My podcast app won't open, any suggestions?

when i click on the app get a blank white screen then goes back to main screen.  have tried re-starting. 

This is what I did:
1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone.  Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone.  The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install".  Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes.  It now displays "Will Install"
1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync.  iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens.  Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon. 
1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app.  Everything now working properly.
2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
Thanks for your help!

  • Since loading OSI7 on my iphone 4s the podcast app won't open

    can any one help me work out why the podcast app wont open after installing osi7

    I had the same issue initially as well. The app worked once I rebooted the phone (hold power button, slide to power off).

  • One app will not open any suggestions

    One app would not open so I tried everything and finally took iPad back to factory settings.  Now the app I had trouble with opens ok but another one wont open now.  Any suggestions?

    Try this:
    1. Close all inactive apps. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Podcast app won't open after updating to 7.1.1

    I just updated my iPhone to 7.1.1 and now the podcast app doesn't work. When I press it, it just sort of blinks and then nothing happens.
    I have tried un-installing it, and then re-installing it, but that didn't help. Thanks for any advice.

    Okay. That's looking like a badly broken QuickTime (although it's not the most common message people see under those circumstances).
    So we'd better try swapping out your existing QuickTime. Since it's giving you "fatal errors", it's unlikely that you'll be able to use Add/remove Programs to uninstall it. So we'll try getting it out of there by other means.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC (Run CleanUp, find "QuickTime in the entries in CleanUp, select the QuickTime entry and click "Remove"):
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • Iwork apps won't open any files on new iMac

    just got my new imac. my original iwork purchase was from a CD, so i reinstalled it on the new mac from the original disc, did all the updates, and now can only create new documents. none of the apps will open existing iwork or microsoft documents. it still works on my old computer.
    in numbers, i get the error message "The document - - - could not be opened."
    in pages and keynote, i get the error message "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and reopen Keynote."
    since i didn't purchase via the app store, i can't update from there, so i went to apple's site for the latest updates. i believe i'm up to date:
    numbers '09, v 2.3
    pages v 4.3
    keynote v 5.3
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    susan

    update :
    after numerous calls and efforts with apple care, i decided to try purchasing the app directly from the app store (which i was reluctant to do since i already owned the iworks '09 disk). and it worked. so i'm out $40 (didn't buy keynote yet). but at least i have something that works. and i didn't need to reinstall the  OS like the apple care people wanted to try...
    hope this helps others in the same boat.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

    If the preinstalled Apple apps are working OK - download another app - any free app is fine. See if that lets you use the other apps afterward.

  • Some apps won't open after OS X Mavericks update

    After the update to OS X Mavericks, some apps won't open on my macbook pro.  That include things like preview, boot camp assistant, from what I've tried so far. When I click on those from applications menu or from the spotlight search, the icon appear on the dock very briefly(like 1 sec) and nothing happened after that. Based on the internet search, I tried the Disk permissions repair and didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi aung.24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend trying the troubleshooting for "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" from this article:

  • Podcasts app won't remember played episodes and automatically deletes played episodes.

    I'm using an iPhone 4, iOS 6. I run a Mac and have set podcasts to keep 1 most recent episode. It simply will not honor this setting. Tried deleting/reloading Podcasts app won't remember played episodes. It will randomly decide all xx previous episodes are new and unplayed. Even after marking all as played it will show it as such and then an hour later revert. This is not shown on my home computer or on an ipad or what not just FYI. It automatically deletes played episodes. I'd like to keep the most recent episode of all the podcasts I subscribe to and only delete once the new one is downloaded. In case I want to refer back. It regularly deletes them, requiring me to redownload the episode and annihilating my data cap. It just won't actually sync or work correctly at all.
    Any advice or help is very much appreciated. I hate to vent; it is just exasperating.
    PS: I understand many people like third party providers and you'd think I'd have done that given how much I listen to podcasts but this ought to work and work like Amazon's whispersync. Whoever is in charge of this is a bozo that's blowing it and I hope they are aware of it.

    I am also having problems with 100s of played podcasts being listed.  Like others, if I delete a podcast, it reappears as unplayed the next time I open podcast app in a WiFi zone.  In the meantime, the app stops working while it tries to handle all the new info.  Finally for some podcasts, it plays and old episode when I select the most recent. I keep selecting "Mark all as played" only to see 100s show up a few hours later. I would prefer played episodes not to be listed in menu at all!
    I listen  to podcasts on the subway without any ability to stream and prefer to access only from my phone and not have to fuss with computer.
    I have read that if you delete the app to go back to using Music app, you can no longer download new podcasts but must do in iTunes.  Is there any fix or workaround?

  • Digital Life app won't open

    My DL app won't open. I just get a black screen when I try to open it. If it does load the login screen, it tells me username/password are not correct. And I know they are. I tried resetting the password and the page won't load for me to enter the temporary password. I've tried on my Galaxy S5 and iPhone 5S (both fully updated). I'm on hold for tech support now but who knows what year they will answer in. Any suggestions?

    I am having similar issues but when I was finally able to log into application, the program stops so I can get access to my cameras or other features. I am also waiting and on hold as well for support.
