Syncing podcasts downloaded on my iPhone back to my mac - possible?

Am I missing something or am I not able to sync podcasts Ive dowoaded on
my iPhone back onto my mac? Seeing as though I'm not able to subscribe to podcasts on the iPhone I thought I would try downloading 1, syncing it back to my mac and then subscribing to it on the mac, but no! This seems to be just another of those really stupid things that apple have ommited from the iPhone software (unless I'm missing something)
thanks for any light you can shed on this issue!

Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
Good Luck

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

HT5295 Does anyone else have an issue with the way iTunes fails to properly sync a podcast downloaded to an iPhone or iPad when connected to iTunes later?

When I download a podcast directly to my iPhone or iPad and listen to it I expect it to reflect that status when I come home. Instead the podcast downloads again in iTunes and then wonderful joy it changes the status to unplayed and I wind up having to figure out what I've listened to and what I haven't (I listen to a lot of 'em).

I'm not having issues. What have you done to troubleshoot?

How do I erase entire podcasts downloaded on my iPhone?

I accidentally downloaded certain podcasts onto my iPhone, and I'd really like to purge it from my iPhone. How do I do this?
Please email me at [email protected] - Thanks.

You can delete a podcast from your iPhone by swiping your finger across the podcast to bring up the red Delete button. The same applies to deleting a video.
Or if the podcasts were transferred from your iTunes library on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you can remove the podcasts the same way - by syncing. Deselect the podcasts under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync. The same applies to removing music, video, and photos from your iPhone that were previously transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

8.1 won't sync Music purchases from my iPhone back to my iTunes Library

I have run into three issues since installing iTunes 8.1.
The first was the problem syncing Calendar data which many other folks have reported and which I resolved by setting iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone at the next sync.
The second is that I have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone and iTunes 8.1 doesn't seem to discover these songs during the sync process and they don't get copied into the iTunes library on my Mac. I never had a problem with this before in iTunes 8.0. The only thing that's changed is installing v8.1. So I currently have no way of backing up any tracks purchased on my iPhone.
The third issue is that syncing with my iPhone is generally more sluggish then it was in iTunes 8.0 - it takes longer to sync and the progress information in iTunes on my Mac is out of step (the spinning progress wheel next to my iPhone in the Devices pane disappears about 30 seconds before the progress at the top says that the sync has finished - in iTunes 8.0 these things happened at the same time which was reassuring).
Not being able to sync items purchased on my iPhone is a serious issue for me.
Does anyone know if I can revert to iTunes 8.0 safely (i.e. were any changes made to the iTunes library xml files or any supporting files in 8.1) - I have a Time Machine backup of my User Account from before the upgrade to 8.1 and I have only purchased a few tracks on my iPhone (not on my Mac) since.

I'm having the exact same problem with iTunes 8.1.1. I purchased one song from the iTunes Music Store app on my iPhone, now it won't sync (transfer) to iTunes on my iMac. Guess I need to downgrade too.

Sync old iMessage conversations from iPhone to new iPad & Mac?

I have had my iPhone for a couple years now, and have accumulated a fairly large amount of iMessage conversations from various people. A few days ago, I purchased my first iPad and also updated my Mac to Mountain Lion. By doing so, I now have access to iMessage on three devices in total, whereas before I only had one.
I have managed to setup my devices so that all new iMessages I send and receive are being synced between them. However, is it possible to sync my old iMessage conversations from my iPhone back onto my iPad and Mac?
I would like to do so in order to keep a full record of the past conversations I have had with my contacts.
I have done a bit of research before posting, but the only related topics I found werehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/19095937 andhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/17818920. The former was left unresolved, whereas the latter describes a solution which I am unable to reproduce.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Hi,
For me this was very early on in my Mountain Lion days.
I would now say that you cannot sync iMessages from an iOS device that were sent before your linked any Apple ID with the iPhone Number or added the Mac to the use of the Apple ID.
At the point at which and Apple ID is used on both an iPad and the Mac version of Messages becomes it's "Start date"
The same can be said for adding an Apple ID to an iPhone and the Mac.
On the Mac all messages can be saved if you wish.
This are in the .ichat format which you can send to Mac Buddies and then can open them and read them as if they were the chat (i.e they display as "chats').
There appears to be no way in iTunes to access the iMessages (or SMS ones) on the iPhone.
Someone who knows more about the iOS may be able to tell you if they are accessible another way.

Access my MacPro (1st gen/ML) with iPhone (Back to My Mac or VPN etc)?

i had a need the other day to send a file that was stored on my desktop.
does anyone know if i can get Back to My Mac working on my iPhone for a first generation mac pro running Mountain Lion or if there is an alternate method to have access to this HD from my phone (or my computer)?
THANKS

hi. sorry, first generation was referring to my mac pro which i think was unnecessary to nention in this context.
i have an iphone 5.
can you recommend one of the 3 for accessing files on my Mac Pro or MBP (when connected). are there big differences? costs?
anything that will let me access FTP?
THANKS

Accessing MBP and Mac Pro from iPhone (back to my mac? VPN?)

i am running Mountain Lion on the Mac Pro and Mavericks on the MBP and i am wondering if i have options for accessing these computers from my iPhone 5.
is this Back to My Mac and if so should i be able to access both computers from the iPhone while running this and what should i search for for setup instructions? or is this a utility only for getting back to my MBP running Mavericks from the iPhone or for getting back to my Mac Pro from my MBP? i am a bit confused about all of this.
also, does VPN get me something that Back to My Mac does not?
TIA for any help

Back to My Mac is for connecting from one Mac from another Mac with your iCloud account. iOS is not a Mac, so that isn't a supported feature – tell Apple you want it – http://apple.com/feedback/
A VPN is not the same as Back to My Mac. A VPN is a way to 'securley connect into a network from the outside' so that you can access your home network whilst away etc. VPN's can be created on computers or some routers. A VPN on a network can potentially allow you access to everything on that local network.
You should probably read up on what each of them is…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_my_mac
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vpn
You will need to explain what exactly you want to access - e.g. the files on the Mac, or use the UI to control the Mac (as if you were in front of it).
Apps like Screens can allow you some access to the Mac via iOS http://edovia.com/screens
You may find is much simpler to store required files in Dropbox & access them on iOS, it really depends on what you hope to access.
VPN's can be setup with Mac OS X Server, but that is probably not something to run unless you really need it (and have time to learn how to set up correclty - it will require you open up ports on your router which is a real security risk).

How can I sync my downloaded cds to iphone and ipad?

I used to be able to transfer all my music from computer to ipad, but much of it is gone, mostly the downloaded cds, but also much of my purchased tunes. I could not get it to iphone either now. I have all the proper things checked, but it does not work

I've done that a hundred times and it used to bring all my music over, but it does not do it anymore, only a few come over. If the newer was in the directions I would have found it that way

How can I get info off iPhone back onto my Mac

My computer had a heart transplant (hard drive replaced - lost everything . I now need to get my info (contacts, photos, tunes, calendar, etc.) off my iPhone (original generation) back on my hard drive. Can someone help me do this please? I was smart enough to update the iPhone a couple of weeks ago, but yet stupid enough of not to make a back up and keep it on an external. I really need the contacts off the phone and put back on the computer.

Can I transfer contact info from iphone back to my Mac?

Ok, now that I have organized and updated my iphone with all of my personal and business contact info, can I transfer all that info back to my Address Book on my laptop?

1) Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
After you have Edited your Photos...
2) Connect your iPad to your MacBook Pro and Sync the photos you want back on your iPad.
Read here...
In iPhoto create a New Album and call it something like ' iPad Pictures '... Put all the photos you want into that Album...
When Syncing with iTunes... Select that iPad Pictures Album and Sync.
