Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I can't find my podcasts now that I upgraded to IOS 6 and downloaded the Podcast app.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 6 last night and downloaded the podcast app because I tried to play a podcast within the music app and it pointed me in that direction. This morning I forgot about the podcast app and opened music while paired to Ford Sync and it asked me if I wanted to open the podcast in the Podcast app. I clicked OK or something like that and it then prompted me with another question if I wanted to transfer my podcasts to the new app. I responded with yes and a few of the podcasts show up but not all of them. When I sync with iTunes it shows all the podcasts that I've downloaded but they don't show up anywhere on the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I can't figure this out I'm going to be extremely dissapointed in Apples decision to go in this direction. I listen to podcasts everyday on my way to work.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I just figured this out. I had to go into iTunes on my Mac and tell it to sync all podcasts instead of all new podcasts. I hit sync and they started transfering back to my iPhone. I opened the Podcasts app and I can see them and play them. I hope this will help others.

WHY Apple....WHY do you keep breaking things that work???? Even though I had gotten ride of that annoying podcast application and went back to how it I had it before in the music app (which worked very well), after an ios update, it broke it again. Now even getting rid of the podcast application will get rid of podcasts forever. I cannot play them through my car. I cannot play them offline.


Congratulations! You've once again, taken something that actually worked well and broke it beyond belief.
