Using the Podcast software.  How complex can it be?

So I am utterly confused by my Podcast software on the iPhone 5.  I haven't used this app before, so maybe its just newbie error. 
Issue #1: My data usage blasted through 4 gigabytes in 2 weeks since I started listening to podcasts (Ive been primarily listening to Infinate Ammo, an indie game dev podcast).  The "Use Cellular Data" setting is turned off under "Auto Download" in the podcast settings.  It seems like every time I listen to an episode, it is re-downloaded entirely racking up a 100mb charge whenever I resume playing in the car.  Any way to make the podcast app save the download for later use?
Issue #2:  I have also noticed that when I connect to my bluetooth in the car, and I drive away from my house, as I get out of range from my router, the episode will just switch to another episode as the network switches. 
Issue #3:  When I leave my car, after being connected on bluetooth, random events will make the Podcast start playing again.  For example, I got into work early today, and my alarm went off at my desk.   I hit OK and then my podcast started playing randomly. 
Issue #4:  This app seems to forget my place more often than I get into my car.  I am constantly guessing where I need to scrub to in an episode tp pick up where I left off.
Maybe its just me, but I expect a lot more usability out of something so simple.  Am I just doing something wrong?

Why do you think the date has been lost? If you export the photo from iPhoto the date the photo was taken is there in the EXIF data (simple EXIF viewer will let you see it - http://homepage.mac.com/aozer/EV/ )
My best guess is that you are confusing the file date with the photo date - they are totally different - photo programs like iPhoto use the photo date - file programs like the finder use the file date - they have no relationship to each other

    If you just need a copy of the software, then download the trial copy of Lr available from Adobe. On entering your serial number it will then become a full copy.

  • I share a macbook with my other half and we both use it for our iphones. When syncing using the new software I now have all of her and my contacts on my phone.  I don't want her contacts! How do I get rid?

    Hi,
    You have 2 solutions:
    1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
    2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
    You configure that in  Settings > icloud
    You activate or desactivate what you want.
    Have a nice day.

  • Can I use the Podcast app like the older iOS 6 Music Player?

    I've updated to iOS 7 and iTunes 11.1 and found that things seem drastically different.
    How i used to do podcasts:
    Subscribe to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
    Sync to iPhone using a cable
    What used to happen:
    Podcasts that were selected to sync did if there were unplayed episodes
    The Music player would list only those podcasts where there were unplayed episodes
    Now things have changed.  I immediately was told that none of my podcasts were playable without the Podcast app.  I downloaded it and installed it.
    What is happening now:
    Still subscribing to a podcast in iTunes on my Mac
    Sync to iPhone using a cable
    Podcasts showing unplayed in iTunes on my Mac = 46
    Podcasts showing unplayed in the Podcast app = 57 - the difference appears to be that the podcast app is showing non-downloaded podcasts
    Podcast app showing all podcasts whether or not there are any to play.  The list includes podcasts that are not supposed to sync to my phone.
    The Podcast listing appears to be in a random order (actual list shown)-
    Apple Keynotes (no episodes)
    This week in Photo (8 episodes)
    Jake and Amir (no episodes)
    Podcast Beyond (no episodes)
    Accidental Tech Podcast (no episodes)
    Vector (1 episode)
    Podcasts with no new episodes now show a new episode though it looks like the episode is not downloaded
    I'm not sure why what is being shown in iTunes is not being shown in the Podcast app.
    Is there anyway to get the old behavior using the Podcast app?

    Additional information.   Can this be right?
    I spoke to Apple support who said that the settings for podcast syncing in iTunes are no longer being used since Apple moved to their Podcast app. 
    This may explain why I see all 45 podcasts on my iphone when I only have 15 of them set to sync.
    She also said that I would need to manually sync listened/unlistened podcasts between my Mac and my mobile devices since podcasts were no longer being synced from iTunes.
    Can anyone verify?

  • Can Apple not force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?!

    Can Apple please NOT force people to use the podcast app if they dont want to?
    It is a horrific app.
    It uses data to play the podcasts which, once downloaded should not reqiure wifi to play!
    Fix it, otherwise stop forcing us to use it and allow us a choice!

    They do. There's lots of podcasting apps in the store, and you can erase the podcasts app and go back to the old way of playing them with the music app. Biggest downside is that you can't download podcasts on the phone without the podcasts app, so either do it on your computer or download the app, get the podcasts and erase the app. There's a few topics on here on how to do this. Search is your friend.

  • No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this?

    No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    I had to replace the hard drive in my old MacBook. I replaced it. Installed OSX10.6. Then using the system software I reinstalled data from my Time Machine backup. On completion it asked for my password. It is not accepted. I am locked out how I overcome this?
    I was already using 10.7. But only had the disc for 10.6.

    Sorry I am new to this. Am I in the right area? I am using my iPhone to make contact. I am worried.

    When i enter my apple id , a massagd appears and says that the maximum apple id use in this iphone, how i can enter my apple id on this?

    If you are entering an Apple ID in Settings>iCloud which has not yet been used to create an iCloud account then the phone will attempt create a new account.
    However the maximum number of iCloud accounts that any one device can create is limited to three - this is tied to the hardware and can't be bypassed. If you've already somehow created three iCloud accounts then you would have to create a new one on another Mac ior iOS device, and then you could sign into it on this phone.

    You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

  • I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them

    I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs.  when is the camera raw update coming out.  I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

    This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
    Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.
