Podcast subscriptions on iPhone

I subscribe to a number of podcasts through iTunes and invariably listen on my iPhone. Since I can sync the phone with only one of my computers, I often find myself on the road without the ability to access the iTunes data linked to the phone. This problem will be exacerbated when my new iPad arrives and I have even less reason to lug around a MacBook Pro.
I realise I can manually download podcasts to the iPhone and do use this feature in emergency. But I believe it would be a big enhancement to allow subscription-based downloads in the iPhone OS. I presume the main reason this was not done was to conserve data traffic, particularly on 3G networks. One solution would be to download headers for subscribed podcasts so they could be downloaded as required.
Anyone have any views on this?

i agree, this would be a huge improvement. especally since i listen to 12+ podcasts, some of which update with two minute daily clips, some with hour long weekly audios. some that update randomly. it would be helpful if they instituted a similar means like they have with the app stores update section, where you can view all the latest episodes from subscriptions instead of having to go to your podcast section, click the cast, then click get new episodes for each one.
too bad that that's the type of thing that'll be for a big firmware update.

  • How do I move my iTunes podcast subscriptions to a new computer?

    I have a Dell computer running Windows XP.
    I just purchased an Inspiron laptop running Vista and want to move my podcast subscriptions (I have a lot of them) to the new installation of iTunes on the laptop.
    I cannot find any instructions on how to do this.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. - Love my iPhone!

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. On a PC the default location is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • 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.

  • ITunes stopps updating podcast subscriptions

    Hello!
    I use iTunes for a long time now to subscribe and archive podcasts, even though mostly I listen to them on my iPhone these days.
    So far everything worked fine, but a few weeks ago I noticed, that iTunes stopped the automatic update of some podcasts. These subscriptions were marked with a little exclamation mark. When I clicked that I got the following message meaning in English "iTunes stopped the automatic update of this podcast, because you didn't listen to an episode recently. Do you wish to continue automatic update of this podcast?".
    Since I normaly listen to podcasts these day on my iPhone and use iTunes mainly to archive some podcasts I like (some of them go back almost 8 years now on my hard drive) it can happen that I don't listen to episodes on my computer for weeks. But I still wish iTunes to update and download the latest episodes of some subscriptions in the background without me having to think about it.
    Now since I noticed this behaviour after about two months it caused me some trouble since I missed downloading some episodes that are not anymore in the feeds :-(
    Anyway, is there a way to stopp iTunes from doing that? Of course I answered the above question with "Yes" but now a few weeks later I noticed iTunes again stopping to update one of the podcasts.
    Maybe this behaviour was added with the best intentions but it is very annoying if it can't be turned off. So far I didn't find an option for that in the settings, is there one in iTunes for that?
    Thanks and greetings!

    iTunes will stop updating a podcast subscription if you have more than five episodes downloaded but not listened to, as detailed in this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23353
    which states:
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message:
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.
    There is an AppleScript available which will apparently deal with this (I've not tried it):

  • Podcast subscriptions vanished

    I have a bunch of podcast subscriptions in itunes on my pc. I tried to sync them to my iphone for the first time and because I had very few on my iphone somehow it deleted all my subscriptions that wasn't on my iphone from itunes and now I don't know how to get them all back. I've tried restoring an old libary file my from itunes directory but that still isn't bringing them all back. Any suggestions on how to restore all my subscriptions? Also how do I keep the iphone from overriding itunes. Thanks

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Are podcast subscriptions connected to the computer or the account?

    Until recently, my wife and I have been sharing a computer and an iTunes account with two separate iPhones. A couple of weeks ago I bought a MacBook. We both have different podcasts we listen to on a regular basis. Her podcasts are being downloaded to my MacBook and vice versa. If I unsubscribe and delete her podcasts from my MacBook, will they still update on the her computer? I really don't want stuff I don't listen to cluttering up my iTunes, but I don't want to stop her from getting her updates either.
    Thanks.

    As far as I know Podcast subscriptions are connected to the library. I assume you copied the entire library to the new MacBook. You should be able to unsubscribe from any podcasts you no longer want without affecting the other library, even it you both use the one account for purchases.

  • ITunes upgrade deletes all podcast subscriptions

    I just upgraded to 9.2, and afterwards, all of my podcast subscriptions had been deleted, which means that I have to go re-subscribe to them all. This isn't the first time this has happened with an upgrade. Talk about a royal pain! Is there something I'm supposed to back up before upgrading to avoid this?
    Thanks.

    Hey The Zach
    I would check what is set to sync in the Podcast tab in iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in. There may be a setting that may be removing it when you sync your iPhone with iTunes.

  • HT4623 how do you remove podcasts from the iPhone menu?

    I subscribed to a podcast on the iPhone, (from the iPhone itself) but now can't seem to remove it.  Any ideas?  There doesn't seem to be a way
    to unsubscribe from the podcasts on the iPhone or from iTunes.
    I have all the latest software.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks - but there are no episodes of the podcast itself.  It is the tile from the store that is clogging up space.  The podcasts themselves can be deleted - that's easy - but the subscription tile cannot - even though I am not subscribed anymore.
    The podcasts are not on my syncing computer's iTunes either, so can't be removed that way either.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT6546 How do you get podcast subscriptions to download on my iMac?

    I had several podcast subscriptions automatically downloading daily to iTunes on my iMac. When I installed Maverick they stopped and I can't find a way to get them started again. I looked for help on the iTunes site and all it talks about is in connection with a device and nothing about my computer. It tells me to click on things that do not exist and is totally worthless. I tried to resubscribe in the normal manner and it doesn't work beyond downloading a single episode while I wait. it only downloads at the speed of listening to it. How do I get these podcasts started again?

    The very first thing you should have done when you got the new External was to change to Mac compatible to Extended and Journaled then all will be well again. Get out the paperwork that came with the Drive and read it.

    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!

  • How do I find a downloaded podcast subscription that is not showing up in my library?

    I downloaded a podcast subscription and it will not show up in my podcast library in Itunes.  I tried to download it again but it says it is downloaded.  What can I do?

    Is the Podcast in iTunes U, which is a separate section within you iTunes Library? If you cannot see iTunes U on the left hand side, under "Library", click on Edit/Preferences/General>iTunes U (tick "on").
    Did you actually download this programme "as a Podcast" through the iTunes Store or by subscribing to the Podcast feed in Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast? Or did you get it from the show's website?
    Have you checked alternative spellings and even programme titles for the Podcast? (I have one programme, titled "Focus", but which appears under "BBC", who produced it!) Use the Search facilty to check your library.
    If all else fails, what is the title of the Podcast, perhaps that may help us find it?

  • Enhanced podcast (don't see chapter and pictures in podcast app on iphone or ipad)

    hi people !
    i create enhanced podcast, and try that podcast on itunes app on my pc. Everything work ok, except pictures but i know that this is bug with curent version of iTunes. Then i opet same m4a enhanced podcast in quicktime app on my pc, again everything work ok, i see chapters and i see pictures. Then i put same file on my server, i see that podcast in my podcast app on my iphone and ipad and when i stream it , i don't see pic and logo for chapters. when i scan my enhanced m4a podcast file i see that my file have: general,audio, video & menu section
    in first general section
    Format :
    M4A
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    this not working on podcast app on iphone or ipad !
    then i scan enhanced podcast file downloaded from podcast app from my iphone with working chapters and pic made with garage band on mac by someone
    and i see sections: general,audio, video and text 1 and text 2 sections (my not working does not have that last 2 , my last is menu section)
    Format :
    MPEG-4
    Format profile :
    Apple audio with iTunes info
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    look at format profile ! it says Apple audio with iTunes info !
    last thing is that i download from appstore app called Downcast, and try my enhanced podcast in that app wooow, everything work again ok when i stream, i see chapters i see pic. then at the end i download
    Podreel — Enhanced podcast authoring tool for Windows
    and try to build test podcast with that app, when i analyze enhanced podcast made with that app i see info say that podcast is made with garageband ??? this is fake tag made by podreel because podcast is made with podreel and not garage band, file made with podreel have this
    Format :
    MPEG-4
    Format profile :
    Apple audio with iTunes info
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    again format profile is same like one from that working.
    is podreel make fake tag because podcast app in iphone and ipad play exclusively enhnaced podcas make with garage band (podreel fake tag) or somebody know where I'm wrong. why my enhanced podcast don't play pics and chapters when is on iphone or ipad podcast app. i will write again that my file work on downcast app on iphone or ipad, work on pc in itunes, work on quicktime player etc work everywhere except there where i want to work in podcast app on iphone or ipad

    hehe if somebody knows something this is def you Roger about first thing with seeing pic in itunes i think that i read all possible posts on web in last 7 days and nights and this is not working on my pc with control-click (Windows) but i don't care ! i wait for apple do magic bug fixing on new itunes version. And now about main problem. iOS devices are capable displaying chapter images because this is working right now with some podcast on my phone, i give you pic example iphone 4 iOS 6.1.2
    in first pic you can see streaming podcast and chapters (little white dots on bar),second picture is first song with cover of single playing, and if you look close right from the clock zzz simbol is chapter logo, if you press it you will be see pic no.3 so this def working but working when you mad your podcast on mac with garage band ! that's why i write about format ids, tags etc
    http://i.imgur.com/vy33H9y.png
    http://i.imgur.com/g4P5iM1.png
    http://i.imgur.com/zDOIwrC.png
    i test your podcast episode 36 then episode 33 and 31 ! bad news my friend no chapters and no pictures only one main pic. but when i test your podcast in downcast app in my iphone wooo i see text i see your pic i see chapters i see everything. so that mean it's working everywhere like mine except iphone and ipad app and now we come to theory of garage band things tags in m4a files. you write that you have done all this in podcast maker not garage band. This is now real mistery to me !
    i analyze your file here and you have in last section menu1 and menu 2 so maybe problem is somwhere around this, not in format id because you have ok format id like one that working ok

  • 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?
