Podcast app in iOS 6 is a major headache. Need help.

I just downloaded iOS 6 as well as the Podcast App, and my podcasts from "Music" do not all transfer to the Podcast App. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Odd also is that the synch problem I have with the Podcast app is onky on my iPod Touch where I've downloaded both the app and iOS 6.  On my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 where I am still on iOS 5, the Podcast app seems to work, albeit I still receive the "We are sorry, but we are unable to authorize your account. Please contact customer service" for certain Podcast subscriptions.

  • ITunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not allow me to create play lists in iTunes. Is there an app that will allow me to create podcast plays lists and play them on the iPhone running iOS7 ?

    iOS 7 will not alow podcasts lists in the music app so we have to use the podcast app
    but iTunes 11.1 and / or the Podcast app on iOS 7 will not show podcast play lists created in iTunes (well maybe it does but clicking on the podcasts app causes iTunes to freeze so can not select)
    sometime some folders created in iTunes have appeared with the Podcast app but others not.
    creating an on the go list in my iphone is agony - I have over 100 podcasts I have subscribed to and when creating a list you can not view by most recently downloadded podcast
    AND you can't search (no search bar) so I have to scroll through to find a podcast that might have been updated - but they are not in any logocal order that I can work out (not alphbetical or date added).
    Video podcasts are mixed with audio
    podcasts I delete (unsubscribe to) keep coming back
    its a disaster
    my question is there an alternative iPhone app that works with iTunes
    no I don't want an app where I have to download to the phone directly, thats 100 subscriptions I will have to make agaian

    Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
    I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
    To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
    Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

  • Podcasts App in iOS not Downloading New Episodes for Some Podcasts

    I am running version 2.2  (740) of the podcasts app in iOS 8.0.2
    Some of my podcasts are no longer updating, while some continue to work normally.
    If I navigate to My Podcasts > [Podcast Name] and then go into the feed tab, I cannot see any new episodes. However, If I unsubscribe and delete the podcast, then go search for it, I can see the new episodes. From here, I can even download individual episodes, but I cannot subscribe to the podcast. For some reason, the purple 'SUBSCRIBE' button does nothing when I tap it.
    Is there a way to reset the Podcasts app? Do I need to hard reset the phone?
    Thanks!

    Since no help was coming from Apple, I decided to try uninstalling 11.1.0.126 and then re-install the newly released version of iTunes for Windows, 11.1.1.11.
    The Refresh button now seems to work, and new podcast are being downloaded.

  • TS2313 Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help.

    Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Hey Karenfromanamosa,
    I fixed this problem by turning off the ipad and then turning it back on after 5-10 minutes.
    Hopefully then when you play a video it will start playing.

  • Podcast App in IOS 8.0

    Listening to Podcasts using the Podcast APP continues to be a struggle and now even worse in IOS 8.0
    Anyone have any suggestions how to make listening to Podcast as easy as it used to be.
    Everytime I go to download my daily podcasts it is a gong show and never works the same each day.
    Is there another App that works better than the Podcast App?
    Thx Much

    Hello SKBE123,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are looking for a way to display podcasts in a specific order. The following article explains how to set up a "podcast station" that allows you to organize your podcast subscriptions.

    Go to the section "Create a podcast station".

  • Podcast app in iOS 7 downloading everywhere!

    I had the apple podcast app only downloading audio podcasts on my iPhone and on my Mac it only downloaded video podcasts.  That is how I cosume these.  Since update to iOS 7, all podcasts appear on both iphone and mac.  I don't want video podcasts on my iphone because I don't want to use the space there plus I do not watch them on the iphone, I watch them on my Macbook Air.  Conversely, I don't listen to audio podcast on the MBA.
    I don't remember how I got it to do this but it is not doing this after updating. 
    Anyone else do this that can tell me how to do it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edgar

  • Podcasts apps on IOS 7.1 plays by itself

    I'm having the problem where the podcasting apps on my iPhone 5 will resume playing by itself when the phone is locked.  I'll pick up my phone and in the lock screen it will show the podcast playing from when I stopped it hours before hand.  It mostly happened with Apple's podcast app but now has started with Instacast. I have a feeling its because you can slide up on the lock screen to access the controls but it's getting aggravating because I'm losing my place on a podcasts due to what seems like a design flaw. 
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks,
    ~ Chris

    Apps are "hidden" only if they're restricted, and only a few of the apps included with the iOS can be. Third party apps can be restricted by ratings:
    Settings > General > Restrictions >
    If not restricted, search for it using the Spotlight search box  - it may have been moved to another home screen page or inside a folder.
    Also: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

  • IOS 5 workaround?? Neebie needs help testing a theory

    Hello, please excuse my ignorance in advance, but I need help with the installation of iOS 5. I know coutless users have been having issues downloading iOS 5 since it's release however I'm glad to say that the download wasn't an issue with me. My problem is that the back up process was taking an insanely long time. So I saw a tweet this evening that suggested doing a restore on my iPhone 4 back to factory settings and then restoring it from a back up. Well I figured this could possibly work since I just backed up my phone a few days ago. When I did the restore back to factory settings iOS 5 was installed however my question is when I restore using the backup that I did a few days ago (which I am doing now) will my phone be rolled back to the iOS that I had installed previously or will iOS 5 remain?
    Thanks,
    Lee

    You might do a search of the forum with the keywords of the problems you describe and you might get threads with posts by people who might have encountered the same problems you have..

  • Do you plan to update the podcast app for iOS 7?

    I can open the app but it will not let me scroll through my podcast at all. I can't open anything. It's dead! I have a iPhone 4S.

    I ran a complete restore last night and everything is working perfectly now. Looks like the download of iOS 7 through Wi-Fi was a mistake.

  • Major problem, need help

    okay so my dad completely reset our power mac G5 last week to reinstall the system to recover some lost programs. He put all of our stuff on a seagate backup harddrive and reset the system. Today i went on the computer form the first time since he did so and everything was locked. We cant make a new folder or anything. We tried to go to the old system folder where they said all of our old stuff would be but the personal files are all locked. When i click on the finder app, a window comes up that says: "the folder could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges."

    Hi, OK, 1st off exactly where are you trying to make a new Folder?
    How exactly was the backup/copies made?
