Podcast Stuck

I have a pending Podcast in my IPhone Itunes that won't download because it's over 10mb. I'd like to clear it out as I'm getting lots of error msg's and don't care to have the Podcast so much that I want to continue getting the msg's about the size being over 10mb's. How do I clear this pending Podcast from Itunes on my IPhone?
Thanks!

31 minutes....and it is enhanced. That seems to be the key to it being stuck. When I hide the podcast track....leaving just the audio, it goes to iWeb no problem. But with the podcast track on- no.

I have a podcast 'stuck' on my iPhone 4

I have a podcast 'stuck' on my iPhone 4. The podcast in question encountered an error when downloading.
I can't remove this by sliding to delete on the iPhone itself (when I swipe nothing happens), or by syncing / removing via iTunes.
When I view Settings > General > Usage > Music on the iPhone the podcast does not appear there either to allow me to delete it. Is there any other way that I can remove this rogue podcast without resetting to factory settings?
Many thanks.
Robbie

hook up to itunes
locate your device in the sidebar, hit the triangle for the dropdown menu
click on podcasts (under your device name)
find the rogue podcast on the screen
click it and hit delete.
this should delete it manually

Podcasts stuck on repeat one

Hello, my iPod Touch is stuck on the "repeat one" function for any podcast I decide to listen to. I need to select the next one manually, which is very annoying. Anybody with the same problem ?
In iTunes, the podcasts are in various groups under Library > Podcasts. I have set 2 smart playlists to gather some unread podcasts.
On the iPod, I listen to the podcasts by selecting a podcast either in the podcast library ( Other button > Podcasts > *A group* > *A podcast* ) or in a playlist ( Lists button > *My smart list* > *A podcast* ).
Already tried : there is no "repeat" or "repeat one" icon I can click on to cancel this. I found no other settings on the iPod that could revert this "repeat one" function. I have reset the iPod to the factory settings, it didn't help.
I have no idea why the iPod does this. I'm out of ideas and any help would be very much appreciated !
The iPod Touch is a 8 GB iPod from 2007, version 3.1.3 installed.

My wife's Touch has started doing the same about 1 week ago for no obvious reason. There doesn't appea to be any info on this. I will try a reset, then remove the last album added. Bizarre - must be a firmware/software issue.

GB3 Exporting Enhanced Podcast: Stuck at "converting"

I'm trying to share>export a podcast with three images, and it starts to export.
It does the mixdown
The blue thing goes to the right for 'converting'
But now for the past 15 minutes It's been stuck at 'converting'. (where white/blue lines rotate)
Basically it is not exporting anything.
It does export the song if I turn the podcast track off.
Image is a 28k JPG
What can I do?

and it doesn't matter if I try to export it to iweb, itunes or disk. it keeps the rotating lines thing.

Longtime Podcaster Stuck In Byte-Range Purgatory

Hey guys,
I'm trying to do something that seems impossible on my end - get audio podcasts to download on iOS in the default podcast app.
So far I've transcoded 800+ episodes to .m4a, checked for byte range, edited .htaccess, removed redirects and most recently tested on iOS 6 and 7 on Verizon, AT&T and over wifi.
Verizon (iOS7): downloads like a champ - instant playback
AT&T (iOS6 & 7) iPad and iPhone: Error
Wifi (iOS6 & 7) iPad and iPhone: Error
Feed: http://croncast.com/episodes.rss
Actions taken to remedy:
Transcode all .mp3 to .m4a and only send .m4a enclsosure to iOS devices
Edited .htaccess to add
<Files *.m4a>
Header set Accept-Ranges bytes
</Files>
Tested .m4a header
$ curl -I -r 200-300 http://www.croncast.com/1a4/cks-2013-09-23.m4a
HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content

Last-Modified: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 22:54:37 GMT
ETag: "52b8001-2b79023-4e714e78d4540"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 101
Content-Range: bytes 200-300/45584419
Connection: close
Content-Type: audio/mp4
Maybe there are enough clues in what I've posted here that someone can see a reason why the downloads of the .m4a files fail. I hope so. The files work with Instacast just fine.
Is it possible that the media files themselves have problematic metadata in them, like image? If so, how would I test that?
Any direction to take this would be very much appreciated!
Cheers, Kris

thanks for the quick reply, roger.
yes, mp3 do not work.
about the feeds, they're dynamic php and respond according to the device making the request and for iOS devices the flavor the enclosure is .m4a
example:
if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPad') || strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPod')) { $iFile = str_replace(".mp3", ".m4a", $publicmedia); echo "<enclosure url=\"http://www.croncast.com/1a4/" . $iFile . "\" length=\"" . $pms . "\" type=\"audio/mp4\"/>\n"; } else { echo "<enclosure url=\"http://www.croncast.com/fulla/download/" . $publicmedia . "\" length=\"" . $pms . "\" type=\"" . $pmt . "\"/>\n"; }
i did run the curl test on the .m4a and from what i read it is byte-range enabled. i am basing this in the same output that i saw in successful repairs by others. am i missing something?

The podcast stuck and i can't delete from my iphone

I try to download podcast but there was an error. Then when i open my podcast it was there but it didn't play.
Also i can't delete it. Anyone has an idea about that error. How can i delete it?

Go into iTunes and check "Sync Podcasts" then sync, uncheck "Sync podcasts" and sync, than do it again and it should take care of everything. Worked for me
Or just go into Settings -> General -> Usage and Select music - than hit delete and re sync from iTunes. That will clear all the audio caches from the phone

Iphone podcast download errors

So I'm having issues regarding podast download, I can download them fine via itunes but when I try on my iphone 4s i get the message 'the podcast cannot be downloaded' yet it does download and goes on my iphone then I end up with it stuck in the download window as an error, see pics below:
as you can see there are 2 podcasts stuck there in my downloads as an error and I have no way to remove them, yet in the next picture as you can see it's downloaded and playing.
Now even when I sync my iphone with itunes it has no way to remove these errors so I have these podcasts stuck trying to download even though I have them on my iphone and playing, which in turn uses up my download allowance and it's constanlty trying to download the podcasts but then also errors itself.
Any idea's as this is very annoying and also using up my monthly download limit?

The Iphone 4 has been having trouble with ios 7. I have heard of it being slow while performing certain tasks

Downloads stuck in queue. Please help.

I have two podcasts stuck in my download queue. They have never been able to download. I have contacted iTunes support and they have told me that the downloads have been deleted on their end from my iTunes account but they are still stuck on my iPad. Any suggestions on how to delete them from my iPad? Here is a screen shot of my queue.

These "fixes" have worked for other users when I have suggested them, but I saw a very similar post to this one a day or so ago and none of them worked for that user. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained ......
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can finish the downloads in iTunes on your computer - launch iTunes and got to Store>Check for available downloads - finish the downloads in iTunes and then sync the iPad.

Question About "Manually Manage Music and Videos"

Hi!
I have a podcast stuck on my iPod. It is not deleted from a Playlist upon syncing, even though I've deleted it from the Playlist in iTunes. It still shows up in the "On My Device" representation of the Playlist, and of course, on the iPod itself. So I thought to manually delete it, but of course it's name is obfuscated in the iPod's directory. So I thought that maybe I could do it by selecting "manually manage music and videos" in iTunes. Presumably files would become human readable then, yes?
Here's my question: What will happen to all the content already on my iPod via syncing if I check that box? Will it all (all 140 GB) disappear and have to be re-synced? Or can I check that box, go in and delete the one podcast, then uncheck the box, all without affecting the rest of the content already on the device?
TIA for your help!

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

Zen 8Gb freezing on res

I used ZenCast to get a bunch of podcasts from NPR and transferred them to my Zen 8Gb. These files when transferred show up under the Video menu after transfer. Whenever the unit shuts down after I've paused it (either idle timeout or deliberate shutdown), when I try to resume that file the unit freezes. This happens every time without fail.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Or have I just been stuck with a defecti've unit's It was upgraded to the latest firmware (.03.04 or whatever it was). I'm expecting it's a software issue, personally, but if so someone else will have run into the same problem.

Well, after some fiddling with different setups I found a solution to the podcast freezing problem on my Zen. Just for the record I'm using the latest version of ZenCast organizer Suite ( v2.00.4). I noticed that if I manually dragged and dropped the?podcast .mp3 file into the music directory on the?Zen it worked fine. Shut down the unit, fire it up again and it worked without a hitch. if the same file is dragged to the Zencast directory it can't be seen by the Zen at all. It seems only files that have a .avi or .wmv extension appear in that display. My?mp3 podcasts were all being given a .avi extension. To fix the problem, I connected?the Zen to the PC and started up?the ZenCast Organizer software. Select Transfer and a pop-up menu of all?the podcasts transfer options appear. Deselect the Audio Conversion option towards the bottom of pop-up. As per the comments this will then place the podcasts in the music menu item on your Zen. I've tried a dozen different podcasts and they work fine. This solves the freezing problem,?but then?leaves the podcasts stuck amongst all the music. I'd rather have them separate in the Zencasts directory, or (even better) a dedicated podcasts directory. Did Creative intend podcasts to be stored in the Music menu?To me it still looks like an issue/fault if you can't resume playing your .mp3 podcasts in the Zencast directory that the creative ZenCast software transferred them to. Anyone else had any luck?

App downloads frozen on "waiting..." even after reboot.

A few days ago I had a download from app store freeze on waiting status. I tried restarting ipad2 and "hard reboot" as stated from some ppl in forums using both home and sleep buttos but still no luck. I tried also downloading other apps which also froze on waiting and even deleting the initial "problematic" app. Still apps are on waiting status a few days now and no reboot helps. Any other suggestions? I use ios 5

Thank you for your replies.
@marianfromspringwood, yes I am on a wi-fi, I don't own the 3G version
@desmond 31, clicking on the app doesn't bring anything up. I can only delete it but that doesn't solve the problem.
I also found out that I have podcasts stuck also on downloading state and won't go further. Those I can not delete.
@abilash432 I think that's what I'm going to do. Sounds Like a way to go for PCs and a device as simple as an iPad should not have problems like that.
@diavonex, I did connect it with iTunes on my putter but I don't see how I can complete the downloads there. Any more info on that?

Podcasts are "stuck"; keep getting the same podcasts no matter what

Greetings,
Gee, it seems the only problem I ever have with my iPhone is syncing. And it's started again.
I have subscriptions to about 30 podcasts, about half of those are checked to sync with my iPhone. About a week or so ago, I would listen to a podcast but when I synced with iTunes it would get marked as "new" again, reset, and stay on the iPhone. If I manually deleted it on the iPhone, the next sync would copy it back.
I've have this kind of problem in the past and it eventually just corrected itself, so I've just ignored the problem for several days.
Now it's gotten completely stuck. Trying to get the iPhone and iTunes to "re-sync" I turned off several podcasts in Podcast tab of iTunes and synced. Nothing happened. The podcasts are still on the iPhone. So I manually deleted from the iPhone and synced again. iTunes copied the disabled and deleted podcast bask to the iPhone!
So I tried to get radical. I reset and restored my iPhone from backup. Turned off all podcast syncing. All of the podcasts were still on the iPhone. I then turned podcast syncing back on, but unchecked every one of my regular podcasts and then check one, and only one, podcast that I normally never listen to on the iPhone. I then manually deleted +every single podcast+ on the iPhone. When I synced with iTunes, *iTunes (again) copied every single one of the disabled podcasts back to the iPhone!!!* Oh, and the one podcast I asked iTunes to put on the iPhone; it's not there. ;(
How can I "reset" the synchronization of podcasts between my iPhone and iTunes so they're talking to each other again? And please don't say wipe your iPhone—I have dozens of applications with settings and data that would all be lost. It would be easier to give up podcasts than the day it would take me to reconfigure every iPhone app.

I appear to have found a fix.
I changed my sync settings to 'manually manage music'.
Once i applied this the podcast icon underneath my device disappeared.
I then unchecked 'manually manage music' and applied the change.
the podcast icon underneath my device in itunes flickered on and off a few times then when it was finished syncing all the podcasts had gone.

Bug in 12.1.1.4 Podcasts Not Downloading Stuck in Clould

Longtime itunes user through many versions I'm on windows 7 64 bit. Upgraded a while ago to 12.1.1.4 and now podcasts are not downloading and stay stuck in in the cloud unless I manually click on the podcast to download the individual podcast episodes.
These are my settings:
These should be downloading them, they are not. Apple this is a bug and needs to be fixed. It seems like this happens in every other version of itunes that you folks put out. What is the deal? I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing without deleting the podcast and that usually managed to somehow make itunes recognize that it would be downloading them. That does not work as a workaround/trick anymore. Really need an actual fix for this folks.

Well, I guess I have been somewhat lucky then - I have been using iTunes since version 9 (so quite a while but not a super long time) and I haven't had many issues, and none that weren't resolved by just resubscribing. I've also had pretty good luck with the podcast app, and it seems like that gave a lot of people grief.
I concur though that the "feature" to just randomly shut off updates is awful. But it is so typical of how they operate. They tell you what you want and how it will work and that's it. Don't like it, then too bad, which makes it so frustrating, especially if you're not 100% Apple all the time. Add one feature, take two others away. I have gotten to the point where I try not to let it bug me.
The problem is that there isn't much else out there that reliably syncs play counts and last-played timestamps back to a central library AND has smart playlists - which is the #1 reason I like the iPhone/iTunes combo. The Zune and Zune player was the closest thing, and even that was pretty bad. It didn't sync last played timestamps and its playcounts were all over the place. It was way better for podcasts though. I have an Android music app and windows client that syncs play counts pretty well, but it does it to iTunes - no other windows music app. I've always wished Winamp would have come out with a great iOS/Android music app that sync'd play activity, but nothing so far and I'm not holding my breath.

HT1725 I am having problems getting rid of old podcast downloads that never fully downloaded and now are just stuck in my account.

I tried to download a tv episode and a podcast awhile back and the tv episode didn't fully download due to a poor Internet connection. The podcast just didn't want to download for no reason as that was done another day with excellent connection but both didn't want to download even after I retired many times again using many methods I read on here? Now they just won't go away and just show up on the Downloads section of my account on iTunes and don't know how to get rid of them. I don't even care that I paid for the tv episode I just want them both gone. Any help on how to delete them both from my account? They just keep saying that there both are unable to download at the time when I tap on the download tap. It's been over 3 or more months that they just are stuck there.

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
