IPhone :: Video Podcasts Cluttering Up Photos App?
May 22, 2012
I've been trying to figure this out for a while and haven't found a solution. When I open up my Photos app and view my Camera Roll I see my photos and videos shot with my iPhone, but I also see all of the video podcasts that I've synched from iTunes. This seriously clutters up my view of my photos and videos captured with the camera. This didn't used to happen. I only started experiencing this with one of the more recent iOS updates (can't remember which one).
Since upgrading to ios 5.1.1 I can not remove video podcasts from my iphone 4s.
I tried unticxking sync podcasts and agreed to the warnng saying they will be deleted from the phone, after synching they are still there. I remove them from itunes altogether and sync, same result.
When I go into the videos app and delete them there they dissapear temporarily. But if I exit the videos app and load it back up the videos are miraculously back.
Everything was fine until I upgraded to 5.1.1 last month, I just didnt notice until today when space was getting low.
how to remove them from the phone without having to do a restore?
There isn't a specific forum for this in the iOS Apps category so I am putting it here.I just downloaded the new Apple Podcasts app to my iPhone 4S.[URL]I have figured out how to find and subscribe to the podcasts I normally listen to but I am not sure how to get the podcasts to download over wifi so I can listen to them later.Don't want to burn up my data plan streaming podcasts when I'm on the road.The description says that you can do this, "Stream episodes or download to listen while offline" but I am not sure if it is happening.There is no visual clue to let me know that the casts are downloading or not.Do I just need to be patient? Or am I doing something wrong.
Within the music player on a 5800XM, how can I control the ordering of podcasts when using the Podcasts->By Title search option with the music player...? What this currently does is orders these is the newest first order, where as if you a listening to a radio drama (like me, who listens to the Archers approx twice a week) you want these to be in the oldest first order!
I have just installed the Media Go s/w for my new Experia phone (as I want to use it to play podcasts to replace my aging Zune) Trouble is when I ran the set up of Media Go, it found all my music and podcasts but sees them ALL as music (and has put nothing into the Podcasts menu (LHS panel) and found a way to make them go to the right place?
Also, when I almost gave up and tried to just set them all up again by subscribing to them insode Media Go, the choice is REALLY limited, so is no use either.
So I am not new to iphones, been in the game since the 3. But I just bought the 4s and for some reason my photos and video are not transitioning to the new phone. Any thoughts? Calendar, music and everything went great.
Something I noticed... When I switch from photos to videos on the back camera, it automatically zooms in a little bit with videos. Anybody else getting this problem? It wasn't like this on my 3GS.
why my photos and video shot on my iPhone 4 , all latest software, don't show up in iPhoto when I connect to my MBP anymore. I backup and synch through iCloud but when I connect with a cable to my MBP the photos dont transfer and they dont show up.
i was able to import my photos/videos from the iphone but now im stuck and cant figure out how to move them onto my old 8gb memory card. it keeps telling me that they're not formatted right or something.
I created a new album in my IPhone 4S ... I added 52 photos & video to the new album .. then i deleted them from camera roll to not have double photos .. I was surprised that photos were deleted from the new album as well .. I don't have a back up .. how I can get them back ? Â
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.1 with a really strange issue that has persisted even through a full reset. I've found similar threads but I've never found a thread where an issue is throughout the phone such as mine is. At one point I was able to somewhat fix everything but the Camera roll issues but in just a couple of weeks the other problems have all returned. The way I fixed this a few weeks ago was by throwing a hail Mary and deleting Instagram. As soon as I did that, the camera returned to normal even after re-installing it. I removed every Camera app and any apps that use the camera on my phone but this time nothing has fixed the issue. I've also performed a factory reset and restored nothing, re-configuring and installing all software again manually but this issue is still persisting.Â
The first noticeable symptom was my on my camera roll where images would appear like they were black or had some sort of dark filter over them. Many people have had similar issues and there is almost never a resolution on ANY of these threads.As you can see, while the preview is dark, the actual picture is fine. This means it's most likely not anything to do with the hardware side of the camera.Â
Inside the Apple Camera.App the view is also dark, as if there is some sort of dark filter on the camera. But if I apply a filter, the display looks "normal". As you can see below the, on the right with a filter applied the display is as expected. Other camera apps (Instragram, Camera+, MagiCam) have the same issue, but without the ability to set a filter like in the Apple app, the camera remains unusable in those applications.Â
This isn't all though, as we continue down the rabbit hole, the plot thickens. Even displaying photos in full-screen in other apps has that same dark filter look to it:Â This screenshot is taken inside Tweetbot. And as shown below, a similar issue with Music.app displaying Album covers. And while I don't have a screenshot for it off-hand, I've had the same issue watching video in full-screen in the YouTube app.Â
The phone had been using an iMac iTunes. I've now gone to a PC. (Forced to a PC because FCPX won't support my new video camera.) On new itunes, I registered new computer, backed up iphone, synced iphone (I think) and downloaded purchased music to new computer. But ... I can't get podcasts. I can't transfer old itunes library because it's on a large external hard drive that is not FAT 31. I am willing to lose stuff on present iPhone (only one purchased app) and I can restore music, but how do I get the iphone and new computer together so I can download podcasts, new music, new apps, etc?
Haven't tried to do this for a while but was trying to compile a playlist on my iPhone (4s, ios5.1.1) with just podcasts on it to listen in the car on a long journey. The music app doesn't give you the option of podcasts in the categories, just music. Used to be able to do this in my 3G.
When I download a podcast directly with my iPhone (in iTunes), it will be marked as "loaded", but I can't find it nywhere on my iPhone! I can go to "Music" and there to podcasts, but it says "no podcasts". If I sync it with my Mac, it will show the 2 podcasts and also sync it to my Mac. But still - no podcasts shown on the iphone, at least not accessible. It sounds like a faulty iOS update?I also tried to download a podcast on my Mac and then syncd it: It will show on iTunes under my iPhone-menue on the Mac, but on the iPhone itself it still comes up as "no podcasts".
Info: MacBook Air (13-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I have de-selected some podcasts from appearing on my iphone. Unfortunately they are still on my iphone! How do I actually remove podcasts from my iphone?Â
Ever since I got iTunes 10 I have been having problems with podcasts.
My iPhone 4 will not allow podcasts to be manually added. It will only allow podcasts to be synced by playlists. This is a pain because podcasts constantly get new episodes and I shouldn't have to create a specific playlist EVERYDAY. By the way the "manaully add songs and videos" button is CHECKED and has always been checked. The only time I'm able to manually add podcasts is when the iphone syncs the podcast playlist. And sometimes this doesn't work.
I listen to several podcasts and up until just this past week, I would be able to download new podcasts anytime. Now when I'm listening to the podcast in the Music app and I click on "Get More Episodes . . . ." and it opens up the iTunes App to the page to download more episodes of that podcast. But then the page never fully loads and none of the "Free" buttons will engage. So I can't view the whole list of podcasts and I can't even download the ones I can see.
All of a sudden after about 4 years my podcasts suddenly stopped syncing. I've never seen anything like it. I have 3GB free on the phone, more than enough for an episode of This Week in Tech, and yet it (along with a few others I've tried) refuse to sync. I can see them listed when I click on my phone under devices. It shows the title of the podcast in black then the title underneath it is greyed out and has a small sync circle next to it, similar to what you see whtn the podact is downloading, except it isn't spinning. I've tried redownloading the podcasts, rebooting the phone, rebooting the Mac, unchecking sync podcasts then selecting sync again, but nothing works. I've never seen this before. And yes everyting is up to date version wise...
I want the Podcasts that I've subscribed to in iTunes to appear automatically on any device (iPhone, iPad) that I have signed in under the same Apple ID. I subscribe to about 28 podcasts and it is a real pain to have to manually add each of those to both my iPhone and my iPad — not to mention keeping all that in sync as I add or delete subscriptions over time.
Do you think Apple is working on a fix for this? I've got the latest everything, iOS 5.1.1, iPhone 4S, iPad3, iTunes 10.6.3, iCloud. No luck
I have an iPhone 5c that I have always synced with iTunes on a laptop that belonged to my workplace. But I have left that job now, and with it, I have left the laptop. I now want to sync that same iPhone 5c on my iMac at home. This iMac has an iTunes that has NO podcasts on it ...Â
But when I prepare to sync the phone in iTunes and I click the podcasts tab and check the "Sync Podcasts" checkbox, it asks if I want to delete all the podcasts on the iPhone. I definitely *don't* want to do this ... I want those podcasts on the iPhone to be part of my backup on the computer. Many of these podcasts are older and no longer available for download from their original sources.Â
Is there any way that I can achieve this? It's not like I paid for any of these podcasts -- it's all free content, so I'm not breaking any copyright issues here.
I want to delete podcasts from my iphone after I am done listening to them, which works like a charm. The problem is that every time I sync, it download them again! For some reason the Iphone and ITunes refuese to talk to one another to ackowledge that I have deleted a particular podcast and Itunes dumps it right back onto my phone.
Is there a nice simple (Apple should be good at that...) way to delete them once and for all? I looked for a "When I delete songs I really mean delete" checkbox but there is none.
Why would they allow you to delete something if it will just come back and clog up your memory on the next sync?
