Updated to OS4; podcasts UI now has a problem

After updating my 3GS to OS4 certain podcasts (e.g., those from NPR like CarTalk) exhibit a UI bug. While playing (or fast forwarding) the time display doesn't change - fixed at 0:00, and the scrub bar is totally disabled - can't select and shuttle back and forth. Before I take my phone to a genius bar I wanted to know if others have experienced this, and if it's a known bug which will be fixed in an update.

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.

  • Our apple desktop has hard time getting online after firefox was updated early August- the home pc has no problem, apple had no problem until firefox update.

    Home has two desktop computers. Modem and router are near PC in front of house. Apple desk top is in rear location of home. Early August, 2011, firefox was updated from front computer. Since then, apple computer has had inconsistent online experiences. Sometimes it is not possible to get online while front PC has not problem. This is annoying for the apple user. And the problem started only after updating Firefox. Please help! Thnx.

  • On my ipad when i try to update apps my apple id now has a different email address which is not listed on my account?

    on my ipad when i try update my apps my apple id email is changed from my icloud to my ymail. all though i have never used or registed with my ymail email i only have my icloud email listed in my account

    Sounds like you may have originally been connected to the store, with your Ymail apple ID, and would need to change it back to this, in order to update.

  • I updated to Mountain Lion and now I have problems

    After I updated to Mountain Lion my iphoto, imovie, numbers, pages,keynote will not open it has an error that says, You can’t open the application “Pages.app” because it is not supported on this type of Mac.What do I do now?

    I've read that if you update to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 this behavior has been "fixed."
    Most users blame the implementation of Save As… as not working as it has in the past. I believe the issue is that autosave will save all changes but you can revert the original document to a previous version. Click the small triangle next to the document name in the title bar & choose browse all versions.

  • Updated to OS X 5 & now with printing problem

    Just updated from OS X 3.8 to OS X 5.0 and then thru 5.8. I have a G-5 Dual 2.5 from the old power days and HP Office 5500.
    So far everything has worked fine except that I can't print docs such as Word, Excel or pdf.
    The G-5 is communicating with the printer, test's work etc and printer makes noises and then does nothing for doc excel or pdfs. and then que's them up. I get this error message
    "/private/var/spool/cups/d00517-001'"
    I got the error message before and after I up dated my HP driver software.
    Please help!! Thanks

    "tx" a brody for the link but a couple of weeks later I still haven't solved the problem.
    I've gone to various links and finally again? downloaded new HP driver software... the latest available 10.4... no 10.5 and of course 10.6 won't work.
    At least before the printer would click and whirr and act like it was ready to print.
    Now I don't even get that . Nothing.
    Please anyone... I need to print some things and now more than willing to pay for getting it to work.

  • Mail delivery error with 5510 e-print. updates and connection are ok. friend has same problem.

    I have checked all of the updates and connections for my new printer.  As far as I can tell, I've checked everything that needs to be checked and all is good.  But, I still get the Mail Delivery error when e-printing.  And my friend has the same problem with her new 5510 b111a.  What could possibly be the problem?  Regular printing, scanning and so on work fine with my wireless connection.
    This question was solved.

    So it sounds like it may be an Issue with the provided Email Address from your internet service provider, you are sending from ,
    What i would suggest as a test is to create a Email account either with g mail and or yahoo, and try to send the email to your eprint account/Email, and see if it accepts the email also, make sure you have your printer set to Accept email from all users you can do this by logging into Eprint Center and then going into these settings and selecting that option
    I am an HP employee.

    how many other are 100% now?

    Ok ive just got all mine sorted and it seems to be working correctly now, i was getting read outs of 80c on load and 60 normal, but ive got it down to 70 normal (going to flash the ram in a moment to see if that helps)
    Ive used a combination of things to cool it down, sat down and wrapped all the cables up with spiral wrap.. moved all cables away from the motherboard and fans and placed around the edge of the case... mounted a fan over the PCI slots.. sounds odd but its working a treat and not much difference in noise.
    But my Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu was not tight to the CPU which i didnt notice until i was mounting it back on with the supplied black bracket and back place.. I realised the bracket was to high and i couldnt screw it down enough without the feet for the bracket digging into the board.. i took it off and screwed directly onto the plate.. all was well didnt over tighten but got it so the cpu fan wouldnt move.
    I was going to replace the bracket when i built the machine a coulpe of days ago but they looked identical (at the time) so decided not to.. am i going to have problems are as its working it will continue to work fine? (which is what i think)

  • Restored ipod..now has other problems!!

    A few days ago I turned on my ipod and it had the folder with the caution icon so I attempted to plug it back in and restore it but it told me it could not be restored. I then followed the instructions to reset it and then I was finally able to restore and update the software.
    I left it to charge until the ipod was fully charged and then attempted to upload all the music from itunes back on my reset ipod. It wouldn't load! It was just stuck on "Uploading song 1 of ____, Do not disconnect". I pressed eject and I got the spinning beach ball of doom so I had to just force remove it. Is this an issue with my ipod or my itunes?!?!

    Hi Kelly!
    It sounds like the root of the problem is your iPod, not neccesarily iTunes (since your iPod had the and folder on it in the first place).
    Let's see, try putting your iPod into disk mode, then proceed to try restoring it in iTunes again.
    If you attempt it one more time, it just might work.
    If you still get frozen up when syncing the iPod after the restore again, don't disconnect it from the computer yet, but click on the little "x" in the top-middle area of iTunes, where it displays messsages.
    Then, after you've clicked on that, the sync should stop. Try ejecting your iPod from your computer (if it will), then disconnecting it.

  • Computer crash- now has export problems

    I have premiere pro cs3. My computer crashed, so I did Format c: and rebuild.  Most things worked, first time, without fail...some did not.  I can no longer export to adobe encore,  It says "failed during loading default preset"  I can export the movie as .avi and import.. but...I want things back to the right way, the proper integrated setup needs to be back in place.. HELP please..... and thank you...

    This is a known bug by Telestream the makers of Flip4Mac in Quicktime 7.2 and they are currently working on a fix for it. However, you have already stumbled on their workaround: change the audio to 44.1 then export. The only other thing you can do is revert to a lower version of Quicktime.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    I use Lightroom 5 (update)on my PC. Now I want to use Lightroom also on my notebook but it has no CD-drive. Who can help me - Wilhelm Habermalz

    The easiest way would be to download the trial version, and then use your existing serial number to activate.  Or, if you have already downloaded the update to use to update your original installation, you could copy the file that you downloaded to a flash drive and use it on your other computer.
