When in audiobooks I can't get to podcasts

I just recently started loading Audiobooks onto my iPhone4S (IOS 5.0.1), I listen to these and podcasts when driving to work. But I've found a strange quirk in the interface. To get to the Audiobooks I go into
Music>More>Audiobooks
But once I'm in the Audiobooks section, I often can't get back out again to the root  'Music>More' menu, so I can't get into the Podcasts section. Where the 'Back' button should be within the Audiobooks section is a link to the iTunes store. Even if I close and re-open the music app, it remembers that I was in Audiobooks and just takes me back there. It doesn't happen every time though, if I'm just browsing it doesn't seem to happen, but after listening to an audiobook to the end it nearly always ends up stuck and once it's gone wrong it stays that way.
To listen to a podcast I either need to reboot the whole phone, or else try and get Siri to play the podcast I'm after. Both of which can be a pain, expecially as some of the podcasts have names that Siri strugles with.
Anyone else seeing this? It looks like an interface bug, in certain circumstances they just forgot to include a back button. But maybe I'm just missing something?
Couple of things that might be an influence.
1. I mosly listen to this stuff using a Bluetooth connection in the car.
2. These aren't Audiobooks purchased through iTunes, but rather MP3 files I get seperately (review copies, not pirated). After I load them into iTunes they appear in the music section and I have to edit the info to make them Audiobooks. I'm wondering if manually setting the properties is confusing things?

I have this exact same problem. It seems like it would be an easy fix on a future update, as long as they are aware of it.
I usually just close the "Music" app and re-open it to fix the problem, but they really need to fix this glitch.
In case you don't know how to close an app: double-click the home button (this pulls up a list of open apps), press and hold one of the icons until they start wiggling, and then touch the little red "X" next to te "Music" app.

  • ITunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
    In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
    Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

  • My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    My previous session disappeared when I updated, how can I get it back?

    If you go to the History menu, is "Restore Previous Session" available? You can check that either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > History
    * classic menu bar: History
    If it's grayed out, then that's a bad sign.
    Do not close Firefox. First, try to rescue the following files:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
    In the window that launches, scroll down:
    (1) Double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Anything from the relevant date/time? If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    (2) Back at the main level, scroll down to the sessionstore file(s). Same question. If so, copy it to a safe location such as your Documents folder or Desktop.
    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
    * sessionstore.js and recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session; sessionstore.bak for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update; sessionstore.bak-''datetime'' for pre-33 versions of Firefox
    If you come up with something promising, you may be able to have Firefox use it for your next session (details if relevant).

    There are several very good third-party podcast apps you can download from the app store.
    Personally, I'm very happy with "DownCast".  I've given up on the apple podcast app, and DownCast seems to do everything I need.  My whole family uses it.

    Hey wingrider97,
    Are you trying to download the Podcasts on iTunes, and then sync them over to your iPod? Or are you attempting to download them directly to your iPod using the Podcast app? Depending on your answer, one of the following documents might help:

  • Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in & I can't get rid of them.

    Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in. I can't get rid of them. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies. I couldn't find an option to clear private data, don't know if that would work. My Yahoo password is not saved and my password is not the problem. I just want to know how to delete previously used emails from logging in suggestions so they stop appearing, hope you can help, cheeeers - Dave.

    Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the  Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
    What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
    I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
    Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
    Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
    Thanks again for your time and help

  • When in iMovie I can't get to iDVD.  I try share and iDVD, but it won't open.

    You can still get it, just not from Apple. If you buy it somewhere like Amazon or eBay make sure that you get the old version http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1362780369&sr=8-1&keywords=iLife

  • I can't get my podcasts to be uploaded into itunes.

    I keep trying different iterations but I can't get my feedburner feed to show up in itunes
    My podcasts are located here:
    http://www.storystorynight.org
    and the feedburner url I am tryign to put into itunes is
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/storystorynight/CnUF
    I originally tried to build the feedburner link to point to a separate page in the main blog at storystorynight.org but feedburner kept pointing at the primary blog page. So I put all the podcasts onto the main blog page, built a new feedburner feed (the one listed above) but still itunes can't locate the podcasts.
    What am I doing wrong? This seems awfully challenging for something that presumably isn't that difficult...

    I changed the Podcast Feed URL that I was trying to upload to itunes so that it points to the feedburner page (rather than pasting in the feed address from feedburner).
    I am trying this one instead: http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/livefeed?id=r47ek5nq0dgmdto751rokett74
    This shows the page w/ the podcast titles and if I click on the "Podcast" link on the feedburner page, it shows all of the audio feeds.
    The error I get from itunes when trying to add this page is:
    "Error parsing feed: Invalid XML: Error on line 847: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".
    I'm not sure that is better - it at least recognizes the link as existing...
    My understanding of all this is: the feedburner page should point to whatever blog site I have with all my podcasts, that way I can add new podcasts to my own page every month and the feedburner link will bring the new podcasts to the attention of itunes search...? Is this wrong?
    Do I need to create a separate feedburner link for each feed individually?

  • Can't get "deleted" podcasts to clear from usable ipod memory

    My nano memory is nearly full -- every time I try to add podcasts downloaded to my computer I get an error message that the nano's too full, so I try to delete older podcasts on it by selecting them and pressing the "delete" key -- and indeed get a message that the file has been deleted-- but it doesn't free up new memory, according to the "available memory" bar. On the other hand when I delete a music file from the song library the exact same way, it does. Where are these "deleted" podcasts hiding on my ipod, and how can I get rid of them and free up new memory space?

    No matter what I do I am not able to get podcasts
    that are video to load to my ipod. These are pdcasts
    that I am getting from I-tunes directly. Any help?
    Can anyone please help? It won't synch. I got all of my video podcasts on itunes so I don't think they need to be converted. They are not loading at all. It ignores the folder I set up for them completely. I am very frustrated. I tried a reinstall and still not luck. PLEASE help! If it is a problem with my Ipod I would like to return it.

  • I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

    I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

    So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct?  However, they will not sync with the device?  Are these video or audio podcasts?
    How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts?  You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes.  To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right.  Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
    If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

  • I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked.  I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button.  I need the actions script code to make this happen.

    I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time.  I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen.  I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code.  It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
    Thank you in advance

    It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description.  If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work.  Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.
