Why do i have to use the podcast app in iOS6 since it doesn't work correctly

I upgraded to iOS 6 and now you cant download podcasts through the itunes app... Now you have to download the podcast app and use that instead, but that wont work correctly for me... keeps hanging and not downloading the actual podcast. Does anyone know a way to get podcasts in iOS 6 without using this app?

Separating out a podcast app is a step backward. From a marketing perspective, podcasts are seen as something independent from music and television. But from a functionality POV, it just makes it harder to manage your audio on your iPhone.
Consumer Technology's objective has always been to make one device do more things, i.e. combine a phone into a music player. This step is akin to taking the ability to text and spinning it off onto a gadget you attach to your key-ring.
It's still there, but annoying to dig out when you want to use it.

  • 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.

  • HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

    Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

  • Why do manually added mp3s in the Podcasts app all show up in the same folder?

    Let me explain!
    I like to download lectures and talks and audio books from other sources than iTunes.
    I like to add these mp3 files to iTunes, change the Media type of them from Music to Podcast, and transfer them to my iPod Touch. This is so I will more easily know which ones have been listened to and can be removed.
    This worked (and works) well in the Music app. Everything was separated into folders based on what album name I had manually assigned to the ID3 tags of the files.
    But in the Podcast app, all of these files are now lumped into one folder.
    I currently have eight un-listened-to episodes of Philip K. Dick's Valis on my iPod Touch. But the folder shows a count of 106 unheard episodes in relation to this audio book, because it lumps all of my other manually added podcast media tracks into the same folder.
    Why is this?
    Why does the Podcasts app refuse to let me separate manually added files into individual folders based on album information?
    Had the My Stations feature let me populate its playlists in a more rational manner, and also allowed me to manually change the running order of the tracks (something which only seems to be possible in the On-The-Go playlist), I would not think that this omission was such an annoyance.
    I have been searching for months for mentions of this problem, but I have not seen a single one, and so I have finally decided to make my own thread.
    Let me know if the nature of my problem remains unclear.

    That doesn't do anything.
    When I plug my phone in and attempt to sync it with iTunes and click on "Steven's iPhone" under "Devices" the display to the right just says "loading..." and it stays like that for hours. Nothing happens.
    As far as I can tell, there is literally no way for me to delete the photos from my iPhone and I therefore, cannot upgrade to the newest software, download new apps, etc.

  • 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?

  • HT4972 I cannot update my Ipod to version 7 to be able to use the podcast app any longer.  This is very irritting.  This was oe of the biggest reasons I purchased my Itouch to begin with was to use the podcast app.  Now wnat?

    I have an Itouch and was very pleased with it.  No problems with it.  I recently updated it, but it will not let me update to version 7.  Now I can no longer get access to the podcast apps.  This was the primary reason I purchased my I touch to begin with.  Now what?  Don't tell me I have put purchase a new Itouch just to be able to continue to listen to podcasts.  Are you kidding me? 

    I suspect you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
    To get the version copatible with the 4G:
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Why do I have to use the mobile site to buy Skype ...

    Viber, TextNow!, every messaging app lets you use in-app purchasing, WHY DOESN'T SKYPE???? it's LAZY and incomvenient that we're forced to use the website, log in and input all our info. I'm not buying a penny worth of credit until I can use the standard payment method every other app uses.
    I feel insulted. It's like they intentionally made it more difficult for loyal Windows phone users.

    Did you have an unlimtited data plan before you purchased your Pixi?  Verizon told me two different times today that the free hotspot was no longer available unless you had an unlimited data plan BEFORE the July price change.

  • Why do we have to use the sales area?

    Dear experts,
    I was looking for SAP Documentation but couldn't find anything relevant.
    I'm using CRM 5.0 and ERP 2005. I'd like to implement the following scenario:
    - Create BP / BA / Technical Object and contract in CRM
    - Replication in ISU
    - In ISU, we are using the contract partner (role MKK) with a SD Customer.
    Can I implement this scenario without using sales area in CRM?
    From my understanding, we need to set up the sales area in CRM for 2 main reasons:
    Reason 1) Supported scenarios for BP replication
              Option a) CRM sold to party without sales area <-> ISU contract partner without SD
              Option b) CRM sold to party with sales area <-> ISU contract partner with SD
              So SAP doesn't support the scenario: CRM sold to party without sales area <-> ISU contract partner with SD
    Reason 2) We need the sales area to use sales transaction. For my scenario, i need to use service contract. so i need the sales area in CRM.
    Could you please tell me if i am correct? I heard that some people manage to replicate the contract partner in ISU without using sales area in CRM. And the SD customer was correctly created. (Because the SD customer is automatically created when a contract partner is created in ISU).
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards,
    Stephanie

    Dear Vikash and dear Javier,
    Thanks for your help. I am still confused with these sales area. But what you say is:
    - We can create a sold to party without sales area in CRM and it could be replicated into ISU as a contract partner with an SD customer.
    - To replicate the service contract into ISU, I need to assign to this document a sales area. Is it necessary because it will be replicated in ISU as an utilities contract and it's not an SD document? If the sales area are required, i will have to set up these sales area in the organizational structure (PPOMA_CRM). In this case, when I will create the service contract, I will have to determine the correct organisational structure based to some custom/specific rules?
    Sorry for these riddiculous questions but it's hard for me to understand this sales area concept.
    Thanks again,
    Stephanie

  • Why do I have to use the tab key even more to tab between page elements.

    Firefox versions prior to ver 4 I used the tab key to tab between page elements (form elements, buttons, etc). I upgraded to ver 4 and now when I tab from form element to form element I first see a gray line outlining the element area and then another press of the tab the element becomes active for me to use. I now have to use double the tab keys to move between form elements.

    Hello new_mac_user, see if the next works
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # in search field type (or copy/paste from here) '''accessibility.tabfocus'''
    # double-click on it and change the value to '''4''' (probably you have 1 the default on mac)
    # click ok, exit firefox and restart it.
    with the above you give focus to links (and linked images) only when you press the tab key.

  • I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button

    Hi all,
    I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
    When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
    I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
    The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
    The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
    We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
    Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!
    Rob

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • HT5295 Can I send Podcasts to Bluetooth using the Podcasts app?

    Just what it says above - not clear in the documentation, and I have not had the chance to try it in my car.

    Yes if the car supports the A2DP bluetooth streaming profile.
