RSS, but the episodes are still appearing twice in my podcast library (even after clicking Update), and every time I publish I will probably have to manually edit the RSS if I want the time to be correct, since the Inspector, and hence iWeb, has the time wrong.
Anyone else seen this? It's gotta be a bug, and I don't anticipate there being a fix for it, but I thought I might find comfort in knowing others have run into this.
Ideal outcome? I don't want my subscribers to get confused and think they have to re-download old episodes, so I'd like for the ghosts/doubles to disappear from subscribers' podcast libraries. I'd also like to be able to get the time stamp/duration to read correctly in the Inspector so that I don't have to manually change that in the RSS file after every time I publish.
By the way, this is for Never Not Funny, the Jimmy Pardo podcast.

Lost 3/4 of my iTunes Podcasts on my MacPro Desktop machine

Hi,
Recently my 64Gb iPhone 4s crashed after upgrading to 7.1. After restoring the backup up a number of times and the phone continuing to crash, I decided to start from scratch.
I downloaded the Apple Podcasts App onto my iPhone.
This populated immediately with the Podcast headings (subscriptions) that I have resident on my Macpro Desktop (March 2008 running 10.8.5). I have almost 3Tb of Podcasts on my MacPro desktop (many video based) and I was concerned that my iPhone would start downloading many of the podcasts. I immediately deleted all the video based Podcasts (some I have been paying for over a number of years) on my iPhone. I commenced this process on the way to work (at the Train Station) from my iPhone.
When I arrived home and started up iTunes on my MacPro Desktop, the spinning beach ball came up and stayed spinning for 3 or 4 minutes. When it stopped I noticed that 3/4 of the podcasts on my iTunes MacPro desktop had disappeared. In fact, all the Podcasts that I had deleted on my iPhone seemed to have also been deleted from my MacPro iTunes account (approx 2.3 Tb had disappeared when I checked the iTunes Drive-I have a separate 3Tb iTunes HDD for my music and Podcasts). The Podcasts were completely deleted, even the heading so I was unable to re-subscribe. It was a bit of a shock and I searched my Bin (no evidence of it there; the Bin I assume is located on my OS drive (1Tb). I hadn't even connected my iPhone to my MacPro let alone tried to sync the 2.
I am at a loss to try and retrieve the missing 2.3 Tb. I don't believe it is on my iTunes drive, definitely too large for the bin. Fortunately I had done a back up, but this was a while ago.
Questions
1. What happened for this to occur? How can the Podcast App on my iPhone directly affect my iTunes Podasts on my MacPro iTunes account at home? What if I delete the App and use another Podcasting App on my iPhone?
2. I am not sure how I can move the backup iTunes Podcasts to the MacPro HDD iTunes account. How do I also move them so that the subscription is 're-activated?
3. How is my iTunes Library catalogue affected (I have Time Machine connected to the 1 Tb Mac OS Drive on my machine. When I back up the iTunes 3Tb drive, I use a separated 3Tb HDD and use SuperDuper).
Since the Podcasts disappeared, I haven't emptied my bin.
Appreciate any explanations & advice!
Thank you
Mark

Are the music files still in your PC? The default location for them will be in the iTunes Music folder arranged in folders by artist/album.
If the music files are still there, it is just your library database that is damaged and you may be able to recover as follows:
When you upgrade to iTunes 8, a backup library database is created in the iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries folder. The name includes the date of the upgrade reversed. It will have a name like iTunes Library 2008-10-03.itl
SO try this - close iTunes and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml from the iTunes folder to your desktop.
Next copy the backup library file from Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl - i.e. remove the date from the file name.
WHen you open iTunes it will have to go through some updating, but with any luck you should get your previous library database back.

"Not Listend To Recently" iTunes to iPhone Sync Question/Problem

iPhone 3G w/3.0, iTunes 8.2, Windows Vista
I searched the FAQ and the posts, I see others ask similar question, but not a clear answer yet.
I have a number of Podcasts that I listen to daily, on my iPhone, NEVER on my computer. I regularly get the little ! saying this podcast will not update because you have not listend to it recently. HOW do I get my computer to recognize/sync the fact that I HAVE listened to the podcast recently?
According to the docs, the computer and phone will keep track of where you are in the podcast. The blue dots are always on my iTunes Podcasts.
Thanks in Advance.

There is an increasingly common problem where listens on the iPod (and it may well apply to the iPhone as well) are not being updated back to iTunes upon syncing.
Is that the problem you are experiencing? If so, FYI there has been no solution yet. The only remedy, which I found by accident, is to reboot the iTunes machine before syncing the iPod. A pain I know, but give it a try.

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
