Why is the Podcasts app deleting podcasts? I want to keep them?

iOS7
4Gs (still kickin')
Latest version of Podcasts app from Apple
For some reason the Podcasts app is deleting episodes from my phone. I have no idea why.
For all of my podcast subscriptions I have "Episodes to Keep" set to "All", because I want to delete them when I am done with them.
I'll be driving to work, start listening to a downloaded episode, pause it for the drive home, and when the time comes, it's gone!
Why?
I'll re-download the episode and it usually picks up where I left off, but it is a total pain. I haven't even synced with iTunes since my computer is at home.
Dear Apple, is this a bug or a feature?
Dear support community...please help me!

Jennifer,
Check to make sure that the Deleting Apps restriction has not been enabled To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
If that is the case, remove the restriction, then delete the App. Lastly, make sure the App is not set up to sync to the iPod via the iPod's Application tab in iTunes.

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

iMessage was a beta product. If you upgraded to Mt Lion the program is now called Messages.

Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why is the Mail app deleting mail from my account?

Hi. I have used the mail app before and when i used it (i have hotmail) i connected it and all, but it started to delete mail from my hotmail account from the mail app. I have the newset software and i heard that a new mail app came. Is this fixed? I do not want to lose any emails from my hotmail account.
Thanks in advance!
-RahulRana

My primary email account is with my ISP. Through their webpage access to my account, I have it set to forward all mail (without deleting it) to my MobileMe account. I have Mail set to acess my MobileMe account only. This allows me to get all my mail without any of it actually leaving the ISP's mailbox.

Why do the podcast controls shift behind upper bar?

Why do the podcast controls shift towards the upper bar when you close the app, double click the home button, swipe to get to the controls, press play, listen to the "video podcast" for a few min (like you would if you wanted to listen to the podcast for a while instead of watching) and then return to the video? The video controls are shifted.

I've often experienced this sort of behaviour in CS3 on WinXP. It happens when I've been working on the same file for a long time, and it seems to indicate that I'm running out of memory (particularly VM?). Minimize/maximize gives temporary respite, Save As a bit longer, but eventually I have to close down ID and restart. I usually reboot at the same time just to make sure. Then I'm good to go for another few hours.

Why is the podcast section slow?

I know this is probably not a new thread, but I'm getting sick and tired of continued releases of iTunes 11 being released for Windows and nothing being done to actually fix the Podcast section of the program. Whether it's related to the podcast art or not, I'm not sure, but regardless, loading the section and each subsequent click takes between 3 and 10 seconds each time. Add to that the lack of alphabetised listing, fewer settings for podcasts in general, and I wish I didn't have to be so reliant upon iTunes for my podcasting needs.
Come on Apple, please provide a fix soon?

Podcasts are not "stored" in the iTunes Store, so - and I'm guessing here...
when a song is purchased in the iTunes Store, that download comes from the store itself and it's reasonable to assume that the list of songs is held by Apple in the store. The store will have an up-to-date list of the songs available, ready to give you at any time.
but since Podcasts are downloaded directly to your iTunes Library from the Podcast producer's host site (and not from the store), it's reasonable to assume that the iTunes Store obtains a list of the Podcast episodes only when you ask for it. That's how it's kept up-to-date. So the store has to "look outside" the store (to another computer, located who-knows-where) at the time you ask for the list of contents. That takes time, albeit a very short time.
So this almost certainly why it takes iTunes a while to display the list of Podcasts when you are searching in-store.
As for the artwork for Podcasts; again, this is the responsiblity of the Podcaster, not the iTunes Store. Artwork for commercially produced music albums is an established and accepted fact. The musicians and companies that produce the music are well versed in it. But Podcasts are completely controlled by the originator of the Podcast and are simply listed by the Store. Podcasts are often produced by individuals, or simply by people who either don't see the need for artwork, or don't have the resources to work out how to put the artwork on to their episodes. It's not that easy, believe it or not.
Apple/the iTunes Store does not "trade" the Podcasts (it doesn't "sell" them), and the store has almost no control over them.
Look on the bright side: Apple (The iTunes Store) provides you with a list of Podcasts and gives you a facility to download them into your iTunes Library and onto your iPod etc, for absolutely no cost to you. iTunes, the programme also does a fair bit of work to manage Podcasts, such as:
marking them as Skip when shuffling so thay don't play while listening to music in shuffle mode (a podcast is simply another audio file, just like your music Library);
organising them in your iTunes Library (well, in the List view, they are orgainsed. No idea what Apple had in mind with the other views!);
marks a Podcast episode as Remember playback position - incredibly useful for long speech Podcasts;
has a visual indicator to remind you when you have part-listened to a Podcast episode or fully heard it. This feature is also available on some iPods.
And before anyone says it, no, I do not think iTunes is perfect, particularly in Podcasts.
Downloaded episodes and other available (but not yet downloaded) episodes are now indistinguishable from one another. Mad!
Total unplayed episodes count now includes episodes that are not downloaded into my Library. Utter madness!
My Stations. I just don't get it!
The Podcasts App for iDevices. Well, I think my thoughts on that are best left unsaid. (The last time I looked, it still wasn't possible to create a Playlist of Podcast episodes.)

Cant checkmark the podcasts I want to apply and cant remove any checkmarks

I cant checkmark the podcasts I want to apply unless I checkmark the one underneath the one I want. I cant remove any checkmarks. I cant get itunes support to acknolwedge my serial number to get tech support.

"why cant i log on somewhere see what i have authorised and select the one i want to deauthorise. "
Because authorization does not work this way. Why do you nhot want to deauthorixze all?
"why do a mass deauthorise and what does it do? "
Deauthorizes all computers for playing itunes purchased content.
"does it wipe all songs?"
Of course not.
"apps? "
Of course not.
You lose nothing.
Just deauthorize all and then authorize the active computers. No big deal at all.

Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

Hi starbux48,
Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD?

Why does the youtube app doesn't play in HD? I couldn't find any option of changing the stream option also. Please help!

Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

Largely due to an overloaded server. Keep trying, every two hours or so. I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work. Be patient
I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
Hope this helps.

HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes.

Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes. Even the cheap PS3 Netflix app supports this.

Compared to what?
Does Netflix behave differently on other devices?
