Played podcasts show 1 minute remaining

Often, I will play a podcast to the end in the Podcast app but the app often shows that the Podcast is not complete and has about 1 minute remaining.
If I do not replay the last minute and sync my iPhone to iTunes, it shows as completed in iTunes
If I replay the last minute and sync my iPhone to iTunes, it shows as played twice in iTunes
Anyone else having this behavior? Any solution?
My setup -
iPhone 5s
I do not subscribe to any podcasts inside of the Podcast app
I do not auto delete any podcasts inside of the Podcast app
I subscribe to Podcasts solely through iTunes
I sync my phone (including podcasts) from my Mac using iTunes using a cable
If I listen to podcasts on my phone, I always listen at 1.5x speed.

I've replied to this because am also experiencing same issue on both iPhone and iPad, but not when played via the iMac - from when this was first posted it seems 53 others are also suffering same problem. Anyone of the "53" been able to resolve yet or at least find out why it's happening?

My 4th generation shuffle will not play podcasts, even though they show as loaded on the legend on the left on the itunes site. The shuffle is set to play everything in order. The type on the content is gray, thats strange. And why the new annoying content format?

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and can't go any further. How do I fix this?

I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes. It just stops and will not go any further. What can I do? I am using a pc.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Podcasts showing played before syncing

When I've listened to a podcast on my device, it shows as played in iTunes before I've synced it. I don't have wifi syncing set up, so I don't understand why this is happening, when it hasn't happened until just recently.
I don't use the podcast app, but manually add each episode I want to listen to, to my device.
I have an iPod Touch 5th gen and use Windows 7. iTunes is the most current version.
I'd like to fix this so that when I play a podcast, the play count shows only the total times I've played it and not the multiple plays I'm currently seeing.
Thanks for any help!

I just replaced an iPod touch with the new iPad and greatly miss this feature as well. I can't think of why it would be missing on the iPad when the iPod and iTunes both have it. It is very frustrating.

Install Xcode from Appstore. Shows "Installing. 3 minutes remaining."

Hi,
Trying to install Xcode (for iOS 7) from Appstore.
Latest Mac OS X also is installed. Only Xcode shows "Installing. 3 minutes remaining."
From then on, nothing happens.
Any help please?

I'd quit the Mac App Store then look in /Applications to see if there is a file called Xcode. If so drag it to the trash then reboot and try loading it again.
Post back if you still have the problem.

Playing all shows in a podcast

I have read the directions for how to play all the songs in the podcast, but my iPod nano just wants to play hour 1, for example, of an episode. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there a setting that I haven't set, or is my iPod broken? Please help! Thanks!

I have this problem as well. You have to manually hit play for each podcast which is completely insane. Has anyone figured out how to play podcasts chronologically?
Other than the accelerometer the G4 nano is a disappointment regarding podcasts.

Podcast shows up in iTunes Store but feed empty in iTunes

My podcast shows up perfectly in the iTunes store. All six episodes are there and up-to-date. But no matter what I do (subscribe, update, download all) the feed list in my iTunes program remains empty. Nothing gets downloaded...
Podcast URL: http://www.brug.nu/multimedia/diensten-gemist/?podcast
When I click on a single episode, it will download it to my iTunes\Downloads folder but will not copy it to the iTunes\Podcasts folder. All other podcasts work fine so it must be something wrong with this one.
What am I missing here?
Maarten

Your iTunes Store page is at
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/de-brug-eindhoven-kerk-voor-nu/id852875733
The episodes there play within the Store. However on subscribing it is looking for a feed at the URL you quoted above:
http://www.brug.nu/multimedia/diensten-gemist/?podcast
This is not a feed, it's a web page. Since your Store page works, you evidently had a working feed in the past, and the Store has cached this: but you have somehow substituted the web page at the same URL - unless you server is set up to respond with a web page when requested from a browser and should serve a proper when requested from iTunes. In any case, subscribing in iTunes doesn't work so it is evidently seeing that web page.
Incidentally the 'iTunes' link near the top of the page attempt to subscribe iTunes to the same web page; there is an RSS icon at the bottom of the page linking to an actual feed but this has only the header and no episodes.

Played Podcasts are not removed from iPhone despite iTunes settings?

Hi,
In iTunes I have set my general Podcast settings to only sync unplayed podcasts to my iPhone. However, when synced, the played podcasts remain on my iPhone. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

I have exactly this problem. Alongside the podcasts I subscribe to via iTunes, I download some random ones from time to time via the iPhone itself. Now I simply can't rid myself of the files - they show on the iPhone screen but not when connected to iTunes and they are restored to my library every time I reconnect to the Mac. There seems to be no way of deleting the things - I even tried de-synching all podcasts and re-synching again but this didn't work either.
This only seems to have happened since I upgraded to iOS 5. Mine is a 3gs by the way.
Any answers anyone?

IPod doesn't play podcasts??

Ok, so I sent my iPod to be repaired....replaced the cables....reset, restored, reformatted, re-everything over and over again. In the end it still freezes or resets about 80% of the time when I play podcasts on it. It happens at various times on various podcasts. It could happen within a few seconds or possibly a few minutes....if I am very lucky it might make it all the way through the podcast. I have worked with multiple layers of apple support, and nothing works.
Well, it all came down last night. Basically, my support person told me that if this last reformat and restore didn't help (which it didn't), then there wasn't much they could do for me because they don't guarantee that the iPod will play podcasts. What?! Sure, I understand that they can't guarantee any particular podcast, but I am referring to any and ALL podcasts. When I hear that from Apple it means that the following must be true:
An iPod that will not play ANY podcasts can still be categorized as fully functional and acceptable for purchase.
I'm sorry but I find that to be unacceptable. Half the reason my wife bought me the iPod Nano as a birthday gift was so I could listen to podcasts (and we aren't talking about some slacker's blogcast...this is the NYT, NPR, etc).
Am I missing something??

I have found another disadvantage to using Dopi.
I've had times when a podcast doesn't get downloaded fully: after downloading an episode of an hour-long program the podcast shows up in iTunes as being just, say, 23 minutes long. Normally you could delete that episode, click the right-pointing arrow in the line with the name of the show (NOT the line for the episode) to bring up the show in the iTunes store, and download the episode again (and again, and again, sometimes).
If an episode doesn't download properly in Dopi, clicking on that arrow in the show name's line brings up the show's website, and often you cannot simply get a particular episode of the podcast from that website.
This is not so much a complaint about Dopi -- not much they can do about it, I reckon -- but about the fact that we need something like Dopi at all. Feh.
For me, it is only "Talk of the Nation - Science Friday" that I want in order, as they break up the two-hour show into segments (convenient, yet not so for the Shuffle) and often talk about what's been said in a previous segment, which for me comes later. I've dropped Dopi and now I either load just one segment of Science Friday with a few other shows, or I load all the segments and mutter under my breath when I hear references to a previous segment I'll not hear until after the current one.

IPod Plays Podcasts one at a time

I just updated my 4G iPod to V3.1 with the current updater & I am using iTunes 4.9.
Currently, I am only able to play one podcast at a time.
It will not go to the next podcast on it's own. Pressing FWD (>) to what should be the next podcast instead takes me back to the main menu. I then have to go through the the menu to get back to play the next podcast.
My iPod was able to go the next podcast both on it's own & by pressing FWD (>) before I updated the iPod but not know.
My iPod does play songs one after the other as it always did.
It looks like this is the way it is as I can not find any settings to get it to play podcast's one after the other.
Can any one help?
Rich

CharlieXX
Thanks for the guess.
Shuffle was already off.
Only 1 of several podcasts show up in the Genre "Podcast" despite the fact there are other podcasts with "Podcast" as the Genre as listed in iTunes.
So I am now only able to play podcasts one at a time. After each one, the iPod takes me back to the main menu no matter what I do.
This situation is new, & only started after I updated to V3.1. With the previous version, I was able to play podcasts one after the other.
All my Podcasts do show up in the Podcast play list.
I think we need another solution.

Can no longer play podcasts downloaded on itunes on 2nd generation shuffle, is there a fix?

Ever since the latest version of itunes was unleased (Apple is so going downhill if this is any indication) my ipod Shuffle 2nd generation (I have 2) will not play podcasts downloaded on itunes. I get orange, green, orange, green lights and then nothing - because the ipod cannot recognize the files apparently. They both do the same thing, I load, they show up as loaded on itunes, I press play, the lights. If I download the podcast from the originator site directly, they play no problem. I have the latest update for the Shuffles, have reset them numerous times and yet the problem persists. I only use these Shuffles to load podcasts daily. I remove them as soon as I listened and then put new podcasts on the next day. Why do I have 2? Because I bought a second one when this started and I thought the Shuffle was broken - now both act exactly the same. Even old podcasts that played fine months ago will not play on the shuffle any longer. Is there any fix? I assume someone else is a podcast listener and is having this same problem and maybe has a solution.

Switch the mode to single plat, not shuffle.

IPod shuffle 4th Gen. How to start playing podcast from the very beginning once again?

Hello to everybody in this forum,
I bought a new iPod shuffle 4th Gen music player for about two weeks ago. I love this device, it works great as well as it's sound quality amazes me after Windows Mobile 6.0 Phone, Transcend MP3 and even Samsung Galaxy Ace devices use experience. It's much better and it made me got used to podcasts feature I never tried before, But if I want to replay the very same podcast item from the very beginning - I simply don't know how to rewind it back. If I press next/prev buttons it doesn't help. The podcast itself starts to play at about 5 minutes before a podcast's end as if I were listened to the whole podcast continuously from the beginning of a podcast. A podcast appears to be divided into chapters and I don't understand how to switch chaprers. Even if I did, the amount of chapters is big and it's inconvenient to swith every chapter with prev button pressed. Shuffle's manual tells me nothing on how to get things work I want it to. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards, Alexander Chernyaev.

Playing podcasts in iTunes....not working

I am under the impression that I can play podcasts in my iTunes. I have a particular podcast that will not go onto my iPod nano and will not convert to a movie. (it's a video) Is there a way to play it in podcast form on iTunes. I've tried double clicking it and it won't work........

Sounds like you have a video that is not supported by iTunes / Quicktime.
Right-click the entry in iTunes and select (hmm, forgot exact option) 'show in Explorer' or something like that. That should open Windows Explorer and highlight this particular file. Right click the file and select Open With... QuickTime Player. If QT won't play the file, then you have almost no chance of playing it on an iPod. You would have to convert the file using some other utility to WMV or MPG so that iTunes & iPod could handle the file.

Doesn't seem to play podcasts after 1.02 update.

My shuffle doesn't seem to be able to play podcasts after the 1.02 update. I drag songs onto the shuffle in iTunes and it loads. The playlist for the shuffle says the podcast file is on there. I disconnect the shuffle and hit play. The light blinks between green and orange a couple times and that's it. The little card that shows error messages says my shuffle is empty. I plug the shuffle back into the computer and iTunes still shows that file is on the shuffle.
This has started since the 1.02 update. If I put other files like MP3s on my shuffle, they work fine. I've tried doing the 'restore' function and it didn't help. Podcasts tend to be bookmarked AAC files. So, is 1.02 having problems with bookmarked files?
Anyone else having this problem?

Is your "shuffle"/"play-in-order" switch set to "play-in-order"?

Played podcasts not marked played ofter syncing

My played podcasts are being marked unplayed on my Iphone and not removed from Itunes when I resync. I have my Itunes set to remove all unplayed from Iphone, and Itunes to only keep unplayed podcasts. This worked prior to the most recent update. I have even restored my iphone. Using Itunes 9.0.1.8 and Iphone 3.1...Is there a bug causing the problem??

I too am having severe problems with long mp3s (think 3 1/2 to 4 hours) and the remember position feature on my iphone. Once it gets to an hour left, the remember position reverts to between 58 and 63 minutes left, depending on the file. It will not allow me to scrub ahead either. It reverts back to the exact same time.
It is very annoying (to the point of unusable) and I hope a fix happens soon.
