(Assuming you have the latest iTunes version) If you don't already have the desired episode in your computer's iTunes library, download it from the iTunes store. Connect the iPhone (either via WiFi or USB cable) and go to the podcast in the iTunes library. Drag the episode toward the right side of the screen.

Go to Settings, then scroll down and tap on Podcasts app icon: So I'm assuming you turned "Auto-Downloads" on... Then tap "Episodes to Keep" and specify which episodes you want to keep. (Depending on your listening habits, I'd not keep this setting on "All" because it can quickly eat up your available memory. Mine is set on "Last 3 Episodes" which gives ...

Same thing for me, this upgrade has brought nothing but headaches. You can still open Podcasts in your Music App by doing a search for the podcast name. Deleting the Podcasts app from your phone and killing the Music apps process (or reboot phone) will bring the Podcasts menu back to the Music app as well, hurrah!

Unfortunately, no. The combined Unplayed Episodes playlist has no settings and defaults to newest first. As of version 1.01, you can only sort individual subscriptions by oldest first. Even if you go through the trouble of changing each individual subscription preference to oldest first, Podcasts app will still keep the Unplayed Episodes playlist sorted ...

Is there somewhere that gives more than just a cursory explanation of how to use it? Probably not - Apple's not big on providing manuals when they don't think they're necessary. For example, when does it chose to download podcasts? Probably hourly. There's no option to change this that I can find. Can you force it to update the podcasts ...

If you run enough other apps for Podcasts to be unloaded from memory, resuming from the lock screen will start playing the Music app. There's no way around it. The only thing you can do for now is to delete the Podcasts app so you can play from Music again (after quitting and restarting it), and join the thousands of other people giving it 1 star in ...

Same here (iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1), dates are missing: although other podcasts are shown with release date: On the other hand, and quite surprinsingly, the podcast is shown correctly in iTunes: According to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3120228 the missing release date could be caused by an incorrect pubDate element. However, Reasonable ...

1. Tap on an individual subscription or "Unplayed Episodes": 2. Tap on the blue disclosure indicator: 3. This will display the show notes for that episode:

Here's how I understand your situation. You listen to podcasts regularly on your phone, but would like to access them on your computer as well. Additionally, you'd like your phone and computer to synchronize played episodes, downloaded episodes, settings, etc. However, you'd like to be able to access old podcast episodes on your phone that might not have ...

I can not tell you how to get older episodes into Apple’s podcast app via the graphical user interface (as I do use a different podcast app). However, I would like to offer a alternative solution that works for any podcatcher. Try Huffduffer (about). In a nutshell: it gives you a personal podcast feed which you can fill with any audio you want. You might ...

Make sure you have also set which podcasts to keep - i.e. last three, last two, etc. Ensure you have enough free space on your iPhone Finally, make sure that the Podcasts app is running in the background. If the app is not running, there is no way for it to auto-download. To ensure the app is running in the background, double-click the Home button when in ...

The podcast app is a bit convoluted to know which episodes are unplayed but available for streaming and unplayed and downloaded. I haven't been able to tell visually which is which and am in the habit of turning on AirPlane mode to check which podcasts are actually downloaded then going back and downloading them if needed before leaving Wi-Fi or wireless ...
