Why is itunes removing podcasts from my iphone?

I keep having things going missing from my iphone.
It backs up to both my work pc and my home one, but I'm having so many problems with the work connection.
For example today, I spent a good few hours downloading podcasts to my phone, I plug it in to charge it, and itunes has copied all the podcasts onto the computer and taken them off the iphone.
Why???
I can't put them back on again because the iphone seems to be locked to only sync with my home pc (something that wasn't explained anywhere when I set it up).
I've had ipods for years but am finding having an iphone really frustrating. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong syncing-wise would be really appreciated.

This can't happen when just connected to a computer to charge. This can only happen when syncing and if you have sync podcasts selected under the Podcasts tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on this computer. Disable sutstic syncing when the iPhone is connected to iTunes on this computer.

The iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with most iPods, which is likely for security reasons that isn't a concern with an iPod. This means iTunes content can be transferred from a single computer only. Disable automatic syncing when your iPhone is connected to iTunes on your PC at work and don't sync your iPhone with iTunes on your PC at work.

  • Can I remove podcasts from my iPhone and keep them on my computer?

    Can I delete podcasts from iTunes from my iPhone but keep them on my MacBook Pro?  If so, how?  Thank you.

    Hello TNlaw,
    This can be done by subscribing to the desired podcast in iTunes on your computer, then deleting the podcast from your iPhone.

  • HT4623 how do you remove podcasts from the iPhone menu?

    I subscribed to a podcast on the iPhone, (from the iPhone itself) but now can't seem to remove it.  Any ideas?  There doesn't seem to be a way
    to unsubscribe from the podcasts on the iPhone or from iTunes.
    I have all the latest software.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks - but there are no episodes of the podcast itself.  It is the tile from the store that is clogging up space.  The podcasts themselves can be deleted - that's easy - but the subscription tile cannot - even though I am not subscribed anymore.
    The podcasts are not on my syncing computer's iTunes either, so can't be removed that way either.

  • Why is itunes deleting songs from my iphone 4s?

    So, I've had this happen at least 5 times now Over the course of a month.
    I put about 20-30 gigs of music on my phone (WHICH TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO SELECT), its fine.
    Then, if I connect my phone to itunes anytime after that, I have nothing but "purchased" songs on my phone.
    I have "manually manage music and videos" checked
    and "sync only check songs and video" checked as well.
    Never had this problem with the previous version of itunes.
    And I've narrowed it down to only happening when my My computer is connected to the internet,
    via wifi OR when my iphone is connected to my computer via wifi.
    Its really not too cool to be honest with ya.
    I don't want to stream music, and as paranoid and cynical as it sounds,
    it really feeels like apple is trying to force me into Beats subscription or itunes match or icloud, etc.
    I'm not interested in any of that. I simply want to put songs on my phone and go, with the ability to add songs later without them being deleted.
    Thank you for any help you can contribute.
    Version is itunes 12.1
    ios 8.2.

    Try going to the Advanced tab in iTunes prefs and clicking the "Reset all dialog warnings" button.
    Do you get prompted now?

  • Why can't I log into my itunes and icoud from my iphone?

    Why can't I log into my itunes and icloud from my iphone?

    I found the answer that works for me. (This information was not on Apple's website for troubleshooting this problem.)
    In Safari, (I use Firefox only) cookies must be enabled.  I never knew there was a connection between iTunes and Safari until now.

  • Can I remotely remove Apps from my iphone when not connected to iTunes. I have my apple ID and password. but my iphone is not in same wifi range

    Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
    You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
    If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.

    What pics?
    This is very vague.
    If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

  • How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

    I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone.  I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off.  How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library. 

    What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

    I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone.  Can someone please remind me?  I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

    Where are all these places, and how do I do it, step-by-step?  I really have zero understanding at all.  I know how to drag-and-drop mp3s onto my Sandisk mp3 player.  It's basically one-step.  I can't figure out how this is done in iTunes for an iPhone.
    Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.
    Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.
    Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.
    Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

    Here is the thing the actual license for Apple to have a native YouTube app has expired you must understand this more about Apple removing Google from its ecosystem and less about actual licenses.  If Apple was so inclined I am almost certain they could have continued to provide a native YouTube app.
    Do you really think that Apple Maps are "better" for iOS users?  You know that you can set your default search to another provider such as Bing?  Imagine Apple changing its default Safari search to Bing.  You must understand that Google makes more from searches on iOS devices than it does on everyting that is Andriod (source:http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-earns-four-times-more-from-ios-than-a ndroid/).  Apple is slowly and meticulously working on freeing iOS of Google products.
    Of course it is a free market and Apple will most certainly allow Google's apps on their app store. There is an iPhone optimized version of YouTube in the app store.
