Way to get Podcasts app to take manually added podcasts without syncing?

Hi guys,
I listen to a lot of podcasts and I've been having all sorts of problems using the Podcasts app, it's a bit of a mess.
I don't want to even try to continue having it automatically sync with my library, this seems to create problems. I put some episodes on there, they seem to be there one day then the next day they're in the list but suddenly need to be streamed even though I added them and have not told the app to delete them.
Other times, even though I only added, say, 10 out of 100 podcasts for one show, I go into the list and all 100 show up with the little cloud symbol next to the 90 I didn't want. Then I have to go scrolling through to pick out the ones I actually intended to listen to. Is there somewhere to turn off showing un-downloaded episodes?
Wanting to re-listen to old episodes is a nightmare. I add them, they disappear everytime I sync the phone overall, even though I repeatedly uncheck 'sync podcasts'. Also, if I uncheck 'sync podcasts' after adding some and then sync - it clears every podcast off the phone, as if that's what I wanted.
Even after I uncheck 'sync podcasts', manually adding podcasts automatically causes podcast syncing to turn on. Why would Apple assume that's what I want if I'm manually adding podcasts. Why can't I just manually add the ones I want? That seems to be the only possible solution to all the syncing nightmares above and yet iTunes/the app won't allow it to happen.
Am I doing something horribly wrong or is this just a terrible app? I have looked into alternatives but none of them will sync with my itunes library. And don't even get me started on how iTunes itself handles podcasts now!

My iPod is a 3d gen nano so doesn't have independent downloading capabilities.

How can you stop the upgrade that you did on youtube so I can get it back or is there a way to get an app back once you delete it while it is upgrading

I want youtube back and I deleted it while it was upgrading but is there that you can cancel the upgrade that it is doing so I can have youtube back? is the a way to get an app back once you delete that app?

Again, all I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

My cousin told me there was a way to get free apps and that he could do it but what he really did was try to refund all my apps, the apps are gone from the history but no money has come back for me to even get the apps back, please help.

Do not try and rip off or steal from people or companies.
You have good cousin, there!(sarcasm)

Not unless the developer/Apple offer it again in the App store. You can only get apps from the App store.

Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work. The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page. Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin.
They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one. This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app. Thanks anyway for your help.

I have a new iphone. My sister now has my old Itouch. I keep getting her notes and mine are deleted - even without syncing!! We now have separate Apple Ids. Anyone know what can prevent this???

make sure the itouch does not have your apple id in the Settings>icloud menu. It is completely different from the App Store.

Is there any way to add a digital copy movie to an iPhone without syncing with my iTunes library? I use iCloud to sync, not iTunes. So when I go to sync movies, it deletes the other ones I already have loaded on the iPhone. Thanks.

HT5295 Is there any way to not use the Podcast App and still listen to podcasts? This app is a substantial downgrade to listening through the music player.

The Podcast App is terrible. It can't seem to keep track to what has or has not been listened to, it randomly restarts after pauses. I never had to use the App until this last upgrade and now I'm forced to. I would like to go back to listening to podcasts through the music player. Is that possible?
