Podcast app pauses after unlocking screen

After installing the latest update I've been experiencing an issue where the podcast app will pause whatever podcast is playing after the screen is unlocked. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? Any solutions?

With the latest update to this idiotic and pointles app (Apple just can't admit that they're wrong and put the podcasts back in "Music/Audio"), they fixed SOME BUT NOT ALL of the stuttering and pausing when going from lock screen to the phone menu (it's also bled over into the music as well).  I mean, it's better than before in that it now happens 10% of the time instead of 70% of the time.
Also with the latest update, when deleting a podcast episode from the phone in itunes, a "ghost" of the podcast stays on the phone requiring a second step in the deletion process (a third if include also deleting the episode from itunes itself).  Doing a bang-up job there, guys, of forcing people to use something that noone wanted/needed, and then continually making that thing worse.

  • HT5295 How do I play video podcasts on my TV via the Podcasts app? After iOS 6 upgrade, I'm unable to do this.

    I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable.  Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV.  It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play properly.  Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great. 

    I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
    The instructions can be found at this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaI9GwPKXkE
    In short:
    1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
    2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
    3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
    4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
    5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
    After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
    Hope this helps you too!

  • Podcast App crashes after a few seconds

    iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0
    As of this morning, my podcast app will crash as soon as it tries to connect to the podcast/apple server to refresh/download over several wifi networks.
    I deleted most of the podcasts and subscriptions trying to figure out what was causing the crash with no luck - but found that if I put the phone into airplane mode it would not crash since it was not attempting to connect to the server.
    I've tried turning the phone off/on, shutting down the app, re-downloading the podcast app several times, and a "hard reset" with no success.
    Based on the other threads in here I've seen with similar problems with iTunes in the past, I am assuming this is an issue with Apple's servers and possibly something to do with DRM?

  • IPhone Safari launches itself after unlocking screen

    This started happening recently. Ive noticed after using safari and putting the device to sleep after waking it and unlocking the screen safari launches. When it went to sleep safari was not running, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even in the list of recently used apps. On top of it, all the tabs I previously had opened are missing as well.
    Ive cleared safari cookies, history etc... Completed a hard reset, cleaned the screen, everything I can think of short of restoring factory defaults. This is also happening to a family members iPhone as well. 4S and 4 respectively.
    Anyone else seen this odd behavior?

  • Long pause after login screen on Mountain Lion

    Here's some strange behaviour I noticed on a quite fresh and clean install of Mountain Lion:
    There's a long pause (around 10 sec) after I type my password in the login screen until the Desktop is actually shown. The funny part is: if I hit the key for Mission Control during that pause, the I'm able to see the Desktop and interact with it, while the login screen is moved to the side. The Finder is fully usable but as soon as I start an application, the login screen moves back in and covers all until finally the login animation is displayed.
    I never experienced that behaviour before and always had the whole boot process in less than 15 secs. Now it takes up to 30 secs until I see the desktop.
    I already tried a lot (HardDisk Utility, permissions, LaunchAgents, LaunchDemons, StartupItems etc) with no luck. Theres nothing in the Konsole for this pause.
    Any ideas? My world won't crumble about this but I'm curious what might cause this delay.
    Thanks in advance,
    Arroyodorado

    I had no luck with that one either. Maybe Mountain Lion is not longer accepting that particular command setting. Thanks for trying to help though. If you ever find out please give me a shout.
    To recap, the Terminal commands...
    sudo defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad Clicking -int 1
    and
    # Enable tap to click on a Magic Trackpad
    defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad Clicking -bool true
    # Enable tap to click for the active user
    defaults -currentHost write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
    # Enable tap to click on the login screen
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior -int 1
    ... have not worked when using OSX Mountain Lion.
    Has anyone else got any other options we could try?

  • Large number of apps crashing after opening screen

    A large number of the applications on my 16 GB iPhone 3G have begun to crash when I try to open them. At first I thought it was just those that used the camera, but now, although the photo ones are among the major offenders, there are others too.
    I have almost filled my apps quota but never had this issue before. I think I may have had one or two problematic apps over the past 9 months, but nothing like the number that are now refusing to open. Attempting to open these apps will show the app's opening screen and then just bring me back to the home screen.
    I'm not aware of having made any changes that might have caused the problem. I tried to remember the most recent apps I added and tried deleting them but it didn't help. I've shut down and restarted a few times and done a total reboot once or twice, but without success.
    Can anyone suggest what I should try next?
    Thanks.

    I have exactly the same problem and even deauthorizing and then authorizing the computer again doesn't help to solve this.
    It happen just after I upgraded iTunes to 8.1.
    Since that, I'm not able any more to launch any application installed from the AppStore. Native applications and custom applications installed from Xcode are working without any problem.
    I also tried to purchase a new application to see what happen. Result: it doesn't launch.

    Did you purchase the application in iTunes on your Mac and then sync it to the iPhone?
    If not, try walking through the process I suggested above.
    If you did purchase the application in iTunes and sync it to the iPhone after deauthorizing and authorizing, try updating the iPhone to 2.2.1 or restoring the iPhone as shown here: This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring an iPhone or iPod touch.

  • A third party app keeps showing in my podcast app even after restoring as a new phone.  Why?

    A third party app that I've used for a long time through iTunes to download a specific podcast not available through the iTunes store has gotten a bit messed up.  I've used this for 3+ years with no problem. Lately though the name of the podcast will show up as an empty folder even though I've downloaded and synced it up.  The episodes may stay for about 24 hours but then the app disappears from inside of iTunes and all the episodes are deleted.  I've removed the app, reinstalled it, etc., and the same thing happens.  I restored the phone from a back up, same problem.   I even set the phone up as new and this same empty folder was on the iPhone immediately.  That I don't understand...how is that even possible?
    I'm not sure why wiping the phone and setting up as new made the folder appear.  Not sure what role, if any, iCloud plays in seeing this sort of app?
    Thanks.

    I solved this through a combo of reinstalling the app and removing it but the real kicker is to make sure to go into the iPhone if you have any phantom podcasts and go to settings/general/usage/manage storage and see what is there for podcasts.  Delete it from this location to start over.  I found this file was larger than justified compared to what was in the podcast folder.  Somehow this had gotten corrupted.
    I'm sharing in case others need a solution.  Of course, the one respondent on here already knew this info so this is for all the other folks out there.

  • IPad shuts down when checking email after unlocking screen and listening to music

    My iPad has begun to shut down and go to main screen while checking my emails .....I had just unlocked my screen and stoping playing aol music. I would love some help if possible?

    Try rebooting the ipad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • [Z3 compact] Bluetooth headphones disconnecting after unlock screen

    I've just encountered a strange issue while listening to music over bluetooth on my Sony MDR-10rbt headphones (connected in high quality mode, aptx codec used). It's fine until you try to unlock te screen, it then immediatly switches to play the music over the normal speakers at maximum volume. At home not so much of an issue but in a quiet office environment very annoying, even more so if people don't tend to appreciate my choice of music
    The strange thing is, in the walkman software it still says it's connected to the headphones (throw icon glowing) and even the BT icon in the bar is white and not light grey so it's still connected as far as the phone is concerned.
    The Z3 compact is on 23.0.A.2.105 and the headphones are fully charged.
    I also have a Z2 (the Z3 compact is supposed to replace it), that does have the same behaviour. That's running 17.1.1.A.0.402.

    You should contact Sony directly

  • Automatic logout after lock screen for long time?

    When I leave my mac screen locked for long time, sometimes I see the following message after unlocking screen:
    "Logout has timed out because the application [x] failed to quit...."
    Where [x] is some application trying to quit, and is waiting for user confirmation. This happens even when the computer is plugged in to AC. Has anyone else seen this problem? TIA

  • My podcast no longer updates in the podcast app

    I host several podcasts, but one of them hasn't updated the last 2 days after I posted it--and pinged it. I'm seeing it everywhere else it gets burned to, except the Podcast app. What's going on--and is there something I can do on my end to fix it? (My other podcasts are updating just fine, so it seems strange that it has to do with the podcast app--esp after I recently did the latest update which was supposed to fix that bug).

    The 'itunes:summary' tag for the episode of 19th January ends like this -
    &quot;This year, I will exercise more.&quot...</itunes:summary>
    As the '&quot;' tag has been truncated you have an ampersand (indicating the start of a code sequence) but the code is never finished. This renders the rest of the feed unreadable, and as that includes the closing tags the entire feed is invalidated and iTunes cannot read it.
    There's no reason to have all these '&quot;' tags - just type " (iTunes won't render the code but will display it, which looks messy) - but in any case don't let a code be truncated like that or you will have this problem.
    Incidentally it's better all round to start your own thread when you have a query, rather than tag on to an existing one which can cause confusion if a discussion is ongoing. You're also more likely to be noticed.

  • Podcast app opens then closes

    I was listening to a podcast then left the podcast app. After returning to the app to listen to another podcast, the app opens the closes immediately.

    Same problem here. I was in the middle of a show and the app crashed. Kept crashing each time I tried to go back and listen. Did the ole uninstall and re-install and the shows I listen to all showed up AND then the app crashed again.
    Update 6/26/14 @ 4:17 PM EST: Seems that if you put the phone in Airplane mode this fixes the issue (if this can be called a fix). So I'm guessing that the issue is something to do with the WiFi/Cellular connection to the App.
