Podcast issue on iPhone

Hi,
I have a problem when connecting my iPhone. Podcasts I have listened to (up to the very end, ref. to previous posts and possible solution), do not show as they do on my iPod Nano, i.e. the "play count" and "last played" columns providing the number of times a podcast has been read and when remain blank. Also, the blue dots remain instead of disappearing or being half blue-half white in case of partial reading of a podcast. I use iTunes 9.0.3 and manage my music and videos, as well as podcasts, manually.
Any ideas why the same configuration works fine on my iPod Nano, but not on my iPhone?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

Found !
You first need to Sync your iPhone. The same holds for Nike+: if you do not Sync first, even if you have "automatically send data to Nike+" activated, nothing happens on Nike+.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

Why Can't I Download my Podcast from the iPhone's iTunes Music Store

Hi,
Newbie here and was hoping if someone could help me. I recently submitted my podcast feed at the itunes music store and is now currently searchable if i use my itune client on my Mac. No problem on subscribing and everything works great. Now when I search it in the itunes music store via my iphone, I can still search it, and it has 2 reviews but it seems that all episodes are grayed out. I can't do anything with it. I can't download it whatsoever.
Anyone out there with the same issues I'm having? Is it my feed or my phone?

i just tried subscribing, and when i do, i am unable to download any of the podcasts, nor am i able to listen to them in iTunes.
i was able to find your podcast in my iPhone, but i was not able to get it to download like i can with other podcasts.
sadly, as i have no experience on the admin side of podcasts, so i can not offer any advise, but i hope my information helps you troubleshoot!

Podcasts played on iPhone don't sync with iTunes on my Mac

Sometimes my played podcasts on my iPhone do sync to iTunes, sometimes the podcast on iTunes is still marked as new and transfers back to my iPhone as unplayed.
What are the actual steps I need to take to ensure that my played podcasts are transferring to my iTunes as played with a Last Played date?

I haven't noticed the issue with music, but with podcasts it is very noticable and annoying. Basically, it seems as if the iPhone is sending no information during the synch. Podcasts I have listened to and have been automatically deleted are re-added as soon as I synch. Has anyone tried unchecking the synch podcasts button on iTunes? I'm tempted to try it and see if the podcast app handles everything solo.

Cant download more than one podcast on my iPhone

Hi,
It seems that I cant have more than one podcast on my iPhone: I downloaded one OK (e.g. episode 1), then went to "Get More Episodes...", which took me to the correct page on the iTunes store, tapped on the arrow for a second podcast (e.g. episode 2). The download seems to proceed and complete as normal, but then the arrow reappears and the podcast is nowhere to be found on my iPhone. I tried several times, to no avail. As a test, I deleted episode 1 from my iPhone, and then downloaded episode 2, which worked just fine. If I then try to download episode 1 again (with episode 2 already on the phone), the problem re-occurs. So it seems as if there is a hard limit on only one podcast on my iPhone. I also tried downloading podcasts from other sources and the problem remains. I dont think it is a space issue as I have about 1GB left on my iPhone and each podcast is about 50MB. I have tried a soft reset, but again that didnt help.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks in advance,
Arnaud

Hi. First make sure you have the latest phone update (menu-settings-phone-phone mgmt-device updates-options-check for updates).Next, the Nokia c6-00 only has 128mb of RAM. Approx 80mb is needed to run the device. So that does not leave much for running APPs. When you run an APP you need to close it by using the exit command on the left. If you exit via right it leaves the APP open. Not all open APPs are visible when you press and hold the middle button. Download App Stop from Nokia Store.I have it as a homescreen widget. I use it all the time to ensure I have closed an APP after leaving it. Also I switch off then reboot my phone each week. After it has settled down I use App Stop to close all APPs opened on boot up usually contact, clock etc.(Use once then again just to be sure.) Another good APP is Ergo's MemInfo which shows exaclty how much RAM is being used, you will need to Google for this APP. RamInfo is a more basic APP which is free from Nokia Store. I hope this is helpful.

Not Seeing the RSS Feed in Podcast in any iPhone or apple product

Hi,
I'm currently developing a podcast type site in Wordpress and one of the functions they want is the ability to pull an RSS feed of their posts with podcasts into the Podcast app.
I'm using feedburner and have it configured for podcasts and when I try to add the feed manually to Podcast on an iPhone 4 running ios 7 it adds it but it says there are 0 episodes. (on a side note when I try to add it to iTunes I get the same problem) and I get the same problem on an iPhone 5 running ios7.
I suspect there is something about the feed that apple products don't like but since I'm using feedburner and it should be adjust the feed accordingly I'm not sure where the issue is. The feedburner URL is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/timbuild1/IYPr
if anyone can shed any light it would be greatly appreciated, I've searched for hours and read tons of posts, forum posts and articles but I can't find any answers.
thanks

All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
Has anyone else experience this?
Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

Hi,
Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
Let us know how it goes.
Best wishes

Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?

A fairly basic question - Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?
And a possibly related question "Why do podcasts I have deleted from my phone often reappear, but in the cloud?".
And finally "How is the podcast app supposed to work?" and "Why doesn't apple even try to explain aspects of the app (i.e what "My Episodes", "Feed" and "Saved" is meant to mean).

Good morning mickp99,
I'm going to start with your third question first ... there are two main ways to learn about our apps. The first is the main product support page for the app online. The second is the user manual for the device (your iPhone). Here are the resources for the Podcasts app. The answers to questions one and two above may lie in the settings you have for downloading and syncing the podcasts you are seeing. I've highlighted some key information for you below. Click on the links for complete information.

Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap the download icon next to an episode.
The podcast will start to download and will appear in My Podcasts. When you use a cellular data connection, the maximum download size is 100 MB per episode.
Subscribing
You can subscribe to your favorite podcasts. Whenever a new episode is available your iOS devices will get them automatically.
Browse or Search for a podcast.
Tap a podcast to view details.
Tap Subscribe.
Once you subscribe to a podcast it will appear in My Podcasts. The latest episode of the podcast will also begin to download.
Podcasts app for iOS: Managing subscriptions - Apple Support
My Podcasts
Once you subscribe to a podcast, it'll appear in My Podcasts in the Podcasts app. Different parts and features of My Podcasts are described below.
View: Swipe down with one finger to switch between tile or list view.
Edit: Tap Edit to delete any podcast you're subscribed to or rearrange the order that your podcasts appear.
Subscription Details: When you tap a podcast that you're subscribed to, you can view the latest unplayed episodes under the Unplayed tab. If you tap Feed, you'll see all available episodes. If you've saved any episodes of podcasts you'll be able to view those under the Saved tab.
Notification badges: Once you've subscribed to a podcast, you may notice a badge on the Podcasts app. This shows the number of podcast episodes newly available since you last opened the app. Once you open the app, the badge will disappear until new podcast episodes are available.
If you're browsing your subscriptions in My Podcasts, you'll see red badges next to your podcasts if you're in tile view or just a number next to each podcast in list view. These badges show you the number of episodes of each podcast that are unplayed.
Settings
There are two places you can change subscription settings for your podcasts.
Default settings: From your Home screen, tap Settings and then Podcasts. These settings are shared by all of your podcast subscriptions. These are known as default podcast settings.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically if your iOS device is connected to Wi-Fi.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is turned on, episodes will delete 24 hours after you finish playing them.
Use Cellular Data: If your iOS device has a cellular connection, you can allow downloads to use cellular data when Wi-Fi isn't available. This is off by default. Downloads using cellular data are limited to 100MB per episode. If an episode is larger than that, it won't start downloading until you're connected to Wi-Fi.
Podcast-specific settings: The second place you'll find subscription settings is within the Podcasts app. Tap a podcast subscription under My Podcasts and pull down with one finger to reveal the settings buttons. These settings are unique to each subscription. If you don't change anything here, the podcast subscription will just use the default settings. If you do make changes to a specific subscription’s settings, they'll only apply to that podcast.
Play: This setting lets you change the order in which a subscription plays. If you're listening to a news style podcast, you may want to set this to play the new episodes first. If the series is more episodic, you may prefer to play oldest to newest.
Sort Order: This changes the sort order of episodes that appear for a podcast (not its playback order).
Subscribed: When this is on, new episodes of this podcast will be marked as unplayed as they become available.
Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically.
Delete Played Episodes: If this is on, episodes will be deleted 24 hours after you finish playing them unless you've marked them as Saved.
Inactive subscriptions
If you do not play or access a subscription within 15 days, your subscription to that podcast will go inactive and you will no longer receive updates to it. As soon as you access the subscription again it will refresh.

Play iTunes Playlists
If you sync your iTunes Playlists from iTunes on your Mac or PC, any playlist containing podcasts will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS. If you have a playlist that is a mix of music and podcasts, only the podcasts will show in that playlist in the Podcasts app for iOS.
Podcasts app for iOS: Playback controls - Apple Support
Podcasts for iOS: Sync podcasts - Apple Support
You can sync your podcast subscriptions, stations, and playback position between your iOS devices, computers with iTunes, and Apple TV.
Here's what you'll need:
An Apple ID. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7 or later.
Mac or PC with iTunes 11.2 or later.
Apple TV with Apple TV software version 6.0 or later.

Sign in with the same Apple ID on any computer or iOS device that you want to sync podcasts.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Tap Settings > Podcasts.
Turn Sync Podcasts on or off.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Store tab.
Select "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings."
Learn what syncs
When you sync podcasts, you also sync subscriptions, stations, and play position. Here's everything that syncs.
Subscriptions
Subscribing. Syncing podcast subscriptions will download the newest episode for each podcast that you're subscribed to (but not previous episodes for that podcast). If you download other episodes for a subscription on a device, they won't automatically download to your other devices. See how to transfer episodes and playlists.
Unsubscribing. If you unsubscribe from a podcast on a device, all of your other devices will unsubscribe to that podcast. If you subscribe to that podcast again, all of your other devices will also subscribe again.
Deleting. If you delete a subscription on a device, all of your devices will automatically unsubscribe to that podcast. If you delete a podcast on your iOS device, iTunes on your computer will show the message "This podcast has been deleted from another device, but has saved episodes."
If you click Resolve, you'll see the message "Do you want to delete or restore syncing of the podcast?"
If you want to keep any episodes that you saved on your computer, click Restore Sync on the message. The subscription will sync back to your other devices.
If you want to delete the podcast and all its episodes, click Delete. If you delete a podcast subscription on your computer, it will delete the subscription on your iOS devices, including downloaded episodes (unless they're marked as Saved).
Stations
When you create a station in iTunes on your computer or in the Podcasts app for iOS, it will appear on your other devices. Any station settings you change will also sync to your devices. If you delete a station on one of your devices, it’ll delete on every other device too.
Playback position
Podcasts can remember your playback position between devices and computers, so you can always start where you left off. If Sync Podcasts is on for your iOS device, playback position will sync. However, you might need to turn on this setting in iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Select iTunes > Preferences.
Click the Store tab.
Select "Sync playback information across devices." It may take a few minutes to sync.
Transfer episodes and playlists
Podcast episodes on one device don't automatically download to your other devices. If you want all your downloaded episodes to appear on your other devices, you'll need to sync your iOS devices to your computer over Wi-Fi or with a USB cable.
Connect your iOS device to your Mac or PC with iTunes.
Click the Podcasts tab.
Choose which downloaded podcasts should appear on your iOS devices.
To sync a playlist of podcasts to your iOS devices, select it under "Include Episodes from Playlists." The playlist will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS.
Click Sync.

HT1349 I have podcasts on my iphone that are not showing up in iTunes. I can't get the delete arrow on the phone and can't delete from iTunes. Any ideas?

I would like to delete a number of podcasts from my iPhone. They do not show up in iTunes and when I pull the arrow on the phone it does not give me a delete option. I am using a Windows 7 PC. Recently I had to restore my computer, when I first reconnected my iPhone I thought it might sync it and wipe out everything on my iPhone, but it didn't do that. The only thing that seems messed up is the podcasts. I do have an app called Bookmark that I use to listen to books and podcasts. Thanks for any ideas.

How do I get rid of a phantom podcast on my iPhone?

I subscribe to a number of daily podcasts. I regularly discard old episodes that I don't want by connecting the iPhone to my MacBook Pro and deleting them. In one of my subscribed podcasts there is a phantom episode showing on the iPhone screen, dated 23 August, that does not appear in iTunes when I connect the iPhone so I cannot delete it. It does not play when I select it. I have tried deleting the program altogether from my list of podcasts and resubscribing, but it still appears. I would not worry about it except that I suspect it is the cause of some problems I am having playing this particular program in the car. Any suggestions appreciated. Is there some way of deleting podcasts using the iPhone itself, rather than doing it through the computer? (iPhone 3Gs, 32 ghz, 4.3.5)

I had this problem on my iPhone 4S under iOS 6 after trying Apple's Podcasts app. I did not like it so I deleted and all the Podcasts reappeared in my iPhone's Music app. However there was a podcast for a popular show that remained. There was a description, no icon, and no content. I was unable to delete the phantom podcast by swiping left to right (which is normal behavior, but I thought I would try anyway) I tried resubscribing to the podcast with iTunes which just produced a usable file next to the phantom file. I deleted the subscription; the phantom file remained.
Then I came across a tip on another forum: On my iPhone I went into Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music (which is in the Storage list on that page). When you click on Music, it will take awhile for your iOS device to calculate and display everything. Once it displays everything, there is a section for Podcasts. you may need to tap "Show All" to see it, but in my case the phantom miscreant was there. I swiped to delete it successfully and have been phantom podcast free ever since.

HT1689 How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

How can I play podcasts on my iphone without using data?

I used to sync my podcasts to my phone individually, but found out that the Podcast app works better for me. It continously downloads the podcasts (not really sure when, that's the only thing, when its downloading it may use data depending on where you are) and also deletes the ones i have listened to. Hopefully that will help you out!

Is there a way to delete podcasts on an iphone without having them reappear on every sync?

I want to delete podcasts from my iphone after I am done listening to them, which works like a charm. The problem is that every time I sync, it download them again! For some reason the Iphone and ITunes refuese to talk to one another to ackowledge that I have deleted a particular podcast and Itunes dumps it right back onto my phone.
It's like a vampire that keeps coming back.
Is there a nice simple (Apple should be good at that...) way to delete them once and for all? I looked for a "When I delete songs I really mean delete" checkbox but there is none.
Why would they allow you to delete something if it will just come back and clog up your memory on the next sync?

joge2013.
Same thing here with me!!
I like to have auto download setting on my itunes so i get the latest 'Harvard Business Review' podcast. I started getting into podcats about 6 months ago and think they're great!
I downloaded them all as there is some catching up to do!
I want the latest podcasts downloaded.
Podcasts that I have listened to partly or fully gone off my iphone! and not synced back on
Podcasts that I have chosen to delete off my iphone, not synced back on (some weeks they discuss a topic which really does not interest me in my field.)
..I dont want to manually tick them all either!
Any help appreciated!
It seems to make perfect sense for me to manage these this way from my iphone (as a podcast is for listening on the go!), yet doesnt seem possible?

My own Battery Drain Issues on iPhone 5

Hello guys, I've just created an account here to share my many issues with iPhone 5.
Well, this wasn't my Apple's 1st product, as I've had Ipod touch 2g and 3g, as well as an iPhone 3g. But it's my first time experiencing crazy battery issues with an Apple product, wich is really sad and disappoint, since this is the MOST expensive cell phone in my country (Brazil).
It all started about a week after I bought my iPhone 5. One morning I was on the bus, going to work, and my iPhone had about 99% battery remaining. 1h20 later, when I arrived at work, I had about 80% battery, so I panicked.
Suddenly I realized I was a victim of the common i5 battery drain. I was loosing 1% battery each 3~5 minutes IN STAND BY. And my settings are the same as they've ever been: wi-fi off, 3G off, 4G off (since it's not available in Brazil), brightness on minimum, no weak cell phone coverage etc. So, I shouldn't be experiencing this at all.
After reading lots of threads around the web, I realized that the ONLY solution to this would RESET AND START YOUR IPHONE AS A NEW ONE. No backups, no deleting apps and data. Sometimes removing email accounts would work, but as I didn't use this stuff, restarting my phone seemed to be the solution.
So I did it and, apparently, my problems were solved. My phone has worked perfectly for 2+ months. And then I let it fully discharge - but it's was not the first time it' happened. After I recharged for 4h, I started loosing battery really fast again, so the battery drain have came back. It was so frustrating.
Then I sent my iphone to an authorized reseller and they manage to give me a new replacement phone. They've checked my old i5 and detected a battery issue. My charger and cable were also tested but they were ok.
Well, after the very first charge on my new phone - and I've set it up as a new phone - the battery drain started again. I couldn't believe it.
So now I'm waiting for my 3rd iphone 5 in 3 months...
PS: My original iPhone 5 was bought in the USA, and the replacement one came from Brazil. Both were running iOS 6.1.4 when the issues started.
After all that, here are my conclusions:
1) In normal conditions, with wi-fi, 3G and LTE off, you should expect your iPhone 5 to waste 1% of battery every 1h30~2h15 on STANDBY. This is based on my best iphone performance and on Apple's information: iPhone 5 should have 225h of battery time (in standby) at it's best. Since 100% = 225h, every 2h15min you should expect to "waste" 1% of battery, on standby.
Sometimes, overnight, your phone might have an even better battery life: my friend only lost 1% for about 8h/9h overnight. But this is just not common. Expect to loose about 2%~3% every night with all apps closed and no wifi/3G/LTE.
2) If you detect a battery drain, GO TO AN APPLE STORE/RESELLER RIGHT THE WAY. Don't even bother trying a reset, as I did, because it might solve the problem for a while, but it CAN come back. Go to the apple store and ask for a diagnostic of your phone and battery. It will save you a lot of time.
3) There are MANY causes to battery drains. The most common ones seem to be: 1- Push notifications/email related stuff -> Reset email, internet and settings. 2- Facebook app -> reinstall app. 3- Defective battery - go to apple store/genius and ask for a replacement phone.
4) If an iPhone comes from factory with battery issues, expect AT LEAST ONE other issue. My original phone's touch screen was unresponsive when charging on PC and connect to iTunes and my replacement phone's microphone was not working properly. So expect other defective parts
5) With my experience, I've realized I might have discovered A NEW CAUSE TO BATTERY DRAIN: A DEFECTIVE NANO-SIM CARD. Why? Well, because it's the only thing that I have used on both my iPhones (original and replacement ones). And it's the only thing thats has never been tested (both my charger and cable were tested on apple's reseller and were ok). And in my replacement phone, after I removed the SIM, I started loosing 1% battery every 1h20, when on stand by and with no wi-fi, 3G or LTE. So, if you have a battery issue CONSIDER THE SIM CARD TO BE THE PROBLEM.
Also, when my replacement phone was near any amplifier/pc speaker, it would make the amp make that "call or text incoming" sound. (to understand this, put your phone near an amplifier/speaker and ask for someone to call you). This makes me believe that the SIM card was, somehow, defective and making my phone receiving data (and I mean only telephone data, like related to calls and sms) when it shouldn't.
That's all my friends. If anyone has ever experienced this crazy issues, please try to help me. I'm getting a new sim card, iOS7 and my 3rd replacement phone and let's see if it works as it should.
Sorry for the MANY mistakes, my English is not good =\.
Cheers from Brazil!

Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                  16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                  32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........
