My first smartphone....how do I pin or save podcasts?

H,
This is the first smartphone I have ever had and I will admit I was a little hasty in buying it. I LOVE Nokia phones, always have. But if I had it to do over I would probably buy an Android. I bought this phone to integrate with my system at work and not have gmail or GDrive is crippling for me. My own fault for not paying attention to what I was really buying. On to my question.....I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but there are several podcasts I would like to be able to listen to regularly and I am even subscribed to them but when I want to view or listen I have no CLUE where they are. Every time I have to go through the Apps/Podcasts/Search routine to find the one I want. This can't be right, can it?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

On your homescreen, you will see a Green Xbox tile that says "Music and Videos", click on that
Once you open the app, swipe over till you find the tab "Collection". Under "Collection" you will find "podcasts". All your subscribed and downloaded podcast should be there.
Regarding your Gmail
From home screen swipe left to your app list > Click on Settings > Emails and Accounts > add an account >Google > sign in with your account > sync
Then go back to your app list and you will see now a Gmail app. Press and hold the app till "pin to start" box pops up. Then pin it to start
Regarding you GDrive ( Google's cloud service)
Microsoft already has their own cloud service called SkyDrive. Same thing as Gdrive but since this is a Windows Phone, everything will work around SkyDrive. Go to the store and download the SkyDrive app. Everything in your phone revolves around having the option of saving it to SkyDrive. You can access any documents or picture from SkyDrive from anywhere in the world, just like GDrive. Lets say you have an Excel document and since Windows Phones have built in Office 2013, you can save the file from your home computer to Skydrive.com. So when you are on the go, the SkyDrive app or Office app in your phone will automatically update and sync from SkyDrive and you can access your file and work it right from your phone. And as you know Microsoft Office (word, excel, powerpoint) is vastly superior than Google Docs.

  • First smartphone and I'm confused - loads of questions

    So, I'm trying to get a handle on this new Blackberry.  I'm upgrading from a Motorola RAZR v3 and the learning curve is steeper than I expected.
    I bought it unlocked from amazon.com, and have slid my T-Mobile Prepaid service SIM into it (no data plan).  I've managed to get my contacts into it (not perfectly, but they're there).  I figured out how to phone and text (yay).
    After some issues I finally convinced my router that it was OK for the Blackberry to connect. I figured out I need to use the Hotspot Browser to surf the net through my wifi connection, and successfully went to gmail and to my personal website.
    First question:  How do I zoom a page?
    Second, I seem to be able to surf fine, but when I check the status, Wifi doesn't have a checkmark, it has a dash.  I'm pretty sure it had a checkmark when I first set it up last night.  What does the dash mean and how do I fix that?
    Where my real problem is is setting up email - when I go to Email Setup, I only get the 'corporate email' choice.  This is not helpful
    I need to know better what the unit's limitations are as far as internet access - I thought I could use it like my Ipod Touch, which of course has *only* wifi.  I have set up email on it, no problem.  I read in different places that it doesn't need a data plan for email, in other places it requires a data plan to "use wifi".  Well, for what, since I can surf the net fine?
    Also could use some advice as to how I get extra applications, and whether they'll work via the phone connection, wifi, both, or neither.
    Oh!  And one reason I bought this particular phone is that it supports UMA - it's supposed to go to WiFi during a call if the cell link is too weak.  My cell link in my house sucks (even with a cell extender).  Question is, on a phone with no data plan but a strong wifi connection, will this function work?
    Sorry for so many questions, hope y'all can help me!

    lol, Phooey?
    Are you Tmobile in the USA? Their BlackBerry Data Plan costs $20/month, if I recall correctly.
    You pay that for the BlackBerry Data Plan. If you want less, like an iTouch plan, you less, and you get less. So you get what you pay for. Did the tmobile people not explain this to you?
    I don't know what you signed up for on the website, but if it was the BlackBerry Data Plan or BlackBerry Internet Service plan for individuals, that is what you need. Last time I looked, it was $20.
    Anyway, a company has a right to charge what they feel the market will bear for their product. AT&T charges $30 and I think Verizon does the same for $35.
    Call Tmobile. Good luck!

  • Just got iphone w/siri -- first smartphone for me

    Hi,
    It's my first smartphone and I'm feeling kinda dumb!  I'm with Verizon.
    1.  How can I check my data plan usage so I won't go over?
    2.  Can I delete the pre-loaded icons I don't want such as 'Stocks' (I prefer a different site for that)?
    3.  How can I rearrange the icons?
    4.  Is there an option to store my apple id password so I don't have to keep entering it in?
    Thanks for any help.

    1.  How can I check my data plan usage so I won't go over?
    AT&T has a free app for the iPhone that provides for this along with being able to view and pay your bill. If Verizon does not have an iPhone app, there should be an option to request current usage at Settings > Phone > Verizon Services. There is an AT&T Services option so I assume there is a Verizon Services option as well.
    2.  Can I delete the pre-loaded icons I don't want such as 'Stocks' (I prefer a different site for that)?
    None of the included apps can be deleted.
    3.  How can I rearrange the icons?
    Included with the user guide. Apple includes a bookmark with the Safari browser on the iPhone for access to the user guide. Press and hold on any icon until all begin to wiggle. Select and drag the icons where you want and when finished, select the Home button.
    4.  Is there an option to store my apple id password so I don't have to keep entering it in?
    No, which is for security reasons.

  • My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove?

    My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
    Can anyone help me?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not.  If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID.  (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library.  It was subsequently synced to your phone.)  The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

    In iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  You can then view you phone as you could with previous versions.  To register your phone go to https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa.

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

  • How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

    Hi,
    Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
    VBox {
    translateX: 10
    translateY: 10
    spacing: 20
    content: [
    Label {
    text: "TextBox:"
    TextBox {
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
    ] //contents
    //VBox
    now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
    Regards,
    Kibu

    Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
    Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
    layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

  • How do I pin a footer right at the bottom?

    Hello,
    I thought I had this sorted but when I checked my website I suddenly realised something had changed behind my back and suddenly my footers (with all my contact details on against a rectangle of the background colour) were suddenly not visible.
    Opening up my site in Muse, I saw that the footers had somehow shifted below being part of their pages at all. Fiddling around with the positioning of the footer, both on the pages themselves and within the master page, just ended up with them being too high on the page, so that the window for actual content was too small and it just looked silly.
    For now I have reverted to unpinning and just having the box and contact details at the bottom of the page (in the master page).
    How can I pin it but at the actual bottom of the browser window?
    (nb, of course I had it ticked in pin on the centre bottom square).
    thanks,
    Sarah

  • How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen?

    How do I pin the bookmark sidebar to the left side of my screen? My bookmark sidebar (vertical on the left side of the screen) is gone. When this would happen in the past I wold F10 and then select to view (or pin...can't remember the wording of the command) the sidebar. It was always visible with my bookmarks sorted. Now that sidebar is gone and I can't figure out how to add it back. HELP!

    *You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > Bookmarks" or Ctrl+B
    *You can toggle the History sidebar on/off via "View > Sidebars > History" or Ctrl+H
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later.  You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
    If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back.  My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
    You may have Numbers '09 installed.  Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"  if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save.  Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

  • IPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

    iPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

    Is this a slideshow played directly from an album or Event or one created in the slideshow mode? 
    If it's the former that's been a problem for a many users. There hasn't been a firm fix found for it as yet. 
    There is a workaround.  Put the photos in the order you want, select them all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text menu option.  Put in Slide and check the box to add a sequential number to give you Slide-01, Slide-02, etc. 
    Now when clicking the play button at the bottom of the Album or Event window the slides will play in the order Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
    The best workaround is to use the iPhoto slideshow mode to crate the slideshow. There's been no reorts of similar problems in that mode.

  • I bought the second season of arrow on i tunes and it only downloaded the first episode how do i download the rest?

    Please help i have spent forty dollars on this season of arrow and it only downloaded the first episode how do i download the rest?

    Hi handpg2,
    It looks like there are several options for downloading episodes of a TV show.
    iTunes Store download options
    Season Passes and completed TV seasons
    When you buy a TV season or Season Pass, you'll see these options:
    Later: Don't download any episodes now. You can download your episodes later from iTunes in the Cloud.
    Download All: Download all available episodes.
    Download: Download the earliest unseen episode of the season. For example:
    If you haven't downloaded any episodes from a season, episode 1 of that season will download.
    If you've previously bought or downloaded episode 3 of a season, episode 4 of that season will download.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
