What happened to my podcast playlist in iOS6?

I updated to iOS6 and noticed my podcast playlist disappeared. I listen to a number of programs while I run long distance and do not want to stop, find the next podcast, then forward. Suggestions?

this change is driving me crazy! I never used the smart playlist, since I don't just want the "iPod" in my phone to play "all podcasts I haven't yet listened to", I want to hear them in my selected order of "urgency". for example BBC:s global news come out twice a day so they of course get priority over the movie podcast that coumes out once a week and the documentary that comes out once a month. since I listen to podcasts for hours and hours per day - while doing all my chores, driving and on dogwalks - it would mean a lot of unpractical or even dangerous maneuvres to pull up the podcast app & press play again

What happened to "Mark Podcast as unplayed" in iTunes 11?

What happened to "Mark Podcast as unplayed" in iTunes 11?
When i download a podcast, i don't necessarily want to listen to it immediately on my MacBook -- I want to listen to it later on my iPhone. But sometimes iTunes starts playing it. Even if I stop it immediately, iTunes still marks it as "played", and won't send to the iPhone when I sync.
There used to be an option to mark a podcast as unplayed, but that's gone in iTunes 11.
How do I do mark a podcast as unplayed now?

I can't find "Mark All Played/Unplayed" but if you tap "Edit", you can select as many episodes as you want, and then mark those selected episodes as Played/Unplayed.

Any webspace that provides enough data transfer to cope with your podcasts will do fine. Although check the terms & conditions of whichever webhost you go for, as some may have restrictions on just using their webspace for externally linked files, rather than a website as well.
How much data transfer your podcasts use will depend on how popular they are. MobileMe webhosting allowed 200GB of data transfer per month. If you never went over that, then as long as the new host matches or exceeds that you'll be ok.

What happened to the Podcast fast forward 15 sec function in the lock screen? It went away when I upgraded to iOS 7.1.

I thought the same thing, until I saw there is a podcast update as well in the app store, that fixes this.

When i try to open itunes, System Error appears..MSVCR80.dll is missing
Try reinstalling the programme to fix
If i remove itunes and reinstall. what happens to my music & playlists.?. Thanks

Hello danieljoseph57
Nothing, iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and aren't deleted by removing iTunes. Though it is a good idea to back up your iTunes files before any troubleshooting.

What happened to the YouTube app on iOS6?

YouTube is no longer built into the iOS, it is now a separate app download in the app store.

What happened to my "preloaded" playlists?

I recently downloaded the new version of iTunes and the "preloaded" playlists disappeared. Under "Library" I see "Devices", but no "Store" and no "Playlists" (including Party Shuffle, 90's music, my top rated, recently added, recently played, etc). Anyone know what might have happened to it?

I can't recall all the default playlists but they are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist. Can't help you with the missing Store however, you may need to reinstall iTunes.
"90s
Match the rule "Year">"is in the range">"1990">to>"1999"
You can do 50s, 60s, 70s & 80's by adjusting the range
Recently Added:
Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
Top 25 Played:
Uncheck the "Match the following rule" box
Then check "Limit to">"25">"Songs">selected by "Most often played"
Recently Played:
Uncheck the "Match the following rule" box
Then check "Limit to">"25">"Songs">selected by "Most recently played" make the "limit to" to suit yourself.
Top Rated:
Match the rule "My Rating">"is">"5 Stars" You can make that as many stars as you like from 1 to 5. Or you can make your rule "My Rating">"is greater than">"3 Stars" for example.
For all of these also check the box "Live Updating"

Podcast Playlists in IOS6?

I just upgraded to IOS 6. Podcasts are no longer in the Music app, but in their seperate, terrible, laggy, featureless (including no ability to create a playlist) app.
Because podcasts aren't in the Music app, I can't add podcasts to playlists, which *****. How are we supposed to make a list of podcasts while using the Nike+ stuff now?
Can I add podcasts to a playlist? Please tell me this isn't as bad as it looks.

Indeed. As far as I can see :-
Functionality before iOS 6:
* Make a playlist of podcasts I want to listen to on a long car journey.
* Call it "MINI1" so it shows up on my Mini's car audio system when I plug in my iPhone.
* Connect iPhone, close glove box, drive.
* Arrive several hours later having listened to many good podcasts in the order I wanted.
Funcitonality after iOS 6:
* Get entirely frustrated looking for a way of making a playlist of podcasts.
* Give up.
* Start Podcasts app, connect phone, close glove box, drive
* Twenty minutes later, podcast finishes.
* Attempt to choose next podcast by reaching into glovebox and fiddling with stupid app while travelling down motorway.
* Crash horribly and die a flaming, horrific death.
I'm fairly sure this isn't an improvement.

What happened to the (podcasts) downloads progress option on sidebar?

Got my Sidebar back but when I hit refresh to get the latest podcasts, the option to click on Downloads on the sidebar no longer appears!
This was a great feature since you could see exactly what was most recent...now I have to go thru everything?? Yipes - I've got about 100 podcasts and no way to scroll thru them to see the latest. Help!

Thanks for this helpful answer.
I just wish they would have left it as it was and not create a seperate window. They need to keep it docked underneath the purchase screen.

I have a jail broken iPhone4 with iOS 5.0.1. What happens if I automatically update to ios6? I'm afraid of my phone becoming a brick.

I'm really scared of my iPhone becoming useless and my software being completely messed up. A friend said he was upgrading my phone, but he was jail breaking it. I don't want this. I don't use jail broken apps or anything. I just want my phone in top working order with ios6. Can someone please tell me how to do this without messing everything up?

Hope it does restore. Too many report that the effects of JB are never fully cleared.
My grumpy opinion is you may be owed a new phone.

What happened to iTunes "print playlist"???

I like to keep physical copies of my songs on CDs. When I upgraded to the new version, the Print function of the playlist disappeared. Help?

Just in case - I found out through a friend I can still use the same functionality by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P. However, I'd still like to see it fixed and have the menu option available again.

What happened to I tunes10 playlist?

I used to make a play list, burn CD and play it in the car. Now there is no total time to see if I can fit the songs on one CD, plus no record button!!!???
Is there a way to figure out the total Playing Time in Play list, iTunes 10, or I have to sit down with my calculator?

I still see the total time of the playlist (as well as the number of songs and amount of space used on the hard drive) in the bottom margin of iTunes when I select a playlist. Are you sure that you don't have the bottom border off the bottom of your Mac's screen?
As to burning a playlist, there appears no longer to be a button in iTunes 10. Right-click (or control-click) on the playlist, or select the playlist and then choose Burn from the File menu.
Regards.

ITunes 7.7 and iPod Shuffle - What's up with the Podcasts Playlist?

I think that lots of the problems that people are having are a result of whatever changed in iTunes 7.7. After updating to the newest version of iTunes, my Shuffle wouldn't play and would only flash green-orange-orange (indicating that there was nothing on the Shuffle.) I noticed a new playlist called Podcasts, so I moved my podcasts there and the Shuffle played them fine, but I couldn't access any music. It seems that only the Podcast playlist is active.
In troubleshooting, I accidentally deleted the Podcast playlist and this meant I could switch between podcasts and regular music again. However, I lost the ability to manually sort my podcasts. I've had this problem before and resolved it by rebuilding the iTunes library. This time this didn't help - I futzed around for hours trying to get this essential feature (manual sort) working again. I deleted and re-installed iTunes, re-built the library and library.xml files multiple times, reset the Shuffle countless times (both from within iTunes and with the stand-alone utility) and swung the dead chicken three times over my head.
Nothing worked until I moved my music files to my desktop and deleted the iTunes folder from my music folder. I then re-built the library from the folder on the desktop (this caused the music files to be copied to the iTunes folder, rather than just creating the iTunes library) and manually re-subscribed to my podcasts. Once I did this, I could again manually sort my Podcasts into whatever order I wanted.
An interesting thing I noticed.... no matter what I re-installed or how many times I reset the Shuffle, the Podcast playlist never appeared again. Anyone know where to find any documentation on this Podcasts playlist and what it is supposed to do?

I wondered about this playlist too when I first saw it, didn't see the need for it until I discovered my ipod would no longer play my podcasts. So far haven't tried music but adding them to this playlist means I can now listen to them.
i hate the fact that when you start itunes it simply tells you there is a new version and if you don't update it keeps bugging you without any way to see what the update is for! Where are the release notes? Other than turning off auto update there's no way to avoid this annoyance. I wish apple would simply tell us what has changed so we know if we must upgrade or if it's simply a handy feature update. in the case of 7.7 I wouldn't have updated if I read the forums first and from now on, auto update is off and I'll simply check on my own schedule for updates and if one is found will read the forums as these are the source of info since apple gives nothing.
I would think that Apple would have gotten about 15 people with all different ipods (wouldn't be hard to get them) and simply get each one to update to the latest version of itunes without supervision or info and see if anyone reports issues. Surely one of them would have said "Hey what's this new podcasts playlist thing?" and they would have thought, maybe a release notes would be needed here...

So little playlist after update. what happened?

What happened to all the playlist? Browsing and listening to the spotify playlists was my favorite part of spotify. I've found so much new music that way. But with the update all you show is popular playlists which isn't nearly the amount of playlist you use to have. Am I missing something? is there a way to see all the rest of the play lists in a genre? Or are we stuck listening to only the popular ones?

that is where I'm looking and since the update all they have is popular playlists listed. Which brings the lists in each genre from like 50 or more to about 25 or so. How can they even be the popular ones if we can't see the other ones to play them?
