    Weird Podcast app icon?

    Has anyone else noticed that the Podcasts app icon appears as a series of black line patterns against a white background when in the app viewer (or whatever it's called when you swipe up and see all your open apps). What's up with that? Here's a picture of what I mean: Is this a "just me"...

    Podcasts played/unplayed not syncing across all devices

    I listen to my podcasts on my phone more often than not using my headphones. But, when I want to play the next daily podcast, say on my Mac, it shows all episodes unplayed. I have to go back to my phone to remember which is the next unplayed episode. It's weird, because all my devices have...

    Why no volume control on lock screen (iOS 16.3)?

    So, in iOS 14 and 15, there are two sliders on playing media on the lock screen (Volume and Scrubbing). In iOS 16, that went away, and I'm kind of upset. it was super convenient for when I don't have the time to unlock my phone using FaceID or use the volume buttons. Anyone know why it went away?

    HomePod HomePod Mini: podcast player?

    I got a HomePod Mini for Christmas and set it up. I'm just getting accustomed to it. One thing I do a lot is listen to podcasts. For years I've used the Downcast app as my podcast accumulator and player. The Mini says it cannot access that app! Has anyone got a workaround for using a podcast app...

    Storage Displaying Inaccurate Podcasts Storage??

    The storage on my iPhone 13 Pro, and especially my iPad Air, overestimate the storage that my Podcasts app is taking up. I’ve noticed this since iOS 14.

    Podcasts on PowerPC

    Hi all, I’m trying to find a way to listen to podcasts on either a G4 iMac or PowerBook, both running leopard. It’s looking like iTunes 10.6.3 won’t allow podcast downloads, though.

    How do I transfer Podcasts to my Mac?

    I just realized my iPhone has 88GBs of podcasts on it. Some of those episodes are not available for download anymore. I'd like to transfer them to my mac mini, which my iPhone isn't synced to. Is there an easy way to do this without some shady third party app I have to buy?

    I was curious if anyone has found an Apple website that lets you listen to your subscribed Podcasts. They have one for the new Apple Music and it syncs with your iCloud account. I was hoping there was something similar for Podcasts so I could listen to them when I don't have my phone available...

    Memory footprint of new Catalina media apps?

    Anyone know the average memory footprint for the new Music, Podcasts, and TV apps? (I say 'average' because there's variability in the footprint over time. Upon first launch, it's always at a low amount, but that changes over time.)

    Garage band final product way different

    Hey everyone, I'm using the latest version for podcasting. I have found all the perfect settings and when I listen to the piece before compiling all the tracks into the final track, it sounds amazing. Volume and pitch is perfect, no echo and no reverb. However, when I export it to MP3 or AAC, it...
