Scrubber bar now works for songs but no longer for podcasts

All of a sudden, my scrubber bar does not move from the start position when listening to podcasts. I if touch it, it will restart the podcast, also, the progress bar does not move, and the time on the podcast stays at 0:00 even if it is playing. Regular fast forward and rewind work fine, and the scrubber bar functions normally when playing songs.

This only happens with podcasts you downloaded directly to your phone and then synced on itunes, right?
Here's what I posted elsewhere...
This has been a problem for me for awhile, getting the --:-- on the scrubber bar, not being able to forward through the podcast. And not just on iphone 4. It happens on my Ipad and happened on my old iphone --so its not a IOS 4 problem exclusively.
Anyway, _I have figured out a rather convoluted solution to this problem_. Bear with me, it's going to seem silly and excessive.
So... when you sync your phone/ipad to your itunes, 1st thing to do is "transfer all your purchases" (if you dont know how to do this, control-mouse click on the iphone/ipad icon when it pops up in itunes)
This will transfer all the podcasts that you had downloaded directly to your phone back to itunes.
Then (and you only have to do this once) make sure "sync podcasts" is checked off under the PODCASTS tab -- the tab related to your phone, not the PODCAST tab for the stuff on your Itunes desktop/laptop.
Then comes the really silly part. You have to manually click on any of the podcasts you want to go back to your phone. The ones you directly had downloaded on your phone and the ones you downloaded through itunes.
They will sync back to your phone and work fine, scrubber bar works now, the time is correct, it lets you fast forward etc...
I have a bunch of podcasts but probably not as many as most so its not that annoying for me to have to manually click on the ones i want back on the phone the right way. I'm sure this solution probably is too silly for those who have tons of podcasts and dont want to have to reclick on every one just because they hooked up to itunes. But it is a solution of sorts.
I"m hoping Apple will fix this little glitch at some point but until then this is what I came up with. Interested to hear if anyone has a simpler solution or if this works for other people too. Thanks.

  • Lync - Can I disable video for P2P but enable it for conferencing?

    Can I disable video for P2P but enable it for conferencing?
    I know this is an odd request but can anyone help me find any information that confirms if this is possible or not?

    Actually there is an extended policy introduced with one of the previous cumulative update.
    Having applied the latest CU on both server and the clients, IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf policy would enable the exact behaviour.
    Before running the cmdlet below for a client policy, please confirm that that AllowIPVideo is set to True and EnableP2PVideo is set to False for that user.
    set-csclientpolicy IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -PolicyEntry @{add=New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name IgnoreEnableP2PVideoPolicyInConf -Value 1}
    Hope that helps
    Perfect

  • Airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro., airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro.

    I have a MACPRO, LION (10.7.2).
    It used to work with an airport express.
    My iphone works with the express, my wfie's macpro works with it, but mine seems to have quit
    recognizing it as something with which to play music, so the option to select airport express
    in itunes no longer is there.

    I'd first try cycling power on the AirPort Express.  If that doesn't help, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate ones for everything else.  How do I change the others now.  We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

    We had one family apple id.  I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate for everything else on the cloud. How can I change the other apple ids now? We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

    Hi, thank you for this post.  I hope you might be able to help me too? 
    I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas.  New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
    In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally.  I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
    Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
    Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
    Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
    cloud, contacts, facetime, email -  this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
    Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
    Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you or other potential advisers in advance.

  • HT201359 My MasterCard bill for my iTunes song purchases are always moreo than what I bought. I only buy one song at a time or buy new levels for candy crush at .99 or 1.29 for songs, but there are times when my mc bill shows iTunes bought for 7.39 or 6.2

    I use iTunes for songs and to buy more levels on candy crush. My bill is to MasterCard, but each month my iTunes is for more than what I think I purchased. I recently had to change my mc number. It was a new number so I changed it on my account. When I buy a song I get an email but sometimes my bill shows for more than .99 or 1.29, it might show for 7.00 or more and when I call the number on the iTunes account I can never speak to an actual person. What should I do?

    Sometimes iTunes clumps bills together... look inside the email to see if there is a list of what you purchased. If you notice when you make a purchase it never comes out right away.. .its sometimes a week later before it comes out or you get an email. If during that week you purchased other items itunes may bill those together.

  • HT4915 Hi,I downloaded songs from icloud in itunes,so i could download them onto my wifes i shuffle,how can i now put these songs back on icloud for protection as they were? Appreciate any suggestions,thank u, Simon from kent

    Hi.I downloaded songs from my i tunes,that were in icloud,so as i could transfer them onto my wifes i shuffle,how can i now put these songs back into icloud ,appreciate your suggestions,thank you.Simon from kent

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Lens Exif metadata worked for KM but no more for Sony cams

    Playing with the metadata panel in Aperture 2.1, I was surprised to see the information for the lens manufacturer/model for some shots I did with my old Konica-Minolta 5D DSLR.
    Sony took over the Konica-Minolta DSLR system about 2 years ago and as many others I have since moved to a Sony A100 body and recently to an A700 body.
    Using the very same lenses, that give me detailed lens Exif metadata with the old Konica-Minolta 5D, the metadata field is empty with Sony A100 and A700 files.
    A bit annoying, that the 4 years old Konica-Minolta 5D is supported in Aperture, while the follow up models from Sony are not.
    Hope this will be fixed in the next update.
    Peter

    Steve,
    you are probably right, that Sony is encoding the lens data in a somewhat non standard way.
    But as far as I know, in the EXIF of the Konica-Minolta files, this was done as well in a non standard way, by storing a binary lens code (at least I don't find any plaintext lens data in the image file, when I peek into it with a low level file-editor like Hexedit). As the lens information is displayed in clear text for the Konica-Minolta files within Aperture, Apple must have already integrated a lens database holding data for Konica-Minolta and Sony lenses. Interestingly even new Sony lenses like the Carl-Zeiss 16-80 lens show up, when used on an old Konica-Minolta DSLR.
    For me it looks like Sony might store the same lens-code now in a different proprietary EXIF field but Aperture is still looking into the old Konica-Minolta EXIF field, which is non existent or empty.
    So yes, Sony probably broke it, but there was enough time for Apple to fix it, especially as they have updated the lens database all the time. It is weired to add all recent Sony lenses to Aperture's lens database, but make the data only available, if you use the lenses on a 5 years old Konica-Minolta body.
    So I repeat my request for Apple to fix this in Aperture soon.

  • Airplay works with Remote but cuts out for every other App

    Remote works perfectly fine but whenever I try another AirPlay app it cuts in and out.  Driving me crazy. I have att wifi with an airport express.  Any ideas?  Why would AirPlay work with Remote but fail with every other app?

    Remote does not use AirPlay.

  • HT1567 trying to preview song but only plays for 5 seconds

    When i preview a song it will only play for 5 seconds instead of the 1min/half it allows. I 've never had this problem before. I update the software, but it still will not allow me to listen to the song no more tham 5 seconds

    I have had this problem for quite awhile.  Sometimes the preview plays all the way through, or not.  I had it in the previous version and now the new version.  There is no help from Apple/iTunes.  It seems odd that WE must continue to try and find the solution to THEIR errors without any comments or help from Apple. 

  • I paid for songs but I am not allowed to burn them to CD?

    I will try and make this as short as possible. Itunes always reminds you to back-up your songs in the event of an accident (hard drive crashes, etc). Therefore, I did just that a while back (backed up all of my songs to my external HD).
    recently I did a system restore on my PC that wiped out everything and started me from scratch. I was not worried because I backed everything up. I re-added most of my songs again from the external HD, but now it won't let me burn them to CD. It is saying something along the lines of this computer is not authorized to burn the songs. What I don't get is, I have burned these same songs before on a CD in the past. Why can't I burn them now? I have to assume it has something to do with me backing them up to my external HD since I never had this problem before. Thanks in advance for your help

    Authorize the computer from the Store menu. Authorization information isn't stored in the iTunes backups.

  • 7.4.2.4 Muxed MPEG-1 now works in iTunes but Convert to iPod doesn't?

    Hi All (go easy this is my first post here)
    I've done some searches and I know that mux-ed MPEG-1 files used to loose their sound when imported into iTunes. This looks like it is now fixed in iTunes 7.4.2
    eg the example file supplied davidelasalashowreel2005 which is MPEG-1 MUXed imports fine into iTunes.
    But if you hit the "convert to iPod" it looses sound in iTunes and in the iPod (nano3)
    How does this fit the statement "if it works in quicktime it will work in the iPod?"
    Other than spending another $50 for quicktime Pro are there any other fixes for this?
    I just want to import an AVI of my kids singing Happy Birthday onto my wife's birthday present - why is it so hard?
    regards

    Unsolved till yet. I´ve read all the other threads touching this theme, but nothing substantial. No solution. No comments of Apple.
    I´ve take a look into the files with Wordpad and I can see the lyrics inside the files. But, again, with the iPod nothing except the title.
